"Friends, watch the quarter-finals of the 2004/2005 UEFA Cup against Spain's Sporting Gijón (Spain), who are back in the quarter-finals after almost 30 years, and Parma, former European Cup Winners' Cup winners. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info: This is a contest between the super dark horses of La Liga and the old powerhouses of Serie A. Parma are in a bit of a bad form at the moment, with their next home undecided and now in the relegation zone, but the team is still in place, and it will not be easy for Sporting Gijón to get out of the Stadio. Said the Spanish commentator Dagstino.

"When the Italian club faces the Spanish club, it is the Italian club that advances in the end, and in this regard, Parma have a great psychological advantage. As long as Parma show their form from last season and have a good chance of winning against Sporting Gijón, the charm of the knockout rounds is that they can seal the win if they perform well in this game. Viviano, the Italian commentator, said.

However, in the pre-match press conference, when asked about the Italian club's advantage against the Spanish club, the head coach of Sporting Gijón Li Ang has flatly denied this bullshit psychological disadvantage. He doesn't believe in psychological superiority at all. The reason is very simple, even if the Spanish club has lost more and won less against the Italian club before, but does this have anything to do with him? Aside from the long-standing Monaco winning the Ligue 1 championship as a promoted horse, as well as the Ipswich Miracle and the Nottingham Forest Miracle in the English First Division era, there has been no example of a promoted horse winning the top league championship in the entire European football over the years, except for the Kaiserslautern miracle, but isn't Sporting Gijón currently on the road to creating miracles? Leon does not believe in historical records, only in his feet.

In the face of the down-and-out Parma, Leon was full of confidence.

In this game, Leon's request to the team is to take the initiative and control the rhythm under his own feet, facing the Italian team, if you are led into a slow pace by the opponent, then wait to be grinded to death.

***********

Parma won the right to pick the edge and Sporting Gijón got the tee-off, which in turn satisfied Leon, meaning that the football was at their feet as soon as the game started.

Sporting Gijón took advantage of the convenience of their tee-offs. Resolutely playing attacking football from the start, especially on the two wings, Leon gave Juan Mata and Ribery the task of playing on the wings with their speed and technique.

In the sixth minute, Sporting Gijón played a dazzling combination, Di Natale came out to pick up, dribbled to attract the attention of several Parma defenders, and then suddenly split sides.

Frank Ribery cut in and dribbled the ball near the baseline before sweeping the ball with his left foot towards goal.

This caused chaos in the Parma penalty area, Benzema fell to the ground and tackled, after the football jumped up, it hit the leg of Cannavaro Jr. and changed the line, straight to the near corner of the goal, fortunately Parma's goalkeeper Frei has not moved his position, subconsciously stretched his leg to block, and after blocking the football, the football went out of the bottom line.

"Ahh He held his head in his hands and regretted that if this goal had been scored, Sporting Gijón would have broken the deadlock early, and the game would have been much better.

Li Ang also spread his hands regretfully on the sidelines.

Sporting Gijón gets a corner.

Juan Mata drove the ball into the box and Branislav Ivanovic squeezed past Bovo defending him to head the ball over the crossbar after being whipped over the bar by Freto, shocking the Parma fans in the stands.

Or a corner.

This time, Sporting Gijón's tactical corner, after a few passes of the football, Di Natale passed the ball into the box, and Modric's header was firmly held in the arms of Frei.

There was a round of applause from the stands at the Stadio Tardini dedicated to goalkeeper Frei, and the Frenchman was the busiest Parma player when the game began.

***********

Leon shook his head on the sidelines, Frei's state today is surprisingly good, this is not good news for Sporting Gijon, sometimes the most afraid of touching the opponent's goalkeeper in the game erupts, at this time, the goalkeeper is simply like a god, how to pounce, not to mention, Frei is by no means unknown, this French goalkeeper is definitely the top five goalkeepers in Serie A now.

In fact, if you only look at Parma's starting list today, the strength is quite good, the goalkeeper is the Frenchman Frei, the backline is the central defender partner of Cannavaro Jr. and Beauvo, the left wingback Contini, the right fullback is Bonella, at this time Bonella is not the striker Nera when he was later in AC Milan, Bonella at this time is a popular fried chicken, and is considered by the Italian media to be Nesta's successor.

In the midfield, there are Simplicio and Vignaroli, as well as Australian star Bresciano, in addition, in the front line there is the best scorer of the new Italian generation Gilardino, the twenty-two-year-old Italian striker, who is considered by the Italian media and fans to be the best striker in Italy's age group, including AC Milan and Juventus and other giants are eyeing Gilardino.

To put it bluntly, Parma's current squad on paper is stronger than Sporting Gijón, at least in the eyes of many.

Therefore, it is really embarrassing that such a 'luxury division' is now ranked third from the bottom of Serie A.

***********

Sporting Gijón firmly held the initiative on the field, and they stepped up their attacks.

19th minute. Ribery shot from Carlos' pass and forced his way through the ribs, which was of good quality, but was saved by Frei.

A corner kick from Sporting Gijón, the football goes into the penalty area, and the attacking Frei punches out of the box.

Sporting Gijón instigated another attack, Ribery controlled the ball at the top of the penalty area, he made a gesture to cut in laterally, then suddenly split the side, Grosso, who was inserted, received the ball from Ribery, adjusted slightly, and crossed.

The ball crossed the box and was pushed back by Benzema at the back post, Di Natale wanted to attack again, but unfortunately he was not tall enough, and Frei made a decisive move to take the ball off Di Natale's head.

Parma volleyed the ball. Just take advantage of the situation to fight back.

"Twenty minutes into the game, we were seeing a battle between Sporting Gijón's attacking players and Frei......," D'Agostino described with a slightly exaggerated description.

He picked the ball off steadily, and he used his talent to tell the Gijón that it was no way out. Viviano, the Italian commentator, shouted excitedly.

On the sidelines, Li Ang touched his chin, stared at the stadium and pondered, encountering a goalkeeper with explosive seeds, trouble.
