Chapter 325 Live - Chapter 326 The most difficult kind of opponent

"Viewers, welcome to the seventh round of the 2004/2005 Spanish Primera League. Deportivo La Coruna hosts Sporting Gijón www.biquge.info. Duan Xuan said.

"Sporting Gijón suffered a personnel crisis in this game, Juan Mata was injured, Carlos was suspended, and Coach Leon's side faced a strong Deportivo La Coruna in this game, and the situation was not optimistic. Liu Jianhong said.

The match between Sporting Gijón and Deportivo La Coruna, CCTV chose to broadcast it live, which was also the first time CCTV broadcast a match for Sporting Gijón since the opening of the new season of La Liga.

In fact, the provider of La Liga's live broadcast signal originally provided the Barcelona derby between Espanyol and Barcelona at home, but CCTV finally communicated with the other party and asked for the match between Sporting Gijón and Deportivo La Coruna.

Because of the previous CCTV live broadcast of several La Liga games, the ratings are relatively average, on the one hand, because the La Liga game is too late, and the earliest game will not start until after zero o'clock, and the other is that the popularity of La Liga at this time cannot be compared with Serie A and the Premier League. In addition, fans are very much looking forward to seeing the game of Sporting Gijón and have called CCTV to ask for a live broadcast of the game of Sporting Gijón coached by Li Ang.

And this game between Sporting Gijón and Deportivo La Coruna was kicked off at 2:45 a.m. Beijing time, and it was already relatively late, CCTV also wanted to see if the live broadcast of Sporting Gijón's game during this time period would see if the ratings would be improved compared with other games, and if the ratings were good, they would try their best to get the live broadcast signal of Sporting Gijón's game.

"The game is about to start and we have the starting line-up for both sides. Deportivo La Coruna's roster is unexpected, continuing the lineup from the previous round, and now Deportivo has a full lineup, and Super Laco is starting to show their strength!"

On the TV screen, the starting line-up of Deportivo La Coruna began to be played:

Goalkeepers: Molina;

Defence: Pablo, Martin Cesar, Andrade, Capdrera;

Midfielders: Mauro Silva, Belleron, Victor Sanchez, Sergio;

Forwards: Pandiani, Luke;

“…… Mauro Silva, Victor, Sergio, Bellerón, Pandiani, Luke......" Duan Xuan said after taking a deep breath, "The strongest squad of Deportivo La Coruna has been sent. ”

***********

"Okay, let's take a look at Sporting Gijón...... Because of Mata's injury and Carlos' ban, the lineup on Sporting Gijón's side has changed a lot. Liu Jianhong raised her voice.

"First of all, there are changes at the back, in the right-back position, the young Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic is back on the bench, and Coach Leon chooses Dorado to start, and it seems that against strong opponents, he still chooses to trust the experienced Dorado. ”

"In terms of midfield, Leon arranged Marcos to start, this young player who performed very steadily in the second division last season, will take on the defensive responsibility of Sporting Gijón in the midfield today, in addition, the young player Mata was injured and absent, which also gave Croatian teenager Modric the opportunity to start, unlike Mata, Modric has a certain defensive ability, which can relieve the pressure on the veteran Albertini to a certain extent!"

Meanwhile, Sporting Gijón's starting lineup for today was played on the screen:

Goalkeepers: Valencia;

Defence: Dorado, Hierro, Pepe, Grosso;

Midfielders: Marcos, Albertini, Modric, Ribery;

Forwards: Di Natale, Diego Milito;

"Sporting Gijón's squad is still too thin compared to Deportivo La Coruna, which has a lot of big names. Liu Jianhong said, at this time, the camera gave a close-up of the away team's coach's seat on the sidelines, and Li Ang stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly.

***********

When Irueta was given the starting line-up for Sporting Gijon before the game, he saw two changes to Sporting Gijón above, and he was a little impressed with Luka Modric, the Croatian youngster who has come off the bench on a number of occasions this season and has scored.

However, Iruetta's impression of Modric is limited to this, and it is obvious that in his eyes, there is a big gap between the strength of a young man like Modric and the stars of Deportivo in his hands.

