The football flew straight to the goal like a cannonball!
Valdes struggled to get into the air, stretching his arms as much as possible and fully stretching his body, but he did not touch the ball. No one in the penalty area touched the ball.
The football in the air drew an arc like a meteor, passed through the crowd, and shot through Valdez's fingers!
The football hit the net hard and made a "swish" sound.
"Ah...ah! The ball has gone in? The ball has gone in!!!" The commentator D'Agostino, who was commenting on this game, jumped up from his seat, first with an uncertain tone, and then with an affirmative tone.
He raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
Next to him, his commentary partner was also roaring, "Goooooooooooooooool! Luka Modric! Luka Modric!! Great goal! He scared everyone! Including his teammates!"
"
Such a goal is really exciting, and the commentators are excited.
After scoring the goal, Modric ran excitedly to the stands where Sporting Gijon fans were most concentrated. He turned his back to the fans and pointed his hands back to the name on the back of his jersey!
"Luca!"
"Luca!"
"Luca!"
The entire stadium erupted with a huge, roaring roar, and everyone was excited about this earth-shattering goal.
***********
"Two to zero! It's incredible! Modric's super blast! Gijon is now two goals ahead!"
"Gentlemen and ladies, if you just turned on the TV, please don't doubt your eyes! The score you see now is true! Barcelona, which must win, is now two goals behind! Just now, Sporting Gijon's
Croatian youngster Luka Modric scored an incredible long-range blast goal!"
In the coaching bench, Li Ang was celebrating excitedly. He ran with his arms open, and then ran back, and was hugged by other members of his coaching staff. They jumped and jumped to celebrate the goal!
This goal is so crucial!
With a 1-0 lead, Sporting Gijon may not feel confident, but with a two-goal lead, Sporting Gijon can defend and counterattack with more confidence!
The fans sang songs in praise of Modric in the stands and cheered for their team. This goal of the Croatian boy is simply too important and beautiful!
The Barcelona players held their heads in their hands, some of them couldn't believe their eyes. They were actually trailing 2-0?!
Modric's world-beating score even frustrated the tried-and-tested Barcelona stars. They besieged almost the entire first half but failed to score. The opponent counterattacked twice, once with a big gift from their own side.
, such a super goal once, this is too frustrating, some people may even subconsciously feel that even God is on the side of Sporting Gijon.
This Barcelona at this time is not the Cosmos team that was later. They have not won a championship yet, and they do not have the domineering power accumulated by countless championships. Therefore, at this moment, Barcelona's players are obviously affected by the loss of the ball.
, somewhat demoralized.
The players of Sporting Gijon were greatly inspired by this goal and became more active on the court.
***********
At this time, Li Ang took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and called the team captain Hierro to the sidelines, asking the whole team to be more vigilant, not to be blindly excited, and to continue to adhere to the defensive-oriented tactics.
Li Ang's reminder was crucial, as it promptly curbed the team's excitement and possible mental imbalance caused by the two-goal lead.
This also made Rijkaard helpless. He noticed that after Sporting Gijon took a two-goal lead, he seemed to be a little too excited. He was planning to arrange for the team to seize the opportunity and try to catch Sporting Gijon by surprise. He did not expect Li Ang to be like this.
Problems were discovered quickly and adjustments were made immediately.
What a cunning guy!
The two head coaches secretly competed with each other in a battle of wits. During the rest of the first half, the situation on the field was almost the same as before, and there were no more goals or accidents.
Sporting Gijon defended mainly, and Barcelona attacked hard, hoping to get a goal back. However, with Sporting Gijon defending with peace of mind, Barcelona did not get any good opportunities until the referee Marienko blew the whistle for the first half.
At the final whistle, Rijkaard did not see his team score.
Sporting Gijon entered the locker room with a two-goal lead. The players had happy smiles on their faces. They had two balls in their hands, which gave them confidence. During the game, there were instructions and warnings from Li Ang.
They devoted themselves to the game and had no time to think. At the end of the first half, they thought that if they won this direct match with Barcelona, they would be five points ahead of their opponents and closer to the league championship. This made everyone
Everyone's heart beats faster!
