Chapter 299 List of urgent requests for monthly tickets
At the Maleo training base the next day, Li Ang secretly asked his assistant Scott Rui, "Has Benita come to the base today?"
Scotry said casually, "Ms. Arango seems to have taken a leave of absence and will not be able to come today."
"Are you asking for leave?" Li Ang first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt inexplicably worried and asked, "Is there any reason?"
Scott Rui shook his head and said he didn't know either.
A few minutes later, Li Ang smoked a cigarette, rubbed his hair with a headache, and finally called Benita. The phone kept ringing until the busy signal, but no one answered.
Then he received a text message, which was from Benita.
"Is something wrong?"
"I heard you asked for leave?"
"Well."
"What's wrong?"
"My mouth is on fire."
Well, Li Ang twitched his face, bared his teeth, and didn't reply to the message. The other party didn't send any more messages.
Li Ang looked up and looked out the window. He saw green grass and blue sky, and the scenery was very good. He then washed his face, put all the bad things aside, and forced himself to focus on work. He remembered what Benita said.
The relationship between the two remained as usual, somewhat silent... I hope so. He murmured uncertainly.
***********
This is the last day of training before the match day, and Li Ang needs to announce the squad for the match.
The day's training has ended, and everyone can relax. Franck Ribery is joking with his teammates. The Frenchman is a pistachio, likes fun and some small humor, and has a good relationship with everyone. Another Frenchman, Xiao
Benzema was a little absent-minded and looked to the sidelines from time to time.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Ribery hugged Benzema, "Miss your little girlfriend?"
Benzema immediately argued, "No."
Then everyone burst into laughter.
Although Benzema is only over 16 years old, he already has a girlfriend, a 14-year-old French girl. However, Benzema came to Spain to play football, and he and his girlfriend are now "separated".
Ribery has been joking that after returning to France, his girlfriend has already found a new love.
Li Ang, who was communicating in a low voice with two assistants on the sidelines, glanced here and looked at the somewhat distracted Benzema, but he smiled. The French kid has not had a chance to play since he came to the team.
Well, he didn't even make the 18-man squad for the competition. Now, Benzema must be very anxious.
During today's training, the team's substitute forward David Lago suffered a slight injury. This seemed to give Benzema hope of being included in the game squad, so the little guy was a little absent-minded.
Li Ang has already discussed with the team doctor Mr. Lotaro. David Lago's problem is not big. He can be included in the squad for tomorrow's game against Espanyol. Of course, this depends on the decision of head coach Li Ang.
, if Li Ang lets Lago rest and recuperate, then that's not a bad idea. It depends on the head coach's intention.
***********
Finally, it was time to reveal everything. Benzema watched the head coach approach.
"Announcing the roster for tomorrow's match." Li Yang held up the paper in his hand, and the training ground became quiet.
, Modric, Marcos, striker..." After reading this, Li Ang raised his head and glanced at everyone.
"Milito." The first thing that came out was the name of Argentina forward Diego Milito.
The Argentinian smiled. He has now firmly established himself as the team's main force. Milito is now very grateful and happy to be spotted by coach Li Ang and come to play for Sporting Gijon. This stage is comparable to what he did in Serie B.
The stage of the league is much broader.
"Di Natale!"
Di Natale also smiled. He is also very satisfied with his current life in Gijon. He is gradually adapting to the team's tactics and even feels a little at home. In addition, the most important thing is that the main
Coach Li Ang values him very much.
Diego Milito and Di Natale are now basically Sporting Gijon's fixed strike combination.
"Megur Pihra!"
McGuer Pihra nodded. As one of the oldest players on the team, he was the hero of the team’s promotion last season. Although due to physical reasons, it is unlikely that he can play the whole game now, but his head
With his ball ability, he is also capable of being a qualified substitute.
Seventeen of the eighteen-man roster have been read out now, so the remaining one should be another substitute forward.
***********
Benzema only felt that his heartbeat was speeding up and even his breathing was a little short.
Li Ang took off the list, looked at everyone and said the name of the last person: "Benzema."
There was a whistle from the team. This was Ribery. While blowing the whistle, Ribery put his arms around Benzema's neck and rubbed the little guy's hair vigorously.
Other teammates also came over to congratulate Benzema.
As for David Lago, his expression was relatively calm. Apparently, he also learned in advance that the coach had asked him to rest for this round.
When Benzema heard his name, he widened his eyes and looked at the teammates around him who were congratulating him - he had always been eager to enter the game squad and play in the game, but when this moment really came
At that time, the sixteen-year-old Benzema couldn't believe it again.
Finally, when he realized that he had made the squad, the little guy was happy and slightly proud. He even frowned at Ribery pretending to be reserved, "Frank, you messed up my hair."
Everyone laughed. It was really funny that this little guy acted like a primary school student who was being praised and was deliberately trying to be cool and pretend not to care.
***********
The next day, the El Molinon Stadium was packed with people. The team's 8-0 away game against Zaragoza greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the fans. At this home court, the stadium was full without any surprise.
“According to the squad list we just received from both sides, we found that Karim Mustafa Benzema, a 16-year-old young player introduced by Sporting Gijon from French Ligue 1 team Lyon this summer, appears on this list.
"In the commentary box, commentator D'Agostino noticed a very important change in Sporting Gijon's 18-man roster.
"The sixteen-year-old guy... has no record of playing for Sporting Gijon before. I admit that coach Li Ang has always had a good eye for people, but, to be honest, for this sixteen-year-old French guy
I am not optimistic about the prospects in Gijon. The previous Mata and Carlos are our local players and know Spanish football very well. However, Benzema, it is a pity that a little French guy came overseas like this.
In terms of football, I am not optimistic about Benzema's future career in Gijon." Another commentator, Gonzalez, said this.
D'Agostino also nodded, "The combination of Milito and Di Natale, the Argentinian and the Italian, performed really well, but coach Li Ang should introduce an experienced person to the bench in the transfer market.
of players, he finally introduced this 16-year-old French guy, which was an extremely risky move. I think Coach Li Ang can consider filling in some positions in the winter. After all, they have more
Line combat."
This sentence was actually put very euphemistically. What D'Agostino meant was that Li Ang should stop placing his hopes on a 16-year-old youngster. He needs to strengthen the depth of the bench on the front line and introduce reliable substitute players.
When the two commentators made very unfavorable comments about Benzema, who had entered the squad for the game, Benzema was sitting in the home team's locker room, feeling a little restless.
He was nervous.
ps: Second update. In the last two hours of November, the monthly ticket list was completely destroyed at the last moment. I beg you for your monthly ticket support. (To be continued.)
