Chapter 220: Tempest and Rain (I)

The race has begun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The whole Estadio El Molinon sang loudly, the home fans burst into great enthusiasm, this game, they have waited too long, they miss La Liga so much, they are eager to return to the place where they should be!

At this time, the camera gave the away team coach on the sidelines, and Alaves' head coach McCaronal couldn't sit still, he stood on the sidelines, staring at the field, his expression was extremely grim. It was only five minutes into the game, and the gentleman couldn't sit still--- he thought that Sporting Gijón at home would press their goal as much as possible, and that Sporting Gijón would attack, but after the game started, McCaronal realized that Sporting Gijón's attack was so crazy......

At the beginning of the game, it was Alaves who kicked off, and it stands to reason that Alaves should take advantage of this opportunity to keep the football at their feet, and then launch wave after wave of successive attacks, threatening the gate of Sporting Gijón, scoring the first goal correctly, and dragging the game into the familiar track of the Alaves.

Alaves are one of the best teams in La Liga with attacking power, and they finished fourth in the league this season, but Alaves are second in the league in terms of goals, which shows their attacking ability.

But. Before they could get close to the Sporting Gijón goal, their attack was intercepted by Juan Carlos and Miguel Kobas combined.

Then, after the break, Sporting Gijón did not mean to slow down, but immediately organized the attack by Mikul Kobas.

Miguel Kobas split the ball and Juan Mata took the ball and used his skill and speed to dribble forward.

Angel went up to follow Juan Mata, but was stopped by the opponent, and after losing his position, he passed the football to the penalty area.

Maguel Pihra was interrupted by Alaves centre-back Carlos Teles to complete a header that Barrez then fired a direct volley over the crossbar.

There was a burst of applause in the stands, although the goal did not go in, but the counterattack launched immediately after Sporting Gijón broke the ball was still very morale-boosting!

***********

"Are the two teams going to play against each other?" said commentator Dagstino.

In the Alaves lineup, Natekso and Dolosgue and Desio are all pressed very high, only Angel is a lagging midfielder, from the adjustment of this position can be seen from the Alaves team's intentions, they intend to completely suppress Sporting Gijón with attack in this game, the ideal result is that Sporting Gijón can't even go out of the half.

This is also the confidence of Alaves to dominate the Spanish Second League, their offensive ability is strong, and they often press the opponent out of breath, only the ability to parry, and there is no power to fight back.

In addition, on the side of Sporting Gijon, Leon made a change to the starting line-up, that is, Juan Mata dropped back to the midfield to play left wing-back, while the forward line was the partnership of McGur Pihra and Barez.

With such an adjustment, Sporting Gijón's midfield is even more threatening. Juan Mata's technique and breakthrough skills are better than Javier Blanco's, while Barez's ability to play the ball up front is also good, and he can form a certain complement to McGur Picla.

Therefore, Sporting Gijón's tactics today are also very clear, that is, attack!

Alaves' tactics were attacking and they were eager to press down Sporting Gijón from the start, but unfortunately they were up against a scrappy and well-prepared Sporting Gijón today.

Alaves may have formulated a strategy from the beginning to use the tee to pressure Sporting Gijón to take the lead if they got the right to kick off, but before their offensive could get up, they were cut off by Sporting Gijón, and then Sporting Gijón also launched a counterattack to give Alaves a dismount!

Not only did they get off the horse, but in the following game, Sporting Gijón completely took over the game, and they put maximum pressure on the Alaves goal and firmly controlled the pace of the game!

This completely caught Alaves off guard.

The last time the two teams met in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Leon's side beat Alaves 3-0, but in that game, Sporting Gijón held almost all the stops in the first half, relying only on a few counter-attacking opportunities in the second half.

Therefore, although the game was lost to Sporting Gijón 0-3, the Alaves players were not convinced, and they made up their minds to destroy the fighting spirit of Sporting Gijón with attacks at the beginning of the game!

However, what the Alaves did not expect was that after the game began, it was themselves who were stunned by the attack! In the face of the crazy offensive of Sporting Gijón, Alaves, who was somewhat caught off guard, began to fall into a panic.

***********

In the ninth minute of the game, Alaves finally got a chance to counter-attack, they pressed heavily and prepared to play a counter-attack for Sporting Gijón, but their pass was cut off again outside the Sporting Gijón penalty area, and Sporting Gijón's pressing tactics were successful again.

