Chapter 113: Gijon Second Team! (Thanks to Master Papapa)
In this game with Levante, Leon made a large rotation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a result, the players who usually don't have much playing time have ushered in their own show time.
The starting goalkeeper is Robert, a 23-year-old Spanish player who rarely plays, and the central defenders are also a new combination. Dias and Isma, Dias was originally the main central defender, however, after Leon coached, Dias's position was occupied by Isma, this game, Leon let another central defender who played for most of the season Yago rest, let the current stage of the main central defender Isma and Dias partner, in fact, if possible, he also wants to let Isma also rest, but, in the position of central defender, Leon is really stretched.
In addition to the new combination at centre-back, Leon also made some changes to the two full-backs. The team's right midfielder Dani Boregeiro went to play right wing-back, Boregeiro also heard of right wing-back, which is considered a return to the old business, and the biggest change is that Leon let the eighteen-year-old Dutch teenager Jeffrey play left wing-back, which is a surprising adjustment, Jeffrey was previously the favorite of the previous head coach Rashidria, this Dutchman is an important midfield substitute, playing the left wing-back position the most, and even Rashidria once asked Jeffrey to play left wing-back, now it's good, Leon let Jeffrey play left wing-back, which is getting further and further back。
In fact, for Jeffrey, Leon also has a bit of a headache, the Dutch youngster's statistics are not outstanding, on the offensive end, Leon doesn't look down on this little guy, however, Geoffrey's speed is relatively fast, the turn is also fast, and the tackle attribute is relatively okay, Leon feels that playing left fullback seems to be a good choice, of course, Geoffrey's potential is really average, Leon is really no player under his command to let Jeffrey go to the fullback. As for what Yang can do in this kid's position, it depends on his performance in today's game.
***********
The midfield is still two defensive midfielders, Juan Carlos is still the starter, in the eyes of Leon, Juan, the midfield sweeper, is indispensable to the team, others can rotate, Carlos can't rotate, fortunately, this kid has excellent physical fitness, good endurance, and he can't look a little tired.
In addition, the youngster Marcos, who has started the game recently, did not start, and Leon rested Marcos, replacing Marcos with Rafal Sastre.
In doing so, Leon is also trying to use a new tactic, and Sastre is tasked with the same role as Juan, a midfield sweeper, and he has Juan Carlos take Sastre, the two midfield spoilers, to deal with Levante's attacking line to see how that pairing works.
In the midfield position, Leon opted to play for Volko and for Albarro to play as the left wing-back. His instructions to Folkau were to make more crosses, try to pass the ball behind to the striker, and if the opponent got entangled, let Albarro come to help. Another instruction of Leon's frontcourt players is to create free kick opportunities as much as possible, Albarro's player is average, but Leon was surprised to find that Albarro's free kick attributes are relatively high, and in this game, Albarro's free kick will have a role to play.
Up front, Leon fielded the combination of David Lago and Pabloa Barez. David Lago came off the bench against Zaragoza and Leon gave him the chance to start today.
As for Pabloa Barez, this player Leon still values it more, although it is difficult to compete for the main position, but he is still a qualified substitute, and Leon hopes to use the game to help him improve his condition and ensure that this qualified substitute can be recruited at any time.
The two players on the front line, David Lago is fast, Barez is relatively well-rounded, and the technique at the foot is also good, which is not a bad combination.
Sitting on the bench at Sporting Gijón are goalkeeper Valencia, defenders Yago and Alegre, midfielders Micole Cobas, Javier Blanco and Marcos, and forwards Juan Mata and Maguel Picla. It's just that, if there are no contingencies, Leon doesn't plan to let these people play.
***********
Because the opponent is the league leader and the team has a good record during this period, the El Molinon Stadium is still full today.
However, even if the fans of Sporting Gijón were prepared to lose this game, the fans still gasped when they looked at such a starting lineup, because Leon almost rotated the entire starting lineup, except for central defender Isma and midfielder Juan Carlos, the other nine were absolute substitutes and even fringe players, and even the two full-backs were cameos.
The fans did not boo, but completely relaxed, and some people felt that they could understand Leon's approach, and since they decided to give up this game, it would be good to simply rotate thoroughly and let more main players get rest. On the contrary, there is no pressure on the fans, just watch the game well, as long as they don't lose a big score, it's acceptable.
This is why the fans of Sporting Gijón were tortured enough by the team's results before, and Li Ang led the team to a very good performance during this time, so they were able to tolerate the head coach 'such nonsense'. After all, there is a foreign semi-final second leg match three days later, so let's rotate it with a large rotation.
Levante head coach Lopez sat in the dugout, and he was determined to win this game.
When the two teams met in the first half of the season. His team beat Sporting Gijón 5-0 at their home stadium. Of course, the Sporting Gijón team at that time was not the Sporting Gijón coached by Li Ang. This time in the face of Li Ang's Sporting Gijón, Lopez is also in spirit, he does not dare to underestimate this Chinese, you know, Sporting Gijón just won Zaragoza, in addition, if you can lead the team to win the current current momentum of Sporting Gijón, Lopez will also be proud in his heart, his Levante leader position is deserved, the players will also be more confident, Sporting Gijón won Zaragoza, they won Sporting Gijón, although this comparison substitution relationship is not very scientific, but there is a psychological suggestion effect on the players。
However, seeing the starting lineup of Leon, Lopez was surprised at first, but he understood that the opponent was raising his hand to surrender, and he didn't plan to fight with his team in this game, Lopez saw the starting lineup of Sporting Gijon, and he felt that Levante could easily win this game, and the three points were almost ironclad, which was a good thing for Levante, who was heading for La Liga. After all, if the players win the game without bloodshed, the players will not consume too much physical strength and will not affect the subsequent games, but, I don't know why, thinking of winning the 'Sporting Gijón II team' so easily, Lopez feels that the victory has become boring.
Obviously, Lopez first believed that with Levante's strength, in the face of such an almost all substitute Sporting Gijón team, it was easy to win this game without breaking a sweat.
But he was wrong.
It's true that these Sporting Gijón players are indeed substitutes and even marginal players for Sporting Gijón.
Therefore, more than 20 minutes have passed in the game, and Sporting Gijón seems to be very harmless, and has not been able to pose any threat to Levante's goal, and even more than 20 minutes into the game, Sporting Gijón has not had a shot on goal.
However, the Levantes also found out. They couldn't easily break down the gates of Sporting Gijón.
