When Manzano saw Malaga's starting list, he was actually a little overjoyed.

Because Lin Sen made a large-scale rotation of the starting lineup, as he expected, and he would never think that this was Lin Sen's contempt for Mallorca. Everyone knows that Malaga's league opponent three days later is Barcelona.

In fact, Mallorca is not very lucky. As the seventh place last season, Mallorca originally had a great chance to play in the Europa League. However, no one expected that the two teams that entered the Cup of Kings last season would be Valencia and Getafe. None of these two teams qualified for the European competition. Regardless of Getafe, Valencia actually fell to tenth last season.

This season, Mallorca, who lost several generals in the summer, suffered setbacks in the start. So far, he has only won three games in eight games. Although it is too early to talk about relegation, it is not far from the relegation zone. This is why Manzano does not intend to give up the Copa del Rey, especially when the opponents are also not relaxed in the next round.

It is normal for Manzano to feel happy, but the fact is that he is a little early to be happy.

Because Lin Sen did not really give up the King's Cup as he imagined. For him, he just changed his lineup and planned to experiment with new tactics.

The goalkeepers are captain Arno, with Rosato, Ranokia, Bonucci, and Games lined up in line. Gabi and Abno have always been the main players with double gates, while the attack line is Reus, Isco, Duda, and Longdongding at the forefront. If it is put in a few years, who dares to say that such a lineup will definitely lose to the previous starting lineup?

The most obvious rotation should be the Italian partner Bonucci and Ranokia on the back line. After the start of the league, Lin Sen has always been conservative about the use of this pair. The most important thing is naturally the position relationship. In addition, there are some polishing ideas in it. The most important characteristic of young players is patience, especially for the defenders, this is especially important.

The two young men performed well. Although they had not won the opportunity to start for a long time, there were no problems in their attitudes. Although the training was not very hard, they were also conscientious. Of course, this cannot rule out the reason why the two people are very clear about their position in the team.

Bonucci is purely loaned. Bonucci knows very well about this kind of loan, but there is no free lunch in this world. Generally, this kind of loan contract has a recall clause, which is to prevent players from not being able to get exercise in the game after the loan is left. Even if not, there will inevitably be regulations on playing time. Otherwise, it is impossible for people to rent the player to you for free. Therefore, Bonucci does not need to worry about this at all. And Lanokia's patience is better explained. As the most expensive signing in Malaga in summer, he has no reason to worry that he will be given up without even a game.

But no matter what, the patience of the two finally got paid off.

Lin Sen couldn't always use the two conservatively. In fact, after the game with Real Madrid, he realized the need to get Bonucci and Ranokia to the top as soon as possible. In the game with Real Madrid, Malaga's defense performance was hard, but he still lost three goals, and it was a half-time game. The reason why it is said that it is not hard work, not outstanding is because it is purely a gap in strength.

There are not many geniuses in this world, but not without them. When the genius appears in front of mortals, mortals need to work hard to narrow the distance between themselves and geniuses. But sometimes, hard work does not mean that everything can be made up for. Just like the efforts of tens of millions of mortals may not be able to withstand Einstein. At this time, Hawking needs to appear.

In addition to the two central defenders on the back line, Lin Sen's lineup has the biggest change in the attack line. Reus and Isco are both the first starts this season.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Going home and then home is a good sign for the knockout round, because even if you lose the game, the home court in the future will always leave you with some thoughts.

Manzano knew that Malaga's tactic was a defensive counterattack, and their primary task in the away game was to score away goals, so after Mallorca started the game, he skipped the tentative steps without any politeness and started the attack.

Lin Sen didn't care about Mallorca's turnaround.

However, Lin Sen is quite familiar with the two players on the court. The first thing that is to bear is Jurado, who played for Atletico last season, followed by Gabi's partner in the future: Mario Suarez. Speaking of which, Lin Sen had thought of bringing Mario Suarez to Malaga, but at that time, Atletico Madrid, who had already known that Lin Sen became the head coach of Malaga, was not even Livermore. In the end, Mario Suarez came to Mallorca, and the price was only 800,000. So, Gabi and Mario, the former good friends, had to fight each other now.

