Vermaelen obviously admired Pepe for scoring such a super long-range goal. He gave a lot of compliments on the way to the pitch in the tunnel.
"This goal is so exciting. Many top offensive players may not be able to score such a goal." Vermaelen looked envious. He was a little annoyed and regretful at the same time. At that time, the corner kick entered the penalty area and there was chaos in the Sevilla penalty area.
, he also got a header opportunity at that time, but it was a pity that he was not prepared enough and did not have the power to header the ball, otherwise he would have scored the goal.
"I tell you, I could have become a great midfielder." Pepe held his head high, "It's a pity that when I was in Brazil, the coach arranged for me to play as a defender, and I have been playing until now."
"Then you can play as a midfielder now." Vermaelen felt sorry for Pepe.
"Ahem, cough, I'm used to it." Pepe didn't expect Vermaelen to believe what he said, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It turns out that there is a midfield genius buried in my team." Li Ang's voice suddenly came, and Pepe almost jumped up in fright.
"Boss, my dream is to become a great central defender." Pepe said righteously.
Vermaelen looked at Pepe with a shocked expression. The honest and humble Belgian young man probably never thought that a person's face could change so quickly.
"Go away." Li Angxu kicked Pepe, "If the Sevillans score in the second half of the game, I want you to look good."
Seeing Pepe patting his chest and making a promise before running away with Vermaelen, Li Ang snorted, "This bastard."
In fact, the smile on his face shows his love for this player.
***********
The goal conceded at the last minute of the first half had a huge impact on Sevilla.
Playing at home, with a numerical advantage, and the opponent is a direct opponent of the top four, these are the reasons why Sevilla must win the game.
After the start of the second half, Sevilla tried to launch a strong attack on Sporting Gijon's goal in an attempt to equalize the score, but unexpectedly suffered a blow to the head.
For the second half of the game, Li Ang's designated tactic was defensive counterattack. In terms of the specific details of the tactics, Li Ang decided to make a fuss about high-altitude balls and use Grosso's height and header advantages to cause trouble for Sevilla. Therefore,
, he asked Grosso to insert into the penalty area in time to grab the header during the counterattack.
He succeeded!
"Grosso leaps high...heads the ball!!"
This time Di Natale took the ball to the outside, took a feint and passed the high ball into the penalty area. When Grosso jumped up, no one around him could compete with him in height. Di Natale's cross
It is also very comfortable. The Italian left-back who is 190cm tall does not even need to adjust his posture. He only needs to tilt his head slightly in the air and then swing with force!
Sevilla goalkeeper Esteban still reacted at such a close distance. This reaction was quite good. He jumped out, but it was a pity that it was a step too late. When he rushed out,
The football has been smashed towards me, and the Sevilla goalkeeper, who is still in the air, can only watch helplessly as the football goes into the goal...
***********
"Goooooooooooooooooooooool!"
"Three to one! Three to one! Sporting Gijon's counterattack succeeded again with a sneak attack. The tall left back Grosso scored the goal. He has enough height advantage in Sevilla's penalty area!"
"Sporting de Gijon scored another goal in the 51st minute! This was their first attack and first shot after the start of the second half! They expanded their lead! Sevilla suffered a heavy blow!
"
As the commentator said, Grosso's goal really stunned the Sevilla players. After the start of the second half, they did not threaten Sporting Gijon's goal with two consecutive shots, and then the opponent once
The counterattack was successful? They didn't expect to concede the ball so quickly in the second half. This was definitely not in their tactical arrangement.
During the halftime break, Sevilla head coach Caparros made a big call, and all the arrangements he made were centered around the fact that they were going to score goals, equalize the score, and then reverse the score, even if they
I didn't expect to lose the ball again...
In a sense, the Sevilla people have no plan to deal with conceding goals again!
***********
Grosso was so excited that he scored a header. The Italian left back ran to the sidelines and hugged Li Ang tightly. He wanted to thank the coach. It was Li Ang who arranged for him and asked him to participate more in the attack in the second half and take advantage of his header.
, and he scored a goal. The head coach was indeed amazing, so amazing that Grosso admired him endlessly.
There was another reason why Grosso was so excited. In the stands of Pizjuan Stadium, an Italian man with silver hair stood up and applauded the goal.
Lippi, the head coach of the Italian national team, came to the Pizjuan Stadium in Seville to watch the game. In this Sporting Gijon team, there are three Italian stars. In addition to the veteran Albertini, there is also Gero.
Grosso, Di Natale and Albertini belong to the Italian national team in the past. However, Grosso and Di Natale are both Lippi's inspection targets, especially Grosso, who is Lippi's left back.
New discoveries in location.
Sporting Gijon's goal was Di Natale's pass to the outside after getting the ball in the middle, and the left back Grosso suddenly inserted into the penalty area and scored with a header: Di Natale assisted, Groso
The goal was a result of the cooperation between the two Italian players. If you also include the long pass from Albertini that initiated the attack, this goal can be said to be a chemical reaction between the three Italian players.
Grosso naturally knew that the national team coach came to the stands to watch the game, so at this moment, the Italian left-back was particularly excited, as if he saw the national team's door open to him again.
***********
The game continues.
The entire Sporting de Gijon team was highly motivated by this goal. Although one person was missing, in subsequent games, they showed a stronger defensive attitude and were sharper in their counterattacks, allowing Sevilla to
People have headaches and are anxious.
And Di Natale's sudden goal hit the crossbar. The Italian shooter looked extremely annoyed and punched the ground hard.
"This is not like Antonio." Li Ang also regretted it, and then said that Di Natale has a very gentle and honest temper. If he missed a goal, he would mostly scratch his head, give a wry smile, or forcefully
Waving your fist is the biggest emotional reaction. This time I was a little too excited.
"Lippi is in the stands." Scottry said to Li Ang.
It turned out that the Silver Fox came to inspect the players, and Li Ang understood instantly. He understood why Di Natale was so upset, and why he was so excited after Grosso scored just now. Lippi came to watch the game, and he should be like these few.
An Italian player called in advance to communicate, which means: I'm here to inspect you, perform well.
Therefore, in today's game, both Grosso and Di Natale seemed to have been given a shot.
Li Ang's eyes stayed on the team captain Albertini. In today's game, Sporting Gijon played with one less player early on. As the core of the team's midfield, Albertini was under great pressure. However, the 33-year-old
The 20-year-old Italian veteran performed very calmly today. Even in a passive situation, he still organized Sporting Gijon's midfield in an orderly manner. Two of Sporting Gijon's three goals came from Albertini's organization and instigation.
The second goal was also a set piece he took that caused chaos in the Sevilla penalty area.
Demi performed very well today... Li Ang thought this way, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the stand, thoughtfully.
