After the start of the second half, Sporting Gijon quickly chose a defensive counterattack tactic. With a two-goal lead, this was a very pragmatic tactic.
Real Madrid didn't have many ways to defend against Sporting Gijon, and quickly fell into a quagmire in the second half of the game.
Defense, turnovers, steals, overturns - these are almost all the keywords of the game in these ten minutes. Real Madrid's number of shots increased twice after the start of the second half, one from Figo's long shot and one from Carlos.
Raul's header from the bottom pass was too high, but failed to threaten Sporting Gijon's goal.
Ronaldo had just received a pass from Beckham in the frontcourt and was about to start, when he was hit by someone from the side. As he staggered, the person kicked the football away.
"Foul!" Real Madrid fans shouted.
The referee kept his whistle in his mouth and did not blow it in the end: there was no foul.
Huh?!
Li Ang let out a sigh on the coaching bench, and the referee's penalty actually returned to normal standards.
*************
"Ronaldo was completely restricted today." The camera showed a close-up of Ronaldo. The Brazilian was very quiet in today's game. For the 'alien', Li Ang arranged for the players to implement very tough defensive tactics, which made the Brazilian who was afraid of injury look a little bit
Apathetic.
In the 61st minute of the game, there was a fierce confrontation between the full backs of the two teams. Roberto Carlos knocked down Sporting Gijon's right back Dorado in a sliding tackle to grab the ball.
The referee Malenko understood clearly this time and gave the Brazilian left back a yellow card.
However, this could not appease Li Ang's anger, because Dorado was injured, and team doctor Marotta made a substitution gesture to Li Ang after entering the field for inspection.
Li Ang looked gloomy and asked Ivanovic to get up quickly to warm up. Two minutes later, Sporting Gijon completed the substitution. Young Serbian and Montenegrin defender Ivanovic came on as a substitute, replacing the injured Dorado.
"What a big loss!" Li Ang said bitterly on the sidelines. Even though this game was able to defeat the powerful Real Madrid away from home, the team injured two players in one game. This is not good for Gijon, which has a thin lineup.
In terms of competition, it is definitely a big blow.
*************
Both head coaches wanted to control the midfield. Real Madrid's midfield stars needed a stage to perform in the midfield, while Sporting Gijon focused on defending the midfield, so the midfield became the most intense zone of the war.
In the absence of Guti, Real Madrid suffered somewhat in the midfield confrontation.
Under such circumstances, Real Madrid coach Luxenberg made the first substitution of the game. He replaced Beckham with Arbeloa.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes on the sidelines. He didn't understand Rosenborg's substitution. In Li Ang's view, there is no doubt that Beckham's pass will be a major weapon for Real Madrid, especially Beckham's full moon.
The unique skill of the knife, once the opportunity to set the ball is obtained, this will be a relatively good scoring opportunity for Real Madrid.
However, Rosenborg replaced Beckham.
"Abeloa, 21 years old, this is his first appearance in the Real Madrid first team." Banderas said in Li Ang's ear.
Li Ang nodded. He was observing how Real Madrid's formation and tactics would change after this substitution.
Then, Li Ang noticed that Arbeloa appeared in the team's right back position, and then the original right back Helguera moved forward to assume the important role of the defensive midfielder.
*************
Obviously, when Guti was sent off, Real Madrid only had a 'guest' midfielder like Beckham, who was at a disadvantage in the midfield confrontation. This directly led to Real Madrid's inability to fight in the midfield.
Rosenborg realized the reason for the pressure on Sporting Gijon, so he made such a substitution adjustment.
Li Ang has to admit that Luxenberg's substitution makes some sense, but that's all. Because, for Real Madrid, what they need now is offense and goals, and obviously, El
Guerra cannot significantly help Real Madrid's offense.
The fact was just as Li Ang expected. Afterwards, for most of the game, the football was wandering around the midfield. One moment it appeared at the feet of Sporting Gijon, and the next moment it ran to Real Madrid.
Because the two sides were strangled together in the midfield, the direct result was that the offensive efficiency of both sides was pitifully low.
