Just two minutes after Sporting Gijon made this passive substitution, Espanyol coach Lotina also made a substitution adjustment.
Forward Serrano, who had a mediocre performance in today's game, was replaced, and the team's No. 11 Maxi Rodriguez came on as a substitute.
Li Ang looked at the player who ran into the stadium with an excited face and his eyes flashed.
Maxi Rodriguez.
Li Ang knows this 23-year-old Argentine attacker. To be precise, he became familiar with this player at the World Cup in Germany two years later.
It was the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Germany. The Argentina team faced Mexico, the powerhouse of Central and North America. The two sides played into overtime, and the score was still zero to zero. At the critical moment, who could help the Argentina team get out of the quagmire? God gave a
Unexpected answer: Maxi Rodriguez! Argentina fans never saw much hope before. However, in the 8th minute of the first half of overtime, Maxi passed a long ball on the right side of the penalty area.
He stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed with his left foot. The ball drew a domineering arc and hit the net from the far corner. It was an absolute shock to the world!
Who is Maxi? A fringe figure in the Argentine national team. On the court, although Maxi Rodriguez is still relatively trusted by Argentina coach Pekerman, people still cannot remember that he looks mediocre and even a bit
Ugly players. Argentina fans are after Riquelme, Messi and Tevez, but really no one pays attention to Maxi Rodriguez.
In fact, before that world wave, Li Ang had never paid attention to this Argentine player before his rebirth. It was this world wave that made Maxi Rodriguez become Argentina's hero and became famous all of a sudden.
Li Ang came out of his memories. He took advantage of a dead ball and called the team captain Hierro to the sidelines, "Fernando, be careful about that No. 11."
Hierro was stunned. He didn't see anything special about the player who had just come on as a substitute. However, he still nodded and said he would pay attention.
"Is that Argentinian very good?" Assistant coach Banderas asked.
"I will be more famous in the future." Li Ang said with a smile.
Banderas shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Leon ignored Banderas and stared at the court. Spanish coach Lotina replaced Maxi Rodriguez at this time, obviously to further improve the offense, so he couldn't help but pay attention.
He wanted to see what changes had occurred in the Spaniards.
***********
The Spaniards have changed.
Before that, Dela Pena was the core of their midfield, and the players habitually put the football at Dela Pena's feet, and Dela Pena was guarded by Carlos with almost no chance. However, now,
After Maxi Rodriguez came on the field, Li Ang keenly noticed that the Spaniard's ball rights in the midfield and frontcourt had changed, and Maxi Rodriguez began to take over possession of the ball to a certain extent.
"Dual-core?" Li Ang frowned. Before this, he had not heard that the Spaniards used dual-core tactics.
Not far away, Lotina was also looking at the court nervously. Yes, the Spaniards had not adopted dual-core tactics in the game before, but this does not mean that they would not use them. This is actually one of the Spaniards' tactics.
The alternative is that when de la Pena is restricted, Maxi Rodriguez will take over the ball. However, in the previous three La Liga games, the Spaniard has not encountered any test, and de la Pena has performed well.
, naturally there is no need to adopt any dual-core tactics. After all, this tactic will disperse the offense to a certain extent.
Now, the Spaniard can be said to have been forced by Sporting Gijon to use this 'secret weapon'.
Li Ang was a little worried and hesitant. He didn't know whether he should let Carlos take care of Maxi Rodriguez. However, de la Pena was obviously a dangerous person. If Carlos was killed by Maxi Rodriguez,
With Si taken away, Leon can be sure that De La Pena will immediately become lively. This Spanish star who was as famous as Raul at the time is indeed very talented.
Maxi Rodriguez got the ball in the frontcourt, and when faced with Ribery coming to harass him, he easily got rid of it.
Ribery just defended symbolically. After all, defense is not his specialty.
"Fabio!" Hierro called full-back Grosso's name.
Grosso immediately pounced on Maxi Rodriguez.
At this moment, Tamudo, who had been almost invisible throughout the game, withdrew from the penalty area, and then saw Maxi Rodriguez gently knocking the football to Tamudo.
Then, Tamudo half-turned and swept the football to the side, and Maxi Rodriguez had already crossed over to catch the ball after passing the ball.
"Bumping against the wall!" Gonzalez shouted, "After Rodriguez came on the court, the Spaniard's offensive started."
***********
Dela Pena began to cross in front of the goal, and Carlos followed this person closely. He was very successful in defending this person today. He would not allow this person to make any sudden performance at this time.
The wall-breaking cooperation with Tamudo broke through Sporting Gijon's full-back Grosso. Maxi Rodriguez did not intend to pass the ball, but continued to break in, which changed Sporting Gijon's defense.
