When the players from both teams entered the field, the Sporting Gihon fans in the stands cheered loudly. They chanted 'Sporting Gihon', 'Sporting Gihon' over and over again!
They could not help but be excited. It had been more than ten years. They had been away from La Liga for too long. They missed the taste of La Liga, missed the air of La Liga, and missed the beautiful scenery of El Molinón Stadium when it welcomed Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and other powerhouses.
What did today's game mean for Sporting de Gijón? As long as they won this game, no, to be exact, as long as they tied this game, Sporting de Gijón could return to the stage of La Liga!
When Li Ang shook hands with the manager of Getafe, Estrella, the gentleman's expression was extremely serious.
"Mr. Estrella of Getafe has a serious expression," Dagestino said. "Getafe must win this game, and now El Molinon Stadium is recognized as the home of the devil in Segunda División. After Li Ang took over the team, the team has not tasted defeat at home so far. This is a test for the visiting team, Getafe."
*****
Li Ang stared at the field. Getafe's starting players matched the characteristics of these players in his mind.
As expected, Li Ang nodded slightly. The rain was getting heavier, indicating that the environment of this game would be more difficult. However, after seeing Getafe's starting lineup, Li Ang had a certain amount of confidence in his heart.
Harold Gerry was suspended with a red card. In today's game, Estrella used Vivito in the middle of the midfield position. However, Vivito was a typical player who was strong in offense and weak in defense. His ability to intercept in the midfield was much worse than the suspended Harold Gerry.
In addition, the 19-year-old de la Red was arranged to start by Estrella today, which was another signal.
Obviously, offense would be Getafe's main job today!
At least until the goal came, they would put all their energy into offense.
Li Ang gritted his teeth, but smiled. Getafe's entire front field was full of offensive players. There was not even a single engineer in the midfield.
Marcos and Carlos would probably like such a front field.
At the beginning of the game, Getafe kicked off. Logically speaking, Getafe should take advantage of this opportunity to control the football at their feet and then launch wave after wave of continuous attacks to threaten Sporting de Gijón's goal and strive to score first. After all, the result of their 0-1 loss at home was like a big stone in their hearts. They had to think of all ways to score first to equalize the overall score.
However, before Getafe's attack could get close to Sporting de Gijón 'goal, it was intercepted by Juan Carlos and Marcos.
When Li Ang saw this scene, he turned and walked back to the technical area. Although the game had just started, it could be seen from Getafe's passing attack. Getafe thought everything was too perfect. They thought that by constantly passing the ball in the midfield, they could comfortably advance to Sporting de Gijón's goal. Li Ang was very doubtful. In the last round of the game, Getafe besieged Sporting de Gijón for almost the entire game. Did they not learn a little lesson?
Yes, in today's game, Sporting de Gijón no longer had ten players, so their defensive strength would be reduced. However, at least Getafe should have learned from Sporting de Gijón's defensive performance in the last game. Why did they not learn a lesson?
Of course, Li Ang's thinking could be said to be pretentious. He was now secretly happy. If Getafe stubbornly wanted to make a fuss in the midfield, he was waiting to watch a good show. The combination of Carlos and Marcos was enough to strangle Getafe!
*****
On the field.
After Sporting de Gijón intercepted the ball, Marcos passed the football to Carlos.
After seeing Carlos take the ball. Vivito quickly rushed up. He was replacing Hardroglie, who had been suspended with a red card, so he was given a certain defensive role today.
Carlos saw Vito pounce towards him. He passed the football to Mata on the side.
Almost at the same time he passed the ball. Vival also moved. He pounced towards Mata, who received the ball, as if he intended to take advantage of Mata's stop to achieve his goal of stealing the ball.
Li Ang, who was sitting in the coach's seat, narrowed his eyes. This scene was so familiar.
Was Getafe pressing in the whole field?!
Li Ang was stunned, and then he did not know whether to laugh or cry. That's right, Getafe implemented a pressing strategy in the midfield, and pressing in the whole field was Li Ang's Sporting de Gijón's most important and best tactic at the moment.
Was Getafe planning to learn Sporting de Gijón's tactics and then suppress Sporting de Gijón?
Offensive suppression plus a pressing in the midfield, was this Essedra's tactic today?!
Li Ang looked at Getafe's colleague not far away and was suddenly a little speechless.
*****
"Vival went forward to steal Mata … Beautiful!" Dagestino shouted excitedly.
Mata was at the same time as Vival pounced. He directly pulled the ball horizontally, pulled the ball, and dodged to avoid Vival.
While successfully getting rid of the opponent's pressing, the most important thing was that when Vival pounced forward to steal, the other Getafe players did not follow up to press. Instead, they stood in place!
Li Ang saw this from the sidelines and his eyes lit up. He smiled.
Drawing a tiger but ended up looking like a dog!
