"Penalty kick! The referee Merkel from Germany whistled the penalty kick!"
"This is a penalty kick! The referee made a penalty kick!"
"Penalty kick! This is really a big blow to Sporting Gijon!"
Li Ang suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed to the sidelines angrily, and waved his fists in protest.
His team has not yet been defeated by Sporting Lisbon. The players have worked hard and everything is still under control, but they may have fallen at the hands of the referee!
He does not accept such a result, absolutely not!
Li Ang insisted that this was the referee's care for the host country. Grosso definitely did not commit a foul in that moment. He tackled the football first. This was a misjudgment!
As emotional as Li Ang was Sporting Lisbon head coach Peseiro, who also rushed out of the coaching bench and pumped his fist, but it was not in anger, but in celebration. To celebrate the penalty kick.
He didn't care whether it was Pinto diving or a real foul. He couldn't see clearly from his position. Anyway, the referee just awarded a penalty kick. This was Sporting Lisbon's opportunity to overtake the score again. In the first half
The score was exceeded again near the end of the game. This is really important for Sporting Lisbon!
The front door of Sporting Gijon is a mess.
The Gijon players were protesting the penalty, while Sporting Lisbon people were celebrating.
In the slow-motion replay, it is clearly shown that Grosso did indeed shovel the football first, and when the football was shoveled out by him, there was indeed physical contact with Pinto. But... is this level of physical contact enough?
It is unknown why Sa Pinto lost his center of gravity and fell. In short, Sa Pinto's fall was a bit exaggerated.
*************
In the VIP box, many Portuguese club presidents were congratulating Sporting Lisbon Club president Cunha Dias. The latter accepted the congratulations with a smile on his face. He enjoyed this feeling very much.
Having lost in the league before, Sporting Lisbon completely lost the opportunity to compete for the league championship. Under such circumstances, Lisbon is determined to win the UEFA Cup. For this reason, they did not hesitate to put aside their years of grudges and publicly called on the Portuguese football community to compete for Lisbon in the final.
Athletic cheering. The "Public Relations Statement" was officially announced on the official website before. Sporting Lisbon is promoting the image of "goodwill football" and "representing the Portuguese Super League in Europe". This is the first time in history to invite all Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Liga clubs.
A total of 36 club presidents gathered at the Alvalade Stadium.
Cunha Dias, the chairman of the Athletic Team, is quite elegant. The "Portuguese Final" initiated this time is an opportunity to resolve the conflict with the Portuguese domestic football. Due to the friction between each other's interests, the Portuguese professional league has continued to explode in recent years.
Scandals, ranging from stadium violence to bribery of referees, have been exposed by various teams against each other, causing many problems. Basically, all Portuguese teams responded enthusiastically to his proposal, even Benfica chairman Viai, who has been entangled in grievances for nearly a century
La also readily agreed. Currently, the only chairman who maintains an ambiguous attitude is Porto's old chairman for 28 years, the "Godfather of the North" da Costa. Many media speculated that it is because he is still involved in the "Golden Whistle Case" and
After winning two European awards in a row, he lost a large number of elite players such as Mourinho, Deco and Carvalho and won nothing. It is inevitable to be embarrassed. However, it is not ruled out that he suddenly changed his mind and appeared in the VIP stands at the last moment. This
It is also one of da Costa’s styles.
The final result was similar to the media's prediction. Da Costa came to the Alvalade Stadium at the last moment today. Just now Da Costa also expressed congratulations to Cunha Dias.
"This back door is very good." Da Costa joked.
Cunha's name happens to mean "going through the back door" in Portuguese. As the Athletic team can take advantage of the home court, "The Ball" laughed and said that he went through the back door to UEFA.
Obviously, even Lisbon himself believed that there was a certain factor in this penalty that the host country was taken care of.
*************
Grosso defended himself to the referee, indicating that he had not committed a foul, but the referee ignored him. He complained to the assistant referee, but received no response.
