"Penalty kick! Referee Angela Merkel from Germany blew for the penalty!"

"It's a penalty!"

"Penalty! This is a big blow to Sporting Gijón!"

Leon jumped up from his seat at once, rushed to the sidelines in anger, and waved his fist inside in protest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His team has not yet been beaten by Sporting Lisbon, the players are working hard, everything is still under control, but they may have fallen to the hands of the referee!

He does not accept such a result, resolutely no!

Leon insisted that this was the referee's care for the host, Grosso absolutely did not foul at that moment, he shoveled the football first, this is a misjudgment!

Equally emotionally charged was Sporting Lisbon coach Sergio Pesero, who also rushed out of the dugout and threw punches, but not in anger but in celebration. Celebrate the penalty.

He doesn't care if this is Pinto's fake fall, or if there is really a foul, he can't see this position clearly, anyway, the referee awarded a penalty, this is Sporting Lisbon's chance to overtake the score again, and exceed the score again near the end of the first half, which is really important for Sporting Lisbon!

Sporting Gijón is a mess in front of the goal.

The Gijón players protested the decision and Sporting Lisbon celebrated.

In the slow-motion replay, it is clear that Grosso did shovel the football first, and when the football was shoveled out by him, it was indeed Heping To's physical contact. But...... It is not known whether this level of physical contact was enough to cause Sa Pinto to lose his center of gravity and fall, but in short, Sa Pinto's fall was somewhat exaggerated.

***********

In the VIP box, many of the presidents of the Portuguese club congratulated the president of Sporting Lisbon, Cunha Dias, who was smiling and accepting the congratulations, which he enjoyed.

The previous defeat in the league completely deprived Sporting Lisbon of the chance to compete for the league title, and in this case, Lisbon is determined to win the League Cup. To this end, they did not hesitate to put aside their long-standing feud and publicly called on the Portuguese football community to cheer for Sporting Lisbon in the final. The "public relations statement" was officially announced on the official website, and Sporting Lisbon played the image card of "goodwill football" and "representing the Portuguese Super League in Europe", which was the first in history, inviting the presidents of all 36 clubs of the Portuguese Super League and Portuguese League to gather at the Alvalad Stadium.

The president of the athletic team, Cunha Dias, is quite elegant, and the first "Portugal final" is an opportunity to bridge the confrontation with Portugal's domestic football. Due to the friction between their interests, the Portuguese professional league has been shocking and scandalous in recent years, from on-pitch violence to bribery of referees, various teams have attacked each other and exposed, and many pillars have been formed. To his proposal, the Portuguese teams basically responded enthusiastically, and Benfica President Vieira, who has been entangled in grievances for nearly a hundred years, also readily agreed. At present, the only chairman who maintains an ambiguous attitude is Porto's 28-year-old president, the "godfather of the north" da Costa, many media speculated that because he is still caught in the "golden whistle" and won two European awards in a row, he lost a large number of elite soldiers such as Mourinho, Deco, and Carvalho and got nothing, which is inevitably embarrassing. But it is not ruled out that he suddenly changed his mind at the last minute and appeared in the VIP stands, which is also one of Da Costa's styles.

The final result was similar to what the media predicted, with da Costa arriving at the Alvalad Stadium for the final minute of the day, and Da Costa congratulated Cunha Díaz just now.

"This back door is nice. Da Costa quipped.

The name Cunha happens to mean "back door" in Portuguese, and Athletic can take advantage of the home field, and the newspaper laughs that he went through the back door to UEFA.

It is clear that even Reece himself believes that there is an element of the hosts being taken care of in this penalty.

***********

Grosso defended himself to the referee, signaling that he had not committed a foul, but the referee ignored him, and he complained to the assistant referee, but there was no response.

It is impossible to change the referee's decision, and both the referee and the linesman agree that it is a foul and that is the final decision.

Sporting Gijón's protest was ineffective, and the referee stood at the penalty spot with a serious expression and told the Sporting Gijón players to leave, while at the same time asking the Sporting Lisbon players to come quickly to take the penalty.

Hierro, the captain of Sporting Gijón, called the players away, knowing that the decision could not be changed. At this time, if you continue to pester the referee, you will eat the cards if you don't get it right, which will make it even worse.

"There is no change in the penalty award. "However, the slow motion shows that the penalty was dubious and that Sa Pinto's fall was exaggerated. ”

"It's a blow to Sporting Gijón. "They can only hope for their goalkeeper Valencia now!"

Sporting Lisbon's penalty taker was Sa Pinto, the Portuguese veteran who put the ball away and was ready to run and shoot.

With the exception of him and Sporting Gijón goalkeeper Valencia, all players from both sides were called out of the box.

Referee Angela Merkel glanced at the striker and goalkeeper, both nodded at him, and then Merkel blew the whistle in her mouth.

Sa Pinto runs, kicks up and shoots!

The Portuguese striker kicked to the left and Valencia pounced on his left to the left, which would have been a no-brainer.

However, perhaps it was too much to get the angle of the shot, and Sa Pinto's shot hit the left-hand post.

"Doorposts!"

The fans of Sporting Gijón erupted in loud cheers, while the fans of Sporting Lisbon fell silent......

The penalty was missed!

Many chairmen in the VIP box were speechless, and this meeting was really embarrassing.

***********

"Sporting Lisbon wasted a great chance to overtake the scoreline!"

"The post denied a shot from Sa Pinto!

On the sidelines, Li Ang jumped up and waved his fist: That's right, that's it, you don't want to get a penalty kick from cheating!

God has eyes!

