Chapter 232: First Round! (Second Update)
Having agreed with FC Porto on a deal for Pepe's plus money for Jeffrey's transfer, all that remains is to communicate with the players. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Leon didn't have time to do it for the time being, he asked his assistant Banderas to contact Pepe's agent, and he had more important things to do, because the first leg of the promotion play-off final against Getafe had arrived.
For Leon and Sporting Gijón, the most important thing now is to get a place in La Liga through the promotion play-offs!
On June 27, Portugal's European Championship was in full swing.
On this day, Euro 2004 ended the last quarter-final competition. Euro 1996 runners-up Czech Republic defeated Euro 1992 champions Denmark 3-0 at the Porto Dragons Stadium to become the last team to qualify for the semi-finals, with Portugal, the Netherlands, Greece and the Czech Republic all in the semi-finals.
For Leon, the most direct impact of the European Cup on the other side of the Iberian Peninsula is that the Czech Republic has entered the semifinals, because he has also bought the Czech Republic to enter the semifinals, in addition, the Greek team actually reached the semifinals, which also surprised many people, and Leon previously bought Greece to win the championship, and was also humorous by the media in Gijón, saying that his vision is not good. It turns out that Coach Li Ang's vision for buying the ball is really remarkable.
The important and unusual day for Leon and Sporting Gijón is that it is the day they play away from Getafe in the promotion play-off final.
***********
The noise at the Alfonso Pérez Stadium shook the sky.
Boos, cheers, slogans, singing cacophony.
This game was full of gunpowder before the game.
First of all, the media picked up the story that Sporting Gijón's popular fried chicken, midfielder Juan Carlos, is an outcast of Getafe.
Such a little guy who was terminated by the Getafe youth team and swept out of the house, and then was brought back to Sporting Gijón from the slums by the head coach of Sporting Gijón Li Anghui, and carefully cultivated, this boy who used to play as a central defender was transformed into a midfielder, and his performance is getting better and better.
This matter is a very long-faced thing for Leon and Sporting Gijón, but for Getafe, it is quite a faceless thing.
And Getafe head coach Escedra was constantly asked by the media about Juan Carlos, which made the Getafe head coach extremely annoyed, this is the head coach of the youth team, and it is his business.
Escedra angrily said that he should go to the youth team training ground to ask the relevant personnel, not him.
A reporter really asked Gonzalo, the head coach of the youth team of Getafe, and this gentleman's temper was even worse, because he 'lost' the 'treasure' of Carlos in his hands, which made his impression in the eyes of the club's top management very bad, and now the better Juan Carlos performs in Sporting Gijón, the more difficult his life in Getafe will be. Now these reporters who don't have long eyes actually 'don't open which pot and which pot to mention', it's no wonder that Gonzalo is not depressed.
Embarrassed, Mr. Gonzalo insisted that he was not wrong, saying that Juan Carlos's skills are terrible, and his shortcomings are obvious, and Carlos seems to be doing well now, but the future of this player is very limited.
The implication is that it makes sense to expel Carlos himself, and he is not wrong.
***********
This caused Li Ang's anger, his own players were humiliated, and the head coach naturally had to stand up to protect the calves.
Subsequently, in his column in the "Voice of Gijón", Leon criticized Gonzalo for being visionless, incompetent, and unrepentant when he made mistakes.
After Leon's words came out, Gonzalo didn't come out to refute it, and Getafe Chairman Torres stood up to criticize Leon.
The chairman finally vowed that the only one who could get a promotion place in La Liga through the promotion play-offs would be his Getafe.
Previously, Torres said in his words that among the four teams in the promotion play-offs, Sporting Gijón is the weakest team, which is a fish belly, which is a contempt for Sporting Gijón naked-naked, which has caused the anger of Li Ang, and this time, Li Ang is even more hated by the old and new hatred.
"For some people who don't hold their mouths, only by smashing their teeth with a big stick can they shut him up!" Leon said unceremoniously.
He was then criticised by the Madrid press for being disrespectful to the president of a club's 'highly respected' club.
Leon's response was, see you on the field.
***********
Alfonso Pérez Stadium.
