***********

On 13 February 2005, the 23rd round of La Liga was launched.

Sporting Gijón hosts Espanyol.

Despite being an ordinary league game, the Cornella El Prat Stadium, which can accommodate up to 40,000 people, is still packed.

Sporting Gijón is the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season, and is currently ranked second in the league, which has also aroused more and more interest from many media and fans, take the Spaniard's Cornella El Prat Stadium as an example, usually only with a giant like Real Madrid, or when the Barcelona derby with Barcelona, it will be full, but the game with Sporting Gijón has aroused so much interest among fans, and some media reports say that it is 'hard to find'!

Fans of other teams want to see what's so special about this season's biggest dark horse.

The Cornella El Prat Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, is not very large, and it cannot be compared to the Camp Nou, which can accommodate 80,000 or even 100,000 people, but the small and medium-sized stadiums have the advantage that the stands are full, and the fanatical fans can cause a lot of problems for the visiting team in the stands.

Espanyol is not a giant team, but it is also a traditional powerhouse in La Liga, just because there is a giant in the same city rival Barcelona, which makes the Spaniard's sense of existence very low, and now, looking at Sporting Gijón such a promoted horse ranking second in La Liga, this makes Espanyol fans also envious and jealous, and there is a very unhappy feeling: red eyes!

And the depression that has been pressed on the head of Barcelona for a long time, all kinds of unhappiness, Espanyol fans may have found an outlet for their emotions, and they vented this depression. Singing and shouting in the stands, from the beginning of the game until he was completely stunned, he basically never stopped.

They hope that their team can win Sporting Gijón and prove that the old La Liga team cannot be bullied.

However, it backfired, and Sporting Gijón soon took over the competition.

***********

Considering next week's UEFA Cup tie, Leon rotated in several positions, with veteran Chiesa starting in place of Di Natale.

Javier Blanco started in place of Franck Franco.

Just nine minutes into the game, Luka Modric, who started the game, opened the scoring with a long-range shot from outside the box.

Luka Modric was so excited after the goal that he still insists on practising his long-range shots with Carlos every day, and there is nothing more exciting for the youngster than scoring such a brilliant long-range shot in a game.

Then in the 32nd minute, Karim Benzema scored with a beautiful header that plunged the Cornela El Prat Stadium into a brief lull.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooool！”

"Karim Benzema, Karim Benzema, he scored a hat-trick last time and scored again today!"

"The Frenchman is in great form! This is his 10th league goal of the season!" exclaimed commentator Dagstino, "and now the seventeen-year-old is only the second player in the Sporting Gijón team to reach double figures!

After the goal, Benzema was very excited, constantly raising his arms, and seeing the news that Milito won the Player of the Month in January stimulated the youngster, and he also wanted the same bright news as the last time.

In the first half, Sporting Gijón took a two-goal lead, and the game was completely controlled by Sporting Gijón, and Espanyol was helpless.

***********

At the start of the second half, Leon began to make frequent substitutions, rotating for the League Cup 16-knockout game in the middle of next week.

In the 56th minute, he replaced the veteran Albertini with Juan Arango, with Leon dropping Modric back to play in central midfield, and Juan Arango with his left foot in the right midfield.

The Venezuelans gradually began to adapt to Leon's tactics, and although there was no surprise to make a name for himself in the first fight, he performed better and better.

As soon as Arango came out, he used a beautiful pass to shake the Espanyol defender Garcia to the north, and then sent a beautiful pass, but unfortunately the tacit understanding of his teammates was not enough and he was not able to insert it in time.

"The biggest problem for Venezuelans is that they need to get along. Banderas said.

Li Ang nodded, Arango's feet have work, a set of passes, and a good passing organization, but now the tacit understanding is insufficient.

In the 69th minute, Leon replaced Benzema with veteran Maegur Pihla. With Diego Milito injured, Karim Benzema is the only centre-forward he has at hand and needs to be protected.

Less than four minutes after Macoul Pihra came on the pitch, he received a cross from Javier Blanco and headed the ball into the penalty area, Espanyol goalkeeper Kameni subconsciously blocked the ball, and the follow-up Italian veteran Chiesa pushed the ball to the Espanyol goal for the third time.

The goal completely extinguished the Espanyol players' desire to win.

Before the end of the game, Sporting Gijón got the opportunity to take a set-piece in front, Chiesa hoisted the football into the penalty area, Pepe's header was ferried, Espanyol defender Jargui pushed the football out of the penalty area, Grosso shot at the top of the penalty area, and the score was locked at 4:0!

The Spaniards are keenly aware of the difference in quality between them and this promoted polo team!

***********

Sporting Gijón won away from home, and after the game, a question was raised by the Spanish media for the first time:

"There is a problem that we may not have paid attention to before, we have ignored, but now, this problem needs to be faced. Leon's troops are invincible, where are their swords pointing?"

Conquer it all!

Invincible!

The edge has been revealed!

You!

Where is the sword pointing?!
