In the second half, they switched sides again.
Benzema, who scored two goals in the first half of the game and forced the opponent to score an own goal, still performed extremely well.
In the 56th minute of the game, Sporting de Gijón played a beautiful pass and cut.
Modric passed the ball and Di Natale kicked with his heel. Benzema, who followed up, pretended to stop the ball, but he raised his leg and let the ball pass. Then, people saw Ribéry rush up and directly shot a low shot.
The football stuck to the turf and skimmed past countless legs in the penalty area, flying directly into the bottom left corner of the goal.
“Goooool！”
"Four to zero! Four to zero! Sporting de Gijón leads Numancia by four goals! Ribéry's goal, the French youth scored his eighth goal in the league this season! However, he has to thank his compatriot Benzema! "
While the commentators were praising Ribéry for his goal, they were also praising Benzema. Some of the commentators were even praising Benzema for his outstanding performance.
"Two goals caused the opponent's own goal, and now Ribéry's goal is also due to his contribution! Although this game is not over yet, I think we can say that it belongs to Benzema! Benzema's leak of the ball was very clever, which also confused the defenders of Numansia. Previously, Di Natale's heel pass was also beautiful, and Ribéry's shot at the goal put a perfect end to this attack. "
Ribéry, who scored the goal, was also very excited and intimately nibbled on Benzema's forehead. Benzema lifted his jersey to wipe it in disgust, which attracted the cheers of the fans at the scene.
With a big lead, El Molinon was very happy.
*****
Li Ang was surprised. The skill [Intermediate Sharpshooter] was to increase the scoring rate. However, looking at Benzema's performance today, it could be said that he had been enlightened and was quite intelligent. The leak this time could be seen.
Was it the effect of this skill? Or was it because Benzema's natural talent was very high and his foundation radiated spiritual energy?!
Li Ang had no time to think about this for the time being. In short, this kid's performance today was perfect, which was a good thing!
In Numancia's technical area, the Numancia manager, Lopez, was already a little numb. This goal concede made Numancia completely desperate.
With a huge lead, Li Ang began to make substitutions.
In the 60th minute of the match, he replaced Di Natale with his veteran, Chiesa.
With the overall situation set in stone, Di Natale was allowed to leave the field to rest. At the same time, Di Natale was given more chances to play, hoping to improve the condition of the Italian veteran as much as possible. When the UEFA Europa League knockout stage was about to start, Li Ang needed to adjust the condition of more players in the team. Sporting de Gijón, who was about to face three competitions, needed the contribution of the entire team!
*****
Sporting de Gijón, who were leading by a large margin, relaxed a little. Five minutes later, Numancia pulled a goal back.
The goal was scored by their striker, Miguel. After he received Merino's pass, he looked like he was going to do a long shot. Suddenly, he diverted the football to the side. Dorado did not immediately press Juan Papa, who received the ball, and gave the opponent a chance to comfortably raise his leg to pass. Miguel got rid of Lami and scored with a header.
Li Ang was furious on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with the team's problems in the defensive process. Dorado, who had recovered from his injury, should bear a lot of responsibility for this goal concede. Lami also seemed a little clumsy and could not keep up with Miguel.
This was Lami's first game on behalf of Sporting de Gijón's first team. Whether it was game experience, tacit understanding with his teammates, or his own strength, he needed to improve. Therefore, Li Ang was not so angry with Lami. What he was dissatisfied with was Dorado's laziness in the defense.
"It's Dorado's first game after recovering from his injury. His condition is obviously not good. Manager Li Ang will not be satisfied with his performance," said the commentator, Dagestino.
"One to four, Numancia pulled a goal back," said González. "Will a goal in the 65th minute of the game have any impact on the result of the game?"
Li Ang shouted at the substitutes' bench. Then, people saw Juan Mata get up and get ready to warm up.
The Sporting de Gijón fans in the stands saw the movement on the substitutes' bench and cheered loudly.
As the team's manager, Li Ang's direct player, and also promoted from the reserve team to the first team, he was a major contributor to the team's promotion last season and the Copa del Rey championship. Before his injury this season, he was also Sporting de Gijón's offensive weapon. Sporting de Gijón's fans were very fond of Little Mata.
