"Diego Milito! This 25-year-old Argentine striker played for Genoa, the Italian second division team, last season. Leon brought him to Gijon and gave him his trust. Now he is the number one player of Sporting Gijon.
The striker, before the injury, his number of goals had reached 17, and now he has scored his 18th goal in the league!" D'Agostino was full of praise for Milito.
"For this Argentinian striker, this is his season of fame. In the top scorer list, he is second only to Eto'o and Forlan, and the gap is very small. He still has hope to compete for the league's Golden Boot." Gonzalez
Si said.
And just as Gonzalez suffered, on the current La Liga scorer list, the number one ranking is Barcelona's Cameroon striker Eto'o, with 20 goals, and then there is Villarreal's Uruguayan striker
Diego Forlan, he scored 19 goals. Now, Milito has scored 18 goals. The gap is really very small. This late-blooming Argentine striker really has a chance.
To compete for the throne of La Liga's top scorer.
At this time, the previous goal was replayed over and over again on the TV screen, and the commentator was full of praise for Milito's running position and sprint: "... He is a real killer in the penalty area, he just got rid of it like that
Barcelona captain Puyol completed a diving header before Puyol. The Barcelona captain was completely confused by his movement! Goalkeeper Valdez was also confused by Di Natale, and the Italian's movement was also confused.
Very smart! His forward movement attracted the attention of other defenders, including goalkeeper Valdes! And Mata, his dribbling and passing were wonderful. After coming on as a substitute, this young man immediately integrated into the game. Gijon
What the Athletic team showed in this attack is that their offense is sharp and purposeful, their passing is purposeful, and their movement is also very purposeful. From Carlos stealing the ball to Modric's beautiful score
The ball, Mata's breakthrough, pass, Di Natale's movement, Diego Milito's header... What a beautiful offensive coordination!"
***********
In the stands of the El Molinon Stadium, some people saw Milito's goal with gleaming eyes. Ever since Milito came to Sporting Gijon, was entrusted with important tasks by Liang, and continued to score goals, he
It attracted the attention of some teams. As Milito's number of goals continued to rise and he once led the scorer list, he received more attention. The media revealed that some wealthy clubs were already inspecting the Argentine striker.
Today's game is the first-place battle between Sporting Gijon and Barcelona. Milito's return from injury is regarded by some teams as a good opportunity to inspect Milito. They want to see what the Argentinian can do after experiencing injuries.
Can the shooter continue his hot scoring streak? Now, they saw the Argentinian's goal, a very beautiful goal with great significance!
"A very outstanding player who can serve as the team's offensive fulcrum. What is worth noting is that he is not a traditional center forward. His skills are quite comprehensive. In addition to shooting, he is also quite good at protecting the ball, dribbling and playing with the ball.
He's good enough to watch, and he can still get ahead of others from time to time. The most important thing is that he has excellent mental quality! He is definitely a great scene man." A scout wrote this passage in his notebook. This evaluation can be said to be quite good.
Taller.
Li Ang sat back on the coaching bench and still couldn't help admiring his favorite general. In Li Ang's view, Diego Milito was definitely a seriously underestimated player. In the original history, until he joined Inter Milan
Only then was he truly considered a top star. By that time, Milito was already thirty years old.
In Li Ang's view, players like Milito can become successful early if they have a good opportunity. Now, he has given Milito this opportunity, and Milito's performance also makes him happy. In addition, the most important thing is
Yes, Milito has high professional quality and trains hard, so he can maintain his condition for a long time. He is not very fast, but he has a high football IQ and can be used as a final weapon to score. In addition, his final pass as a fulcrum is also excellent.
The Argentinian played a very important role in Li Ang's offensive tactics. It can also be said that Milito was activated in advance because Li Ang was under his command!
At this time, the players who had finished celebrating the goal ran past the coach's bench and returned to their positions, where Li Ang shouted: "Continue to attack! Continue! Don't relax, focus!"
Li Ang is very aware of the impact of this goal on Barcelona. It is conceivable that the Barcelona people will attack crazily afterwards. At this time, Sporting Gijon can choose to be conservative, but Li Ang still insists on continuing to attack. In his eyes, at this time
Barcelona is already at the end of its tether. Under such a situation, Sporting Gijon is fully capable of attacking Barcelona!
