Chapter 015 The Alaves monthly pass that shocked Europe,
Alaves is definitely a tough opponent to deal with.
It can even be said that Alaves' strength is still at the mid-range level even in La Liga. This is after the loss of players and weakening.
Alaves is now a La Liga team. They were relegated from La Liga last season.
Alaves was promoted to La Liga in 1997. It was the dark horse of La Liga from 1999 to 2002. Unfortunately, it has been relegated to the Spanish League C. Before 2002, Alaves had the golden retriever Coloccini, the Romanian side
Defender Contra and striker Moreno. It is worth mentioning that these three people are related to AC Milan. Coloccini was loaned to Alaves by Milan. Contra and Moreno played in the UEFA Cup final.
Later he joined Milan, but unfortunately he was said to be a parallel import...
The UEFA Cup final mentioned here happened three seasons ago. Alaves, the dark horse of La Liga that season, shocked the whole of Europe in the UEFA Cup. They met the Serie A giant Inter Milan in the quarter-finals.
Many people thought that Alaves' dark horse journey ended here, but Alaves' 3-3 Inter Milan at home and 2-0 Inter Milan away made Nerazzurri very depressed.
Then, Alaves went all the way to the UEFA Cup final. On May 16, 2001, Alaves and Liverpool started the UEFA Cup final at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund. This is a team with a large number of fans.
There seemed to be no suspense about the outcome of the contest between the Premier League giants and a less well-known team. However, both sides played a magnificent game. Alaves showed their iron blood even though they were trailing 0-2.
They lost to Liverpool 4-5, but this La Liga dark horse made the whole of Europe look at them with admiration.
What then? Then the Alaves supermarket opened, many stars were poached by wealthy clubs, and there were problems within the club. Two years after that thrilling UEFA Cup final, last season, Alaves was relegated from La Liga.
Although they lost their stars and were relegated to the Spanish Second Division, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Alaves is definitely one of the strongest teams in the Spanish Second Division.
Therefore, Li Ang has a headache now.
Alaves is very strong, and the most urgent task and ultimate goal of his Sporting Gijon team is to avoid relegation.
It stands to reason that he can give up the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Alaves, face the cruel road of relegation, give up the hopeless cup competition, and concentrate on the league. This is definitely the most normal thing.
It's a bad move.
However, if another coach encounters this problem, he can do that.
But, Li Ang can't!
His appointment as the head coach of Sporting Gijon has always been highly questionable. Both the media and the fans will stare at him with a magnifying glass. The first game after coaching will receive special attention.
If Sporting Gijon loses to Alaves again, or even suffers another disastrous defeat, then Leon will face tremendous pressure and a worse working environment, and his work at Sporting Gijon will be even more difficult.
Fucking Copa del Rey!
Li Ang now really wishes that Sporting Gijon had already been eliminated from the Copa del Rey, so that he wouldn't have to face this problem.
It was obvious that they lost 1-4 in the away game and were almost certain to be eliminated. The second round of the game should have been a formality. However, due to various factors, he led the team but had to face it head-on at home.
*************
At this time, the club's general manager, Elroyd, came to the training ground looking for him.
"Alexander." Li Ang asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Elroyd looked at this Chinese man. His head was almost big now. Isn't it said that Chinese people are very humble and gentle? Why is this man in front of him not one of them?
As the general manager of the club, if such a big thing happened on the sidelines of the first team training ground just now, someone would naturally notify him.
In fact, he didn't even need to be told, he could learn about it later, because one of the media outlets that interviewed Li Ang actually broadcast the interview live, and broadcast it all live on a local TV station in Gijon.
Then, the Gijon people knew that the Chinese coach who had been on the TV news twice before was in the news again.
This time, just like the previous time when Li Ang faced radical fans alone on the sidelines of the B-team training ground to protect the heroic image of his players, Li Ang faced so many media alone, neither humble nor arrogant, and full of confidence. Maybe the media at the scene would not
I like it, but the fans are still very happy.
Even some fans who were originally skeptical about Li Ang coaching the first team had to give Li Ang a thumbs up at this time. At the very least, the Chinese showed strong self-confidence and seemed very motivated. Nothing else.
Say, just focus on this, it will make people feel something to look forward to.
The fans think it's pretty good and are quite happy. Especially some female fans, they have already felt very good about this Chinese coach. At this moment, seeing the footage of Li Ang fighting the media and seeing this man's confident and stern appearance,
The screams continued, and I fell in love with this Chinese guy even more. This Chinese guy is so cool, unafraid, cold, responsible, confident, and a little handsome in appearance. He is like a girl, a rotten girl, and a young woman.
Kill.
However, for club general manager Elroyd, Li Ang's move was very inappropriate.
Li Ang was not afraid of offending the media and came to the 'press conference' very happily. However, as a club, he will definitely consider a lot.
*************
Elroyd looked at Li Ang, shook his head, and said, "The afternoon press conference is cancelled."
The press conference was cancelled? Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that it was the press conference for him to take over as the team's first-team head coach. It was originally scheduled for the afternoon. Now the club has announced that it has been cancelled... He understood that this was a press conference.
It's a small punishment, it's the club's punishment for him making unruly opinions and saying those things to the media.
If there is no press conference, then there will be no press conference. Li Ang doesn't care too much. He is currently thinking about the game against Alaves. If there is no press conference, he will have an extra hour to be busy with work.
Elroyd originally thought that Li Ang would be a little angry because being canceled from the press conference, which should be a shameless thing, but he was surprised to see that Li Ang didn't seem to care. However, this also reassured him a lot.
, he was worried about needing to appease Li Ang's emotions.
"Alexander? Is there anything else?" Leon asked when he saw that Elroyd hadn't left.
"Did you say something inappropriate about Rashidriya?" Elroyd asked.
"What?" Li Ang didn't understand.
"That's what you said about Rashidriya being incompetent." Elroyd said, his head was pounding. This guy had just taken over as the head coach of the first team. It was only his first day, and he had already done so many things.
Things...well, when this guy was in the B team, he also messed up a lot of things.
"Ah?" Li Ang said in surprise, "How do you know? I just talked casually while walking on the road, how do you know?"
Li Ang was really surprised. He was very surprised. He was outside the El Molinon Stadium and then muttered a few words. How did Elroyd know?
Elroyd snorted coldly and threw a newspaper to Li Ang, "Read it yourself!"
"What?" Li Ang took it, muttered, and lowered his head to read. It was a copy of "Post Gijón". On the front page, there was a huge headline: Rashidria is an incompetent fool - the Chinese are very rude.
Evaluation of ex!
Is this? Li Ang is confused!
Then he saw the following report, which said that reporters Bastradi and Toyanin of this newspaper met Sporting Gijon's new head coach Li Ang outside the El Molinon Stadium, but the Chinese coach made arrogant remarks,
No respect for the previous coach at all, etc.
Encounter!
I met your sister by chance!
Li Ang's super memory came into play, and he remembered the two guys he met outside El Molinon Stadium.
Sure enough, those two guys are reporters!
"Asshole, those two guys are so abominable!" Li Ang was furious. He had just 'taken advantage' of many media once and was feeling proud, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into the media's trick unintentionally.
However, it’s empty talk, so I don’t have to admit it.
"Can I complain that they are spreading rumors?" Li Ang coughed slightly and said, this means we can not admit the matter.
"They have a video. It has been posted on their official website." A black line appeared on Elroyd's forehead, and he snorted depressedly.
Video recording?
Holy crap!
Those two guys were following and filming themselves?!
Li Ang had goosebumps all over his body, and a word came to his mind for no reason: tail row!
Assholes, reporters are all hooligans.
