Gijon, the northernmost seaport city in Spain, is in a state of turmoil.
This is a very ordinary bar, full of people.
These are fans who did not get tickets, so they can only crowd in the bar to watch the game and cheer for their beloved team.
The news was playing on the TV on the suspended shelf in the bar.
"The Spanish Football Federation dismissed Sporting Gijon's appeal over the red card received by team captain Miguel Cobas in the first leg against Getafe. Regarding this result, Sporting Gijon coach Li Ang refused to comment
Any comments!”
"Christopher, a well-known refereeing expert, expressed his opinion on Cobas's red card. He believed that the red card was indeed too harsh."
"Getafe head coach Ace Cedra expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's enforcement in the first round. He insisted that a valid goal of Getafe was disallowed by the referee."
"Getafe President Torres lashed out at the referee's enforcement. He said that he would watch the referee's enforcement with open eyes for the second round."
"Sporting de Gijón head coach Leon expressed suspicion that Mr. Torres and Escedela have eye problems."
"Mr. Manuel Arango, chairman of Sporting Gijon, expressed his support for coach Li Ang. He said that everyone saw that Getafe's so-called goal was offside. Only people with bad eyesight would.
Hold on to wrong views.”
***********
"Well done!" The fans in the bar cheered loudly for the words of coach Leon and chairman Arango Sr., while at the same time they began to criticize the Getafe people for being shameless.
"The Spanish Football Association Referee Committee appointed Lahoz to officiate the second leg of the promotion play-off final between Sporting Gijon and Getafe at home. Lahoz has officiated five La Liga games and 15 La Liga games this season. In addition,
In the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona at home, Lahoz served as the linesman for the game..."
Before the game between Sporting Gijon and Getafe is about to start this night, the issue of the referee's enforcement has also become the focus of media attention and speculation.
Getafe took advantage of the situation and did not behave well. They criticized the referee's law enforcement. Obviously, they wanted to influence the referee's law enforcement in this away game.
As for Sporting Gijon, head coach Leon and the club president also went shirtless. However, they did not directly criticize the referee. Instead, they pointed the finger at Getafe and started a verbal spat with the people of Getafe.
"There are still two hours until the start of the game. Let's look at some other news." On the TV, the screen changed with the announcer's voice.
"Alaves Club announced that the team's head coach McCarronal has dismissed his job. The disastrous defeat at the hands of Sporting Gijon in the promotion play-off semi-finals is the most direct reason for this gentleman's dismissal. This is already Alaves's reason for dismissing him.
The team that lost to Liang fired its head coach for the second time. McCronal's predecessor, Olic, was fired by the club after leading the team to be eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Liang's Sporting Gijon! Sporting Gijon's head coach
Mr. Li Ang's nickname of 'fellow killer' is well deserved."
"The following is another piece of news related to Sporting Gijon. Francisco Parada, a former talented star of Sporting Gijon's B team, was recently terminated by Real Madrid's under-17 youth team A. This former Sporting Gijon star, represented
In the eleven games Real Madrid played, they only scored one goal and had no assists..."
Seeing this news, the fans of Sporting Gijon were all sighing. At that time, the fans even had conflicts with Leon because of Parada's expulsion from Liang. Many fans insisted that Parada was the one who played for Sporting Gijon in Villa.
Then there was another supernova, but Li Ang insisted on exchanging Parada for former Real Madrid player Juan Mata. This deal was highly questioned at the time, but now? Mata is already the main player of Sporting Gijon's first team.
He is Sporting Gijon's sharpest offensive weapon and is deeply loved by the fans. However, the original talented boy Parada has been terminated by Real Madrid...
"Finally, the weather report is that the maximum temperature in Gijon at night is 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. There is a possibility of rainfall, and the rainfall can reach moderate to heavy rain."
After hearing the weather forecast, many fans began to worry. If it really rains heavily, this game will become difficult for the team.
***********
The rain has fallen.
"This damn weather." Pepe kept complaining during the game.
He and Mendes had just left the hotel and were about to leave for El Molinon Stadium, home of Sporting Gijon, when it started to rain.
The rain on the beach has a fishy smell.
The two got into the taxi. Mendes looked at the rain outside the window and was thinking about how coach Li Ang would respond to this game.
"Hey, you guys are so lucky," the taxi driver said, "I'll get off work after this trip."
Mendes looked at the time and saw that it was just before six o'clock in the evening. "Do all taxis in Gijon leave work so early?"
"No, no, no, today is a special day." the taxi driver said.
