Leon is indeed under great pressure right now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The media criticized him for buying a bunch of children who don't know from which corners, and criticized the whole transfer of Sporting Gijón as a mess.

Marca reporter Fürth even launched a survey in his column to discuss how Sporting Gijón would win their first La Liga match in the Year of the Monkey?!

Le Monde Sport also joined in the fun, and they somehow found out of nowhere to find out about Ribery's first visit to the Marleo training base, and their columnist Sirter described it in a mocking tone, "...... A player who goes to report to a new club, but because of his terrifying appearance, he is suspected of being a bad guy and is denied entry, this kind of thing probably only happens in that Chinese team...... This French kid who came to La Liga from the French lower league, but he has always been reused by Leon, but what we saw was four starts, thirty-one shots on goal, and none of them scored, well, this is a matter of Gijón, they are relegated and it has nothing to do with us, ha......"

These ill-intentioned media finally found an opportunity to wantonly ridicule and criticize Leon, and Ribery was also affected and ridiculed by comments, mainly because the relationship between Leon and these media is really bad, and Ribery, who was entrusted by Leon to be reused, will naturally be named for his poor performance.

Under the description of some media, Ribery's poor performance has become one of Leon's crimes.

In addition, Croatian teenager Modric was also ridiculed and ridiculed by the media, after Modric came to the team, he only came on as a substitute for ten minutes in a game, and his performance was like sleepwalking, it is clear that the Croatian has not been able to adapt to the Spanish style of football.

In short, in the words of the media, among the players introduced by Sporting Gijón coach Leon, except for the two veterans and 26 or 7-year-old players such as Di Natale, Milito and Grosso, the other little guys are scum.

In this regard, Sporting Gijón fans are more tolerant, after all, the league has just begun, to be honest, although Leon is ambitious for the new season, but, the fans don't know, in fact, for Sporting Gijón fans, if at the end of this season, they can be relegated successfully, can stay in La Liga, they will be happy, after all, they are promoted horses who have left La Liga for many years.

Moreover, in the case of Sporting Gijón's recruitment, fans also know that the club's financial situation is not very good, so Coach Leon can only bring in those unknown young players, which is also a matter of no choice, they understand.

And out of trust in the excellent results of Leon last season, so far, the fans still trust and support Leon.

As a small club with little strength, fans have long learned patience and understanding.

***********

Gijón, September 16, 2004, in the third round of qualifying for the UEFA Cup, in the first leg, Sporting Gijón hosted the Czech First League team Olomoc.

This is Sporting Gijón's return to the European arena after two or three decades, so it has inspired all the fans.

The whole of Gijón can be said to be empty alleys.

The El Molinon Stadium was packed.

El Molinon Stadium. On the electronic scoreboard of the full stadium, the current score is clearly displayed: 2:1!

Home team Sporting Gijón leads away team Molomoc 2-1.

At this point, it was 71 minutes into the game.

Both of Sporting Gijón's goals came in the first half.

Albertini's long ball was headed wide by Diego Milito, Di Natale's subsequent shot was saved by goalkeeper Kolinski, and Mata's follow-up shot hit the post and bounced back, only to be accidentally touched into his own goal by defender Campos Rafi.

Sporting Gijón took the lead thanks to an own goal from the opposition.

The second goal came late in the first half, when Albertini's free-kick went into the box and Diego Milito headed home!

Two to zero!

The entire El Molinon Stadium roared with joy and the fans were excited.

Milito, who scored the goal, celebrated with excitement.

For the Argentine, who played in the Italian second division last season, it was a dream to come to Gijón, play in the UEFA Cup and score in the UEFA Cup.

***********

Leon also applauded on the sidelines, Milito's goal was also an affirmation of his work, and the Argentine he was optimistic about repaid him with a goal!

In the first half, Sporting Gijón temporarily led 2-0.

Everything looked good and going well, and the commentator Gonzalez was full of praise for Sporting Gijón, "Sporting Gijón showed people that they are determined to win the game, and I gave them eight points in the first half! They are a little bit close to being perfect. ”

"If we can win the game, it will be the second time that Sporting Gijón have won in Europe in many years, and of course, for the current team, it will also be their first win of the new season, which is key to relieving the pressure on Coach Leon!"

The camera gives a close-up of Leon, and the head coach of Sporting Gijón has a big smile on his face as he walks down the players' road, and it is clear that he is happy with his team's performance.

The compliments and the relaxed atmosphere only belonged to the first half of the game, but the second half was a sudden change.

Olomouc pulled a goal back from a corner just five minutes into the second half.

The Czech side then showed the resilience of the Eastern European side and began to counter-attack, even after pressing Sporting Gijón at one point, could not get past halftime.

Seventy minutes into the game, Sporting Gijón made matters worse, their midfield core Albertini was injured and was being treated on the sidelines, which was a huge blow to Sporting Gijón.

In Sporting Gijón's attacking tactics, Albertini's role was crucial.

Now that Albertini is injured and will be substituted if he can't keep playing, Sporting Gijón is in a huge predicament.

