What is the most beautiful Spanish city on the Atlantic coast? Most people's answer would be San Sebastian. But Gijon is also very beautiful, with a quiet port, a lively fish market, and artistic beaches... I'm used to it.
In addition to the uniform rules and neatness of ports in northern Spain, the harmonious coexistence of the Old Port of Gijon, the city, and the sea will always make people find a trace of tranquility in the busy life of the city. In busy seasons, the Old Port of Gijon will always bring quiet beauty.
In fact, this city also has a very special destination for Sporting Gijon - the Molinon Stadium.
This stadium is currently the oldest stadium in Spain and even Europe. The Molinon Stadium began hosting football matches as early as 1908. This home stadium of Sporting Gijon can accommodate 30,000 people. The stadium has a beautiful shape and matches the river flowing outside the stadium.
The appearance gives people a beautiful enjoyment. In the 1982 World Cup, the Federal Republic of Germany used Gijon as their base. They played 3 games here and successfully qualified in the group. Many music stars in the world will also use Gijon as their base.
As an important stop on the tour, from the Rolling Stones to Bon Jovi to Paul McCartney, Molinon Stadium also has a high status in the art world.
The residence arranged by Sporting Gijon for Leon is relatively close to the Maleo training base. Of course, it is not far from the Molinon Stadium, because the two places are relatively close to each other.
Li Ang's dormitory building is in an apartment about 600 to 700 meters outside the training base, and the straight-line distance between the back door of the apartment and the side door of the Maleo training base is only 300 meters. Come in from the side door and plant along a road on both sides.
A short walk along Fatong's path is the office building of the Maleo training base.
It is said to be an office building, but it is actually a three-story building.
The scale and construction of Sporting Gijon's training base are naturally incomparable to those of the giant Real Madrid.
On the first day he arrived in Gijon, Li Ang, accompanied by a staff member, walked around the Maleo training base and got familiar with the environment.
On the second day, which was also his first official day at work in Gijon, Li Ang did not come directly to the training base. He had to report to the Molinon Stadium first, which is also where the Sporting Gijon office building is located.
The distance from the dormitory to Molinon Stadium is about less than two miles. Li Ang simply walked there directly. Gijon is a beautiful port city, and the sea breeze in the morning also carries a faint salty smell.
In the general manager's office on the third floor, Li Ang met the general manager of Sporting Gijon, Alexander Elroyd, a fat, semi-bald man who was tall and looked very impressive.
Alexander Elroyd is also sizing up Li Ang. He knows the Chinese quite well because Mr. Arango, the club chairman, personally called yesterday and asked him to inquire about a man who is said to be the head coach of Real Madrid's under-17 youth team A.
Elroyd was surprised at the time about the young Chinese coach. His first reaction was that the chairman was joking. A Chinese, or a young man, serves as the head coach of Real Madrid cadete_a? How is that possible!
However, the results of subsequent inquiries shocked Elroyd. There was actually a young Chinese working for Real Madrid cadet_a. Moreover, according to the information he inquired about, this Chinese had quite good work performance. He had just led the team for three years in the last game.
A big win over Barcelona cadete_a, and what is most incredible to Elroyd is that according to the latest news he learned, the Chinese actually fell out with Real Madrid... fell out! Then, resigned! Resigned!
It is not easy for a coach to join Real Madrid and become a member of this century-old giant. It is conceivable that in Elroyd's eyes, Leon and Real Madrid fell out, which shocked him a little bit.
It is no less than the Chinese taking over the position of head coach of Real Madrid cadete_a, and even the surprise brought by the former is even more exciting.
Of course, what surprised the Sporting Gijon general manager was not only that, but also that after the chairman asked him about the Chinese, he actually called the next day and said that he had hired the Chinese coach.
For the head coach of Sporting Gijon's b team, let him make arrangements.
The position of head coach of the team's B team was indeed vacant a week ago after the previous coach was dismissed due to poor performance. Elroyd was also considering the candidate for the new coach, and had already considered it, but he did not expect that the chairman
My husband actually directly intervened in this matter and arranged for a B-team coach to come over.
Elroyd didn't have any objections to Li Ang because the team chairman suddenly arranged for Li Ang to be the head coach of the B team, which disrupted his arrangement. Since the chairman has made arrangements, he as the general manager can only cooperate. This is his job.
, he has no interest in placing personnel in the B team. For a small club like Sporting Gijon, the most important thing is the first team, always the first team. As long as you control the first team, you control everything!
To his surprise, who was this Chinese? It could be said that he appeared out of nowhere and quietly got the position of head coach of Sporting Gijon B team. He didn't think that Mr. Chairman and Li Ang had known each other before.
I know Mr. Chairman just called him yesterday to inquire about this person.
It is precisely because of understanding these situations that Elroyd is very curious about Leon.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Elroyd took Leon to a small conference room and introduced him to his colleagues and staff.
"This is Mr. Li Ang from China. Starting today, he will serve as the head coach of the B team." Elroyd said.
The club coaches and staff who crowded into the room looked at Li Ang curiously.
Especially the coaches.
In 2004, there were actually not many Chinese tourists in the port city of Gijon. The Chinese seemed to prefer traveling to big cities like Madrid and Barcelona.
It is rare to see Chinese tourists, let alone a Chinese who suddenly appeared at the Molinon Stadium and became his colleague. And he is not an ordinary staff member, he is actually from Sporting Gijon's B team.
Head coach. This naturally gave them a great shock.
Looking at this young Chinese man with black hair and yellow skin, they all felt strange, curious, and surprised. At this time, Li Ang was like a giant panda being watched.
A Chinese, still a young man, is appointed as the head coach of Sporting Gijon's B team. As soon as the news spreads, it will definitely be on the front page of the local media in Gijon. This is the first thought in many people's minds.
Then, the second thought is, do Chinese people understand football?
Everyone looked at this young Chinese man who appeared at the Molinon Stadium with surprised, curious and suspicious eyes. Will this person be the coach of Sporting Gijon's B team?!
In this way, amid everyone's doubts, curiosity, and other complicated looks, Li Ang appeared in front of his colleagues at Sporting Gijon. This young man looked quiet, with a smile on his face, and was quite humble.
The way...it looks so...harmless...
