On September 19, 2004, in the third round of La Liga, Sporting Gijón played away against Real Zaragoza. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

La Romeda Stadium, home of the Zaragoza team.

In the home team's dressing room.

Leon explained the details of his tactical deployment one last time, and then he looked at the time of the watch on his wrist.

"Finally, a little bit about something that may not be related to the game. Leon looked at his players.

"Those words in the newspaper, some of the things that happened, I'm sure many people know. Li Ang's face was gloomy, "I don't want to say too much, I only have one requirement for this game, win the game!"

"Score!"

'Maybe some people will feel that it is me as the manager who is humiliated, it has nothing to do with him, if anyone has such a thought, stand up. ”

Naturally, no fool will come forward, and everyone can see that the head coach is angry.

***********

"The boss was angry. Mata whispered to Carlos.

"Mata, what are you talking about?" Leon immediately noticed Mata.

"Chief, I say, take care of the Zaragozas. Mata said quickly.

Leon no longer paid attention to Mata, his expression was hideous, "What kind of person I am, I believe that some of you here already know very well, and some people don't understand it yet. ”

"You are my players, if anyone is bullied, what will I do? I will open my mouth to curse, I will roll up my sleeves and fight, if nothing else, you are my players, my people! As for whether I am bragging, you can inquire. ”

"Boss, we believe you're such a person!" Javier Blanco stood up suddenly, and when he was in Team B, Leon dared to stand up for the players and face the radical fans, which said it all.

Leon nodded and motioned for Blanco to sit down.

"I'm saying this to make you understand that we are one! You are my players, no matter what, I will support you! At the same time, there is a manager who provokes you, what should you do?" Li Ang gritted his teeth and shouted, in fact, as a head coach, although he was attacked and humiliated by the opposing fans, it didn't seem appropriate to encourage the whole team to fight like this, but Li Ang did just that, he felt that he was not wrong, he regarded himself and the players as a whole, and he lost both losses and glory!

Among the players, those who were promoted with the team last season were also indignant at this time, and Leon was the coach they respected, especially Carlos, Mata, Marcos, Blanco and other descendants brought by Leon from the B team, and they were even more enemies!

As for the new players such as Di Natale, Milito and Grosso, Leon is the coach who brought them to La Liga, and it can be said that they have the grace of knowing it, and the manager is humiliated, and they naturally cannot remain indifferent. Moreover, they really think that the Zaragoza people have gone too far.

***********

Li Ang is using such straightforward statements and reasoning to call on the whole team to avenge him!

At the same time, he also realized that this was an opportunity to strengthen the collectivist education of the whole team, instilling the idea of 'one loss and one glory', and at the same time, the head coach was humiliated, and he encouraged the players to fight, which did not hinder his prestige, but to some extent, strengthened the relationship between the players and the manager!

The team's captain, Fernando Hierro, and the team's vice-president, Demetrio Albertini, looked at their teammates who were screaming at the manager's words, and the two looked at each other, and they could feel that the coach was genuinely angry.

The two veteran stars also shook their heads at the provocative and almost racist insults of the Zaragozans, who hated it with great abhorrence.

Grievances on the football field, settled on the football field, mixed with this mess, is a shame!

At this time, assistant coach Scott came over and reminded him that it was time to play.

Leon slammed his fist on the table, "Until the whistle blows at the end of the game, the offense doesn't stop! I need to score, I need to win, more goals!"

"Since they want war, I'll give them war!" he roared through gritted teeth.

***********

Players at the Stadio La Romarda.

Players from both sides are lined up in two teams and are waiting to enter.

Athletic Gijón captain Fernando Hierro stands at the head of the queue, and to his right is Zaragoza's captain and captain Savio, two former Real Madrid stars who are the captains of both teams and will be one of the highlights of today's game.

"Fernando, how are you doing in Gijón?" said the thirty-year-old Savio to the thirty-six-year-old captain Hierro.

"Not bad. Hierro patted Savio on the shoulder.

Savio glanced at the other players of Sporting Gijón, and saw that all of them had serious expressions, even angry, he was a little surprised, it stands to reason that Zaragoza was eliminated by Sporting Gijón in the Copa del Rey last season, and it should be Zaragoza to be angry and revenge, why are the people of Gijón so angry.

"Today, we're going to give it our all. Hierro suddenly said to Savio with a serious face.

Savio glanced at Hierro, who had no smile at this time and had an extremely serious expression, and was shocked in his heart.

He wondered, what was it that stimulated these Gijons?!

Then, when the players from both sides lined up and entered the pitch, Zaragoza captain Savio understood the reason for all this.