After the ball was successfully broken, Sporting Gijón immediately attacked.

Marcos, who broke the ball, passed to Mikuel Kobas, who organized the attack, and Mikoul Kobas took the ball.

After seeing Mikul Kobas get the ball. Decio quickly pounced, and Miguel Kerbas was the heart of Sporting Gijon's midfield attack and was a key target. He's going to push Miguel Kobas while slowing down Sporting Gijon's attack.

Miguel Kobas saw Decio lunge towards him. He passed the football to Juan Mata, who was not far away.

Almost as soon as he was passing, Angel pounced on Juan Mata, intending to take advantage of his opponent's unstable footing and make a tackle when Mata received the ball.

Angel stepped forward to defend Juan Mata...... Beautiful!" Dagostino exclaimed excitedly.

Mata slammed the ball inside as Angel pounced, and Angel seemed to expect Mata to dunk the ball, and he hit back a second time, showing off his masterful footwork, smashing the ball inside with his heel and passing it back between his legs to Marcos' feet.

Angel was teased!

And for Alaves, the most important thing is that in the face of this attack by Sporting Gijón, their defense that they temporarily blocked in the middle collapsed: Angel and Desio both rushed up, and then both were breached, and now the result is - Alaves' defense in the midfield has been broken through, and now there is a blank space that can be crossed directly from the left midfield to the penalty area!

**********

Marcos immediately transferred the football to Miguel Kobas, who did not delay and passed the football forward with a big foot, and he was looking for Barez!

"Sporting Gijón's attack is here again!!" shouted Dalstino.

When Barrez stopped the ball, there were only three Alaves defenders in front of him. On the Sporting Gijón side, Maguel Pichra was already in the box, while Juan Mata and full-back Jeffrey had also rushed to the edge of the box.

Mikoul Kobas is now rushing forward after passing the football to Barrez again.

Juan Carlos has also moved forward, ready to pick up teammates or intercept opponents from outside the box.

Only Marcos remained firmly in his own half.

It can be said that all the forces that can be invested in the attack of Sporting Gijón are all pressed up at this moment!

They even formed a local advantage of playing more and playing less!

In this game, Leon pulled Mata back into midfield, and he only had one thing to consider, Mata has good technique and speed! Especially the latter, Mata and full-back Jeffrey, both have one thing in common: speed.

In this way, the left side of Sporting Gijón can burst out with great speed and suddenness when switching from defense to attack!

Li Ang expected that Alaves must also want to focus on attack, and at this time, the most important thing for Sporting Gijón in attack is not ball control, but speed. He's going to speed up in midfield!

Barrez didn't stop long after receiving the ball, but passed it sideways, and Mata came up to catch it!

***********

At this moment, seeing the position of Mata to get the ball, Alaves' head coach McCaronal on the sidelines was anxious: Mata went up to get the ball, there was no defender around him, and just now Alaves tried to play a counterattack, and their right full-back Matisno rushed up to participate in the attack, at this time, he was desperately trying to return to the defense.

Juan Mata was resolute, he received the ball and cut straight inside into the box!

Alaves' centre-backs, who were defending Macoul Pihra and Barez, saw Mata pushing so resolutely into the box, and one of the centre-backs, Trota, quickly dropped Barrez and went up to intercept.

Seeing Trotta rushing out to intercept him, Mata immediately slammed his foot to shoot, tricking Trotta into flying to block it, but suddenly split the ball......

Then one saw Sporting Gijón's full-back Jeffrey interspersed.

Jeffrey catches up with the ball and crosses it straight into the box from close to the baseline.

"Barez, there's no one around him...... He shot ......"

Alaves was stunned by a flurry of passes from Sporting Gijón and made the most fatal mistake, with Juan Mata defending, Magul Pihra defending, and it was Barez, who rarely got a chance to start, who suddenly started today, who was missed.

In the face of Jeffrey's pass, Barrez shoots straight at goal!

The ball flew straight towards the goal, Alaves goalkeeper Pablo flew to save, but it was too close, and Barez's shot was powerful...... There is simply nothing the goalkeeper can do.

Almost as soon as Pablo fell to the ground, the football had already passed under him, knocking the snow-white net high into the air, and shaking the enthusiasm of the whole stadium!