The referee's decision cannot be changed. Both the referee and the linesman agree that this is a foul, and this is the final penalty.
The protests from Sporting Gijon people were ineffective. The referee stood at the penalty spot with a serious expression and asked the Sporting Gijon players to leave. At the same time, he asked the Sporting Lisbon players to hurry up and take the penalty kick.
Sporting Gijon captain Hierro called all the players away. He knew that the penalty could not be changed. If he continued to pester the referee at this time, he would be given a card if he failed, which would make matters worse.
"The penalty call cannot be changed," D'Agostino said. "However, the slow motion shows that the penalty call is questionable. Sa Pinto's fall was too exaggerated."
"This is a blow to Sporting Gijon." Gonzalez said, "They can only blame Valencia for putting their hope in their goalkeeper!"
Sporting Lisbon's penalty kicker was Sa Pinto. After the Portuguese old man put the football away, he stepped back and prepared to take a shot.
Except for him and Sporting Gijon goalkeeper Valencia, all players from both sides were asked to leave the penalty area.
Referee Merkel glanced at the forward and goalkeeper, both nodded to him, and then Merkel blew the whistle.
Sa Pinto takes a run and shoots!
The Portuguese forward kicked to the left, and Valencia pounced on his left side. There was no doubt that he was going to score.
However, perhaps because he pursued the angle of his shot too much, Sa Pinto's shot hit the left post.
"Goalpost!"
The fans of Sporting Gijon burst into loud cheers, while the fans of Sporting Lisbon were silent...
The penalty kick was actually missed!
Many chairmen in the VIP box were immediately speechless. This scene was really embarrassing.
*************
"Sporting Lisbon wasted a great opportunity to overtake the score!"
"The goalpost rejected Sa Pinto's shot! Sporting Gijon escaped!"
On the sidelines, Li Ang jumped up and waved his fist: Yes, that's it, you can't even think of taking the penalty kick that was cheated!
God has eyes!
Missing this penalty was a big blow to Sporting Lisbon, but Sporting Gijon's morale was boosted.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score on the field was still one to one. Ledson took the lead for Sporting Lisbon. However, Ribery's wonderful goal equalized the score for Sporting Gijon, and Sporting Lisbon's
Near the end of the first half, a penalty kick was missed, which put the people of Sporting Gijon in a good mood at the end of the first half.
During the halftime break, whether in the locker room, at a beer stand in the stadium stands, in a bar, or in a taxi... everyone was discussing Ribery's equalizing goal with great interest. That goal
It was so beautiful. It equalized the score and directly stabilized the morale of the army.
Ribery's reputation has skyrocketed this season, and the Frenchman has become one of Sporting Gijon's favorite players. Fans love to see Ribery galloping, breaking, shooting and scoring on the left side of the pitch.
Li Ang stood at the door of the locker room. He did not interfere when the players were discussing Ribery's goal and the opponent's penalty kick, but he did not interfere. He thought this was a good situation and showed that the morale of the team was good.
Ribery's goal equalized the score, which greatly reduced the pressure on the team and gave them hope of victory.
Sporting Lisbon missed a penalty kick, which made Sporting Gijon people overjoyed. Some superstitious players even began to think that God was on Sporting Gijon's side! This is great.
*************
On the other side, Sporting Lisbon Club Chairman Dias came to the home team's locker room and encouraged the players to perform well in the second half and help Sporting Lisbon win the UEFA Cup championship trophy.
Subsequently, Sporting Lisbon head coach Peseiro's words of encouragement were more direct: As far as he knows, there are many scouts in the stands of the Alvalade Stadium today, and this is a good opportunity for Sporting Lisbon's talents to perform.
!
This sentence is indeed very useful, and many players' eyes radiate with brilliance.
