"Two to zero! Sporting Gijon scored again! They are now two goals ahead of Barcelona!"
"It's incredible. Barcelona besieged Sporting Gijon but never managed to score. Another counterattack by Sporting Gijon succeeded!"
"This is speed! This is efficiency!"
"Barcelona is really facing a dilemma now! Sporting Gijon, who are leading by two goals, can defend and counterattack with more peace of mind!"
"Long live!"
"Milito! He's the best!"
The fans of Sporting Gijon cheered and celebrated with excitement. They were able to lead Barcelona by two goals in the away game. Looking at this situation, Sporting Gijon is very hopeful to win the game! They previously won against Real Madrid in the away game. If they can win against Barcelona in the away game again,
This season they have defeated the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row! What a feat this is?!
This is happiness that fans of Sporting Gijon, who were still in the Spanish Second Division last season, could never have imagined!
***********
"Diego Milito! The Argentinian scored again, he scored twice... We extended the lead to two goals!" The commentator in Gijon was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
"We were unable to score, and the Gijon gave us another fatal blow at this time... This is too cruel for the Barcelona players who have been looking for goals..." Catalonia's commentary
The member said angrily and frustratedly.
In the president's box at Camp Nou, Barcelona president Joan Laporta had a very ugly expression on his face. Barcelona actually fell behind 2-0, which made him very embarrassed.
Moji, who was sitting next to him, stared at the field, then leaned back on the chair, his eyes shining, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the Barcelona coaching bench, Rijkaard's expression was quite solemn. He knew that for Barcelona, the situation he least wanted to see happened, and Barcelona was facing a dilemma.
Over there at Sporting Gijon's coaching bench.
"Well done! Well done!" Li Ang roared happily. Apart from this, no other sound came out of his mouth. This goal made him extremely excited.
Such an unscrupulous celebration is somewhat unfriendly and does not fit in with his label as an 'old friend of Barcelona'. However, he does not consider himself to be an 'old friend of Barcelona'.
As for Barcelona being angry? He doesn't care about the feelings of the Barcelona people not far away and the Barcelona fans in front of the TV.
When you should be proud, you should revel and celebrate to your heart's content. Why should you care about other people's moods?
The tactical intentions he laid out during the halftime break were all achieved. In the most difficult fifteen minutes after the start of the second half, they held on, and then used a counterattack to score another goal, expanding the score to 2-0.
!
If Li Ang still had reservations about winning the game when it was one to zero, now he has confidence in his heart. Victory in this game is right in front of him!
***********
Rijkaard stood up from his seat with a very ugly expression on his face. Sporting Gijon's difficulty was beyond his expectation.
In fact, Rijkaard has already paid more attention to Sporting Gijon and did not despise it because it is just a newly promoted team. Even in the face of the "showing weakness" illusion created by Li Ang before the game, Rijkaard
De still maintained a trace of sobriety.
However, at this moment, Rijkaard felt deeply that he still underestimated this opponent.
Li Ang's Sporting Gijon's defense is almost watertight. Such a pressing defense of the whole team requires the whole team to strictly implement the strategic intentions of the head coach. Everyone is twisted into a rope and can defend for more than an hour.
Intensity, this is not easy, many teams cannot do it.
On offense, the sharp speed and efficiency of the counterattack shown by Sporting Gijon are even more shocking.
Rijkaard would not naively believe that Sporting Gijon's two counterattacks were due to luck. This was definitely Sporting Gijon's carefully drilled counterattack routine.
Adjustments must be made.
In the 71st minute of the game, Barcelona requested a substitution.
The team's Mexican defenseman Marquez was replaced, and 20-year-old young player Iniesta came on as a substitute.
Replace Max, the only defensive barrier in the midfield, with an offensive player. Barcelona is about to give it a try!
***********
Barcelona's substitution aroused Leon's idea. He looked at Iniesta running onto the court, thoughtfully.
