Ranieri was completely dumbfounded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He arranged for Baraja to target Carlos and find a way to get Carlos off, and now it's good that Baraja himself was sent off.

At this moment, one word came to Ranieri's mind: defeat!

As the head coach of the team, he is well aware of Baraja's role in the team, and now that such a key midfield player has been sent off, the impact on Valencia can be imagined.

Ranieri began to think about substitutions, his eyes swept around the bench, and finally stayed on Fiore, who joined Valencia as Lazio's 'debt' to repay Mendieta's transfer fee, or Ranieri's trust.

"Stefano, go warm up!" Ranieri shouted at Fiore, who quickly stood up, put on his yellow vest, and followed the assistant coach to warm up.

At this time, Baraha's plea could only leave the scene in frustration when his plea failed.

Ranieri was still a good man at this time, and instead of getting angry at Baraha for not completing his task and making things worse, he came up to shake his hand with Baraha and comforted him.

When Li Ang saw this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but pout, the old man was quite good at buying people's hearts.

***********

With Baraja sent off and Valencia yet to make personnel and tactical adjustments, it was a good opportunity for Sporting Gijón to attack aggressively.

With a wave of Leon's big hand on the sidelines, the wind and clouds on the field moved.

Sporting Gijón suddenly stepped up its offensive.

Albertini won the ball in midfield, Di Natale ran out of the box, raised his hand to ask for the ball, and just when people thought Albertini was going to pass the ball to Di Natale, he suddenly passed a diagonal ball with a huge range of transfer, like a scalpel cutting through the open cloth, and with a stab, it tore through Valencia's defense.

The ball was passed to Luka Modric, who received it on the wing. There was a large blank belt in front of him, and he adjusted the football diagonally, and then rushed towards the penalty area with the ball.

Navarro desperately defended and knew that the Croatian was not the kind of player who was extremely fast, and there was no hope of catching up with him.

Seeing Navarro catching up, Modric suddenly made a sudden stop and braked, pulled the football, and avoided Navarro's tackle!

Then, the Croatian youth raised his eyes and looked at the penalty area, got his feet up, and crossed!

Diego Milito showed his true nature as a goalkeeper, he was originally running to the middle, but suddenly stopped halfway, turned back, and ran to the front point!

At this time, Modric's pass also arrived!

Milito falls straight to the ground and shovels!

Valencia goalkeeper Canizares' reaction speed is amazing, and although there is usually a lot of criticism about the veteran goalkeeper, his performance at this moment is amazing.

Very quickly fell to the ground and pounced.

***********

Canizares pounced on the football!

Milito's shot didn't go in!

The players of the Athletic Gijón team had planned to raise their hands to cheer for the goal, but when they saw the ball being saved, they put their raised hands down regretfully.

And the Valencia fans in the stands of the away team, seeing that the football was saved by Canizares, will excitedly shout Canizares' name and save the ball, which is almost equivalent to continuing to retain the Valencians' hope of equalizing!

They were about to chant Canizares' name, but the first syllable had just been exited, and the situation in front of the door changed.

Canizares tried very hard to save the football for the first time, which was done with all his might, he had no spare strength to shoot the football farther, and the football fell in front of the goal, and Canizares, as the goalkeeper, naturally knew that it was safest to completely control the football in his own hands, and he almost crawled to pounce on the football under him.

Ribery was going to rush in to grab the spot in the middle, which would have caused him and Milito to pounce on the middle at the same time, which would interfere with each other, but Milito suddenly ran forward and made a beautiful tackle.

Ribery was a little happy, but also a little regretful, happy that Milito was about to score, but unfortunately the goal was not scored by himself, and then the shot he didn't expect didn't go in, but was saved by Canizares, and what he didn't expect was that the saved ball happened to fall not far in front of his feet!

A godsend!

Ribery, who was about to shoot, was already feeling the shadow in front of him, and it was goalkeeper Canizares who pounced!

