Chapter 008 The first person in Europe in a century, monthly pass
Maleo training base.
Li Ang arrived early and he is already familiar with this training base.
He is familiar with the training ground of Sporting Gijon's b team. At this moment, he is standing at the entrance of the Maleo training base. Turn left from here, which is the training ground for the b team and the youth echelon. Turn right.
It’s the home of Sporting Gijon’s first team!
There is the core of this old Spanish team and the most glorious historical deposit.
The old gatekeeper Vazquez smiled. He had hugged Li Ang just now and congratulated him on his new first team. Then he stood there and looked at the first non-Spanish coach in the history of Sporting Gijon with a smile.
He is also the first Chinese head coach. At the feet of the old man, the janitor Scotch sheepdog Osgo is lying there lazily. Everything is so quiet.
"Goodbye, Vazquez." Leon nodded goodbye to the old gatekeeper. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and turned to the right!
"Good luck to you, Lee!" Vazquez shouted, looking at the young man's back.
Li Ang waved his arms and walked firmly towards the first team's training ground and office.
He went to his office first.
The office is a bit messy, even a bit messy.
From here we can also see that Sporting Gijon's late-night coaching change was hurried and everything seemed messy.
There are traces of the previous owner everywhere in the office. There is a calendar on the desk with many circles on it.
On the wall, there is a family photo of Sporting Gijon. The former head coach Rashidria looks ambitious, and he is surrounded by Sporting Gijon players.
After most of the season and the winter break, some of the players on the family portrait have transferred and left, new players have joined, and the team's head coach has also changed.
"Sorry, Li, there's no time to clean the office." First team assistant coach Scott Terry knocked on the door and said a little embarrassedly.
Rashidria dismissed class and took his coaching staff with him. However, Scoteri was not among them. He was not part of Rashidria's coaching staff. Scoteri was an old man from Sporting Gijon.
, has been serving as the team's assistant coach. Although his ability is mediocre, he is loyal to the club and works hard without complaint.
Li Ang had met Scott Rui twice before, and his impression of him was that he was a gentle and honest man.`
Scoteri's full name is Jesus Scoteri.
"It's okay." Li Ang smiled and stretched out his hand, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Jesus."
"I'm very happy too." Scott Rui said happily. He knew Li Ang far better than the opponent knew him. This coach who is loyal to the team is also very concerned about the B team. He
I admire Li Ang's outstanding achievements in coaching the B team, and I am also heartfeltly happy about the improvement of the B team. Therefore, although Scott Terry cannot say that he supports the club's appointment of Li Ang as the head coach of the first team, but,
He welcomed the coach with a cautious attitude. At the same time, he was also curious as to whether the Chinese could repeat his excellent coaching performance in the B team with the first team.
***********
The communication between Li Ang and his new assistant Scott Rui started from the current situation of the Spanish Second Division.
Scotry introduced to Leon the current situation of the Spanish Second Division after the 26th round.
Currently in the league, the leader is Levante, who leads the standings with 55 points. Behind Levante are Numancia with 54 points, Getafe with 52 points, and the same points.
Alaves and Huelva have 51 points, followed by Elche in sixth place with 50 points.
There are three promotion places in La Liga. At present, the newly promoted teams in La Liga next season will basically be born among these six teams.
When talking about these six teams that have the hope of being promoted to La Liga, Scoteri can't hide his envy and disappointment in his words. Originally, Sporting Gijon's player configuration and what the team has done to hit La Liga
Prepare, under normal circumstances, Sporting Gijon should also be one of these six teams.
Now, Sporting Gijon can only fight for relegation.
This is really a great irony and sadness.
Li Ang was also a little sad.
However, what he is most concerned about is the team's relegation cause.
Sporting Gijon currently has 30 points, ranking 18th in the league, which is fifth from the bottom.
Behind Sporting Gijon is Leganes, who also have 30 points. This team ranks 19th due to the disadvantage of winning against other teams.
The 20th place is Las Palmas, their points are 29 points.
Then there is Almeria, which ranks second from last, with 28 points.
The last place is Algeciras, this team has 25 points.
Because at this time, there are four relegation places in La Liga B, and in terms of points, Sporting Gijon is tied for fourth from the bottom, and the point difference with the following teams is so close. In addition, Sporting Gijon and
It has not won a game in nearly three months, and its state is worse than the following teams. Therefore, it is no wonder that the media generally believes that Sporting Gijon's relegation situation is the most severe.
It can be said that what Li Ang inherited was a super mess.
***********
"At 22:00 last night, Sporting Gijon announced the termination of Rashidria's contract. Almost at the same time, the club announced their new coach candidate - contrary to everyone's expectations, the coach from the B team
The Chinese coach Li Ang took over the coaching job left by Rashidria and became the new head coach of this relegation team... We are now at the Maleo training base..."
This is a morning news program. On the TV, a female reporter with brown hair is holding a microphone and standing in front of the camera to report the news to the audience.
This is a live broadcast!
Behind the beautiful female reporter is the gate of the Maleo training base.
The old janitor Vazquez looked at these foreign visitors with a serious face, and the Scottish shepherd dog Osgo also looked prepared.
Sporting Gijon signed a first-team coaching contract with Li Ang, which can be said to be a lightning signing. The club did not hold a press conference in time.
Therefore, these reporters who couldn't wait simply rushed to the Maleo training base for interviews.
The change of head coach for a Spanish second division team like Sporting Gijon, which is deep in the relegation zone, was originally just a ripple on the lake and would not cause much ripples. However, this time, it attracted a lot of attention.
In fact, this has something to do with the new head coach Li Ang!
Because Li Ang is a Chinese!
He is not a Chinese living in Europe or Spain, but a genuine Chinese, a citizen of the People's Republic of China!
It cannot be said that some media are completely unfamiliar with Li Ang. However, at that time Li Ang was only the coach of Sporting Gijon's B team. How could the B team compare with the first team? Naturally, everyone's attention to this was incomparable to that of the first team.
.
Now, this Chinese has become the coach of a Spanish second division football league and the coach of a professional team in the Spanish second division league. This has naturally attracted huge attention!
You know, in the seventy-year history of the Spanish Football League, there has never been a pure Chinese who can become the head coach of a professional team.
Let alone the Spanish Professional League, there are other European leagues, the Italian League, the French League, the English League, the German League, the Scottish League, even the Portuguese League, etc., etc., and I have never heard of a Chinese coaching the first team.
precedent.
Now, Li Ang has done it!
He became the first Chinese head coach in European football in a century!
Moreover, he also coached Sporting Gijon, a Segunda División team, a down-and-out veteran team that is also somewhat famous in European football.
This is even more shocking and curious.
Therefore, many media gathered in Maleo.
At this moment, Li Ang, accompanied by assistant coach Scott Rui, was at the first team's training base in the frontcourt, where he would meet his players for the first time.
From this day on, he will truly begin his coaching career at Sporting Gijon!
The morning sunlight cast a faint golden color on his body, making him look dreamy.
In the camera lens of Maleo's reporters, this Chinese man is walking in high spirits, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a grand appearance...
ps: VIP was supposed to be opened at zero o'clock, but for some reason the system was only opened now for sports. The new book monthly ticket list was directly dropped.
I feel very depressed. I feel like a minority is being looked down upon, and I feel uncomfortable.
