Gijón was once a regional city in the Roman Empire and the third largest port city in Spain.

If you ask where the most beautiful Spanish city on the Atlantic coast is, including many people in the Twist Sutra, the first answer is definitely San Sebastian.

But after arriving in Gijón with the team, Qu Jing felt that the city had the same enviable beauty as San Sebastian.

Compared with the rules and neatness of the ports of northern Spain, the old port of Gijón, a place that coexists in harmony with the city and the sea, always makes people feel a quiet beauty that touches the soul......

The main stadium of the Gijón Athletic is arguably the oldest in Europe, and the Molinon Stadium, which has hosted matches since 1908, is very beautiful in shape, and with the meandering river outside the stadium, it gives people an aesthetic enjoyment from the outside.

It's also a major stop on the touring tours of many of the music industry's stars, from the Rolling Stones to Bon Jovi to Paul McCartney, Molinon Field is more than just a stadium, it's an influential temple of the arts.

However, this old building does not have too long La Liga season experience, which is due to the frequent relegation of Sporting Gijón, for well-known reasons, except for a limited number of teams in La Liga, others, including Real Sociedad, are almost all poor, and it is not easy to mix in La Liga year after year.

As a promoted horse who has just been promoted to La Liga in the new season, Sporting Gijón does not have much strength.

Although Real Sociedad were held to a draw by Sporting Gijón at the Anoeta Stadium in the second round of the first half of the season, that was also the reason why then-manager David Moyes led the team to a disadvantage.

Agusli didn't denigrate his predecessor, but in the pre-match mobilization of the game, his meaning could not be more obvious - "We are not here to see the scenery in Gijón, nor to cultivate any artistic atmosphere, we have only one purpose in front of us, to achieve a convincing victory......"

He highlighted two people, Lola, the captain of Sporting Gijón, and Halilovich, who is on loan from Barcelona, the former is the mainstay of Sporting Gijón's backline, and with his presence, Sporting Gijón's backline will be organized and organized; The latter, together with the two central midfielders of Sporting Gijón, will form the attacking core of the entire team.

It also gave Qu Jing a chance to come face to face with these two guys, and only a chance, because Agusli did not let him appear in the starting line-up, but spent Bergara in the midfield position for a period of time.

What impressed him was the passion of the fans at the Molinon Stadium, probably because of the working class, and the home fans were far less critical than the Bernabeu fans, and although they had just lost 5-1 to Real Madrid in the last round, it did not affect their enthusiasm for the team.

The loud cheers and the characteristic cheers, combined with the fact that the home jersey of Sporting Gijón was somewhat similar to that of Athletic Bilbao, gave the impression that it was a Basque derby......

Sporting Gijón even plays in a similar way to Athletic Bilbao.

Both teams have a tradition of being paranoid about defense, as well as the tireless running of players on the field.

As soon as the opening kick-off, Sporting Gijón wanted to take advantage of the home field to give Real Sociedad a disadvantage.

After a few neat moves, Llola, who had come in from the back, crossed wide, but Real Sociedad's Martinez and Reyes centre-backs didn't give the opposition a chance, and after easily pushing the ball out of the box, it was Belgara who instigated the counter-attack.

Vela obviously borrowed from Bale's experience on the wing when Real Madrid played Sporting Gijon in the last round, and also used his speed to constantly pull out space, and also completed the counter-pressure on Llola, who was always looking for opportunities to step forward to assist.

Unlike Qu Jing's feeling when he played on the field, he felt like watching the game off the field - fast, and in just 10 minutes, the two teams attacked and defended more than a dozen back and forth in the stadium.

"If you want to make the gourd babies so neat, you have to vomit blood without cramps", Qu Jing inexplicably thought of Li Hang and them, they are all two lungs, why is the gap so big!

The tempo is fast, but in reality both teams are a bit chaotic in attack.

The most common picture is that the home team has just grabbed the ball, but the first pass is successfully blocked by the away team, and the away team has just looked up to start organizing, only to find that the opposing player has already stretched his feet......

"Oops......", seeing Canales, who was trying to control the rhythm, was destroyed by the opponent's midfielder Casses, which made Qu Jing clap his thigh and scream in frustration.

Canales in the middle was too passive with the help of Casses and Alvarez, and it was almost difficult to get the ball and pass comfortably, if only Bergara could move forward to respond......

Bergara didn't want to plug in, but he had to focus on Halilovich.

Although the Barcelona star is not very old, he is quite ghostly in his running position, and has shown very sophisticated organizational skills that do not match his age, and he is still very physical, running very actively, and under the frequent impact of the same fierce Casses and Alvarez, there is little room for Bergara and Ilia Ramendi to cut forward.

Can this be solved?

Yes.

But players need to be good enough to control the ball.

It's a pity that Ilia Ramendi and Bergara are not this type of players, so they can only fall into the embarrassing situation of passive defense again and again after losing the ball in a hasty pass.

Fortunately, although the offensive organization of Sporting Gijón played well, it also had a very low conversion rate, and the result of attacking for half a day did not pose much of a decent threat to goalkeeper Rulli at all.

"Transmission control...... Transmission control, ah......"

Watching the 20 players gathered in the center circle when the goalkeeper kicked the goalball made Qu Jing anxious outside the field for a while.

"They grabbed and grabbed it, and they turned the ball upside down...... Why do you have to get into this kind ......of positional battle with the other party, ahhh

Until the end of the half, although the two sides fought extremely fiercely on the field, neither of them could break through the opponent's goal, which was nothing for the Sporting Gijón team that played defense, but it really lowered the pass success rate of the Real Sociedad team who liked to pass and control......

'We defended well, but we didn't attack well, and in the second half, it was time for us to score.'

Agusli said confidently in the locker room, then patted Ilya Ramendi and Bergara on the shoulder, but turned to Qu Jing and Sans and said: "Go and warm up, change you two in the second half......"