Then, Li Ang called Juan Carlos to his side and quickly conveyed the latest tactical instructions: "Pay attention to Barcelona's counterattack. If they play long passes, don't be afraid. If you attack from the midfield, steal their ball."
Pass the ball directly to Modric and tell the Croatians to play fast and continue our tactics. The offense is simple and efficient. We will fight their counterattack and try to score another goal!! At the same time, tell Di Natale and Mata to let them
Always be on the lookout for opportunities to counterattack.”
Carlos nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After hearing the coach's instructions, he quickly turned around and ran back to the court.
***********
After doing all this, Li Ang turned around and walked back to the coaching bench, picked up the mineral water bottle, twisted it, but did not unscrew it. Then after finally unscrewing it, he did not drink the water, but clenched the bottle tightly, and the water in the bottle was squeezed out.
Out.
Banderas glanced at Leon, and he could feel the nervousness and excitement of his old partner: If they win this game, they will be five points ahead of Barcelona! There are still six rounds left in the league.
Next, five points will mean that Sporting Gijon is very close to the league championship! No wonder Liang is so excited, even Banderas is also excited and his heartbeat is racing at this time - La Liga throne!
The water in the bottle spilled out and wet Li Ang's shoes. Only then did he realize that he had not drank the water, so he quickly tightened the bottle cap. He had no intention of drinking water just now. It seemed that he was just nervous.
Only then did Banderas ask: "With this goal, are we one step closer to victory?"
"No, it's too early to say victory now," Li Ang said.
"ah?"
"Unless the game is over and we win, I will really feel relieved. This goal will make Barcelona people crazy. This is a Barcelona that is extremely eager to win the championship. It is scary for them to go crazy."
What Li Ang said is definitely not nonsense. The current Barcelona team is definitely extremely hungry for championship honors. In recent seasons, Real Madrid and Valencia have taken turns winning the La Liga championship, while Barcelona has been sinking. Now it is difficult to see it.
At the dawn of revival, the league championship was originally regarded as theirs. Under such circumstances, how could the Barcelona people be willing to accept failure?!
***********
In fact, as Li Ang said, after the game restarted, the Barcelona people launched an almost crazy attack.
And it didn't take long for the Barcelona people to reap the rewards.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Ronaldinho was in control of the ball. Facing Pepe's defense, he pulled the ball horizontally, used his left foot as the axis, half-turned on the spot, and attempted to break through to the left, and then
After dunking back, Pepe was a little embarrassed by him and couldn't keep up with Ronaldinho's rhythm. Ivanovic came over to help. At this time, Ronaldinho passed the ball and he
The ball was supposed to pass between Ivanovic and Pepe. However, Pepe reacted quickly and twisted his body forcefully. The football hit Pepe and bounced to the side. Ivanovic
Vic quickly used his big foot to clear the ball away.
However, Ronaldinho raised his right hand and looked at the referee while shouting.
The referee's whistle sounded, and he ran over and pointed to the penalty spot!
"Penalty kick! The referee Marienko awarded a penalty kick! He whistled the penalty kick. What happened?!"
"Not just a penalty kick, the referee also showed Pepe a yellow card! This is the Portuguese's second yellow card in today's game! Red card! Sure enough, the referee showed Pepe a red card! Sporting Gijon's center back changed from two yellow cards to one
Hong was sent off! At the 83rd minute of the game, a dramatic change occurred!"
Pepe tried his best to defend himself and tried to get the referee to take back the penalty, but the referee looked serious and shook his head while pointing to the sidelines, signaling Pepe to leave the field quickly.
***********
"Fuck his grandma!" Li Ang cursed on the sidelines.
With a score of 3 to 1, Sporting Gijon was in sight of victory, but at this time something unexpected happened and they were whistled for a penalty kick. Of course, this is not the end of the world, but with a penalty kick and a red card, Pepe was sent off.
It's a huge blow for Sporting Gijon.