***********

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

"It's not a big problem, but I can't hold on to this game today. Mr. Rotalo said.

"Fuck!" Leon snapped into a foul mouth.

He was desperate for a victory, and Albertini's injury undoubtedly disrupted his tactical set-up. What's more, the opponent is currently gaining momentum, and if Sporting Gijón can't put pressure on their opponents in attack, their defense will also face a huge crisis.

"Coach-" Albertini also had a painful expression, not because of the injury, he knew the importance of this game for the team, and it was really depressing to be injured at this time.

'Demy, you have a good rest, the team needs you for the weekend. Leon patted Albertini on the shoulder.

Then he walked over to the bench and his gaze swept over the bench.

Swept by his gaze, the substitutes were a little excited, and they were all eager to play.

Eventually, Leon's gaze rested on Modric, and then at Ribery, who was eager to try.

Li Ang gritted his teeth, "Luka, go warm up!"

Modric got up excitedly after receiving this order, after moving to Sporting Gijón, he only played a few minutes as a substitute against Mallorca, and he was eager to play, not to mention that it was a UEFA Cup match.

Hearing that Leon asked Modric to warm up, Ribery was a little disappointed, and the vice-president Albertini was injured and the manager was forced to make a substitution, in which case it looked like the likelihood of playing himself was low.

***********

It was at this time that Ribery heard the sound of heaven.

"Frank, you go warm up too, hurry up. ”

"Huh?" Ribery was stunned.

"Why don't you go? Leon glared.

Ribery hurried to his feet and went to warm up.

"Lee, are you going to change two people at once?" asked assistant coach Scottry. Modric should replace the injured Albertini, which is no problem, then, Ribery also has to play?

"Yes. Leon nodded, "We must suppress the opponent offensively, Samoel's offensive ability is not good, and Ribery is needed at this time!"

Albertini went off injured and Sporting Gijón have not made any substitutions yet, and now they have one less man on the pitch.

Olomouc seized on the numerical advantage and began to put constant pressure on the Sporting Gijón goal.

Hierro, the captain of Sporting Gijón, had a grim expression, he had just completed a beautiful tackle, and the veteran got up, didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and clapped his hands vigorously to boost the team's morale, "Keep an eye on people! Don't give them a chance to get the ball easily!"

Hierro looked at the sidelines, he knew how critical the situation was now, Hierro knew the role of Albertini best, Albertini's dispatch in the midfield, able to sort out the midfield well, put pressure on Olomoc, and now, Albertini left the field injured, and Sporting Gijon's midfield suddenly became chaotic.

After a brief warm-up between Modric and Ribery, the two men ran back.

Leon stood on the sidelines, holding a little guy with one hand.

"Luka, your task is to replace Demi. Leon said.

Modric nodded.

"I didn't send you to play in these games, how is the homework assigned to you?" asked Leon.

Leon didn't wait for Modric to answer, and continued, "I asked you to watch Demi play on the bench, you should have some experience now, after you play, do it according to your understanding, I have only one request, the midfield can't be messed up, your task is to sort out the midfield, and now it is the team's metronome!"

Modric nodded, took a deep breath, he understood the coach's cultivation of him, these games, he basically sat on the bench for 90 minutes, the coach asked him to watch the game from the field up close, watch the game, and get familiar with the style of Spanish football as soon as possible. He has been following the coach's instructions, observing the game with his own eyes, and at the same time making up in his mind how to play on the field. And in training, Albertini also took good care of him and Carlos, and would teach them privately.

Now, it's time to put the results to the test.

Modric glanced at Albertini, who had already returned to the bench, and the veteran Italian gave him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement.

"If you have a long-range shot, you can try a long-range shot!" Leon said to Modric suddenly. He has the impression that the later Modric has a long-range shooting skill, although he doesn't know how the long-range shooting footwork is practiced now, but at least this can also deter the opponent's goal.

"I see, coach. Modric's fists clenched.

***********

"Frank—" Leon said to Ribery, "do you know what to do?"

"Yes, pass the ball more. Ribery said.

"Stupid. Leon patted Ribery on the shoulder, "For a while, you can show your foot skills to your heart's content, show your breakthrough." ”

"Huh?" Ribery was surprised, didn't he criticize himself for only caring about breakthroughs and shooting, being too lonely?

"Ahh Leon paused, "Of course, if you have a good chance, don't forget to pass the ball." ”

Ribery nodded, indicating that he understood, the head coach is not not not to let himself be happy, but to be obedient, and he can only be happy when he should be happy.

"Go ahead and show everyone what you're made of. Leon pushed the two young men forward.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Olomouc striker Destrev had a shot that went wide of the post, and there was a dead ball opportunity on the field, and Sporting Gijón requested a substitution.

No. 8 Alexandre Samuel and No. 11 Franck Ribery.

No. 6 Demetrio Albertini and No. 21 Luka Modric.

Nineteen-year-old Modric, twenty-one-year-old Ribery, were on the verge of death.

ps: Weakly ask for a monthly pass.
