Of course, Lin Sen didn't know that his team would become Pellegrini's interview question if they accidentally became Pellegrini's interview question, otherwise he might not have given Pellegrini a global problem.

This problem is intensive defense.

Cracking intensive defense is a compulsory topic for all head coaches, but it is also the most unsolvable topic. Even Guardiola, who just led Barcelona to scrape this season, still frowns when encountering this problem. There are only two recognized ways to solve this problem, and there are two types of people who are quite good at character, one is long-range shot and the other is set pieces.

What made Pellegrini's frown deeper was that Lin Sen's team even restricted these two methods of looking at faces to the greatest extent, which was almost equivalent to Malaga, who set up another line of defense at the front of the penalty area, did not give Villarreal a chance to shoot long-range shots, let alone free kicks. There were not many teams playing three midfielders in La Liga, but there were not none. They just turned all three midfielders into sweepers, and there was really nothing left.

Therefore, in addition to frowning, Pellegrini can only count on the third method, that is, the other party makes a mistake.

However, Pellegrini may still be disappointed in this regard.

Continuous offense may indeed increase the defensive pressure of the defensive party and the psychological pressure of the defensive players. When the pressure is not released, mistakes will become inevitable. Therefore, pressure is the key. However, whether pressure can be generated is actually related to whether the defensive party actively defends or passive defense. If it is passive, it will indeed generate pressure, and it is exponential pressure, but if it is active, it is the counter-effect. A typical example is that in the away game between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, which is not sure whether it will happen next season, Inter Milan, who is one less, laughed to the end in front of the powerful Barcelona.

A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks.

For Villarreal fans, the team played in a heart-warming manner, with a ball possession rate of more than 70% and a pass success rate of 80%. The game almost turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill. However, in the eyes of Valdano in the stands, Villarreal played lively, but the one who took the initiative on the field was the defensive side, because Villarreal's offensive power was "fighting" or "given" by others.

Things given by others are either owed you favors or have bad intentions.

Sure enough, in the 76th minute of the game, Malaga, who was "tortured" for most of the game, showed his fangs for the first time, leaving a bloody scar on Villarreal's body: Senna forced a long shot at a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal, Godia easily picked the ball and launched a counterattack, Gabi transitioned to Reus, Reus passed the ball with one goal, and Lewandowski successfully went to the meeting alone.

The Love Song Stadium was strangled in the blink of an eye, and there was a silence.

The Oriental man standing on the sidelines seemed not to score the goal, his team looked calm, but he just plucked his palms a few times when scoring the goal, turned around and turned to the coach's seat, then sat in his seat, turned his head and said something to Tapia next to him.

Bardano in the stands shook his head.

He originally thought that Pellegrini should have made changes earlier in this game, but the fact is that Pellegrini has not made any substitutions until now. Bardano understood the Chilean engineer's idea. Regardless of whether Villarreal's offensive power is given or not, the offensive team on the court is his team. As long as his team is attacking, then his team will be invincible. After all, the football game is not a basketball game. Villarreal only needs one opportunity to decide everything.

But unfortunately, luck is not with Villarreal. The goal did happen, but it was not their goal, but Malaga.

Villarreal has shot dozens of times so far, only two times in the goal frame and no goals were scored. Malaga has only three shots in the whole game, hitting the target three times, and scoring once.

For Villarreal, this is luck. For Malaga, this is efficiency.

With stoppage time, Villarreal has nearly twenty minutes to equalize the score or even overtake the score, but Bardano thought: the overall situation has been decided.

Reversal is an exciting drama in the football game. But reversal never depends on luck. Physical strength, momentum, and tactics cannot be said to be incompatible, but at least you must have one that can completely overwhelm your opponent. At present, Villarreal has no physical strength or even at a disadvantage, and there is no way to deal with the opponent in tactics. Even the momentum that should have an absolute advantage was severely hit by the goal just now.

Pellegrini wants to win? Why?

In the final stage of the game, Pellegrini made his final efforts. Pirez, Nihat, Ibagasa and other offensive players successively replaced the midfielders, while Linsen went the other way and simply removed two wing attacking players and replaced Alba and Alvaro Silva. This time, the turtle, who had stretched its feet from time to time, simply shrank its feet into the turtle shell...

