"Diego Milito! He scored for Sporting Gijon. This was the goal that broke the deadlock. The visiting team, which had always been passive, scored instead!"
Liang and Sporting Gijon players cheered for the goal.
Sporting Gijon fans in the visiting team's stands also shouted excitedly to celebrate the goal. Their team had always been passive, but they did not expect to score first in such difficult circumstances.
Sporting Gijon was in jubilation, but on the home team's bench, Deportivo's head coach Irueta jumped angrily, with a look of annoyance on his face. He really didn't expect Sporting Gijon's counterattack this time.
He actually scored a goal.
It's not that he has no worries about Sporting Gijon's counterattack, but Irueta is more confident. He has some confidence in his team. He believes that if he scores first, the final straw will be his Depor.
Runia...
However, he miscalculated.
He didn't expect Sporting Gijon's first real counterattack opportunity, so he took it!
Sporting Gijon fans in a corner of the stands burst into loud cheers, temporarily suppressing the boos of the home team fans.
Diego Milito, who scored the goal, ran over and hugged Modric, who assisted him. A group of people behind him came up and surrounded them, celebrating the goal excitedly.
***********
Milito's goal gave Sporting Gijon a lead in the score. At the same time, it also had a huge impact on the morale of both sides. Deportivo bombed for more than 20 minutes but did not score. Sporting Gijon's
The second attack, the first truly threatening attack, resulted in a goal. Sporting Gijon's low morale, which had been in a passive situation, was boosted. As for Deportivo La Coruña, the situation was naturally one and the other.
This is indeed a big blow to the morale of the home team. It is no wonder that Irueta lost his composure after seeing the ball lost. At this moment, Irueta's face remained dark.
The previous goal was replayed over and over again on the TV screen, and the commentator was full of praise for Milito's movement and final header: "...his movement got rid of Martin Cesar, Cesar
I didn't follow him at all! Di Natale's movement was also very smart. His forward move pulled other defensive players. When Modric was about to cross, Milito rushed to the goal like a leopard.
I chose to head the ball downwards. This is the most correct way to shoot. It is so beautiful! Of course, Modric's pass is very beautiful! Sporting Gijon's passing quality reflected in this attack, as well as the
Premeditated passing and movement are the key to scoring goals, but Milito's ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is also worthy of praise..."
Since Diego Milito transferred to Sporting Gijon, after experiencing discomfort at the beginning of the league, the Argentinian began to slowly integrate into the team and integrate into Liang's tactics. So far, Milito is the first member of Sporting Gijon.
The top scorer in the game, the Argentinian also began to attract the attention of the Spanish media, who praised him quite a lot.
And Diego Milito has also become a very favorite player among Sporting Gijon fans.
The place where Milito celebrated his goal was just under the visiting team's stand. A group of people shouted "Diego! Diego!" This made the Argentine striker very excited. He liked this feeling. In La Liga, facing Deportivo La Coruna like this
Score goals against a strong team and listen to the fans chanting your name. This is a passion that cannot be achieved when playing in Genoa in Serie B.
***********
After celebrating the goal, the players ran past the front of the coaching bench and returned to their positions, where Li Ang shouted: "Well done! Well done, guys!"
For the players, nothing makes them happier than such praise from the head coach.
Li Ang pulled the team's midfield commander Albertini to his side and quickly ordered: "Pay attention to Deportivo's counterattack and keep an eye on Belleron! The whole team must be more vigilant! If they steal the ball
, just give me a long pass to the two wings, and we will fight their counterattack and try to score another one in the first half! Especially on the left, tell me that Ribery is not active enough and let him pay attention to counterattack opportunities at any time.
.”
Albertini nodded, turned around and ran onto the court, then conveyed the coach's tactical intentions to his teammates.
After listening to the words conveyed by the team vice-president, Ribery subconsciously looked at the sidelines, but saw Li Ang drinking water without looking over. 'Scarface' breathed a sigh of relief, he patted his chest and said to Li Ang
He was able to mess up Deportivo's right wing with great joy, but in the end he made almost no contribution, which made the French young man feel a little ashamed.
