Chapter 574 The European champion asks for a monthly ticket
Juan Carlos!
A person who no one expected appeared in front of the goal, and the winning goal was a push shot. The football flew into the goal guarded by Ricardo for the third time!
"Goooooooooooooooool!"
"Three to one! Three to one! Carlos sealed the victory for Sporting Gijon!"
"The suspense of the game is almost over! Sporting Gijon are only one step away from winning the UEFA Cup!"
"Two goals ahead. If there is no suspense, in ten minutes, Sporting Gijon will win the first European championship in the history of their club!"
"This is a historic goal! It can almost be a death sentence for Lisbon people!"
This goal was of great significance to this game and to the championship. The commentators in the commentary box became excited.
The Alvalade Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 50,000 people, was only cheered by more than 3,000 Sporting Gijon fans who came to the away game at this time. Sporting Lisbon fans were silent at this moment.
The Portuguese have been completely silent.
Everyone understands what this goal loss means to Sporting Lisbon: as time goes by, they can only watch the UEFA Cup champion step away step by step.
There was also dead silence on Sporting Lisbon's bench and coaching bench.
Pesero stood on the sidelines, staring at the court expressionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Whether he can win this championship is very important to Pesero. After failing to win the league, the UEFA Cup championship trophy is the last straw for Pesero. The runner-up is really bitter for Pesero. If there is no accident If so, he might be dismissed from get out of class.
*************
When Juan Carlos scored the third goal, Leon didn't jump up or yell excitedly.
He just raised his arms high and looked up at the sky.
What he could see was the night sky, the night sky of Lisbon. Under the illumination of floodlights, it looked like daytime. Only the stars in the night sky reminded people that this was night.
At this moment, Li Ang felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, like a hot and humid hot spring, nourishing his heart, but also like hot lava, extremely fierce.
It’s a whirlwind of emotions!
He did it!
Countless Chinese fans can only lead a European team to win the three major European Cups in CM games. Now, he has really done it!
UEFA Cup Champion!
If they get this championship trophy, they will be the kings of Europe!
And he, Li Ang, will also add the most shining star to his name: European champion coach!
It is true that there are still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. The Sporting Lisbon people will not be reconciled to the fate of defeat. They will still fight. However, Li Ang does not think that the Lisbon people have the ability to make a comeback!
The championship is his!
*************
When the game restarted, Li Ang began to make substitutions, replacing Albertini, who was in poor physical condition, and replaced him with the more impactful Modric.
When Albertini left the field, Leon gave him a warm hug and thanked the Italian veteran for his outstanding performance.
Albertini was also very happy, a little excited, and a little moved. When he was at AC Milan, the Milan team won the Serie A championship, the European Champions Cup, the Italian Cup, and the Toyota Cup.
The champion, in his club's glory book, only lacks a UEFA Cup championship trophy!
Now, in the twilight years of his career, he has left the Apennine Peninsula, Milan, which he loved deeply but also hurt him the most, and came to the Iberian Peninsula. In Italy, many people are saying that Demi is old and left.
During the Little World Cup, he went to Spain to "retire", but now, he is in Gijon, under the leadership of the young Chinese coach, and is about to win the UEFA Cup championship trophy. The last piece of the championship puzzle of his career has been completed!
This made Albertini unable to conceal his excitement.
"Demi, congratulations." Li Ang said with a smile.
Albertini smiled happily. He understood what the coach meant, "Thank you, thank you."
Three minutes later, Li Ang continued to mobilize his troops, and he replaced Di Natale with Marcos to strengthen the defense.
Although the ball should not be lost at this time, Li Ang still has to be careful.
*************
When Di Natale came off the field, he was also hugged and thanked by Leon.
Di Natale was also very excited and wanted to thank the coach!
