Chapter 573: Win!
Since the last communication with Moratti, Facchetti has been following Sporting Gijón and Leon all this time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Objectively speaking, the president of Inter Milan has an attitude of affirmation and appreciation for Leon, and Sporting Gijón can lead La Liga, which is the most telling thing, and it is not easy to snatch the first place in the league from Barcelona, which has led almost half of the season. The league title is a tug-of-war, a long-term battle, which shows the stability of the team.
Considering the attributes of Sporting Gijón's promotion horse, this is a team built by Li Ang himself, which shows Li Ang's ability to build a team, and his vision for players and his ability to cultivate players are also excellent.
In such a situation, Facchetti's remaining consideration is Leon's ability to lead the team to cup competitions, especially cup finals.
The league is long-term and a test of stability.
The cup competition is mostly accidental and more cruel, which is a great test for the coach's on-the-spot command and even his ability to withstand pressure.
"What if Leon leads Sporting Gijón to the UEFA Cup. Moratti asked Fachetti.
"I'm going to give him my full support. Fachetti said categorically, "As long as he can bring victory and championship to Inter Milan!"
Moratti was waiting for Facchetti's words, and the Inter Milan boss was looking forward to the second half of the game. He felt that his Inter Milan was a little dead and in need of some fresh air after years without a title, and what could be more direct than an incomparably young champion coach?!
***********
In the away dressing room at the Alvalad Stadium.
"In the second half, we have to be patient, so the tactics of the second half of the game, defend and counterattack. Leon finally said.
When Li Ang said this, no one was surprised, in the pre-match tactical analysis, Li Ang and they focused on the analysis of the game on the receiving mentality, Sporting Lisbon is the host, is the Portuguese Super League giants, the Portuguese do not want to be the losing side in the final in Lisbon for two consecutive years, so, Sporting Lisbon is more eager to solve the battle in 90 minutes of game time, in the first half of the game Sporting Gijón equalized, the opponent also missed a penalty, which will make Sporting Lisbon more impatient, so, in the second half of the game, Sporting Lisbon is likely to continue to press the attack, Sporting Gijón has to do is, taking advantage of Sporting Lisbon's eagerness to equalize, waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack and strive to exceed the score.
This is the wishful thinking of Sporting Gijón, but whether it can be played or not, no one knows now.
"When counterattacking, you have to be fast......" Speaking of which, Leon looked at Berry, who has amazing speed, which is a very important weapon in counterattacks.
"Frank, you have to be ready to speed up the counter-attack. Leon said, then glanced at Mata again, "Mata you too!"
Leon's counter-attack for Sporting Gijón is not focused on a certain point, but on both flanks being active, which can harass Sporting Lisbon's defensive attention to the greatest extent.
"Antonio. "In the second half you have to work harder, you have to retreat aggressively and come to the midfield to receive the ball. We also tried to pass the ball in front of us as much as possible to give Ribery and Juan Mata space to run. But if the counter-attack is blocked, stabilize it immediately, keep the ball at your feet, and don't easily waste the opportunity to attack. ”
Hearing Leon say this, Di Natale nodded, this is the manager's trust, let him send cannonballs to Ribery and Mata.
"Diego, your job is to harass their penalty area, and when your teammates pass the ball into the box, they can control the ball in the box, whether it's a shot or a pass, it's up to you!" Leon said to Diego Milito.
The Argentine striker nodded, understanding his role as a fulcrum in the penalty area and up front, ensuring that the team's counter-attacks were in control of the ball. Anyway, it's about mixing up in the Sporting Lisbon penalty area as much as possible and creating chances for other team-mates.
***********
The second half of the game began.
Sporting Gijón put on a solid posture and hoped that Sporting Lisbon would attack.
This kind of surrender of the initiative made Sporting Lisbon coach Pesero happy.
Sporting Lisbon did exactly what Sporting Gijón wanted, attacking aggressively.
Pecero was delighted to see his team start to dominate the pitch and Sporting Gijón's formation was compressed. Unfortunately, he didn't have to be happy for long, as he found that Leon had a very careful plan on how to defend, and Sporting Lisbon seemed to dominate possession, but it was difficult to really threaten Sporting Gijon's goal.
Li Ang sat in the coach's seat, and he suddenly felt that Sporting Lisbon's head coach Perzeroo was really overconfident, and I don't know if the head coach thought that Sporting Gijon's counterattack was not too threatening. Seeing that Sporting Gijón took the initiative to give up dominance, Pesero repeatedly stood on the sidelines and ordered the fullbacks to press up again to create more pressure on the opponent.
However, the result was that Sporting Lisbon's wide break did not work in front of the Sporting Gijón defenders, and after Leedsen's goal in the first half, the Sporting Gijón defence did not make any further mistakes.
In this case, Li Ang keenly caught that Sporting Lisbon's defense leaked a huge gap. For a long time, there were only goalkeeper Ricardo and central defender and captain Beto between the center circle arc and the bottom line.
Leon immediately realised that this was Sporting Gijón's chance: his team might be able to drive straight down the flanks with ease.
Leon made an immediate change and he sent instructions to his team, asking the full-backs to press on the attack.
However, in order to avoid too much space after the full-backs pressed at the same time, Li Ang did not allow the two full-backs to play at the same time. When Grosso went up to assist, Branislav Ivanovic had to drag behind so that Albertini could stay in the middle and Juan Carlos would fill Grosso's position. Branislav Ivanovic stepped forward to assist, Grosso withdrew, and Carlos temporarily replaced Ivanovic.
The most direct result of this is that no matter which side goes up, there is no reduction in the number of people in the backline, and there are no obvious holes.
