The next day, the newspapers and media in Gijon were full of reports about the game.
After losing in the Spanish Super Cup and losing two consecutive games in the league, the media and fans in Gijon were very worried. After the joy of returning to La Liga, they began to worry about the team's prospects for the new season. They could not
I hope that after one season the team will return to the Spanish Second Division in despair.
This 4-1 victory against the Czech team Olomouc can be said to be a timely victory. The team won its first victory of the new season and the pressure can be relieved.
Especially in this game, the three newly joined players, Diego Milito, Modric and Di Natale, were full of firepower, and Ribery, who had been criticized before, seemed to suddenly understand. During the game
He contributed two assists. All in all, such a victory was great in terms of both the process and the result.
"Voice of Gijon" reporter Mitra also stood up and sang praises for Li Ang at the right time, "...I always maintain confidence in coach Li Ang. His vision is unquestionable. Those who question the team's performance in the summer transfer window
As for the signings, I believe that the next thing to do is to applaud the outstanding performance of the players... Sporting Gijon had a bad start, which is directly related to the team's lineup changes and insufficient integration.
I believe that as the league progresses, Coach Li Ang will not let us down."
As Liang's loyal 'partner', "Voice of Gijon" is regarded by some as Liang's absolute supporter and mouthpiece, while reporter Mitra is considered Liang's loyal lackey. This person is always worried about Liang's impending
Praising and praising. In the eyes of those media who hate Li Ang, this media is simply too unscrupulous and is simply licking Li Ang.
"Voice of Gijon" paid no attention to the criticisms and complaints of those colleagues. The other media just said that the grapes were sour because they were not even qualified to kneel down and lick them. Li Ang didn't care about them——
They have now tasted the benefits of supporting Li Ang. "Voice of Gijon" is the only cooperative media designated by Li Ang. This alone is enough to expand their market share a lot. You know, in this city
, Li Ang’s influence is huge. They praise Li Ang and the team, and the fans like to watch it.
***********
Seeing the benefits brought by what "Voice of Gijon" has done, other media in Gijon are not idle either.
"News de Gijon" even devoted two pages to praising Sporting Gijon's signings this summer.
They praised the players introduced by Li Ang so much that they were even a bit disgusting.
But the fact is that the players Li Ang introduced all performed well.
Needless to say, Diego Milito had scored a goal in a match against Valencia before, one of the few highlights of Sporting Gijon in the Spanish Super Cup. In this game, Milito allowed the defender to
His Czechs struggled very hard and managed to score a goal, the own goal from Olomouc, which was also attributed to Milito.
This 25-year-old Argentinian striker worth 1.5 million euros, whom Li Ang strongly promoted, has now begun to show his strength. In time, he will be better integrated into the team and will become a trustworthy striker for Sporting Gijon.
weapons.
Di Natale's back-heel goal allowed people to see the spirituality of this Italian who is about to turn 27. Such a goal and such a player with such characteristics are deeply loved by Spanish fans who advocate the artistic football style.
like.
Grosso is also a new player. The performance of this left back is not as conspicuous as that of his Italian compatriot, but he is also very important. Perhaps he is still adapting to the style of Spanish football, or it is the arrangement of head coach Li Ang. He is tall and tall.
Rosso's assists were not big, but his defense was very skillful and he did not give his opponent any chance.
Needless to say, Albertini, the former AC Milan star is the midfield metronome of Sporting Gijon. With him on the court, Sporting Gijon's offense began to improve. After the football passed under the feet of this Milan veteran, it immediately
becomes clear.
Although the central defender partners Hierro and Pepe are still getting used to each other and need to strengthen their tacit understanding, Pepe's performance is good and his header ability is not bad. He did not give his opponents any high-altitude ball opportunities during the game, and Pepe was on top
It is more accurate to grab the blocking position, although sometimes it is a little rough. However, the importance of introducing Hierro comes out at this time. With the experienced Hierro beside him to help make up for the leaks, this pair of central defenders is still relatively reliable.
***********
In addition, Franck Ribery, who was introduced from the lower-level French league, played relatively uniquely in the first few games, but his characteristics are still relatively distinct, and his breakthroughs from the wing are very sharp. In this game, I don’t know what the head coach Li Ang used.
What method was able to make Ribery change his playing style and start passing the ball? He came on as a substitute and provided two assists. His performance was very good.
And Modric, who came on as a substitute, played with precision and scored with a long shot, which was also unforgettable.
As for the Serbian black man Ivanovic who came on as a substitute, he has not impressed anyone yet. This is also because of too little playing time.
Others, such as substitute goalkeeper Handanovic and 16-year-old Benzema, were temporarily ignored by the media because of the special position of the goalkeeper and because they were too young.
