Chapter 36: No Draws Accepted (Plus More!!) )
Although Sporting Gijón has dropped from La Liga to La Liga since the 2017 season, he has never spoken of underdogs. Even on the stage of the Copa del Rey, he can go head-to-head with some of the biggest teams in La Liga.
Sporting Gijón is a two-time runner-up in La Liga, multiple La Liga titles, and two Copa del Rey runners-up. Sporting Gijón's youth system has produced stars such as David Villa, and Morilla is seen as their new "Hulu baby"!
Carmona's goal has a lot of credit to Morilla!
......
Granada kicks off in the center circle and the game continues!
Running without the ball is one of the most emphasized points in Granada's defensive counter-attacking tactics, with the two full-backs acting flexibly on the flanks, and the full-forwards observing the position of the midfielders at all times, and launching a fast attack as soon as they have the opportunity to play a pass and cut together!
Martinez, who has the same surname as the manager on the left wing, ran to the side of the midfield to receive the pass, he received a pass from midfielder Baena and passed the ball straight ahead, Vico ran forward to shake off the hero Carmona who had just scored a goal from the right wing-back of Sporting Gijón, and then quickly passed the ball to the middle, and Vure, who was running forward, was forced by Coffey and Santana as soon as he stopped the ball.
Woolly didn't see an opportunity to pass the ball to Pozzo on the right or back to midfield before touching the ball, with Coffey's pressing and Santana's marking blocking his pass.
At this time, Wu Lei flexibly flicked the ball to the right at his feet and dodged Coffey's pressing, which surprised the defensive titan Coffey who was mixed in the Serie A! But just as Vuray tried to pass the ball to Pozzo on the right, Santana stepped up first.
Sporting Gijón's head coach Baraga had studied Granada before the game, and he found that there was a lot of phone calls between the newly transferred Warrior and Granada's loanee Pozo, so he gave Sporting Gijón the task of cutting off the passing connection between Sporting Gijón and Poszo!
This made it very uncomfortable for Vure, who was used to working with Pozzo, and Santana, a defender from Las Palmas, directly squeezed Woray to the ground, and then controlled the football with his feet.
Martinez angrily protested to the fourth official on the sidelines: "It's a foul move!" ”
The fourth official ignored Martinez's grumblings and motioned for him to return to his place.
Wu Lei, who was squeezed to the ground, gritted his teeth and stood up, and immediately chased back to participate in the defense, although he knew that this was the opponent's foul, but he did not get angry or go to the referee to theorize, but restrained his emotions, after all, Granada is now not allowed to fall into any more disputes!
Martinez, who complained to the fourth official, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw Wu Lei's positive defense, although the team is now behind, but he prefers to see players who have self-control and can control their emotions.
Sporting Gijón immediately counter-attacked after winning the ball, trying to take advantage of the victory to chase another goal, but Granada did not give them a chance, and the whole team was on full display, and no one left their positions.
The ball was divided between Morilla, Omar and Carmona, with Omar cutting in on the right flank and then quickly crossing the ball to the left after attracting the attention of Granada's defence.
Carmona ran down the left flank and played the ball to Moriglia in the middle before Granada right-back Dias pressed for it.
At this time, Morilla and striker Blackman have already arrived outside the penalty area!
Morilla kicked the ball out of the box in front of the two defenders of Soma and Martin, and Blackman started cutting inside at the same time, just in time to receive Morilla's pass, and volleyed without stopping!
The ball was kicked vigorously into the bottom left corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Silva reacted in time, blocking Blackman's shot angle well, and leaned down to hold the ball firmly in his arms.
This time the attack of Sporting Gijón is considered to be thrilling!
The first half of the game is over, and the two teams change sides in the second half!
......
In the 69th minute of the game, Sporting Gijón defender Coffey made an obvious kick when Wu Lei broke through with a dribble, and Wu Lei was sent to the ground.
Wu Lei rolled around on the ground before standing up, and the socks on his legs already had several small holes, and even a slight blood color spread out, which was scratched by the opponent's spikes, and directly raised a lot of small wounds.
Bozo, who was close, came over to check on Wu Lei's situation as soon as possible, and when he saw that Wu Lei was overshadowed, he immediately stepped forward to find trouble with Kofei, but was stopped by Wu Lei and said softly: "Don't make trouble!" ”
Stopping Pozo, Wu Lei turned his head to Kofi, who was standing aside and said indifferently: "That's it? Although Wu Lei's Spanish has been tutored, he has not mastered it so quickly, so he has always used English to communicate with people. Fortunately, Coffey has just moved to Sporting Gijón, and Kofi, who was born in Ghana, West Africa, has been playing in Italy before, so he can understand English in order to facilitate communication.
After the clash between Granada and Osasuna, the head coach of Sporting Gijón guessed that Granada would be affected and played relatively conservatively, so he signaled before the game that the players could be appropriately "positive"!
Sporting Gijón has not performed well this season, but it may not be without the opportunity to compete for promotion in the play-offs, so this game does not want to be easily let go!
The referee showed Coffey a yellow card and then gave Granada a chance for a free-kick in front.
The goal was still some distance away, so Vuray passed the ball directly to captain Baena, who kept the ball and then kicked the ball directly to Dias who was inserted forward on the right side!
Dias received the ball and dribbled forward quickly, and when he met the opposite midfielder Santana on the flank of the middle, he made a quick one-two with Pozzo and rushed straight past Santana.
After completing the breakthrough, Dias continued to dribble the ball to the wing outside the box, and he did not choose to entangle with defender Baban too much, and directly tucked the ball diagonally into the left rib of the box.
Wu Lei cut into the penalty area, turned around without stopping the ball and knocked the ball back outside the penalty area!
Vurey's move was beyond the expectations of all Sporting Gijón players, Vico from the left received the ball outside the penalty area, and in the face of Kofi rushing back to force it, Vico took advantage of the situation to flick the ball horizontally, dodged and shot directly from a distance!
The football jumped high and went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper of Sporting Gijón Marino pounced, but unfortunately did not turn the tide, and the football got into the net!
Granada scored!!
“Goooooaaaallllll!!!!”
After Vico opened the scoring, he ran to the sidelines to receive cheers from the home fans, and players such as Vuray also rushed to celebrate the goal.
"Beautiful goal!! Granada equalised!! ”
"Now the score is tied 1:1, and the two sides are back on the same running line!!"
"It's so exciting!! Right-back Dias stepped in to attack, combined with Pozzo to complete the pass, and then crossed the penalty area, and Wu Lei, who received in the box, did not choose to shoot directly, but handed it to the unmarked Vico!! ”
"Vico lived up to the trust of his teammates and fired a powerful volley that left Sporting Gijón's goalkeeper Marino powerless!!"
After a brief celebration, captain Baena sent his teammates back to the centre circle to wait for kick-off. Sorry, we don't accept it!!
