At the start of the second half of the game, the Aravis team launched a fierce attack on Sporting de Gijón's penalty area. The score of zero to three forced Aravis to go all out.
However, Sporting de Gijón's defensive line, led by the two young men, Juan - Carlos and Marcos, successfully contained Aravis. In particular, Juan - Carlos swept through the midfield. It could be said that wherever there was danger, Carlos would appear. This made Aravis' offense often stifled when it reached Carlos. It was difficult for them to launch a smooth attack.
In addition, Marcos's protection in the middle was like a barrier in front of the team's defenders. With Carlos's sweep and Marcos' subsequent interception, it became quite difficult for Aravis to threaten Sporting de Gijón's goal.
Whether it was Natezio or Dolores, they could not break through Marcos's defense in the middle. They could only look for opportunities on the flank.
On the flank, Carlos was already ready. He worked with the full back to set up a defensive line. It was like a fishing net, waiting for a big fish called Aravis to crash in.
*****
Aravis did not have a way to attack and were a little impatient. In the end, the players tried to rely on their individual ability to break through and find opportunities. Li Ang was least afraid of this. His team's overall defensive line was maintained quite well. No matter who came, they had the confidence to stop it.
Moreover, Aravis did not have a real star player. Although they had been brilliant a few seasons ago, they had sunk into the Segunda División for three seasons. The real star players had long been lost.
Aravis's team's leading scorer, Navarro, was the team's most threatening player. At the same time, Navarro was also ranked third in the Segunda División's scoring chart.
However, Navarro was not the kind of player who could rely on his individual skills to carve out a bloody path. In the face of Sporting de Gijón's tight defense, he was unable to receive support from the front. Naturally, he was unable to pose a threat to Sporting de Gijón's goal.
Li Ang sat in the coach's seat. Although Aravis' offense was relatively fierce after the start of the second half of the game, and it seemed to be a counterattack, Li Ang was not too worried.
Sporting de Gijón's defense was tight. They pressed hard and cut off their opponent's offensive line. There was only one way to break out of the encirclement with such a defensive tactic. This required the opponent's overall strength to be much higher than Sporting de Gijón's. They had to use skillful coordination to tear apart and adjust Sporting de Gijón's defense. It would be best if they had a star player with extraordinary strength who could single-handedly change the outcome of the match. Unfortunately, Aravis did not have any of these. Therefore, Li Ang was not too worried about anything. Unless his players made a fatal mistake, the goal was relatively stable.
Li Ang was waiting. Aravis' offense could not be strong all the time. The opponent was relying on a burst of energy to attack. Once the attack was not successful for a long time, the energy would dissipate and the game would once again return to Sporting de Gijón's control. At that time, it would be time for Sporting de Gijón to brandish their scythe and kill.
*****
The Aravis team had been attacking wildly for ten minutes, but they had not received any results. The score was still 0: 3, and they were three goals behind.
Aravis's manager, Macaronal, was very dissatisfied with this. He kept waving his arms off the field, signaling the team to press forward, attack, attack, attack.
The Aravis manager was very impatient. The team had not been attacking for a long time, and they could not even see any hope of scoring. This made him very anxious.
Li Ang glanced over there and saw that his colleague only knew how to wave his hands to signal the team to press forward. He curled his lips contemptuously. This person obviously lacked experience in dealing with this kind of situation, or to put it more bluntly: this person did not constitute a threat to him!
Macaronal only thought that the team was three goals behind and they had to attack, attack, attack. However, on the one hand, there was no strategy in the attack and they could not find a way to tear apart Sporting de Gijón's defense. At the same time, he did not notice the hidden fangs behind Sporting de Gijón's defense. Did this gentleman so quickly forget the sharp blade raised high by Sporting de Gijón in the first half of the game?!
It was almost time!
