Outsiders might not understand Di Canio's feelings for Lazio. He played in the Premier League for a total of seven seasons and became an idol of the Premier League. After five relatively peaceful years at Upton Park, Di Canio signed with Curbishley's Charlton Athletic. However, he soon broke his contract and left The Valley. At the age of 36, he joined Lazio again. There were rumors that he had reduced his salary by three-quarters for this transfer.
If the fairy tale had ended here, Di Canio would have spent the rest of his career here peacefully. But that was Di Canio. How could he let his career pass peacefully? Lazio meant too much to Di Canio. Breathing a breath of oxygen there made him happy. This excitement was evident in Di Canio's diary on the day he re-signed with Lazio. "I kept telling myself that I had to stop crying. Lazio! I cried for it. I trembled for it. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat. It was so fast that I almost couldn't breathe. I cried. I cried like a child. I had lost the ability to speak. On the way to the stadium, I felt that my entire nervous system was about to collapse. "
He had snatched the penalty kick from Inzaghi when he was young and scored his first goal after joining Lazio for the second time. He mocked the Roma legend Francesco Totti and often expressed his brotherhood with the radical fan group Irriducibili in public.
He was willing to give his all for Lazio.
After the start of the second half, Li Ang smelled a hint of danger.
It was just an intuition. He felt that the Lazio players in the second half of the game were different from the first half.
Very soon, his intuition was confirmed.
*****
After the start of the second half of the game, Sporting de Gijón was closer to a goal.
It was Modric's sudden long shot that caused Peruzzi to lose his grip on the ball. Di Natale wanted to shoot again, but the football was kicked out of the end line by Giannicheda. Corner kick.
Albertini stood at the free throw spot and raised two fingers.
This was the second tactic.
The referee's whistle sounded. Albertini ran up and kicked out a beautiful arc.
Forward!
Ivanovic squeezed past Negro, who was defending him, and headed the ball back beautifully.
The football flew past the fingers of Lazio goalkeeper Peruzzi and into the net.
The Sporting de Gijón fans in the El Molinon Stadium let out a huge roar that echoed through the night sky.
"Ivanovic's goal! Sporting de Gijón has scored again!!! "
This was Ivanovic's first goal in Europe. The Serbian defender, who had just scored his first goal for Sporting de Gijón against Real Madrid, was ecstatic.
The Sporting de Gijón players also ran towards the excited Ivanovic, ready to celebrate the goal.
But at this moment, everyone heard the referee's urgent whistle. He stood in front of the goal and pointed at a player lying on the ground. It was Lazio's center back, Negro.
The referee signaled that the goal was not scored. The foul was committed first: Ivanovic fouled Negro first!
"The goal is invalid! The referee's whistle sounded … Ivanovic's goal has been ruled invalid. The referee believes that he was suspected of fouling Negro when he took off to compete for the header. This penalty … Well, something seems to have happened on the sidelines? "Following Dagestino's voice, the television camera cut to the sidelines, Sporting de Gijón's technical area.
When the goal was scored, Li Ang was drinking water. He waved the mineral water bottle and rushed out of the technical area to celebrate the goal. Then he heard the whistle and saw the referee signalling that the goal was not scored. This made Li Ang very angry. He directly threw the mineral water bottle on the ground, splashing water all over the ground. In his opinion, this was a goal that could not be better, but it was inexplicably blown out by the referee.

Li Ang's action of venting his anger attracted the "attention" of the fourth official.
"Mr. Li Ang, you'd better restrain your behavior. I don't want the referee to come over and give you a red card. I don't think you want that, do you? "The fourth official walked up to Li Ang and sternly reprimanded him.
At this time, Li Ang wanted to curse. Although the score was 3-0, his desire to score had not decreased at all. On the contrary, it was even stronger. He wanted the team to win a big victory, so he was so dissatisfied that the goal was not allowed by the referee!
Li Ang was furious. Just as he was about to rebuke the fourth official, Scottley came over to stop him.
"I'm sorry, I promise that this will not happen again …" Scottley separated Li Ang and the fourth official, and at the same time struggled to drag Li Ang back. He turned his head to apologize to the fourth official.
"Let me go, Jesús, this penalty …" Li Ang refused to give up, but Scottley covered his mouth. "Shut up, Li. The team is in a good situation now. Do you want to be sent to the stands at this time? Calm down! "
Scottley was a good person and rarely got angry. At least, Li Ang had worked with him for more than half a year, and he had never seen Scottley get angry. However, at this moment, Scottley was angry. Looking at the honest man's angry face, Li Ang was a little scared at this time. This also made him calm down. He scratched his head and said, "You're right, Jesús. I didn't control my temper. Thank you for reminding me. "
Scottley was right. The team was in a good situation, and there was no need to continue to attract the referee's attention at this time. Of course, if the score was tied at this time, and the team was disallowed a goal, Li Ang would definitely not let it go.

"Ivanovic looks a little depressed. The first European goal of his career disappeared just like that. Three days ago, he scored a wonderful header in the game against Real Madrid. His ability to score with headers is not bad. I believe that he is not too far away from his first European goal! " González seemed to like the young Serbian defender. He praised Ivanovic and at the same time gave his blessings.
Ivanovic walked back in annoyance. He felt that he had not committed a foul, and that Negro must have fallen on his own. Maybe that old guy deliberately faked it.
Bastard! Ivanovic clenched his fists. The defender also faked it!
The Sporting de Gijón players might have been affected by the goal that was disallowed by the referee. On the one hand, they had almost scored again, which made the whole team feel a little proud and relaxed. On the other hand, the goal was disallowed, and they were more or less resentful in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, Lazio's attack came.
Liverani sent the ball over the top.
Little Inzaghi stopped the ball with his chest and sent the football forward.
Di Canio went to chase the football. In front of him was the interceptor, Pepe.
It was not a good opportunity for Lazio to attack and score. However, the thirty-six-year-old Di Canio showed everyone his football talent. When he had just caught up with the football, he was less than a meter away from Pepe. The two sides were almost face to face. At this time, Di Canio did not look at the ball at his feet. Instead, he confidently and deftly poked!
The football passed through Pepe's legs, which were almost close to him … It passed through the crotch!
Then he flashed and bent over to pass by Pepe's side.
He caught up with the football and directly volleyed it!
No one could stop the ball from finally entering the goal because the place where Di Canio shot was only two meters away from the goal.
The football had already rolled into the net before Valencia fell to the ground to save it!
An attack that did not seem to be a very good opportunity had resulted in a goal. The thirty-six-year-old veteran, Di Canio, showed everyone his experience and football talent.
Di Canio rushed into the net and picked up the football. Then he rushed to the center circle. As he ran, he roared. His face was ferocious and looked terrifying … He was like a demon running out of hell!
PS: Fourth update. Tiredness came. After drinking a few bottles of Red Bull, he felt that he was almost immune to Red Bull.
Begging for a monthly ticket and a reward to refresh himself.
