Chapter 117: The Donkey is Exhausted! (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Leon looked up at the scoreboard, the game had been going on for seventy-nine minutes, and the score on the field was still 0-0. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Leon fulfilled his agreement with Carlos and did not replace Jeffrey.
In fact, Leon was surprised and satisfied by the performance of the Dutch little guy, and Jeffrey's performance in the second half was so different from the first half that if you didn't look at the guy, you would even think it was two people.
In the first half, Jeffrey was so frightened and embarrassed by his opponent that Carlos had to go to that side repeatedly to make up for it.
In the second half, Geoffrey was fierce and decisive, and he successfully smashed Levante's attempt to find a goal from his side with an aggressive tackle.
In addition, Jeffrey's tough defense also liberated Carlos, and he no longer needed to make up for Jeffrey's Carlos frequently, and he fully played his role as a midfield sweeper, tearing Levante's offense apart!
As a result, seeing that the game is about to enter the last ten minutes, the Levantes still haven't been able to score!
Levante head coach Lopez jumped up and down sharply on the sidelines, constantly roaring, waving his arms, and urging the players to strengthen their offense!
However, in front of the goal of Sporting Gijón, Carlos built a wall in the middle!
On both flanks, Leon made timely adjustments to let Rafal Sastre go to help defend Borgeiro, while Jeffrey's side was like a chicken blood, so to speak, the players of Sporting Gijón were united to build a moving wall that would be difficult for the Levantes to break!
Seeing Lopez's angry appearance, Leon couldn't suppress the smile in his heart.
For Levante, not being able to win this game is definitely an unforgivable thing.
And for Leon and Sporting Gijón, it would be an absolute surprise to be able to pick up points from the leaders, and with almost all of them on the bench. It's also a huge boost to the morale of the whole team: our substitutes are able to contain the leaders, so what else can't we do?!
***********
Levante now looked powerless against Sporting Gijon's tough defence: the middle was stopped by Carlos and the wide attack was ineffective.
The Levante team simply started the ball directly from the back and fed the ball to the forwards in front.
Seeing this scene, assistant coach Scott Ferry happily said to Leon, "The Levantes are in a hurry!"
"That's right! They're starting to get anxious, and the more anxious they are, the safer we are!" said Leon. Seeing that the Levantes actually played the tactics of long pass and hanging, he knew that Levante was flustered, the Spanish team pays attention to ground cooperation, they advocate the attack of mercury, for the long pass and rush, the Spaniards look down on it in their bones, and, because they are the tactical configuration of ground cooperation, their players are essentially not used to the tactics of long pass rushing, so Levante is now actually playing 'rough English play', which shows that they are really flustered.
Levante's tactics of playing high balls were completely unable to cause any problems for this Sporting Gijón defence in attack. Sporting Gijón's two central defenders, Dias and Isma, are not at a loss in height, and their header ability is good, their shortcoming is that they turn slowly, but they are not afraid of high-altitude balls, so when the opponent cannot threaten them from the ground and has to play a long pass, they are not afraid of defending high-altitude balls at all!
In the 83rd minute of the game, the statistics of the match so far were displayed on the TV screen, and Levante had a staggering 71 percent possession, while Sporting Gijón had 29 percent!
"It's amazing, Sporting Gijón may have had the lowest possession rate ever in La Liga, but their goal looks safer!" said Dagstino.
"It's incredible! Levante faced an almost all-substitute Sporting Gijón, they had an astonishing 71 per cent possession and 16 shots on goal, but they never managed to score," Gonzalez said.
"One thing that's worth noting is that Levante's sixteen shots on goal, 11 in the first half, and they've only had five shots in the second half so far!
"That means Levante had less and less possession in the second half, but there was less and less of a threat to Sporting Gijón!" Gonzalez replied to Dagstino's question.
This is also the reason why Leon said that Sporting Gijón's goal is getting safer and safer!
Levantes' possession is ineffective!
