"...After taking over the team, Sporting Gijon achieved five wins and one draw in the league. This is a very crazy performance. Li Ang's performance proved that he is a real genius. [Marshmallow Novel Network www.think.
There are almost all the books I can read. It is more stable and updates faster than other websites. It is full text and has no ads.] Although Sporting Gijon is still ranked 18th in the league, it has already competed with LaLiga behind them.
Ness has widened the gap. It seems that their path to relegation has become wider."
"... Sporting Gijon is unstoppable. Under Li Ang, this team is like a rebirth from Nirvana. The Chinese coach has accomplished something that his predecessor Rashidria could not even imagine. Sporting Gijon is currently the second division of La Liga.
The best team in the league in the past two months!"
"Juan Mata was named the most popular player of the month by Sporting Gijon fans. The young striker who followed Leon from Real Madrid to Sporting Gijon said in an interview that the person he wanted to thank the most was the football player.
The team’s head coach, Li Ang, said that his head coach is very good, and he believes that everyone else in the team will agree with him..."
"There are still nine rounds left before the end of the league. Sporting Gijon is starting to exert its strength. Above him, Messi City and Malaga B Team, who are closest to him, feel that this latecomer is getting closer and closer to them.
No one dares to make a mistake, and no one wants to make a mistake. Once they stop, they will be surpassed by Sporting Gijon, and they will have to directly face the pursuit of Leganes and will be dragged into the cruel relegation zone.
.”
"Judging from Sporting Gijon's current performance, they should have one of the places in La Liga. However, it is a pity that they need to pay off their debt for their poor performance in the first half of the season! The task of Li Ang's team this season is to avoid relegation. If the season ends
After that, they stayed in La Liga. Obviously, this team will be a strong contender for La Liga next season."
The media began to praise Li Ang and Sporting Gijon. Although they are currently only ranked 18th in the league and ranked at the bottom of the standings, in the eyes of many people, the ranking can no longer explain the problem, and they certainly cannot be ranked as one.
Let’s look at Sporting Gijon’s strength as a relegation team.
*************
"The next month will be crucial for Sporting Gijon. They will play against Elche and Leganes in the league, and then face Galacticos in the Copa del Rey final.
Real Madrid, after the Copa del Rey final, Sporting Gijon will face Messi City, which is ranked one ahead of them. These four games are crucial for Sporting Gijon... For Li Ang and his Sporting Gijon team,
The long relegation battle is definitely not over yet, and when the season ends, anything can happen." This is what "Post Gijon" said the day before the 34th round of the league.
Yes, anything can happen...
Li Ang had a gloomy face at this moment, and all he was thinking about was this sentence. Then, with a pale face, he walked straight to the players' corridor...
This is the thirty-fourth round of the league. Sporting Gijon faced Elche away from home. They were leading until the last second of the game. However, at the last moment of the game, Elche took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a header!
This is a true countdown goal!
Elche's midfielder Guadrado's header turned Sporting Gijon's almost three points into one.
In just one second, the referee blew the whistle, and the three-pointer was obtained, but the ball was lost at the last moment.
Li Ang was so angry that he cursed everyone in the locker room bloody.
At that time, all the players were relaxed and ready to hear the referee blow the whistle to end the game. In fact, the referee's whistle was already in his mouth at that time, and he was indeed ready to blow the final whistle, but,
At this time, Elche scored a goal, and the final whistle that the referee should have blown became the goal whistle. (Marshmallow Novel Network Www.MianHuaTang.Cc provides Txt free download)
Li Ang was furious about this conceding goal. He has always emphasized that the team must pay more attention and concentrate. As long as the game is not over, they cannot relax for a moment!
However, this time, the team was fatally relaxed.
When Elche's corner kick was taken, the team's defense seemed a little absent-minded. Maybe they thought that the opponent's attack would end in vain, and then the referee would blow the whistle to end the game, and three points would be enough.
Got it.
However, Elche took advantage of the mental relaxation of Sporting Gijon players and scored this goal!
*************
Back at the hotel where we stayed, the atmosphere of the team was still very depressing.
