“Goooool！”
"Three-nil! Sporting de Gijón almost locked the victory in the safe. "
At this time, the live replay of the game was also available. Through the slow-motion camera, it could be seen that Hierro's tackle did not touch Saavi, but the other side screamed and fell to the ground. This was an unmistakable act of diving. The referee did not give Saavi a yellow card, which was already merciful.
"I think it's necessary to warn this young man. Diving is not a good habit. If he puts his attention on this kind of thing instead of working hard on his football skills … "Dagstino said 'earnestly'.
The slow-motion replay that followed showed that Sporting de Gijón's counterattack was slower by half a body's length when Modric passed the ball. However, Mata plugged in quickly. When he received the football, he was already behind all the defenders, so it gave people the illusion that he was offside.
"There's no penalty! The Parma player dived! There's no offside, there's no problem with the goal, "González announced in a serious tone to declare Sporting de Gijón's innocence.

The Tardini Stadium was deafening with boos.
It could be seen in the broadcast that some Parma fans had already begun to leave the stadium early. It was obvious that the Parma fans could not accept the current score of 0-3, which made them disheartened.
"Is Parma really that weak?" Why is it so difficult for us to play? " Moratti asked the two people next to him. Oriari and Blanca were a little embarrassed and did not respond immediately.
It seemed that Moratti did not want to get an answer. He was just complaining and venting the resentment in his heart.
This season, Inter Milan played against Parma in two rounds of the Serie A League. In the fourth round of the league, they played Parma to a score of 2-2 at home. Then, two months ago, in the 23rd round of the league, Inter Milan played Parma to a score of 2-2 at the Tardini Stadium again. In fact, if it were not for Parma's bad luck that a last-minute shot was blocked by a pillar, Inter Milan might have lost the away game.
Everything was afraid of comparison. Thinking about how Inter Milan and Parma played so hard, and now seeing Li Ang's Sporting de Gijón easily leading Parma by a score of 3-0 at the Tardini Stadium, Moratti's dissatisfaction grew.
"Roberto also admitted that he made a mistake." Oriari defended Inter Milan's manager, Roberto Mancini. Oriari did not have a definite idea about whether to change the manager at the end of the season, but he strongly opposed changing the manager midway through the season. He had to find a way to appease Moratti and avoid the possibility of changing the manager midway through the season. His worries were not without reason. If Moratti was really dissatisfied with Mancini to a certain extent, it was possible that he would choose to change the manager midway through the season.
Moratti snorted, his face gloomy. He knew that Oriari was talking about how after Inter Milan was forced to a 2-2 draw with Parma, Mancini admitted that his coaching thinking was wrong after the game and apologized to the fans. Regardless, Mancini later said that Inter Milan was ready to embrace a bright future …
A bright future, hmph.
That was how it was sometimes. When you were dissatisfied with someone, you would be unhappy no matter how you looked at them. Just a month ago, when Moratti was asked about Inter Milan's too many draws, he said with a little humor that Inter Milan was the team with the least losses in the five major European leagues this season. They had only lost one game in the entire season, and that was the Milan derby.
*****
"Master X," Blanca suddenly turned on his mocking mode. The league had already gone through 29 rounds, and Inter Milan actually had 17 draws. Mancini was also ridiculed by the Italian media as "Master X" (The Master of Draws).
In the Inter Milan team, Mancini's relationship with the transfer manager, Blanca, was not good. This was a well-known secret. In terms of recruitment, Mancini and Blanca had a lot of conflicts. However, Blanca was exactly the kind of person that Moratti needed the most. He was thrifty, shrewd, and somewhat stingy. Of course, this was also because Mancini's coaching results were not good enough, and he was not strong enough. Otherwise, if Inter Milan had a chance to win the league title and the Champions League, with Moratti's true love for the team, even if he really did not have enough money, he would have done everything he could to satisfy Mancini's recruitment request.
In short, results determined everything.
In a situation where the league title was hopeless and the Champions League was almost a foregone conclusion, watching the young Sporting de Gijón led by Li Ang effortlessly crush Parma, who had once made Inter Milan very uncomfortable, like cutting vegetables, ignited the fuse that ignited Moratti's anger inadvertently.
