"Coach Li Ang is really very conservative," commentator D'Agostino said, looking at Sporting Gijon's starting list in his hand.
Sporting Gijon arranged a four-back formation today. The left back is Grosso, the right back Ivanovic, and the center back combination is veteran Hierro and Pepe. There is no surprise. As long as no players are injured, Hope
Hong Jingjing basically uses this guard combination in important games.
Among them, the performance of former Real Madrid captain Hierro this season is amazing. After leaving Real Madrid, this veteran went to Qatar for a season of "travel". After returning to La Liga, he and Pepe formed a central defender partner for Sporting Gijon.
, although he is old and his speed and reaction are not as good as before, Hierro has always firmly occupied the starting center back position of Sporting Gijon with his rich experience, and his partnership with the young Pepe can be said to be the best.
They complement each other well. Pepe is young and energetic, but a little impatient. Hierro's experience and guidance are Pepe's best teachers.
The reason why D'Agostino believes that Leon is conservative is that in the midfield, Carlos and Marcos start together. One is a tough guy in the midfield, and the other is a pure defensive player known as Makelele.
It is not common for two players to start together. Even when visiting Camp Nou or the Bernabeu, Liang rarely uses these two players at the same time. This is enough to show that Sporting Gijon attaches great importance to defense today.
Mata was injured in the match against Albacete. Before the game, the media reported that Mata might not be able to play in today's game. The final result was that Mata entered the squad and is now sitting on the bench as his replacement.
Mata's is Venezuelan player Juan Arango.
On the left wing, Ribery started as usual.
Surprisingly, Li Ang seemed to be playing a single forward tactic in this game, with only one Diego Milito on the front line, and behind Diego Milito was Modric.
*************
"Leon's starting lineup is hard to understand." Gonzalez said, "Modric is the attacking midfielder?" He raised a question.
Modric has temporarily played as an attacking midfielder in some games, so Gonzalez will have this suspicion.
Li Ang was sitting on the coaching bench, and his eyes also stayed on Modric. In today's game, he entrusted Modric with important tasks!
It is truly entrusted with the highest level of reuse!
It can be said that throughout the first half of the game, all Sporting Gijon's tactics revolved around Modric, and the Croatian teenager's position on the field was definitely not just an attacking midfielder as the commentator thought...
When the players from both sides stood in their respective positions and waited for kick-off, the El Molinon Stadium, which had been noisy for more than half an hour, fell into a brief silence. For a moment, the sound disappeared and everyone held their breath.
Attentively waiting for the game to start.
The referee Marienko stood in the center circle, looked at the watch on his wrist, and then looked at the fourth official on the sidelines. After getting permission to kick off, he blew the whistle in his mouth: a clear whistle sounded.
Game start.
*************
After Ronaldinho passed the ball to Eto'o, he ran forward. At the same time, Diego Milito, who was waiting outside the center circle, rushed straight towards Eto'o who had the ball.
Eto'o didn't give him a chance to steal the ball on the spot. He turned around and passed the ball to Deco behind him. He passed by Diego Milito.
In this game, Li Ang started Diego Milito, who had just recovered from injury. This once aroused doubts from assistants during the coaching staff meeting, thinking that Diego Milito would be unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility after being absent from the team for a long time. However, Li Ang said
Diego Milito has given him firm trust. He believes that the Argentine striker will repay his trust with the best performance. This Argentine is a big-game player!
Diego Milito ignored Eto'o and continued to rush towards Deco.
Deco passed the football backwards to the Mexican defender Marquez behind him. Diego Milito ignored Deco and continued to pounce on Marquez.
Almost at the same time, Juan Arango and Ribery also began to accelerate and press forward desperately.
On the contrary, Modric did not rush forward and stayed in the center circle.
Behind him are Carlos and Marcos.
*************
Marquez was a little worried by Sporting Gijon's pressing. He quickly passed the football to Belletti on the edge. Diego Milito did not continue to pounce on Belletti because Ribery rushed up.
Already.
As soon as Belletti received the ball, he realized that Ribery had already rushed in front of him. He quickly dunked the ball, intending to dodge the Frenchman.
If it were a previous game, and Ribery failed to grab the ball in the first attempt, he might not have bothered him anymore. After all, he was an offensive player. However, what Belletti didn't expect was that Ribery continued to bother him.
"Stop dawdling, pass the ball!" Valdez clearly saw the situation on the field from behind. Sporting Gijon's current formation surprised and worried him. Modric was eyeing the midfield, Carlos and
Marcos defended the center line, Ribery and other offensive players pressed hard, and Diego Milito was roaming outside the penalty area. Once Belletti played with fire in the backcourt, Sporting Gijon's counterattack would come in an instant.
.
Rijkaard frowned on the sidelines. He felt that he could see Li Ang's plan. Sporting Gijon's tactics today were to defend the midfield and the backcourt and be ready, while the frontcourt players were pressing hard and trying to find opportunities for sneak attacks.
However, such a tactic is like dividing the entire team into the front and the rear. Isn’t Li Ang afraid of the front and back court being disconnected?!
*************
Belletti was a little embarrassed by Ribery. He tried to dunk Ribery, but found that the opponent was very smart and got him again. In desperation, he could only choose a big kick to drive the football forward.
field.
Giuly tried to grab a header in the frontcourt, but he lost to Pepe. The Frenchman was no match for Pepe in terms of strength, and the ball was pushed back by Pepe.
Barcelona's young player Iniesta beautifully hooked the football back in the air, and just as he was about to stop the ball, he felt someone approaching. He moved the football to the other side, but saw a foot coming over and directly hit it.
The football poked away.
"Carlos and Marcos team up to steal the ball!"
After poking the football away, Carlos strode forward and held Iniesta behind him as he tried to counterattack. The latter pushed, but felt that he had been pushed into a wall.
After stealing the ball, Marcos quickly retreated and stayed firmly at the back of the center circle. He had no intention of participating in the attack.
Carlos quickly passed the ball, not forward, but back, to Modric behind him. At this time, people noticed that Modric's position was actually very deep.
"What is this doing?" Rijkaard was even more surprised and puzzled. Modric retreated so deep. Who in Sporting Gijon's frontcourt would organize the attack?
Rijkaard felt that he could understand Li Ang's starting arrangements and the tactical arrangements on the field today, but he was a little confused...
