The janitor Vazquez is wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper.
Vázquez is a season ticket holder of Sporting Gijon and an old fan. This old crew member could not rest idle after retirement and came to the Maleo training base to "re-employ" and became the gatekeeper of the training base.
This sixty-year-old man successfully applied for this position. One reason is that he is a loyal supporter of the team. The other reason is that the old man said that he does not want a salary. He has a generous pension. For the old man, working in Maleo
, being with your favorite team is a great spiritual satisfaction.
The financially strapped club is naturally happy to hear this, as it not only satisfies the spiritual needs of the old fans, but also saves money. Of course, this is inseparable from the veteran crew member's strong physical fitness being able to do the job.
The newspapers are full of reports about yesterday's game between Sporting Gijon's b team and Rayo Vallecano.
"Incredible Victory!"
"The Miracle of Ermolinon!"
"The Amazing Chinese Coach!"
"The Chinese won the bet!"
"The character coach who can flip!"
"Chinese Li's Battle for Success!"
"A Chinese who makes female fans scream!"
"Team B! The only hope for Gijon now!"
As these newspapers said, this big victory for the B team is the only thing that can make the fans grateful and happy for Sporting Gijon, which is in a terrible situation.
A dog barked outside the door.
Vazquez put down the newspaper and walked out.
The front page of the newspaper was a photo: Li Ang raised his arms and cheered. Behind him, there were countless cheering El Molinon Stadium with arms raised high...
***********
"Osku! Be honest! Otherwise I'll beat you up!" Li Ang looked at the Scottish shepherd in front of him, grinning at him, and threatened.
This dog is the pet dog of Maleo's gatekeeper Vazquez. Well, Leon is no stranger to this dog. On the first day he came to Gijon, he saw the 'deeds' of this dog: At that time, Oscu
Chasing the pullets, Vazquez, the janitor, is chasing Oscu, and the training ground is in a state of chaos...
Li Ang used this incident as an excuse and took the opportunity to reprimand and give a baptismal speech to the players he met for the first time.
"Who wants to touch my Osgo?!" came a voice.
Li Ang looked at the angry Vazquez and smiled sheepishly, "Oscu and I were joking."
When the old guard Vazquez saw it was Leon, he immediately laughed and gave his dog a few words of training. The dog whined and ran away. Then, the old man insisted on dragging Leon to the guard room to drink coffee.
"I watched yesterday's game and it was great," Vazquez said. "This game reminded me of the Sporting Gijon team 20 years ago."
"We are just the B team!" Li Ang was happy in his heart but said modestly.
While the two were chatting, staff from the Maleo base came to work from time to time. When they saw Li Ang, they all greeted him warmly.
Some of these people he knew, some he didn't know. After all, the base was relatively large and he had only been here a short time, so it was impossible to recognize them all.
However, even some people he didn't know yet took the initiative to smile and say hello to him.
When meeting someone he knows, Li Ang calls out the person's name and responds with 'good morning'.
Li Ang responded with a smile to those who didn't know him.
He knows the reason for this enthusiasm. After two games, especially the big win in yesterday's game, and the story behind this big win, he has won everyone's respect. Or it can be said that everyone's respect for him
Recognition of coaching ability.
In any place, performance and strength are the last word. Strength, only strength can make people look at you with admiration.
Li Ang has done quite well. It has only been a month since he came to Sporting Gijon, and he has already used his results to silence those who doubted and criticized him, and he is also winning the respect of these colleagues.
***********
On the training ground, Li Ang saw his players.
The boys are all in high spirits and their training attitude is extremely serious.
Yesterday's game gave these players great spiritual satisfaction and a huge boost in self-confidence.
Rayo Vallecano, who is ranked sixth in the league, is not an easy person. We were able to beat Rayo Vallecano 5-0, leaving the opponent unable to fight back. This game, and the stories that happened before the game, are very important to us.
For these players, it may be an unforgettable memory in their career and an experience that will have a very important impact on their development.
In addition, this big victory also made the players more interested in and have the greatest confidence in the tactics developed by the coach.
Or you can say enthusiasm!
They believe that as long as they train hard, train and compete according to the coach's requirements, the situation of team B will only get better and better.
