On the football field, results are the criterion for testing everything.
Victory is the eternal law. After losing 3-2 to Osasuna in the last round of the league, many media criticized Sporting Gijon. Even the local media in Gijon criticized Sporting Gijon for leading 2-0. Being overturned by the opponent under such circumstances also brought a lot of criticism. In the words of the media, as a newly promoted team, Sporting Gijon lost in an away game. However, it is unforgivable to lose after leading by two goals.
Now, just a week later, after Sporting Gijon defeated the famously tough Athletic Bilbao with a 5-0 victory at home, the media immediately changed the direction, and the criticism disappeared. The media also continued to praise Sporting Gijon and Liang in various ways.
This time, even some of the most critical Spanish newspapers praised Sporting Gijon. The Spaniards have high standards for football matches. They want to play well and win, and Sporting Gijon’s five-match Zero's big victory obviously meets this standard. Sporting Gijon's five goals were all wonderful, and the attack was smooth and smooth, which was very enjoyable to watch.
This time, even the Catalan media, which had an old grudge with Li Ang, came out to praise Sporting Gijon. For the first time, reporter Suerte from "World Sports News" praised Sporting Gijon in his report. It is said that Li Ang led this newly promoted team to play beautiful football.
***********
"In Gijon, the Chinese led the newly promoted team to start to improve after experiencing defeats in the first two rounds of the season. They won three of the last four rounds of the league, and against Athletic Bilbao, the Reds The Whites played a pleasing game, but the Basque Lions had nothing to do at the El Molinon Stadium... This newly promoted team was ranked last in the league a month ago. Now, their ranking has risen to ninth in the league. name, and look who is the team behind them? It’s Real Madrid..."
Well, for Catalonia’s mouthpiece to praise Liang, apart from Sporting Gijon’s recent results indeed being relatively good and this game being a beautiful game, the most important reason is that Sporting Gijon’s current six-round league match After all, with three wins and three losses, and nine points, their ranking is actually still above Barcelona's mortal enemy Real Madrid!
Seeing Real Madrid languishing and being suppressed by Sporting Gijon, a newly promoted team, is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Barcelona people. This is also the reason why the Catalan media began to praise Gijon and Liang. After all, Liang There is no big feud with the Barcelona people, and Leon and Real Madrid have deep grievances. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, now, many fans in Barcelona actually have a good impression of Leon after paying attention to Sporting Gijon: For Barcelona people, anyone who can defeat Real Madrid, cause trouble for Real Madrid, and make Real Madrid lose face is a good partner.
The Catalan media is praising Leon and Sporting Gijon for some reason, but what about the Madrid media?!
The media in Madrid no longer care to talk about Sporting Gijon.
Because Real Madrid is in big trouble right now.
***********
In the first round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca hard on the road.
In the second round of the league, Real Madrid defeated newly promoted Numancia 1-0 at home.
It was difficult to win both games, both were by one goal, and the opponents were very weak, which aroused criticism from the Madrid media.
Then, after being criticized by the Madrid media, in the third round of the league, Real Madrid lost to Espanyol 0-1 away from home!
This defeat caused the Madrid media to criticize Real Madrid coach Rosenborg.
The media's scolding seemed to have an effect. In the fourth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 1-0 at home.
After four rounds of the league, Real Madrid has three wins and one loss, which is actually not that bad. However, the media still does not let Real Madrid go. What they want to see is that Real Madrid plays well when they win. Obviously,
One to zero in three games will not satisfy Real Madrid fans.
"We want beautiful football!" This was the headline of "Marca" after Real Madrid beat Osasuna with a goal in the fourth round of the league.
Real Madrid president Florentino also put pressure on head coach Rosenborg and asked the Brazilian head coach to listen to the voices of the fans.
***********
The beautiful football did not come, and defeat came again.
In the fifth round of the league, Real Madrid lost to Athletic Bilbao 1-2 in an away game!
That's right, it's Athletic Bilbao who were beaten 5-0 by Sporting Gijon in this league round!
Then, in the sixth round of the league, Real Madrid lost 0-1 at home to Deportivo La Coruna in a strong dialogue!
In this way, after six rounds of games, Real Madrid's record was three wins and three losses, which was actually the same as Sporting Gijon's. Moreover, what was most unacceptable to the Madrid people was that Sporting Gijon actually defeated Sporting Gijon by virtue of their goal difference.
