The Spanish media was hyping the news that Barcelona had offered a bounty for Santander's sniper of Sporting de Gijón.
As an important party involved, the Santander goalkeeper, Avat, quickly stepped forward to put out the fire. "During training this morning, I received a call from the president, Santiago Diaz. He said that he was worried about what the media was saying. I had no idea what he was talking about at the time. After reading AS, I was disappointed and angry because I didn't say that. Goal Illustrated's report misinterpreted my wife's meaning. I don't know how AS translated it. We are fighting to avoid relegation. I won't play for other clubs … "
"Did Barcelona offer a sniper prize for Santander? The relevant Spanish departments are paying close attention. According to AS, the relevant departments are paying close attention to the recent large cash flows of teams related to championship and relegation, to find out if there are any teams offering a sniper prize in order to avoid relegation or championship. "
Li Ang turned off the television and looked at his players. "What do you think about this matter?"
Li Ang guessed that Barcelona might not have offered a prize to stimulate Santander. After all, it was not the first time Barcelona had done this. He did not think much of it. Moreover, he felt that it was not a bad thing and could be used.
The players expressed their opinions.
Some said that Barcelona was despicable.
Some said that Santander was despicable.
*****
At this time, Li Ang saw that the team captain, Fernando Hierro, seemed to have something to say.
"Fernando, you say it."
"It's not important to us. What we have to do is to have a strong determination and win the game!" Hierro said firmly.
In fact, Hierro was angry. In the 1990s, Barcelona had offered a bounty twice. Tenerife had blocked Real Madrid twice, causing Real Madrid to fall in front of the league champions twice. This made the former Real Madrid captain feel a lifelong hatred. Now, Barcelona was using the same trick again. Hierro was angry with both new and old hatred. He swore that this time, he would not let Barcelona succeed.
"That's right!" Li Ang nodded in appreciation. "Barcelona used the prize money to stimulate Santander. What does this mean? It means that they are afraid. They are afraid of us. They have instinctively thought that they are getting further and further away from the league title because their fate is no longer in their hands. As long as we win, no one can stop us from lifting the championship trophy!"
Li Ang's sonorous and forceful words were like war drums beating on everyone's hearts.
Yes, the coach and captain were right. No matter what Barcelona did, as long as they did their best and continued to win, nothing could stop them from taking big steps towards the league title.
"For Santander's match, I'll be taking turns," Li Ang continued.
No one felt that it was strange. The UEFA Europa League final against Sporting Lisbon was next week. An appropriate rotation was necessary for this game.
"However, my request will not be reduced in the slightest, and that is to win!"
"Win the match against Santander! Score! Score as many goals as you can. If possible, I hope it's a big victory! "
"Use your legs, use a big victory to tell everyone, tell Barcelona, that no matter what they do, it's useless! The league title is ours! "Li Ang raised his arm and said loudly.
The atmosphere in the entire locker room was enthusiastic. Everyone's eyes were shining!
Just as the coach had said, use a big victory to crush the Santander players, and use a hearty victory to fight back against Barcelona!
They were the champions!
*****
Because they were going to Lisbon to play in the UEFA Europa League final next week, the league match between Sporting de Gijón and Santander was the earliest match in the 36th round of the La Liga.
Santander, Sardines Man Stadium.
The game had already started and it had been going on for ten minutes.
As soon as the match started, Sporting Gijon launched a barrage of attacks at Sporting Santander's goal.
"Juan Carlos!" The commentator roared.
Sporting de Gijón's midfield successfully intercepted the ball again. Carlos did not choose to pass the ball. He looked in front and decided to dribble the ball forward.
Santander's player, Naftali, came up to defend. Carlos did not slow down. He rushed up fearlessly.
The two collided and the football bounced out. Naftali fell to the ground. Juan Carlos looked like he was going to dive and fall to the ground.
At this time, his strong body came into play again. He used his hands and feet to get up from the ground in an instant!
This was Carlos's breakthrough. His footwork was average and even a little rough. However, he had a brave and ruthless aura. A timid player would have been scared by this kid's toughness.
"Did Carlos foul?"
"No, it was a reasonable collision!"
The referee did not say anything. He did not stop the game. He obviously recognized the reasonable collision.
*****
Santander's defender, Alvarez, came up again.
Carlos, who had just gotten up, collided with Alvarez again.
It was a violent collision.
The referee was ready to blow the whistle for Alvarez's foul. However, he saw Carlos stagger and dribble the ball over!
"This is Carlos's breakthrough!" Dagstino shouted excitedly. Mata and Ribéry's outstanding use of speed and skillful footwork was admirable, but Carlos' barbaric breakthrough made everyone's blood boil with excitement. "Let's go!" Dagstino shouted excitedly. Mata's and Ribéry's outstanding use of speed and skillful footwork was admirable, but Carlos' barbaric breakthrough made everyone's blood boil with excitement.
Javier Blanco and Chiesa were running. Originally, Santander's goalkeeper, Awat's attention was on the two players. However, he did not expect Carlos, who rarely dribbled the ball forward, to use such a brutal method. He staggered and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He quickly attacked.
Carlos's breakthrough surprised everyone, whether it was his teammates or opponents. At this time, all the defenders of Santander were behind him. In front of him, only Santander's goalkeeper, Awat, was behind him and the goal behind him!
Li Ang's mouth was wide open on the sidelines. He never expected to see Carlos dribble the ball and break through. He even passed two people in a row. Although he was a little staggered, he charged into the penalty area and single-handedly took the shot!
"Shoot!" Li Ang growled on the sidelines. Seeing Carlos stagger and could fall at any time, he was really worried about whether the kid could complete the most important step: shooting!
*****
Carlos had not stabilized his center of gravity. The football bounced up in front of him. He saw the goalkeeper attack. At this time, he made a move that stunned everyone.
With his left foot as the axis, he threw himself out. He swung his right foot and kicked the football fiercely.
It was a volley in the air similar to a scissor kick!
Santander's goalkeeper, Awat, looked at Carlos's shot in horror!
He opened his arms and pounced out horizontally. He wanted to stop Carlos's volley!
The commentator's seat was silent. The commentators were stunned by Carlos's volley. However, many people who saw Carlos's shot would subconsciously think that the shot could have hit an airplane!
Although Carlos had scored before, more people thought that he was fooling around. No one expected the quality of Carlos's shot!
Then, everyone saw that after the football was kicked in the air by Carlos's scissor kick, it leaped high and made a beautiful arc. It bypassed Awat's hands, drew a parabola, and fell directly into the goal …
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped. There was a dead silence.
The entire Sardines Stadium, the people of Santander, the people of Gijon, and everyone had their mouths wide open. They looked at the football that was still bouncing in the goal, dumbfounded.