This grassroots Italian shooter was also brought to Gijon from the Apennine Peninsula by Li Ang. This was a major turning point in the Italian forward's career. In Gijon, he was highly trusted and his performance became increasingly outstanding. With his outstanding performance,
Being selected for the Italian national team and becoming a true Italian international star, this can be said to be a triple jump for Di Natale.
"Well done! Antonio!" Leon patted Di Natale on the shoulder.
Antonio Di Natale was very touched by the gratitude conveyed by the coach. He felt that it was him who should say thank you. The coach gave him a stage that he never dreamed of.
"Wait to celebrate the victory, Antonio." Leon said to him with a smile.
Antonio Di Natale nodded vigorously.
*************
Ever since Carlos scored, Sporting Gijon fans at the Alvalade Stadium have been singing and dancing, and they are already celebrating the championship in advance: The excited Sporting Gijon fans can't wait, they will start celebrating from now on
champion.
Looking at the singing and dancing fans and the players on the field fighting for the first European championship trophy in the club's history, Li Ang suddenly felt very satisfied.
European champion!
Even if he leaves this team like this, he can feel free of guilt. Sporting Gijon took him in when he was at his lowest and gave him a chance. It only took him less than two seasons to return him to this team.
A glory that the team and club have never dared to achieve in its century-old history!
Thinking of the meeting with team owner Manuel Arango, Li Ang took a deep breath and had mixed feelings. He was about to win the UEFA Cup championship and he really wanted to consider leaving.
Before leaving, Li Ang felt that there was still something to do. He wanted to communicate with his old partner first, so as not to make the other party feel that he had been kept secret. After all, Banderas was recruited by him to be his assistant. Yu Qing
Of course, he has to answer to Banderas.
*************
"How do you feel?" Leon asked Banderas.
"Awesome!" Banderas said happily. A year ago, he was only the assistant coach of Real Madrid's under-17 youth team A. Now, although he is still only Li Ang's assistant, he won the UEFA Cup.
Championship trophy, Banderas can also be regarded as a championship coach.
"Yes." Li Ang nodded, "The feeling of winning the UEFA Cup is so wonderful. Pablo, have you ever wanted to go and taste the feeling of winning the European Champions Cup?"
"European Champions Cup champion?" Banderas was frightened. Now the UEFA Cup champion is just about to be won. Li Ang is already coveting the European Champions Cup champion. This span is really too big, and some - some
Unrealistic, "Li, with all due respect, the Champions League champion is too far away from Gijon. Our opponents in the UEFA Cup and our opponents in the Champions League are not at the same level at all."
During the entire UEFA Cup winning process, Sporting Gijon, in addition to encountering the already down-and-out Parma and the Russian Super League giant CSKA Moscow, was the final opponent Sporting Lisbon. These three teams are considered strong. However, in fact, these three teams are far away from each other.
The strength of the giants is still far away. Sporting Gijon will participate in the Champions League next season, but let's take a look at their possible opponents: Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich, Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, etc.
Serie A giants AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and other strong teams, as well as the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona from La Liga, Sporting Gijon, French Ligue 1 and Scottish Premiership
Sporting Gijon, a giant in the league, the Eredivisie, and the Portuguese Super League, wants to compete in the European Champions League. It can almost be said to be a dream. To put it simply, with Sporting Gijon’s heritage and strength, it wants to win the European Cup.
To win the Champions League and be successful within ten years is quite remarkable.
"It's difficult for Sporting Gijon to compete in the European Champions League in a short time." Li Ang shook his head.
Banderas was relieved when he heard that Li Ang had a clear understanding and was not dazzled by the victory. Then he immediately realized something. Since Li Ang also believed that Sporting Gijon would not be able to qualify for the European Champions Cup in the short term,
So, what did he mean by what he just said?
Could it be?!
Banderas suddenly had a guess in his mind. Is that the only possibility?
Banderas looked at Leon in shock.
Li Ang seemed to understand the meaning of his old partner's eyes. He nodded and patted Banderas on the shoulder, "Pablo, you have time to think about it. We are old partners and I need your help."