Real Madrid, ranked above Real Madrid!
Therefore, after the sixth round of the league, the front page title of "Marca" was the league standings. It clearly showed that Sporting Gijon ranked ninth in the league, and below it was Real Madrid who ranked tenth!
Then, there was a huge title: "Shame!"
Obviously, after the sixth round of the league, the ranking of the super giant Real Madrid is actually behind a newly promoted team. What's more, this newly promoted team still has an old grudge that humiliated Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey last season. This is unacceptable to the Madrid people.
Yeah, they think it's a shame!
***********
In addition, what depresses the Madrid media is that Real Madrid is now facing a central defender crisis. Pavin's performance, supported by Florentino, is average, even bad. Pavin has even become a torn by the opponent team here.
Opening loopholes in Real Madrid's defense, and all of this seems to have something to do with Li Ang. In the King's Cup final last season, Li Ang criticized Florentino's Zidane + Pavin policy, and used Pavin as his opponent during the game.
Breakthrough, defeating Real Madrid, which seems to have inspired Real Madrid's opponents this season. Many teams attacked Pavin, which put this young man under great psychological pressure and began to make mistakes again and again!
Not to mention, Pavin is no longer useful. For the sake of face, Florentino still supports Pavin. However, at Sporting Gijon, Florentino kicked him out and spent a year in the Qatar League.
After that, Real Madrid's old captain Hierro, who was invited back by Li Ang, actually succeeded in regaining his second youth in Sporting Gijon and performed well. He led Sporting Gijon's defense line composed of the young Brazilian-Portuguese boy Pepe.
, although it cannot be said to be outstanding, but it is indeed making continuous progress, which is eye-catching.
"Marca" also began to criticize Florentino, saying that the original decision to let go of the old captain Hierro was questionable, blah blah, anyway, it was just a criticism meeting.
At this time, "Marca" has obviously long forgotten that Hierro's form declined in Real Madrid's last season, and their jubilation there was the accomplice and mouthpiece of Real Madrid's final expulsion of Hierro.
Now, "Marca" and other Madrid media have begun to speak well of their old captain again, saying that if Hierro was still at Real Madrid...
In these comments and reports from the Madrid media, it seems that if Hierro is still at Real Madrid and the old captain is in charge, Real Madrid's current situation will not be so bad... And just over a year ago, their reports
Yes, it was precisely Hierro's serious decline in form that dragged down Real Madrid's performance.
At this time, the Catalan media did not forget to add insult to injury, saying that Real Madrid was cold-blooded and treated veterans mercilessly, and now they are being punished. In short, it is all kinds of blah blah. But they have forgotten that their old captain Guardio
La also left the team sadly.
***********
Li Ang sneered at this. At first, he agreed with Florentino and followed behind Hierro, shouting and killing him. It was these media who wanted to expel and purge the veteran. Now they have started to say such things again. It is really unscrupulous.
After training one day, Li Ang chatted with captain Hierro and jokingly mentioned the Madrid media's current call and praise for Hierro. The former Real Madrid captain sneered in response. After more than 20 years of experience,
Hierro, who has been used to ups and downs in his career, is well aware of the media's attitude and doesn't pay attention to it at all.
"Now I just want to play well here and spend the last time of my career." Hierro said to Li Ang.
Li Ang smiled and was very satisfied with Hierro's statement. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Although Hierro's condition is not as good as before, his experience is the most valuable asset.
Li Ang is in a happy mood. The reason is simple. The team has begun to get on the right track. Of course, seeing that his team is ahead of Real Madrid in the standings is also an important reason.
That is the super-rich Real Madrid with the seven kings of Raul, Ronaldo, Owen, Zidane, Figo, Roberto Carlos, and Casillas!
On this day, in September 2004, the results of the selection of La Liga's best coach of the month came out.
PS: There is a big bug in the book. When Sporting Gijon was in the Spanish Second Division last season, the head coach of Real Madrid was supposed to be the Portuguese Queiroz, and Rosenborg was the head coach of Real Madrid this season. Xiaoqi Lane
Wrong, it was written as Rosenborg. There is no way to change it now. Therefore, respecting history, the Real Madrid coach this season will still be Rosenborg. I apologize to everyone and everyone will forgive me.