"Young Iniesta." Liang muttered to himself. Before his 'rebirth', it was 2016. At that time, Barcelona was undergoing a renewal, Puyol retired, and Xavi also left. The 32-year-old Iniesta
Stadu is already the captain of Barcelona. Now Iniesta still looks immature.
"Barcelona is going to attack desperately." Banderas said to Liang.
Li Ang nodded, Barcelona was going to go all out and removed Marquez. There was almost no real defensive player in Barcelona's midfield. Barcelona was going to attack at all costs.
Li Ang is not afraid of opponents' attacks. In fact, he welcomes Barcelona's desperate attempts with both hands.
Barcelona's more adventurous offense may be closer to scoring, but at the same time, Barcelona will have more loopholes after pressing forward.
More importantly, Marquez's departure also means that Barcelona's defensive power in the midfield has been extremely weakened. Previously, during Sporting Gijon's counterattack, Barcelona and Marquez formed the first line of defense in the midfield. Now, this line is not
The not-so-stable defense line is gone, which means that once Sporting Gijon gets an offensive opportunity, it will be easier to penetrate into the heart of Barcelona!
With Iniesta's appearance, this young man has injected vitality into Barcelona.
After Deco's breakthrough on the right wing was blocked, he passed the ball across the ball. After Iniesta and Xavi made a breakthrough like hitting the wall, they began to break through with the ball.
***********
"Iniesta is still dribbling the ball, which is not wise. He looks like he is going to be surrounded by Sporting Gijon's defense," Gonzalez said.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes. He thought of a scene. It was during the 2012 European Cup. Iniesta dribbled the ball alone, attracting the attention of as many as five Italian defensive players, and then sent a beautiful
Through ball. After the game, Iniesta was alone and surrounded by five defensive players. However, this photo with a calm and confident expression on his face was widely circulated.
Barcelona wanted to use Iniesta's personal skills and abundant physical strength to attract Sporting Gijon's defense and create opportunities for Ronaldinho, Deco and others. Leon immediately saw Rijkaard's
This substitution intention.
as expected.
Iniesta firmly controlled the football at his feet, and after attracting the defensive attention of Marcos and Ivanovic, he still had no intention of passing the ball and continued to dribble.
Under the pressure of Marcos and Ivanovic, the young Barcelona man still skillfully controlled the ball at his feet, which forced Marcos to try to foul. However, Iniesta pulled the ball beautifully and avoided Marcos' tackle.
After seeing Pepe being attracted to him, he suddenly passed the football.
Ronaldinho got the ball, he dunked the ball deftly, avoiding Carlos's grab, and then rubbed the ball before Carlos' second counterattack came.
"Overhead pass!"
When Eto'o came out of the crowd, he didn't wait for the football to hit the ground and turned half-turn to volley.
This is a high-quality half-turn volley shot!
Everyone in Sporting Gijon was shocked by Eto'o's shot. However, fortunately, Sporting Gijon's goalkeeper Valencia was highly focused today and showed a high level of form. He made a beautiful
He made a diving save and saved Eto'o's shot from the baseline with his palm in the air.
***********
"What a risk! Eto'o's shot was saved by Valencia. Barcelona played a beautiful attack. Iniesta's skills with his feet are amazing. Ronaldinho's overhead pass is very imaginative.
Eto'o's subsequent shot was also wonderful, it was Barcelona's most threatening attack in the second half!"
Eto'o, who didn't score a goal, put his head in his hands and was a little annoyed. Milito has already scored two goals today, which is a great stimulus for the proud Cameroonian, how eager he is to score goals.
Barcelona fans applauded from the stands.
After being frustrated for more than an hour, they finally saw Barcelona's beautiful offensive organization.
Rijkaard also applauded on the sidelines and applauded the team's attack. He was very satisfied with Iniesta's performance after coming on the field. The task he gave Iniesta was to use breakthroughs to find and tear apart Sporting Gijon.
She was very satisfied with the young man's first breakthrough after coming on the field.
