"Sporting de Gijón has made a change. They have brought in Franck Ribéry, a young player from the French lower league this summer, to replace Alexandre Samoel," Dagestino explained Sporting de Gijón's substitution. "Coach Li Ang hopes to strengthen the offense. He hoped to use offense to restrain Olomouc, but the substitution this time was difficult to look forward to. Franck Ribéry had been in the starting lineup for the previous four games, but all we saw was this Frenchman constantly bypassing people on the flank. Then, he would either miss a shot or be surrounded by his opponents … Clearly, this French low-level league player had not learned how to be a professional player! Although Coach Li Ang has always been praised for his foresight, I still have to say that this time, he has misjudged this Frenchman. This young man really does not inspire much hope, "he said, shaking his head.
The first substitution was Ribéry replacing Samoel.
Samoel ran down the field, breathing heavily. He high-fived Ribéry and returned to the substitutes' bench.
A male voice announced the substitution in the live broadcast, and then there was sparse applause in the stands. Ribéry's performance in the previous games was not very good, so the fans' attitude towards him was not very good.
On the sidelines, Li Ang chuckled. "No boos. Not bad."
Scotty looked at Li Ang and smiled bitterly.
Ribéry ran onto the field and took a deep breath. He told himself that he would turn this sparse applause into a tsunami of cheers!
Come on, Franck!
*****
After Ribéry replaced Samoel, the fourth official raised the sign that Modric replaced Albertini.
Albertini had already left the field due to an injury and was sitting on the substitutes' bench, so when the sign was raised, Modric ran onto the field.
"Luca Modric replaced Demetrio Albertini, who left the field due to an injury. This is a passive substitution. Albertini leaving the field due to an injury is obviously a situation that Coach Li Ang does not want to see," Gonzalo said. "Luca Modric, this Croatian lad is only 19 years old this year. He only came on as a substitute in the first round of the league game against Mallorca for ten minutes. After he came on, his performance was like …" Gonzalo thought for a moment and said, "It was like he did not play."
In front of the television, some fans laughed. Of course, these were not Sporting de Gijón fans. Although they might be unhappy with their players' poor performance, they would not accept such ridicule from the commentator. When Sporting de Gión fans heard this, some shook their heads, and some cursed.
"This Gonzalo's mouth is still as poisonous as ever. Some fans shook their heads. González was famous for being outspoken and without prejudice. If you played well, he would praise you to the heavens. If you played badly, his mouth would spit venom.

Sporting de Gijón's goal.
The goalkeeper, Valencia, directly kicked the ball to the front field. He did not choose to walk on the ground because he did not have much confidence in Modric, who had just come on. He was worried that the team's midfield would be out of control, so he simply kicked the ball.
Diego Milito was in the front field fighting for a header. The Olomouc defender, Wojciech, who was guarding him, wanted to squeeze the opponent's striker away. However, he found that the opponent was stronger than he thought.
Wojciech immediately pulled on Milito's jersey very discreetly. This small action affected Milito's header. He had originally intended to pass the football to Mata, but the football flew high into the air.
Olomouc's defensive midfielder, Jerome, rushed up to meet the falling ball. He raised his foot to kick it, but he saw a figure rushing up.
"Ribéry! Crazy Frenchman! "Gonzalo shouted.
There were also exclamations in the stands.
Ribéry rushed up. He was fearless in the face of his opponent's raised right foot. He used his head to point forward, and the opponent's studs almost brushed past his cheek.
Jerome was also shocked. He did not expect the opponent who had just come on to play to be so desperate.
"What are you waiting for? Go back and defend! "The team's captain, the center back, Kletinski roared.
*****
Ribéry pointed the ball down and began to accelerate. His speed was very fast. Faced with the Olomouc players who rushed up, he changed direction and went past them.
There was a burst of applause from the fans in the stands. It could be said that the Sporting de Gijón fans both loved and hated this French kid. Ribéry's dribbling was very solitary, and the fans could naturally see that. They had opinions about this kid who did not know how to pass the ball. However, seeing Ribéry's gallop and sharp breakthrough on the side was really, really f * * king satisfying!!!
Olomouc's captain, Kletinski, was already prepared. When Ribéry had just passed a player, he rushed up in a flash.
Straight down!
Amidst the screams of the Sporting de Gijón fans, Ribéry seemed to have been prepared for this. The Frenchman deftly pulled the ball and swept past Kletinski, who had fallen to the ground.
"He broke through!"
"Beautiful! He entered the penalty area! "
Ribéry, who had entered the penalty area, was not in a hurry to pass the ball or shoot. His right foot swung behind the ball and made a feint to shoot. The center back, Wojciech, who came up to fill the gap, jumped up and used his body to block.
At this time, Ribéry's right foot once again hooked the ball back and passed another player!
