Three minutes later, Sporting Gijon made the second substitution adjustment of the game. Diego Milito was replaced and Marcos came on as a substitute.
Replacing the team's center and replacing it with a purely defensive midfielder, Sporting Gijon's intention is self-evident.
Not long after Marcos came on the field, he completed a key block.
After Baptista's shot was blocked, Navas made a follow-up shot, but Marcos blocked the ball on the goal line.
"Marcos! He has done a great job!"
"Sevilla's offensive is getting stronger and stronger!"
"Sporting Gijon is in a very bad situation right now."
Sevilla gets another corner kick.
The Sevilla team did not continue to take tactical corner kicks, but continued to change their corner kick tactics.
This time it was a direct long pass, kicking the football to the top of the penalty area.
Then people saw Brazilian defender Alves shoot directly.
This foot pressed the ball very well, and the football almost touched the crossbar and came out of the baseline.
"It's just a little bit short. If the ball had dropped a few centimeters lower, it would have been a wonderful shot in the world." D'Agostino said regretting the Brazilian's shot.
"This is a corner kick tactic that Sevilla has designed long ago! Their corner kick tactics changed a lot today."
Li Ang was watching this scene on the sidelines, but he was thoughtful. Although the Sevilla people had not scored from the corner kick, their changeable corner kick tactics still made Li Ang's eyes shine and he was touched.
***********
Navas sent an overhead kick.
Baptista stopped the ball with his chest and drove the ball directly towards the penalty area.
Vermaelen wanted to reach out and pull, but suddenly remembered that this position was near the penalty area. It was too dangerous for a foul at this position, so he had to give up.
Baptista smashed the ball directly and deceived Vermaelen into making a move, followed by a long shot.
Vermaelen still showed people his defensive talent at this time. Even though he was deceived and lost his center of gravity, his trailing leg still successfully blocked the shot, which made the shot less powerful.
Rencia easily caught the football.
Valencia immediately ran to the edge of the penalty area and directly threw the ball vigorously to launch a counterattack.
“Sporting Gijon’s counterattack is coming!”
Valencia handed the ball to Carlos, who went directly to Albertini. The captain of Sporting Gijon sent a long ball, and then people saw the football in the air and Ribery running wildly on the ground: it was simply
One of Sporting Gijon's classic counterattack routines.
Ribery caught up with the football. He dribbled the ball along the wing. When approaching the penalty area, facing Navarro who was defending him, he feinted a shot and passed the ball to Di Natale who was following up. In fact, the football was
With a sudden slam, he rushed past Navarro!
Ribery broke into the penalty area and became entangled with Casteldo, and then both fell to the ground.
***********
The Pizjuan Stadium was in an uproar, and the entire stadium was as noisy as the roar of an airplane.
The Sporting Gijon players raised their hands in the air and cheered. They thought Castordo had committed a foul and should be given a penalty kick.
The Sevilla players kept waving their hands and rushed to the referee. They insisted that Ribery was diving and should be given a yellow card. You must know that Ribery had already received a yellow card for a tactical foul during a defense. If
If you get another yellow card, it will turn into two yellows and one red and get out. In that case, Sporting Gijon will be fighting with nine people.
Li Ang was a little angry off the court because the referee did not award Sporting Gijon a penalty kick in the end. However, the controversial referee did not give Ribery a yellow card. He let Sevilla goalkeeper Este
Ban goal kick...no foul, no penalty, no diving, nothing counts.
Sevilla's head coach Caparros also seemed very angry. He believed that Ribery was diving and should get a second yellow card and get out. In this case, his team would be 11 against 9. During the game
At this stage, the numerical advantage has turned into a huge physical advantage, which will be the last straw for Sporting Gijon. It is just a pity that the referee did not listen to him.
***********
No one expected that this match between the second place in the league and the fourth place in the league would be followed by a very rare and dramatic scene.
Sevilla goalkeeper Esteban took a goal kick, but his foot slipped and the kick was flawed. The ball was a half-high ball and did not go far.
Sevilla defender Castro just escaped a suspected penalty kick. He was walking forward with lingering fear when he felt something hit his back. He subconsciously turned his head to look.
We saw a scene that made all Seville people dumbfounded and desperate.
The football hit Casteldo's back and bounced back, landing right in front of Ribery who was walking back.
At this time, there was no defender around Ribery. He was behind all the Sevilla players, and behind him was the Sevilla goalkeeper and the goal.
In a sense, Ribery was in an offside position.
However, this time, Ribery was not offside.
Ribery was shocked at first, and then the French young man reacted quickly, turned around with the ball, and headed towards the goal. A few meters behind him was Casteldo, who rushed back in panic.
"Not offside! Not offside! Ribery is not offside!"
"The ball bounced off our defender from Esteban's opening kick and was not passed by a Sporting Gijon player. Therefore, Ribery was not offside!"
***********
This dramatic scene was simply too unexpected. When Liang saw this situation on the sidelines, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic: Of course he knew that Ribery was not offside. As a head coach, he is very familiar with the rules.
At that time, Li Ang was even worried that the referee was not familiar with the rules and would wrongly call Ribery for offside. In his memory, in the subsequent AFC Champions League, there was a West Asian referee who called off such a counterattack by the Chinese Super League team.
What's the opportunity?
Fortunately, Li Ang's worries did not arise. Although Gomez, the referee on duty for this game, was suspected of favoring the home team, he did not make any low-level mistakes in the face of such obvious rules.
Next, everyone saw Ribery dribbling the ball into the penalty area. Facing the hurriedly attacking Sevilla goalkeeper Esteban, he made a beautiful dunk over the goalkeeper and succeeded in pushing the ball into the empty goal... desperately returning to defense.
Sevilla center back Castro made a sliding tackle and the ball just sailed into the net, failing to prevent the ball from being conceded.
