"The front and back of the Alavis team are gradually disconnected." The commentator, Dagestino, also saw the problem.
As he said this, the camera gave a close-up of the Alavis manager, Macarona, on the sidelines. The man's face was full of hesitation.
"Mr. Macarona still seems to be hesitating," Gonzalez said. González said. "Whether he continues to attack or defend, he'd better make a decision early. A burnt pie is better than a moldy pie." He used a Spanish proverb to remind MacCarronal of his indecision.
Finally, when Macarona realized that the situation was not good, he gestured to the players on the field to unify their thoughts and defend with all their might to avoid continuing to concede the ball.
However, his tactical command came too late. The team's confused and passive situation on the field could not be immediately reversed with a tactical command.
Almost at the same time that Macarona gave the tactical command to defend, Sporting de Gijón's storm-like offensive poured through the gap between the front and back of the Alavis team and directly broke through the Alavis' sand-stacked defensive line.
At the eighteenth minute of the game, Mata used his footwork skills to dribble the ball and attract the Alavis' defensive attention. He suddenly moved horizontally, and then people saw the Sporting de Gijón right back, Dorado, cut in. On this side, the Alavis midfield defense was completely empty.
It was as if there was a grassland in front of Dorado. He dribbled the ball all the way and passed the ball to the middle. Macarona Pihra's header was pounced on by the Alavis goalkeeper, Pablo. Macarona Pihra shot again, but after it was blocked by the Alavis center back, Macarona Pihra's header shot back and finally scored the football!
After the goal, Macarona Pihra was so excited that he opened his arms and ran to the corner flag. Then he was tackled to the ground by his chasing teammates, and the stacked human pyramid celebration was repeated.
*****
“Goooool！”
"2: 0! Sporting de Gijón has completely taken the initiative. They are two goals ahead of the Alavis team! This is really a situation we did not expect before the game … The away team, which we thought might have a certain advantage, is completely powerless in the face of Sporting de Gijón's offensive! "
"Two to zero! Sporting de Gijón took less than 20 minutes to lead Aravés by two goals! "
"That's awesome! What a wonderful goal! McGuire shot the ball into the net. We are now leading Alavés by two goals to zero! What a great match! What a wonderful match! Well done, lad! "Gihon's commentator shouted excitedly.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing. Our team is actually two goals behind … What the hell is going on? Since the start of the game, the team has been passive and completely suppressed by Sporting de Gijón! We can't see any hope in a match like this! "Alavis's commentator was very depressed.
He himself could not understand why the Alavés team had such a performance. He did not understand how Sporting de Gijón could erupt with such fierce energy at the start of the game! If the last time the two sides met in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Sporting de Gijón defeated Aravés with defensive counterattack tactics and cunning, which made the Aravés people very unconvinced. Then, in the first leg of the promotion playoff semi-finals, Sporting de Gijón's tide-like offensive, as well as their comprehensive suppression of Aravés, and these two goals, made the Aravés people shocked. They could not believe their eyes. They had never seen Sporting de Gijón like this before, and they were afraid! They suddenly had a feeling that this game boded ill rather than well.
Aravés valued this opportunity to enter the promotion playoff very much. They were relegated from La Liga two seasons ago. As a strong team that entered the UEFA Europa League final three seasons ago, Aravés was more eager to return to La Liga than any other team.
Today, in the first leg of the promotion playoff game against Sporting de Gijón, the Aravés people had great confidence. In their opinion, after learning the lesson of being eliminated by Sporting de Gijón in the Copa del Rey, after they really faced this opponent, they had great hope of defeating Sporting de Gijón. At the very least, they still had the confidence to remain undefeated in this away game!
However, only twenty minutes into the game, the Aravés people suffered a huge blow!
*****
It was not only the Aravés commentator and fans who could not understand the score and situation on the field at this moment.
The Aravés players on the field, as well as the Aravés manager on the sidelines, and the Aravés players on the substitutes' bench, could not understand either.
They could not accept the current situation!
How could Sporting de Gijón suddenly become so strong?!
Their opponent's strength surpassed theirs?
So much so that Sporting de Gijón was so strong that they could easily lead them by two goals?!
The Aravés people did not understand. They were at a loss, they were depressed, and they were a little depressed.
With such emotions and psychological state to play football, Aravés' performance could be imagined. Or all of this could be explained in one sentence: Aravés were stunned by Sporting de Gijón's fierce offensive!
What frightened the Aravés people was that after Sporting de Gijón led by two goals, they did not stop. Instead, their fighting spirit was even more exuberant.
Sporting de Gijón used wave after wave of offensive to attack the Aravés team until they could only shrink back and defend. They did not even have the opportunity to occasionally counterattack.
Sporting de Gijón's crazy offensive was very likely to end the game in half of the game!
Although this kind of thinking might have been laughable before the competition! Aravés' ranking was higher than Sporting de Gijón, and when it came to the strength of the players, Aravés, who had only been relegated from La Liga for two seasons and had reached the UEFA Europa League final three years ago, still retained some strength. At the very least, they were the best in La Liga! In many people's eyes, Aravés had a high chance of passing Sporting de Gijón and advancing to the promotion playoff final.
It was precisely because of this that everything that happened in today's game was even more shocking. Looking at the current situation, Sporting de Gijón could really establish a huge victory in half of the game!
*****
This situation changed from a possibility to a reality at the forty-second minute of the game.
Sporting de Gijón had a corner kick opportunity.
Juan Mata's corner kick went into the penalty area. This time, Sporting de Gijón deliberately did not look for Maikel Pihra. Instead, they looked for their own defender, Isma, who came up to participate in the corner kick attack!
Isma jumped high and jumped half a head higher than Martisno, who was defending him!
A beautiful swing of the head to attack the goal!
The football fiercely smashed into the net!
Three to zero!
Sporting de Gijón extended their lead to three goals!
The entire El Molinón stadium was in a frenzy!
The announcer at the stadium almost crazily shouted the score of three to zero. He also shouted in the aria of the Spanish bards, "Let the storm come fiercer!"