Li Ang was cursing angrily, while Rijkaard rushed out of the coaching bench with an excited look on his face. This accident gave the Dutch hope.
The slow motion showed that when Ronaldinho passed the ball, Pepe moved his body to block it. His hands subconsciously stretched out. The football hit Pepe's right hand and then bounced away. The referee was far away.
The incident happened very close, you can see it clearly...
The referee's decision could not be changed, and Pepe walked off the court feeling frustrated and sad.
"Coach, I..." Pepe was very sad, quite sad. If the team lost the victory because of his handball and being sent off, he would be the team's sinner.
"You did a great job!" Li Ang hugged Pepe hard, "Go to the locker room to take a shower, and then wait to celebrate the victory!"
"Are we really going to win again?" Pepe asked.
"Yes." Li Ang patted Pepe on the shoulder and said with a wink, "If possible, you'd better prepare champagne..."
Assistant coach Scott Rui sent Pepe away who was so sad that he almost cried. Liang had no time to continue complaining about his bad luck. He shouted loudly and called the team's captain Hierro over.
"Coach." Hierro's expression was solemn.
"Three defenders!" Li Ang said with a very serious expression, "You are in the middle, let Grosso and Ivanovic move closer to the center, and let Modric retreat relatively!"
Hierro nodded and asked, "Recover the defense?"
"Pay special attention to the defense, but that doesn't mean being conservative!" Li Ang shook his head, "Attack! Attack when you have the chance! Barcelona people will be crazy, they attack like crazy. Fernando, do you know what is the biggest blow to the opponent?
?”
Hierro shook his head.
"When they are at their craziest, give them a head-on blow! Make them completely despair!" Li Ang's eyes flashed, "Go ahead and tell them to find opportunities and seize them! Score goals!"
Li Ang's confidence greatly infected Hierro. The former Real Madrid captain nodded vigorously and ran back to the court to convey the coach's confidence and tactical intentions to the players.
At this moment, cheers from the Barcelona people came from the field.
Barcelona penalty kick.
Eto'o stood at the penalty spot and took the penalty kick. He successfully deceived Sporting Gijon's goalkeeper Valencia and scored the penalty kick!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooool!"
"The goal is in! Eto'o scores the penalty kick! Two to three! Now the Barcelona people are only one goal behind the Gijon people! There are almost ten minutes left in the game. It seems that it is not easy to equalize the score or even take the lead.
But the important thing is that Barcelona now has the upper hand!”
The Sporting Gijon players on the field were a little frustrated and worried. At this time, the team captain Hierro gathered everyone together and conveyed the head coach's tactical arrangements and at the same time conveyed the head coach's confidence to everyone.
"The coach said that Barcelona people will attack like crazy, and the current situation makes them crazy!" Hierro said.
When everyone heard this, some looked worried and some sighed.
"But do you want to know what else the coach said?" Hierro said.
Everyone looked at Captain Hierro in surprise and curiosity.
"The coach asked me, do you know what is the biggest blow to the opponent?" Hierro said, he shook his head, "I shook my head and said I don't know."
"Then, he said, the biggest blow is to hit your opponent in the head when they are at their craziest! This will make them desperate!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up!
"Guys! Victory is right in front of us, right on our feet!" Hierro's voice was strong. "If we win this game, we will be closer to the championship! That is the league championship, a trophy that many people will never be able to touch in their lifetime.
! Now, I have won many league championships in Real Madrid, but this time, I am still very eager. What about you?!"
What responded to him was everyone's gnashing of teeth and fiery eyes.
At this time, the referee had to come over to dissuade the Sporting Gijon people from holding a "battlefield meeting". The Barcelona people were already protesting and they wanted to kick off quickly.
"Look here, look here!" The players spread out and prepared to stand in their respective formations, but they heard the roar of the coach on the sidelines. They turned to look and saw their head coach standing on the sidelines.
He flipped upside down and landed firmly on the ground, then smiled widely... and made a very silly V-shaped gesture.
An action and behavior that everyone could not imagine. However, this somewhat inexplicable action, as well as that bright smile, and that silly victory gesture, were like the brilliant sunshine, dispersing the dark clouds in everyone's hearts...
