Ronaldinho's goal ignited the enthusiasm of Barcelona fans.
In the stands of Camp Nou, huge cheers came to mind, and cheers of "Barcelona! Barcelona!" echoed throughout Camp Nou.
Although it was only a goal, it gave people hope of equalizing the score. At the most dangerous and critical moment, Barcelona's biggest star stepped forward, which greatly boosted morale.
Gijon people, don't be too happy, this is Camp Nou, we are Barcelona! The powerful Barcelona! We will not tolerate your arrogance!
The Barcelona people didn't celebrate the goal at all. They quickly formed their formation and were ready to kick off again.
Li Ang smelled the danger. This goal suddenly boosted the fighting spirit of the Barcelona people. With about 20 minutes left in the game, with a goal difference, the Barcelona people suddenly saw an equalizer or even a go-ahead score.
hope.
Li Ang originally planned to take advantage of the time when the Barcelona people were celebrating the goal to shout on the sidelines, call the players over to explain a few words, and stabilize the military morale. However, the Barcelona people obviously did not give him this opportunity, and the game had restarted.
*************
On the court, Sporting Gijon's players were obviously affected by the loss and were a little panicked.
The Barcelona people took advantage of this opportunity to put constant pressure on Sporting Gijon's goal.
Iniesta and Ronaldinho seemed to be Barcelona's two offensive starting points, constantly attacking Sporting Gijon's defense, and Deco also became more active.
After Ronaldo's dribbling attracted Sporting Gijon's defense, the football was deftly passed to the feet of Iniesta. The latter's feet were covered with flowers, and he tried to pass the ball to Deco, but he passed it to Deco.
The ball was knocked back, and Xavi, who was following, sent a beautiful through ball. Eto'o stepped in like a cheetah. If Hierro hadn't advanced the defense with his experience, he directly cleared the ball with one kick. Once Eto'o got the ball,
Just face the goal.
Li Ang did not hesitate anymore, he made the first substitution adjustment of the game. He replaced Marcos, who had a yellow card, with Modric.
Marcos has a yellow card on him, and now he is more or less worried in defense. When he was marking Iniesta just now, he was a little hesitant to take action.
In addition, Li Ang replaced Modric with a stronger offensive ability instead of Sastre, who is more defensive. This is an obvious signal that cannot be more obvious - Li Ang wants the team to attack.
Facing Barcelona's strong attack, Liang chose to respond in a more proactive way: his team is not only good at defensive counterattacks! Offensively, Sporting Gijon also has a way.
*************
Three minutes later, Li Ang made his second substitution. This time, he replaced the team's full-back Grosso with the young French forward Benzema.
If everyone understands Li Ang's first substitution, some people can't understand the second substitution - replace a central defender with a forward? In this case, Sporting Gijon will only have three defenders
Okay, how is this going to be played?
In football at this time, few coaches would use the three-center-back style of play. Therefore, Li Ang's substitution left them confused. The only guess was that Sporting Gijon replaced the forward.
Working hard.
However, what puzzles them is why not replace Hierro? The 36-year-old Hierro is obviously unable to run, but Grosso seems to be physically able to continue supporting himself.
This substitution made Rijkaard smile secretly. Although he had not seen through how Sporting Gijon's defense would be distributed after such a substitution, he felt that Li Ang's substitution was a foolish move. Obviously,
The Chinese coach values Hierro too much and chooses to trust the experience of the veteran at this time. But it is obvious that Hierro can no longer run. What is the use of having more experience? Instead, the exhausted Hierro may become Barcelona's
At that point of breakthrough, not to mention Sporting Gijon missing a defender.
"The Chinese are confused." Rijkaard's assistant Tenkat also said.
Rijkaard smiled and nodded.
*************
Grosso was a little uneasy when he came off the field. He thought he was replaced because of his poor performance and dissatisfied the head coach.
In today's game, Grosso rarely provided assists due to his heavy defensive tasks, and his performance was relatively quiet.
However, Grosso did not expect that Li Ang took the initiative to hug him and praised him for a good job today, which made the Italian left-back immediately happy.
The sixteen-year-old Benzema was a little excited. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to play today. After Barcelona pulled a goal back, Benzema thought he had no chance to play today because everyone would think that Sporting Gijon would do this again.
In this case, defense will be strengthened.
Now, he has got a chance to play, which makes Benzema excited. This is against Barcelona, and the boss just told him that the team needs to strengthen its offense and score goals!
Under such circumstances, being sent on the field made the young Benzema feel the trust and expectations of the head coach!
Benzema ran onto the court at a sprinting speed. There was not much time left for him to perform, so he had to cherish every second. Such a peak duel, and the opportunity to play at such a critical moment, the French boy was very excited
Excited, he is eager to make great achievements.
*************
Li Ang's substitution also caused discussion among the commentators.
"Remove a defender and replace it with a forward." D'Agostino said, "Although we still don't know how Sporting Gijon's defense will be adjusted, this substitution by coach Li Ang is a signal.
With only a one-goal lead and Barcelona's furious attack, he did not choose to remain conservative. Instead, he acted extremely aggressive, even risky aggressive!"
"This is a person who makes people feel contradictory. When he is conservative, he can be very conservative, but when he is crazy, he can take shocking risks." Gonzalez also commented.
"The Chinese are so arrogant. They still want to attack at a time like this. Boys from Barcelona, don't be polite. Show him some color and defeat Sporting Gijon. Hierro can no longer run. The impact on him
Defend the area and let the Chinese pay the price for his arrogance! The Chinese are so confused with this substitution! They have to pay the price!" the Catalan commentator said sarcastically and inflammatoryly. At this moment,
Their tone was not at all polite to 'Barcelona's old friends'. Obviously, Li Ang and Sporting Gijon embarrassed Barcelona today and aroused the anger of Barcelona people. They have a feeling that the king of the forest is provoked by small animals.
A feeling of extreme discomfort.
*************
Is Li Ang dizzy?
of course not!
At this moment, he is as calm as an Antarctic iceberg. At this moment, facing Barcelona's strong attack, it will be very difficult for Sporting Gijon to hold on to a goal lead with the team's declining physical fitness!
Moreover, strengthening defense may not only be achieved by adding more defensive players. From another perspective, strengthening offense can, to a large extent, help the team reduce defensive pressure.
Li Ang has a certain degree of confidence in his team's offensive ability. Ribery, Di Natale, Milito, plus Modric and Benzema who just came on, and Albertini in the middle.
Except for Mata who is absent due to injury, the offensive energy that these players from Sporting Gijon can unleash will be terrifying!
As for the three-centre-back style of play, it is rarely used in football nowadays. However, Li Ang has also practiced this tactic in training, and his players will not find it unfamiliar.
If the Barcelona people are afraid of Sporting Gijon's offense, they will slow down the offense and the defensive pressure faced by Sporting Gijon will be reduced.
And if the Barcelona people are arrogant, don't pay attention to Sporting Gijon's offense, and continue to attack across the board unscrupulously, Sporting Gijon will make the Barcelona people suffer a bitter pill!
