Chapter 333: Efficiency is King (Part 1)

"Sporting Gijón showed us the best a team can do in terms of offensive efficiency. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Duan Xuan said in admiration, "In the first half of the game, Sporting Gijón had a total of four shots on goal, one was a direct set-piece goal, which was off the post, one was a long-range shot, and then it was the shot that brought the goal with those two counterattacks. ”

Liu Jianhong listened to it and said with emotion, "Coach Li Ang is very good to the team's tiaojiao, we can see that Sporting Gijón also wanted to attack at the beginning, but after being suppressed by the opponent, they decisively changed their tactics and fought to defend and counterattack, obviously, this is all in Coach Li Ang's plan." ”

"Sporting Gijón also did a very good job defending, defending well, attacking sharply, and such a team will surprise us even if it is promoted. Duan Xuan said that he can be said to have become a fan of Li Ang, and now everyone within CCTV knows that Duan is 'obsessed' with a football head coach.

"In fact, the Chinese team can choose Li Ang to coach. Duan Xuan suddenly said this.

"Ha, Mr. Alihan's job is quite good. Liu Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and squeezed his eyes at Duan Xuan, meaning, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with the sensitive topic of the national football team.

Dutchman Ali Han took office as the head coach of the Chinese team in 2002, and in the summer of 2004, Ali Han led the Chinese team to the final, but unfortunately lost to the Japanese 'Hand of God' and missed out on the championship. The Chinese team won the Asian Cup, but Alihan's coaching performance was still praised, however, in the subsequent 2006 German World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team did not perform well, just three days ago, the Chinese team lost 0-1 away to Kuwait, which also forced the Chinese team in the final round of the group stage, had to fight with Kuwait for a goal difference. Of course, at this moment, no one thinks that the Chinese team will be overpowered by Kuwait, and in the eyes of Chinese fans and media, it is still very safe for the Chinese team to cross the group stage and reach the top 10.

Duan Xuan was silent, he really wanted to see Li Ang coach the national football team, at this time, Duan's big head was still very angry and enthusiastic, naively thinking that a head coach could save Chinese football.

As a fan and friend of Li Ang, he naturally supports Li Ang to coach the national football team.

If Li Ang knew Duan Xuan's thoughts, he would probably turn his face with Duan's head, is there a friend who pushes his friend into the fire pit like this? The current national football team will die if you touch it, and you will be unlucky if you touch it.

***********

At this point, the second half of the game has already begun.

Although they were 2-1 behind the promoted polo team at the end of the half, Deportivo La Coruna, known as 'Super Laco', can become an important emerging force in European football right now.

As a king, you must continue to accept challenges, and the process may be thrilling, but the final winner must be the king. They are the protagonists.

Deportivo people think they are the protagonists, and the result and frustration of the first half of the game is just a small test, so after the start of the second half, Deportivo La Coruna's fighting spirit is still very strong, and they are still very confident of winning the game.

The Deportivo people see themselves as the protagonists of this game, and what about Sporting Gijón? They don't feel like the supporting characters who are defeated by the protagonists.

After the start of the second half, things went just as Leon had predicted.

Deportivo La Coruna launched a bombardment in an attempt to capitalise on the momentum of the opening stages of the game to equalise as soon as possible.

At halftime, Sporting Gijón, who was warned by Leon to prepare for hard fighting, faced the attack of the Deportivo people, although it was a little passive and even a little embarrassed, but it did not panic and stubbornly resisted the attack of the Deportivo people. Didn't give the opponent too good a chance to attack and score.

***********

In the 53rd minute, Deportivo right midfielder Victor Sanchez again scored into the heart of Sporting Gijón.

In the face of Ribery's interception, he easily shook off Ribery and fired a shot just over the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Bellerón fired a long-range shot that was saved by Sporting Gijón goalkeeper Valencia and a corner kick from Deportivo La Coruna.

Pandiani received a corner kick from the left of Belleron and jumped high to head the ball into the goal, but Pepe's tight defence failed to hit the target and the ball went over the crossbar.

Just twenty seconds later.

Sporting Gijón's midfield pass was cut off and Deportivo La Coruna's attack came again, Mauro Silva broke through with the ball in midfield and suddenly crossed and the follow-up Sergio fired a long-range shot that went wide of the right post.

During this time, Deportivo La Coruna's attack completely suppressed Sporting Gijón, and Sporting Gijón gradually fell into the middle of the confrontation.

The winner of the game is fundamentally in the midfield, only by winning the midfield, you basically master the game, 'the midfielder wins the world', this is the basic truth recognized in football.

Mauro Silva, Victor Sanchez, Sergio, Bellerón, Deportivo Deportivo midfield configuration, PK Gijón Athletic's Albertini, Marcos, Modric and Ribery, the former is obviously superior, Deportivo LaCoruna's midfielder, even in the face of Barcelona The latter is Real Madrid, will not fall behind, and the midfield of Sporting Gijón, perhaps the future of Ribery and Modric is very promising, but now they have not yet formed a climate.

***********

In the face of Deportivo La Coruna's onslaught, Sporting Gijón's midfield was tight, and defenders such as Pepe and Hierro also made many key saves.

And because of the siege of Deportivo La Coruna, the formation of Sporting Gijón has been compressed very small, and their midfielder Marcos has been more like a central midfielder during this time, trying to protect the last line of defense in front of the central defenders.

In addition, even Diego Milito has returned to the defence, leaving only Di Natale in front of him - the Italian is good at his feet and not slow to play on the counter-attack. But now, Sporting Gijón has no chance to fight back at all.

Irueta sat in the dugout and he was happy with it all, Sporting Gijón were very passive at the moment, while Deportivo La Coruna's threatening attacks began to pick up, Irueta had a gut feeling that the team would soon be able to score.

However, with the lessons of the first half, Irueta was still more vigilant at this time, and the impression of Sporting Gijón in the first half was that this is the kind of team that you can't take lightly even if you are besieging and attacking, and you need to pay attention to defense at all times.

Therefore, Irueta also explained at halftime that when attacking with all his might, he should be careful of the counterattack of Atletico Gijón.

Of course, Irueta still wants to see, and believes that his team can score first, equaliser first, and then try to overtake the goal.

At this time, Pandiani received a pass from Belleron, half-turned and volleyed, the football was stretched by Pepe's leg, and then subconsciously slapped out by goalkeeper Valencia, Luke made a follow-up shot, the ball hit the crossbar, and then was cleared by Hierro's big foot.

Irueta waved his hand regretfully, just a little short of it, believing that the goal was coming.

Leon watched the time from the sidelines, the game had been going on for more than sixty minutes, and it was the most difficult moment in the stalemate stage......