"Are you a Sporting Gijon fan?" Mendes understood immediately and asked.
"Of course, everyone in this city is a Gijon fan!" the driver said proudly, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"El Molinon," Mendez said.
"Really? That's great." The driver said happily, "It's great. I can go directly to the stadium to watch the game."
***********
Pepe was silent on the sidelines, not because he didn't want to interrupt, but because he didn't understand Spanish!
Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country, and Pepe only speaks Portuguese because he came to Portugal to play football after leaving Brazil, and his mother tongue is Portuguese. Therefore, Pepe doesn’t even speak English. There is no need to learn.
"You'd better learn Spanish as soon as possible." Mendes glanced at Pepe, "It will be of great help to you to master the language of the country where you are in the league."
Pepe scratched his head, obviously finding it difficult to learn and master a new language. However, he also knew that Mendes was right. If he wanted to truly gain a foothold in Sporting Gijon, he had to pass the language barrier.
Yes, Pepe has now accepted and recognized the result of the transfer to Sporting Gijon. Mendes' previous self-confidence was correct. Mendes analyzed the benefits of transferring to Sporting Gijon to Pepe, such as
The coach appreciates you very much. There is a UEFA Cup to play in, and the team may play in La Liga next season. In addition, Mendes told Pepe without hesitation that Porto's new head coach Adrianse may not appreciate him.
The whole process took five minutes, and Pepe agreed to transfer to Gijon...
Arriving at the square platform outside El Molinon Stadium, the place was already crowded. Everyone was waiting to enter.
"We can't get in," the taxi driver said. "We can only stay here. You'd better get in line now. The stadium is full today."
"Thank you." Mendes thanked him, then turned to speak to Pepe in Portuguese.
Peipei's eyes widened and she looked confused: Is this really what happened?!
Mendes glared at Pepe, who scratched his head and seemed to accept his fate.
***********
"Hello, what's your name? I can see that you are a super fan of Gijon." Mendes suddenly asked the taxi driver.
"Badel Kure." Bader Kure nodded proudly, "I am Coach Li Ang's full-time taxi driver."
Mendes' mouth opened wide. He didn't expect that the taxi he called at random was actually the head coach of Sporting Gijon's professional taxi driver. This was really... interesting.
He could see that Mr. Baderkure was so proud when he said that he was 'Coach Liang's full-time taxi driver'.
"Mr. Badercoore," Mendez said, "can you teach the boy next to me to speak a few words in Spanish?"
Badercoure was stunned, you speak Spanish so fluently, why do you want me to teach him?
"Because your identity may be very suitable." Mendes said, "I hope he can become a supporter of Sporting Gijon. It is most suitable for a super fan like you to teach him how to speak."
"Ah, of course." Baderkure smiled, "I'm happy to oblige." He felt that the two passengers he had brought here today were really interesting.
***********
"What did I teach him?" Badercoure asked Mendez.
"I love Sporting Gijon!" Mendes said.
"I love Sporting Gijon," Badercoure said to Pepe.
"I love..." Pepe.
"You should speak slower," Mendes said.
"Okay." Baderkure shrugged helplessly, "I love Xihong athletics!"
"I-love-Rafa-" Pepe said.
"Idiot." Bader Kure cursed, and then continued to talk to this stupid apprentice.
In this way, it took about two minutes for the idiot Pepe to learn this Spanish sentence: I love Sporting Gijon!
Baderkure was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely. He felt that he would be even more tired after running a long distance. He was really out of his mind. How could he agree to do such a troublesome thing?
"I love Sporting Gijon!" Pepe said again, and then said thank you to Badercoure in English.
Of course, Badercoore understands the English thank you. When he hears the other party's thank you, Badercoore's irritation just now disappears. Well, does this mean he has developed a new fan?!
***********
When he was saying goodbye and leaving, Pepe suddenly took out a notebook from his backpack, picked up a pen, and wrote a line of words crookedly, then tore off the paper and handed it to Bader Kure.
"What is this?" Baderkure asked.
Pepe said in Portuguese.
"He said this was his signature," Mendez translated.
"Signature?" Baderkure was confused. Who are you? I don't care about your signature?!
By the time he reacted, Mendes and Pepe had already walked away.
Badercoure looked at the piece of paper on his hand and the crooked Portuguese text he didn't recognize, and wanted to throw it away, but for some reason, he didn't throw it away in the end, but stuffed it into his glove.
In the box.
The time is almost up, and he has to line up quickly to enter the stadium. The game is about to start.
