"The opponent has an obvious loophole. What are we going to do?" Li Ang asked his players.
"Poke a big hole in that loophole!" Ribéry shouted.
Li Ang almost laughed out loud. That answer was simply amazing.
Paven was Real Madrid's loophole in his eyes.
That's right, you didn't read it wrong. It was Paven.
Although Paven had not yet played, Li Ang made a prediction about Luxemburgo's substitutions in the second half after Bravo was sent off with a red card. He believed that Luxemburgo would withdraw a midfielder and replace him with Paven. Paven would play as the center back and Helguera would play as the right back.
Why was Li Ang so sure that Luxemburgo would make such an adjustment?
On one hand, he had done targeted research on Luxemburgo. On the other hand, Real Madrid really had no one available.
Compared to the luxurious configuration at the offensive end, Real Madrid's rear defensive line could really be said to be stretched. Looking at Real Madrid's substitutes' bench, only Paven could be used. Even the word "could be used" needed to be put in quotation marks.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that Luxemburgo would not make any substitutions and only adjust the formation. For example, playing three defenders.
In that case, Li Ang was even more happy to see it happen.
"If Real Madrid changes to Paven, attack this point. If they don't change, continue to attack Helguera's side."
In Li Ang's eyes, both Paven and Helguera were the hidden loopholes in Real Madrid's defensive line. The only difference was which one was worse.
*****
Before the start of the second half, Real Madrid requested a substitution.
Seeing Paven standing on the sidelines, Li Ang's lips curled into a smile. He had guessed right.
Both Scotteri and Banderas looked at Li Ang in surprise and admiration. There was no doubt that all of Luxemburgo's movements were under their control.
On the other hand, the Sporting Gihon players on the field saw that Real Madrid had indeed made a substitution, and it was really Paven who had replaced a midfielder. Apart from being shocked, their confidence was also bursting. The manager's meticulous planning gave them a lot of confidence.
Paven came on as a substitute and was replaced by Beckham.
Seeing that it was Beckham who had been substituted, Li Ang's smile widened.
If it were him, he would replace Solari and choose to keep Beckham. After all, the Englishman's set piece could be a life-saving way to score at a crucial moment. As for Solari, his performance today could only be said to be very average.
Of course, with Li Ang's personality, the biggest possibility was that he would choose to play with three defenders and fight with his life on the line.
In comparison, Luxemburgo's substitution was a little conservative when they were two goals behind.
Li Ang heaved a sigh of relief when Beckham was replaced. He was still quite wary of Beckham's Full Moon Scimitar.

“Goooool！”
"Karim Benzema! Another goal! The second half had only been going on for nine minutes. Sporting de Gijón scored their fourth goal of the match! This is a huge score advantage that no one expected! " The tone of the commentator, Dagestino, could not hide the surprise in his voice. Before the match, the media was generally optimistic about Real Madrid. Although both teams had players who were injured, Sporting de Gijón was missing Albertini and Diego Milito. Considering the depth of the bench of both teams, Sporting de Gijón's strength was much weaker than Real Madrid's. Real Madrid was determined to take revenge and had a high chance of winning. However, the current score gave everyone a shock.
"Sporting de Gijón's start to the second half was just as perfect as the first. Benzema! This young Frenchman received Mata's pass and scored with a header. Paven couldn't keep up with Benzema at all! "González described the entire scoring process. His words were considered polite. In fact, from his point of view, Paven had not entered the match state at all after entering the field. On the other hand, Sporting Gihon seemed to have gone crazy, attacking Paven's defensive zone violently. This made Paven look battered and exhausted. It could even be said that he was at a loss. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before he conceded this goal.
"Four to one! Sporting de Gijón leads Real Madrid by three goals. "
"The whole El Molinon stadium is boiling like an active volcano."
Sporting de Gijón's fans were singing and dancing. In fact, even they did not expect the second half to start so smoothly and the team to expand their lead so quickly.
Benzema, who scored the goal, was very excited. He ran to the side of the stands and pointed to the name on the back of his jersey. The fans immediately responded by shouting the Frenchman's surname.
His teammates were as excited as he was. They even rushed to the side of the field to celebrate. This kind of celebration was usually done after the end of a game and after a win. They could not wait to do it now.
Of course, the Real Madrid stars who witnessed all this had ugly expressions on their faces. This was tantamount to an insult for the proud Real Madrid.
Li Ang saw his players celebrate so wantonly and smiled without saying anything. If they were leading by one goal, he might have been worried that this would anger Real Madrid and bring about a bad result. However, now it was four to one. They were leading by three goals! A three-goal lead was enough to make him feel at ease. He did not believe that Real Madrid could reverse the game with a three-goal deficit. Moreover, Real Madrid was now at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Unless God helped, Sporting de Gijón would win this game.
There was another reason that made Li Ang feel at ease. Real Madrid currently on the field lacked a true leader. Raúl was absent and Guti was the captain. The "Blonde Wolf King" did not lack fighting spirit and bravery, but his mind was often not calm enough. He was not the person who could lead the team to a bloody path in adversity. On the contrary, if Guti was overheated, for Real Madrid, it would be a bomb that would accelerate Real Madrid's collapse.
