Hierro struggled to stop Samuel Eto'o's near-net, and Sporting Gijón was in high spirits, and such a save was no less important than a goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Barcelona, on the other hand, has been hit and affected to a certain extent.

Barcelona were unable to create any more attacking chances in the next two minutes of stoppage time, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Deco fired a long-range shot over the crossbar.

"The half-time whistle blew! The first half was all about Sporting Gijon! In those 45 minutes, Barcelona had the upper hand in terms of possession and time on the ball. But it was Sporting Gijón that created scoring chances and grabbed them. To be fair, Barcelona deserved a goal, but Hierro erupted at a crucial moment and Sporting Gijón refused to concede a goal!" said D'Agostino.

"Objectively speaking, the away team is 1-0 ahead, which is a fair scoreline. Gonzalez had a different view, "The Barcelona people had the initiative, but their players were caught up in the airtight defense of Sporting Gijón. Apart from Eto'o's counter-attack, the home side didn't get any decent scoring chances! Leon's tactical opponent got off to a dream start and then took a decisive defensive approach, with Sporting Gijon cutting through Barcelona's attack and Leon's tactics at bay Rijkaard. In the duel between the two head coaches, Li Ang temporarily took the lead. ”

'It wasn't a good first half, it was a bit dull except for the good goals and saves. The Sky TV commentator was also commenting on the first half of the game, "However, although it is not spectacle, it is more real like this, and the managers and players of both sides are fighting wits and fierce competition." This is a competition that is worth watching by many researchers. ”

This commentator is right, the kind of game that scores three or four goals in half a game, after all, is a minority, but it is such a-for-tat duel that is more valuable for research. In the 2002/2003 UEFA Champions League final, AC Milan and Juventus played 0-0 in a 120-minute game, and finally through a penalty shootout, the Rossoneri topped Europe, many fans later complained that the game was too dull, the two sides were going to the penalty shootout at the beginning, and the game was not exciting at all, but, in fact, in many managers' notebooks, this game was repeatedly studied, known as a classic, such a real knife, from tactics to details to the performance of the players on the field, on-the-spot substitutions, are very exquisite, Ancelotti and Lippi's two famous coaches duel, can be called a classic of the European finals.

And in today's game, the fighting style of Sporting Gijon coach Li Ang and Barcelona coach Rijkaard started from the first second of the game, and the process seemed boring, but in fact there were many subtleties.

"I'm looking forward to the second half of this game. This game, if there are no surprises, will be the most classic pinnacle matchup in La Liga this season, although Barcelona's opponent is only a promoted polo team, but, at this moment, we must say that Coach Leon's team is enough for any team to take seriously, because they have the qualifications!" said the commentator in a very serious tone.

***********

Rijkaard's expression was solemn, and he quickly walked into the corridor with his head bowed. The team missed a goal in the final moments of the first half, which was a huge disappointment to Rijkaard, and it also made the Dutch coach very worried, and he once again realized how difficult it was to be an opponent.

Leon had a smile on his face, the team did not concede a goal, and the score went into half-time with a score of 1-0, which was indeed very satisfying for him.

He didn't rush back to the locker room, but stood not far from the players' Yongdao crossing, said a word or two to each player who came over, patted them on the shoulder, expressed reward and satisfaction, and finally walked back with his own people.

There was a nice atmosphere in the away dressing room at Camp Nou.

Everyone was excited and excited about the first half of the game, scoring early and stopping the opponent's goal at the end, it was great to start and finish.

This shows the role of Hierro's rescue, if Barcelona equalized at the end of the first half, now, the atmosphere in the team of Sporting Gijón will not be so good, but will be more depressed. In that case, it would be the players of the home team Barcelona with a smile on their faces.

The 1-0 lead at half-time gave the whole team a lot of confidence.

They were ahead of league leaders Barcelona, the most up-and-coming team in European football at the moment, and they didn't give much chance to this formidable opponent throughout the first half.

Li Ang did not stop the excitement of these players, although he is strict in governing the army, but he is not the kind of old antique who always has a straight face, and the players have emotions that need to be released, which is normal in Li Ang's opinion.

***********

After waiting for about two or three minutes, he felt that the heat was almost over, and Leon coughed. Signaling that he had something to say, the locker room immediately fell silent.

"I'm so proud of your performance in the first half!" Leon's first words sent applause and whistles in the dressing room.

"It started very well. Leon held up a finger, "I was surprised by that attack, I didn't expect you to do such a good job, I applaud you." ”

There was a cheer from the players.

After the cheers of the players, Leon pressed down with his hands, "After the goal, we defended well, Barcelona's proud pass attack was cut, they didn't get any chances, thanks to the team's efforts, I was relieved to see that Franck Ribery and Di Natale, as well as Milito, were actively involved in the defense. ”

There was another cheer, everyone likes to hear praise, and so do the players, after fighting hard for half the game, getting the recognition and praise from the manager, which is the greatest encouragement for them, even the fatigue seems to disappear.

"But now that everyone is here with a smile, we should be thankful for one person!" Leon said.

"It's the captain!"

"Captain!"

"That's right!" Leon nodded, "In the final stage of the game, the space after that counterattack reminded everyone that our opponent is a strong Barcelona, and we need to be vigilant at all times, because a moment of relaxation can lead to accidents." ”

There were serious expressions on everyone's faces.

"Fernando. Leon called Hierro by name, "It's the job you're supposed to do, but I'll say, good job! ”

"That's right, I'm in for a treat. Ribery shouted.

"It's a rare thing to be able to give Ribery a treat. Leon joked.

There was another burst of laughter, and Hierro had a smile on his face, and although he was tired, he was in a good state now, better than ever.

"However, that was after the win. Li Ang clapped his hands, "After the whistle blew at the end of the game, winning the game is the last laugh." ”

"To win the game, I'm in for a treat. Leon said.

"Hooray!"

"Okay!"

"Great!"

There was another round of cheers and whistles in the locker room.

***********

After the players were cheering, Leon pressed his hand again and said, "But don't be too happy. Our opponents are Barcelona after all. They're great, you should have experienced it in the first half, even though they didn't score, but the pressure on us was huge, and the second half was more difficult and we needed to work harder!"

After being warned by the head coach, everyone nodded secretly, Li Ang was right, Barcelona is indeed very strong, it seems that Barcelona did not get any chances in the first half of the game, but Barcelona did bring them a lot of pressure, they even couldn't hold on for a while, worried that they would lose the ball at any time, in this case, the captain Hierro's rescue was precious, so the head coach said that the whole team would like to thank Hierro for his efforts, which is not wrong at all.

"In the second half, we still insisted on defending and counter-attacking and pressing all over the field. The ball was lost in the front court, and it was counter-attacked on the spot. Immediately organize an attack when you grab it. However, when you are on the counter-attack, you have to do a good job of protecting the backfield, and I don't think anyone wants to experience that crisis at the end of the first half. ”

"Don't hesitate to have a chance to counter-attack, be more precise, don't waste chances, the team that wastes chances will inevitably be punished. Again, I want offensive efficiency!"
