In the president's box of the Hermandyk Stadium, Manuel Arango, the president of the visiting team Sporting Gijon, was talking to Hidalgo, the president of the home team Salamanca.
This game is Li Ang's first league game after taking over the team, and the team has just eliminated the 'powerful' Alaves in the Copa del Rey. This makes the old Arango worried about the game between the team and Salamanca.
He was looking forward to it, so he came to watch the away game.
As a rule, when the visiting team chairman comes to the away game to watch a game, the home team chairman is required to receive and accompany him.
Regardless of what the two people were chatting about now, they seemed to be having a good time, but old Arango was feeling angry right now.
When the two shook hands with each other before, Mr. Hidalgo, the chairman of Salamanca, spoke with an arrogant tone, obviously feeling that his team's ranking was much higher than that of the "veteran Segunda División powerhouse" Sporting Gijon.
Feeling triumphant, watching a team that shouted slogans before the season to hit La Liga struggling in the relegation zone, this is an inexplicable feeling of satisfaction for Salamanca, a veteran of La Liga who has always had mediocre results.
"I have already discussed with Ronaldo that we will have a big fight next season. If the team can be promoted to La Liga next season, Ronaldo will buy the team's shares again. Mr. Hidalgo said proudly.
Yes, the Ronaldo this gentleman is talking about is the Ronaldo, the Brazilian forward Ronaldo of Real Madrid. Ronaldo and Hidalgo are very good friends. It is said that the two people knew each other when Ronaldo was still playing for Barcelona. The friendship with Ronaldo is also
This made Hidalgo very happy and he would show it off from time to time.
And Ronaldo is indeed a good friend. When he learned that Salamanca was short of forwards, he introduced and lobbied his friend Kaka to join Salamanca during the winter break last year (this Kaka is not Pika).
Kaka (just the same name as AC Milan's Kaka) met.
Later, after Ronaldo learned that Salamanca's finance department was doing well, he said he would buy Salamanca's shares. This was not just talk. In December last year, Ronaldo bought the shares.
I bought 60,000 euros of shares in Salamanca Club. Although the money is not much, it is a supportive attitude.
So, at this moment, facing Sporting Gijon, which had poor results and was in a worse financial situation than Salamanca, Mr. Hidalgo felt very good and started to brag.
Listening to the words of Hidalgo, the chairman of Salamanca, who was not in the eyes of Sporting Gijon at all, the old Arango had a faint smile on his face and echoed two unintentional words from time to time. However, the fire in his heart was growing.
It's rising rapidly.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
plum!
We must win this game!
You absolutely cannot lose to this proud guy in front of you!

Salamanca's head coach Charles was chatting with his assistant coach Canterbury, and then he saw Sporting Gijon's starting situation and saw that their starting forwards were Matt Bilic and David Reuben.
He laughed when playing against a pair of strikers who had never played together before.
According to his understanding, Matt Bilic has only played six times for Sporting Gijon this season without scoring a single goal, while Ruben has played fifteen times for Sporting Gijon and only scored two goals. These two people
They have never partnered together before, so what do the Chinese think, letting these two people partner up in the forward line?!
This is wrong. According to the 'reconnaissance' of Salamanca's staff, Sporting Gijon's starting forward should not be this pair.
"We just got the news that Juan Mata has a high fever," assistant coach Canterbury said.
"This is good news." Charles smiled. Regarding Mata, a little guy who scored twice in the game against Alaves, Charles was quite alert. He heard that the 16-year-old was absent because of a fever.
He is naturally happy during the competition.
"So, this is an accident. According to the training we sent to observe Sporting Gijon, Ruben should not be a player that the Chinese like." Head coach Canterbury said, "This should disrupt Sporting Gijon's deployment."
Who said that Salamanca has no desires and desires? Who said that Salamanca will be easier to deal with in this game? This can be seen from the fact that Salamanca actually sent people to Gijon to 'detect' Sporting Gijon's training.
This team is ambitious for this game.
And all this is because Mr. Hidalgo, the chairman of Salamanca, gave the team an order to win against Sporting Gijon!
This Mr. Chairman seems to be very enthusiastic about beating up the drowned dog, especially beating up the drowned dog who was more successful than himself in the past and is now in a desperate situation.
This is really a strange psychology.
*************
Over at the Sporting Gijon coaching bench, Li Ang was also chatting with his assistant coach Scott Terry.
"Li, did you know?" Scottry said, "The Football Association has punished Olic."
Olic is the head coach of Alaves. At the press conference after the Copa del Rey match against Sporting Gijon, he slapped Brazil Tradi, a reporter from "Post de Gijon". For a head coach,
Said that such behavior will definitely be severely punished by the Spanish Football Federation.
Of course, this matter is quite interesting to talk about. Origi took action because he was extremely unhappy because Alaves was eliminated by Sporting Gijon, and he also misunderstood Bastradi, a reporter from "Post de Gijon".
, and the latter was so angry at Li Ang's behavior of 'blocking' his media that he was jumping up and down, so that he was misunderstood by Olic, and was slapped. This matter really needs to be peeled off, and he has a close relationship with Li Ang.
.
"What's the punishment?" Li Ang asked with interest.
"Suspended for eight games and fined 2,000 euros," Scoteri said.
What a heavy penalty! Liang gasped. This is indeed a heavy penalty. Let’s not talk about the fine. The eight-game suspension is definitely a heavy penalty for Olic and Alaves. Alaves is
After trying their best to compete for promotion to La Liga, the head coach was suspended for eight games, which was definitely a blow to the head.
"Alaves Club has announced the dismissal of Olic." Scoteri continued to break the "big news".
Li Ang was even more surprised. Is get out of class over now?
No, although the head coach is suspended and cannot direct the game from the sidelines, the head coach can enter the locker room during pre-game tactical arrangements and training, as well as during halftime, and can still exert influence on the game.
Impact, this is much better than firing the head coach and finding someone to take over. How could Alaves choose the worst way to deal with it, firing the head coach?
"The Aravis have a thorn in their hearts," said Scoteri.
These words are very mysterious, but Li Ang understands them instantly.
The Alaves want to make a difference in the Copa del Rey. According to the match schedule, if Alaves get past Sporting Gijon, they will face Zaragoza in the semi-finals. This will avoid
Real Madrid is a super powerful club. Although Zaragoza is also very strong, Alaves, as the UEFA Cup runner-up two seasons ago, still has the strength and confidence to compete with Zaragoza.
, if Zaragoza can be eliminated to advance to the Copa del Rey final, then Alaves will qualify for the UEFA Cup next season!
Thinking back to the thrilling 4-5 match between Alaves and Liverpool in the UEFA Cup final two years ago, the Alaves people were unwilling to accept it. This game was a thorn in their hearts, and they were eager to return again.
Going to the European arena, eager to once again prove his reputation!
Therefore, Alaves attaches great importance to the Copa del Rey. Under such circumstances, when the team led 4-1 at home in the first round, it was unexpectedly overturned by a 'relegation team' like Sporting Gijon.
They were eliminated with a humiliating score of zero to three, and they were defeated by a Chinese rookie coach. This directly caused an internal shock at the Alaves club!
The real reason why Olic was fired was because of the loss to Li Ang and the disastrous defeat in the Copa del Rey!
"Hey, Lee, I have some good news for you -" Scottry said, "some media have given you a new nickname."
"What?" Li Ang asked subconsciously, his eyes looking towards the field. At this time, the game had already started.
"Fellow killer!" Scott Rui said, holding back his laughter.
