"Beautiful!" Dagestino applauded loudly. "Carlos is more mature than he was a few months ago. This time, he successfully stopped Savio!"
"Haha, the 16-year-old Juan - Carlos did not let the 30-year-old Savio have the upper hand in this duel." González also said with a smile, "Little guy, do you know that you have successfully stopped a former Real Madrid star from breaking through this time?"
The Sporting de Gijón fans in front of the TV jumped up and applauded Carlos's wonderful interception. At the same time, the words of the two commentators today made them feel very happy and comfortable listening to them.
They had long had enough of Elstoy's commentary.
Today's Copa del Rey semi-final match between Sporting de Gijón and Zaragoza was arranged by Spain's national channel 5 to commentate on the match between Sporting de Gijón and Zaragoza. This was not because the Gijón people's protest against Elstoy made the television station take over the commentator position. It was because Elstoy had another commentary assignment. He and Spielson would be working together to commentate on another Copa del Rey semi-final match, the match between Real Madrid and Valencia. This was a heavyweight match, a collision of Mars and Earth. Naturally, Elstoy and Spielson, the number one commentator pair, were arranged to commentate. However, Sporting de Gijón was happy to see this change. They could not wait to have Dagestino and González commentating on Sporting de Gijón's matches.
Savio looked at the little guy in surprise. He did not expect this kid to be able to stop his breakthrough under such circumstances. Before the match, he had heard that the opponent had a 16-year-old young player who was very fierce in the midfield. The Gijón media even called this person "Little Gattuso." Savio laughed. He thought that the Gijón people were blowing their own trumpet. As a former Real Madrid superstar, Savio certainly knew the strength of Gattuso. He did not think that a little guy could be that outstanding.
But this time, this sixteen-year-old boy gave him a huge shock.
*****
Zaragoza's throw-in.
After González took the ball, he passed it to Moreno, who came over to receive. The latter did not stop the ball and directly knocked the football to Savio with his heel.
This time, Savio did not dribble the ball forward. Instead, he knocked the ball back to González, who suddenly moved the ball to the right flank.
Kearney received the pass. This time, without Carlos's entanglement, Kearney immediately became active. He used his speed to forcibly break through Samoel and Dorado. Then, he looked at his teammates who kept raising their hands in the penalty area and finally chose to pass.
On the frontline, Villa nimbly ran away from the center back Yago, who was marking him. Then, he swung his head and attacked the goal. Unfortunately, the header was slightly too high! Although he didn't score. But La Romareda Stadium still erupted with huge cheers.
Looking at the regretful Villa scratching his head after missing the goal, Li Ang's back was drenched in cold sweat.
This person was the threat Sporting de Gijón needed to guard against today!
David Villa! This talented striker produced by Sporting de Gijón's Maleo youth training camp. In the 2002-03 season, Villa set the highest individual scoring record at Gijón. In the previous season's Segunda División, he scored 20 goals for Sporting de Gijón, earning him the title of "Lone Hero." Last summer, this Maleo talent was poached by the La Liga team, Real Zaragoza.
And now, this Gijón talent was the biggest threat Gijón had to face.
In addition to Villa, the other striker on Zaragoza's frontline, Moreno, was also not to be underestimated. This famous striker in Alavés was the main contributor to Alavés reaching the UEFA Europa League final. Then, he was poached by the Serie A giants, AC Milan. However, Moreno was clearly not acclimatized in Milan. In one season, he played 16 times and only scored two goals. In the first half of the 20012002 season, Moreno played five times and did not score a single goal. Then, in the summer of the previous year, Milan sent Moreno to Atlético Madrid like the plague. In the Calderón Stadium, Moreno played 24 times and only scored five goals. Then, the Atlético Madrid could not take it anymore and threw Moreno to Real Zaragoza for a cheap price. Then, at La Romareda Stadium, Moreno played 24 times and only scored five goals. Then, Atlético Madrid could not take it anymore and threw Moreno to Real Zaragoza for a cheap price. Then, at La Romareda Stadium, Moreno played 24 times and only scored five goals. Then, Atlético Madrid threw Moreno to Real Zaragoza for a cheap price. Then, at La Romareda Stadium, Moreno played 24 times and only scored five goals.
Li Ang frowned. Zaragoza was indeed too strong.
However, Li Ang smiled. Zaragoza was strong, but so what? In this game, Sporting de Gijón would have to go all out against Zaragoza!
Sporting de Gijón had nothing to lose, and they were not afraid of losing!