The fat in his hand, how could Ribery let it slip away.

He chose the safest way to shoot, and he went straight to the ground and tackled.

The ball jumped up from his shovel and flew right past the cheek of Canizares, who had fallen to the ground, and fell into the goal behind him, while Ribery was tackled by Canizares.

However, the results are beyond doubt!

The ball is in!

***********

“Goooooooooooooooooooooool！”

"Franck Ribery, he scored, he fell to the goalkeeper Canizares, is it a foul against the goalkeeper?! No! The referee signaled that the goal was valid! Sporting Gijón extended their lead at home and they are now 3-1 ahead of Valencia!"

"Oooh, oh, oh, the ball is in! Beautiful follow-up shot! Sporting Gijón leads the defending champions by two goals! Look! Look at the excitement of Coach Leon on the sidelines, ha, as if he was the one who scored the goal!"

"Sporting Gijón rewrote the score to 3-1! The defending champions are in big trouble, Ranieri is in big trouble, Baraja is sent off with a red card, and now, they have conceded a third goal! Ranieri's team is facing a difficult stage, can they get past it? They are running out of time, there are less than 20 minutes left in the game!!"

The camera gives close-ups of the two head coaches, and in one shot, Leon swings his fists into the sky and growls with his mouth open. A little farther away, Ranieri stood on the sidelines, and the old coach scratched his hair in pain...... It looks like there is nothing to be done about the current situation!

***********

There is really nothing to be done.

Although Ranieri then replaced Rufit, who was ineffective in today's game, with Fiore. Then he replaced Angulo with the 26-year-old Spanish local goalscorer Mista, but Valencia's attack still did not improve, but Sporting Gijón's counterattack was very sharp, and if it wasn't for the excellent performance of the old goalkeeper Canizares, they might even continue to concede goals!

Leon looked at the time, it was already the ninetieth minute of the game, and the regular time of the game had run out.

It's time for stoppage time!

The fourth official walked to the sidelines and held up a sign for stoppage time - three minutes.

Ranieri waved anxiously from the sidelines for the players to press up, leaving the defence alone. Now the score is still 1-3, Valencia is two goals behind!

Ranieri was pacing on the sidelines in a hurry, he had realized that this game was lacking, but he still hoped that the team could score another goal, for the defending champion Valencia, the loss to promoted Sporting Mahjón was 1-3 or 2-3, the result was no different, but, in terms of details, more or less to save face.

Leon was also on the sidelines, but he didn't roar, he didn't direct the team to defend, he seemed very quiet, he stood outside the sideline with his hands in his pockets, and watched the game unusually quietly.

At this time, there is basically nothing to do with the coach, the adjustments that should have been made have already been done, and everyone knows what should be said in their hearts, what's the use of yelling?!

And, Leon knows that no matter how much Valencia bombards, he believes his team can hold on. Because, on the one hand, Valencia's attack was thunderous and rainy, and did not really threaten Sporting Gijón's goal, and on the other hand, Leon knew that his players were eager to win the game, they wanted to complete the revenge of the Spanish Super Cup double by their opponents before the season, and they wanted to dedicate the victory to Juan Mata, who was recovering from injury, and this group of people would not allow the victory in hand to slip away even more than he as a manager.

***********

Finally, three minutes of stoppage time came.

With Fiore dribbling the ball and being tackled by Carlos, Valencia lost possession and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

At this moment, the head coach of Sporting Gijón could no longer be quiet, he pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets, then ran with both arms open, and even jumped up and shook his arms vigorously in the air!

He did the same with the other players and coaches who rushed out of the bench.

They couldn't be happier!

They weren't just so excited because they won the game, won the defending champions and avenged their pre-season Copa del Rey double.

Because, a minute ago, on another field, Sevilla were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Mallorca!

What does this mean?!

This means that the three points for the win over Valencia against Sporting Gijón are in hand, so now:

They're second in the league!