Li Ang cursed hatefully on the sidelines: "Damn the referee, this bastard ruined Lao Tzu's game!!"
Banderas was trying to persuade Leon to take his breath
Another assistant coach, Scottrie, looked cautiously into the distance, fearing that Leon's swearing would attract the attention of the referee.
In the eleventh minute of the game, Mikuel Kobas, the captain of Sporting Gijón and the core of the midfield, was sent off by the referee for a foul.
Li Ang was furious at the decision, believing that the referee on duty was clearly biased in favour of the home team, and that a yellow card was enough for the foul. What's more, the game had just been played for about ten minutes, and at this time, the referee punished the captain of the away team because of a not bad foul, which really made Li Ang unbearable.
Anger is anger, Li Ang has nothing to do, he can't lead the team to boycott because of a penalty.
Li Ang gritted his teeth angrily, given that the injured party would think of conspiracy theories in the first place, Li Ang had to suspect that Getafe had done the referee's job, although he also knew that such a thing was unlikely, this was a disciplined and more transparent Spanish football, not a messy Chinese football.
In the stands, Mr. Torres, the chairman of Getafe, also exchanged glances with the general manager of the club after cheering excitedly, they didn't do the work of the referee, Getafe is not a big club, and the seniority is younger than that of Sporting Gijón, how can they be taken care of so much by the referee?!
Whatever, since he didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of, just enjoy the care and benefits of the referee with peace of mind.
***********
For Sporting Gijón, the impact of Mikour Kobas's red card was extremely bad, which directly affected Sporting Gijón's game, and the tactics that Leon had formulated before the game have now become empty words.
Leon made an immediate substitution, with Magur Pihra coming on and Sastre coming off the bench.
Replace a striker and put on a defensive midfielder.
Seeing Li Ang make such a substitution adjustment, a smart person guessed that Li Ang was going to defend away from home when the team was sent off early.
That's right, not just defending, but defending.
The players of Sporting Gijón were involved in the defence, and they were heavily packed in central midfield and could even be said to have blocked the front of their penalty area.
Sporting Gijón's offense is to move forward with big feet, only two or three people are put in, mainly to use Juan Mata's speed to counterattack, if it can form a threat, then it's okay.
Sporting Gijón have one less man on the pitch and is the heart of the opposition's midfield, which makes the Getafe players look up to the hope of winning, or more directly a big win, Getafe is trying to find weaknesses in the Gijón defense, while Sporting Gijón wants to disrupt Getafe's attack in every possible way.
***********
Sporting Gijón's united defence paid off, with the score going 0-0 in the first half.
This score was obviously not satisfactory to Getafe, so after the start of the second half, Getafe launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the Sporting Gijón goal.
Leondi's heart was tormented by every second, and every attack from Getafegi made him restless, and he was worried about conceding the ball.
Now, for the game, if he can get a draw at the Alfonso Pérez Stadium without conceding a goal, Leon will be satisfied.
It can even be said that the result of a small loss by one goal is also acceptable to Li Ang.
No one expected an unfair penalty on the away side that directly affected the game, and Leon is now gritting his teeth and vowing to get his ground back at home.
"Seventy-nine minutes into the game, Getafe have had a whopping 21 shots on goal so far in the game, but the goal has not yet come!" said commentator Dagstino, "Sporting Gijón only had a pitiful four shots on goal, and the whole team was on defense! Coach Leon's goal is not to concede a goal and get a draw, and now, they are ten minutes away from reaching their goal!"
The camera gives a close-up of the coach's bench on the sidelines, Li Ang standing on the sidelines, with his hands in his trouser pockets, not saying a word, but with a serious expression.
Getafe coach Escedra was pacing anxiously on the sidelines, shouting loudly to the field from time to time, the opponent was sent off early in the first half, and the captain and midfield core of Sporting Gijón were punished, which was simply a perfect signal to win a big victory, but what he didn't expect was that the game went on for 80 minutes, and the team took the absolute initiative and bombarded the goal of Sporting Gijón, but still failed to score.
Escedra was anxious, and it would be unforgivable to not win at home with such a good chance.
Escedra kept waving his arms on the sidelines: Attack, attack, attack!
