Sporting Gijon successfully avoided relegation four rounds ahead of schedule.
This is a big event in the whole of Gijon. All the bars are overcrowded on this day. Speaking of which, in the past few months, to be precise, it is due to the good results achieved by the team led by Li Ang since he took over the first team of Sporting Gijon.
Granted, the bar business is getting better and better.
On the night after the match against Malaga B, club president Manuel Arango hosted a banquet for the entire team.
Mr. Chairman is pleased to announce that in order to reward the team's efforts, the team will distribute bonuses totaling 300,000 euros.
In addition, there is also a team that wins the Spanish King's Cup championship, which also has a bonus of 300,000 euros.
The two bonuses add up to 600,000 euros.
This naturally caused another burst of cheers.
A bonus of 300,000 euros, and it is a bonus for relegation plus a cup championship. This is indeed a bit shabby. You know, for example, if Real Madrid did not lose to Sporting Gijon, but won the Copa del Rey.
, then, the stars of Galaxy Battleship received bonuses of at least ten times this amount.
However, the players are already very satisfied. Everyone knows the financial situation of Sporting Gijon. Although these 600,000 euros cannot be said to kill the club, it can still cause pain to the president.
Moreover, don’t forget, they are only a team in the Spanish Football League B. The bonus of 600,000 yuan is more than enough among the 22 teams in the Spanish Football League.
*************
Li Ang took the wine glass and strolled to the balcony. He felt a lot more relaxed while enjoying the sea breeze. Hearing the cheers of the players, a smile appeared on his face.
"What are you thinking about?" Benita held the wine glass in her hand and looked at Li Ang. The girl's eyes had a strange beauty under the moonlight.
"It's nothing." Li Ang smiled and clinked glasses with Benita, "I'm just relieved. I can finally relax."
The aftermath of the quarrel between the two people is slowly dissipating. With Sporting Gijon winning the Copa del Rey and now being relegated ahead of schedule, those slight unpleasantness are nothing.
During this period of time, although Benita is still a little immature in the position of general manager of the club, her overall work is still good. The girl has relatively advanced business concepts and is very thoughtful.
What about Li Ang? For a head coach, results are everything.
A 28-year-old head coach and a club general manager who is less than 23 years old are the only ones in the entire Spanish football world.
The two people stood on the balcony, the glass door separating them from the laughter and noise behind them. Li Ang began to feel a little ambiguous and embarrassed. Alice's face was flushed, maybe because she had drunk some wine, and the look in her eyes at this time was
Somewhat confusing.
Li Ang touched his nose, the atmosphere was not very good.
Well, let’s talk about work.
"I went to France some time ago." Li Ang said.
"Well." Benita looked at Li Ang deeply, feeling a little resentful in her heart. She did it again, this coward, "I saw the report document, you signed a French player."
"Yes." Li Ang nodded, "A twenty-one-year-old French young man, a young man with great potential and future."
"But I saw that he seemed to be just a player in the French third division." Benita frowned.
"What happened to the C-League?" Li Ang shrugged, "Maguire is still in the amateur league. My vision..."
Benita burst into laughter, "Okay, I know you want to talk about your vision. Since you are optimistic about it, that's fine."
"The main reason is that I didn't spend a penny in transfer fees. If I had spent money, I don't believe you would still be so easy to talk to." Li Ang said half-jokingly.
Benita glanced at Li Ang, but did not deny what Li Ang said. She really did not intend to interfere with signings that did not cost a penny and whose salary was within the normal range.
"So, I have a question." Li Ang gave Benita a deep look, "How much transfer fee can the club provide during this transfer period?"
*************
Li Ang originally planned to wait a few days and take time to discuss the transfer funds with Benita.
The team has successfully avoided relegation, and the most important task now is to start preparing for next season.
For the players, relegation has been successful. Although there are still four rounds of league games, the season can almost be declared to end early, and they can prepare to enjoy the holidays.
However, for the team's head coach, this means that Li Ang will be even busier. This season, he took over the team midway, and there was no warm-up preparation at all.
Fighting to avoid relegation.
The next season will be a normal full season for Li Ang, and he will now start preparing for next season.
The team's signings and strength additions are the key to the team's preparation for next season.
Since you want to sign players, you need transfer funds. Furthermore, the amount of transfer funds also determines the quality of the signings. You cannot expect and rely on Li Ang to always be able to poach little monsters like Ribery for free.
.
Besides, even little monsters are not free. People like Ribery are just special cases among special cases.
Those little monsters who come to fight also need to spend money.
Upon hearing Li Ang's question, Benita did not give an answer immediately. Instead, she invited Li Ang to sit in the small booth on the balcony. This was a posture to discuss in detail.
"Li, what do you think about the team's next season?" Benita asked.
"Of course it's an upgrade." Li Ang said directly without the slightest hesitation, seeming to take the upgrade as a matter of course, "I believe this is also the club's goal."
Benita also nodded, and was not surprised at all by Li Ang's answer. In fact, for Sporting Gijon, a 'traditional powerhouse' in La Liga, promotion to La Liga has always been their goal.
At the beginning of this season, Sporting Gijon was also considered one of the popular teams for promotion. However, the development of this team was beyond people's expectations. If Li Ang hadn't taken over the team midway and turned the tide, this team would
The team is very likely to be relegated to Spain's third division.
However, under Li Ang, Sporting Gijon has regained its true character as a 'strong team' in Segunda División, proving that they indeed have the strength to compete for promotion places.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Ang bluntly stated that the goal is to upgrade.
*************
"Although the team is in good shape now, we have not lost a game for three months, and we also won the game against the league leader Levante." Li Ang said, "But if we use the current lineup to hit next season's
It is very difficult to upgrade your quota.”
Li Ang saw Benita's expression of incomprehension. He knew that although Benita might have good abilities in business operations, she really didn't know much about football.
"In the past three months of the second half of the season, we can be said to be a dark horse." Li Ang said, "What is a dark horse? It suddenly exerts force and surprises people. They don't understand us, don't pay enough attention to us, or even despise us. These are also some games.
Part of the reason why we were able to win.”
"Next season, everyone will know that Sporting Gijon aims to upgrade, and the team is no longer mysterious to them, not just those teams that also aim to upgrade, almost
All opponents will be more cautious when facing us. The difficulty of the game will also increase."
Listening to Li Ang talking freely, Benita remained silent. Only then did she interrupt and said, "You mean, the team's current lineup cannot cope with next season?"
"That's right." Li Ang nodded, "If you look at it from a perspective that satisfies me, the current team can only be considered barely qualified."
"I'm not satisfied with some key positions."
"Well, the defense, midfield, and forward line are all still not satisfactory to me."
Benita seemed a little surprised when she heard what Li Ang said. She didn't expect that Li Ang's evaluation of the team was only barely qualified. You know, this is the team that defeated Real Madrid in the final of the King's Cup. What do you think?
How high are the team’s requirements?!
Benita glanced at Li Ang with some surprise. She even suspected that Li Ang was scaremongering in order to ask for more transfer funds.
The corner of Li Ang's mouth curled up, "Do you think I'm alarmist?"
"No." Benita said immediately, thinking that she was trying to read people's hearts.
"So, back to the question just now." Li Ang spread his hands, "How much transfer funds can the club provide? I'm talking about the highest amount possible!"
