“…… After taking over the team, Sporting Gijón recorded five wins and one draw in the league, which was a very crazy performance, and Leon's performance proved that he is a true talent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the current Gijón Athletic team is still ranked 18th in the league, it has opened up a gap with Leganes behind them. It seems that their road to relegation has become wider. ”

“…… Sporting Gijón is unstoppable, and under Leon's hands, the team is like a nirvana rebirth. The Chinese head coach has done something that his predecessor Rashidria could not have imagined - Sporting Gijón is currently the best team in La Liga in the last two months!"

Juan Mata was voted the most popular player of the month by Sporting Gijón fans, and the young goalscorer, who followed Ang from Real Madrid to Sporting Gijón, said in an interview that the person he would like to thank the most is the team's manager, Ang, who he said is very good and that he believes the rest of the team will agree with him......

With nine rounds to go, Sporting Gijón is starting to pull out, and above him, Messi City and Malaga B, who are closest to him, can feel that the latecomers are catching up with them. No one dares to make mistakes, and no one wants to make mistakes. Once they come to a stop, they will be overtaken by Sporting Gijón, who will have to face Leganés in direct pursuit and will be dragged into the brutal relegation zone. ”

"Judging by Sporting Gijon's current performance, they should have a place in La Liga, but, alas, they need to pay off their debts for the poor performance in the first half of the season! Leon's team is tasked with relegation this season, and if they stay in La Liga at the end of the season, it is clear that this team will be a strong contender for La Liga next season. ”

The media began to praise Leon and Sporting Gijón, although they are still only ranked 18th in the league, ranking at the bottom of the standings, but, in the eyes of many people, the ranking is no longer telling, and it is certainly not possible to look at Sporting Gijón as a relegation team.

***********

"The next month will be crucial for Sporting Gijón, who will play Elche and Leganés in the league, then the Copa del Rey final against Galacticos Real Madrid, and after the Copa del Rey final, Sporting Gijón will face Messi City, who are one place ahead of them, these four games will be crucial for Sporting Gijón...... For Leon and his Athletic Gijón team, the long relegation battle is definitely not over yet, and anything can happen by the end of the season. These were the words of the Gijón Post the day before the match of the 34th round of the league.

Yes, anything can happen......

Leon's face was gloomy at this moment, and this was what was in his mind. Then, with a blue face, he walked straight to the player's corridor......

It was the 34th round of the league, and Sporting Gijón faced Elche away from home, and they led until the last second of the game, but in the final moments of the game, Elche took advantage of a corner opportunity to score with a header!

It's a real countdown!

Elche's midfielder Guadrado's header turned Sporting Gijón's almost three points into one.

Just a second later, the referee blew the whistle and the three points were in hand, but the ball was conceded at the last minute.

Leon was quite angry, and he scolded everyone in the locker room.

At that time, all the players were relaxed and ready to hear the referee blow the whistle at the end of the game, in fact, at that time, the referee's whistle was already in his mouth, and he was indeed ready to blow the final whistle, but at this time, Elche scored, and the referee's final whistle that should have been blown became a goal whistle.

Li Ang was furious about the conceded goal, and he kept emphasizing that the team should strengthen their attention, be focused, and as long as the game is not over, they cannot relax for a moment!

This time, however, there was a fatal relaxation in the team.

The defence looked a little absent-minded when Elche's corner kick was taken, perhaps thinking that the opponent's attack would end in failure, and then the referee would blow the whistle for the end of the game and the three points would be in hand.

However, Elche took advantage of the mental relaxation of the Sporting Gijón players to score this goal!

***********

Back at the hotel, the atmosphere of the team was still very depressing.

The next day, the whole team returned to Gijón from Elche.

On this day, the team did not have a holiday, and Leon canceled the 'welfare' of at least half a day off the next day after each game, which was a punishment for the team's lack of concentration in the final moments of the game.

During the whole day of training, Li Ang was straight-faced, which made the players tremble, and they were more committed and hard working in training, everyone knew that the team's head coach was now angry, and no one wanted to touch the mold.

The following morning, the atmosphere at the Mareo training base finally improved.

This is because they received good news.

The match between Sporting Gijón and Elche was the first match to be played in this round of La Liga.

And after the day of this game, the other matches of the La Liga were played one after another.

Sporting Gijón received good news.

Behind them, Leganes and Tenerife were tied 0-0 and the chaser failed to capitalise on the chance to drop points at Sporting Gijón, which would still have a seven-point lead over Leganés.

In addition, Messi City, who are ahead of Sporting Gijón, drew 2-2 with Cadiz at home, so Messi City still has the same points as Sporting Gijón, but is in front of Sporting Gijón on goal difference.

In this case, Sporting Gijón conceded a goal at the last moment, which was equalized by Elche and only got one point, but Messi City in front of them and Leganes behind them also drew with their opponents, and Sporting Gijón was lucky not to be narrowed by the chasers behind them, nor was they opened up by Messi City in front.

After learning the results of the subsequent games, the players of Sporting Gijón finally breathed a sigh of relief, they were worried that they would not catch up behind and be pulled away by the front.

However, before the start of this day's training, Leon saw the smiling faces on the players' faces and scolded them bitterly.

***********

"You look happy. Leon said with a smile.

All the players had smiles on their faces, and when they heard the manager say this, a few players with a different personality were about to speak, but they were pulled by their teammates next to them.

Stupid, I don't know what it means, I didn't hear the head coach's words with ridicule, this is definitely not a good thing.

Sure enough, Leon immediately changed his face, and his face was gloomy.

"Look at how happy you are, can you be a little good?" scolded Leon.

