Gijón is a coastal city in Spain, located west of Bordeaux and on the southern shore of the Bay of Biscay.

In the last century, Gijón was famous for its steel casting and naval industry, and with the industrial reform, it gradually transformed into a city with a focus on tourism, education, and commerce.

This small land even has a very "individual" La Liga team - Sporting Gijón!

In the 15-16 season, they reached La Liga and escaped the relegation zone by one point.

Countless Happy Bean players are the "diehards" of this team.

Because Sporting Gijón is the team that has been slaughtered the most, for example: conceding 50 goals in 20 rounds, an average of 2.5 goals per game.

To put it mildly, you can call them "Don Quixote", no matter who the opponent is, never put a bus! Fighting is attacking! Known as the "flat-headed brother" of La Liga.

Contrary to Luo Xiaoping in Serie A, Sporting Gijón refused to draw: either you beat me flat, or I hammer you.

Every time a team wins, the seafood is sold out.

There is more to the city than just football culture, the Gijón Café Award is one of the most important literary awards in Spain, and although it originated in a century-old café in Madrid, the annual prize money is sponsored by the city of Gijón.

Outstanding works such as "The Fountain of Pain", "Animals at Night", and "Bathing Resort" have all won the award.

Diego Costa doesn't like to drink coffee.

He was riding a small electric donkey, carrying Li Kang and Cork through the ancient streets.

The sea breeze blows a pair of shorts in different colors.

The sun is warm and the shadows of the trees are dappled.

The three of them applied for the outing with the coaching team: to buy souvenirs.

"That's the statue of Pelayo, and across the street is the Villagihedo Palace! Barak style building"

"It's Baroque!"

"Li, why should we come to the museum to buy souvenirs? Gijón's specialty is dried fish! It's the most practical thing to give your friends! ”

The Chelsea god chattered and felt a headache when he looked at the words on the stele.

Li Kang jumped off the small electric donkey and ran to the store in front of the museum to buy a tape and two copies of ancient books.

He had no interest in Asturian art, much less understanding.

Cork bought a fake of Maha in Clothes and a CD of the flamenco trilogy from a nearby vendor. He is also not interested in art, but is attracted to the undressed stars on the cover.

"Don't look at me like that, I bought it for Saul, that kid likes to look at these things"

The World Preliminary Tournament is just around the corner, and more and more tourists are arriving in Gijón.

Many people recognized the Spanish star and raised their mobile phones to take pictures while delighted.

Diego Costa urged his teammates to get in the car, and he had to go buy dried fish.

Before the fans could fully react, the little electric donkey kicked up the dust and disappeared into the narrow streets.

Several paparazzi reporters put away their cameras and typed their minds into the draft.

"Ideological opposition, the Jewish Saint Seiya will sink the fallen invincible battleship. 》

"Feel the charm of Gijon culture, the unique aesthetics of Mr. 200 million. 》

Incompetent Bosque, overindulge in superheroes! 》

It's night.

The Molinon Stadium is bustling.

The 30,000-capacity stadium has not hosted an international event for a long time.

The 1982 World Cup in Spain was the birthplace of the most notorious tacit ball in the history of football: the Gijón scandal.

Because of this scandal, FIFA changed the rules of the game: the final round of the group stage of all major tournaments must kick off at the same time, and the goalkeeper is not allowed to return the pass with his hand.

“ESPN！ ESPN！ Good evening, audience friends! ”

"Welcome to the sixth round of Group G of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in Russia!"

"Spain vs. Israel!"

"The camera went to the stands, and the famous Israeli actress Gal Gadot also came to the scene!"

In a few months, she will also star in "Wonder Woman" on the big screen.

"The talented young player - Li Kang sat on the bench! Much to look forward to! The whole stadium is calling his name! ”

"Recently, the public and the media have frantically bombarded the Spanish coaching staff, asking why Li Kang was not recruited in the qualifiers!"

Alvaro Morata was on the bench.

Isco next to him handed over a bottle of mineral water, saying that he couldn't unscrew it.

Saul snatched it, patted the bottom of the bottle, and snapped it open.

Bosque sat Li Kang next to the coach's box.

"There won't be a lot of pressure in this game."

"In order to avoid injury, you won't play too much, so let's relive the warm atmosphere of the national team!"

Li Kang nodded seriously.

In the two days of training, he and his teammates had a run-in.

Without Iniesta, David Silva, and Cazorla, the Matadors' passing magic has been greatly reduced.

The Spanish coaching staff is trying to complete the transition ahead of the 2018 World Cup. But apart from Li Kang, no one in the younger generation of players can replace the three midfield magicians.

What about Cesc Fabregas? The guy got injured again before the international break.