The next day, the team returned to Gijon from Elche.
On this day, the team did not have a holiday. Li Ang canceled the 'welfare' of at least half a day's rest the next day after each game. This was a punishment for the team's lack of concentration at the last moment of the game.
During the whole day's training, Li Ang kept a straight face, which made the players tremble and work harder in training. Everyone knew that the team's head coach was very angry right now, and no one wanted to get into trouble.
The following morning, the atmosphere at the Maleo training base finally improved.
This is because they received good news.
The match between Sporting Gijon and Elche is the earliest match to be played in this round of La Liga.
One day after this game, other games in the Spanish Second Division began one after another.
Sporting Gijon received good news.
Behind them, Leganes and Tenerife played to a 0-0 draw. The pursuer did not seize the opportunity of Sporting Gijon to lose points. In this case, Sporting Gijon is still seven points ahead of Leganes.
In addition, Messi City, who is ranked ahead of Sporting Gijon, played a 2-2 draw with Cadiz at home. In this case, Messi City still has the same points as Sporting Gijon, but is ranked in front of Sporting Gijon with the advantage of goal difference.
.
In this case, Sporting Gijon lost the ball at the last moment and was equalized by Elche, only getting one point. However, Messi City in front of them and Leganes behind them also tied with their opponents. Sporting Gijon was lucky
The score difference was not narrowed by the pursuers behind, nor was it widened by Messi City in front.
After learning the results of the subsequent games, the Sporting Gijon players finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that they would not be chased from behind and would be pulled away from the front.
However, before the day's training started, Li Ang saw the smiles on the players' faces and scolded them.
*************
"You look very happy." Li Ang said with a smile.
All the players had smiles on their faces. After hearing what the head coach said, some out-of-character players wanted to speak, but their jerseys were pulled by their teammates.
Idiot, you don't understand the meaning behind your words. I didn't hear the sarcasm in the coach's words. This is definitely not a good thing.
As expected, Li Ang's face immediately changed and his expression became gloomy.
"Looking at how happy you are, can you achieve anything?" Li Ang scolded.
"If I were you, at this time, I shouldn't be happy because our opponent's draw was a draw. We should be glad that we escaped. Instead, I would be depressed and uncomfortable, and I would jump up in anger!" Li Ang said coldly.
Some players were puzzled, and some players' expressions changed, perhaps because they thought of something.
"Why do I say that? Why do I say that?" Li Ang snorted, "If we successfully win Elche, what should be the situation in the standings now? Have you ever thought about it?!"
The players were shocked. They really hadn't thought about it. Thinking about it now, calculating the points and rankings in their minds, their expressions changed.
If Sporting Gijon wins Elche, then, as the top-ranked Messi City is tied with its opponent, then Sporting Gijon's ranking will surpass Messi City, and they will be ranked 17th in the league.
!
At the same time, because Leganes behind them was tied by their opponents, Sporting Gijon was able to expand its lead over Leganes to nine points. This is a three-game victory, which is very important for Gijon.
It will be a great benefit for competitive relegation!
However, there are no ifs! The fact is that Sporting Gijon was equalized by Elche in the last second of the game. They lost the three points they had obtained, and also lost the three points that could have opened the gap with the pursuers behind them and surpassed the front.
Great opportunity in Messi City!
The players who were originally very happy because Messi City and Leganes were both tied by their opponents, at this moment, after listening to Li Ang's words and thinking about it again, their happiness immediately disappeared, and all of them jumped away in depression. They
What a missed opportunity!
"Remember one thing!" Li Ang said seriously, "In every game, we must put in our best efforts, keep our spirits up, and don't relax until the game is over! We must do our best, so that when the opportunity comes,
Only then can we enjoy greater joy!”
"Opportunities only come to those who are prepared!" Li Ang finally said.
*************
"decisive battle!"!
This is the headline printed on the front page of the Post de Gijon!
The huge red bold font occupies most of the page, making the word more conspicuous. Just seeing this word will make people's blood boil!
That’s right, it’s the decisive battle!
This does not refer to the match between Sporting Gijon and Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, but in this Segunda División match before the Copa del Rey final.