As for Marcos, who started today, Irueta did not pay too much attention, on the one hand, because Marcos has only been given two substitute appearances so far this season, and this player is characterized by a defensive defense in the central midfield, which is rarely brilliant and not too eye-catching at all.

Five minutes into the game. Deportivo La Coruna are very aggressive because they kick off first, they can use their strength advantage to keep the football on their side, and possession means that the initiative is in their hands for the time being.

Another reason for Deportivo LaCoruna's fierce offensive is the absence of Carlos, Marcos is not the type of sweeping player, he is characterized by a steady defense in the middle, so that it is easy to give the opponent space to attack, if it is Carlos, he is crazy to sweep in the midfield, which is relatively more able to cause chaos to the opponent's midfield organization.

As for Modric, the Croatian youngster who got the chance to start for the first time looked a little nervous today.

***********

Belleron was on the ball and he was facing interference from Luka Modric.

The Spanish midfielder slammed the ball to his left as if intending to break through to him, but when Modric's center of gravity was drawn to him, he pulled the ball beautifully with the inside of his foot and flicked past Modric.

However, Bellerón wanted to move on, and one foot came over and the tip of his foot touched the football, which bounced off the turf and went out of the touchline, the Deportivo sideline.

"Cheer up!" Albertini came up and patted Modric on the shoulder.

Modric gritted his teeth deeply, and the manager asked him to protect Albertini, but now he needs Albertini to help him fill in the gaps, which makes the Croatian youngster feel a little ashamed.

Leon saw this scene in the dugout, and he shouted at Modric, "Relax, what are you nervous about?"

Leon shouted in Croatian, and Modric immediately understood, and then he turned his head to look, and saw the manager jumping on the sidelines, "Nervous!"

Being scolded like this, Modric clenched his fists hard, took two deep breaths, and actually felt better.

Chapter 326 The most difficult kind of opponent

'Luka Modric was a little out of shape for the first five minutes. His position allowed Deportivo players to break through on a number of occasions. Dagstino, a commentator on Spanish national television, said.

'It was the Croatian's first start and he was a little nervous. Gonzalez said, quipping, "Hey, boy, you can't do this, Coach Leon was watching from the sidelines, didn't you see him jumping in a hurry just now?"

With his words, the director once again replayed the scene of Li Ang jumping and shouting on the sidelines just now.

"He's under a lot of pressure. ”

"That's right, Deportivo started with an offensive that made Coach Leon's ass out of the dugout. Dagstino said with a smile.

Belleron pulled the ball beautifully and tried to break through Modric again, however, this time, Modric showed his ferocious side, a sliding tackle, and brought Belleron down with the ball.

The referee verbally warned Luka Modric, which caused a lot of displeasure among the Deportivo people.

Then, Belleron's free-kick went straight to the goal, and the ball crossed a wonderful arc and slightly missed the right post, shocking Li Ang into a cold sweat.

"That's not going to work. "Leon gritted his teeth, the team has been passive, conceding goals sooner or later, and must fight back.

***********

Sporting Gijón attacked Deportivo La Coruna for the first time of the game in the eleventh minute of the game.

Pandiani received a pass from Sergio in front, and he turned and, after a slight adjustment, fired a low shot.

After the ball left his foot, in the middle of the flight, Belleron suddenly stretched out a kick and the ball changed direction.

This made Sporting Gijón goalkeeper Valencia almost despair, and when Pandiani shot, Valencia made a judgment and made a save, and now, the ball has changed direction and flew to the other side, and there is nothing he can do.

"Hierro, Hierro, he's where he should be!"

In front of the goal line, a man appeared there, it was Hierro!

He prevented the ball from crossing the line, and not only that, the former Real Madrid captain did not panic and cleared the ball with a big foot, but directly handed the football to Albertini, who retreated to the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Albertini thought about his next move as he received the ball, and he played a long pass from the back.

Up front, Diego Milito didn't jump up and fight for Martin Cesar.

The Argentine shooter was smart enough to run back against the ball, and when the ball fell, he jumped up slightly and pressed the ball down with his chest, and then pressed his right foot to firmly buckle the ball that was about to bounce to the ground.

Martín Cesar pushed him from behind, but Milito managed to keep the ball at his feet.

