"This is Luka Modric's first goal for Sporting Gijon. A very beautiful long-range shot!" Gonzalez shouted, "This is even Modric's first goal after coming on the field.
As soon as he touched the ball, he shot and scored, and coach Li Ang's substitutions had an immediate effect."
The camera panned to the sidelines. Li Ang stood on the sidelines and applauded his players for this wonderful goal.
Assistant coach Scott Rui excitedly shouted in Li Ang's ear: "Li! I really admire your vision, the Croatian boy's ball is so beautiful!"
Li Ang felt a little proud in his heart. Modric and his team were the first team he introduced as a head coach in a real sense. Watching this young boy begin to enter the stage of mainstream European leagues under his command, making progress step by step.
He has a sense of accomplishment.
Banderas said next to Li Ang, "Lee, how did you let Ribery pass the ball? Just now I thought that kid was going to force a shot again."
Li Ang looked at Ribery and Modric who were celebrating with their teammates on the court. He smiled broadly, "I just told him how to become a great player."
Banderas gave Li Ang a thumbs up. He knows how difficult it is to persuade a player who plays very uniquely.
The TV was replaying Modric's wonderful long-range shot. The replay started with Ribery's continuous breakthroughs, then Ribery was about to shoot but suddenly knocked back, and then Modric scored the goal.
!
D'Agostino's excited voice continued: "The previous collaboration between Ribery and Modric, who just came on, the Frenchman's breakthrough was very sharp, his unexpected pass, Modric understood it and took the shot!"
Gonzalez obviously admires Modric's goals. The scorer is always the most eye-catching.
Gonzalez shouted, "Luka Modric! This is his second time coming on as a substitute. He only played for Sporting Gijon for more than ten minutes. Before this, no one knew about this Croatian kid.
No one cares about him, but now please allow me to introduce it to you again - ladies and gentlemen, this is Luka Modric! Coach Leon's new baby from Croatia."
***********
Modric's goal was a big blow to the Olomouc team, which was very energetic after the start of the second half.
Being behind by one goal and falling behind by two goals have completely different effects on the mentality of the laggard.
After the restart, the morale of the Olomouc team seemed to be hit and they were a little panicked. Sporting Gijon took advantage of this opportunity and began to put pressure on the Czech team's goal.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines, staring intently at the court. The score of three to one made him feel more at ease. Now, what he is paying attention to is that with Modric sitting in the midfield, the team can attack offensively.
What kind of performance is there?
The young Modric and the veteran Albertini have similar styles to a certain extent, but they have different players. Albertini is best at midfield dispatching, while Modric is more active in running and covers a lot of areas.
Being bigger, the hardness of the midfield can also be improved a lot.
This was a counterattack by Olomouc. Their midfielder Jerome's stop was slightly larger, but Modric intercepted the ball.
Li Ang nodded on the sidelines, Modric's prediction was good.
After stealing the ball, Modric started to rush forward with the ball. Seeing Modric coming up, Carlos hesitated and chose to stay in the midfield.
When Marcos did not play, Carlos was the most reliable defensive barrier in Sporting Gijon's midfield. He obviously realized this and did not press easily.
After Modric took two steps, he passed the ball directly to Mata.
This was a diagonal pass, and it was not passed to Mata's feet, but was sent ahead of time, which allowed Mata to take advantage of his speed.
Olomouc's left back Berdych rushed up, and he fell directly to the ground and made a sliding tackle.
***********
"Idiot!" Olomouc head coach Pollack cursed on the sidelines. The defensive player easily threw his weight and shoveled. This was a one-shot deal. It was good that it could destroy the opponent's offense. If he couldn't intercept it, then
, which means that the defense on your side has been broken through!
Sure enough, Mata picked up the football lightly and jumped up to avoid Berdych's sliding tackle.
Then, Mata, who was on the ground, directly cut inward laterally, and then made a move to shoot with his left foot.
"Block his shot!" Olomouc goalkeeper Kolinski was shocked and directed the team's defense.
Mata's shot was fake, but he passed the ball!
A ground ball quickly swept towards the door.
Olomouc captain Kletinski did not dare to act rashly and could only use his body to suppress Milito to prevent the Argentinian from charging.
Milito squeezed desperately. Although he did not completely squeeze away his opponent, he still managed to stretch out a leg. However, he was still a little short of reaching the football with his feet.
Di Natale, who was behind, failed to kick the football in time.
The football flew past the goal and headed for the sideline.
