We have reached a consensus with the Porto Club on the transfer of Pepe plus money in exchange for Jeffrey. All that is left is to communicate with the players.
However, Li Ang did not have time to operate for the time being. He asked his assistant Banderas to contact Pepe's agent. He had more important things to do, because the first leg of the promotion play-off final against Getafe was
The game has arrived.
For Li Ang and Sporting Gijon, the most important thing now is to get a spot in La Liga through the promotion play-offs!
On June 27, the European Cup competition in Portugal is in full swing.
On this day, the 2004 European Cup ended its last quarter-final match. The 1996 European Cup runner-up Czech team defeated the 1992 European Cup champion Denmark 3-0 at the Porto Dragon Stadium and became the last team to advance to the semi-finals.
Teams, so far all the top four teams have been produced, namely: Portugal, Netherlands, Greece and Czech Republic; the semi-final matchups are: Portugal vs Netherlands, Greece vs Czech Republic.
For Leon, the most direct impact of the European Cup on the other side of the Iberian Peninsula is that the Czech Republic has entered the semi-finals, because he had previously bought the Czech Republic to enter the semi-finals. In addition, the Greek team actually reached the semi-finals.
It also surprised many people. When Leon bought Greece to win the championship, he was also humored by the local media in Gijon, saying that his vision was not good. Now, in this situation, the local media in Gijon can take the opportunity to hype it up again. It turns out that,
Coach Li Ang’s vision for buying football is really amazing.
For Liang and Sporting Gijon, the importance and difference of this day is that it is the day of their away game against Getafe in the promotion play-off final.
***********
The noise at Alfonso Pérez Stadium was overwhelming.
There was a cacophony of boos, cheers, slogans, and singing.
This game was full of excitement before the game.
First of all, some media revealed the story that Juan Carlos, Sporting Gijon’s popular young midfielder, was an outcast from Getafe.
Such a little guy who was terminated from the Getafe youth team and kicked out was then brought back to Sporting Gijon from the slums by Sporting Gijon coach Li Anghui. He carefully trained and transformed this kid who was originally a central defender.
He became a defensive midfielder and performed better and better.
This matter is very shameful for Li Ang and Sporting Gijon, but for Getafe, it is quite shameless.
Getafe head coach Ace Cedra was constantly asked by the media about Juan Carlos, which made the Getafe head coach extremely annoyed. This is a matter for the youth team coach, and it is not relevant.
It's his fault.
Escedela said angrily that he should go to the youth team training ground to ask the relevant personnel about this matter, not him.
Some reporters actually asked Gonzalo, the head coach of Getafe's youth team. This gentleman's temper was even worse because he had 'lost' the 'treasure' of Carlos in his hands, which made him in the eyes of the club's senior management.
The impression has become very bad. Now the better Juan Carlos performs at Sporting Gijon, the harder Gonzalo's life in Getafe becomes. Now these reporters who have no eyesight actually say, "What's wrong with this?"
Why don't you mention it? It's strange that Gonzalo is not depressed.
In shame and anger, Mr. Gonzalo insisted that he was not wrong. He said that Juan Carlos's skills were poor and his shortcomings were obvious. Although Carlos's current performance seemed to be good, this player's future prospects
Very limited.
The implication is that it makes sense for him to expel Carlos, and he is right.
***********
This aroused Li Ang's anger. His players were humiliated, and the head coach naturally had to step forward to protect him.
Later, in his column in "Voice of Gijon", Li Ang criticized Gonzalo for having no vision, no ability, and for not knowing how to repent of his mistakes.
After Leon's words came out, before Gonzalo came out to refute, Getafe chairman Torres stood up and criticized Leon.
The president finally vowed that it would be his Getafe who could finally get the La Liga promotion spot through the promotion play-offs.
Previously, Torres said in words that among the four teams in the promotion play-offs, Sporting Gijon is the weakest team and a weak team. This is a naked contempt for Sporting Gijon and has aroused Liang's anger.
This time, Li Ang was filled with old and new grudges.
"For some people who speak out loud, the only way to shut them up is to smash their teeth with a big stick!" Li Ang said unceremoniously.
He was then criticized by the Madrid media for disrespecting the 'respected' president of a football club.
Li Ang's response was, see you on the playing field.
***********
Alfonso Perez Stadium.
Li Ang cursed bitterly on the sidelines: "Damn referee, this bastard ruined my game!!"