Mignano cares a lot about online public opinion, he doesn't understand:

After the European Cup, netizens always asked for Li Kang to be recruited to play in the world preliminaries, but the opponents were all a group of fish belly!

Lee is only 19 years old this year, and the club's Premier League and Champions League are already very tired.

Professional footballers should not be over-consumed at a young age, as many injuries are irreversible.

The foul scale of international competitions is not inferior to that of the five major leagues.

"Here's a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."

"Spain came out in a 4-3-3 formation!"

'Goalkeeper: David De Gea.'

"Defenders: Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba!"

"Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Saul, Koke!"

"Forwards: Bitolo, Diego Costa, Aspass."

"The forward test of the Spanish coaching staff!"

Aspas was a little excited, as Celta's leading goalscorer, he finally had the opportunity to step onto the international stage.

He once wore Liverpool's number 9 shirt. Only one goal has been scored.

After returning to La Liga, he switched to playing as a right winger, getting older and more demonic, but the team needs to focus on him to attack.

"The formation of Israel is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Marciano."

"Defender:"

The biggest star in the Israeli squad is Zahavi.

He has won the top scorer in the first division for three consecutive seasons.

Champions League qualifier top scorer.

Under the persuasion of his wife, he joined a Chinese Super League team in the summer of 2016 for 6.3 million euros.

Compared with other top foreign aids, this price can only be said to be the price of cabbage, and it is far less expensive than the national football players.

But he put on the most spectacular performance in the Chinese Super League.

In terms of creativity and spirituality, even tens of millions of euros of big-name foreign aid cannot compete with him.

During this historical period, many powerhouses in the five major leagues threw olive branches to him.

It's a pity that this thing is afraid of his wife, and his wife is in love with everything in the Eastern country.

It doesn't matter, maybe after a few years in the Chinese Super League, there will be a chance to play for a European powerhouse.

There was no suspense in the game.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too great.

13th minute.

Jordi Alba got up on the left flank and delivered a dangerous low cross.

Diego Costa stands proudly in the penalty area, stops the ball and turns to shoot!

The ball passed through the crotch of goalkeeper Marcano's pants and lifted off the net of white flowers.

1:0！！！

It's so simple.

Diego Costa was not overjoyed and returned to the centre circle after a bland celebration.

The difficulty of the game was too low, and Chelsea's dirty striker became a "gentle gentleman".

18th minute.

Koke sent in a cross from the top of the box but Bitolo couldn't find the back of the net.

22nd minute.

Sergio Busquets sent in a lethal through-ball that Aspas couldn't get into.

45th minute.

Ramos stepped forward, caught Carvajal's second pass, and scored with a header!

2:0！！！

51st minute.

Koke sends a corner, Diego Costa squeezes away the opposition's weak central defender, and heads the ball over!

3:0！！！

The home fans were intoxicated with great joy.

The king of the qualifiers.

Spain are now unbeaten in 58 consecutive home games.

The last time we lost was back in 1993!

80th minute of the game.

After a long wait, the scene that the fans were waiting for happened.

Li Kang replaces Saul.

Alvaro Morata replaces Aspas.

Armada set sail!

The Jewish Saint Seiya was pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly

When rubbed to a certain extent, it will heat up.

The red-eyed Israeli players went on a rampage against Spain's midfield commander.

Gradually, the stands booed.

The headlines of the major media have been prepared: "Bosque is burying the future of the Armada." 》

Transition Consumption! The Fish Belly Team is also going to recruit superheroes? 》

Beep! Beep~

Eventually, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Scrappy and insisting on attacking Israel, they netted seven goals.

Spain are at the top of Group G standings.

Although he was repeatedly violated, Li Kang was not injured at all, and he didn't even sweat much, but the jersey on his body was a little dirty, as for the intensity of the game? He doesn't feel as good as the team training game.

The Israeli players are miserable, they know that the Spanish No. 6 is terrible, but they didn't expect that after a few "fierce hand-to-hand fights", the person who was more seriously injured was himself!

Even two people can't "cut wood" Li Kang.

There are certainly many problems with the old and new Matador regiments.

But the terrifying record in the qualifiers almost locked them in the 2018 World Cup!

Some media believe that in the qualifiers, the fight is who will abuse vegetables more.

The night breeze was cool.

The staff hurriedly put on De Gea's coat.

at the passage.

Mignano asked suspiciously: "Boss, do we still have to recruit Li in the next few rounds of qualifiers?" ”

Bosque smoothed his mustache and said with a smile: "Strait of Gibraltar? Macedonia? Tonight's game is enough to silence the fans and the media by having Lee on the field! ”

"He has more important things to do right now."

"League Champion."

"Champions League!"
