Schuster never dreamed that in the fourth round of the league, he would encounter a team of Malaga, who ranks higher than his Real Madrid in the standings.

Simply speaking, from the opponents of the two teams in the first three rounds, Real Madrid's three opponents are La Coruña, Numancia, Atletico Santander, and Malaga is Atletico Madrid, Atletico Bilbao, Almeria and Malaga's three consecutive wins are worth noting. From the competitive state alone, Malaga is even better than Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost the first round, and tried his best to defeat Numancia in the first round with a score of 4-3 in the second round. Although the score was 2-0 in the third round, both goals came from set pieces, which shows that Real Madrid's condition is far from the best.

In contrast, Malaga has almost the same pattern in three games, with a solid defense and a sharp counterattack. In addition to the last goal against Atletico Madrid in the first round, the two games won can almost be described as calm and unstoppable. There is no way to see the rising and falling conditions of the newly promoted team. The local media in Malaga have begun to cheer for the team's excellent start.

However, Real Madrid is not the only card top. At least, they have occupied the absolute top of the historical record of the two teams. Since the end of the last century to the present, the two teams have played 14 games in total, with Real Madrid winning ten and four draws, and no one losing! Therefore, it is not that Schuster intends to underestimate Malaga, but his evaluation of Malaga, who has won three consecutive victories, has only risen from being a "renewal" contempt to not being a contempt.

Of course, this does not prevent Shuster from praising Malaga at the pre-match press conference, and Lin Sen, who once joked about him last season, also praised him in various ways.

"As a newly promoted team, Malaga performed perfectly. On Sunday's game, we had to raise the spirit of 12 points to deal with it. Rose Garden Stadium has never been an easy course."

"Lin performed very well. He showed his coaching skills at Atletico last season. This season in Malaga, I think he has the ability to do better."

Of course, Lin Sen would not be naive to think that Shuster would be afraid of Malaga. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Real Madrid is behind Malaga, if Malaga is really floating, it would be really not far from death. So, at the press conference before the game, Lin Sen not only praised Real Madrid for a long time, but also put a smoke bomb.

He directly announced the starting lineup against Real Madrid.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"That's really tomorrow's starting list?" Tapia looked at the screen and asked casually with a leisurely look on her face.

"What do you think?" Lin Sen frowned, staring at the front with his eyes, and seemed to answer casually.

"I think you're putting smoke bombs."

"I know you're asking."

"...Isn't it too...immoral?"

“Football is higher than morality!”

“…”

"Besides, most of the starting players I mentioned are true."

“…”

I guess so, Tapia was a little helpless. He found that he seemed to be unable to keep up with Lin Sen's thinking pace. Could it be that this is the "generation gap"? But why is he adapting more and more?

"Antonio, do you want to know my prediction for the next game?" Lin Sen said, who was still frowning.

As soon as he heard Lin Sen's words, Tapiya's hand shook and he turned his head to look at Lin Sen. Now, the two words predicted are almost becoming his sensitive words.

“goal……”

Before Lin Sen's answer was met, Tapia waited for the TV in front of him to make a passionate sound. He quickly turned his head. Sure enough, the score had changed in the upper left corner of the TV screen: Real Madrid 1:1 Malaga.

Tapiya was immediately amazed and laughed. He didn't play like this and even cheated on playing a game.

Looking at Lin Sen next to him, Tapia could only continue to shake her head helplessly.

Inviting Lin Sen to come to his home for dinner was Tapia's own idea. After all, he had bothered Lin Sen several times, either actively or passively. Lin Sen happily agreed to Tapia's invitation. So, after the training, Lin Sen and Tapia came to his home for the first time. Since they came directly from the stadium, Lin Sen didn't have time to bring any gifts. He originally wanted to go into the kitchen to help Mrs. Tapia, but the enthusiastic Mrs. Tapia didn't give him a chance at all. Lin Sen had to sit in the living room and wait for the meal.

At this time, Tapia suddenly moved out a PS3, so the two of them, who were also fifa game enthusiasts, quickly formed a group. At first, they chose both world-class teams and were very happy to play. Lin Sen relied on his youth and quick eyes to win Tapia several times. Tapia lost and his face turned black. Later, the two sides switched to the club level. Tapia chose Real Madrid without saying a word, and also designated a team for Lin Sen: Malaga. In his words, as the head coach of Malaga, are you embarrassed to use other teams?!

So, Lin Sen began the process of being abused to death.

"The meal is ready."

Mrs. Tapia's greeting rescued Lin Sen, who had already moved his mind outside the game. Lin Sen simply pushed him out of the game, and Tapia had no choice but to stop.