Gotta get confused.
Pepe quickly dropped Tamudo and came to cover the defense. Maxi Rodriguez stepped on his bicycle quickly and moved the football towards the baseline. Pepe was not fooled. He just stuck to it and prevented him from getting closer to the inside.
.
Maxi Rodriguez, who had his back turned to Pepe, suddenly knocked the football between Pepe's legs with his heel. Then he turned 180 degrees with Pepe as his axis and slipped away from the bottom line.
Got in!
Pepe was shocked. He knew the consequences of being rushed in by this Argentinian. The panicked Pepe almost subconsciously stretched his foot to hook the ball. Then, Pepe was dumbfounded. He saw the football being knocked by Maxi Rodri.
Gus walked away, and his leg happened to hook Maxi Rodriguez's foot...
You can even imagine what will happen next with your knees.
Pepe felt a chill in her heart.
Maxi Rodriguez screamed and fell to the ground.
Sporting Gijon's goalkeeper Valencia attacked and hugged the football, but he also heard the referee's whistle at the same time.
"Penalty kick!" Barcelona's commentator exclaimed excitedly. The Spaniard, who had been passive throughout the game, began to improve his offense after Maxi Rodriguez came on the field. This time he successfully used a breakthrough to score.
Opportunity.
The Spanish players on the field were equally excited. They rushed to hug Maxi Rodriguez, patted him on the head and beat his chest.
In this game, they were very passive. Everyone knew that this penalty kick was hard-won. They were too excited.
***********
"Well done!" Spanish head coach Lotina pumped his fist excitedly. His substitution adjustment worked. Then, Lotina looked towards the coaching bench next to him, and he saw his
A colleague looked furious, and Lotina grinned: Chinese, you are still young!
Li Ang was indeed furious. He was not angry with Pepe for the foul in the penalty area. He was angry with himself. He was clearly aware of the crisis that Maxi Rodriguez's appearance might bring, but he did not make the decision to make adjustments in time.
Ribery has no defensive ability. If he makes a substitution early and replaces Modric or even directly replaces Marcos, it will form a certain defensive pressure on Maxi Rodriguez. At least the opponent this time
Breakthrough will not be so easy.
"Fuck!" Li Ang cursed.
Pepe tripped Maxi Rodriguez in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick and also showed Pepe a yellow card.
Li Ang looked at this scene with a livid face.
Espanyol forward Tamudo stood at the penalty spot.
"Tamudo's penalty! Shot! The ball went in!!" D'Agostino shouted, "Valencia made the wrong decision!"
"Maybe, maybe, Coach Leon should replace Robert to save this penalty kick." Gonzalez said teasingly, which made D'Agostino also laugh.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Ang to bring on Roberto to save a penalty kick again. Such an attempt can only be done once, not again. Otherwise, it will also harm the main goalkeeper Valencia. In such an anxious game, he cannot be so willful.
Change the goalkeeper. Besides, Roberto just has better penalty saving attributes, but he is not necessarily able to save penalty kicks.
***********
In the 65th minute of the game, the Spaniard equalized the score with Tamudo's penalty kick, one to one!
Tamudo scored a penalty kick, and the Espanyol players on the field were very excited. They hugged each other, and there was only one more arrogant thing to do.
Li Ang looked at the Spaniard, and he turned to look at the visiting team's coaching bench, where Lotina was applauding in celebration.
"What now?" Assistant coach Scott Terry asked.
What else can we do, we can only continue to attack!
In this game, Li Ang was unwilling to accept the result of a draw. Now, he could only attack. However, the Spaniard's offensive also started. Now it depends on who can seize the opportunity first and then score.
However, just five minutes later, Li Ang grinned. He was anxious.
Meguir Pihra is injured.
The referee issued a yellow card to the Spanish player who committed the foul.
The foul was committed by Maxi Loregues. This Argentine young man was very active after coming on the field. He was not only active in attack, but also active in defense. This time, he knocked down McGuire with a big flying tackle.
Pihra.
Team doctor Mr. Lotaro ran onto the field again.
Li Ang looked nervously at the court. He hoped that Lotalo would tell him the good news. However, he was disappointed. He saw Lotalo making a gesture to him, "Substitution gesture!"
"Fuck!" Li Ang cursed bitterly.
He had a headache, Milito was injured, and McGuer Pihra came on as a substitute. Now, McGuer is also injured. Two strikers were injured in one game. What a damn unlucky thing.
Now, the biggest problem is: Li Ang turns to look at the bench, he has no forward to replace!
Benzema?
Li Ang really didn't plan to send Benzema out so early. He was too young, and Benzema's condition in training was very average.
But now, apart from Benzema, he really has no other forward.
