Chapter 044 Sporting Gijon's Road to the King's Cup Asking for a Monthly Pass
Li Ang opened his eyes drowsily. He really drank too much last night. First he had dinner with the players, and then had fun with the fans. It was okay when he was with the players, but Li Ang also let go when he was with the fans.
When you open it, you will feel happy when you drink it.
He looked at the alarm clock beside his bed. It was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Li Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seems that he really needs to control himself in the future. Alcohol is not a good thing.
Get up, brush your teeth, wash up, and make some simple breakfast.
Li Ang went out to get the day's newspaper and prepared to enjoy a pleasant breakfast: reading the newspaper and eating breakfast at the same time.
There seemed to be something remarkable mixed in among a stack of newspapers. Li Ang took it out and saw that it was a greeting card with a line of words written crookedly on it: Li, thank you for leading us to win, Barthez will always be there for you.
Come on.
He was already in a good mood, but seeing this greeting card made him feel even better.
Li Ang took this greeting card and looked at it. Who could have written it? The words were really ugly, as if they were written by a child who had just learned to write.
He stood up, put the greeting card away carefully and put it in the bookcase window.
Then Li Ang started to read the newspapers. He looked for those words that praised himself and Sporting Gijon. In fact, he did not need to search for it deliberately. The important pages of these newspapers were given to yesterday's game. For Li Ang and Sporting Gijon, it was
A round of praise.
Looking at the words of praise in the newspaper and looking at his photo in his own newspaper, Li Ang felt proud and hummed, it felt really good.
Of course, Li Ang threw a certain newspaper called "Post Gijon" into the trash can without even reading it. He knew that there would never be anything good in it without even reading it.
In fact, this is exactly the case. "Post de Gijon" described Leon as a "tyrant" and even used the word "fascist" to describe his ban on his own media. It even used Leon's Chinese identity to allude to it.
Talk about the dictator from Red China.
It's a pity that after they talked so much, Li Ang didn't even look at them.
In fact, "Poste de Gijon" has become famous today. When about seven or eight newspapers in Gijon are praising Leon and Sporting Gijon, this newspaper's "unique" critical voice appears to be the most "unique" among them.
Out of place, of course, if it's just out of place, it's nothing. The key is that it aroused the anger of the local fans in Gijon. What's the matter? We worked hard for three months and finally the team won, and it was a very special game.
A wonderful comeback, we reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. This is Gijon's best result in the cup in the past ten years. Your "Post de Gijon" is the largest local media in Gijon. Not only does it not compete with
The proud praise was instead poured with cold water, and the paper was full of criticism. This made the Sporting Gijon fans who read the newspaper early in the morning very angry. Many of them just threw the newspaper into the trash can like Li Ang.
Some fans even logged onto the official website of Post de Gijón and cursed the newspaper.
In the forum of Sporting Gijon fans, there are also fans talking about this matter. The famous radical fan group "Red and White Devils" even launched a call to boycott "Post Gijon" on the Internet. This "Red and White Devils"
This is the fan group that Xavi Gradro and Bader Cuare belong to. They took the nickname "Red and White Devil" from Sporting Gijon in the 1990s as the name of the fan organization. Legend has it that Sporting Gijon was competing in and
In a match with Real Madrid, they defeated the super giant Real Madrid 2-0 at home. Madrid's "AS" described in a subsequent report that Real Madrid was stunned by the red and white devils. This incident has also been reported by many hopes.
Fans of Hong Jingjing are very proud. This fan organization was established after that and has a history of more than ten years.
***********
While Li Ang was eating breakfast, he was leisurely reading the reports that praised him. At this moment, his cell phone rang.
It was the call from the club's general manager, Alexander Elroyd.
"Good morning, Lee."
"Good morning, Alexander."
"Bastradi was beaten, did you know?" Elroyd said.
"Basteradi? Who is that?" Li Ang asked in surprise.
"The reporter from the Post de Gijón," Elroyd said.
"This is really good news." Li Ang laughed loudly, then he realized something and asked, "You don't think I hit that guy, do you? Although I really want to hit him."
"You didn't hit him," Elroyd said, "It was Orchi who hit him."
"Olic? The head coach of Alaves?" Li Ang was surprised. This is really too mysterious. He is the one who wants to hit that damn reporter the most. He doesn't even dare to hit someone, so why does this guy do it?
He was beaten by Alaves' head coach.
Elroyd briefly told Leon what happened after he left the press conference. Leon was dumbfounded. He laughed and then shook his head, "What a pity, what a pity."
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that I didn't see this wonderful show with my own eyes." Li Ang said.
Elroyd was speechless. He called to remind Leon to be honest at this time and not to add fuel to the fire. Unexpectedly, the other party's focus was here.
"The impact of this incident is very bad. You should not accept interviews from any media or express any opinions." Elroyd said seriously.
"I didn't hit anyone."