Less than five minutes into the game, Manzano realized something was wrong. He felt something was wrong like him, and there was a man in the stands.

Pepe-Costa.

Barcelona's scout.

Barcelona's spies came to watch the game in person, but the purpose was not to examine one of the players among the two teams, but because Barcelona's next-round league opponent was Malaga.

In fact, Costa also wondered why Guardiola sent himself to watch the game. Although Malaga is the top of the list now, it is still a dark horse after all. Even if it is taken seriously, it is not enough to watch the game on the spot. Although La Liga is popular, Malaga's defensive counterattack is not uncommon. You should know that Barcelona has become a devastating trend in La Liga.

But now, what is in front of him is actually an offensive Malaga.

Malaga's current offense is very patient, not like the previous team that pursues efficiency. The passing is progressing layer by layer, and the young men in the frontcourt seem to be extremely active. In just a few minutes of the game, Isco has played several fun times, which aroused cheers several times in the stands. The first goal also originated from Isco.

The first goal was Malaga Isco's breakthrough won a free kick with an excellent position for Malaga, and Rosato scored it in one go.

Colorful smoke suddenly emerged from Manzano's head.

Is this going to kill me? Malaga doesn't play defensively and counterattack? Has it changed to play pass control?

The game suddenly entered the rhythm of Malaga. Not only Isco was outstanding, but Duda and Reus also made a murderous breakthrough on both sides. Several attacks forced Mallorca to put away his offensive posture obediently.

However, Manzano deserves to be Manzano. He was able to bring Mallorka to seventh in the league last season. After discovering the changes in the game situation, he made decisive changes. He broke the general practice of not taking the initiative to substitution in the first half, and directly replaced a forward and a midfielder, and began to strengthen his control over the midfield. This change also came true immediately.

As the first half approached, Mallorca equalized the score with Alango with a counterattack.

Lin Sen didn't mind letting the opponent score a away goal, but he frowned a little at the loss of the ball just now, because in that defense, the Italian combination that was launched by him for the first time still exposed the shortcomings of tacit understanding. Both of them actually chose to grab it, so that Alango seized the opportunity.

"This is a price."

Lin Sen smiled bitterly in his heart. Just like the principle of a weak team excluding a goalkeeper, perhaps the maturity of the defender also needs to be accompanied by repeated concealment of goals.

In the second half, Lin Sen still made no changes, and maintained the original team in the first half. Costa in the stands shook his head in his heart. Through the first half, he still saw something. The current Malaga team actually seemed to be learning Barcelona's tactical concepts. Not to mention defense, they always tried to tear open the opponent's defense line through passing the ball in the offense.

This forced Costa to feel a sneer overestimating his ability: Can anyone imitate Barcelona?

It seemed to be in response to his sneer, Malaga's pass in the frontcourt had another problem, and the ball was quickly cut off by Mallorca to launch a counterattack. In the first half, Malaga's defense, which had a poor performance, made another mistake in the back line, failed to make an offside, and Alango scored twice.

1:2.

Mallorca overtook the score away.

But even so, Lin Sen still did not take action on the back line. The three substitutions were then used on the offensive players, and the tactics remained unchanged. On the contrary, Manzano began to stabilize the defense after leading, and the remaining two substitutions were replaced with defensive players.

The game has completely become one-sided, of course, just one-sided in the situation.

Mallorca finally held the score.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the celebration of Mallorca players made Malaga fans a little sad and a little relieved.

Sadly, they had been in the whole game until the whistle sounded, and suddenly realized that Malaga, who had played the most gorgeous offensive this season, actually lost the game. This was also the first defeat that Malaga encountered in the new season.

Fortunately, Malaga finally became a team that would be ecstatic after being defeated.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The experiment failed!

Lin Sen didn't want to explain this defeat too much. Beautiful football is indeed something that ordinary people can play, but he has gained nothing. At least, the loss proved one thing to all the players, that is, Malaga is now, and he can only honestly play his own defensive counterattack.

After leaving the Rose Garden Stadium and getting on the bus, Costa wrote a strong comment on his game report.
Chapter completed!
