"I can't believe what I'm seeing. Only six minutes into the game, we're already behind by two goals. Gijon's first attack, their first shot, broke through our goal. Then their second attack, which was not a threat at all, was actually kicked back by our defender to an offside player, causing a second goal concede. What else can I say? Are you saying that Gijon's luck is really good, or that our luck is really bad? Zero to two, the overall score is zero to three … Even though the game has just started, Gijon's people are already celebrating … "The Madrid commentator looked very depressed. He really could not understand why Getafe's team had such a performance. Zero to one at home was not the end of the world for Getafe. They had the hope of making a comeback in this game, but this hope only lasted for six minutes before it turned into despair!
The Madrid reporters in the media box were also stunned. They really could not believe what they were seeing with their own eyes. They could not understand why Getafe was facing such a desperate situation so quickly.
The Madrid commentator and reporters could not understand, and neither could the Getafe players and coaches.
The opponent had attacked twice, shot twice, scored twice, and conceded the second goal, which was an own goal by their own defender.
They felt that this was simply a nightmare, a nightmare that had suddenly descended.
*****
Li Ang and the coaching staff were high-fiving to celebrate. Li Ang accepted the gift of an own goal from the opponent with a smile.
The home score was two to zero, and the overall score was three to zero. Now, Li Ang's confidence in eliminating Getafe and getting a promotion spot was unprecedentedly high.
"Li, Li, we're going to La Liga, we're going to La Liga!" Assistant Manager Scott shouted excitedly. It looked like he was about to cry.
"Calm down, Jesús." Li Ang patted Scott's shoulder. "The game has just begun. We can't completely relax yet."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Scott smiled a little embarrassedly. He felt a little ashamed that he was not as calm and collected as the young Li Ang.
Little did he know that Li Ang was also feeling smug in his heart. His little tail was about to curl up. He was just pretending to be calm.
Sporting de Gijón's substitutes' bench was also filled with jubilation.
The Sporting Gihon fans in the stands had already started to create a human wave. The rising and falling of the human wave was a spectacular sight.
The Sporting de Gijón fans were obviously very excited. They were very optimistic about returning to La Liga, even though the game had just begun.
Pepe, who was sitting in the stands, was also very happy. He joined the crowd of fans around him.
Of course, Pepe had reason to be happy. He was going to be a Sporting de Gijón player. If he had to choose between playing in La Liga and Segunda División, he would definitely choose the latter.
Pepe also learned about Sporting de Gijón's current situation from Mendes. They had won the away match 1-0, and now the match had just started and the home match was already 2-0. Under such circumstances, their prospects for promotion were extremely optimistic.
"They are really good," Pepe said to Mendes.
Mendes did not say anything. He just smiled and nodded. He could see that Pepe was starting to mentally accept Sporting de Gijón.
At the same time, Mendes was also very surprised. He knew that Getafe would go all out in this game. It would not be easy for Sporting de Gijón to take down their opponent at home. Who would have thought that Sporting de Gijón's two attacks and two shots would result in two goals?
This kind of attacking efficiency was simply incredible.
Of course, there was also luck. Sporting de Gijón's second goal was really too lucky. The opponent's defender's clearance of the siege was an assist for an own goal. This kind of scene was rare.
*****
In the chairman's box, Sporting de Gijón's president, Manuel Arango, was very excited again. He jumped up and cheered loudly. He even shook his butt.
This made Getafe's president, Torres, extremely angry. He almost could not hold it in. He really wanted to kick the damn Sporting de Gijón's president in the butt …
Sporting de Gijón's young and beautiful general manager, Miss Benita Arango, was so excited that she covered her small mouth. She could not believe her eyes.
Getafe's head coach, Estela, did not have to make any choices. Was there any other way for Getafe to go? No!
They could only go on the attack and try to score. That was the only way to go!
Estela stood on the sidelines, shouting, roaring, gesticulating, and directing the team to attack.
Li Ang also signaled on the sidelines to stabilize the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
With a score of 2-0, Sporting de Gijón could fight back more confidently.
Getafe's players knew that at this time, they had no other way but to go on the attack.
After the game kicked off again in the middle of the circle, Getafe launched a fierce attack, putting pressure on Sporting de Gijón's half of the field.
However, with two goals in hand, Sporting de Gijón's players were more confident and their morale skyrocketed.
*****
In the following matches, Sporting Gihon displayed an extremely tough attitude in the face of the Getafe players' attacks. They fought with their lives on the line against the Getafe players in every corner of the field. Even if it was not a 50-50 ball, they still had to snatch the ball. This kind of fighting and pressing caused Getafe's offense to run into trouble in the midfield many times. They were caught in a quagmire of hand-to-hand combat.
Not only that, Sporting de Gijón made full use of the speed of their counterattack. As long as there was a chance to counterattack, their two flanks would press tightly and constantly attack Getafe's defensive line. This put a lot of pressure on Getafe. Getafe's two flanks could not press out to help the team's attack because they had to be wary of Sporting de Gijón's sharp counterattack!
De la Red took the ball in the midfield and tried to organize an attack, but Carlos stuck to him like a sticky candy. De la Red used all kinds of methods, but he found that he could not get rid of Sporting de Gijón's midfield sweeper.
This time, De la Red was once again entangled by Carlos. He had no choice but to choose to pass the ball back to Coredi. The latter had just received the ball when Marcos's tackle arrived and directly shoveled the football out of the sidelines. Coredi was also conveniently put to the ground.
"Beautiful interception. Marcos did not foul!" Dagestino exclaimed. "Carlos and Marcos have a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding. It is completely difficult for Getafe to form an effective offense in the midfield."
"Sporting de Gijón's fighting spirit has been stimulated," González said. González said, "Manager Li Ang's team is getting more and more confident as they play … Now, victory is in sight …"
