After McGure Pihra was injured, Benzema on the bench was extremely excited and nervous.
Although he knew that it was wrong to think this way, McGur Pihra's injury really made him happy, because this child saw his chance to play.
However, he is not sure whether the head coach will send him to play. Although he is the only forward on the bench, it is also possible if head coach Li Ang changes the formation and adds an attacking midfielder. Sporting Gijon is training
Some of them have also practiced the single arrow formation.
Li Ang looked at the bench, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He asked assistant coach Scott Rui to inform Benzema to warm up.
The young Benzema saw Mr. Scotteri walking towards him, and then he heard Mr. Scotteri telling him to warm up. The young Benzema was even stunned for a moment, and then he was patted on the head by Scotteri, "Boy, hurry up.
Click to warm up."
"Yeah, yeah." Benzema almost hurriedly put on the yellow vest and ran to warm up.
***********
About two minutes later, Leon asked Scott Terry to call back Karim Benzema who was warming up.
Now, Sporting Gijon has not completed the substitutions. They are fighting with one less person on the field. They only have Di Natale as a forward. Di Natale's characteristics are more like a shadow forward, so let's give them some different changes.
.
Benzema ran to Li Ang and shouted excitedly: "Coach."
Li Ang, who was paying attention to the situation on the court, turned his head and glanced at Benzema, then pulled him over, pointed at the court and said to him: "I need you to play and use your impact to cause some trouble for the Spanish defense. Do you understand?
?”
Benzema took a deep breath and nodded: "I know how to do it, coach." In fact, did he really understand? His head was still dizzy, and he was afraid that if he said he didn't understand, he would lose the opportunity to play.
"Remember, go and mess up their defense." Li Ang gave Benzema a deep look.
"Okay, coach." The big French boy nodded vigorously, almost beating his chest to assure himself.
When Li Ang saw the child's confident look, he suddenly felt relieved. This was Benzema, who later became a member of the BBC, so he should be able to rest assured.
"Go!" Li Ang slapped Benzema on the back.
At the 75th minute of the game, the fourth official raised a substitution sign on the sidelines, and Sporting Gijon requested a substitution. No. 9 McGure Pich pulled off, and No. 17 Karim Benzema came on.
***********
Benzema ran into the field. This was a set-piece in the frontcourt of Sporting Gijon. The French boy ran into the Espanyol penalty area, preparing to participate in this set-piece attack.
The Spaniard's goal was right under the away team's fans' stands, and he could clearly hear the jeers coming from the stands.
"Hey, little brat! Your mother is calling you home to nurse."
"Boy, come to uncle's arms!"
"Boy, your legs will be broken!"
Benzema seemed to be turning a deaf ear to these and looked very serious.
"You can't tell, but this kid is quite calm," assistant coach Banderas said, and Scott Terry next to him also nodded.
Li Ang curled his lips and said, "Benzema still doesn't understand these Spanish words."
Banderas and Scott Terry were instantly petrified.
Spanish head coach Lotina looked at Sporting Gijon's substitution. He turned to look at his assistant, "This is the French boy." When he got Sporting Gijon's 18-man roster, he also knew it.
There was a 16-year-old French boy on the bench of Sporting Gijon. It was said that this was the first time that boy had been selected for the game squad. However, Lotina did not pay attention at all because he did not think that this big boy would play.
Or in other words, what threat can it bring to his team.
But now, I see that the Chinese head coach has actually been replaced by this big French boy.
***********
"Karim Benzema is a Frenchman who plays as a forward. He is 16 years old. He is a player introduced by Sporting Gijon from French Ligue 1 team Lyon this summer."
Lotina just kept his mouth shut, such a young boy, ha, is the Chinese head coach of Sporting Gijon actually wishful thinking to change the situation with a kid with a big fart?!
Espanyol head coach Lotina turned his head and glanced at Sporting Gijon head coach Li Ang, who was also standing on the sidelines. The Chinese man's face had no expression at all and was very calm.
It stands to reason that Sporting Gijon, playing at home, should be dissatisfied with the current one-to-one score, but Liang seems to be able to keep his composure better than Lotina.
Doesn’t it mean that this Chinese has a very bad temper? Lotina thought to herself.
"Sixteen-year-old Karim Benzema came on as a substitute. First, Argentinian Diego Milito was injured and left the field, and then substitute McGuer Pihra was also injured and replaced. Coach Li Ang
They can only send this sixteen-year-old French boy..." The commentator shook his head when he saw this scene, "Does coach Li Ang plan to rely on this boy to break through the Spanish defense?"
Karim Benzema's appearance was something that many Sporting Gijon fans couldn't understand. They thought that Liang might have given up on the game, otherwise why would he replace such a boy?
However, there was still some applause in the stands. Anyway, this is the French boy's first appearance in Sporting Gijon, so there is always applause.
***********
Subsequently, Sporting Gijon's set kick was taken by Albertini. Benzema tried to fight for the top in the penalty area, but he was firmly suppressed by Spanish center back Lobo, who easily pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Then, Dela Pena's pass was knocked out of the sideline by Carlos. The Spaniard passed the ball from the backcourt, and Sporting Gijon didn't even get a sideline ball from the frontcourt.
"Benzema was completely suppressed by Lobo. The French boy was unable to pose any threat to the Spaniard's goal. I don't understand what coach Li Ang meant by replacing him. Is this to increase the confidence of the opponent's central defender?"
Gonzalez said sarcastically, despite the fact that he often praised Leon and Sporting Gijon in his commentary before, but he is also very vicious when it comes to hurting others.
The camera showed Sporting Gijón head coach Li Ang on the sidelines.
Li Ang's face was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the scene just now.
PS: First update, I went hiking today and I’m so tired. Fatty can’t afford to be hurt. There’s another chapter later. There are quite a lot of heavyweight matches tonight, and I can’t even watch the fight of the century. I’m writing the code.