***********
Sporting Lisbon coach Pesero didn't realize the careful arrangement behind the pressing of Sporting Gijón's fullbacks, he saw that Sporting Gijón's fullbacks were also pressed out, and he was overjoyed, thinking that Sporting Gijón could use the gap after pressing, so instead of asking the team to be vigilant, Pecero asked the team to continue to strengthen the attack.
With 69 minutes played, Sporting Gijón played a quick counter-attack on the right flank.
Albertini's long ball found Di Natale, who dribbled forward.
Roglio pressed up. He leaned against Di Natale and stretched out his foot to stab Di Natale's earth, forcing the Italian to turn around.
Di Natale turned as he wished, but passed the ball directly to the plugged in Ivanovic.
Branislav Ivanovic dribbled straight with the ball for a long distance.
Sporting Lisbon's captain, Beto, could only rush up to defend Ivanovic.
Branislav Ivanovic made a sharp stop and then knocked the ball down the middle again, and Milito came out to pick it up, and he got close to Sporting Lisbon defender Roosevelt Nkashire, and suddenly slammed his heel into the air behind Roosevelt Nkashire.
***********
"Mata !!"
Mata ran up with all his might. Right behind Roosevelt Nkahiredi.
He's not offside!
Because Ivanovic stepped forward and suppressed Beto's side, Beto dragged very far behind, so although Mata got the ball in the heart of the penalty area, he was not offside, and Beto was behind at the far end.
Juan Mata dribbled the ball directly into the line and lifted his left foot.
"Watch out for his cross......" Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Ricardo had barely finished his words when Juan Mata reversed the ball back.
Milito had already managed to get Roosevelt Nkashireka behind him, and for a striker like him, stuck in position, facing the goal, all he had to do was simple: he just kicked the ball rolling over!
Ricardo falls to the ground to save.
Before his center of gravity could come down, the ball had bounced up from under him and rolled into the net behind him.
***********
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”
Milito, who scored the goal, ran wildly, and behind him were the rest of Sporting Gijón's players.
On the sidelines, Li Ang rushed out of the coach's seat, pointing to the night sky with both hands, and chanting words in his mouth.
Around him were excited coaching staff players and players on the bench.
"Two to one! The Gijons overtook the score!"
"It's a brutal fact for Sporting Lisbon, who are now behind the scoreline. ”
Sporting Gijón coach Pecero had a stiff expression, he was expecting a goal from Sporting Lisbon, but at such a time, the team was conceded by an attack by the opponent, which was a huge blow for Pecero and Lisbon.
In the VIP box, Sporting Lisbon coach Diaz's expression was a little ugly, and he felt that the presidents of the other 30 or so Portuguese clubs looked at him with schadenfreude and ridicule.
In the honor box, Figo's face was depressed, "It's like this again. He muttered. This season, Real Madrid and Sporting Gijón have played each other twice, Real Madrid lost at the feet of Sporting Gijón, and Real Madrid tried everything they could in the game, but still lost to Sporting Gijón in the end.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, seeing Sporting Lisbon fall behind by the scoreline, Figo may have a shadow when he faces Sporting Gijón or Leon's team again.
***********
The game is restarted, Sporting Lisbon is now behind the scoreline, and they have to attack in this situation, they have no other way.
Ten minutes later, however, Lisbon himself was hit even harder.
It was Sporting Lisbon's big press, however, their pass was cut off by Carlos after a sliding tackle, and then Sporting Gijon's counter-attack was followed by a few passes, Ribery and Grosso combined on the left wing, Ribery dribbled along the touchline, and Sporting Lisbon's defensive center of gravity tilted towards him.
Seeing this, Ribery made a gesture to continue to break through, but passed the ball to Albertini.
Albertini passes the ball to Di Natale.
At the same time, Franck Ribery and Juan Mata abruptly moved from the flanks to the flanks at the same time, causing the defenders at Sporting Lisbon to adjust as well.
At this moment's opportunity, Di Natale saw that there was an opening in the middle, and he did not hesitate to shove the football straight into the middle!
Sporting Lisbon full-back Miguel Garcia was moved away from Juan Mata and in the middle Beto pounced on Di Natale, so he was empty in the middle for the time being.
Carlos, who rarely assists in the opponent's penalty area, took advantage of the situation and received the ball.
"Carlos is completely unguarded!!" exclaimed the Spanish commentator.
"Leaked!" shouted the Portuguese commentator, and then, seeing who the man who caught the ball, shouted, "It's Carlos!"
***********
Roshenbach pounced on the ball at Carlos' feet as soon as possible.
Carlos was calm, he knew that his skills were average, and when Roshenbach rushed viciously, Carlos stabbed the ball to Ribery on the wing.
Ribery didn't cross, but slipped along the bottom line into the box!
"Breakthrough!
After seeing Ribery break through, there was chaos in front of Sporting Lisbon's goal.
Diego Milito struggled to squeeze forward with Beto's pull behind him, ready to grab the point.
The rest of Sporting Lisbon's defenders rushed to Ribery, intending to stop him before he could pass or shoot, using their bodies to keep the ball out of the line.
Ribery saw their intentions, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to give them that opportunity. Before the encirclement was closed, he swept the ball to the middle with a sweep of his left foot!
Diego Milito made a tackle in front of Beto behind him, but he couldn't get the ball, and goalkeeper Ricardo, who was interfered with by him, fell to the ground without touching the ball, and none of the other Sporting Lisbon defenders touched the ball.
The football just slipped through them, and then they saw Carlos rushing up and kicking the ball away!
Football flew into the empty goal of Sporting Lisbon without any suspense...... Shaken by Milito's shot just now, Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Ricardo, who made a save, was still lying on the ground at this moment and did not get up.