"If I were you, at this time, I shouldn't be happy because of the opponent's draw, glad that we escaped, but I would be depressed and uncomfortable, and I would jump up in anger!" Li Ang said coldly.

Some players were puzzled, and some players' faces changed, maybe they thought of something.

"Why do I say that? Why do I say that?" Leon snorted coldly, "If we successfully win Elche, then what should be the situation in the standings now? Have you ever thought about it?!"

The players were in their hearts, they really hadn't thought about it, and when they thought about it at this time, they calculated the points ranking in their hearts, and their faces changed one by one.

If Sporting Gijón wins Elche, then now with the top Messi City drawing with their opponents, then Sporting Gijón will surpass Messi City in the rankings and they will be ranked seventeenth in the league!

At the same time, because Leganes behind him was forced to draw by the opponent, then, Sporting Gijón was able to extend the point advantage ahead of Leganes to nine points, which is a three-game victory, which will be a great benefit for Sporting Gijón's relegation!

The fact is that Sporting Gijón equalized by Elche in the last second of the game, and they lost the three points they had in their hands, and also lost a good opportunity to open up the gap with the pursuers behind them and surpass Messi City in front of them!

Originally, the players who were happy because Messi City and Leganes were both forced to draw by their opponents, at this moment, after listening to Li Ang's words, he pondered like this again, and his joy disappeared immediately, and they all jumped in depression. What a great opportunity they missed!

"Remember one sentence!" Leon said solemnly, "we must give our best in every game, cheer up, and don't relax until the game is over! We must do our best, so that when the opportunity comes, we can enjoy greater joy!"

"Opportunities are reserved only for those who are ready!" Leon finally said.

***********

"Decisive battle!"!

That's the headline on the front page of the Gijón Post!

The huge red bold font occupies most of the page, making the word more conspicuous, and people will be enthusiastic just by seeing this word!

That's right, it's a decisive battle!

This is not the match of the Copa del Rey final between Sporting Gijón and Real Madrid, but the match in La Liga before the Copa del Rey final.

In the 35th round of the 2003/2004 Spanish Football League Second Division, Sporting Gijón will face an opponent at home - Leganes!

That's right, the same Leganés who are constantly chasing after them behind Sporting Gijón!

Twenty-two teams have been relegated from the Spanish Serie B, with four relegation places, which means that teams ranked between 19th and 22nd have been relegated.

Sporting Gijón is currently 18th in the league and Leganes is 19th!

Eighteen were relegated and nineteen were relegated!

This is the difference between a thin line, a world of difference.

Therefore, Sporting Gijón and Leganés are real relegation rivals, and the two teams are real life and death.

At present, in the league standings, Sporting Gijón is seven points ahead of Leganes, and there are eight rounds left in the league, and the advantage of seven points seems to be relatively large, but, because the two teams will play directly in this game, this is the key: if Sporting Gijón wins at home against Leganes, then, Sporting Gijón's points lead over Leganes will be extended to ten points, which will be quite large in the case of seven rounds of matches in the subsequent league, and the two sides have not met again, Leganes does not have this most direct oneConversely, if Sporting Gijón loses at home to Leganes, the gap between the latter and Sporting Gijón will be reduced to four points, which is a dangerous point difference!

So, you can see the key to this game!

The Gijón Post used the decisive battle to describe this match, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

***********

At the pre-match press conference between Sporting Gijón and Leganes, some media were still talking about the final goal of the match between Sporting Gijón and Elche, while Leon did not wait for his players after conceding the goal and went straight to the player's tunnel. They asked Leon if he had an argument with the player.

However, Li Ang categorically denied this, no matter how the reporters bombarded him, he ignored it, and Li Ang talked about the team's current form, the team's desire and expectation for the game, and so on.

However, a few reporters did not give up and still pursued the question of the question.

This annoyed Leon.

"I don't understand what you're trying to mean?" Leon sneered, "My team is unbeaten in the last eight league games, and there is absolutely reason to be proud of ourselves with six wins and two draws! It's just a draw, what's there to say? In Elche away we got a point, which is a result that I am happy with! The opponents are ranked higher than us, they are strong-willed, this is a team to respect!"

The reporter knows that Li Ang is quibbling, and now the whole of Spain knows that although Sporting Gijón is ranked at the bottom of the league, it can never be regarded as a relegation team in the second division, Elche's ranking is only four places higher than your Sporting Gijón, which is really not a height.

"Also, I would like to say that this is our pre-match press conference with Leganés, and Sporting Gijón is against Leganes, and at this time you have been asking questions about the last game, is this a lack of necessary respect for Leganes?!" asked Leon in a cold voice.

When Leganes' head coach Ace Alder heard this, he snorted coldly, and when he saw that reporters were surrounding Li Ang asking questions, he was already unhappy, didn't he take him and Leganes in his eyes: Hey, hey, this is our relegation battle with Sporting Gijon!!

The reporters also felt that the reporters who had been chasing Li Ang to ask about the last game were a bit excessive, yes, this relegation battle is the focus.

***********

"Coach Leon, what do you think will be the result of the match with Leganes?" The reporter, who had been 'making trouble' and seemed to have ulterior motives, really changed the subject.

Leon stared at the young reporter for a long time, and the young man looked at him without flinching.

Leon was annoyed, the question was tricky.

Leganés is a direct relegation opponent of Sporting Gijón, and at this time, Leon must not say that he has no confidence in the game, which will disappoint the players and fans!

However, if Leon is too strong to assert his confidence in winning the game, it will anger his opponents, and it will be a relegation battle, which is bound to be tragic, and other factors are likely to make the game more difficult.

Leon's personality dictated his answer.

Eventually, Leon dropped a sentence and left the press conference.

"Victory is in my hands!"
