Espanyol coach Lotina's face was gloomy and a little angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This goal made the situation of the Spaniards even more passive.

The 0-1 score is the most delicate, and the side behind will leave Gijón with defeat if they don't attack. But if they do get out, they may continue to concede goals, and Sporting Gijón have been on the offensive for this game, making them hesitate back and forth.

Although the Spaniard has an attacking prowess like La Pena. But he couldn't do anything better against the fierce Juan Carlos, Carlos's rough defense made Lotina want to scold, but as long as the referee doesn't blow fouls on the football field, these are all defensive actions allowed by the rules.

"Look at De la Pena, he's afraid of confrontation, and against Carlos, who is like a tiger, De La Pena doesn't have many options, and he seems to be avoiding Carlos. D'Agostino shook his head and said that De La Pena is the heart of Espanyol's midfield, and in this situation, it is no wonder that Espanyol's attack can improve.

"De la Pena is afraid of injury, for a player like him, he already has the shadow of injury psychologically, and every injury is a psychological and physical torture for de la Pena. Gonzalez said regretfully, as if he was feeling sorry for de la Pena.

In its infancy, De la Pena and Raul were considered two of the greatest jewels of Spanish football. If it weren't for the injury, De La Pena would have gone down in history and his understanding of football was no less than Xavi's. However, with injuries still plagued by injuries, he played just 25 games in all competitions last season, and two seasons ago when he was on loan at Lazio from Barcelona, he played just one game a season, and it is clear that injuries have become a nightmare for him.

***********

Leon sat in the coach's seat, crossed Erlang's legs, Juan Carlos on the field successfully prevented de la Pena who was afraid of injury and had a subconscious fear of confrontation, the Spanish golden boy who was the same as Raul back then, now facing Carlos, but trying his best to avoid Carlos, seeing Carlos coming, he even had to rush the football out. Then, then another empty run, another ball and then Carlos came and De la Pena either passed the ball again or simply came with a long-range shot.

"Except for the two breakthrough attempts after the opening kick, he didn't even have the courage to beat Carlos after suffering a ferocious tackle. Gonzalez shook his head sadly.

This scene makes many people really don't know what it's like, even the fans of Sporting Gijón, they are also fans of the Spanish national team, once when the twin stars of De La Pena and Raul shined, the Gijón people also liked De La Pena, and now, seeing their Carlos, this sixteen-year-old little guy made De La Pena so embarrassed, and the fans of Gijón were also embarrassed......

The first half ended with Sporting Gijón dominating the game, threatening the Espanyol goal on several occasions and scoring a goal to take a temporary 1-0 lead.

Hearing the whistle at the end of the half, Benzema and his teammates on the bench stood up and happily talked about the half-time that had just ended, and the team was ahead. The scene is still dominant, and everyone is very relaxed.

The TV broadcast showed a shot of Leon, then a 1-0 score on the scoreboard, and then a banner in support of Leon held aloft by fans in the stands, and then the camera cut back to Leon and followed him until he walked into the players' tunnel.

***********

In the dressing room at halftime, the atmosphere on the side of Sporting Gijón was very relaxed, and Leon was also satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half, he did not make any adjustments, a good manager, not to use adjustments and changes to prove that he is excellent, know when to maintain the status quo, know when to adjust, know how to make targeted adjustments to be effective, this is the homework of a good manager.

Leon was very reassured, and at this point, his confidence in winning the game was much stronger than before the start of the first half, mainly because Carlos restrained De la Pena very well, which was the key to winning the game.

With De la Pena confined to the limit, Espanyol's striker Tamudo, who is also a strong player in Leon's memory, did not get much chance in the first half of the game without midfield support, and posed little threat to Sporting Gijon's goal.

In the visiting dressing room, Espanyol head coach Lottina spent the entire half-time break talking about tactics and making adjustments in the hope of enhancing his team's attacking effect and turning things around.

While Lotina was still talking, the assistant coach reminded him that the fifteen minutes of the break were approaching, and Lotina frowned, but finally waved his hand and signaled that the players could go to the pitch to prepare for the second half.