Olomouc's goalkeeper, Kolinski, had already stretched out his arms and lowered his center of gravity to block the near corner.
At this time, in the penalty area, Dinatale and Milito were on high alert. The two of them rushed to the front of the goal, ready to shoot. In their minds, Ribéry would not pass the ball. This kid would most likely choose to shoot. What they had to do was to seize the opportunity to shoot if the shot was in the goal range and the goalkeeper dipped the ball and let it go!
*****
Ribéry glanced at the goal. The goalkeeper lowered his hands and had already blocked the near corner.
If he forced a shot, it was likely to be blocked.
The French youth really wanted to do that at this time, but he thought of the person in the technical area and the words that the coach said to him: Franck, a great player, must not only maintain his characteristics, this is the talent that God has given him, but he must also know how to serve the team!
Ah ah ah, I, Franck, am a great player!
Ribéry strongly suppressed the desire to shoot. He turned slightly sideways and lifted his right foot at the same time. It looked like he was going to shoot.
Olomouc's goalkeeper, Kolinski, leaned his center of gravity forward and was ready to make the save.
Then, everyone saw Ribéry's right leg land on the ground.
When the foot landed, it changed from a kick to a push!
It was a push to the right side of his body!
This was a pass. Ribéry glanced at the outside of the penalty area from the corner of his eye. The Croatian kid was there!
Croatian kid, kick in for me!
The French youth roared in his heart!
*****
Modric cruised outside the penalty area. Because the team's goalkeeper, Valencia, had kicked the ball from the goal, the football did not pass through the midfield and went directly to the front field. Therefore, he had not touched the ball since he came on.
Ribéry's breakthrough, as well as Di Natale and Milito's forward penetration, attracted the defensive attention of almost all the Olomouc players. There was no one around Modric at this time.
He saw that Ribéry had bypassed many people and had already charged into the penalty area. Modric secretly applauded Ribéry in his heart. At the same time, he was also very envious. He did not have Ribéry's speed, and his footwork was not as good as the French guy's. It was difficult to see such a scene of him riding alone for thousands of miles, so he was envious.
Modric also thought that Ribéry would choose to shoot. That guy had been doing that before. He dribbled the ball crazily, bypassed people, and then shot.
Then, Modric saw the football rolling over.
He looked at the football rolling over and his mind paused for half a second. He was surprised. A guy who did not know how to pass the ball gave up on shooting and passed the ball!
The surprise was fleeting. Modric's breathing quickened. He knew that this was his chance. Before he came on, what did the coach say? Yes, let him do a long shot!
Was this not a good chance to do a long shot?
Modric went up to meet it!
No one came up to defend against him.
Yes, who would care about this young man who had just come on as a substitute? Moreover, Olomouc's defensive attention was attracted to him.
*****
Modric ran up and he went up to meet the football!
His left leg supported his body and he leaned back slightly.
He swung his right leg!
His body was like a taut bow. When the bowstring was released, it would release a huge amount of energy!
Long shot!
His swinging right leg was like a waving whip. The tip of the whip fiercely lashed at the football!
The football flew up!
Like a cannonball!
Quickly, it flew towards the goal!
Olomouc's goalkeeper, Kolinski's attention was on Ribéry. When he saw Ribéry suddenly choose to pass the ball, he was horrified. He quickly moved his body and then saw the shot.
A white light flashed.
He did not have time to make any moves to save the ball!
The white light was in front of his eyes!
Kolinski subconsciously stepped back and then sat on the ground!
Behind him, the net was violently lifted!
"LUKA – MOOODDDDDRRRRRIIIIIC!!!" When the net was sent flying high into the air, the commentator, Dagstino, jumped up and shouted loudly. "A genius strike! What a beautiful goal! What a wonderful long shot! Franck Ribéry passed the ball, he passed the ball! Then, this is his assist! Modric's goal! His first touch of the ball, his first shot, a goal! Coach Li Ang's substitution was immediate! "
El Molinon Stadium. At first, there was a moment of silence. Everyone seemed to be shocked by the shot!
Then, suddenly, a manic mood began to erupt. Huge cheers erupted like a tsunami and swept across the entire stadium!
Such a goal was enough to ignite the blood in the chest!
*****
Looking at the trembling net, Modric's mind went blank. A goal? I scored?
Then, the 19-year-old Croatian lad was hugged tightly by the 21-year-old French youth who rushed over.
"Nicely done, Croatian lad! Ahhhh, ahhhh. "
Ribéry hugged Modric tightly. The scar on his face rubbed against Modric. The feeling of assisting seemed pretty good …
Modric finally came to his senses. He scored, he scored. He wanted to thank the French. Where was the French? Then, he realized who the guy hugging him was. Modric, who was unable to control himself, kissed Ribéry …
On the sidelines, a reporter clicked on the shutter and captured this moment …