Although Sporting Lisbon is the only club among the top three in Portugal that has not won the European Champions Cup, they are unique in terms of star training. The logos of Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto are eagle, lion and dragon respectively. From the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon
The "Lions" who came out include a series of stars such as Futre, Figo, Sa Pinto, Simao, Quaresma and C Ronaldo. Quaresma, Hugo Viana and C Ronaldo.
The transfer fee obtained by the three "little lions" for the club was as high as 40 million euros.
The Alcochet base located 40 kilometers away from Lisbon is Sporting Lisbon's "Youth Training Academy". This base covers an area of 25 hectares and is surrounded by beautiful fields. You can even see grazing cattle from the hotel room. "
The "Academy" includes 7 training fields, a game field with stands and a hotel, as well as facilities such as a library. Sporting Lisbon recruits talents from all over Portugal, Africa and South America, allowing them to receive the best training in the "Academy"
Football education. The academy maintains a size of 200 players, and allows 50 of them to undergo a week of closed training in sequence. At the same time, the players must also study hard, and Sporting Lisbon also provides educational conveniences.
In fact, this model is very similar to the "Ajax model" and is not the first of the Portuguese. But the difference is that unless the player's ability is extremely outstanding, Ajax only recruits young players around Amsterdam. And Sporting Lisbon
Young people come from all over the world, for example Ronaldo is from Madeira, which ensures that the club can get more talent resources.
Moreover, like Ajax, the Sporting Lisbon senior team is also very good at promoting young people. For example, the 18-year-old Moutinho got his first chance to play in the Portuguese Cup against Benfica in the middle of the league and immediately became the main player.
, even the national team coach Scolari said "he will be given a chance."
In today's game, Moutinho started the game, but his performance can only be said to be average. At this moment, hearing the head coach say this, Coutinho also gritted his teeth secretly. He must perform well in the second half of the game!
He wants to show those scouts and everyone that Moutinho is a genius!
*************
Li Ang waited for the players to chat and laugh for a while before he started to speak.
He repeatedly emphasized one word - patience.
"We have to be patient enough, because Sporting Lisbon is the host and they are extremely eager to win the championship trophy at home. A draw or even a penalty shootout is definitely what they try to avoid. The Portuguese's penalty kick level is also the same as yours in the first half.
I've seen it before." Li Ang said, and his last words caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.
"Sporting Lisbon definitely hopes to resolve the battle during regular game time, so they will definitely press out and attack. That's our chance then..."
Li Ang repeatedly emphasized patience, because he knows what Sporting Gijon lacks most, which is experience!
Sporting Lisbon is a frequent player in European competitions and has much more experience than Sporting Gijon.
Such a final competition is largely about who makes the fewest mistakes and who is more patient!
The game can easily get into a tug-of-war. At this time, it is time to compete with patience and perseverance.
*************
Before the second half of the game started, Inter Milan owner Moratti and club president Facchetti were communicating in a low voice in the VIP lounge of the Alvalade Stadium.
"Giacinto, tell me your opinions and impressions." Moratti asked team president Giacinto Facchetti.
With Li Ang leading Sporting Gijon to perform as well as ever, with the La Liga title in sight, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey both reaching the finals, Moratti is even more eager and eager to pursue Li Ang.
Moratti knows one thing, strike first to gain the upper hand. Not to mention whether Sporting Gijon can win the Triple Crown, the King's Cup championship is relatively low-gold. Let's not talk about it. There are only two left, La Liga champion and UEFA Cup champion.
, Li Ang's team can get one, which is enough to make the Chinese become a favorite in the eyes of many teams. By then, more giants will send invitations to Li Ang. What Inter Milan has to do is to have substance in others.
Be one step ahead of the sexual act.
"The on-the-spot command and adaptability are excellent." Facchetti said matter-of-factly, "Now it's time to watch the second half of the game. Some coaches are very good, but they can't handle the final!"
Facchetti’s meaning is very clear. Li Ang can lead the team to lead the La Liga standings. This shows that Li Ang leads the team in the long term. Then, the UEFA Cup final, such a European final, can be viewed from another aspect.