At the last moment of the game, Pirez's corner kick flew directly out of the other side line, and the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

1:0.

Malaga wins.

Pellegrini looked at Lin Sen, who was walking towards him with a complicated look on his face, and his heart was mixed. Two draws and one loses, and finally, he fell below in the battle with him.

In the first match, Pellegrini won the tactics with his skillfulness, and both sides won the half-time game, but unfortunately they lost their physical fitness, so the game was a draw.

In the second match, both sides won and lost the tactics. Pellegrini's team had the advantage in physical fitness, but unfortunately the momentum was on the other side, so the game was still a draw.

In the third contest, both sides were evenly in terms of physical fitness and momentum, but Pellegrini fell below tactics for the first time. Although this was related to the two teams' absolute different positioning of this game, the score would only reflect the most objective things, so Pellegrini lost the game.

Lin Sen, who came over, just shook hands with Pellegrini and said nothing, and then the two walked into the corridor one after another.

Pellegrini quickly adjusted his disappointment. For him, no matter how important a league is, it is just a league. No matter how it is, it will not be more difficult to digest than being eliminated from the Champions League. At the post-match press conference, he admitted frankly that the situation of the team before this game did affect his tactical arrangements and took the responsibility for the team's loss to himself. At the same time, this time, he finally stopped performing a "praise" program with Lin Sen, but instead focused on the players of Malaga, especially Lewandowski, who scored the goal, praising the Poles as the biggest discovery of La Liga this season.

Pellegrini's praise is not a change of topic. Lin Sen knows no matter how good the team is, he is.

To be honest, in Linsen's eyes, Malaga is not inferior to any team in La Liga, except Barcelona and Real Madrid, even Valencia, who has the two Davids champions. Lewandows, who was praised by Pellegrini, has had a second full-body flash in the basic game. Linsen doesn't know how many flashes a player needs to experience from a star to a superstar, but it is obvious that Lewandowski is gradually becoming the striker in Linsen's memory.

In addition to Lewandowski, two other players in Malaga have had their first flash, one is Gaby and the other is Gundogan, which is not considered Cork, who has left the team. As for Reus, who has always performed well, he has not yet flashed. This situation is in line with one of the players' laws, that is, the opportunity to play determines everything.

Whether it is Lewandowski, Gabi or Gundogan, the biggest difference between them and Reus is that their position has been relatively stable this season, while Reus only stood firm after Cork left, and there was no need to suffer a minor injury during this period.

After winning Villarreal, Malaga's ranking in the league standings remained unchanged, but the situation was already very good.

Although the two top teams Barcelona and Real Madrid won all this round, Sevilla, who ended the game at the same time as Malaga, lost 0-1 to Getafe at home. Now, although they are still ahead of Malaga, their points have been tied and they are leading Malaga by only the winning or losing relationship. The two pursuers Villarreal lost to Malaga in this game, and Atletico Madrid was tied by La Coruña away, the gap further widened and reached the three-game gap.

With only eight rounds left in the league, the situation in La Liga is already very clear.

The First Group has completely lost the entanglement of the Second Group. Barcelona will become the champion of this season without any surprise. The only suspense left of the First Group is who will participate in the qualifying round. The second Group will undoubtedly be very fierce. Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Valencia are currently ranked fifth to seventh, but the gap between the eighth-ranked La Coruna and the ninth-ranked Espanyol and Valencia is within a game.

Similar to the fierce competition for UEFA Cup qualification, it is the most brutal relegation battle. Except for Vilva, who has only won five games so far this season, is almost certain to be relegated, currently there are possible relegation teams playing seven more teams. Except for the second-to-last Numancia and the third-to-last are two games, the other six teams have a point gap of within three points. Heaven or hell's choice will make these teams perform the final madness.

However, for Lin Sen, who ended the devil's schedule, it was no longer a matter of hang up. Although Malaga had to play a life-and-death battle with some of the teams in the remaining eight rounds, competitive sports, after all, are all happy and sad, and happiness, and are always based on the pain of others.

Back in Malaga, Linsen received another email.

Not from Rinaldi, but from someone who almost made him forget: Tang Hua.