.”
Banderas was stunned, nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Li Ang who walked to the coaching bench to direct the game. He was still in a daze. The news was too explosive, even though he also knew Li Ang and the team owner.
Old Arango has conflicts, but Banderas still can't imagine that Li Ang will leave Sporting Gijon, because Banderas knows best how much effort Li Ang has put into this Sporting Gijon team, and he can't imagine that Li Ang will leave Sporting Gijon.
Why did you finally decide to leave the business you built...
Maybe it's the temptation of a wealthy family? Banderas can only guess this.
Then his mind was filled with this matter. Even if the UEFA Cup championship was close at hand, he could not enjoy the joy of the championship.
*************
Sporting Lisbon people are still making their final efforts.
Sporting Lisbon is a typical Latin team, and is better than Sporting Gijon in controlling the ball. However, due to the height restriction and lack of points in the middle to grab the ball from the wings, Sporting Lisbon concentrated almost all its energy along the edge of the penalty area in this game.
On the breakthrough. Although Ledson's goal relied on this method, the too monotonous line made it easier for the opponent to deploy defense, constantly destroying the penetration efforts of Sporting Lisbon people.
The result of Sporting Lisbon's last efforts - the closest moment to a goal occurred in the 89th minute of the game, when Rogerio's inward shot hit the post.
Then Sporting Gijon goalkeeper Valencia directly hugged the football and threw the ball to launch a quick counterattack.
Sporting Lisbon defender Roosevelt Nkahire was forced to commit a tactical foul.
Roosevelt Nkashire received his second yellow card in the game. Two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off with a red card.
This red card completely destroyed the fighting spirit of Lisbon people.
Ten against eleven, still two goals behind, with three or four minutes left in the game including injury time, there was no way they were afraid of a comeback.
In the final stage of the game, neither Sporting Gijon nor Sporting Lisbon were interested in continuing the game.
Sporting Gijon couldn't wait to cheer for the championship, but Sporting Lisbon didn't want to challenge.
Although Pesero didn't want to give up, there was nothing he could do.
As soon as the referee Merkel saw this situation, with more than 40 seconds left in the three-minute injury time, he blew the whistle to end the game.
*************
When the whistle sounded, the Sporting Gijon players and coaches who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the stadium.
Some of the Sporting de Gijon players ran wildly to celebrate their victory, while others knelt down excitedly with tears streaming down their faces to welcome the European Championship trophy!
Li Ang rushed out of the coaching bench and rushed to the stands of Sporting Gijon fans, waving his arms and shouting.
What responded to him was the crazy cheers and shouts of the fans.
"plum!"
"plum!"
"plum!"
Banderas was also very excited. He saw this scene after he hugged Scott Terry. Others may have thought that Li Ang was excited after the team won the UEFA Cup. However, Banderas saw this from Li Ang.
I felt an unusual meaning in the previous words.
"Is this already starting to say goodbye?" Banderas thought to himself.
Li Ang was then rushed up and surrounded by excited players.
"What are you going to do?" Li Ang shouted, "No -"
The players ignored the coach's protests, picked him up, threw him into the air, and then caught him again, three times!
"Secure connection!" Li Ang shouted in panic.
Then, when Li Ang stood on the ground and felt relieved, his hair was already messy and his suit was wrinkled, as if he had been molested.
The players ran away long ago because they didn't want to bear the coach's 'wrath'.
In the live broadcast, the excited voice of the commentator was loudly played:
"Congratulations to Sporting Gijon, congratulations to Liang, congratulations to them, they defeated the host Sporting Lisbon three to one! A new king in the history of the UEFA Cup is born! They are now the UEFA Cup champions! They are the European champions! Congratulations to them!
"
Li Ang adjusted his suit, scratched his hair randomly, looked around the huge Alvalade Stadium, opened his arms, and embraced the first European championship in his coaching career!
