The Santander players scored quickly and got off to a fantastic start.
The Santander players were still celebrating the goal excitedly.
In the face of the goal concede, Li Ang did not fly into a rage on the sidelines. He did not do anything. He had confidence in his players. The experience of playing against powerhouses like Real Madrid and Barcelona, especially winning, was a kind of experience for the Sporting de Gijón players. They had seen big scenes. They should be able to handle an opponent like Santander.
The captain, Hierro, clapped to boost the morale. He shouted, "It's no big deal! It's just a goal. We'll chase it back. "
Then he kicked the football directly to the midfield. Albertini reached out and grabbed the football. After putting the football in the center circle, he ran over to Ribéry, Javier Blanco, Di Natale, and Benzema one by one. "You guys have to run more. Use your running and speed to tear apart their defense. Shoot when you have the chance."

Gureiro's goal made the Santander players very excited. After the game resumed, Santander tried to continue to attack and expand the score. Their manager, Alcaraz, kept waving his arms on the sidelines to signal his players to strengthen the offense and try to expand the score.
This time, Santander continued to attack the middle. Their midfield core, Leguero, tried to dribble the ball through the middle. In the end, he was intercepted by Marcos and Albertini.
After intercepting the ball, Marcos immediately knocked the football to Albertini. The Italian veteran instigated the attack. Albertini's long pass was the sharpest weapon in Sporting de Gijón's counterattack. In today's game, Li Ang specifically said that the whole team had to surround Albertini's long pass and be ready to counterattack at any time.
The target of Albertini's long pass was Di Natale. The person defending him was Alvarez. Di Natale showed everyone his experience and intelligence. He did not stop the ball. Instead, he tapped his forehead lightly and sped up again, just in time to avoid Alvarez's defense.
Alvarez rushed too fiercely. He wanted to head the ball to break the siege, but he pounced on empty air. As a result, he was directly shaken.
Seeing that Alvarez was lost, Cassar came up in a panic to fill the position.

Commentator D 'Agostino used his unique machine gun to frantically spray bullets to show the entire goal in front of everyone's eyes. "It's an interception! Counterattack! Albertini made a long pass! Di Natale, he ran forward … The football was passed in front of him and Alvarez pounced on him! Oh! It had been passed! Beautiful … Di Natale passes to Ribéry! He cut inside … and passed to the center! Benzema … had made a mistake! Javier Blanc — he shoots — Goooool! "
"What a beautiful cooperation! The ball went in! Just three minutes later, Sporting de Gijón equalized the score! This was inconceivable! Just look at the expressions on the faces of the Santander players. They were still immersed in the joy of taking the lead! They never thought that they would concede the ball so quickly! Sporting de Gijón's quick counterattack is very sharp … "
Li Ang jumped up in excitement when he saw Javier Blanco shoot the ball into the net. These players did not let him down and equalized the score so quickly. Good job, good job.
"Javier Blanco! This lad was the hero of Sporting de Gijón's promotion to La Liga last season. He was a player promoted by Manager Li Ang from Team B. However, this season, because of the addition of Ribéry and Modric, Blanco's playing time was greatly affected. However, this lad is still so hardworking. As long as he has the chance to play, he will go all out in the game. This goal is a reward for his hard work. Of course, Blanco also has to thank Benzema. The Frenchman's missed ball was wonderful. With Benzema's cover, Blanco, who plugged in from the back, made it impossible for the opponent's defensive line to defend! He decisively chose to shoot. A smart choice. "

Being able to equalize the score so quickly greatly boosted Sporting de Gijón's morale. At the same time, it also greatly damaged Santander's morale.
Santander's manager, Alcaraz, was a little angry. He roared on the sidelines. He was extremely dissatisfied that his team had lost the lead so easily.
Li Ang glanced at Alcaraz. He felt that he could feel the panic of this' old friend ', which made him feel very interesting. In this game, he wanted to teach Alcaraz a good lesson.
Then, before the end of the first half, Sporting de Gijón finally took the lead.
This was a pass from the side into the penalty area by Ribéry. Benzema's header was saved by Santander's goalkeeper, Anot. Sporting de Gijón had a corner kick opportunity.
Albertini kicked the corner kick out, and Grosso, who was 191cm tall, overpowered Mora and scored a wonderful goal with a "lion's head".
“Goooool！”
“Goooool！”
"Two to one! Sporting de Gijón took the lead. They let Santander feel their strength. "
"Alcaraz looked angry and helpless. They got a fantastic start, but the score was reversed at the end of the first half."
*****
The cheers in the stands at El Molino Farm were thunderous. The team had not won for three rounds and they were eager to win. In today's game, the team's manager, Li Ang, returned. The fans were looking forward to the victory of the game. Even after Santander took the lead, they were not worried. Because as long as they saw Li Ang sitting in the technical area and looking so confident, it made the hearts of Sporting de Gijón's fans feel very secure.
Now, the team had taken the lead and was one step closer to victory. These players did it, which made them very excited and satisfied.
Sporting de Gijón almost increased the score again in the last attack of the first half. This was a direct pass from Albertini. After Ribéry's cross cut shot was blocked, Di Natale followed up with another shot. The football was cleared by Cazar on the goal line.
However, what Sporting de Gijón could not do in the first half, they did it not long after the start of the second half.
Six minutes into the second half, Sporting de Gijón made a beautiful attack. They once again broke through Santander's goal with a header.
*****
“Goooool！”
"Beautiful goal! Three to one! Sporting de Gijón is two goals ahead of Santander. Santander is no match for them at all. It's still the same Sporting de Gijón. However, after their manager, Li Ang, returned, the whole team seems to be different. They are the red and white team that no one dares to underestimate! "
Sporting de Gijón's goal was scored by the youngest player in the team, Karim Benzema. He was in the starting lineup in this game. Previously, Javier Blanco's goal was credited to his clever leakage of the ball. The corner kick that Grosso scored with a header also came from the corner kick created by Benzema's shot.
Now, the young Benzema finally scored a goal. For this French boy who was not even 17 years old, it was the best reward.
This big boy, who Li Ang brought from France to the Iberian Peninsula, was now a rising star in La Liga.