"You should be lucky that you were not the one who hit someone." Elroyd said, "The Spanish Football Federation is already discussing the punishment of Olic, and it is very likely that he will be suspended."
"so serious?"
"What do you think?" Elroyd said angrily.
Li Ang assured Elroyd that he would stay on his own terms and would not take the initiative to cause trouble.
After hearing this guarantee, Elroyd was relieved. This matter is indeed very troublesome, but the trouble is the Alaves club. The Spanish Football Federation is very angry about the head coach hitting the reporter. It is said that Alaves will be severely punished.
Weiss' head coach Olic and Sporting Gijon's general manager Mr. Elroyd were also frightened. Fortunately, it was not Leon who hit him, otherwise this would be a major blow to Sporting Gijon, which had just started to improve.
However, Elroyd had to be cautious and called the restless head coach to warn him not to cause trouble. After all, Alaves head coach Olic hit someone. If we really want to find out the reason, this
The matter has something to do with Li Ang, and it was all caused by his 'statement'.
Regarding Li Ang's statement, which caused great pain to the club, Club Gijon immediately expressed their views. As the press officer said at the press conference, this is the personal statement of head coach Mr. Li Ang and has nothing to do with the club.
, Li Ang, as a natural person, has the freedom to refuse interviews from certain media.
After ending the call with the general manager, Mr. Elroyd, Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt happy.
The person he wanted to beat the most was finally slapped by Alaves' coach, and this Mr. Olic can be said to be the most innocent. He had just been eliminated from the King's Cup under the leadership of Leon, and he was really angry.
, and now it has caused such a big thing.
What a good person.
Li Ang touched his chin. He was thinking about whether to give Mr. Olic a banner. This is the true selfless and self-sacrifice internationalist spirit.
***********
Later, Li Ang's attention was attracted by a newspaper.
This is "Voice of Gijon", the media where Mitra, the reporter who took the initiative to show kindness to Leon and wanted to interview him exclusively, works.
"Voice of Gijon" was full of praise for Li Ang, praising Li Ang's tactics in the game between Sporting Gijon and Alaves, saying that it was "a wonderful production by an extremely smart Chinese", and
He praised Li Ang for his level, ability and vision, and expressed his belief that the team will definitely succeed in relegation under the leadership of Li Ang.
This compliment made Li Ang very happy. This kind of newspaper and this kind of media are really lovable.
Li Ang also knows that this is another goodwill show by this media to him. Now, he is really considering whether to accept an exclusive interview with this media and, if possible, establish a good cooperative relationship. Li Ang knows that he needs to have
A well-connected media, to be precise, needs to have a spokesperson in the media.
Although other local media in Gijon are also praising him now, Li Ang understands the virtues of the media. Once the results of the next game are not good, the same media that are still praising him today will immediately be merciless.
Bash yourself. That's what the media is.
Under such circumstances, it would be necessary if a media that has established a certain relationship with itself can always stand on its side and cheer for itself.
Li Ang secretly noted this in his mind. It seemed that he needed to take some time to meet with the reporter Mitra. He believed that the other party must be waiting for his call. The olive branch has been extended twice, and he must be there too.
Waiting for your own response.
What caught Li Ang's attention was not just the praise and olive branch extended to him by "Voice of Gijon".
It is an analytical article written by "Voice of Gijon" at the end of its report on yesterday's game. The title of this article is: How far can Sporting Gijon go in the Copa del Rey?!
This immediately aroused Li Ang's interest and attention.
To be fair, he has never thought about the Copa del Rey. Even if he had to eliminate Alaves in yesterday's game, this was the excitement brought to him by the score of 2-0. Since there was hope of eliminating his opponent, he naturally wanted to seize it.
However, after Sporting Gijon eliminated Alaves and reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Li Ang really hasn't seriously considered the path ahead.
Elsewhere in yesterday's Copa del Rey quarter-finals:
Sevilla beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in an away game. The score of the first round of the match between the two sides was that Sevilla defeated their opponent 4-0 at home. The total score of the two rounds was Sevilla defeated Atletico Madrid 6-1. Sevilla beat Atletico Madrid 6-1.
Villa heads high and reaches the semi-finals.
Real Madrid beat Valencia 2-1 away from home. In the first round of the match, Real Madrid won 3-0 at home. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Valencia with a total score of 5-1 in the two rounds. The Galacticos entered the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
In another game, Zaragoza beat Barcelona 1-0 at home. In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Zaragoza defeated Barcelona 1-0 away from home. Therefore, Zaragoza won the game with a total score of 2-2.
Defeated Barcelona with a score of 1 and entered the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. This was also a big upset.
Now, the top four of the Copa del Rey are all announced, namely Sporting Gijon led by Li Ang, La Liga giants Real Madrid, La Liga powerhouses Sevilla and Zaragoza.
Except for Sporting Gijon, which is a La Liga team, the other three teams are all La Liga teams, including Galacticos Real Madrid!
Li Ang's eyes are fixed on Real Madrid at this moment!