Li Ang looked at the field. Although Aravis's manager, Macaronal, had been roaring on the sidelines, the morale and fighting spirit of his players were inversely proportional. The Aravis players, who had been attacking for a long time and were unable to break the goal, were almost worn out.
Li Ang stood up, walked to the sidelines, and stared at the field. He did not speak, just looked at the sidelines, and then returned to the technical area and sat down.
Although Li Ang did not say anything, nor did he make any gestures, he just walked to the sidelines and returned to his seat. However, the players on the field already understood the manager's meaning: it was time to attack!
*****
Li Ang gave the signal to attack, but he did not expect Sporting de Gijón's next attack to come so soon, and there was a surprise.
Aravis was still trying to find a way to score. Their midfield core, Natezio, was dribbling the ball. In front of him was Marcos, who was waiting for him. This made Natezio frown. He had tried to break through from this man several times before, but the results were not good. The ball was either intercepted or forced to pass back. In any case, this path was blocked.
At the same time, Aravis' other striker, Ivan Alonso, retreated to support.
Natezio hesitated for a moment, but still chose to pass the football to Alonso.
Alonso stood in place and waited for the football, but he did not expect someone to rush out diagonally.
"Carlos! Beautiful! He stopped the football midway! "Dagestino shouted.
"Alonso stood in place and waited for the football. He did not take the initiative to receive the ball. Does he think he is having a proper meal in a hotel? Does he want the waiter to deliver the food to his mouth? "González said sarcastically.
Perhaps it was because Aravis had not been able to score for a long time, their players were a little tired. They were physically and mentally exhausted. This time, Alonso was a little lazy, or perhaps he was lax.
However, this was just a small mistake, and it was immediately caught by Sporting de Gijón!
*****
After Carlos intercepted the ball, he made a little adjustment and passed the football to Miguel Kobas.
Miguel Kobas dribbled the ball and suddenly plugged forward from the middle, catching De Sio off guard.
Ángel hurried to fill the gap.
Miguel Kobas took the opportunity to pass the football to Mata!
After Mata got the ball, he took advantage of his speed and began to accelerate to dribble the ball forward.
Aravis' full back, Martisno, came up to intercept. At the same time, their midfielder, Dolos Ge, also returned to his position this time.
"Martisno and Dolos Ge have surrounded Mata!" The commentator shouted.
Just as Martisno and Dolos Ge were about to close the encirclement, Mata knocked the football back with his heel and passed the football to Miguel Kobas, who came up to receive him. Then he leaped forward and jumped out of Martisno and Dolos Ge's encirclement.
And Miguel Kobas did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He took advantage of the situation and sent a straight pass just right.
The two Sporting de Gijón players cooperated tacitly and Mata opened a path.
*****
Aravis' full back, Trotta, had been in a nervous state since the start of the second half. He was afraid of Sporting de Gijón's wave after wave of attacks.
Fortunately, after the start of the second half, his side began to "lead" the attack and "take the initiative." Their goal was safe for the time being. This safety made Trotta breathe a sigh of relief.
And at this time, Sporting de Gijón's attack suddenly and violently came!
Trotta's whole spirit immediately tensed up.
At this moment, seeing Mata dribbling the ball over, Trotta gritted his teeth and pounced on Mata.
Mata did not slow down. He went straight into the middle of the penalty area!
"Don't let him break through! Stop him! "The goalkeeper, Pablo, shouted from behind the defenders.
Trotta crossed in front and the two sides were about to meet.
But Mata suddenly pulled the ball horizontally and then swung his calf.
He wants to shoot?!
Trotta was shocked!
He must not let him shoot!
Absolutely not!
At this moment, Trotta's mind was dominated by this thought!
His mind was full of one thought: Don't let the opponent shoot!
Trotta, who was obsessed with stopping the opponent, did not care about anything else and directly fell to the ground.
Then, everyone saw Mata fall like a tree cut down by a lumberjack!
He fell in the penalty area!
Then, everyone heard the referee's whistle when Mata fell to the ground.