Seeing the mental state of the players, Li Ang was very satisfied. They were in good spirits. Such a vigorous atmosphere is what it should be.
"In yesterday's game, we defeated our opponent by a huge margin!" Li Ang said, looking at his players, "I congratulate you! Your performance was great!"
The players' faces were flushed and they straightened their backs subconsciously.
"However, I want to remind you of one thing." Li Ang said, "That big victory is just a special case for the time being. There are many factors for this victory, including the factors that our opponents did not pay attention to us, and the factors that we ourselves played for a long time. Therefore,
You must recognize this clearly and don’t be blindly proud.”
Li Ang poured some cold water on the players. He had to mention this first. He didn't want the players to be complacent because of one game. That would be bad, because only Li Ang himself knew the special nature of that game.
The game involves the players’ all-out efforts, and the most important factor is the perfect role of the [model play] skills.
The players all nodded. The team was at a low point and they had been questioned. This made these players mentally tempered and matured. They had a relatively clear understanding of their own situation. Therefore, no one
They think they can be complacent because they beat Rayo Vallecano by a big score, thinking how awesome they are.
Li Ang expressed satisfaction with everyone's response.
Even if you pour cold water on it, you still need to add fire.
"However," Li Ang said, "I have confidence in you. You are all great. As long as you train hard and work hard according to the tactics I have formulated, you will find that winning against a team like Rayo Vallecano is no longer worth being so excited about.
Because we have to slowly start to get used to enjoying winning!"
Ouch! Ouch!
The players let out a burst of cheers and their eyes shone. They were looking forward to the prospects described by the coach and had great confidence in it. Now they absolutely respect and believe in Li Ang, and some players have even begun to worship Li Ang.
***********
Li Ang looked at his watch, "Why haven't you come yet? Those guys won't break the contract, right?"
If Xavi Gradro and his gang really have no gambling qualities, Li Ang will only look down upon these fans even more.
"Boss, are you waiting for those fans?" Javier Blanco asked.
Li Ang nodded.
"They've already been here," Javier said.
"Have you been here?" Li Ang asked in surprise.
"Yes, boss." Abarez said, "They came here early and have already apologized to us."
Li Ang looked strange after hearing this. He understood that Xavi Gradro came very early on purpose. This man was afraid of losing face. Now he apologized to the players and expressed his willingness to admit defeat, but also avoided the situation.
yourself to avoid greater embarrassment and loss of face.
"It seems that I missed a good show." Li Ang shrugged.
"Hahaha!" The players all laughed.
"Boss!" Mata raised his hand and said, "I secretly recorded it just now, do you want to take a look?"
Li Ang glanced at Mata and gave a thumbs up, which meant that you are smart enough and I like it.
"After training, send me the video!" Li Ang said.
"no problem."
There was another burst of joyful laughter on the training ground.
***********
On the road outside the Maleo training base.
Harvey Gradero and his friends were walking. Some were laughing, some looked ashamed, and some were silent.
The team performed well and beat Rayo Vallecano 5-0. Of course they were happy, but some people felt a little uncomfortable when these big men apologized to a bunch of kids.
Fortunately, the Chinese man was not here to avoid greater embarrassment.
"Boss, what you are doing is very bad," Reyes complained.
"What do you want to say?" Harvey Gradero said.
"We are willing to admit defeat, but we are not going to lose the battle, so there is no need to hide?" Reyes said.
"you shut up!"
"Boss, it's all because of you that I originally wanted to ask the Chinese for an autograph."
"I told you to shut up! Be careful and I'll beat you up!" Harvey came up and gave Reyes a false kick.
"Boss."
"kindness?"
"I look down on you."
Ouch, I have such a bad temper!
Xavi was angry and hit Reyes with a hammer.
The others laughed when they saw this scene.
The depressed emotions brought about by the poor situation of the first team, all because of this big victory of the B team, my mood suddenly improved a lot...
The morning sun casts its shadow on this group of fans, and their figures become blurred. They fight and move forward...
ps: First update, and guaranteed 1 update.

Starting from the next chapter, Li Ang begins his magnificent journey in Spanish football in this seaport city in northern Spain!