Then just when everyone thought the football was about to cross the baseline, Ribery ran up from the left wing. He faced the rolling football, directly raised his right foot, and swept the football back to the goal again.
The Olomouc players were shocked. They had just watched the football slide past the goal in fear. Before they could take a breath, the football actually came back again.
This time, Di Natale showed his characteristics to everyone.
He twisted his waist, dexterously shook off the defender, and reached the front point.
At this time, Di Natale had his back to the goal and it was too late to turn around. Then, everyone saw: the Italian's football talent blossomed at this moment, and he cleverly knocked with his heel!
The football immediately changed direction, jumped up, and flew into the goal!
Olomouc goalkeeper Kolinsky had no time to react to such a shot.
***********
"goooooooooooooooooooooool!" D'Agostino was completely stimulated by this goal. He was so excited that he saw two wonderful goals in less than ten minutes, one more exciting than the other.
"Heel shot! Di Natale! This Italian is extremely resourceful. His clever shot caused the opponent's defense to collapse instantly!" D'Agostino shouted with a fist, "His escape, his heel shot, it's simply
It’s wonderful that Antonio Di Natale, an Italian who is about to turn 27, has shown us the beauty of football!”
Di Natale himself is obviously very satisfied with scoring such an imaginative goal. At the same time, for the Italian who played for Empoli in Serie B last season, this is a UEFA Cup game.
He was excited to score a goal in his first European game.
Di Natale, who was running to celebrate, was chased and intercepted by his teammates. Then he was hugged by his compatriot Grosso and threw him to the ground. Sporting Gijon fans saw the familiar sight again after more than two months.
of stacked arhats celebrating.
"Antonio is really strong." Banderas said with his mouth wide open on the sidelines.
Scott Rui also applauded and nodded in agreement.
Leon smiled. Of course he knew that Di Natale was very strong, and he was no ordinary wall. This Italian, who only started to make a name for himself when he was twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, was a typical example of becoming more and more demonic as he got older.
He believes that Di Natale will score more and more goals in his team. This player is really useful.
Di Natale got up from the ravages of his teammates. The happy Italian came up and hugged Ribery who assisted him. I wonder if he was inspired by Modric just now. Di Natale was also there.
Barry kissed him on the forehead.
Ribery was stunned, and then the French young man shouted angrily at Di Natale, "From now on, if anyone kisses me again, I won't pass the ball!"
This remark caused loud laughter from his teammates.
Ribery glared at Modric again, "Croatian boy, it's all you."
Modric blushed shyly. He couldn't help kissing Ribery just now. Now that he thinks about it, he feels embarrassed.
Four to one!
Di Natale's goal helped Sporting Gijon lead Olomouc by three goals.
In the two-round knockout round, this score can be said to be relatively safe.
***********
With three goals behind, Olomouc head coach Pollack made a desperate move. He immediately used the team's last substitution, replacing the team's defensive midfielder Jerome and replaced him with a center who is 191cm tall.
Bunowski.
Li Ang saw the opponent's substitution and immediately made substitution adjustments.
He replaced Dorado with the young Ivanovic. Dorado's heading ability was weak. He replaced Ivanovic to enhance the team's air defense ability.
At this time, Ivanovic was not the knife-wielding defender who would later roam the wings. In OFK Belgrade, Ivanovic often played as a central defender because of his ability to head the ball.
Li Ang's adjustment was very timely. With Ivanovic and Pepe, these two people were able to contain the tall and tall Bronowski. It was difficult for the Czech center to truly threaten Sporting Gijon's goal.
In the end, Sporting Gijon defeated the Czech Football League team Olomouc 4-1 at home, achieving their first victory in all competitions in the new season and also qualifying the team in the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifying round.
A good foundation was laid.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, El Molinon Stadium was filled with cheers. Li Ang raised his arms and cheered on the sidelines. The first victory of the new season, there is a football reason to celebrate!
***********
Li Ang walked towards Olomouc head coach Pollack. He smiled and shook hands with the other party, praising the other party's outstanding performance. Both parties jointly contributed to a wonderful game. The visiting team's head coach was obviously not in the mood to say anything, and his face was ugly. After shaking hands,
, turned around and left.
Li Ang looked at the angry back of the opponent's head coach and took a deep breath. Before Sporting Gijon lost, he left in such a depressed manner, leaving behind a lonely figure saying goodbye to the victor's triumphant 'playing'. Now, he is losing in a row.
After four games, it feels so good to win! (To be continued.)
