Li Ang put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked up at the stands.
He was startled by the sudden burst of sound.
The entire stadium was like a pot of hot oil, and suddenly a lit match was thrown into it, and there was a boom!
"This is El Molinon!" Li Ang felt the blood in his chest surge. Anyone, anyone would be infected in this situation.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
In fact, Li Ang muttered the phrase 'This is El Molinon'!
He didn't mean to express anything, or that it was an accident.
Before this game, Li Ang received a new task from the system, and the name of the task was [This is El Molinon]!
This is the system's mission for this Copa del Rey match against Alaves. The mission statement is to defend the dignity of Ermolinon.
There are no specific task requirements, but in Li Ang's opinion, winning the game and defeating the opponent is to defend the dignity of this stadium!
Therefore, when the camera was focused on him, Li Ang felt something in his heart, and he thought of this mission in his mind, and muttered casually.
But he didn't expect that his casual words would cause restlessness and enthusiasm in the entire stadium!
Li Ang was also infected.
He knew that he was really lucky. His words ignited the enthusiasm of the entire stadium, and it could even be said that he gained a lot of points.
Looking at the madness of these fans, you can completely imagine the attitude of Sporting Gijon fans towards Li Ang at this moment.
He just said one sentence, and then the sentence was transmitted to the fans through live TV, and then it caused this huge reaction!
Li Ang is such a lucky man!
As a rookie coach, the fans will definitely not have much trust in him. However, at this moment, a simple sentence cannot be said to have conquered the fans, but the fans' favor for him has definitely increased dramatically!
Of course, there is a follow-up condition, Li Ang must lead the team to play this game well!
The result of the game was very good, so, this is an iron fact! He, Li Ang, led the team to maintain the final dignity of Ermolinon! The effect and influence of those words will be infinitely magnified!
If the result of the game is unsatisfactory, then what Li Ang said will be meaningless and may even become a laughing stock!
Of course Li Ang knew this.
This game is the true debut of his career!
He wants to win more than anyone else!
Looking forward to a perfect start to your debut!
***********
In the players' tunnel, Sporting Gijon captain Miguel Cobas had a very solemn expression, and there were other players who had the same expression as him.
At this moment, huge cheers erupted from the stadium, which shocked them. The team's record was poor, and it had been a long time since there had been such a huge cheer at home.
What's happening outside?!
Miguel Cobas and his teammates knew nothing about it.
At this moment, they were still thinking about the story that happened in the locker room before.
Before the game started, Li Ang did not do any pre-war mobilization. Instead, he read a paragraph from a newspaper and played a video.
The newspaper was an article by "Post de Gijon" about his disrespect for his predecessor Rashidria. In order to criticize Leon, this newspaper even shamelessly whitewashed Rashidria, saying that Sporting Gijon has reached this point.
, it’s not the head coach’s problem, it’s the players’ poor performance... God, you know, just in the last issue of this newspaper, they were still verbally criticizing Rashidria. The moral integrity of the media, tsk tsk.
The video was downloaded from the official website of Post de Gijón. It was a conversation in which Leon was talking to himself outside the Ermoline Stadium and was followed and secretly filmed by two reporters.
"I'll just say three points." Li Ang said.
"The newspaper said that you are trash, and Rashidria was dismissed from get out of class because of your fault." As he spoke, Li Ang threw away the newspaper.
"I don't think so." Li Ang said, pointing to the projector, "You also heard what I said just now. Although many of you have not met my requirements, with your abilities, normally speaking, you should not
This is the current ranking.”
"The third point, that video, they secretly filmed it four days ago. At that time, I didn't know that I would be the head coach of the first team."
The meaning of Li Ang's last sentence is that I originally thought you were pretty good, but after coaching you, I retracted this opinion.
All the 'veteran players' in the first team looked ugly. They felt hugely humiliated.
They have always had an excuse, a fig leaf. They believe that the reason why the team has reached this point is because of the poor coaching level of the head coach: It's not that we are not good, it's that the commander is incompetent!
Now, the media has directly ripped off this fig leaf, and even said that Rashidria's dismissal was implicated by players like them.
This is something these players cannot tolerate!
Yes, many of them have no fighting spirit and are pessimistic about relegation.
However, this does not mean that they are bloodless.
Suffering such humiliation, the clay figure will become furious.
Therefore, these ‘veteran players’ from Sporting Gijon went on the field with a sense of anger that they wanted to vent and prove.
"That Chinese guy is right!" Captain Miguel Cobas turned to the players behind him and said, "We are not playing this game for him, we are playing it for ourselves!"
This was echoed by all the players.
***********
Assistant coach Scott Rui looked at Li Ang with almost adoring eyes. He had no idea that a newspaper or a video, which were originally intended to criticize Li Ang, could be used by this person and turned into an irritant.
The most effective weapons of these players!
What’s going on in this person’s head? Is this okay?!
It's no wonder that Scott Terry is not impressed.
At this moment, the game has gone on for forty minutes.
The first half of the game is about to end, and the score on the field is still zero to zero!
Li Ang has only one requirement for these starting players, and that is not to concede the ball!
Get back a score of 0-0 in the first half!
When he announced this goal at first, everyone in the team was shocked and puzzled. They practiced offensive routines for two and a half days, and now that the game is here, they suddenly said they would play defense?
However, the players' doubts were later solved by Li Ang with a newspaper and a video, allowing these players to unleash all their fighting spirit!
Li Ang crossed his arms and looked at the stadium.
His palms were covered with sweat. Even though he looked relaxed, he was still worried.
He used "special means" to stimulate the team. So far in the game, these players on the field can be said to be very desperate, almost fighting for every inch of ground. This caught Alaves off guard.
Alaves's brilliant offensive methods in the Segunda División were, at this moment, blocked by Sporting Gijon's various methods. Although the offensive was strong, they were unable to score a goal.
Li Ang knew that his method today could not be replicated at all. The players vented their frustration for almost half the season in the middle of a game just to not concede the ball. The energy they unleashed was astonishing.
This half is a very special situation. If he expects to use this method in the future to use these players on the field to play such a tough defense, it is simply impossible: When the half game is over, the breath on the chests of these people relaxes a little.
, it would be impossible to have such a defensive effect.
Among the eleven players in the starting lineup, except for Mata and Marcos, the other nine players are all original players of the first team.
Li Ang decisively put Marcos into the starting lineup. Since the team is fully defensive, this is when Marcos plays. To be honest, in terms of midfield defensive ability alone, among these midfielders in the first team, no one can match it.
With Marcos, it took Li Ang three months to build the 'Little Mac Lele'. Although it is far from taking shape, it can still cope with it in the Spanish Second Division.
As for sending Mata, Li Ang planned to use Mata's speed and breakthrough, hoping to beat Alaves with a sneak attack. Unfortunately, Sporting Gijon was completely passive and defended with all their strength. There was no chance to counterattack. Mata was on the court.
Almost disappeared.
Li Ang saw this and was not in a hurry. His real plan came in the second half. In the first half, as long as he didn't concede a goal, that would be the biggest good news.
Li Ang is not in a hurry, he has a plan in mind.
ps: Guaranteed third update. There will be another chapter immediately after. Why update so late? I just want to finish coding the two chapters and post them together. (To be continued.)