After doing all this, Li Ang turned around and walked back to the coaching bench, sat down and drank some water.
"We are ahead, we have to be careful of Deportivo's counterattack." Banderas said to Leon.
Scotteri also nodded with deep understanding. Deportivo's offensive attack is unparalleled in the entire Spanish football world. Even if you look at the European competition, many giants will be deeply afraid of it.
Last season, Deportivo La Coruna slaughtered Serie A giant AC Milan 4-0 at home despite losing 1-4 on the road. This shocked the whole of Europe and can be said to be an important benchmark for Deportivo's strong offensive strength!
"Yes, their attack is very powerful. This is indeed a huge difficulty and challenge." Li Ang tightened the mineral water bottle and nodded, "But, for the team, this is also an opportunity. If we can seize the opportunity, we can win again."
If we fight back once, we will have the upper hand in this game."
In Li Ang's view, a 1-0 lead against a strong opponent like Deportivo cannot be said to be an advantage. A one-goal lead is really insignificant, but what if it is possible to lead by two goals at halftime?
!
At the same time, Li Ang also promptly corrected his mistakes in the tactical deployment before the game. Now, he clearly understands the situation and resolutely plays defensive counterattack.
***********
After losing the ball, Deportivo did launch a crazy counterattack against Sporting Gijon, almost completely abandoning the defense. They were enraged. They had the absolute initiative and could not attack for a long time, but they were succeeded by a sneak attack by their opponent.
This made them very angry.
With Li Ang's special instructions and instructions after the team scored, the entire Sporting Gijon team was already prepared for the difficulties they might face after scoring.
Sporting Gijon performed very calmly. They first set up a defensive position and were not impatient in handling the ball. Modric temporarily sacrificed the offense and concentrated on retreating to help defense. Now his position can be regarded as a defensive midfielder.
With the two defensive midfielders Delic and Marcos, coupled with Albertini's command and dispatch, Sporting Gijon did not panic. Their defense was even better than before the goal.
Li Ang nodded on the coaching bench and defended his opponent's offensive. Very good!
Then, the next step is to fight back.
This Sporting Gijon team does it best.
***********
Chapter 330 World Wave
Deportivo La Coruña bombarded Sporting Gijon's goal again, but they were never able to truly threaten Sporting Gijon's goal.
When a team is determined to defend, it is not easy to break through the dense defense.
"Coward!" Irueta, the head coach of Deportivo La Coruna, was furious on the sidelines. In fact, in La Liga, Irueta is definitely the most famous and qualified head coach at present. He coaches Deportivo La Coruna.
In seven years, he single-handedly created the super Depor that shocked Europe, which made Irueta a world-famous coach. He has his pride. Irueta did not take the newly promoted Sporting Gijon seriously before.
He even didn't take Li Ang, a young Chinese head coach, seriously.
Because of this, Irueta felt even more unhappy when he was successfully attacked by Sporting Gijon.
Now, only scoring goals, equalizing the score as soon as possible, and then overtaking the score can relieve the resentment in the heart of this famous La Liga coach.
It's a pity that, facing Sporting Gijon's intensive defense, the powerful Deportivo had no good solution for a while.
Deportivo is in a hurry!
Li Ang curled his lips. This was a good sign. Although the lion was more threatening when it was furious, it also meant that the chance of making mistakes was greater.
However, Deportivo's offensive immediately surprised Leon.
This was Belleron continuously making passes and cuts with his teammates outside the penalty area, but he did not find a suitable route for the ball. At this time, the talented Spanish international suddenly moved the football and made a very extraordinary move.
After a small gap, shoot directly!
"Beleron! Long shot! Oh oh oh oh!" the commentator exclaimed.
Belleron's long-range shot was very sudden. Although it was not powerful, it was of excellent quality. The football drew a wonderful arc and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Sporting Gijon's goalkeeper Valencia used it very reluctantly.
His fingertips touched the football and lifted it over the crossbar!
"Valencia! He prevented a very good goal!"