In the thirty-fifth round of the Spanish Football Second Division in the 2003/2004 season, Sporting Gijon will face Leganes at home!
That's right, it's the same Leganes team that is constantly chasing them behind Sporting Gijon!
Twenty-two teams have been relegated in the Spanish Football Second Division, and the relegation quota is four, which means that the teams ranked 19th to 22nd are relegated.
Sporting Gijon is currently ranked 18th in the league, and Leganes is 19th!
Eighteen players were successfully relegated and 19 players were relegated!
This is a thin line, a world of difference.
Therefore, Sporting Gijon and Leganes are truly mortal enemies for relegation, and the two teams are truly fighting to the death.
Currently in the league standings, Sporting Gijon leads Leganes by seven points. There are still eight rounds of the league. The seven-point advantage seems relatively large. However, because the two teams will compete directly in this game, this is the key.
Where it is: If Sporting Gijon wins against Leganes at home, then Sporting Gijon's points lead over Leganes will expand to ten points. This will be the case when there are still seven rounds of the subsequent league games.
Sporting's lead will be quite large, and there will be no chance for the two sides to face each other again. Leganes will not have the most direct chance of 'six points in and out'; on the contrary, if Sporting Gijon loses at home
Leganes, then the point difference between the latter and Sporting Gijon will be reduced to four points. This is an extremely dangerous point difference!
So, you can see the key to this game!
"Post de Gijon" described this game as a decisive battle, which is not an exaggeration at all.
*************
At the press conference before the match between Sporting Gijon and Leganes, some media were still talking about the last-minute loss of the ball between Sporting Gijon and Elche, and Li Ang did not wait for his players after losing the ball.
Going straight to the players' corridor. They asked Li Ang if he had an argument with the players.
However, Li Ang categorically denied this. No matter how reporters bombarded him, he ignored them. Li Ang talked about the team's current good condition, the team's desire and expectations for victory in the game, etc.
Wait for something like this.
However, a few reporters did not give up and still pursued this issue.
This annoyed Leon.
"I don't understand what you want to express?" Li Ang said with a sneer, "My team has remained undefeated in the last eight league games. With six wins and two draws, there is definitely reason to be proud of ourselves! It's just a draw.
, What is there to say? In the away game in Elche, we got one point, which is a result that satisfies me! Our opponents are ranked higher than us, and their will is strong. This is a team worthy of respect!"
The reporter knew that Li Ang was making excuses. Now everyone in Spain knows that although Sporting Gijon is ranked at the bottom of the league, it absolutely cannot be viewed as a team relegating from the Spanish Second Division. Elche's ranking is just yours.
Four places higher, which is really not that high.
"In addition, what I want to say is that this is our pre-match press conference against Leganes. Sporting Gijon's opponent is Leganes. At this time, you keep asking questions about the last game. This
Is it a lack of necessary respect for Leganes?!" Li Ang asked coldly.
Leganes' head coach Ace Alder snorted coldly when he heard this. Seeing reporters surrounding Li Ang with questions, he had long been unhappy. Did he not take him and Leganes seriously?
:Hey, hey, this is a relegation battle between us and Sporting Gijon!!!
The reporters also felt that the reporters who had been chasing Li Ang and asking about the previous game were a bit excessive. Yes, this relegation battle was the focus.
*************
"Coach Li Ang, what do you think the result of the game against Leganes will be?" This reporter who had been 'making trouble' and seemed to have ulterior motives really 'followed the good' and changed the topic.
Li Ang stared at the young reporter for a long time, and the young man looked at him without flinching.
Li Ang was very annoyed, this question was very tricky.
Leganes is Sporting Gijon's direct relegation opponent. At this time, Li Ang can never say that he has no confidence in the game. This will disappoint the players and fans!
However, if Li Ang declares his confidence in winning the game too strongly and angers his opponents, it will be a relegation battle, which is bound to be brutal. Coupled with other factors, it is likely to make the game more difficult.
Li Ang's personality determines his answer.
In the end, Li Ang dropped a few words and left the press conference.
"Victory is in my hands!"