At the dinner table, Lin Sen praised Mrs. Tapia's craftsmanship, not completely polite. Not to mention anything else, at least Tapia's risotto was blown into the sky. Lin Sen, who had been in Spain for several years, found it delicious for the first time. I don't know if it was because of his concentration in eating. Because during this period, Lin Sen and Tapia "relapsed" several times planned to eat and chat, but they were both stopped by Mrs. Tapia.

It was not until after the meal that Lin Sen finally really discussed tomorrow's game with Tapia.

The opponent is Real Madrid. According to many people's estimates for the game, Malaga is less likely to lose as a win in this game. This may be the general mentality of most La Liga clubs when facing Real Madrid and Barcelona. The title of Spanish Super League is not fake. These two teams are not on the same level as ordinary La Liga teams. Therefore, for this game, many people think that Lin Sen's pressure will be unprecedentedly huge, but in fact, Lin Sen's pressure can be said to be equal to nothing, because no matter what the game is, the club and fans will not be too entangled.

For Real Madrid, Malaga will continue to adopt a defensive counterattack strategy, and Linsen and Tapia have a consensus on this. However, there was a little difference between the two sides on the starting lineup. Tapia's previous questions about Linsen's starting lineup were not just casual.

In the first three games, Malaga's starting lineup had almost no changes in its other positions except for the occasional change in the forward line. The seamless connection between the two forwards and the team's tactics also surprised Lin Sen. Longdong scored a goal in the first round, and Lewandowski, who started the second round, also successfully won his first goal in La Liga. Lin Sen originally planned to let the Poles start and Longdong substitute, but now it seems that these two forwards with similar figures but different characteristics can completely rotate according to the different opponents.

Judging from the results, the best thing is the team's defense line. He only conceded one goal in three games, and central defender Rosario even helped the team secure the victory in the last round. But from the performance, Lin Sen was actually most satisfied with the team's midfield barrier, especially Gabi. The future Atletico captain is too outstanding. Gabi, who no longer sticks to the role of "metronome", has inspired his defensive ability. After three games, the running distance, key steals and other data are dazzling.

Therefore, it is better to say that the team's defense is good at midfield and frontcourt defense. Lin Sen is not trying to ignore the efforts of the defense line, but he knows that for Real Madrid, the midfield and frontcourt may not be able to share much pressure with the defense line at that time, and the team's defense line will face the biggest challenge. Therefore, Lin Sen plans to move the team's defense.

And Lin Sen and Tapia's differences arise here.

According to Lin Sen's plan, in the next game, Lin Sen plans to let Rosato, who has recovered from injury, return to the starting lineup, then push Alba to the winger and remove Cork. On the other side, last season, Kareyan, who has a stronger defensive ability, replaces Elisu. In other words, in a sense, Lin Sen is preparing to play "four-side back", and Lin Sen did this trick when he was at Atletico Madrid.

Regarding Lin Sen's plan, Tapia did not think he was too conservative, but thought he was too risky. It was nothing wrong to strengthen the defense, but he also put forward two reasons. First, Rosato had just returned and his condition may not be guaranteed, not to mention that he was an opponent like Real Madrid. Second, the two sides, Cork and Elisu, each scored one goal in the first three games, have shown excellent form. The two opponents Real Madrid's two major wing assaulters last season, the cyclist Robinho went to the Premier League, and the Pan Robben has not recovered from injury yet. Is Lin Sen's move too much?

Tapia's two reasons were justified and the evidence was conclusive, and Lin Sen had no way to refute it. Therefore, he simply nodded and admitted it, but did not intend to change his mind. The reasons also made Tapia unable to refute it.

When Rosato was on, Lin Sen was not only interested in the experience of Brazil's defender, but also his skill: free kick. Rosato, the number one free kicker of Malaga last season, was a great choice. In the last week of training, Lin Sen has been deliberately observing Rosato's free kick, and the result was satisfactory. For teams that play defensive counterattacks, set pieces have always been an important scoring method. Previously, Lin Sen was worried that Malaga has no good free kickers. Although Isco and Reus are all free kick masters in the future, they have no choice but to be the future. Therefore, Rosato's comeback has made up for this shortcoming.

Secondly, it is a fact that Cork and Elisu performed well, but Cork is still too young after all. Although his mentality has been proven against Atletico Madrid, his body cannot deceive people. Ruiz's physical fitness report is not to be ignored. Cork, who has started three consecutive games, needs to rest. Ellisu's problem in scoring the goal in the last round is similar to Cork, but it is not physical fitness, but a little injury. Although the medical team's examination results were not serious, Lin Sen has his own opinion and Malaga must do his best to Real Madrid.