They were willing to sacrifice their flesh and dared to unhorse the emperor!
*****
"Villa! Oh--he's missed a chance to score! "cried Dagestino.
"Zaragoza showed their strong attacking ability!" González said. "In this game, Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón will be tested like never before. Zaragoza's attacking ability will cause great trouble for this Segunda División team!"
Li Ang frowned. Marcos needed to protect the middle, and Juan Carlos was assigned to mark Savio. On the other side, Carney's side began to be active.
Samuel and Dorado were no match for Carney even if they teamed up.
What if Carlos was moved to mark Carney?
Li Ang immediately shook his head. If he moved Carlos to the left, then Savio, the veteran, would be unusually active. In Li Ang's mind, Savio's threat level was far above Carney's. This veteran's experience and skills were far superior to Carney's.
Li Ang was now looking at the Zaragoza stars. He was incomparably envious. He was now increasingly aware of his Sporting de Gijón's lack of manpower.
In today's game, Sporting de Gijón's lineup had not changed much compared to the previous games. When the media ridiculed Li Ang for his lack of adaptability, Li Ang wanted to scold them. Damn it, did he not want to change? He was really short on manpower.
Then, Zaragoza's offensive continued to increase. Their two wings continued to tear apart Sporting de Gijón's defensive line. On the front line, Villa and Moreno got a chance to shoot one after another. Sporting de Gijón's fans broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Ang paced back and forth on the sidelines. He knew he had to adapt. Otherwise, according to the current progress of the game, conceding a goal was only a matter of time.
Zaragoza attacked again, and Carney broke through at high speed from the flank again. Samuel could not keep up with Carney's pace at all. In the end, Marcos came over from the middle and destroyed Zaragoza's attack.
Li Ang's eyes lit up.
Zaragoza's offense mainly came from the two flanks, which was a rare sight in the entire La Liga. It was mainly because they had Carney and Savio, one young and one old, who were good at breaking through from the flanks.
In terms of penetration in the middle, Zaragoza's threat was relatively small.
*****
Li Ang immediately made adjustments.
He let Marcos stay away from the middle and move to the left flank, focusing on marking Carney. Samuel's position was moved to the middle to cover Marcos's gap.
"Marcos!!" Li Ang shouted at the top of his lungs from the sidelines. Marcos had just finished this defense. When he heard the shout, he turned to the technical area.
"Protect the flanks!!" Li Ang pointed to the flanks and shouted, and then pointed to Samuel. "Let Samuel fill your position!" In such a noisy environment, he could only keep it short.
Marcos was stunned. He had always played in the middle, as a defensive midfielder. It could be said that he was the team's last defensive barrier. He had never really played in the flanks.
However, since the boss said so, he immediately did as he was told.
Zaragoza's sideline ball.
This time, Carney took the ball on the flank again. He was now in the mood to kill and was as active as a rabbit.
Carney dribbled the ball forward, but found that the guy who had been defending him before was gone. Was he scared?
He did not hesitate and continued to dribble the ball forward, easily passing the opponent's full back, Dorado, who came up to intercept.
The cheers in the stands of the La Romareda Stadium rang out again.
At the same time, Villa and Moreno were already in the penalty area, constantly raising their hands to ask for the ball.
Zaragoza could be said to be heavily pressuring at this time, which was an excellent chance to score.
At this time, Carney's bad habit of playing football acted up again. He did not pass the ball out, but dribbled the ball himself to cut inside. He wanted to shoot.
Just as he moved the ball and was about to cut inside, Carney found a man rushing in front of the ball, wearing the red and white away team's jersey!
The man came up so quickly that Carney was shocked. He was about to move the ball away.
"Bang!" The two men kicked each other fiercely. The ball was deflected. Carney wanted to snatch it, but he was powerless. Because he had already fallen to the ground. The opponent snatched the ball so fiercely that when he intercepted the ball, he also knocked him down.
Carney, lying on the ground, looked at the opponent. Although the man was also staggering, the man was still able to maintain his balance. He ran past him without looking back.
"It's Marcos! He intercepted the ball at Carney's feet! "Dagestino shouted.
"Counterattack, counterattack! This is Sporting de Gijón's chance to fight back! " González's focus was not on the snatch. Zaragoza's attack was full of pressure. At this time, the ball was suddenly intercepted, and there was a large gap in their backfield. This was a good opportunity for Sporting de Gijón to fight back. And the quick counterattack after the interception was a major characteristic of the current Sporting de Gijón.
