On March 20th, the 29th round of the league. Sporting Gijon challenged the defending champion Valencia at home, and the final score was 2:1.
Sporting Gijon won, but it was very difficult to win.
Sporting Gijon was still trailing 0:1 until the 81st minute of the game. They staged a desperate counterattack at the last minute. The go-ahead goal was even scored in the last minute of stoppage time.
This game was the most exciting game of the current round of La Liga. Although the two sides only scored three goals in total, they were all wonderful. Valencia striker Villa scored an overhead kick in the penalty area. Sporting Gijon's Di
Natale assisted Modric with a volley to equalize the score. In stoppage time, Ivanovic showed his true qualities as a defender with a knife. The beautiful lion shook his head and scored, helping Sporting Gijon overtake the score at the last moment.
In addition, there was one red card and five yellow cards in the whole game. The transition between offense and defense was very fast, and both sides played wildly. The scene was very exciting, and the fans must have enjoyed watching it.
However, during the game, Li Ang was not in a good mood. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. In the first half of the game, Marcos was sent off with a red card for accumulating two yellow cards. In Li Ang's eyes, the referee showed
The first yellow card given to Marcos was non-existent.
In the early battle with one less player, Li Ang showed his gambling side. Sporting Gijon did not be conservative, but took the initiative to attack. This was very risky, although Valencia seized the opportunity to score a goal.
However, it only inspired the fierceness of Sporting Gijon. They launched a wave of offensive in the second half of the game, and Valencia also counterattacked well. Both sides contributed to a high-tempo game.
If they lose the game, Sporting Gijon may be widened by Barcelona again, which will be a big blow to Sporting Gijon, which has decided to go for the championship.
So at the last moment of the game, Javier Blanco, who came on as a substitute, broke through and made a cross. Ivanovic broke into Valencia's penalty area and scored with a textbook flick of his head. Li Ang almost came from
The coach's bench jumped up and celebrated wildly.
This goal saved his heart and continued his ambition for the championship!
As the season enters the sprint stage, every victory in the game is precious.
Thank goodness for Ivan!
***********
After the game, the media in Madrid also said sourly that Li Ang was really lucky. After almost one player was missing for more than an hour, he was able to equalize the score at the last moment. It was really a piece of shit luck.
In addition, in words, the Madrid people are also envious of Sporting Gijon, and can even be said to be envious and jealous. Compared with Herguera's unreliability, Ivanovic's performance is simply too brilliant. This is just
The young defender from Serbia and Montenegro, who spent hundreds of thousands of euros on Sporting Gijon, has made rapid progress this season under the guidance of Li Ang. After Dorado was injured, he firmly occupied the position of Sporting Gijon's main right back, and
The performance is getting better and better.
In the words of "Marca", a player like Ivanovic should be wearing a Real Madrid jersey.
According to the view of the Madrid media, as long as they are good players, they should wear their jersey.
In this round of the league, Barcelona defeated Deportivo La Coruña 1-0 at home and continued to lead Sporting Gijon by one point.
Real Madrid, which had just changed coaches, also achieved a difficult victory under the leadership of interim head coach Carlo. They narrowly defeated Malaga at home with a goal. However, Owen's goal for Real Madrid was suspected of being offside.
Angry protests after Malaga match.
The Catalan media also said sarcastically that Real Madrid is now benefiting from the referee, so why don't they blame the referee?
Of course, Deportivo had something to say. They lost to Barcelona 0-1 and Eto'o scored a penalty kick. Deportivo insisted that the penalty did not exist and believed that Deco had dived.
***********
"You see, both of them benefited from the referee's penalty, and only we suffered." Li Ang shrugged and said to his players, "So, boys, be proud of yourselves. In such a difficult situation, we
It’s amazing that they can all win.”
Li Ang did not miss any opportunity to encourage his players, and he also used the controversial penalties of Real Madrid and Barcelona in this round of league games as an issue.
"Stay in good condition and wish you good luck." Li Ang continued, "Also, protect yourselves and don't get injured. You are all players who want to compete for the championship."
There was a burst of laughter among the players.
Afterwards, the whole team disbanded.
After the game against Valencia, there will be two weeks of national team matches, and the league will be suspended for two weeks.
Sporting Gijon, as the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season, now firmly occupies the second place in La Liga. Li Ang's players have naturally attracted the attention of the national team coaches of their respective countries.
Compared with the beginning of the season, Sporting Gijon had almost no adult national team players, and only young players such as Mata were selected for the youth national team. Now Sporting Gijon has many players selected for the national team.
***********
The team's Italian left-back Fabio Grosso was selected for the Italian national team. Also selected for the Italian national team was striker Di Natale, who Li Ang remembered as a late-blooming striker at Udinese.
Due to the surplus of forward talents in the Italian national team and the fact that he has only played for inferior clubs for a long time, Di Natale was not reused until after the 2006 World Cup when his comprehensive qualities won the favor of then Italian coach Donadoni.
Because of Li Ang, he became very popular at Sporting Gijon. In 2005, he was selected for Lippi's Italian national team and may even participate in the World Cup in Germany.
Pepe was selected for the Portuguese national team.
Ivanovic was also selected for the Serbia and Montenegro national team for the first time, which excited the young man.
Modric was selected for the Croatian national team.
In addition, Mata and Carlos were once again selected for the Spanish youth national team, and Benzema was also selected for the French youth national team.
Diego Milito unfortunately missed the call-up to the Argentina national team because he had just recovered from injury.
Counting this way, Sporting Gijon has as many as five players selected for their respective adult national teams, and many players have been selected for the youth national team, which can be regarded as a major player in the international football team.
The players all left the Malayo training base, left Gijon, and returned to their respective national teams to report.
However, Li Ang noticed a depressed and lost guy in the training base.
PS: The double monthly pass has started, and I am begging my friends for their monthly pass support.
