Ribery's goal caused a brief silence in the Tardini Stadium. Only the cheers of less than a thousand Sporting Gijon fans who came to the away game were so harsh.
Oriari said to Moratti, "In the duel between the two coaches, Mr. Camigiani lost."
As the manager of Inter Milan, Oriali has a sharp vision. Throughout the first half of the game, the head coach of Sporting Gijon can be said to be the new head coach who completely defeated Parma.
Sporting Gijon played more proactively, more openly, and more confidently, and Sporting Gijon's tactics were diversified. On the other hand, Parma blindly retracted the defense line and gave up the initiative, especially when the first goal was conceded.
At that time, Camigiani did not respond effectively. On Sporting Gijon's side, Oriali noticed that their head coach called the relevant players to the sidelines for instructions, and then the visiting team's second goal came as promised.
Although it is unclear what Li Ang said to his players, the effect was immediate.
If Oriali was interested in Li Ang and Sporting Gijon because Moratti mentioned and paid attention to the Chinese head coach of Sporting Gijon, and then began to pay attention to Li Ang, and his attention aroused surprise and interest, now
After watching the game at the scene and witnessing the performance of the Chinese in the coaching bench, Oriali began to appreciate the Chinese: He is indeed very good.
Blanca did not speak, but he had to admit that the Chinese had two skills.
Moratti also had a look of appreciation in his eyes. Judging from this first half, he felt that his trip was worthwhile. The performance of Sporting Gijon's players made him shine. Of course, Li Ang's performance also made him
More intuitive understanding.
***********
Parma head coach Piero Camiggiani's expression was quite solemn. He was very cautious about his first official game after taking over Parma, even overly cautious, that is, he was very conservative.
He had a good idea. He tried his best to defend in the first half of the game, try not to concede the ball or concede fewer goals, accumulate strength, counterattack in the second half of the game, and use Gilardino's scoring ability to win the victory against his opponent.
However, it was obvious that the game trend in the first half did not follow his script.
This left the inexperienced new coach at a loss.
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. The score of the first half was temporarily fixed at 0:2. According to international practice, the home team is in front and the visiting team is in back. Sporting Gijon had two teams at halftime.
The ball leads the opponent.
The stands of the Tardini Stadium were booed loudly. The team was deep in the Serie A relegation zone and now trailed its opponents by two goals at halftime in the UEFA Cup. Parma fans gave up. You know, they were in the Serie A relegation zone last season.
They are still among the top six in the league. Looking further ahead, Parma is a strong team in Serie A. Although it cannot be said to be a strong contender for the championship, it is a powerful spoiler and a frequent visitor to the Champions League. It was so glorious and proud in the past, but now
The situation can arouse people's dissatisfaction and anger.
Amid the boos of Parma fans, Sporting Gijon players left the field talking and laughing. In the two-round knockout round, in the away game, they led their opponents 2-0 at halftime. This was a score that satisfied everyone.
.
Parma's players had serious expressions or quickly fled the field in frustration. The boos from Parma fans were so harsh in their ears.
***********
“Well done!”
"Guys, this is it, keep the football firmly under your feet."
"Those Italians were saying that Spanish teams are afraid of Italian teams, and now you used forty-five minutes of the game to shut them up!"
Li Ang was in a good mood and praised the whole team's performance, encouraged and cheered them up.
He really felt the need to praise his players. The Serie A team was not easy to deal with, especially at their home court. It was not easy to escape unscathed, not to mention leading by two goals at halftime.
"After the second half started, we retreated on defense and fought Parma's counterattack," Li Ang said.
Now leading 2-0, with two away goals in hand, it is not Sporting Gijon that is anxious, but Parma.
Li Ang doesn't know much about Parma's new coach Camigiani, but judging from the 'confrontation' between the two in the first half of the game, it's not that Li Ang is arrogant, he really feels that this person can't do anything to him.
Threat. Having trained with big-name coaches like Rijkaard and Rosenborg, opponents like Camiggiani are really just a piece of cake for Leon.
Moreover, judging from Camigiani's on-the-spot response in the first half of the game, it was a bit too conservative. However, facing the half-time score of 0-2, Li Ang had an intuition that the opponent's head coach would go crazy and leave in the second half of the game.
Extreme: The extreme of extreme conservatism is gambling-style offense.
If Parma wants to make a difference in the UEFA Cup, they must attack in the second half and score as many goals as possible.
This is Li Ang's guess and prediction. Regardless of whether his prediction is accurate or not, Li Ang requires the team to change the proactive offensive style of the first half in the second half and switch to defensive counterattack tactics. This is safe and will not change.
You can't go wrong if you adapt to changes: Sporting Gijon's defensive counterattack is very good.
***********
In the home team's dressing room at the Tardini Stadium.
Camigiani was honest with his players about his mistake.
"The first half of the game was too passive, we were too conservative."
"Of course, this is my responsibility." Camiggiani said. He has no qualifications and temporarily accepted a 'quasi-powerful team' like Parma. Camigiani has little deterrent effect on Parma's stars, so,
His posture was very low.
Of course, we can also see this gentleman’s character from here.
If it is Li Ang, even if he has no qualifications, he will never be polite when facing these "defeated soldiers and defeated generals" who have suffered repeated defeats.
The players of Parma had different mentality. Some were staring at the coach, some were looking down at the floor, and some were wearing earphones in one ear... It is conceivable that with a score of zero to two at half-time, if in Gijon
If someone in competitive sports dared to wear headphones and act casually, Li Ang would directly rip off the bastard's headphones and kick him out of the first team. However, Camigiani just frowned and made no more unnecessary moves.
Then, the gentleman began to lay out the tactics for the second half of the game.
***********
"We have to be more proactive in the second half of the game!"
"From the first second of the second half, we put pressure on the opponent's goal! We want to catch them off guard!"
"The two wings need to be more active."
"Vignaroli, you have to move more to cover Gilardino."
"The people of Gijon must not have expected that we suddenly exerted our strength in the second half of the game. We strive to score goals as soon as possible. As long as we score the first goal, the people of Gijon will be nervous and panicked, and then score the second goal as soon as possible! The third goal
Goal! Being behind by two goals is not an irreversible situation! We are stronger than them, and we must have confidence in ourselves."
Some people nodded in agreement with the head coach's words. The offensive players represented by Gilardino naturally raised their hands in agreement. They also believed that the team was too conservative in the first half. Some were noncommittal... and some subconsciously felt that the main
The coach's arrangement is a bit risky, but it's hard for them to say anything. In any case, as players, they just have to play according to the coach's arrangement.
***********
On the other side, in the visiting team's locker room.
"Defend well and counterattack resolutely!" Li Ang waved his arms, "When it's time to counterattack, be determined and sharp! The Parma people are not in a good situation now. Being two goals behind is like being on the edge of a cliff for them.
If we seize the opportunity and score another goal, our opponent's psychological defense will collapse."
Li Ang said very firmly.
PS: In the last two days of the month, the situation is critical, please give me a monthly pass.
