In the 69th minute of the game, Juan Mata made a beautiful breakthrough and made a pass from the bottom. In the penalty area, veteran McGur Pihra scored with a header!
Two to three!
Sporting Gijon pulled a goal back.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines, raised his arms high and vigorously celebrated the goal.
In the stands, Sporting Gijon fans also jumped up and cheered for the goal. For the fans of this Spanish second division team, every goal is enough to make them excited.
This is where they shine in this Copa del Rey final!
It can be said that the vast majority of Sporting Gijon fans have no idea about championships and winning. Due to the strength of their opponents, these fans have a good mentality. Now, the team can play the best on the court.
One goal is enough to make them happy and proud, not to mention that now they have scored again and are only one goal behind Real Madrid.
On the sidelines, Real Madrid coach Luxenberg was furious. He finally got angry, rushed to the sidelines, and roared at the players on the field.
In the chairman's box, Real Madrid chairman Mr. Florentino looked at this scene with a stiff expression. However, the Real Madrid chairman tried his best to maintain his demeanor and expressed his gratitude to Sporting Gijon chairman Manuel Arango for the goal.
Congratulations. The latter was all smiles and did not hide his good mood at all.
"McGur Pihra! For this thirty-five-year-old veteran, this game may be an unforgettable game in his life. He will remember this goal forever! This veteran who has been playing in amateur leagues before
, but now he is standing in the final of the Copa del Rey, facing the powerful Real Madrid, and scored a wonderful header!" Gonzalez was full of praise for McGuer Pihra, "McGur
His heading ability is indeed powerful! I still can’t understand how Coach Li Ang discovered McGuire’s center forward potential!”
Another commentator, D'Agostino, focused his praise on Juan Mata, who provided a wonderful assist for McGuer Pihra. D'Agostino also gave all the praise to Juan Mata.
The 17-year-old: "Meguir Pihra's header is wonderful, but he also wants to thank Juan Mata who passed the ball for him! Juan Mata! Please remember this
Name! The seventeen-year-old boy scored a goal and an assist in today's game! He made Real Madrid feel his threat! In the next few years, he will gradually grow into the object of our more attention! This time
The long-distance run was so exciting! The momentum with which he moved forward and the calmness with which he handled the ball made it hard to believe that he was only seventeen years old! Does Real Madrid now regret giving such a talent to Gijon?!"
D'Agostino's last question seemed to tighten the rope around the necks of Rodriguez, the youth training director of the Chamartin base, and Candelaria, the current head coach of the under-17 A team.
ah……
***********
The commentator was still talking about Sporting Gijon's goal and Mata's beautiful breakthrough assist.
"I believe Real Madrid fans will be familiar with Sporting Gijon's goal just now," Gonzalez said, "because just four years ago, they scored a similar goal in the Champions League!"
Yes, as Gonzalez said, Real Madrid fans have a very familiar feeling with this goal.
In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the 1999-2000 season between Real Madrid and defending Champions League champion Manchester United, Real Madrid star Redondo also performed a classic backheel assist to Raul at Old Trafford.
Goal. Real Madrid also eliminated defending champion Manchester United to advance.
Juan Mata's long-distance attack just now and the action of passing Pavin with his heel were no less exciting than Redondo's original performance.
This also made some Real Madrid fans sigh. The memory of Redondo is once again growing and flooding at this moment... Redondo is one of the best No. 5 organizational players produced by Argentina. His career began with the Argentine Youth Team.
.Moved to La Liga team Tenerife in the 1990-91 season. Under the then coach Argentinian Valdano, he brought this small team into the UEFA Cup. With outstanding performance, he joined Real Madrid with Valdano.
After transferring to Real Madrid in the summer of 1994, he moved deeper and gradually became one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Redondo was nicknamed "Prince". During his time at Real Madrid, he was known for his excellent skills and elegant movements.
His low-key and noble character has won the love of Real Madrid fans and he has become a generation of "Prince of Real Madrid". If his tackling actions can be described as "elegant", Redondo must be the best in the world.
To this day, at the Bernabeu, I still miss this former prince. Especially seeing that although Real Madrid’s midfield is now full of superstars, it always feels messy, and they will miss the former prince even more.
***********
Li Ang stood on the sidelines, observing the reactions of the Real Madrid stars. He was surprised to find that the Real Madrid stars did not seem to care too much about the conceded goal. Of course, it cannot be said that they did not care at all, but they did not show any special signs.
Pay attention to……
Is it extreme confidence in one's own strength?
Do you think it’s impossible for Sporting Gijon to make a comeback?!
Or is it the stubborn pride deep in your bones?!
Li Ang had no time to think about this. He did one thing. He whistled at the court, and then the team captain Miguel Cobas and others looked over. Li Ang made a very concealed gesture.
Miguel Cobas's heart skipped a beat, and he understood the meaning of this gesture: This was an all-out attack!
What does the coach mean? Taking advantage of the fact that a goal has just been scored, he suddenly launches a fierce attack and catches Real Madrid by surprise?!
Li Ang made that move again to emphasize: Yes, attack! Attack! Attack Real Madrid!
After the game restarted, Sporting Gijon suddenly pressed hard, seemingly wanting to continue looking for goals to equalize the score.
The Real Madrid team seemed unprepared for this, and they were suddenly forced to huddle in the backcourt to defend. This shocked the commentators, media reporters, and Real Madrid fans.
Juan Mata is still Sporting Gijon's most active player. He uses his flexible body and excellent ball control skills to try to break through.
Guti was easily passed by Mata, and Beckham ran over to help defend. Seeing that Beckham was mobilized by him, Mata did not force a breakthrough, but cleverly distributed the football to the middle.
Miguel Cobas gets the ball.
When Helguera was mobilized to pounce on Cobas, the latter suddenly divided the football.
Jeffrey rushed up, flicked his ankle, and hoisted the football into the penalty area.
"McGur!" shouted D'Agostino.
McGuir Pihra beat Pavin and once again successfully grabbed a header opportunity.
However, his header this time was relatively straight, and Casillas flew out sideways. He struggled to push this powerful and heavy header over the baseline.
The fans in the stands screamed in surprise. This attack and defense had already shocked the hearts of fans on both sides to beat wildly.
Just one minute and 21 seconds after Sporting Gijon scored, they received another corner kick.
Now every set piece from Sporting Gijon can make Real Madrid people very nervous. Because the 35-year-old veteran named Meguir Pihra who they laughed at before has shown his strong head.
Ball ability: The goal a minute ago is proof!
Although Sporting Gijon does not have a set-piece master like Beckham, they do have a 35-year-old veteran with extraordinary heading ability!
