Li Ang stood by the side of the field.
His heart was now at ease.
After the start of the second half of the game, the entire Sporting de Gijón team was like an enraged bull, frantically attacking Cadiz's goal!
Such a fierce attack could be said to have caught Cadiz off guard.
Or it could be said that Cadiz had guessed that Sporting de Gijón, who was behind in the score, would attack because Sporting de Gijón had no other choice but to attack.
However, they did not expect Sporting de Gijón's attack to be so fierce.
Even in the first half of the game, Sporting de Gijón had always adopted defensive counterattack tactics, and did not show their full offensive energy to their opponents!
Now, Cadiz felt Sporting de Gijón's frenzied attack!
Juan Mata dribbled the ball, and he used a nimble move to dodge Cadiz's midfielder, Cortés.
Then, he pretended to continue dribbling the ball to break through, and then suddenly diverted to the side. Then, people saw Jeffery charge up, and he directly raised the ball into the penalty area.
Maiquel Pihra jumped high. He jumped half a head higher than Els, who was guarding him, and successfully completed the action of swinging his head to attack the goal.
Cadiz's goalkeeper, Cadani, almost subconsciously swung his fist and hit the football out.
Then, Miguel Kobas followed up with a cold shot, and the football slightly deviated from the post.
*****
Although the ball did not go in, the Sporting de Gijón fans still rang out in the stands with cheers. After the start of the second half of the game, the team's offensive gave them hope.
Li Ang also applauded on the side of the field, cheering for the team's attack this time.
His words during the halftime interval had worked. The young players were not in a stable state, and their psychological quality was not strong enough. These were their shortcomings. But at the same time, they also had advantages — they were easily motivated and easily stimulated to play a huge role!
Sporting de Gijón, who had been "awakened" by Li Ang's scolding, was now demonstrating this power to the people.
Juan Mata was Sporting de Gijón's current offensive weapon. The 17-year-old boy had exquisite footwork and was fast. His lightning-fast dribbling and breakthroughs were now a sight to behold at the El Molinon Stadium.
At this time, Mata was unusually active. When the Cadiz players were one-on-one with him, they would not be able to successfully defend against him. Unless there were two or even three players at the same time, it would be possible to intercept the ball at his feet. As long as Mata took the ball, he could oppress Cadiz's defensive line and constantly threaten the opponent's rear defensive line. This made Cadiz hesitate and unable to organize an effective counterattack.
*****
Sporting de Gijón's offensive focus was completely different at this time. Mata was on the left side, the left midfielder, Javier Blanco, and the left full back, Geoffrey. Sporting de Gijón seemed to be determined to focus on Cadiz's right side.
This also caused Cadiz's defensive line to be seriously damaged.
Li Ang's gaze was fixed on Cadiz's left side. Li Ang had specifically said before the game that Cadiz's left full back, Redit, liked to assist. He was not a full back who was comfortable staying in his own half of the field.
At this moment, Sporting Gihon's offense was focused on Cadiz's right flank, which made Redit's side more relaxed. This full back, who was unwilling to be left out, constantly moved forward when he came out to assist in the defense.
At the very least, Li Ang saw the full back raise his hand to ask for the ball three times. He hoped that his side could pass the ball to him and let him dribble the ball to counterattack.
However, under Sporting de Gijón's offensive pressure and pressing, Cadiz was unable to form a counterattack for a while.
Redit, who was unwilling to be left out, leaned forward even more in this situation. Moreover, he began to move closer to the middle, as if he intended to intercept the ball himself and counterattack. When Redit moved up, there would be a temporary gap in his original defensive position and Cadiz's left side!
Li Ang narrowed his eyes. He saw that Redit's position had been near the center circle, ready to plug in at any time. This was really a full back with an offensive blood in his bones.
It was Li Ang's favorite to see such a restless full-back in the opposing team.
*****
Sporting de Gijón's offense came again. This time, they still seemed determined to attack the left side.
Mata dribbled the ball. He glanced at Redit, who was a little hesitant at the far end. Then, he suddenly moved closer to the middle.
Mata first spiked the ball, bypassed Cortés, and then continued to dribble the ball.
Sure enough, this attracted Redit to come over to fill the position.
At this moment, Mata stopped, half-turned, and then flicked his ankle to pass the football out in the opposite direction!
"Beautiful and accurate transfer! Dorado has received the ball, and Cadiz's side is completely empty! "Dagestino suddenly shouted.
Huge cheers erupted in the stands at El Molinon Stadium. The fans' chests began to warm up. They knew that this was a great opportunity.
Redit was completely dribbled over by Mata.
Now, Cadiz's left side was completely empty.
Seeing this scene, Li Ang stood up from the technical area, clenched his fists, and leaned forward to take a look. This was the routine he asked the team to practice during training. The main attack on Cadiz's side would attract the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and then make full use of the width of the field to counterattack from the other side!
Now, the opportunity was here!
*****
When Cadiz's players turned around and found that there were no defenders in front of Dorado, they had to organize a defensive formation. The team's left center back, Lefterdragon, hurried up to cover the defense.
However, Lefterdragon did not directly pounce on Dorado. Instead, he stayed at the top of the penalty area arc. Looking at this posture, as long as Dorado did not dribble the ball close to the penalty area, he would not come out.
This was a more secure defense. Lefterdragon did not dare to pounce up because he knew that the defensive strength on his side was weak. If he pounced up and was bypassed, the penalty area behind him would be empty.
Dorado dribbled two steps and found that the opponent did not rush up immediately. He looked at the penalty area and adjusted a little. Suddenly, he raised the ball and hooked the football into the penalty area.
This caught Cadiz off guard because Dorado could have dribbled a little further forward, so that he could be closer to the penalty area and the goal! No one expected him to suddenly raise his leg to pass the ball so early.
"This is -" Cadiz's left center back, Lefterdragon, turned his head to look in surprise, and then he was horrified to see a shadow rushing over.
It was Michael Pihra. He suddenly sprinted, squeezed past Lefterdragon, who was still in a daze, and then jumped high.
Facing the football in the air, Michael Pihra swung his head to attack the goal. This was a header that was slightly further away from the goal!
When Cadiz's goalkeeper, Cadani, saw Michael Pihra jump up to head the ball, his reaction was quick. He dived for the ball, but this time, he could not touch the football. The football flew past his left side.
Then, the football continued to fly forward, almost flying close to the crossbar of the goal and into the net!