After more than two months, the fans were a little excited to see that Mata was about to return from his injury.
*****
Just when everyone's attention was on Little Mata on the sidelines, Benzema broke out again.
Benzema received the ball from Grosso in the front field.
Benzema was full of confidence in the face of Numancia's defense. The seventeen-year-old kid was full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit. He was eager to score. He had already scored twice and was only one goal away from a hat-trick. He was eager to score another goal.
Benzema's upper body swayed to the left, and Pignol subconsciously moved with it. At the same time, Benzema pushed the ball to the right. It looked like he was going to break through!
Pignol was experienced. He struggled to change his center of gravity and turned back to pounce on Benzema.
Benzema saw Pignol rushing over and immediately spiked the ball to avoid Pignol's right leg. Then, he started and dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
"Benzema! He's broken through! "
The penalty area was the last fortress in front of the goal for all teams. It was the last line of defense!
Here, as long as one point was breached, it would implicate the whole defensive line.
Pignol's point was breached, and the Numancia team's defensive line had to make a chain reaction. Okeya went to fill Pignol's position, while Graff went to fill Okeya's position in a panic. Tarantino had to temporarily play as the center back, and Juan Palmer was also brought over.
*****
Okeya and Juan Palmer rushed up from two different directions to defend against Benzema. Before the encirclement closed in, Benzema lifted his leg and shot!
"Oh oh oh — Benzema — Goooool!" Gihon's local commentator roared.
Benzema chose a powerful low shot. The football stuck close to the turf and flew through the crowd. When the Numancia goalkeeper Juan Palmer, whose line of sight was blocked by those people, saw the football appear in his field of vision, it was already too late to make a save. He could only stand there and watch the football fly past his feet and into the goal behind him. Then, the home fans behind him burst into loud cheers!
"Benzema —!!!" Commentator Dagestino's voice was full of disbelief.
Li Ang stood up from his seat. His face was also full of disbelief!
This seventeen-year-old kid actually completed a shot in the middle of the crowd, and this shot even scored!
This kid, in today's game, created an own goal and participated in a goal. Now, counting this goal, it's the third … hat-trick?!
This is probably going to create a record for the youngest player to score a hat-trick in La Liga history!
It's really scary!
*****
El Molinon was drowned out by the enthusiastic cheers.
In the midst of the huge cheers, Benzema excitedly rushed to the sidelines. Then, people saw Carlos take something out of his arms and hand it over.
Immediately after, Benzema ran to the camera in the corner flag area, picked up the thing and put it on his head.
It was a hat!
In modern football, a player who scored three goals in a game was called a "hat-trick." In fact, the earliest hat-trick did not come from football, but from cricket, which was widely popular in Britain in the 1870s. Since the inception of cricket, fans who entered the cricket stadium to watch the game strictly followed a rule: Once they stepped into the stadium, they had to take off their hats. This meant respect for all the players, referees, and spectators on the field. Generally speaking, if a bowler consecutively threw three good shots and eliminated three opposing players, it was quite a miraculous thing. When the cricket club encountered such a situation, they would award a hat to the bowler as a symbol of supreme honor. In short, the original meaning of a "hat-trick" was for a cricketer to score three goals in a row and receive a hat as an encouragement. This term did not appear in print until the 1970s. Later, it was gradually introduced into the field of football. If a player scored three goals in a game, it would be considered a hat-trick!
A hat-trick wearing a hat!
The young Benzema had been prepared for this.
*****
The cheers of the entire stadium reached its peak in an instant. Everyone was cheering for this daring kid.
"Well done, Karim!" Karim! "Countless people roared.
Li Ang was first stunned on the sidelines, then he laughed out loud.
Not only because this kid's idea was interesting, but also because:
The color of the hat on Benzema's head was … green!
This was the idea of a seventeen-year-old hot-blooded youth pursuing his dream to celebrate his goal. Li Ang knew that he should not laugh, it was slightly disrespectful, but he could not help it.
Fortunately, the others did not know what he was laughing about. They only thought that he was excited about the outstanding performance of his proud disciple.
Li Ang laughed and clapped. Well done, French kid. I said you would become a great archer.
