According to the Spanish Football Association's fine, Sporting Gijon head coach Leon was suspended for three games, coaching staff member Banderas was suspended for two games, main midfielder Carlos was suspended for four games, and main center back Pepe was suspended for two games.
During the game, main midfielder Franck Ribery was suspended for two games.
In addition, Mata is recuperating from injury, Dorado is recuperating from injury, Ivanovic is recuperating from injury, and McGure.
Pihra is recovering from her injuries.
It can be said that Sporting Gijon's lineup was immediately disabled in the starting lineup.
On December 5, in the 14th round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will face Levante away from home. Levante is another dark horse in La Liga this season besides Sporting Gijon. The current points are the same as Real Madrid.
Ranked ninth in the league, with only four points less than Sporting Gijon. Levante, a dark horse, is very different from Sporting Gijon. Levante’s record against strong teams is average, but compared with other teams’
During the game, the results were relatively stable. If we say that in the past, Sporting Gijon was not afraid of Levante at all, and it was not difficult for them to win Levante. However, Sporting Gijon, which is now short of major generals, faced Lewandowski away from home.
Special, but it’s hard to say.
Then, a week later, on December 12, in the 15th round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will welcome Villarreal at home. This small town team nicknamed the "Yellow Submarine" is very difficult to deal with.
Then in the middle of the week, Sporting Gijon will usher in the last game of the UEFA Cup group stage. They will go to the away game to face the Austrian giant Rapid Vienna. Of course, Spain's suspension penalty has nothing to do with the European war. Li Ang can direct this game on the spot.
Sporting Gijon, which has already secured first place in the group in the group stage, can also make appropriate rotations.
Then on the weekend, December 19, in the 16th round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will face Real Sociedad away.
This game will be the last of Li Ang's three games.
Then three days later, Sporting Gijon will welcome Racing Santander at home in the 17th round of La Liga on December 22 in the middle of the week. After this game, La Liga will officially enter the two-week period.
Winter break.
Sporting Gijon, who are missing a major general and whose head coach has been suspended, these games are a hurdle and it will not be easy to get over them smoothly.
Of course, according to some media in Madrid, Li Ang and Sporting Gijon are very lucky, because in the 18th and 19th rounds of the league, Sporting Gijon will meet the two strong teams of Sevilla and Atletico Madrid in succession.
The two games are after the winter break, which gives Sporting Gijon a chance to breathe. At the same time, Sporting Gijon's suspended players will also return, and the team's lineup is relatively neat.
However, for Li Ang, there is no need to consider what will happen after the winter break. The most important thing for him now is how the team can overcome the current difficulties.
Li Ang began to realize one thing, that is, compared to the team's injuries, his own suspension should have the greatest impact on the team. This is not Li Ang's boasting, or that he values himself too much, but it is indeed the case.
In the current Sporting Gijon, no player is truly indispensable, but he, the head coach, is the most important! Head coach Li Ang is the backbone of Sporting Gijon!
When "Voice of Gijon" analyzed the impact of the Spanish Football Association's suspension on Sporting Gijon, it went straight to the core of the problem, saying that the three-game suspension of team coach Liang was the biggest blow to Sporting Gijon!
Even if the team suffers extensive injuries, as long as the Chinese is standing on the sidelines, both fans and players will have a backbone.
Now that head coach Li Ang has been suspended, the local media in Gijon pointed out that this is the biggest test for Sporting Gijon.
***********
On December 5th, in the 14th round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon played an away game against Levante. In this game, Li Ang was suspended. Sporting Gijon was directed by assistant coach Scott Rui. Of course, before the game started, Li Ang
I've tried my best to arrange everything.
There is no need to say anything more about the game. The score was zero to zero. The pale score can imagine how boring this game was.
After the game, the media in Madrid ridiculed Sporting Gijon for being like timid marmots in this game. They ridiculed Sporting Gijon for being so conservative when facing Levante.
Li Ang sneered at this and ignored it at all.
Carlos is suspended, Pepe is suspended, Hierro is suspended, Ivanovic is injured, Mata is injured, and Dorado is injured.
Sporting Gijon struggled to make up the starting eleven for this game. Left back Dani.
Borreguero started, while Grosso was arranged to play as a guest left center back and form a new center back partnership with Isma. In the midfield, Javier.
Blanco plays in Ribery's original position.
Li Ang's attitude is very clear, get a point from Levante's away game! The team focuses on defense, attacking when there is an opportunity, and defending when there is no opportunity, with not conceding the ball as the first element.
He doesn't care what the media says. With Sporting Gijon's current team, scoring points is the most important thing, and everything else is empty.
Sporting Gijon struggled to get a point in this round, and Barcelona, which also suffered a ban, won this round, but it was not easy to win. Facing the weak Malaga, Barcelona did not wait until the 80th minute of the game.
After many minutes, Deco scored with a long shot and scored the only goal of the game.
Real Madrid, who have been gloating about their misfortune and waiting for a profit, faced Villarreal in this round of the game at the Estadio da Ballad, and ended up with a 0-0 draw, failing to seize the opportunity and narrowing their place in second place in the league.
Sporting Gijon gap.
Yes, Sporting Gijon is still second in the league after drawing with Levante in this round. They have the same points as Sevilla who won this round. However, Sporting Gijon has more goals and a goal difference.
It’s also more than Sevilla, so it’s still second place.
***********
For Real Madrid, this is a great opportunity to narrow the point difference. What is surprising is that Real Madrid did not seize this opportunity. This time, "AS", which has always been the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, also changed its mind this time.
The direction of public opinion began to criticize Real Madrid.
The headline of "As" is "If you don't live up to your expectations, everything else is useless." The newspaper's reporter Castrio believes that Real Madrid should not think about anything else now, and doing their own thing well is the most important thing.
"AS" criticized Barcelona for playing without fighting spirit. Villarreal controlled the ball from the beginning and Submarine took the initiative in the game, while Real Madrid seemed to have no fighting spirit and seemed to be prepared for the difficulty of the game.
Weaknesses. There were not many fouls in the game, but Real Madrid failed to play a good offense.
"Look at the stars on Real Madrid's field, look at the stars on our bench, and look at Sporting Gijon who can barely make up the starting lineup. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is,
The Chinese guy did a great job. He used tractor materials to drive as fast as a sports car..."
Castrio's words are really rare. "AS" is equivalent to high praise for Leon. The implication is that he does a much better job than Real Madrid coach Luxenberg...
…
However, Li Ang did not appreciate the praise from Real Madrid's mouthpiece. He said unceremoniously in his column in "Voice of Gijon": I didn't want to say anything at first, but I have to speak because
I need to correct one thing, my players are not tractor material, they are diamonds in the rough, they are priceless!
