Leon has been thinking about this match against league leaders Levante. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Levante is first in the league, there are still 12 rounds of the league, and now the promotion battle in La Liga is miserable, Levante is in first place with 62 points, Numancia is second with 61 points, and in third place is Getafe, who also has 61 points, then Huelva with 58 points, Alaves with 56 points, and Elche with 55 points.

The promotion places in the second division of the league are three, and now Levante is only four points ahead of Huelva in fourth place, and there are still twelve rounds in the league, and Levante can't say how stable the promotion is, so now for Levante, every game is like a chicken blood to face.

Originally, Levante's strength was stronger than that of Sporting Gijón, and the attitude of the game was quite important, so it was quite difficult for Sporting Gijón to win at home in this game.

Of course, if Sporting Gijón really wants to fight Levante at home, Leon will still cause trouble for Levante if he asks for himself.

However, the problem is that three days after the match against Levante, Sporting Gijón will host the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Zaragoza. This means that the second leg of the semi-final between Sporting Gijón and Zaragoza will be unusually miserable.

Within four days, two strong opponents, two opponents who would play their lives in the game, Leon had a headache.

He is very aware of Sporting Gijón's current situation, don't look at their three wins and one draw in the league, the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals and won Zaragoza 3-1 away, however, there are some unexpected factors, especially the first leg of the semi-final with Zaragoza, if Zaragoza takes Sporting Gijón seriously from the beginning, and uses all the energy of the La Liga team, it will be several times more difficult for Sporting Gijón to retreat from La Romarda Stadium!

Now, Sporting Gijón shocked Spanish football with an away win over Zaragoza, which is a good thing and a bad thing, and now that they have made a name for themselves, no matter which team meets Sporting Gijón again, they will no longer look at this opponent with their current position in La Liga. As for the actual situation, the overall strength of Sporting Gijón is there, and this team is not yet capable of winning two tough battles in a row.

After much hesitation, Leon finally decided to give up the match with Levante, which was originally not in their plan with the strength of Sporting Gijón and their relegation task, and the match with the leader.

As long as they can pick up points against mid-table teams and a few other relegation teams, especially against their direct relegation opponents, this is the normal pattern of a relegation battle. It is not suitable for the time being to stumble with the top few teams in the league who are screaming to rush to La Liga.

After making a decision in his heart, Leon's mood improved, sometimes, it is not easy to make the decision to let go, but once he made up his mind, he could let go.

In fact, the matter that Leon is considering has been hotly debated in the media in Gijón in the past few days, and Mitra, a reporter for the "Voice of Gijon", expressed in his column that he could choose to give up the game against a team like Levante.

This was echoed by other Gijón media, who also believed that the key to Gijón's relegation was the match between their direct opponents and the teams in the lower middle and lower leagues.

***********

However, the "Gijón Post", which had a grudge against Leon, had bad intentions at this time, and they coaxed on the sidelines, saying that since Sporting Gijón can defeat Zaragoza, it is not a problem to win Levante.

Leon also knew about the "Gijón Post" on the sidelines, this media is bad-hearted, this is kidnapping Sporting Gijón, they wish that Leon's victory lost to Levante, and then be eliminated by Zaragoza, they can fall into the hole for Leon.

Li Ang is also angry, he doesn't know if the brains of the top management of this media are in the water, and now in front of the big matter of relegation of Gijón Athletic, the "Gijón Post" actually doesn't care about the overall situation, only thinking about the festival with him, hoping that the worse the results of Gijón Athletic, the better, such a media, or the local media of Gijón, is simply self-defeating.

When Li Ang was interviewed by a local TV station in Gijón, he was asked by a reporter that the "Gijón Post" suddenly praised the team, saying that they were able to defeat Levante, and Li Ang responded in a thick tone of contempt, "The sun has come out of the west, and they actually support us?"

This sentence made many Gijón fans happy, and the fans are not stupid, knowing the festival between Li Ang and the "Gijon Post", as soon as Li Ang said this, they knew that the "Gijón Post" must not be at ease, plus, the fans are basically relatively calm, knowing how difficult it is to compete with Levante, a team that aims to upgrade, and they did not appear in the "Gijon Post" Except for a very small number of blindly optimistic fans, the vast majority of fans are mentally prepared for the loss of the match between Sporting Gijón and Levante. There are also many sane fans who have also expressed their views that they can choose to give up the game with Levante.

This made Leon happy, and the fans' eyes were bright. Of course, Li Ang also knows that this is mainly because the previous results and rankings of Sporting Gijón were too bad, and the fans will be more pragmatic, if it is the beginning of the new season, Sporting Gijón would have been considered one of the promoted teams, and at that time the fans would definitely shout that the team would win Levante, a 'direct promotion opponent', at this time and time, the goals and requirements are naturally different.

***********

So, even though Leon didn't say it, the media and the fans, and even the players themselves knew. It was a game that he gave up.

Leon doesn't say it just because no manager would have said to his players before the game: "Guys, I gave up on this game today. You can see what you do. ”

On the contrary, Leon still attaches great importance to this game, and he values the players who participated in the game today.

In this game, Li Ang made a big rotation in the starting lineup, and some players who have rarely been able to play recently were given the opportunity to play.

In the tactical drills before the game, as well as in training, Li Ang was as attentive and serious as ever.

He told all the starters today with this attitude: I value your performance in today's game, this is your chance for you 'fringe players' to show yourself! If you do well and surprise me, then, congratulations, I will look at you differently! This is not the opposite, if any player performs well in this game that he has psychologically 'given up', he will definitely be very happy.

A manager is not only good at using those main players, but also testing the ability of the coach to deal with these fringe players.

This game is also a great opportunity for Leon to scout those 'fringe players', who are now looking out for the composition of the squad for next season, who can stay, and who will be purged, are all questions to start considering. It's not possible to wait until the end of the season to think about these issues, it's a vision quality that a systematic and ambitious manager must have.
