Chapter 219 Deceived the World

The knockout round of the Champions League round of [-] started that night.

The Serie A giants Juventus finished [-]-[-] away to the Celtics of the Soviet Super League. The media generally believed that Juventus's complete victory had made the suspense of promotion disappear.

Ligue [-] powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain beat Valencia [-]-[-] away!

This result slapped the media in the face, because three days ago, when Malaga defeated Valencia [-]-[-] in the away game, the media believed that they were staying for the Champions League, but they still lost to Paris Saint-Germain.

Both games were won by the visiting team, and Malaga fans were very happy. They thought this indicated that their team could also take away a victory at the Dragon Stadium.

But that night, they were put in a bad mood by a piece of news.

……

The news that Li Chuanqi was knocked over by his teammates during the training confrontation and got injured quickly spread from Porto to all parts of Europe.

The fastest responders were the three major gambling companies in Europe, who immediately adjusted the odds for the match between Porto and Malaga.

In the morning of the next day, Málaga went to the Dragon Stadium for field adaptation training. After the warm-up training, Li Chuanqi did not conduct tactical training with the team, but performed leg rehabilitation training under the leadership of the assistant coach.

This phenomenon confirmed the news that he was injured yesterday.

So Porto fans are very excited, thinking that their team's certainty of winning tonight has increased a little bit.

Malaga fans left a message on Li Chuanqi's social account, hoping that his injury will not affect the game against Porto.

Li Chuanqi replied to them that he is actively recovering, and there is no problem playing, please rest assured.

On February [-], there was a sudden heavy rain in Porto, and the temperature dropped to [-] degrees!
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Joaquin shook his head and said, "This terrible weather!"

Not knowing what to think, he suddenly laughed.

In the afternoon, at the pre-match press conference, the reporters asked Pellegrini about Li Chuanqi's injury, and the Chilean engineer told them that Li Chuanqi had strained his right leg.

When asked if Li Chuanqi could play tonight, Pellegrini said: "It's hard to say now, it depends on the situation."

He did not say whether it was based on Li Chuanqi's injury or the game situation.

The reporter asked Porto coach Pereira what he thought of Li Chuanqi's injury, and Pereira said: "After the result of the draw came out, we began to study Malaga.

It was found that although this team participated in the Champions League for the first time, they advanced with an unbeaten record, which fully shows that they are a team with strong combat effectiveness.

Lee is Malaga's top scorer with eight goals in just three group games, which is horrific.

If he is out tonight due to injury, it will take some pressure off our defense. "

.........

As night fell in Porto and the lights came on, Malaga took the hotel bus to the Dragon Stadium.

Along the way were fans wearing Porto jerseys, braving the heavy rain and singing Porto's team anthem.

In Europe, for most people, football is a part of life, an essential part.

Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the Dragon Stadium.

Designed by the famous architect Manuel Salgado, the Dragon Stadium was completed in 2003 and can accommodate 50476 spectators.

The design of the stadium is very unique. The entire stadium is made of steel structure, which is natural.

The reason the stadium has "dragon" in its name is because there is a dragon on the crown of the Porto emblem.

Therefore, the stadium also uses "Dragon" as the name of the stadium.

The Dragon Stadium was rated as a UEFA five-star football stadium by UEFA and is considered a venue that can host the UEFA Champions League final.

This is a majestic stadium.

The bus drove into the stadium, and Malaga got out of the bus, and the reporters who had been waiting called for them.

However, no one from Malaga accepted their interview and Pellegrini did not look well.

The reporter believed that this was because Li Chuanqi's injury affected his mood.

……

During the warm-up, the rain was a little lighter, but Li Chuanqi still did not train with the team, and warmed up under the leadership of the assistant coach.

Porto fans are very happy, the media did not lie this time.

10 minutes before the start of the game, the media got the starting lists of both sides. Li Chuanqi was not on the starting list, but he was on the substitute list.

At 45:[-], the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel, waiting to play.

Joaquin whispered to Li Chuanqi behind him: "When they see you, they don't know what expression they will have."

Li Chuanqi said helplessly: "I can't help it. When the team doctor was dealing with him yesterday, the old man told me not only to pretend to be injured, but also to act like it. This is also the first time I have done such a thing."

Joaquin couldn't help laughing.

After seeing Li Chuanqi, the Porto players were surprised and pointed at him.

By this time, they finally understood that Pellegrini and Li Chuanqi were putting on a play for them.

Nima, this smoke bomb... made us all think you were injured, but you started the game alive and kicking?
Li, is it necessary?

Coach, you were deceived by them.

……

In the broadcast booth, the Portuguese national TV commentator is introducing the starting players of both sides: "Fans and friends, in the 2112-13 season, the Champions League quarter-finals, the match between Porto and Malaga is about to begin!
Malaga is participating in the Champions League for the first time, so there is no record of the two teams playing against each other.

Porto lost only one of the eleven home games in the UEFA Champions League knockout round. That game happened in April 2009. Porto lost to Manchester United!
Porto has remained unbeaten in nearly seven encounters with Spanish teams, with three wins and four draws.

The most recent defeat occurred nine years ago, when Porto lost to Real Madrid in October 2003.

Pereira formed a four-three-three attacking formation for Porto tonight, goalkeeper: Ertong; four defenders: Danilo, Otamendi, Mangala, Alex Sandro, three midfielders : Lucho Gonzalez, Fernando, Moutinho, three forwards: Izmailov, Martinez, Varela!

Pellegrini forms a four-two-three formation for Malaga: Caballero; four defenders: Sergio Sanchez, Demichelis, Willigdon, Monreal; double midfielders : Toulalang, Camacho; three midfielders: Joaquin, Isco, Fernandez; single striker: Saviola!

The Malaga teenager, the top scorer in the team, Li failed to enter the starting lineup due to injury..."

As soon as he said this, the assistant hurriedly handed him a piece of paper, and he glanced at it, extremely surprised.

"We just received a new starting lineup, Malaga adjusted the starting lineup, Lee started instead of Fernandez!"

The Porto fans in front of the TV looked confused, didn't they say they were injured?
How did you get into the starting list now?

Could it be that Malaga deliberately staged a play? !
After getting the new starting roster, the journalists on the sidelines also realized that Pellegrini and Li Chuanqi had put on a play for them!

Nima, is this necessary?
The Portuguese reporter kept shaking his head, and then turned his attention to the Porto bench. How should Pereira respond?
