Chapter 479: Pain and Happiness
Pepe's superb long-range goal against Sevilla was named the best goal of the year in La Liga. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, in the face of the media hyping up the referee incident, Pepe's attention was weakened, which made the lad a little unhappy. As a centre-back, is it easy for him to score a goal and score with such a brilliant burst......
In an interview with Spain's National Radio 3, Leon was also asked about the boiling referee incident that is currently being hyped.
"yes, I'm worried right now. Leon said.
"Coach Leon, what are you worried about?"
"Two months from now, it's against Real Madrid and I'm worried. The head coach of Sporting Gijón had a worried look on his face.
Just one sentence is worth a thousand words, and Leon fully showed the Spaniards what is called the art of speaking. There is no mention of the word referee, nothing is mentioned, a word of 'worry', a thousand words are in it.
Real Madrid was stabbed by the 'old rival' Leon.
***********
Leon stabbed Real Madrid at the right time, which attracted a great favor from Atletico Madrid, and watching Real Madrid's jokes was one of their greatest pleasures, especially when they had just suffered a grievance and had just lost badly in the Madrid derby.
In addition, Leon also expressed his solidarity with Atletico Madrid's head coach Ferrando, saying that he can understand Ferrando's anger because he has also felt it.
His words aroused the anger of the Real Madrid people, you still feel the same way, the recent match between Real Madrid and Sporting Gijón, Sporting Gijón won, to say that the most hurt is still Real Madrid, is it good?!
In the days that followed, there was a lot of media coverage of the referee's problems in this round of the league.
Leon's two sentences were also placed in a prominent position as quotations, and his feud with Real Madrid looked even more irreconcilable under the push of the media.
Although in the first half of the league, Sporting Gijón also had an unpleasant quarrel with Barcelona when he visited Camp Nou, but in front of the common enemy Real Madrid, the Catalan media still praised his remarks.
Real Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona...... These teams don't deal with Leon very well, but now, at this moment, the latter two and Leon have become allies for the time being, and this world is really wonderful.
***********
Three days later, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Sporting Gijón played away to Osasuna. A slightly more difficult opponent.
Although Sporting Gijón won the Copa del Rey last season, the first title of Sporting Gijón's managerial career, and the first trophy for Sporting Gijón in recent decades, Leon is not feeling very good about the Copa del Rey right now.
There is only one reason, the format of the Spanish Copa del Rey is too dense.
The Copa del Rey is played over two legs, home and away, which is undoubtedly a huge drain on the team's energy, and the Copa del Rey is the most intense in January.
It's a great test of the team's fitness.
In this game, Leon made a big rotation of the team's lineup, Handanovic got the chance to start, Vermaelen and Chiesa and Juan Arango, who had just joined the team, all got the chance to start, and substitutes such as Benzema and Javier Blanco were all on the lineup.
The media and fans can also see from the lineup of Sporting Gijón that Leon has a dispensable attitude towards the Spanish Copa del Rey.
In fact, from Leon's heart, if the team is out of the Copa del Rey now, he will not care at all, after all, once the Copa del Rey reaches the quarterfinals, after the League Cup is also rekindled, Sporting Gijón needs to fight on three fronts, which can be said to be extremely dangerous for the current depth of Sporting Gijón's squad: it is difficult for them to cope with it.
Sporting Gijón drew 1-1 away at Osasuna, who took the lead in the second half and Sporting Gijón equalised in the final moments through Karim Benzema. The camera captured that when the team scored, Sporting Gijón coach Leon raised his arms to celebrate the goal, but this celebration was less passionate than before, and it looked more like a 'routine'.
***********
Leon was indeed as the media said, not so excited about the late equaliser. The 1-1 score was strong for Sporting Gijón, who scored away goals and took the lead on the road to promotion. This means that Sporting Gijón has a good chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Li Ang's heart is complicated, the team is performing well, he is happy, but the pressure of the third-line battle gives him a headache, it should be said that he is painful and happy.
However, he certainly won't admit that he has dropped the Copa del Rey claim because it would be unfair to the players who worked hard and gave in this game, and in an interview with the media after the game, Leon praised the players and said he was happy that the team was able to make a breakthrough on the road to promotion.
This round of the Spanish Copa del Rey quarterfinals also broke out an upset, Real Madrid was forced to draw 0-0 by Valladolid away, which also caused the anger of the Madrid media, and criticized Real Madrid, you know, just three days ago, when Real Madrid won the Madrid derby, it was the same media, but they did not hesitate to praise it.
Li Ang watched the excitement from the sidelines, and at the same time expressed sympathy for Real Madrid coach Luxemberg, he was not purely sarcastic and mocking the famous Brazilian coach this time, he really expressed subtle sympathy, Li Ang is extremely disgusted and disgusted with the Madrid media, not only because these media have a bad relationship with him, but also because the Madrid media turn their faces faster than turning the book, what they want to see is that Real Madrid has been performing well, and at the same time privately doing things that are digging Real Madrid's corners, keen to report some contradictions and scandals of Real Madrid, making the military discouraged, and then continue to criticize Real Madrid, saying that it is not an exaggeration to scold Real Madrid while eating Real Madrid's meal……
Of course, this has nothing to do with Leon, his team is in good shape now, the winter break has not affected Sporting Gijón's form, just after the Copa del Rey match with Osasuna, Leon and his Sporting Gijón ushered in a strong opponent, their opponent is none other than Atletico Madrid coach Ferrando's Atletico Madrid!
***********
"Atletico Madrid is a club with a long history and has its own glory! ”
"Coach Ferrando is a respectable coach who has a lot of noble qualities in him that I need to learn. ”
Li Ang said.
"Coach Leon is the brightest discovery in Spanish football, and his team has played amazing football. ”
"It's admirable that Sporting Gijón is third in the league. ”
Atletico Madrid coach Ferrando said.
"It was a really good game. "The two managers expressed the same sentiment in their pre-match press conference, very polite, congenial.
In the stands of the Estadio El Molinon, fans of the home team Sporting Gijón also unfurled a special banner: Friends of Atletico Madrid, welcome.
Atletico Madrid fans expressed their gratitude for this, chanting in unison the name of Sporting Gijón's head coach Li Ang, and expressing their gratitude to the young coach who was "righteous and thin" and "shot righteously".
Leon and Ferrando shook hands before the game with smiles on their faces.
This is arguably the most harmonious picture of the round of La Liga matches, and it is really ...... that the two teams that are about to be rivals are so respectful to each other
The race is on.