The players left in twos and threes, but Lotina found de la Pena and motioned for him to stay.

"Ivan, I hope to see you in the second half of the game that I want to see the most!" said Lotina, "the team needs you!"

He did not directly criticize de la Pena, but, believing in De la Pena's cleverness, he could hear the meaning of the words and the expectations contained therein.

Lotina glanced at the manager, then nodded, "I see." ”

Lotina's brows furrowed slightly, but she still didn't say anything, but was afraid to pat de la Pena on the shoulder, "Go ahead, you're de la Pena, that sixteen-year-old little guy, you can't be an obstacle to you." ”

Hearing this, De La Pena didn't say anything, just clenched his fists and strode away.

Lotina smiled imperceptibly, for such a proud and talented fellow, sometimes, the method of agitation works better than anything else.

***********

"This game, if there were no accidents, we won it. Before the start of the second half, Leon sat in the dugout and turned to assistant coach Scott Terry.

Scott also nodded, the team is leading in the score, the situation is good, and the hope of scoring another goal is also very high, it is indeed a good situation.

However, after only five minutes, Leon sank his face, he had just said 'no surprises', and now, accidents had appeared.

Sporting Gijón's Argentine striker Diego Milito fell to the ground in a scramble with the Espanyol defender, and then the Argentine got up from the ground, took two steps, felt something was wrong, and sat on the turf, while the team's vice-captain Albertini ran over to Milito and made a gesture to the sidelines.

"Fuck!" Leon scolded.

He asked veteran Macoul Pihra on the bench to get up and warm up while watching the team doctor enter the field with worried eyes.

He is really worried about the seriousness of Milito's injury, and now, the forward combination of Diego Milito and Di Natale is getting better, at this time, if Milito is seriously injured, it will be a huge blow to Sporting Gijón, because, in Leon's substitute lineup, there is really no one who can replace Milito, whether it is the veteran Macoul Pihra or David Lago or the young Benzema, they are only substitute roles, unable to play the role.

***********

While McGur Pihra was warming up on the sidelines, team doctor Rotalo accompanied Milito out of the pitch after a brief check-up.

Seeing that Milito was slowly walking off the court, rather than being carried or put on a stretcher, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he also realized that the team's forward lineup was really a little thin, not that there were no substitutes, but there was no substitute who could take on the heavy responsibility.

"How's it going?" asked Leon, the team doctor, Mr. Rotalo.

"The initial diagnosis was a muscle strain. "If that's the case, it's not a big problem, but it's definitely not going to be able to play today." ”

Li Ang nodded, if it was really sure that it was just a muscle strain, it was okay, it was okay, the situation was not too bad.

Leon then patted Milito on the shoulder and comforted the Argentine to go to the bench to rest.

***********

On the side of the Espanyol coach's box, Espanyol coach Lotina saw that Diego Milito was injured and left the bench directly, which was definitely going to leave the field with an injury, and Lotina was happy in his heart.

The departure of the Argentine, who is a threat to the Espanyol goal, is good news for the Spaniards, and is this injury accident a turning point in this game?

Lotina's chin was held in thought, her eyes twinkling.

Not far away on the bench at Sporting Gijón, Macour Pihra returned after a brief warm-up.

'McGurr, when you come on the pitch tell the guys to try to play on the flanks and pass the ball to you when you have the chance. Leon pointed to Maqgur Pihra's head, meaning to play to his header.

There's no way around it, Maqgur Pihra's header ability is good, but his skills at his feet are really average, and sending him on the pitch must only be able to play McGurre's header.

Maqgur Pihra nodded in understanding.

Leon patted the veteran on the shoulder, and then sent him to the sidelines to wait for the substitution to be adjusted.

Macoul Pihra ran into the pitch and found the team's midfield core Italian veteran Albertini and whispered to the former AC Milan star, who listened and looked to the sidelines, and then saw the manager Leon raise two fingers, and he said he understood: wings together!

It's going to be flying with both wings!

In the 56th minute of the game, Sporting Gijón made a substitution, the main scorer Diego Milito left the field injured, and the veteran McGur Pihra came on as a substitute.
