The El Molinon Stadium was boiling. The home team easily led Atlético Madrid 3-0, which made their fans proud.
The Atlético Madrid fans in the visiting fans' stands looked at the scene with a complicated expression. They did not expect that their team would be in such a sorry state in this stadium against this newly promoted team.
Sporting de Gijón fans were happy, but no one provoked the disappointed Atlético Madrid fans, which maintained the "harmony" between the two teams before the game.
The camera gave Atlético Madrid's number one star player, Fernando Torres, a close-up. Atlético Madrid was in such a disadvantageous situation that someone needed to stand up. Who would this person be? The camera gave Torres the answer.
Torres in 2005 was one of the best strikers on the planet. As the golden boy of Atlético Madrid who was pursued by countless powerhouses, his strength was extraordinary.
Atlético Madrid fans also began to call Torres' name in the stands. Obviously, they were eager for the team's captain, their hero, to stand up at this time.
"The visiting fans are calling for Torres." The commentator, González, said, "Torres's performance in today's game is very average. He has not been able to really threaten Sporting de Gijón's goal."
*****
In the 56th minute of the game, Atlético Madrid's newly imported Danish star player, Glönxiaer, found it difficult to continue to advance after receiving a pass from his teammates in the front field. He glanced in the direction of the goal and suddenly made a long shot. The long shot was of good quality and showed his value. Fortunately, Sporting de Gijón's goalkeeper, Valencia, was focused and successfully saved the football.
Atlético Madrid got a corner kick opportunity.
"A corner kick opportunity! In a situation where there are few opportunities in a mobile game, a set piece is an opportunity that Atlético Madrid needs to try their best to seize. "
The camera gave Torres a close-up again.
The young Atlético Madrid's golden boy had a dignified expression.
Glönxiaer's corner kick was driven into the penalty area. Torres successfully squeezed Pepe, who was defending him, and successfully swung his head to the goal. Valencia could not save in time and the ball went in.
“Goooool！”
"1-3! Atlético Madrid gets a goal back! "
"Torres, he stood up at the crucial moment!"
Torres looked very excited after the goal. He roared, roared, rushed into the goal net, fished the football out, and ran toward the center circle with the football. The team was still two goals behind. He needed to hurry.
*****
Ferrando applauded on the sidelines. The goal made him excited. He saw a glimmer of hope, the hope of turning the tables.
"Well done!" In the box, Little Hill waved his fists excitedly. Torres's goal made his face look much better. This also gave him hope that the team could make a comeback. The team had Torres, a super striker, and everything was possible.
Li Ang clicked his tongue. He still let Torres score. This kid is really very good now. Li Ang saw it clearly. Torres first used his running to get rid of Vermaelen, and then faced Pepe, who came over to cover, he still succeeded in scoring with a header.
His judgment of where the football would land, his running position, his ability to compete, and his ability to jump were all outstanding.
However, that was all.
Atlético Madrid did not do much in sports. The goal came from a set piece and came from Torres's personal ability. However, it was difficult for Atlético Madrid to get such a set piece opportunity. That was because Sporting de Gijón still had possession of the ball.
He would not let his team give Atlético Madrid more set piece opportunities.
Of course, the most important reason was that Li Ang had confidence in his team.
In the face of the loss of the ball, Li Ang did not fly into a rage on the sidelines. He did not do anything. With a veteran like Albertini on the field, there were some things he did not have to worry about.
And Albertini did not let Li Ang down.
Captain Albertini glanced at Torres, who was holding the football and rushing to the center circle. Then he clapped vigorously to boost the morale.
"It's no big deal! We're still two goals ahead. Let's give them one back! "Albertini shouted.
Everyone, who was more or less affected by the loss of a goal, came back to their senses after hearing Albertini's words. Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? We're still leading by two goals. Besides, we'll just score another goal!
*****
Three minutes later, Sporting de Gijón's offense advanced to the front field.
Modric had just received Carlos's pass when he was pushed to the ground by Aguilera.
The referee's whistle sounded and Atlético Madrid committed a foul.
Sporting de Gijón got a set piece in a good position in the front field.
Albertini was Sporting de Gijón's first set piece penalty taker. He stood in front of the football.
"Albertini is standing in front of the ball. He has scored directly from two set pieces this season. The Italian veteran's falling ball has been famous for a long time. This is a test for Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper, Franco," Dagestino said.
"Atlético Madrid used the set piece to recover a goal. Now it's Gijon's set piece opportunity," González said with a smile.
In front of Albertini was a five-man wall formed by Atlético Madrid. Albertini stood behind the football. He was alone. No one gave him cover for a fake shot or a real run. Because there was no need to cover, everyone knew that Albertini would be the one to take the penalty.
The referee saw that the human wall was in place. The distance was also in line with the requirements, so he stepped back and blew the whistle in his mouth.
Albertini ran up and raised his right foot to shoot!
The football flew!
The football crossed Atlético Madrid's human wall, then fell and accurately drilled into the goal!
A perfect parabola!
Albertini's famous weapon: the falling ball!
Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper, Franco, did not react to this goal!
*****
“Goooool！”
"Gool – Demetrio Albertini! The ball is in! A beautiful falling ball! A beautiful parabola! Franco did not react at all! The Italian veteran is still sharp! This was the third time he had scored from a set piece this season! What a terrifying scoring rate! "
"Four to one! Four to one! Only three minutes after Atlético Madrid pulled a goal back, Sporting de Gijón widened the gap to three goals again! "
The El Molinón Stadium made a loud bang, like a clap of thunder. For the Italian veteran, the team's vice-captain, Sporting de Gijón's fans loved him very much, and Albertini's football talent and professionalism were worthy of their love and respect.
On the sidelines, Li Ang was applauding and cheering for the goal. He watched the live broadcast of the Serie A league on CCTV Sports Channel all the way and had a natural fondness for Serie A star players like Albertini. It was because of this special feeling that at this moment, as a manager, it was quite a wonderful feeling to watch his own player, a star player that he could only see on TV in the past, score a goal.
After the goal, Albertini roared, applauded, and shouted at his teammates, "That's it, just score! Do you see?! "
His teammates' response was to rush over and surround their captain like a tidal wave, shouting, yelling, and cheering.
Li Ang was very satisfied on the sidelines. Albertini was not a player who liked to shout to boost morale. However, the team's captain, Hierro, was suspended today. Albertini was the captain, and he decisively took on the responsibility of the captain! This was the responsibility of a veteran, a leader player!
Demetrio, thank you, you did a good job!
Li Ang had a smile on his face. Come on, old man. I told you that you would like it here in Gihon, didn't I?!
A falling leaf!
Gently falling!
Instant Kill!
Four to one!
The game was set!
