After the interception, Marcos passed the football out, and Miguel Kobas came over to receive the pass. Sporting de Gijón's captain was the one with the highest passing standard in Sporting de Gijón's midfield. One of Li Ang's tactical routines was to quickly pass the ball after the interception and pass the football to Miguel Kobas as much as possible so that the team's captain could organize the attack!
This tactical arrangement was partly because Miguel Kobas had good footwork, and partly because Miguel Kobas had the most game experience in Sporting de Gijón's current midfield. Sporting de Gijón's midfield could be said to be the youngest team out of all the 42 teams in the current Segunda División and La Liga.
Zaragoza's midfielder, Zapata, was cruising in the midfield. When he saw Miguel Kobas receive the ball and lift his leg to make a pass, he was so frightened that he did not even have time to call for his other teammates to return to defense. He turned and ran back.
"Return to defense!" Zaragoza's manager, Victor Fernandez, who had been sitting calmly on the fishing platform, suddenly stood up from his seat. In front of Zaragoza's goal, their goalkeeper, Lionel, waved his arms and shouted, "Return to defense!"
Some of the Zaragoza players had not yet realized the danger. They were still in the front field, and Moreno was yelling at Carney, questioning his teammate why he did not pass the ball earlier.
Carney did not speak. Instead, he looked over in panic. He looked in the direction of his own half of the field.
Moreno saw that Carney did not speak and was a little angry. He was about to continue to question him, but he saw Carney run back.
Miguel Kobas swung his right leg. A long pass!
"Sporting de Gijón's counterattack … Kobas, he passed the ball! Who did he pass it to … Mata!!! "
The football was flying in the air. On the ground, Mata was sprinting like an arrow from a bow.
On the sidelines, Li Ang suddenly rushed to the sidelines and looked nervously at the field, muttering to himself.
*****
The football was falling. Mata stopped the ball.
It was a beautiful stop.
Mata was smart. He did not stop the football. Instead, he moved the football forward. In this way, the football continued to roll forward and he could catch up with the football. He could dribble the ball forward and continue to play to his speed advantage.
The Zaragoza defender, César Jiménez, rushed forward. However, he was too nervous. This young defender was inexperienced. He pounced too fiercely!
"Idiot!" Víctor Fernández, the head coach of Zaragoza, scolded.
Then people saw Mata poke the football forward and then dodged to avoid Jiménez's scramble. Then he sped up to chase the ball again.
"Breakthrough! Beautiful! Jimenez's lunge was too ferocious. He had thrown his center of gravity away! Mata broke through easily! "González shouted.
"Not only did he pounce too fiercely, Jimenez also turned around too slowly!" After being bypassed, Jimenez turned around to chase, but he turned too slowly. By the time he turned around, Mata had already dribbled the ball forward and was at least three meters away from him.
"Sporting de Gijón's chance!! Mata is single-handed. He cuts to the middle and enters the penalty area! "
The other center back, Toledo, hurriedly left Sporting de Gijón's other striker, Matt Bilic, and came up to cover the defense.
Mata's feet shifted and he was about to spike the ball over. Then he fell to the ground like a tree cut down by a lumberjack.
He fell in the penalty area.
*****
"Penalty!" Li Ang waved his arm hard and shouted.
"Dive! Bastard! "Víctor Fernández also rushed out of the technical area and roared angrily.
The Zaragoza players who returned to defend finally rushed back. They looked at the scene in bewilderment. Some ran to the penalty area and some rushed directly to the referee.
The Sporting de Gijón players were the same. Matt Bilic ran directly to the referee. The captain, Miguel Cobas, ran up and first asked if Mata was injured, then looked at the referee.
Everyone's eyes stopped on the referee.
"Mata fell to the ground in the penalty area. It seems that Toledo knocked him down. Let's see what the referee, Harvey, will call," González said. "… Penalty! Penalty! Havilo awarded a penalty kick, he awarded a penalty kick! Not only that, he showed a yellow card to Toledo, who fouled! "
The Toledo and Zaragoza players surrounded the referee. They were pleading. Toledo said that he did not foul and that he was innocent.
The referee pointed to his eyes, meaning that he saw it clearly. Stop quibbling.
The Sporting de Gijón players were also protesting. They were protesting the yellow card that the referee gave to Toledo. They thought it should have been a red card!
On the sidelines, Li Ang saw the referee give a penalty. He raised his arms and cheered, but then he saw that the referee only showed a yellow card to Toledo. Li Ang was not happy.
"This is definitely a red card foul!" Li Ang protested loudly to the fourth official. "That guy is the last defender! Do I need to talk to the referee about this rule? "
Li Ang looked angry. He certainly felt that he had a reason to be angry. If it had been a red card plus a penalty, that would have been perfect. Moreover, Li Ang insisted that it should have been a red card!
Víctor Fernandez, the head coach of Zaragoza, saw that the referee had given a penalty kick and a yellow card. He cursed unhappily. Then he heard his colleagues next door protesting incessantly. This was a red card!
Fernandez was even more upset. He rushed over and shouted with an unfriendly expression, "What red card? I can say that your player dived! "
Li Ang was upset. He was already upset with this arrogant peer. He still remembered the humiliation at the press conference. Now that this person had come over, Li Ang could not let him go.
"Dive? You dare to say that it was a dive? "Li Ang was sharp-tongued." Do you dare to touch your conscience and say that it was a dive? "
"What I saw was a dive!" Fernández roared.
"Come on! Your red card plus a penalty is a foul. Now it's just a yellow card. You took advantage of the situation and still don't admit it. Be careful of retribution! "Li Ang said contemptuously.
Fernandez was furious. He had never seen an opponent's manager with such a foul mouth.
The fourth official was dumbfounded. He was going to appease the visiting team's manager, but before he could speak, he saw the two managers arguing. He looked at the two coaches, one old and one young. "Shut up! Don't argue. "
Then the two men turned their heads and glared at him.
"Do you need me to call the referee to talk to you?" The fourth official threatened.
Li Ang and Fernandez both snorted and walked away resentfully.
In the 19th minute of the game, Sporting de Gijón played a beautiful counterattack. After Mata received a long pass from Miguel Kobas, he passed the opposing defender, Jimenez, and broke into the penalty area to get a one-on-one chance. Then he was knocked down by the Zaragoza defender, Toledo, in the penalty area. The referee, Harvey Luo, awarded a penalty and a yellow card package!
