At the beginning of the game, Sporting Gijón put on a defensive counter-attack, their formation retracted, and when they won the ball, if it was a positional battle, there were not many troops engaged in the attack: they seemed to intend to give up the ball at home.

"Sporting Gijón is a little too conservative. Commentator Gonzalez criticized, "Didn't Coach Leon consider playing a hearty game at home?"

"Even though Pablo and Simeone are banned, in terms of strength, it is Atletico Madrid who has the advantage. "Dagstino is not too strange with Sporting Gijon's tactical choice, Pablo is the main central defender of Atletico Madrid, but the aging Simeone is not an important player for Atletico Madrid, so the penalty of red card suspension has less impact on Atletico Madrid than expected, which determines that the strength of the away team is still higher than the home team.

"It's their home turf. Gonzalez said.

"Sporting Gijón is still fundamentally a promoted team, and although they are now higher in the table than Atletico Madrid, there is nothing to say about Coach Leon who let the team play counter-attacks and lower their posture. Dagstino said with a smile, Sporting Gijón can only be said to be a dark horse now, the so-called dark horse, in the face of such a strong force as Atletico Madrid, the posture is lower, there is nothing wrong.

That's the benefit of promotion, and if Rio's Sporting Gijón had been in La Liga for two seasons, he would have been criticized for being so conservative now.

***********

Atletico Madrid's head coach Ferrando glanced at the home team's coach's box, and since Sporting Gijón took the initiative to retreat, he was not welcome.

Moreover, Ferrando is not too surprised by Sporting Gijón's defensive counterattack tactics at home, although Sporting Gijón's league ranking is higher than that of Atletico Madrid, but, in terms of the overall strength of the two teams, Ferrando certainly thinks that his Atletico Madrid is much better than Sporting Gijón.

Atletico Madrid's subsequent attack, Torres won the ball at the top of the box, had no chance to turn, and knocked the ball to Glen Char, who fired a direct long-range shot high.

Sporting Gijón set up a tight defensive formation in the second half of the game, and when they waited for Atletico Madrid to attack, they would find it difficult to tear apart Sporting Gijón's defence.

Li Ang sat in the coach's seat, crossed Erlang's legs, he knew that Atletico Madrid would be very eager to press, he just needed to wait for them to hand over possession, and then just wait for the counterattack, don't look at how warm and friendly the two teams were before the game, but Li Ang knew that after Atletico Madrid was humiliated by Real Madrid in the derby, he held his breath, and maybe he wanted to find the field of the strong team from Sporting Gijón.

Since Atletico Madrid wants to be anti-guest-oriented, Leon will fulfill them.

He told his players before the game that they should defend well for the first fifteen minutes of the game and give Atletico Madrid a chance to press if they want to.

At that time, Ribery also asked, what will be done in fifteen minutes? Leon's answer was that all actions were under command, and that he would act according to his 'eyes' and orders.

***********

Now, Atletico Madrid seems to be playing exactly the way he envisioned it.

This is another attack by Atletico Madrid, and more than half of the Sheets Army hula poured up to participate in the attack, but so many people had no way to face Sporting Gijón's "iron bucket formation", and after three passes and two downs, the ball was broken.

Carlos intercepted Glen Char's ball and then quickly played the ball to Albertini.

This is a great opportunity for Sporting Gijón to launch a counterattack!

The stands suddenly resounded with the excited shouts of the Gijón Athletic fans.

They have seen this scene countless times, and Sporting Gijón's quick counter-attack is definitely their biggest attacking weapon now, just like a hurricane, few teams can defend against Sporting Gijón's counterattack.

"Sporting Gijón broke the ball and Carlos passed the ball...... The ball was passed to Albertini, who was looking up to watch the situation. Korsa pounced!Oh! It was passed!Long pass!Albertini suddenly made a long pass...... Frank Ribery desperately caught up with the ball and he stopped...... Cross! Diego Milito...... Antonio...... DiIIIIINAAAATAAAAALE——Gooooooooooooooooooool！！”

"Cooperate beautifully!Wonderful counterattack!The goal is scored!In the eleventh minute of the game, Sporting Gijón scored!!This is incredible!Athletic Gijón was passive, they were almost pressed and kicked by Atletico Madrid, and now, with a counterattack, they have it! Look at the expressions on the faces of the Atletico Madrid players, they are still 'immersed' in the powerful offensive of their own team, it seems that the goal is in front of them, but now they have lost the goal! This is really a big contrast and ...... blow"

***********

Seeing Di Natale squeezing forward from the back point and pushing the football into the net, Leon jumped up excitedly, such a counterattack is exactly what he wants, which is also where he dares to let Atletico Madrid press out the confidence to attack, and now, sure enough, the counterattack is successful, his players, really fight for him!

Well done!

"This is Di Natale's ninth goal of the season!, the 27-year-old Italian striker, who was previously unknown, was also relegated from Serie A by Empoli, where he played last season, and Leon brought him to Gijón, and now, we all know that Sporting Gijón has such a good goalscorer, he can pass, he can shoot, he can assist, he can score!" Dagstino was full of praise for Di Natale.

"Sporting Gijón's counter-attack was fast and layered, with Diego Milito covering in front and Di Natale in the back to make Atletico Madrid's defence unguardable!"

Ferrando frowned, the team took the initiative at the start of the game, but conceded the goal because of a counterattack from the opponent, which was a morale blow.

He walked to the sidelines, shouted the name of the team's young captain, Fernando Torres, and pushed his hands forward: Keep attacking, don't be affected by this conceded goal!

That's right, Ferrando's tactic today was to attack the middle, and he wanted to tear through the Sporting Gijón defence from the front.

He has now confirmed that Sporting Gijón is going to play a defensive counterattack today, which is good, so let's see if your defensive counterattack is effective, or Atletico Madrid's strong attack can destroy everything!

At this time, Ferrando did not notice that Leon walked from the dugout to the sidelines, shouting the name of the team's captain Albertini, and then the Italian star saw the team's head coach give a thumbs up, and then pushed three times into the air.

Albertini was a little amused by the manager's slightly mischievous gesture, knowing that it was a sign of tactical adjustment!

Attack! Attack! Attack!

***********

It is not uncommon for a team to change tactics in a game, but how to effectively execute and realize the manager's tactical intentions is the time to test the team's execution. It's the manager's control of the team, the obedience and discipline of the players, and of course, the quality of the players.

Discipline, control, and strength are the driving force of execution, all of which are not lacking in Li Ang's Gijón Athletic.

If the defending and counterattacking Sporting Gijón is a silent and stubborn assassin, the Athletic Gijón that comes out of the nest is like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep!

The blood disc gulped, and with this gesture of Li Ang, it quietly: suddenly opened!

Little did Atletico Madrid know that a storm would hit in the next moment......