Banderas is trying to persuade Li Ang to calm down
Another assistant coach, Scott Rui, looked carefully not far away. He was worried that Li Ang's curse would attract the attention of the referee.
In the eleventh minute of the game, Sporting Gijon captain and midfielder Miguel Cobas committed a foul and was sent off with a direct red card by the referee.
Li Ang was furious about this penalty. He believed that the referee on duty was obviously favoring the home team. A yellow card was enough for this foul. What's more, the game had only been played for ten minutes. At this time, the referee was just because of a foul.
It was not a serious foul, but sending off the visiting team's captain was really unbearable for Li Ang.
Anger is anger, Li Ang has nothing to do, he can't lead the team to strike just because of a penalty.
Li Ang gritted his teeth angrily. Since the injured party would immediately think of conspiracy theories, Li Ang had to suspect that Getafe did the referee's job, although he also knew that such a thing was unlikely. This is Spain with strict discipline and more transparency.
Football is not the messy Chinese football.
In the stands, after cheering excitedly, Getafe chairman Mr. Torres also looked at each other with the club's general manager. They did not do the job of refereeing. Getafe is not a big football club and has more qualifications than Sporting Gijon.
How come you are so taken care of by the referee?!
No matter what, since I didn't do anything wrong, there's nothing to be afraid of, just enjoy the care and benefits of the referee.
***********
For Sporting Gijon, the impact of Miguel Cobas being sent off with a red card was extremely bad. This directly affected Sporting Gijon's game. The tactics that Li Ang formulated before the game have now become
Empty words.
Li Ang immediately made substitutions, McGur Pihra was replaced, and Sastre came on as a substitute.
Substitute a forward and bring on a defensive midfielder.
Seeing Li Ang make such substitution adjustments, smart people guessed that Li Ang had to defend in the away game when the team was sent off one man early.
That's right, it's not just defense, it's defense.
The players of Sporting Gijon all participated in the defense. They gathered heavy troops in the midfield and backfield, and it can even be said that they blocked the front of their penalty area tightly.
Sporting Gijon's offense is to move forward with only two or three players, mainly using Juan Mata's speed to counterattack. If it can pose a threat, that's okay. If it can't pose a threat, it won't be because of the team.
Pressed hard, but Getafe counterattacked.
Sporting Gijon had one less player on the field, and he was the core of the opponent's midfield. This made the Getafe players excited. They saw the hope of winning, or more directly, winning by a big score. Getafe tried every means to get it.
Looking for weaknesses in Sporting Gijon's defense, while Sporting Gijon tried every possible means to destroy Getafe's offense.
***********
Sporting Gijon's united defense paid off. In the first half of the game, the score between the two sides was zero to zero.
This score obviously did not satisfy Getafe, so after the start of the second half, Getafe launched an indiscriminate bombardment at Sporting Gijon's goal.
Leon's heart was suffering every second, and every attack by Getafe made him restless. He was worried about losing the ball.
Now, regarding the game, if he can not concede a goal and get a draw at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, Li Ang will be very satisfied.
It can even be said that Li Ang can accept the result of a small loss by one goal.
An unfair penalty was encountered in the away game, which directly affected the game. This was something no one expected. Li Ang is now gritting his teeth and vowing to regain his place at home.
"The game has been going on for seventy-nine minutes. Getafe has taken 21 shots in the entire game so far, but the goal still hasn't come!" said commentator D'Agostino, "Gijon.
Atlético only had a pitiful four shots, and their entire team was on defense! Coach Li Ang’s goal is not to concede a goal and get a draw, and now, they are still ten minutes away from achieving their goal!”
The camera showed a close-up of the coaching bench on the sidelines. Li Ang stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, saying nothing, but with a serious expression.
Getafe head coach Ace Cedra was pacing the sidelines anxiously, shouting loudly to the court from time to time. The opponent was sent off early in the first half, and the captain of Sporting Gijon was sent off.
and the core of the midfield. This was the perfect signal to win a big victory. However, what he didn't expect was that eighty minutes into the game, the team took the absolute initiative and bombarded Sporting Gijon's goal.
Damn, we still couldn't score a goal.
Escedela is very anxious. With such a good opportunity at home, it would be unforgivable to fail to win.
Escedela kept waving his arms on the sidelines: Attack! Attack! Attack!
ps: Second update. Guaranteed 2.
Asking for a monthly pass.
The debt is being repaid slowly, and I feel ashamed and burst into tears. (To be continued.)