He used this word to describe Getafe's imitation of Sporting de Gijón's pressing tactics. Sporting de Gijón's pressing tactics were more rigorous and aggressive. One person was pressing, and there were at least one or two other people waiting for the opportunity to move. On one hand, they were ready to help at any time, and on the other hand, they were protecting. Once their teammates failed to steal, they could form a second line of defense. They could delay the opponent's attack, and the teammates who had just failed to steal would have time to help defend and rush back.
Sporting de Gijón's pressing tactics were layered!
And it was clear that Getafe's pressing tactics were just an imitation of Sporting de Gijón's style. They did not grasp the essence of this tactic at all.
And this resulted in one result: Getafe's defensive line was linear!
This kind of defensive line lacked protection between each other and could be easily broken down one by one!
And this was the case!
After Mata avoided Vival's rush, he directly dribbled the ball along the flank for a surprise attack.
Coredi, who had been standing in place and watching Vival intercept, rushed forward in a hurry.
But Mata directly dribbled the ball at high speed and changed direction, directly bypassing him!
"Beautiful! Beautiful! "González shouted." Sporting de Gijón's counterattack after intercepting the ball! "
"Getafe's defensive line is useless!" Dagestino also shook his head and said.
*****
Mata bypassed Coredi and continued to dribble the ball.
Mata sped on the left flank. In the middle, Michael Pihela and Matt Bilic plugged in. On the right flank, Javier Blanco also plugged in quickly.
Juan Carlos followed in the middle. He could participate in the attack, and he could also switch from attack to defense at any time in the middle!
"Sporting de Gijón's speed!" Dagestino exclaimed.
Li Ang expected Getafe's team to press heavily. They aimed to score first. At this time, the most important thing for Sporting de Gijón's offense was not ball control, but speed. Mata and Javier Blanco, these two sides, were outstanding in speed, especially the former, who was quite useful in counterattacks.
This time, it was the same. Mata broke all the way on the left flank and was already close to the side of the penalty area. This directly made Getafe's defensive line panic.
Michael Pihela and Matt Bilic were like two daggers, inserted into Getafe's penalty area. The former's right hand was raised, asking for the ball.
This made Getafe's defensive players feel as if they were facing a great enemy. The 35-year-old veteran's header ability was now famous in the Segunda División.
Mata ignored Michael Pihela's request for the ball. He cut straight inside and plugged into the penalty area!
Getafe's center back was originally defending against Michael Pihela and Mata Bilic, but he did not expect Mata to not pass the ball. He was so determined to plug into the penalty area without any hesitation …
After Mata rushed into the penalty area, he swung his leg and pretended to shoot. He tricked Getafe's center back Moya to fly over to block, but the football suddenly diverted to the side. On the right flank, Javier Blanco received the football.
Javier Blanco did not hesitate and directly lifted his leg!
It was not a shot!
It was a cross!
*****
Mata dribbled the ball from the left flank to the center. Now the football was at the feet of Javier Blanco on the right flank, but the latter directly lifted his leg and the football flew straight back to the left flank!
Who was there?!
"Meghul Pihra! He's unmarked now … His header … "
Sporting de Gijón's continuous movement exhausted Getafe's defensive center of gravity. Michael Pihela's side was completely empty!
The thirty-five-year-old veteran easily headed the ball to the goal!
The football flew straight to the goal. Getaway Fédération's goalkeeper, Brotto, flew to save, but the distance was too close. The angle of Maikol Pihra's header was also tricky. No matter how good the goalkeeper was, he could not do anything.
"Goooool!" Dagestino, the commentator for Espana National Radio 5, jumped up from his seat.
He was really excited. Sporting de Gijón's attack this time was really wonderful. The coordination of the two flanks, the movement of the two flanks, and the insertion of the middle. Getafe's defense was completely led away!
The process and result of this goal was really beautiful!
Dagestino's commentary partner, González, also jumped up. The latter subconsciously looked at the time. "One minute and twelve seconds! One minute and twelve seconds! Sporting de Gijón quickly scored a goal. They have achieved a dreamlike lightning start! "
In the stands of the El Molinon Stadium, countless fans responded. They raised their arms high and let out loud cheers!
At the same time, outside the stadium, in the city's big and small bars, on the big screens in the square, and on the taxi radio, only González's voice was shouting, "One minute and twelve seconds, one minute and twelve seconds! Sporting de Gijón quickly scored a goal. They have achieved a dreamlike lightning start! Michael Pihela has taken the lead for Sporting de Gijón! Gijón is in the lead! This lead came so quickly. It's unbelievable. They succeeded in their first attack! But they are really in the lead! "
In the El Molinon Stadium, the cheers were like a storm!
Gijón, the port city of the northern capital of Spain, was like a tsunami at this moment!