This is a situation that Li Ang is happy to see. He hopes that Zidane and Figo will get into hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, Li Ang sat on the coaching bench, looking confident, while on the other side, Rosenberg walked out of the coaching bench.
Real Madrid is playing at home and is playing at the Bernabeu. Liang is very satisfied with the current two-goal lead and he is not in a hurry. For Real Madrid coach Luxenberg, the game has gone on for more than 60 minutes and they are still
Before even a goal could be recovered, the pressure on Luxenberg was increasing. He had to win this game. But time was passing.
*************
Rosenberg, who was wearing a navy blue shirt, had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and was waving his arms vigorously to keep the team pressing forward, while at the same time roaring into the field.
The team's offense was at a deadlock, and he was restless. According to Luxenberg's plan, Real Madrid must score at least one goal before 70 minutes of the game, so that they can win the game. However, currently, Real Madrid is far away from scoring.
There is some distance.
Li Ang glanced at Rosenberg. He hoped that Rosenberg's impatience would affect the entire Real Madrid team. If Real Madrid's players were also impatient and attacked desperately, this would be Sporting Gijon's chance to counterattack.
Luxenberg was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, his expression gloomy. Finally, he made up his mind: replace Ronaldo, who has been doing nothing so far in the game!
In the 66th minute of the game, Real Madrid made a substitution. Ronaldo was replaced and Morientes came on as a substitute.
There was a burst of cheers in the stands of the Bernabeu. Many fans of Real Madrid still prefer Morientes. This is a player trained by Real Madrid itself, although the club's senior management actually despises Morientes.
Li Ang looked at Morientes running into the stadium and felt a little emotional. This person is sincere to Real Madrid, but he has been hurt by Real Madrid repeatedly. This situation often happened in Real Madrid games in the past, and the team could not open up the situation.
Morientes was sent in, and Morientes often scored goals to turn the tide. However, this was useless. He was still a fixed choice on the bench.
The media all know that Sporting Gijon tried unsuccessfully to buy Morientes from Real Madrid in the summer, so the camera also gave a close-up of Leon at this time.
Li Ang was sitting in his seat at this time, and he even crossed his legs. He seemed to know that the camera would be pointed at him, and he was deliberately angry with a certain big shot in the VIP box.
He wasn't sure if Florentino would see this scene, but he just did it.
*************
After Morientes came on, Real Madrid's offense did not achieve immediate results. Instead, Sporting Gijon counterattacked. Di Natale passed the ball to the wing, and Ribery flexibly and brilliantly passed Aveiro.
Ya, then cut inside and shot, but Casillas saved the ball from the bottom line.
Sporting Gijon receives a corner kick.
"Abeloa is no match for Ribery," Scoteri said to Leon.
Li Ang nodded. Although they are about the same age and Arbeloa is a product of Real Madrid's youth training and is from a well-known family, Ribery, who was born as an amateur player, can indeed defeat Arbeloa.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Li Ang's mouth. Rosenborg replaced Arbeloa. This will be a big failure. Ribery will only be more active.
Albertini was Sporting Gijon's number one choice for set kicks. He held the football and placed it in the corner flag area, then stepped back and leaned against the billboard, with the Real Madrid fan stands behind him.
"Milanese, you will slip."
"Old Italian guy, look here, look here!"
The Real Madrid fans shouted this, trying to stimulate Albertini with words. The Italian veteran, who had experienced countless big scenes, looked calm and looked straight into the penalty area with his deep eyes, observing the position of his teammates.
*************
Ivanovic stayed near the center circle to prevent Real Madrid from counterattacking, but he soon heard Leon shouting from the sidelines: "Ivan, what are you doing in the midfield? Go up! Go up front!! Come on!"
Go to the door!"
Ivanovic is tall, with a height of 188cm. Although after coming to Sporting Gijon, he has not contributed goals to Sporting Gijon due to relatively few appearances and other reasons. However, in Li Ang's impression, this Serbian and Montenegro
The defender's header is a masterpiece.
