When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the entire El Molinon Stadium stood up and applauded, cheering for the players' performance!
Standing up and applauding at the end of the half-time game is a rare occurrence in football matches. When this happens, it only means one thing: the team performed very, very, very well at halftime in an important game!
This was the first round of the promotion play-off semi-finals. Facing Alaves, who were ranked higher than themselves, they led their opponents 3-0 at half-time. More importantly, Sporting Gijon always dominated the game!
This is naturally a very, very, very good performance, and the fans are very, very, very satisfied!
Li Ang stood outside the players' tunnel, high-fiving every player who left the field.
Seeing this scene, it aroused great enthusiasm from the fans, and the cheers were loud.
Sporting Gijon were very satisfied with the first half of the game. For their opponents Alaves, the first half was a nightmare!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, all the fearful Alaves breathed a sigh of relief - at least for the next fifteen minutes, they were safe. They
Don't worry that you may continue to lose the ball at any time.
In the home team's locker room at El Molinon Stadium.
The players of Sporting Gijon were all happy. They played so well in the first half of the game. Sporting Gijon had faced Alaves four times before this season, except for the home game after Li Ang took over the team, which was 3-0.
In addition to defeating their opponents, they lost three other games, including a 0-6 defeat!
As the head coach, Li Ang may not pay much attention to the team's previous defeat to Alaves, because it has nothing to do with him. It is a matter that belongs to the former head coach Rashidria.
However, for the players on the team, except for Marcos and Carlos who were promoted from the B team to the first team after Li Ang came to the team, other players have experienced those humiliations. Even Mata also participated
That was a disastrous defeat at home to Alaves 6-0.
Therefore, the players are also holding fire in their hearts. Now, they are leading Alaves 3-0 at half-time, and they are naturally in a good mood. It can be said that they are elated! It's great!
***********
Li Ang praised the players' outstanding performance in the first half of the game. As long as the players performed well, he would not hesitate to praise him. He is not a serious old antique who only knows how to criticize the players. The players did not perform well.
When he is good, he will curse, but when he performs well, why can't he praise him?!
The team performed well and is in good shape, so there is no need for Li Ang to make any major adjustments.
Regarding the second half of the game, Li Ang only raised a few points, or a few requirements and expectations.
"Tell me about the schedule and time for promotion." Li Ang said with a serious expression, "If we eliminate Alaves, we will reach the promotion play-off finals, which means there are still two games to play. Of course, there are still other games before that.
The second leg of the semi-finals. So, this means that if we want to be promoted to La Liga, including this game, we need to play four games in nine days!"
"After playing for a long season, you are the players who have the hardest time in such a high-intensity game. You can understand how difficult this is better than me," Li Ang said.
Hearing what he said, the players all nodded. They are playing football on the field and are the actual executors of the game. They know this best.
"In the first half of the game, we led Alaves three to zero." Li Ang said, "This provides us with a possibility!"
"If we can establish a huge score advantage in this game, in the first round between us and Alaves, and make the second round away game a mere formality!" Li Ang suddenly raised his voice,
"So what does this mean?!"
The players were all excited and looked at their head coach.
"This means that we may be able to get a better rest than our opponents in the final." Liang said. When he said that he gained a huge advantage in the first round, he did not mean that there would be a large rotation in the second round. Sporting Gijon also
There is no such thickness of the bench, and facing Alaves who may struggle at home, he does not dare to rotate too much. What Li Ang means is that the team has a greater advantage in the first round. In the second round, they themselves have
With confidence, he will not be so nervous mentally, so that he can gain a certain degree of relaxation both physically and mentally. He believes that the players also understand what he means.
The players really understood. Their eyes lit up and they began to imagine this possibility.
Even the most cautious players have to admit that the possibility mentioned by their head coach exists. Alaves has been stunned by them in the first half of the game. If they can continue to play in the second half of the game,
In the state of the half game, if you suppress your opponent, it is really possible to continue to score goals in this game, or even win a big victory... This also means that the head coach said that he will lay the foundation for making the second round easier.
.
***********
"Go! Keep scoring goals in the second half! Use goals to completely destroy your opponents! 4:0, 5:0, 6:0... Does anyone think there are too many goals?"
Of course no one would object to scoring too many goals.
"...The fourth goal is the most critical. If we score the fourth goal as soon as possible in the second half of the game! The Alaves people's fighting spirit will completely collapse...Remember, no matter how many goals we lead, don't be merciful.
!”
"I remember that we were also at home before and lost to Alaves 0-6!" Li Ang decided to add fuel to the fire at the end, "The shame of that game, now you have a chance to wash away this shame!"
"Go! Score! Score more goals! Go and wash away that shame! Don't let me miss any chance to score!" Li Ang pointed at the door of the locker room and shouted, "Go! I
I hope to see our opponents leave this stadium crying and let this stadium become their eternal nightmare! Let their legs weaken when they hear the name of Sporting Gijon!"
Everyone feels hot in their chests now. They have not forgotten the 0-6 humiliation that Alaves caused them! Now, there is such an opportunity to wash away the shame and at the same time let the opponent kneel down and sing "Conquer", their chests are filled with excitement.
The fire of fighting spirit is like having a basin of oil poured on it again!
The flames suddenly soared up to 30,000 feet!
***********
While Li Ang was encouraging the players in the locker room, McCronal was in the locker room encouraging the Alaves players who were stunned by Sporting Gijon.
"... Zero to three is not the end of the world. Don't forget, in this stadium, we defeated them six to zero! The first half of the game was just an accident. As long as you can score goals as early as possible in the second half, the rest of the game will be fine.
beated."
Alaves goalkeeper Pablo opened his mouth, but he actually wanted to ask: "What if there is no goal at the beginning?"
However, he did not put the problem aside in the end. He was also very depressed in the first half, and his opponent scored three goals in the first half of the game. This feeling was really bad.
"The game against Sporting Gijon was a two-leg knockout. Zero to three is really not the end of the world. We scored in the second half and tried our best to equalize the score. Even if we failed to equalize the score, we could get one or two away goals.
The ball is also a good thing!”
Alaves defender Trotta was in a particularly irritable mood. Every time the head coach said zero to three, his anger suddenly rose. After finally calming down, the bald man said again, "zero to three."
Than three'!
Two of the three goals conceded in the first half were related to Trotta. Of course, this cannot be said to be Trotta's responsibility for conceding the goals, but as a central defender, he was indeed beaten! This
The centre-back brings tremendous pressure.
McCarronal, who was talking eloquently, was completely unaware of this situation. He was instilling belief in his players over and over again: Zero to three is not the end of the world! We still have a chance!
Constantly indoctrinating...
Trotta was extremely irritable and really wanted to use a sock to block the mouth of the bald man who was still beeping... He felt like he was going crazy.