The Barcelona people, who were two goals behind, were a little frustrated. They knew very well that the current situation was not optimistic for them. Rijkaard's expression was also a little solemn. The only time left for his team was the second half.
Forty-five minutes have passed. If they cannot score three goals in the second half to reverse and win the game, their championship dream will be cast into a haze!
***********
This game is considered to be a game that may affect the ownership of the La Liga championship this season. It can be called the focus of this round of La Liga. More than 60 countries and regions around the world broadcast the game live. At the end of the first half, various countries
The commentators expressed their opinions on the first half of the game. They were generally shocked by Sporting Gijon's two-goal lead.
"The surprising half-time score is that Sporting Gijon is leading by two goals! In such an important direct confrontation, the side that scores first must have an advantage, and what's even more advantageous is that they are also leading by two goals."
"Sporting Gijon's tactics are quite successful, very pragmatic, and at the same time very effective. Liang gave the young Modric an important task today, while Rijkaard was caught off guard. The score of 2-0 illustrates this well.
All this. Although the Barcelona people have been struggling to find goals, Sporting Gijon's defense has also done an excellent job..."
"The first half was really exciting! Although Sporting Gijon was a bit conservative, the game was not dull. Barcelona's attack was very fierce. Unfortunately, it never found a way to score. On the contrary, Sporting Gijon's two goals gave way to
People are amazed! Modric, this young Croatian player was the best player in the first half of the game, and Li Ang's tactics achieved great success!"
The commentators are all praising Sporting Gijon, praising Modric and praising Li Ang's tactical success, not to mention the fans of Sporting Gijon.
In the stands, Xavi Gradro was very excited about the first half: "That's great! We actually led by two goals!"
"Hey, Harvey, what do you mean by that? Shouldn't we be ahead?" Someone next to him feigned anger.
"Should! Of course we should! I just didn't expect that we were leading 2-0! Barcelona were two goals behind. God, I get goosebumps just thinking about it now. Guys, do you think it is really possible for us to win the championship?"
Win the La Liga championship?" Xavi Gradro didn't lie. He was still shaking with excitement. He still couldn't imagine that his beloved team could actually win the La Liga championship.
His words caused a brief silence from the friends around him. Yes, all of them could not imagine that Sporting Gijon would have a chance to win the La Liga championship trophy!
This is simply a fantasy dream that I dare not even dream of!
***********
"With Li, is there anything we can't do?" Bader Kure's voice broke the brief silence, "That's not what we have to consider, we just have to trust Li and the boys!"
This immediately resonated with everyone!
"Yes! Yes! Li is so great!"
"He is so awesome! Throughout the first half of the game, Rijkaard was completely suppressed by him! It's really hard to imagine that he is not even thirty yet!"
"That's right! I really feel like a dream. More than a year ago, we almost entered the third division. Then, Li came. Not only did we avoid relegation, we also successfully upgraded. At the Bernabeu, we were promoted from Real Madrid.
We stole the Copa del Rey title from our hands! Now, we are actually number one in La Liga!"
All the players were filled with emotion and excitement. They began to think about all kinds of good memories and the future. At first, they were worried about gains and losses, but, as Badercoure said, they just need to choose to believe in the many players of Leon. They want to
All they have to do is enjoy the game and enjoy the joy that football brings them!
***********
In the home team's locker room at El Molinon Stadium, looking at the excited players, Li Ang decided to pour some cold water on these people.
"We are leading by two goals, which is good, guys. Logically speaking, I should praise you and congratulate you at this time. But I'm sorry, I can't do that at the moment." Li Ang shook his head and said. "I thought that we might be better in the second half.
We are facing a crisis, and if we are blindly optimistic, that crisis is really likely to become a reality."
The players looked at their head coach with some dissatisfaction. Some people felt that the coach was being alarmist. Some even felt that Barcelona was nothing more than that. They defeated Barcelona in the away game, and now they are leading 2-0 at home at halftime. Barcelona has another
Awesome, Sporting Gijon is like Barcelona’s nemesis.
