The Gijon players were celebrating the goal. Their manager raised his arms and cheered. The camera was also focused on the away team's technical area.
0: 1. It was nothing. Casso, who was sitting in the away team's technical area, shrugged and said to his assistant. He was not very upset.
"It was just an accident. The game has just started. We have enough time …" He looked up and glanced at the electronic scoreboard in the stands.
To be honest, Casso did not expect his team to concede a goal so early. However, he had confidence in his team.
"The scorer is Franck —"
The live broadcast was loudly announcing the player who had just scored. The fans in the stands tacitly replied in unison, "— Ribéry!"
The 21-year-old French youth was very happy and was being celebrated by his teammates on the field. He was also very satisfied with the goal. He did not stop the ball and directly volleyed it into the air. This kind of goal was very intoxicating for the scorer.
"Very good, the box has been opened!" Li Ang sat back in the technical area and said to Banderas next to him.
Against an Italian club, the first goal was always the most difficult. As long as the deadlock on the field could be broken as soon as possible, the game would become a lot easier.

"The Gijon players' goal was beautiful. Di Natale's pass was very wonderful … "The Italian commentator praised Di Natale, who had provided the assist for Ribéry. Perhaps, this was the only part of Sporting de Gijón's goal that made the Italians feel a little more comfortable.
"In the Spanish game, Di Natale's performance was amazing. He is now the absolute main force of this dark horse team in La Liga." While the Gijon players were celebrating the goal, the Italian commentator simply changed the topic and began to introduce Di Natale to the Italian fans. It was indeed necessary to introduce him. Before his transfer to Sporting de Gijón, Di Natale was not very famous in Italy.
"Casso's team seems to lack the necessary preparation for the difficulties they will face in this away game," Fisichella, the commentator of Italy National Channel 3, said.
Casso looked very calm in the camera, but after only a minute, this gentleman could no longer sit still.
Sporting de Gijón broke the deadlock on the field with Ribéry's beautiful goal. Both teams kicked off in the center circle.
Lazio kicked off in the center circle. It was reasonable to say that the relatively stronger Lazio team should take advantage of this opportunity to control the ball at their feet and then launch wave after wave of continuous attacks to threaten Sporting de Gijón's goal and try to equalize the score as soon as possible.
But. Their attack had not yet approached Sporting de Gijón's goal when it was intercepted by Juan Carlos and Modric.
Carlos Modric ing the ball, and Modric ing the ball, he was ready to launch attack er ate attack nal ate side.
. Li cic cen e ry or cic ate ri on it cic cen ner ate or ter ers or jon ry was The biggest beneficiary of Mata's injury was Modric. If there were no accidents, the Croatian youngster would occupy a main starting position in the following period of time. For Modric, this was an excellent opportunity to improve himself and strengthen his position in Manager Li Ang's heart.

In Lazio's midfield, Jenni Keida was the first obstacle that Sporting de Gijón had to overcome if they wanted to face the goal directly. In the pre-match tactical analysis meeting, Li Ang and the coaching staff studied Jenni Keida's technical features thoroughly. If they wanted to beat Lazio, Jenni Keida would be the first to bear the brunt.
Jenni Keida's growth was also an inspirational story of grassroots fame. When Zaccheroni was in charge of Udinese, he proposed that the team buy a young defensive midfielder named Jenni Keida from Italian Serie C's Sola. He even gave up the Italian national player, Rosito, for him. A few years later, Jenni Keida became an outstanding defensive midfielder in Serie A and was poached by the spendthrift Lazio at that time. This made Lazio's waist, which had long been "weak in the waist and knees," finally harden.
Li Ang knew Jenni Keida very well. Many Chinese fans knew him. Of course, in addition to being a tough defensive midfielder, there was another reason why he attracted attention. That was, Jenni Keida's wife, Lidolfi, was very sexy and beautiful. She was a long-haired beauty with a devilish body (91-63-93 measurements) and had always been the darling of fashion and entertainment magazines.
The Italian media often joked about Giannichedda when he was not in a good state: his wife was too beautiful.
*****
At this time, Li Ang really hoped that Jenni Keida's body was emptied by Lidolfi. Then, Sporting de Gijón could directly bypass this obstacle and go straight to the root of the problem. Of course, this was impossible because Lidolfi did not come with the team to Gijón. Some of the tabloid reporters in Gijón were very disappointed.
The Italian team's defense was very layered.
After seeing Modric take the ball. Manfredini immediately rushed up, while Jenni Keida stood still.
Modric saw Manfredini rushing towards him. He passed the football to Albertini, who was not far from him.
Almost at the same time when he passed the ball. Jenni Keida also moved. He pounced like a black panther towards Albertini, who was ready to receive the ball. Lazio's manager, Caso, knew that Albertini was Sporting de Gijón's metronome. He was the key point in Sporting de Gijón's offense. Caso handed the heavy responsibility of defending Albertini to Jenni Keida.
Jenni Keida's style was tough and decisive. He planned to intercept the ball at the same time when Albertini received the ball. At that time, the receiver was not standing firmly and it was indeed a good opportunity to intercept the ball.
"Albertini received the ball … Beautiful!" Dagestino shouted excitedly.
At the same time that Gianni Kaidada pounced on him, Albertini knocked the football to Modric behind him with his heel. He ran forward on his own and Modric sent the ball out. The football rolled past Gianni Kaidada and returned to Albertini's feet again.
It was just a simple two-versus-one combination, but the commentator, Dagestino, cheered loudly. This was because after this simple combination, when Albertini took the ball again, there was a vacuum in front of him: Giannicheda and Manfredini were the barrier of Lazio's midfield, especially the former. Now, Manfredini had been moved over by Modric, and Giannicheda had been bypassed in an instant!
At this moment, a passageway appeared in front of Albertini's right!
This was the attacking passageway.
*****
Albertini did not hesitate at all. The football was sent out to Di Natale's feet.
"Albertini's pass! It's very penetrating! "
"Sporting de Gijón's quick attack!"
After Di Natale received the ball, he cut straight inside and plugged into the penalty area!
Lazio's center backs were originally guarding against Diego Milito and Ribéry. The former was Sporting de Gijón's official center forward, while Ribéry was particularly active and had just scored a goal.
However, they did not expect that after Jenni Keida's reckless tackle was broken through, a hole was torn in their defensive line in an instant. Albertini's pass took advantage of this gap and accurately found Di Natale, who was retreating to receive!
Di Natale retreated to receive the ball. There was no one guarding beside him: Ribéry suddenly plugged in to help him attract attention!
What made Lazio's people even more flustered was that after receiving the ball, Di Natale was so determined to plug into the penalty area without any hesitation …
After Di Natale rushed in to score, he swung his leg as if he was going to shoot. This deceived Lazio's center back, Silvia, into leaving Diego Milito and flying over to block Di Natale's shot.
Seeing that Silvia had been moved over by him, Di Natale passed the football horizontally to Milito in the penalty area …
*****
"Diego Milito! He's unmarked now … He shoots … "
Milito would never let such an opportunity go to waste! He shot directly, and the football flew straight to the goal. Lazio's goalkeeper, Peruzzi, flew over to save, but the distance was too close. Milito's shot was very decisive and powerful. The speed of the ball was very fast. Even Peruzzi, who was ten years younger, could not have saved the ball, let alone now that he was 34 years old …
It was really an explosive shot. The football was kicked into the net by the Argentinian striker, and the snow-white net swung high. The net shook, and under the illumination of the floodlights, it was as beautiful as the stars!
Sporting de Gijón scored two goals in two minutes. Their offense was like a tiger!
