Chapter 424: Iniesta (Monthly Pass 1050 Plus Update)
“Goooooooooooooooooooooool!”
"2-0! Sporting Gijón scored again! They are now two goals ahead of Barcelona!"
"It's incredible, Barcelona besieged Sporting Gijón but never scored, and Sporting Gijón's counterattack was successful!"
"That's speed! That's efficiency!"
"Barcelona are really in trouble now! Sporting Gijón, who are leading by two goals, can play defensive counterattacks with more peace of mind!"
"Hooray!"
"Milito!
Sporting Gijón's fans cheered excitedly and celebrated, being able to lead Barcelona by two goals away from home, looking at this situation, Sporting Gijón has a good chance of winning the game! They have won Real Madrid away from home before, and if they can win away again this time, they will beat Real Madrid and Barcelona again this season! What a feat?!
This is a happiness that fans of Sporting Gijón, who were still in La Liga last season, could never dream of!
***********
The Argentinian scored again, he scored twice...... We've extended our lead to two goals!" Gijón's commentator was a little incoherent with excitement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
'We couldn't score and the Gijón gave us another fatal blow at this time...... It's cruel for a Barcelona player who is always looking for a goal......" said the Catalan commentator with frustration.
In the chairman's box at Camp Nou, Barcelona President Laporta's face was quite ugly, and Barcelona actually fell behind 0-2, which made him very faceless.
And Moji, who was sitting next to him, stared at the venue, and then leaned back in his chair, his eyes shining, not knowing what he was thinking.
On Barcelona's coach's side, Rijkaard's expression was quite solemn, and he knew that for Barcelona, the last thing he wanted to see happened, and Barcelona was facing a difficult situation.
On the coach's side of Sporting Gijón.
"Well done, well done!" shouted Leon happily, and he couldn't make any other sound out of his mouth than that. It was a goal that thrilled him.
Such an unbridled celebration was somewhat unfriendly and did not fit his label of an 'old friend of Barcelona', but he did not consider himself an 'old friend of Barcelona' of Rausch.
As for Barcelona being angry, he doesn't care about the feelings of the Barcelonans not far away and the Barcelona fans in front of the TV.
When it's time to be proud, you have to revelry and celebrate, so why bother with other people's feelings?
The tactical intent he laid out at half-time was all achieved, and they held on for the most difficult fifteen minutes after the start of the second half, and then used a counter-attack to score another goal to extend the score to 2-0!
If it was 1-0, Li Ang still had reservations about winning the game in his heart, but now, he has confidence in his heart, and in this game, victory is just around the corner!
***********
Rijkaard got up from his seat with an ugly face, and Sporting Gijón was more difficult than he expected.
In fact, Rijkaard has already attached more importance to Sporting Gijon, and has not despised it because it is only a promoted polo team, even in the face of the illusion of 'showing weakness' created by Leon before the game, Rijkaard still maintains a trace of sobriety.
However, at this moment, Rijkaard deeply felt that he still underestimated this opponent very much.
Li Ang's Sporting Gijón, the defense is almost leakless, such a tight defense of the whole team, the whole team needs to strictly implement the strategic intent of the head coach, everyone is twisted into a rope, and can adhere to the defensive intensity for more than an hour, which is not easy, many teams can not do it.
In attack, the sharp speed and efficiency of the counterattack shown by Sporting Gijón are even more shocking.
Rijkaard will not be naïve and serious, Sporting Gijon's two counter-attacks are an element of luck, and this is definitely a well-drilled counter-attacking routine by Sporting Gijon.
Adjustments have to be made.
In the seventy-first minute of the game, Barcelona called for a substitution.
The team's Mexican defender Marquez was replaced, and 20-year-old youngster Andres Iniesta came on as a substitute.
Replacing Max, the only defensive barrier in the midfield, and replacing an attacking player, Barcelona is going to give it a go!
***********
Barcelona's substitution caught Leon's mind, and he looked at Andres Iniesta, who ran onto the pitch, thoughtfully.
