Sporting Gijón won 3-0 away at Parma to take the lead in the two-legged knockout round. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his post-match press conference, Parma coach Camegiani bitterly conceded defeat, but refused to raise his hand in surrender, saying that he would see a different Parma in the second leg at the Estadio El Molinon.

The team won relatively easily, Leon was in a good mood, and did not turn on the mockery mode, he talked about the past glory of Parma, said that he liked Parma very much, and sent blessings to Parma, which also won the favor of the Parma people, so that the local reporters in Parma were surprised, what a good, humble person, why are some Spanish colleagues saying bad things about this person?!

However, good feelings do not mean not angry, the home loss is 0-3, Parma's fans and media are quite disappointed and dissatisfied, Parma fell to the scene of such a situation, the Italian media is also unbearable.

As a glorious symbol of the Italian Small World Cup, Parma, one of the seven sisters of Serie A, was easily beaten by the La Liga dark horse team, and the Italians were naturally extremely sad and dissatisfied.

However, the general opinion of the hard-mouthed Italian media is that 0-3 is not a reflection of the true strength of the two teams, and Parma's real strength is not weaker than their opponents, and even some Italians insist that Parma's strength is actually stronger than that of Sporting Gijón, and the reason why Parma will lose so badly is still related to Parma's current poor financial situation and uncertain future！

Some Italian media even began to take the initiative to find a 'owner' for Parma, such as "Roma Sport" put forward a constructive suggestion, suggesting that Michel Ferrero, the richest man in Italy and the head of the Ferrero family, take down Parma and save the Cow Army from fire and water, which also aroused the excitement and longing of Parma fans.

***********

However, this time, "Milan Sports Newspaper" has a more objective and fair analysis of this game, and is full of praise for Leon and Sporting Gijón.

Di Gennarro, a well-known columnist for the newspaper Sport, analyzed the match in detail and in his column, he highly praised Leon: "...... The Chinese coach has already led the team by storm in the Iberian Peninsula...... Coach Li Ang's insistence on initiative and youthful team building ideas has paid off, and the players of Sporting Gijón, who are excellent in athleticism and physical fitness, have injected new blood into La Liga with diligent running, powerful impacts, and crazy pressing, and their tactical style of play has made the Italian club (Parma) at a loss. In contrast, former European Cup Winners' Cup winners Parma do not have a clear technical advantage and are often prone to passing errors under pressure from Sporting Gijón. Moreover, weaknesses such as the isolation of the forward line and the lack of interception in the midfield are also magnified by Camigiani's arrangement. The new Parma coach is like an antique classic car, which has been swept away by the fierce little sports car of Sporting Gijón. ”

Di Gennarro's article also aroused the dissatisfaction of some Italian media, who thought that the well-known Italian football media personality 'grew up with others to destroy his own prestige', and that he praised Leon and Sporting Gijón too much...... They were a little upset.

What is less known is that this column by Di Gennarro, a well-known Italian supporter of Inter Milan, appeared on Moratti's desk the next day.

Leon ignored the follow-up story from Parma's side, and the day after the game, the entire Sporting Gijón team returned to Spain.

They were warmly welcomed by the Sporting Gijón fans at the airport, who were proud to have reached the last four of this season's UEFA Cup with one foot in the big win over Parma.

Not only the fans of Sporting Gijón cheered, but the local media in Gijón sent praises to Sporting Gijón, and the major media in Spain also waved their flags and shouted for Sporting Gijón for the first time.

That's because Villarreal lost 2-1 at home to AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup at the same time.

In the UEFA Champions League, in the previous quarterfinals, Real Madrid was eliminated by Juventus, Barcelona was eliminated by Chelsea, there is no Spanish club in the Champions League, and in the League Cup, now Villarreal is very likely to be out, only Sporting Gijón has a great hope of reaching the final four of the League Cup, in this case, Sporting Gijón is likely to be the only seedling in La Liga in the European competition, so even those media who no longer like Li Ang and Sporting Gijón have to cheer for Li Ang and Sporting Gijón at this time。

Should Villarreal be eliminated by AZ Alkmaar, Sporting Gijón will be the last fig leaf for La Liga sides in Europe this season.

"Now, folks, all of Spain is up to us to save face. On the second day, between training sessions, Leon said this to his players in a half-joking tone.

His players were proud when they heard this.

Their current step forward in the UEFA Cup is a huge breakthrough for Sporting Gijón in Europe and the face of La Liga in European competition.

***********

Leon was in a good mood with a big win away at Parma, which means they will have an easier second leg.

This is extremely important for Sporting Gijón, who are currently playing in the third tier of the Copa del Rey, La Liga and UEFA Cup, and they can get a rare respite.

From the beginning of April to the end of the league on May 29, these nearly two months are the most crucial period of the entire season for Leon and Sporting Gijón, and it will be interesting to see if the hard work of a season can pay off.

They reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey against Atletico Madrid, and in the UEFA Cup they also have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals, while in La Liga they are just one point behind leaders Barcelona with eight games remaining, and the two teams still have a head-to-head match.

For the dark horse of Sporting Gijón, although it sounds a little crazy and incredible, it is really possible for them to achieve the great glory of the 'Triple Crown'!

Is it the "Triple Crown" that has achieved a brilliant victory, or is it the collapse of Sporting Gijón with a thin lineup under heavy pressure, and the particles are empty-handed?

The next two months will be a huge pressure and test for Leon.

It's also the busiest day of a season, the most stressful time, the most exhausting time.

Because of this, whenever Leon returned to the apartment exhausted and looked at the empty house, his heart was inevitably more tired and lonely.

Therefore, when he got off work from the Malayao training base on this day and came home, he was surprised to see the lights on in the room, his heart moved, he couldn't wait to open the door, and vaguely looked at Alice who was busy in the kitchen with an apron, so he still put himself on the sofa, 'Ge You lying', through the glass window, watching the beautiful figure busy like a butterfly, feeling that he had embraced the happiness of the whole world.

PS: 2nd update. Today the high speed is blocked, and I am exhausted.

Call for a monthly pass. I'm so tired to say, stay up late today to code words, happy May Day.