Ivanovic was stunned at first, looked at the head coach, and saw Li Ang waving his arms to signal him to come forward. He was happy and immediately ran to the door of Real Madrid obediently. When he saw Ivanovic's
With this move, Juan Carlos consciously retreated to near the center circle to protect his own half.
Albertini, who was already preparing to take the set kick, noticed this situation. He bent down, picked up the football, rolled up the jersey and wiped it, then slowly put it back again, delaying for a while to wait for Ivanovi.
Come up strangely.
*************
Seeing the tall Ivanovic running to the goal, Casillas immediately became nervous.
He looked at the Sporting Gijon players in front of the goal. There were Diego Milito, Pepe, and Grosso, who was 191cm tall. Now here comes Ivanovic, who is tall and tall.
Casillas was a little panicked. He had just arranged for his teammates to mark the Sporting Gijon players. Just as he made arrangements, Ivanovic ran up again, which caught him off guard.
"Watch him! Watch him! Don't let him jump... Damn it!" Before Casillas could finish his words, the referee's whistle had already sounded. This corner kick delayed some time, and the referee had already
I was impatient. This actually did Sporting Gijon a big favor and caught Real Madrid off guard.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Albertini kicked the ball out. He was very experienced and knew that Ivanovic suddenly ran up, which would catch Real Madrid off guard and give Real Madrid no time to organize their defense.
.
As Albertini expected, he quickly took the corner kick, which created a fatal gap for Real Madrid's corner kick defense.
Ivanovic suddenly rushed forward, catching Real Madrid off guard. However, he was still being defended in the penalty area. Who was this person? It was Roberto Carlos!
This was because Carlos and Ivanovic were facing each other. When he saw Ivanovic running up, he followed him subconsciously.
In a high-altitude ball, Roberto Carlos, who is 168cm tall, defends Ivanovic, who is 188cm tall. What will be the result?
Ivanovic jumped up high. He jumped so high that after jumping up, his waist had already reached Carlos' neck!
Then, in the air, the Serbian and Montenegrin defender made a beautiful header towards the goal!
Casillas was helpless against the close shot. He watched helplessly as the football flew into the goal!
*************
"Goooooooooooooooooooooool!"
"Braniskov Ivanovic! This is his first goal for Sporting Gijon! A defender who is only twenty years old! His first goal was scored at the Bernabeu,
This is nothing short of wonderful!”
"Ivanovic! This is the third time he has come on as a substitute this season. He scored a goal just after coming off the bench. Such a scoring efficiency makes even forwards ashamed! Beautiful header... very, very beautiful head shake.
Attack the goal!"
"A magical substitution. Although this was a passive substitution due to an injury to a player, we just noticed that Coach Li Ang suddenly asked Ivanovic to come up and participate in the corner kick attack, and then he scored. Coach Li Ang's
The magic reappears! Ivanovic, the Serbian black man, made great achievements when he came on the field, the magical Serbian black man! The magical Chinese coach!"
Huge cheers rang out in bars large and small in Gijon, far in the north of the Iberian Peninsula.
"Well done!"
“Amazing Cyborg!”
"Lee, you are the best!"
At this time at the Bernabeu, the Real Madrid fans were temporarily silent, while the Sporting Gijon fans were once again ignited with passion by this goal.
"Gijon -" fan leader Xavi Gradro shouted in the stands.
His brothers followed up with a loud shout: "—King of the North!"
This is a tsunami, this is an earthquake, this is a volcanic eruption. At this moment, the noble Bernabeu is occupied by this group of hillbillies from Gijon! There are only more than 2,000 Sporting Gijon fans, and the huge Bernabeu is only filled with their roars
Voice!
This goal came suddenly. Li Ang asked Ivanovic to go up and participate in the attack. It was also a whim. He did not have high expectations at all, and the result surprised Li Ang. When the football rushed into the net,
He jumped up suddenly, turned around in the air, and after landing, he vigorously raised his arms.
"Good job!" he yelled the phrase through gritted teeth. "What a fucking good job!"