Oriali glared at Blanca, meaning to tell him not to kick up a fuss at this time. If Moratti really changed the manager before the league ended, Inter Milan's situation would only be worse. Blanca smiled a little strangely.

Sporting de Gijón's third goal was a huge blow to Parma.
After the start of the second half, Parma's barely organized offense was stunned by Sporting de Gijón's successful counterattack.
With three goals in hand, Sporting de Gijón played more confidently and skillfully. On the other hand, Parma, whose morale was relatively low, found it more and more difficult to threaten Sporting de Gijón's goal.
The most direct manifestation of this was the fact that Parma's offensive weapon, their striker Gilardino, was almost unable to get a chance to raise his foot in the penalty area. He appeared isolated and helpless in front of them. Bresciano did not have his usual incisive assists on the left wing today. He appeared to be impatient. Blindly raising his foot for a long shot became his first choice today. Simplicio was completely frozen by Carlos. The substitute, young player Philippe Saoui, was silent except for that one attempt to break through and try to dive to get a penalty kick.
As a result, Gilardino could not get the ball in front and had to leave the penalty area to come back to receive and ask for the ball.
But this way, Gilardino, who was far away from Sporting de Gijón's goal, was less of a threat to Sporting de Gijón's goal. Sporting de Gijón's players found it easier to defend.
"Three nil. We won half of the game. Gilardino can't get any help, so we won the other half." Li Ang said to his assistant managers, Banderas and Scottley, with a smile. The two nodded in agreement.
*****
Parma's manager, Camigliani, was obviously impatient. He tried to change things by constantly substituting players.
In the twentieth minute of the second half, Bresciano, who had been impatient throughout the game, was substituted. Although he did not make any outstanding contributions to the team's offense in these seventy minutes. He was still applauded and thanked by the Parma fans when he left the field.
Why? It was because Bresciano's several long shots today. Although there was no threat, the Australian worked very hard today. He wanted to score and help the team. His attitude was still more positive. He was one of the few bright spots in the Parma team.
Bresciano walked off the field with the applause and encouragement of the Parma fans. He was very dissatisfied with his performance. Camigliani stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. To comfort him. However, the latter did not respond. He was unhappy about being substituted. Of course, he did not respond unkindly. He walked to the substitutes' bench without a word.
Camigliani was not in the mood to think about Bresciano's mood. He anxiously glanced at the field, hoping that his substitute, Morfeo, would be of help to the team. Then he turned his head to look at Sporting de Gijón's technical area. He saw Li Ang sitting in the technical area with his legs crossed. He looked very comfortable.
*****
Morfeo's physical fitness was very average. His dribbling was also very average. However, his pass was very thoughtful and clever. He also had a very special way of moving. He liked to run horizontally in front of the penalty area.
He was a more intelligent player. He was a pure technical attacking midfielder. His biggest problem was that his physical confrontation was weak.
Therefore, Li Ang immediately responded to Parma's substitution. He replaced Mata, who could not run, with Marcos. Marcos appeared in the defensive midfielder position, which freed Carlos. The latter's range of movement was larger. The most direct effect was that Morfeo was completely frozen. In the face of Carlos's aggressive defense, Morfeo was at a loss. He "disappeared" on the field.
Twenty minutes later, when the whistle signalling the end of the match sounded, Camigiani, with a bitter expression, turned his head to look at the visiting team's technical area. The Chinese man was sitting there with his legs crossed, looking so content … Then, he slowly stood up, shook his right arm, and applauded, cheering for the victory.
Camigliani looked extremely disappointed and lonely. This was his first game after taking over Parma. He had prepared very carefully for this game. However, the result was not good. His team lost.
He had lost completely and utterly.
Sporting de Gijón won cleanly.
Three to zero!
Sporting de Gijón defeated Parma with three goals in the away game!
Whether it was the scene or the result, whether it was the starting lineup, the tactical arrangement, the on-the-spot command, or the substitutions, it was a complete victory in the true sense of the word.
On April 7, 2005, at the Tardini Stadium, Li Ang led the La Liga dark horse team that he had built. He let the Italians, who were basking in the glory of the "mini World Cup," witness his extraordinary coaching ability for the first time.
The camera panned to the stands. It was the backs of the three giants of Inter Milan as they quietly left.