After the football was under control, Milito made a gesture to turn around, but instead gave the ball to Di Natale, who came to pick him up, and then turned around and ran into the penalty area.

At this time, the shortcomings of Deportivo La Coruna's central defender Martin Cesar's slow turn, which Leon had highlighted before the game, were exposed.

Di Natale sent the ball over the top, and when Milito received the ball, Martín Cesar had just turned around.

***********

"Beautiful! Sporting Gijón's counterattack is fast!"

Leon also craned his neck to look at the court, he was still talking about counterattacking just now, and now this is a perfect opportunity to counterattack. Milito only needed to take two more steps and get into the box.

Then, he saw two men rushing towards him, one of whom was rushing towards Ribery who was in the air cutting position, and the other man was extremely ferocious and shoveling from the side.

While shoveling the soccer ball out, he also knocked Milito to the ground as if he were cutting down a tree.

"Fucking foul!" Leon roared from the sidelines.

The referee simply pointed to the touchline to indicate that it was a touchline ball.

Milito got up and protested to the referee, who simply shook his finger at him and pointed to his own eyes. It means that he sees it very clearly and there is no foul!

Li Ang was scolding on the sidelines, obviously dissatisfied with the referee's decision. For Sporting Gijon, it would be a great opportunity to score if they could get a set-piece up front, and they have set-piece maestro Albertini in their squad.

It was Brazilian veteran Mauro Silva who intercepted Milito.

***********

Li Ang glanced at this veteran, but he didn't expect this old guy to be so active. Then he glanced again at Pablo, who had just pounced on Ribery.

He shook his head, the most disgusting thing is a team like Deportivo La Coruna, who is very good in attack and very good in defense. Such an opponent is very difficult. He is not like Real Madrid, Real Madrid advocates attack, and the most terrible thing is their attacking ability, but defensively, Real Madrid has not done well.

Deportivo have been doing well defensively, as can be seen from their back-up defense this time.

Watching Laco's game, the most intuitive feeling is that Mauro Silva and right-back Pablo are everywhere on the pitch.

Needless to say, Pablo is an absolute tough guy, decisive in defense and fierce. Like a leopard.

And Mauro Silva, a Brazilian, Leon even feels that he is the strongest single defender in Brazilian history, with very strong tackles, accurate timing of tackles, and it is difficult for opponents who are entangled by him to handle the ball comfortably. The anticipation and interception of the opponent's passing line is also very accurate, not tall, but the bounce is good in the midfield often fights for the top successfully, in the 1994 World Cup, the combination of him and Dunga is the key to the Brazilian team's dominance on the field, and the final against Italy disrupted the opponent's more than a dozen attacks, making Baggio, Donadoni and others extremely depressed. His absence from the '98 World Cup due to injury and Dunga's declining form made Brazil's midfield control much worse.

Another awesome aspect of Mauro Silva is that he is extremely solid in possession of the ball, opponents often have to foul to break the ball from his feet when he is in possession, the accuracy of the ball and the overall situation are also very good, and there are few unsolicited mistakes in passing, in this regard, Leon feels that Mauro Silva is very similar to Keane of Manchester United.

For example, Deportivo won away at Real Madrid in the 2002 Copa del Rey final, Mauro Silva was 34 years old at the time, but he was unusually outstanding against Real Madrid's midfield masters, rarely made mistakes in possession of the ball, and was extremely tough in defense.

And now Mauro Silva, who is thirty-six years old, is still so fierce.

Then, Sporting Gijón's touchline ball, Ribery received the ball, dribbled along the wing, tried to get rid of Pablo's entanglement, and finally barely passed the ball, and the football was obtained by Deportivo goalkeeper Molina.

Depend on!

Li Ang scolded in his heart, in the face of such a Deportivo La Coruna, it is difficult for Sporting Gijon's offense to be effective, and even if you want to defend and counterattack to steal chickens, it has become extremely difficult.

If they can't put La Coruna under offensive pressure, with the attacking play that Deportivo La Coruna showed after the opening, Sporting Gijón's goal could come under new threat at any time.

However, with Pablo and Mauro Silva present, it will be very difficult for Sporting Gijón to tear apart Deportivo Deportivo defence!

He had to find a solution as soon as possible.