In a word, Li Ang's signings, which had been criticized by the media before, immediately shut up due to a victory. Instead, they gave all kinds of praises in a disgusting manner. Almost overnight, Li Ang's "eyes on people" were revealed.
The magic is back...
***********
After the game against Olomouc, Li Ang gave the team a half-day off, but he had no rest time. He needed to start working immediately to face the third round of the league three days later.
In the third round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will visit Zaragoza.
This is a tough one!
Zaragoza has an old grudge against Sporting Gijon. To be precise, it has an old grudge against Leon's Sporting Gijon. In last season's Copa del Rey, Zaragoza met Sporting Gijon in the semi-finals. At that time, everyone
Everyone thought that Zaragoza would easily eliminate Sporting Gijon and then meet Real Madrid in the final at the Bernabeu. However, Zaragoza fell humiliatingly at the feet of Sporting Gijon!
Yes, it was a shame. Zaragoza people thought it was a shame to be eliminated by a Spanish second division team like Sporting Gijon. At that time, Zaragoza was ridiculed by the Spanish media.
Later, Real Madrid was reversed and lost by Sporting Gijon in the Copa del Rey final, and the media began to laugh at Real Madrid. At that time, Zaragoza was laughed at less. After all, compared to Zaragoza, Real Madrid
At our home court, losing to Sporting Gijon in the final was the biggest upset and fun.
Despite this, Zaragoza people still cannot forget the shame of being eliminated by Sporting Gijon.
After the new season's La Liga schedule is released, Zaragoza people are looking forward to the game against Sporting Gijon.
They want to get back on their feet.
***********
And as this game approaches, Zaragoza's media is also filled with voices of revenge.
Previously, Sporting Gijon lost two games in a row in the league, and the media in Zaragoza were not idle, jumping around and adding insult to injury and ridiculing the newly promoted Gijon.
Sporting Gijon's poor start gave Zaragoza people a reason to defend themselves. It was a complete accident that they were eliminated by Sporting Gijon last season. Now, they have to wash away the shame caused by this accident.
The media in Zaragoza even issued an appeal, believing that Zaragoza must beat Sporting Gijon by more than 5-0 in this game and give Sporting Gijon a disastrous defeat in order to avenge their shame: even Mallorca
They can beat Sporting Gijon 2-0, Zaragoza beat Sporting Gijon by more than five goals, how difficult is this?!
The media called "Zaragoza Free Press" even cited many reasons to prove the possibility of a big victory over Sporting Gijon.
Firstly, Sporting Gijon are in trouble, as can be seen from their four-match losing streak since the start of the season.
Secondly, the level of the Chinese coach is limited. After half a season, after the mystery surrounding the Chinese coach is removed, there are only two brushes. This person is nothing to be afraid of.
The third point is that the boys in Zaragoza are eager for revenge. The players are in good condition, their morale is high, and their military morale is available.
The fourth point is that if Zaragoza beats Sporting Gijon, then Sporting Gijon’s head coach Li Ang, who has lost three consecutive games at the beginning of the league, will have a more difficult life, and may even be fired. This will be very satisfying.
Already.
"Zaragoza Free Press" also specifically stated that regarding this fourth point, many Zaragoza players also agreed, and they were gearing up to send the Sporting Gijon coach to the last stop in person, in order to exact revenge.
You know, after Zaragoza was eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Sporting Gijon last season, the head coach of Zaragoza was fired. Although the head coach took the blame, this is also a great loss to those players and this club.
Such humiliation.
They want revenge, and what better way to retaliate than to give Sporting Gijon a disastrous defeat and make the Chinese lose his job?!
***********
On September 19, 2004, Li Ang led the team to Zaragoza to prepare for the away game in the third round of the league.
In the hotel where he was staying, assistant coach Scott Terry was allocating rooms.
Li Ang was busy talking on the phone with Alice.
After a while, Scottrey came back, holding a newspaper in his hand, but he hesitated to speak.
Li Ang said goodbye to Alice in a hurry and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Li, look at it." Scott Rui handed the newspaper to Li Ang angrily.
"What?" Li Ang took it. This was a local Zaragoza newspaper. On the front page, there was a bold headline: Kick the Chinese's ass!
There is also a cartoon below, with the words "Get out of class" written on it. The important thing is that this cartoon is a sallow-faced Qing Dynasty man with long braids kneeling down in front of a big-nosed European...
At this moment, assistant coach Banderas also ran in, holding a thick stack of newspapers in his hand, "It's too much, it's too much, they actually put such newspapers in every room...
"
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the other party was deliberately irritating him and showing it to him. Because he was not sure which room he would stay in, he simply put a copy of this humiliation in all the rooms booked by Sporting Gijon.
Sex newspaper.
Li Ang stared at the newspaper in his hand, staring at the ugly caricature, his face was extremely gloomy, and there was a fire burning strongly in his chest...
He was angered.