The 34,596-seat La Romar Radar Stadium was packed, and the stands were full of people.

In the center of the stands, a huge caricature statue is so conspicuous.

This is a huge cartoon of a yellow-skinned Chinese with long pigtails from the Qing Dynasty, kneeling in front of a swaggering Westerner!

Considering that the head coach of Sporting Gijón is Chinese, the meaning of this extremely humiliating cartoon is self-evident.

Zaragoza's captain Savio had a grim expression and was worried in his heart, he knew that the anger of the Atletico Gijón was because of this!

In the coach's bench on the sidelines, Leon stood there, his eyes staring at the humiliating cartoon, which was different from what he saw in the newspaper, such a huge cartoon was visually more impactful, and it also made him angry and hateful!

"Damn! You're messing with me!"

***********

The camera first gave the huge humiliating caricature in the stands.

Then, the camera gave a close-up of Leon, and the hideous facial expression of the head coach of Sporting Gijón was faithfully presented to all the viewers in front of the TV.

The two shots speak for themselves.

"It's a shame, it's a shame for Spanish football!" said commentator Dagstino, "In La Liga, there are fans who humiliate the opposing coach with such humiliating and discriminatory behavior, which is beyond the scope of football!"

"We saw that Coach Leon had a very ugly expression, and he must be very painful in his heart now!" Gonzalez said, "Maybe the Zaragoza people are still dissatisfied with being eliminated by Sporting Gijón last season, but that is the category of football, it is a matter on the football field, it is they who lost to Gijón on the field, and if they blame the opposing head coach for such a failure, and they attack and discriminate against the opposing head coach, it is simply an unimaginable nightmare and shame!"

In front of the TV, the fans of Sporting Gijón who saw this scene were stunned for a moment, and then angry.

Li Ang is the hero of the team's promotion, the coach who is respected and loved by the fans, and they feel the same way when he is humiliated like this, and they can't accept it!

This scene in the stands is destined to become a controversial topic after the game, but now, after all, it has begun.

***********

Leon is in a 4411 formation today, with the goalkeeper veteran Valencia, the left back is Italian Grosso, the central defender is Pepe and the veteran Hierro's partner, and the right wing-back he still uses last season's main player Dorado.

In midfield, Albertini's injury proved to be no big problem, so he started today with Carlos in a back two, with Franck Ribery appearing at left midfield.

Up front, Leon used Milito's single arrow, but behind Milito was Di Natale, who was tasked with supporting Milito.

It is worth mentioning Mata's position today, which is also what Leon has been practicing in training, but it is the first time that Mata has taken on such an important position and role in today's game.

In the midfield of Sporting Gijón, Albertini is the metronome, and the role is to organize the game, so the midfield of Sporting Gijón lacks a real playmaker, or it can be understood that it lacks a striker.

These players in the Sporting Gijón team do not have a real midfielder, Mata is not, and neither is Modric.

Leon has been thinking about how to use the existing player configuration to solve the problem of the organizers.

Finally, I thought of an era change in the development of football in the LinkedIn Super League, which was later performed by Manchester City's Silva and Chelsea's Juan Mata.

That is the use and development of the wing-forward technology.

The wide midfielder, as the name suggests, combines the playing style and characteristics of the full-back and the forward midfield, breaks through the limitations of the position and range of movement of the two on the court, and uses their good passing, control, and dribbling abilities to swim in the front court. These players tend to combine the brains of the field commander with the dribbling skills of the wide attackers, which is why the wide midfielders are able to change the game in a small area and space.

There are a group of players who are short but have the ability to dominate the game in a laughing and laughing way, they are thin but they are unique in their moves, they are not spectacular and they are good at waiting for the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow, they are never the center of attention, but the real key to the victory of their team.

There has always been a misconception that a thin but skilled midfielder is synonymous with flashiness, but the presence of a wide midfielder has changed all that.

Of course, so far, discrimination against thin players is also a common opinion in La Liga, Mata's outstanding performance in Gijon, although it also made this little guy famous, but it did not really cause those giants to poach the corner, because of the concern about Mata's thin body.

At this time, no one is aware of the impact that Leon has had for Mata to play in this position, called a wide midfielder, and the far-reaching impact it has had in football.

ps: I searched for information on Zaragoza for a few hours, and finally thanked the book friend Ridma Jiahuang for his help.

Competitive novels, looking for information is the most painful, in 2004 in the information, it is really crazy. Because of the long time, a lot of the information that used to exist on the Internet is now gone.

Today a change.

On the 27th, which is Sunday, well, it is tomorrow, there will be surprises. (To be continued.) )