Li Ang looked at the players, "This is by no means alarmist."
"Barcelona is stronger than us. This is an indisputable fact. We caught them off guard in the first half and took a two-goal lead. This makes us qualified to look forward to victory, but it also forces Barcelona people to go even crazier! They will not
They are willing to fail. They know better than us what losing this game means to them! They are like enraged bulls, and they are the strongest and most dangerous bulls. Even the best bullfighters dare not
Don't take it lightly! What's more, they are indeed very strong. Maybe with just a little bit of luck, the game will be different in the second half!"
Under Li Ang's glance and warning, after listening to Li Ang's words, the players' eagerness gradually calmed down. They had to admit that the coach was right. Barcelona people are very strong. Barcelona, which was enraged, fought with their last legs.
, may burst out with huge energy, and as Li Ang said, the element of luck is also very important. If the Barcelona people are lucky enough in the second half of the game, a comeback may not be impossible, just like Sporting Gijon was lucky enough in the first half, once
It was the opponent who made a mistake while busy. Once, Modric's explosive shot was scored. The situation has changed. Who can dare to say that the Barcelona people will not turn around in the second half of the game?!
"In such an important game, the first and second half can be regarded as two rounds of knockout rounds. Barcelona lost the first round and there is no hope of comeback in the second round. Last season, AC Milan beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 at home.
, we lost 0-4 away from home in the second round and were eliminated. This is what we have learned from the past. Such a reversal can happen. A two-goal lead is really not as safe as you think! In the second half of the game, everyone must be more vigilant. Don’t
Give the Barcelona people a chance to score. Of course, if there is a chance to score, I hope you will try to seize the opportunity to score... Expanding the lead is the safest thing!"
***********
In the visiting team's locker room, Rijkaard was also giving a lecture.
"The situation is not good, gentlemen," Rijkaard said to his players in the locker room.
The players' expressions were solemn and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
"Actually, you did a good job in the first half, gentlemen." Rijkaard continued. He saw the players' looks and said, "I'm not mocking you. The first half of the game was like this.
As a result, a large part of the responsibility lies with me. I misjudged the opponent’s tactical intentions! The responsibility lies with me!”
The players all looked at the head coach in surprise. Rijkaard took the initiative to take the blame. This relieved the frustration of the players a little and also touched them a little. The head coach had the courage to take responsibility instead of yelling at them players. This made the players
Many people feel much better.
"In fact, in the first half of the game, we were always looking for goals, we were always proactive, and faced the opponent's intensive defense, we created some opportunities, but we were just not lucky enough! This is good. I believe that the second half of the game will be ours.
Our world is ours! We have worked hard all season, and we have led the entire season, not to set off some damn dark horse miracle! The championship must belong to us!"
Everyone's chests felt like fire was burning. Rijkaard's words were deep in their hearts. They had worked hard for a season, they had led the whole season, and the championship must be theirs! They were not willing to accept what they had done throughout the season.
He worked hard, but became the backdrop for a dark horse miracle!
Seeing the brilliance and heat in the players' eyes, Rijkaard finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has confidence in his team. The key is that the players cannot be discouraged and must have the fighting spirit! Now it seems that just now
Those words had a good effect.
Subsequently, Rijkaard gave a detailed explanation and arrangement of the tactical arrangements for the second half of the game.
After arranging the arrangements for the second half of the game, Rijkaard paused, then looked at the small player who was sitting quietly in his seat, "Leo, you will warm up in a minute and prepare to play."
Sitting quietly in the seat, the Argentinian boy with fine hair and freckles on his face was stunned. He didn't expect that he would get so much playing time, "Oh, oh, okay, sir."
Looking at the nervous boy, Ronaldinho, who was sitting next to him, rubbed his hair and said, "Don't be nervous, you are the best, Leo."
This little Argentinian player named Leo Messi looked at Ronaldinho with reverence and nodded vigorously...
PS: The progress is going to be accelerated~ Please give me a monthly pass, that’s great.