Missing this penalty was a big blow to Sporting Lisbon, while Sporting Gijón was a morale booster.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was still 1-1, Leedsen took the lead for Sporting Lisbon, but Ribery's brilliant goal equalized for Sporting Gijón, and Sporting Lisbon missed a penalty near the end of the first half, which made Sporting Gijón feel good at the end of the first half.

At half-time, whether it's in the locker room, in the stands of the stadium, in the beer stands, in the bar, in the taxi...... There was a lively discussion about Ribery's equaliser. That goal was so beautiful, the equalizer directly stabilized the morale of the army.

Franck Ribery's rise to fame this season has seen the Frenchman become one of Sporting Gijon's favourite players, with fans enjoying seeing Ribery galloping, penetrating, shooting and scoring on the left side of the pitch.

Standing at the door of the dressing room, Leon did not interfere with the players' discussion of Ribery's goal and the opponent's penalty not being scored, which he thought was a good situation and showed that the morale of the whole team was good.

Ribery's goal and equaliser took the pressure off the team and gave the team hope of victory.

And Sporting Lisbon's missed penalty made Sporting Gijón people overjoyed, and some 'superstitious' players even began to think that God was on Sporting Gijón's side!

***********

On the other side, Sporting Lisbon president Dias came to the home team's dressing room to encourage his players to play well in the second half of the game and help Sporting Lisbon win the UEFA Cup.

Later, Sporting Lisbon head coach Pecero's words of encouragement were more direct: as far as he knows, there are many scouts in the stands of the Alvalad Stadium today, and Zhe is a good opportunity for the talents of Sporting Lisbon to perform!

This sentence is really useful, and many players have a sparkle in their eyes.

Although Sporting Lisbon are the only club in Portugal's top three that have not lifted the Champions League, they are in a league of their own when it comes to developing stars. The symbols of Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto are the eagle, lion and dragon respectively. The "Lions" who came out of Sporting Lisbon's academy include a series of stars such as Futra, Figo, Sa Pinto, Simao, Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo. The three "little lions" of Quaresma, Hugo Viana and Cristiano Ronaldo have paid the club a transfer fee of up to 40 million euros.

The Alcochet base, located 40 kilometres from Lisbon, is the "Academy" of Sporting Lisbon. The site covers an area of 25 hectares and is surrounded by beautiful fields, and from the rooms of the inn you can even see the grazing cows. The "Academy" includes 7 training grounds, a stadium with stands and a hotel, as well as facilities such as a library. Sporting Lisbon recruits talented people from all over Portugal and even Africa and South America to receive the best football education in the "Academy". The academy maintains a size of 200 players and sequentially allows 50 of them to train behind closed doors for a week. At the same time, the players must also study well, and Sporting Lisbon also offers educational facilities.

In fact, this model is very similar to the "Ajax model" and is not the first of its kind by the Portuguese. The difference, however, is that unless the players are very good, Ajax are only recruiting youngsters around Amsterdam. Sporting Lisbon's youngsters come from all over the world, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who is from Madeira, which ensures that the club has access to more talent.

And, like Ajax, Sporting Lisbon's senior squad is also adept at promoting youngsters. For example, the 18-year-old Moutinho, who made his first appearance against Benfica in the Portuguese Cup in the middle of the league, immediately became a regular and even the national team manager Scolari said he would "give him a chance"

In today's game, Moutinho started the game, but the performance can only be said to be average, at this moment, hearing the manager say so, Coutinho is also secretly gritting his teeth, the second half of the game must have a good performance!

He's going to show those scouts, to everyone, he's a genius!

***********

Li Ang waited for the players to talk and laugh for a while before he began to speak.

He repeatedly emphasized one word - patience.

'We have to be patient because Sporting Lisbon are the hosts and they are desperate to win the trophy at home, and a draw or even a penalty shoot-out is something they try to avoid, and the level of penalties in the Portuguese is something you saw in the first half. Leon said, his last words eliciting a burst of laughter in the locker room.

"Sporting Lisbon will definitely want to settle the fight in regular time, so they're going to press it out. That's our chance......"

Leon repeatedly stressed patience, because he knew what Sporting Gijón lacked the most, which was experience!

Sporting Lisbon is a regular in Europe and has a lot more experience than Sporting Gijón.

To a large extent, this kind of final competition is a competition of who makes the least mistakes and who is more patient!

It's easy to get caught up in a tug-of-war, and that's when patience and perseverance come in.

***********

Before the start of the second half, in the VIP lounge of the Alvalad Stadium, Inter Milan owner Moratti and club president Facchetti were whispering to each other.

"Giacinto, tell me what you think and what you think. Moratti asked the president of the team, Giaccinto Facchetti.

With Le Ang's performance leading Sporting Gijón as good as ever, La Liga winning the championship in sight, the UEFA Cup and the Spanish Copa del Rey have reached the finals, and Moratti's pursuit of Levon is also more eager and eager.

Moratti knows one thing, the first to start, not to mention whether Sporting Gijón can win the treble, the Copa del Rey championship is relatively low, not to mention, the remaining two, La Liga championship and the UEFA Cup champion, Leon's team can get one, it is enough to make this Chinese become a fragrant gluttony in the eyes of many teams, then there will be more giants to send an invitation to Leon, Inter Milan to do is to be one step ahead of others before others have substantive action.

"The on-the-spot command and adaptability was outstanding. Fachetti said matter-of-factly, "Now it's time to watch the second half, some coaches are very good, but they won't cope with the final!"

Facchetti's meaning is very clear, Leon can lead the team to the La Liga standings, which shows that Leon leads the team in the long term is very good, then, the League Cup final, such a European final, can reflect Leon's ability from another aspect.
