Chapter 397 Pride! 3 more K League 8/14 Urgent monthly ticket
On November 10, 2004, Sporting Gijon will usher in the second round of the Copa del Rey.
Their opponent was the Spanish Football League C 1 team Pontebedela.
For Sporting Gijon, it was obviously good luck to be drawn into the C-League team.
Although Li Ang has determined in his heart that he will not focus too much on the King's Cup this season, it is always a good thing if the team can go as far as possible in the King's Cup and play more games.
Before the intensive schedule in the second half of the season, the Copa del Rey stadium can be used as a training ground to allow some of the team's substitute players to get more game opportunities.
On the morning of this day, at the entrance of the Malaao training base, Li Ang was playing with a puppy. This was a puppy that looked to be only a few months old. It looked very cute.
"His name is Dracula," said Vazquez, the old janitor.
"Vampire?" Li Ang was surprised.
"That's right." The old man was a little proud, "I'm currently reading a book about a vampire count. The name is cool."
"It's indeed good." Li Ang held back his laughter and asked, "Where did this dog, um, Dracula, come from?"
"This is Oscu's twenty-ninth child." Vazquez said proudly.
"Twenty-ninth...?" Li Ang was speechless. He glanced at the old dog lying on the ground basking in the sun and cursed in his heart, are you a breeding dog?!
"Yes, Osgo has three wives and six lovers. This is a big family." Vazquez said.
Li Ang glanced at Osgo, how could he still have countless beauties in his harem with just this fat dog?!
Osgu seemed to feel Li Ang's gaze and glanced at this person with disdain, which seemed to mean: Single!
I have a girlfriend!
Li Ang bent down, pretended to be affectionate, patted the old fat dog's head vigorously, then stood up and clapped his hands, "What a good dog!"
Then he said hello to the old gatekeeper and left.
Osgu, who was attacked on the head, stood up and barked at Li Ang's back.
Vazquez gave the dog a slap on the head and said, "Be honest, Li really likes you!"
***********
After bullying the fat dog with numerous beauties in the harem, Li Ang was in a good mood.
However, during the game that night, Li Ang felt like he was a loser.
Facing the Spanish C1 team Pontebedra, Sporting Gijon had a bad start. Today's starting goalkeeper Roberto was injured and left the field only three minutes into the game. The third goalkeeper Handanovic came on as a substitute.
.
Then, before the end of the first half, substitute forward David Lago was also injured.
Li Ang was furious. If Robert's injury was an accident, then David Lago's injury was caused by the opponent's malicious fight.
Pontebedra knew that it was not as strong as Sporting Gijon, so in today's game, it adopted relatively rough tactics.
Such a team is rare in Spanish football, even in the C-League. Spanish professional teams generally advocate offense and ground coordination. It is rare to see such a team that is good at hand-to-hand combat and has such a style of play.
Rugged' team.
David Lago was injured, so Li Ang could only send in Benzema, forming a striker combination with the biggest youth gap between Benzema and veteran McGuer Pihra.
What depresses Leon the most is that Robert and David Lago were injured. Sixty-five minutes into the game, the score on the field is still zero to zero!
Sporting Gijon, which was able to massacre Real Madrid away from home and win against Deportivo La Coruña and Valencia, was unable to do anything against the C-League team Pontebedra.
This made Li Ang furious. Although he made a wide range of rotations in today's game, the starting eleven on the field, except for center back Pepe and Di Natale, who switched to attacking midfielder today, were all
He is usually a substitute player, but this is not the reason why the team cannot win against a C-League team.
In the end, neither side was able to score a goal, and the score remained zero-0 until the end of overtime, when the two sides entered a penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout, Handanovic saved one of the opponent's penalty kicks, while Sporting Gijon made all five free throws.
In the end, Sporting Gijon defeated its opponent 5-4 in the penalty shootout and advanced to the third round of the Copa del Rey.
***********
After the game, in the home team's locker room at El Molinon Stadium, Leon's roar could be heard clearly even outside the corridor.
"Do you think you are amazing? You can beat Real Madrid, beat Valencia, and be ranked second in the league! When facing a third-division team, you feel like you have everything you need?!"
Li Ang was a little angry, he smelled a hint of arrogance!
Although most of the starters in today's game were substitutes, this illustrates the state of the team: after consecutive wins against traditional giants, the players are a little arrogant. This is not a good sign. Considering the current players of Sporting Gijon
In terms of configuration and game experience, Sporting Gijon really has no reason to be proud.
Originally, they were drawn to a C1 league team like Pontebedra. Sporting Gijon should have been able to advance easily without breaking a sweat, and the team could also get a rest. However, in the end, they were able to advance through a penalty shootout.
, no wonder Li Ang is so angry.
Regarding the difficulty of passing this game, Li Ang believed that this game came in time and sounded a wake-up call for the whole team. Moreover, the players in this game were basically the usual substitutes, while the main players sat on the bench.
On the contrary, watching this game in the stands can allow these people to calm down through this game, recognize themselves, and not forget their original intentions.
***********
Li Ang was very angry. However, the Gijon media was relatively tolerant of the players. They believed that almost all of the team played as substitutes and it was a good thing to advance. Therefore, the local media in Gijon did not comment on the game the next day.
The team made too many criticisms.
Of course, this is mainly because there is more important news and explosive information.
"Post Gijon", which is an absolute mortal enemy of Li Ang, reprinted a report from Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport".
Reports say that Sporting Gijon's young player Juan Carlos has decided to play in Milan. This young midfielder has even expressed his happiness in advance about playing in Milan.
In order to show that their news was accurate, this report also included two photos. This is a picture of Li Ang being interviewed by several reporters in front of his home.
Li Ang left the newspaper on the table and patted the table hard.
Then, he picked up the phone and called assistant coach Scottry, asking Scottry to go to the locker room and call Carlos over... He wanted to find out what was going on in person?
