On November 10, 2004, Sporting Gijón will welcome the second round of the Spanish Copa del Rey. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They will play against Spanish League 31 side Ponte Bedra.

For Sporting Gijón, it was obviously good luck to draw a team from the third division.

Although Leon has already determined in his mind that he will not focus too much on the Copa del Rey this season, it would be good if the team could go as far as possible in the Copa del Rey and play a few more games, and the Copa del Rey stadium could be used as a training ground for some of the team's substitutes to play more games before the intensive schedule in the second half of the season.

On the morning of this day, at the door of the Malato training base, Leon was teasing a puppy, a little milk dog that looked like it was a few months old, and it looked very cute.

"His name is Dracula. Vasquez, the old janitor, said.

"Vampires?" Leon was surprised.

"That's right. The old man was a little smug, "I've been reading a book about a vampire count lately, and the name is handsome." ”

"It's not bad. Leon held back a laugh and asked, "Where did this dog, well, Dracula, come from?"

"This is Osgu's twenty-ninth child. Vázquez said proudly.

"Twenty-ninth...... A?" Li Ang was a little speechless, glanced at the old dog who was lying on the ground basking in the sun, and said in his heart, are you a breed dog?!

"Yes, Osgu has three wives and six lovers, and this is a big family. Vázquez said.

Leon glanced at Osgu, just with this fat dog, there are countless beauties in the harem?!

Osgu seemed to feel Leon's gaze, and glanced at this person with disdain, as if to say: single dog!

Lao Tzu has a girlfriend!

Leon bent down, pretended to be affectionate, patted the old fat dog's head hard, and then got up and clapped his hands, "What a good dog!"

Then he said hello to the janitor and left.

Osgu, who had been attacked by the dog's head, stood up and barked at Leon's back.

Vazquez slapped the dog's head, "Be honest, Li Na likes you!"

***********

Bullying the countless fat dogs of the branch and then Gong Jiali, Li Ang was in a good mood.

However, during the game that night, Leon had a feeling that he was a dog.

Sporting Gijón got off to a bad start against Spanish C1 side Ponte Bedra, with goalkeeper Robert leaving the pitch injured just three minutes into the game, with third goalkeeper Handanovic coming off the bench.

Then, just before the end of the first half, substitute striker David Lago was also injured.

If Robert's injury was an accident, then David Lago's injury was caused by the opponent's malicious scramble.

Ponte Bedra knew that he was inferior to Sporting Gijón, so in today's game, he adopted a more brutal tactic.

Such a team, in Spanish football, even the third division is rare, Spanish professional teams, generally advocate offense, respect ground coordination, there are few teams that are good at hand-to-hand combat, and the style of play is so 'rough'.

David Lago was injured and Leon was able to bring on Karim Benzema to form the biggest young gap between Benzema and veteran Magul Pihra.

What made Leon most depressed was that he injured Robert and David Lago, and the score on the field was still 0-0 after 65 minutes of the game!

Sporting Gijón, who were able to slaughter Real Madrid away and win against Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, were a little helpless against Ponte Beddra, a team in the third division.

This made Leon furious, although he made a wide range of changes in today's game, and the starting eleven on the field, except for central defender Pepe and Di Natale who switched to midfield today, were all usual substitutes, but this is not a reason why the team cannot win a team in the third division.

In the end of the game, neither side could score, and the score remained 0-0 until the end of extra-time, and the two sides went to penalties.

In the shoot-out, Handanovic saved a penalty, while Sporting Gijón made all five of them.

In the end, Sporting Gijón won 5-4 on penalties and advanced to the third round of the Copa del Rey.

***********

In the home team's dressing room at the Estadio Elmolinnon after the game, Leon's roar could be heard clearly even outside the hallway.

"Do you think you're amazing, you can win against Real Madrid, you can win Valencia, you can finish second in the league!

Leon was a little angry, he smelled a hint of breath, an aura of arrogance!

Although most of the starters in today's game were substitutes, it illustrates a state of the whole team: after consecutive wins against traditional giants, the players are a little flustered, which is not a good sign, and with the current player configuration and game experience of Sporting Gijón, Sporting Gijón really has no reason to be proud.

Originally, Ponte Bedra was drawn to a C1 League team, which should have been promoted by Sporting Gijón easily without sweating, and the team could also get rest. However, in the end, it was only in the form of a penalty shoot-out that he was able to advance, and it is no wonder that Leon was so angry.

As for the difficult passage of this game, Li Ang believes that this game came in a timely manner, sounding a wake-up call for the whole team, and the main players who played in this game were basically the usual substitutes, while the main players sat on the bench and watched the game from the stands, which can make these people calm down through this game, recognize themselves, and never forget their original intentions.

***********

Leon was angry, but Gijón's media were more tolerant of the game and the players, believing that the team was almost entirely on the bench and that it was a good thing to advance. So, the next day the local media in Gijón did not criticize the team too much.

Of course, this is mainly because there are more important news and surprises.

The Gijón Post, which is an absolute enemy of Leon, reprinted a report from Italy's "Milan Sport Newspaper".

According to the report, Sporting Gijón's youngster Juan Carlos has decided to play in Milan, and the young midfielder has even expressed his joy to play in Milan in advance.

To show the accuracy of their story, there are also two photos of Mr. Leon being surrounded by reporters at the door of his home.

Leon still put the newspaper on the table and slapped it vigorously.

Then, he picked up the microphone and called assistant coach Scott Drill and asked Scott to go to the locker room and call Carlos over...... He was going to figure it out to his face, what the hell was going on?