"Young Iniesta. "Leon muttered to himself, before he was 'reborn' in 2016, when Barcelona were in the midst of a renewal, Puyol retired, Xavi left, and the 32-year-old Iniesta was already Barcelona's captain. Now Iniesta is still immature.
"Barcelona are going to attack desperately. Banderas said to Leon.
Leon nodded, Barcelona is going to work hard, remove Max, there is almost no real defender in the entire Barcelona midfield, Barcelona is going to attack desperately.
Leon is not afraid of the opponent's attack, in fact, he welcomes Barcelona with his hands raised when they want to fight for their lives.
Barcelona were more adventurous and perhaps one step closer to scoring, but, at the same time, Barcelona would have more holes when they pressed.
More importantly, Marquez's departure also means that the defensive strength of Barcelona's midfield has been extremely weakened, before Sporting Gijón's counterattack, Barcelona and Max formed the first line of defense in the midfield, and now, this is not a solid defensive line, which means that once Sporting Gijón gets the opportunity to attack, it will be easier to break into the hinterland of Barcelona!
With Andres Iniesta on the pitch, the youngster breathed a breath of life into Barcelona.
Deco crossed the ball after his break down the right flank, and Andres Iniesta and Xavi made a wall-to-wall break before starting to break through with the ball.
***********
'Andres Iniesta is still dribbling the ball, which is not wise, he looks like he's going to get caught up in the Gijon defence. Gonzalez said.
Leon's eyes narrowed, and he thought of a scene at Euro 2012, when Andres Iniesta dribbled the ball alone, caught the attention of as many as five Italian defenders, and then delivered a beautiful through ball. After the game, Iniesta was surrounded by five defenders alone, but the photo with a calm and confident expression was widely circulated.
Barcelona is trying to use Andres Iniesta's individual skills and abundant physical strength to attract the defense of Sporting Gijón and create opportunities for the likes of Ronaldinho and Deco. Leon immediately saw Rijkaard's substitution intentions.
Sure enough.
Andres Iniesta kept the ball firmly at his feet and attracted the attention of Marcos and Branislavic to the defence, but he continued to dribble the ball without any intention of passing.
Under the pressure of Marcos and Ivanovic, the Barcelona youngster still skillfully controlled the ball at his feet, which forced Marcos to try to foul, but Iniesta pulled the ball beautifully, dodged Marcos's tackle, and then saw Pepe also attracted to him, and suddenly passed the ball out.
Ronaldinho won the ball, he deftly dunked the ball to avoid Carlos's steal, and then rubbed the ball up before Carlos' second counter-attack arrived.
"Overhead pass!"
Samuel Eto'o came out of the crowd and didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and fired a half-turned volley.
It was a high-quality half-turn volley!
Sporting Gijón were taken aback by Eto'o's shot, but fortunately, Sporting Gijón's goalkeeper Valencia was highly focused and showed a high level of form today, only to see him make a beautiful leap sideways save and save Eto'o's shot with the palm of his hand in the air.
***********
Eto'o's shot was saved by Valencia, Barcelona played a beautiful attack, Andres Iniesta's technique at his feet was amazing, Ronaldinho's over-the-top pass was imaginative, Eto'o's subsequent shot was also wonderful, it was Barcelona's most threatening attack in the second half!"
Samuel Eto'o, who had not scored, was a little annoyed with his head in his hands. Milito has scored two goals today, which is a huge boost for the proud Cameroonian who is so hungry to score.
The stands burst into applause from Barcelona fans.
After more than an hour of suffocation, they finally saw Barcelona's beautiful attacking organization.
Rijkaard also applauded from the sidelines, applauding the team's attack, and he was pleased with Iniesta's performance after he came on the pitch, and he gave Iniesta the task of finding and tearing apart Sporting Gijon's defense with a breakthrough to create opportunities for other teammates, and the lad was very happy with her first breakthrough after coming on the field.
Rijkaard was satisfied.
