The enthusiasm of the whole Gijon was mobilized by Li Ang.
The fans of Sporting Gijon, who were already very satisfied after being relegated successfully and planned to enjoy the rest of the season with a relaxed attitude, suddenly discovered that the team actually still had hope of promotion, and they heard it with their own eyes on TV.
Head coach Li Ang categorically expressed his ambition to hit La Liga, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
In the past two days, the media in Gijon have been talking about the team's promotion prospects and the last two rounds of the Spanish Second Division.
No one would have thought that at this stage of the season, they would have rekindled their hope of promotion. This is really unexpected and a real surprise.
It was precisely because it was unexpected that the surprise came even more intensely.
Even Sporting Gijon is surrounded by this atmosphere of expectation and tension.
Club general manager Benita Arango specifically found Li Ang and asked about the possibility of the team's upgrade. Li Ang naturally told the truth when facing Benita, "We can only do our job well and do our best as much as possible."
Just win the next two games and leave the rest to God."
Benita heard this and nodded to express understanding. This is not that Li Ang is pessimistic, but it just shows Li Ang's fighting spirit. Let's be ourselves! We will have no regrets!
Li Ang then asked Benita half-jokingly, if the team can really enter La Liga, then whether there can be some additional funds in the transfer budget...
Benita did not give a definite answer to this, but promised to consider it.
Li Ang was a little helpless. His intuition told him that even if he entered La Liga, it would be impossible to obtain more signing funds. Of course, it was impossible for the club not to add any additional funds, but he wanted to have any surprises.
', it's better not to count on it.
Sporting Gijon has spent a lot of money on signings in the past few seasons, but has never been able to achieve success in La Liga. The results are not directly proportional to the investment, which has greatly dragged down the team's finances. Now it is to pay off the debts of the previous seasons.
The debts incurred under the management of several head coaches have affected him, causing the current financial crisis. Li Ang really wanted to curse, but he felt uncomfortable holding it back.
*************
At this time, the 2003/2004 La Liga season has ended.
Valencia won the La Liga championship, Barcelona and Deportivo were ranked second and third, while Real Madrid was only ranked fourth in the end. For the Galacticos, a qualification for the European Champions Cup next season may not be possible.
There is no way to hide this season in which all four major players are empty.
In addition, the European Champions League has also been played.
This season's European Champions Cup is an absolute dark horse.
In the quarter-finals of La Liga, Super League Deportivo suffered a 1-4 away defeat at the feet of Serie A giant AC Milan. When everyone was cheering for the Rossoneri, they thought that Deportivo would definitely be eliminated.
, Deportivo defeated the Serie A giants 4-0 at home in the second round. This super reversal also shocked the entire European football world. 'Super Deportivo' is famous in Europe.
However, the biggest dark horse this season is not Deportivo La Coruña, but the two teams that reached the final: Porto from the Portuguese Super League and Monaco from Ligue 1.
Two teams that no one expected met in the finals.
Then in the final, Porto, led by a Portuguese man named Jose Mourinho, defeated Monaco, a dark horse from France, and stood on top of Europe.
At that time, Li Ang was watching the Champions League final in front of the TV. Seeing the scene of the man named Jose Mourinho rushing into the court with fists to celebrate winning the European championship, Li Ang turned off the TV.
For European football, 2004 was a watershed. In the summer of this year, the order was briefly overturned. Then, a new and more powerful order was established, and many figures who later dominated football stood up...
This is an era where heroes emerge in large numbers!
Li Ang was a little excited: What role will he play in this great era?!
Veterans such as Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Capello are still growing in power. Ancelotti of the Mesozoic era and the guy named Mourinho have already risen. In the future, there will be a bald man named Guardiola...
…And Klopp, and Simeone…
They are all my enemies?!
Really been waiting.
*************
La Liga comes to an end.
The European Champions Cup also gave birth to a new European hegemon.
Nowadays, only La Liga is still playing in Spanish football, so the media pays more attention to La Liga than before.
Upgrades and downgrades are what get the most attention.
Considering that the influence of Spain's C1 league is really negligible, the promotion battle is obviously the one that attracts the most attention.
Then, the media was extremely shocked to discover that Sporting Gijon, led by a Chinese, still had hope of qualifying for the promotion play-offs with two rounds left in the league.
This immediately attracted the attention of many media in Spain. It is a big topic for a Chinese to coach a Spanish second division team, and this Chinese coach also led Sporting Gijon to defeat Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey. This made Liang
It has received a lot of attention before, but now, the team led by this Chinese man actually has hope of being promoted to La Liga!
This is really shocking!
Thanks to the media's hype, when Li Ang took over Sporting Gijon, everyone now knows the bad situation of this team. Therefore, now Li Ang actually brings Sporting Gijon to the area competing for the promotion play-offs. This is simply
It can be said to be a miracle.
Moreover, Li Ang previously led Sporting Gijon to win the Copa del Rey, which won Li Ang a reputation. At the same time, there were also some voices who believed that the cup was too accidental. Li Ang led Sporting Gijon to win the Copa del Rey, which shows that
This Chinese person does have some abilities, but considering the special nature of the cup, don't overestimate this Chinese person's coaching level.
These are the media who have old grudges with Li Ang. They cannot criticize Li Ang directly. After all, the results of Li Ang's team are there and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Therefore, they secretly changed the concept and used the cup competition's results.
The "characteristics" that are more accidental are trying to explain that Li Ang's "level is not that good"...
However, these people had not finished speaking. As La Liga entered the final stage, Li Ang led Sporting Gijon to develop silently. Suddenly, with a thunder, the Chinese coach announced that his team still had hope to enter La Liga. He announced that he hoped
Hong Jingjing’s ambitions for La Liga!
For those who 'stealthly change concepts' and go out of their way to belittle Li Ang's abilities, this is nothing more than a slap in the face!
You said cup matches are accidental, so, well, let’s look at the league: it took four months to bring a team that was almost certain to be relegated to seventh place in the league, with two rounds left in the league.
, and compete for qualifications for the promotion play-offs. How is this coaching resume?!
It’s eye-catching enough!
And what Li Ang said at the press conference after the game against Las Palmas also caused a lot of hype in the media.
His words, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway," also caused a discussion among Spanish people. Some fans, especially young fans, thought this sentence was extremely cool.
This sentence first became popular among fans in Gijon, and then began to spread among young people in other cities in Spain. For a while, it actually became quite fashionable. (To be continued.)