Li Ang was so frightened by Belleron's shot that he left his seat. When he saw the football being thrown out, he sat down. His whole back felt chilly. He was so scared.
***********
Corner kick for Deportivo!
Belleron ran to take a corner kick, and their two center backs, Andrade and Martin Cesar, also came up. The center backs are generally good at headers and are important participants in set-piece attacks.
Pandiani and Pepe pulled each other and the referee had to give them a verbal warning.
Belleron takes the corner kick.
Luke headed the ball towards the goal, but due to Hierro's interference, he did not hit the right position, which instead caused chaos in the Sporting Gijon penalty area.
In the chaos, I don’t know who pushed the ball out, but it happened to land at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Mauro Silva is there, and the Sporting Gijon players are only paying attention to the goal, but forget about Mauro Silva outside the penalty area.
Mauro Silva made a decisive judgment that this ball was suitable for a direct volley. He immediately adjusted his body, turned his body to the goal, then used one foot as a support, raised the other leg, and planned to semi-volley!
Albertini was very experienced and hurriedly approached. He did not make any other unnecessary movements, he just leaned in very covertly and put a little pressure on his shoulders.
This immediately caused Belleron to stumble and his feet slipped.
Then, Belleron's swinging calf made contact with the football and completed the shot. However, the quality of the shot could no longer be guaranteed.
The football flew up, without any force, towards the goal.
Such a shot did not pose any threat to the goalkeeper. Valencia attacked and plucked the football from the air.
Afterwards, Valencia ran directly to the edge of the penalty area and threw the football forward vigorously!
The goalkeeper directly throws the ball with great force to initiate a counterattack! This is the most common way of counterattack!
Li Ang suddenly stood up from the coaching bench, leaned forward and looked into the field. This was a good opportunity to counterattack!
***********
Valencia's strong throw threw the football to Modric.
Modric passed the ball to Albertini, and the Italian veteran launched a counterattack.
Albertini immediately passed the ball to Di Natale, who was already running diagonally to the right. At the same time, Modric ran forward along the center. He and Di Natale changed positions, and
Ribery started to accelerate along the left wing.
Deportivo's left back Capdrella rushed towards Di Natale.
The football rolled forward, and Di Natale caught the ball beautifully and controlled it.
At the same time, Capdrella also rushed up.
He fell to the ground and slid!
Di Natale did not dribble the ball forward, but suddenly braked hard, stepped on the football with his right foot, and pulled back!
Capdrera, who had already made a sliding tackle, had no idea that Di Natale would do this. The Spanish international, who was sliding on the turf, almost watched him slide past the football. At that time, Capdrera
Drela really wanted to reach out and push the football out of the sideline.
A beautiful emergency stop, passing Capdrella, Di Natale looked up towards the center.
Modric in the middle ran past.
However, Ribery, who was on the left wing, glanced this way and immediately started running towards the center.
Di Natale's heart moved, he pushed the arch of his foot and sent the football out.
***********
The football is rolling.
Ribery is so fast, he doesn't slow down at all.
Instead, it accelerated again.
Just like when taking a free kick, the last step speeds up again!
Ribery rushed to the football, swung his thick right leg, and then hit the football hard with the outside instep!
Sporting Gijon's counterattack was very fast, with a total of five passes, and then the shot came!
All the people in Deportivo were stunned, watching the football flying in the air!
The football first flew in the direction outside the goal post, and it seemed like it was going to miss the post. However, it suddenly turned in the middle and went straight to the far upper corner of the goal!
"Ribery's long shot——!!"
Deportivo goalkeeper Molina's reaction was very quick. He threw his body as hard as possible and extended his arms as much as possible to reach the ball.
Met a football by myself?!
In the air, Molina felt the football spin on his fingertips, then leave his fingers and continue flying towards the goal!
Deportivo's goalkeeper's body began to fall in the air, but his eyes were still tracking the football. He wanted to see whether the goal was scored or not.
Under his gaze, the football almost stuck to the junction between the goal post and the crossbar, suddenly penetrated into the goal, and knocked the net high into the air.
