The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 158 Champions League debut
At 07:30 in the evening, the starting players of both sides followed the four referees out of the player tunnel and into the court.

They were greeted with cheers and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Angelecht!"

"Angelecht!"

"Angelecht!"

The home fans, with an absolute advantage in numbers, chanted their team's name.

Despite the disadvantage, Malaga fans made their voices heard:

"Malaga!"

"Malaga!"

"Malaga!"

The Anderlecht TV commentator said loudly: "With the entry of the starting players from both sides, it indicates that the game is about to start!
Below we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Van den Brom formed a [-] formation, goalkeeper: Proto, four defenders: Nudinke, Wasilewski, Deshanghi, Gillette; two midfielders: Kouyatt, Billy Asia; three midfielders: M. Bruno, Mbokani, Platt; center Kanu!
Pellegrini's formation is also [-], goalkeeper: Wilfred; four defenders: Verigton, Demichelis, Monreal, Sanchez; two midfielders: Camacho , Itura; Three midfielders: Eliseu, Isco, Joaquin; Forward: Saviola!
Many players in Malaga's midfield are experienced and famous players, such as: Joaquin, Saviola and so on.

Isco has made a sudden breakthrough this season and has performed very well in both La Liga and the Champions League. He has been dubbed a 'demon star' by the Spanish media!
Together with Li, they are called the Malaga Twins!
We all know that due to the broken chain of funds, Malaga once caused a financial crisis before the league started.

In the transfer market, they can only make a living by reselling players. Among them, the departure of the midfielder Cazorla has the most obvious impact on Malaga.

However, there are also powerful players such as Saviola, Tulalang, and Joaquin in the Malaga team, coupled with the rich coaching experience of the famous coach Pellegrini, Malaga's combat effectiveness is very strong.

Coupled with the young player Li who did not start this game, so far, Malaga is only behind Barcelona by one point, occupying No.2 in the La Liga standings!
Therefore, this is a La Liga upstart whose morale cannot be underestimated. Van den Brom and his team must be careful! "

The commentator of Malaga TV said: "Anderlecht regained the league championship last season, eliminated Ilanas and AEL Limassol in the Champions League qualifying round, and successfully advanced to the Champions League group stage.

This is also the first time Anderlecht has entered the Champions League in the past five years.

Anderlecht's lineup strength has not changed much this season, and the newly acquired players have no outstanding players, basically retaining the original team from last season.

Although the overall strength in the Champions League is mediocre, it is not a generation with big belly.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, they were able to draw [-]-[-] at San Siro, the most popular AC Milan in this group, which is a good proof!

That's why Pellegrini was so cautious before the game!
Li, who had just made a splash in La Liga three days ago, completed the first four-hit of his career, and created the fastest hat-trick and youngest four-hit record in La Liga, still failed to get the chance to start tonight.

But we believe that the Chilean engineer will replace him in the second half, after all, he is in a hot state! "

The commentators on both sides were very cautious and also mentioned Li Chuanqi at the same time.

"Tick!..."

At 45:[-], with the whistle of the referee, the game started on time.

Anderlecht, who played at home, quickly launched an attack, and Malaga responded calmly.

The game fell into a stalemate and a stalemate from the very beginning.

It wasn't until the No. 12 minute of the first half that the first shot appeared on the field-Anderlecht winger M. Bruno cut in from the side, rubbed a shot from the corner of the penalty area, and the football went above the goal.

After 5 minutes, Malaga returned the favor. Joaquin made a breakthrough from the wing and made a pass from the bottom.
Anderlecht goalkeeper Proto bravely saved the football to the bottom line!
This annoyed Saviola.

As time went by, the stronger Malaga gradually gained the upper hand, frequently creating troubles for Anderlech's back line and threatening Anderlecht's goal.

In the 301st minute of the first half, Malaga launched an attack from the center when the wing attack failed, and played a series of wonderful two-for-one cooperation in front of the opponent's penalty area.

Argentine striker Saviola knocked the football back to midfielder Camacho, and then immediately slanted into the penalty area.

Camacho's family crosses the penalty area diagonally, Saviola hits the ball, and Vasilewski is just a low shot!
The football slides out!

"coax!……"

There was a huge exclamation at the Van den Stock Stadium. The home fans felt blessed by the goddess of luck, and the Malaga fans sighed.

In the No.40 second minute of the first half, Anderlecht also created a good chance to score. The midfielder Mbokani made a diagonal pass, and the football passed through the gap between the two Malaga defenders.

Center Kanu flew in and shot low in the penalty area.

It's a pity that this shot missed the goal!

The two sides did not play conservatively at all, frequently threatening the opponent's defense, but the defense of both sides withstood the pressure and did not make too many mistakes to give the opponent a chance to score.

"plum!"

"plum!"

"plum!"

It is not known who took the lead, but there were shouts from the stands where the Malaga fans gathered.

This made Pellegrini, who was standing in the command area, look ugly. Damn it, we still have a certain advantage in the scene. Are you so impatient?

Li Chuanqi, who was sitting on the bench, was very calm because he knew he could play tonight.

In the end, the two sides shook hands with a score of zero to zero in the first half.

……

Home team locker room.

Anderlecht coach Van den Bloom encouraged the morale of his team: "Although we are slightly inferior in strength, we also created scoring opportunities!

This shows that their defense line is not indestructible! "

Visiting team locker room.

Pellegrini exclaimed: "Tonight our goal is to take all three points!
Judging from the results presented in the first half, we have a lot of opportunities, so we must strengthen our confidence and we will definitely win this game! "

Just when the coaches of both sides were encouraging the morale of the team, the substitute players of both sides entered the court to practice with the ball.

Li Chuanqi is very serious and actively adjusts his state.

After a 15-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the field. Neither Van den Brom nor Pellegrini made substitutions.

Just 2 minutes into the second half, there was an accident on the field. Malaga's right winger Eliseu suffered a serious waist injury when he confronted the opponent's defender.

After examination and confirmation by the team doctor, Eliseu could not persist in the game.

The team doctor immediately signaled Pellegrini to make a substitution.

"Who?"

The tactical coach has come to Pellegrini's side.

"plum!"

"plum!"

"plum!"

Pellegrini said with a smile: "Do we have any other options? He was supposed to be replaced in the second half."