*****
The director was very interesting. The camera also found the rostrum at the right time and aimed at Real Madrid's president, Florentino. The Real Madrid president, who came to watch the away game, did not look good …
This game was the highlight of the La Liga season. It was broadcasted live in many countries and regions around the world. It could be said that it was in front of the whole world. His Galácticos was humiliated by Li Ang's team scoring four goals in a row. It was impossible for anyone to laugh. The old grudge between Real Madrid and Li Ang was now known to the whole world. Being humiliated by Li Ang's team was definitely the most embarrassing and humiliating thing for Real Madrid.
As a matter of fact, Florentino was cursing Luxemburgo's ancestors in his mind. If Real Madrid lost this game, not only would they not be able to avenge last season's Copa del Rey title, but they would also be defeated by Sporting de Gijón this season. This was a disgrace to the proud Galácticos. It could also be said that it was a slap to Florentino's face.
Moreover, the thought of Real Madrid's gap between Sporting de Gijón and Real Madrid in the standings made Florentino feel extremely miserable.
On the field, Real Madrid's captain, Guti, gathered the players together.
"This is a disgrace!"
"We are behind this team that we look down on by a large margin!"
"We have lost all the dignity of Real Madrid!"
"Now is the time to fight! We have to fight like men! "
Guti's words still touched Real Madrid's star players. As the top star players on the planet, they wore Real Madrid's uniform. They were proud in their hearts. For the sake of dignity and face, they had to take action under such circumstances.
Li Ang noticed the scene of Guti gathering the Real Madrid players to shout and encourage them. He frowned slightly.
Then he walked to the sidelines and told his players to focus. They should not be distracted just because they were leading by a large margin. They should be careful of Real Madrid's counterattack.
Three minutes later, Li Ang realized that he did not have to worry about anything anymore.
*****
Mata dribbled the ball. He faced Guti's defense and passed through his opponent's crotch beautifully.
Guti felt greatly humiliated when his goal was penetrated. The Real Madrid captain flew into a rage and directly tackled him from behind.
The referee's whistle sounded and showed a yellow card to Guti. This was his second yellow card of the day: two yellows turned into one red.
Li Ang cursed on the sidelines. He was worried that Benzema would be injured by the tackle. Fortunately, the team doctor's examination later found that Benzema's injury was not serious. However, to be on the safe side, Li Ang still chose to make a substitution. He replaced Benzema with the veteran, Chiesa.
When the Frenchman left the field, he received the courtesy of the entire game cheering his name.
The camera gave a close-up of Guti's back as he walked toward the players' corridor without looking back.
The fighting spirit of the Real Madrid players, who had just been encouraged by his words, disappeared with this man's irrational behavior.
"Real Madrid is done for." Although there was still half an hour before the end of the game, Dagestino made this conclusion in advance.
Li Ang glanced at Guti's back as he was about to disappear into the players' corridor and sighed slightly. This Guti really did not let him down.
*****
Benzema was replaced and Chiesa came on as a substitute.
Neither Di Natale nor Chiesa was a center forward. The technical characteristics of the two players were even somewhat similar. Such a combination often did not work very well.
However, when two Real Madrid players were sent off, the lineup was in tatters, and the players' fighting spirit was flagging, the flexibility of Di Natale and Chiesa created sparks instead.
In the 76th minute of the game, Di Natale and Chiesa's continuous combination of hitting the wall and breaking through Real Madrid's defense.
The chemistry between the two Italian players bloomed at this moment.
In the penalty area, Chiesa sent out a diagonal pass in the face of the panicked Paven. Di Natale stopped the football and dunked to avoid Helguera's scramble. Then, he shot a low shot.
After the football was pounced on by Casillas, Mata followed up with a slide tackle to complete the rebound.
Five to one!
With a big lead, Li Ang began to deploy his troops.
Marcos came on as a substitute and replaced Mata, who was already somewhat unable to run. The young man worked very hard today. The goal just now was an opportunity that he fought for when he was almost exhausted.
Marcos and Carlos played as the two defensive midfielders, and Modric moved to the position of the right midfielder. Real Madrid's limited few attacks were strangled by Marcos and Carlos.
*****
In the 83rd minute of the game, Gravesen suddenly shot a long shot, but it caught Sporting de Gijón off guard. Valencia could not save in time and the football went into the net.
Two to five!
Real Madrid pulled a goal back.
This goal seemed to give Luxemburgo some hope. Although he also knew that it was almost impossible to make a comeback, if the team could continue to score goals and narrow the score gap as much as possible, they would lose very little in the end. For example, if they only lost by one goal, it would appear more tragic and stirring. It would look better and the pressure on him and the blame he received would also be lighter.
However, just two minutes later, Luxemburgo despaired.
Sporting de Gijón was given a set piece in the front field. Recently, Modric had been taking direct free kicks when Albertini was not on the field.
In the face of Real Madrid's human wall, in the face of Casillas, the Croatian young man took a high-quality curveball. The football went over the human wall, passed between Casillas' hands, and went straight into the net.
*****
“Goooool！”
"The ball went in —!" The Gijón commentator's voice was so excited that it was even a little distorted. "Modric scored against Real Madrid in both home and away games! He sealed the victory for Sporting de Gijón!! "
Luxemburgo, who stood on the sidelines, was like a statue with a bleak face.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines and raised his arms to announce his victory.
He raised a palm with his left hand and raised a finger with his right hand to signify the six goals his team had scored today.
He was so unscrupulous and rampant that he slapped the century-old powerhouse in the face …
In this game, the tragedy of six goals, the century-old powerhouse was humiliated, and the hatred between the two sides was getting deeper and deeper.