What's more, this kind of high-flying style of play is not what Levante is good at at all, and the tough defense of the opponent Du Gijón Athletic is already a poor donkey.
***********
Eighty-five minutes into the game, and counting injury time, Levante has only seven or eight minutes left.
Ten minutes ago, Leon began to warm up the players on the bench, and he had to use the substitutions to consume the game time, and he was very satisfied with the fact that he could fight for a draw.
Now that he has begun to make substitutions, Leon did not replace three people in one go. Instead, switch to one every minute or two.
The score is still 0:0, and his goal has been achieved. Next, make reasonable use of the rules. Delay the game, and a point will be in hand.
Leon was proud of being able to rest his main players for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Zaragoza three days later, to train these substitutes, and to be able to pick points from Levante.
In the eighty-fifth minute, Leon replaced Volco with team captain Miguel Kobas, and today Folko was not able to give the team any help in attack, which is also the reason why Sporting Gijón's offense almost completely disappeared, but, defensively, this player is also very hard-working, so Leon is still relatively satisfied with Verco, after all, Folko's strength is limited, and he cannot take care of both offensive and defensive ends at the same time.
In the 89th minute, Leon replaced David Lago with Juan Mata, who did not have a bright performance at the offensive end today, but Largo completed two of the only three shots of Sporting Gijón, and Lago's speed is also a deterrent to Levante's goal, so for a player's performance, you can't look at boring technical data, the coach has to have his own judgment in his heart.
The last substitution, Leon intends to save until injury time, he intends to replace Jeffrey with full-back Alegre, this time to replace Jeffrey, but this is a compliment to the Dutch youngster.
Leon was a chance to give Jeffrey a courtesy to receive the cheers of the home fans. The performance of this youngster in the second half of the game impressed Li Ang, and he didn't expect that he had a whim to let Jeffrey play fullback, and he really played famously, Li Ang is now wondering whether he doesn't need to rush to recruit in the position of left fullback, and whether he can give this young player more time in the future.
***********
The staff held up a sign indicating two minutes of stoppage time in the game, which made Levante's head coach Lopez furious, who felt that the stoppage time was too short.
"Bastard! the blind referee ......"
The fourth official heard Lopez's foul language, and he had long been fed up with the complaints and protests of the head coach of the leader of the Spanish Second League, so this time, the fourth official had a cold face and he directly called the referee to deal with it.
The visiting coach, who had been chattering on the sidelines in protest during today's game, finally made the referee unbearable, and he showed Lopez a red card directly and sent Coach Levante to the stands.
There were cheers from the stands, and the fans of Sporting Gijón were happy to see the league leader's manager sent off for a foul mouth, and it was enough to be sent off to the stands with a substitute to force the head coach of the leader Levante to jump to the stands, which was enough to prove how good the home team played.
Leon finally decided to use up the last substitution.
Alegre stood on the sidelines, waiting for a dead ball to appear on the pitch in order to replace Jeffrey.
It was at this point that Levante attacked again, this time, Diego Camacho made a big foot pass and the diagonal line shifted to the right wing, Sergio Garcia headed the ball over, and Rivera just stopped the ball when he saw Jeffrey's face.
The Dutchman is getting more and more confident as he plays, and he is always on the lookout for Rivera!
He remembered what Carlos had told him: this is your territory! Anyone who wants to break through here can kill him!
As long as the game is not over, he is always on his toes and ready to fight!
At this time, on the sidelines, Leon's eyes suddenly lit up, and Levante's attack can be said to be pouring out...... If Jeffrey can make the first steal, then what does Levante's empty half of the race mean for Sporting Gijon? Just thinking about it makes Leon excited!
Now the question is, can Jeffrey complete this defense!
Leon's eyes were fixed on his left side, Jeffrey rushed directly to Rivera, taking advantage of Rivera's time to stop the ball, the Dutch teenager made a decisive move, this time, Jeffrey did not make a tackle, but a smart stab......
