"I have a question that's bothering me." Li Ang said coldly, "Where did all my players go in the second half of the game? Were they abducted by aliens? Or was it someone who used up all their strength on a woman last night?
, can only play half the game?"
No one expected that their head coach would say such rude words. Some people stared at him with their mouths wide open, while others lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
This is the visiting team's dressing room after Sporting Gijon's away game against Osasuna in the fifth round of La Liga in the 2004/2005 season.
In this game, Sporting Gijon led the home team 2-0 in the first half. Their two-goal lead even maintained until the 80th minute of the game. However, just when everyone thought that Sporting Gijon would usher in La Liga
During the three-game winning streak, Osasuna seemed to be on fire in the last ten minutes of the second half, scoring three goals in a row and winning the game.
Li Ang was completely furious in the locker room.
Except for the players who were on the team last season, these new players saw the angry side of their head coach for the first time. Even in the Spanish Super Cup and when the league started with a total of four consecutive losses, Li Ang never lost his temper.
But this time, he showed his violent side to everyone.
***********
"Tell me, what kind of game did you play in the second half?" Li Ang waved his arms excitedly, "Your performance was shit...Losing is not terrible, I am not afraid of losing, but I can't accept this.
What a way to lose! Think about what you are doing in the second half of the game?!"
Li Ang paused, trying to control his emotions, and then sighed, "Defense! Press the whole court! What do I ask for? Have you done it? Why do you let them get the ball and shoot so easily outside the penalty area?"
What's going on in your heads?"
The players seemed to be frightened when faced with the head coach's roaring and scolding. They sat blankly in their seats, not knowing what to say.
Later, Li Ang did not let these poor guys go, and his roar could be heard even in the corridor outside the locker room.
He was not satisfied with the second half of the game!
He was dissatisfied with the team's defense. After leading 2-0, the whole team relaxed. His request for a full-court press was obviously greatly compromised. The midfielder gave the opponent too much space, and the backline
He doesn't keep an eye on people either.
He was dissatisfied with the team's offense. In Li Ang's view, after leading 2-0, the team's offense was obviously a little careless. Even under such circumstances, the team still had the opportunity to expand the score and completely seal the victory, but
, a great scoring opportunity was wasted!
"You will be punished for wasting opportunities. I hope you all remember this sentence! Do you hear me?"
"The defense sucks!"
"The offense is terrible!"
"You guys rate your performance in the second half of the game, how many points? Three points? Two points? Or one point? Ha, maybe we should thank the referee, no, we should thank the rules of the football game, if the game is 120 minutes
If so, how many more goals will we continue to concede?!"
***********
Li Ang's merciless and bitter taunts made the players feel extremely uncomfortable or dissatisfied. However, no one dared to say anything. Their performance was indeed extremely bad. With a 2-0 lead, they were reversed by their opponents with three goals. This
Is the truth!
"Tomorrow's vacation is cancelled!" Li Ang finally said, "Before the next game ends, everyone, please be careful and don't let me catch you!"
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, especially the players who were on the team last season. At this time, they subconsciously thought of the two unlucky guys who were still in the B team. As for the two veterans Hierro and Albertini.
, they remained silent. They were also angry inside. Naturally they were unhappy to be scolded by Li Ang like this. However, they were more angry and blamed themselves. The team played like that in the second half. As the leader and deputy of the team,
Captain, they are responsible!
Later, Li Ang, who came to the press conference, said this when facing the microphone, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Osasuna. They played well. It was a wonderful game. Of course, our
The players are also great. We played well for 80 minutes, but Osasuna's ten-minute game was even more exciting! In short, this is the charm of football games. You will never know the result until the last minute of the game.
!”
A reporter asked if he was disappointed with the performance of the players. Li Ang shook his head and smiled, "We are a newly promoted team. We have only lost such a game in the last three games. With such a performance, I
very satisfied!"
***********
The next day, the players saw the latest newspapers and saw their head coach's words of 'very satisfied', as well as the photos taken when he said these words. Although they looked at head coach Li Ang with a smile on his face,
But everyone couldn't help but tremble, as they seemed to see the gnashing of teeth behind the smile.
"What the boss wants to say most is 'very dissatisfied'," Mata muttered during training.
"Mata, what did you say?" Li Ang's roar echoed throughout the stadium.
"Ah, it's nothing." Little Mata hurriedly trained seriously.
Li Ang snorted and said nothing more.
Everyone glanced at the black-faced man wearing sunglasses and standing on the sidelines with a cold and gloomy look, and they quickly cheered up. The current coach cannot be messed with.
Not only has the routine half-day holiday been cancelled, but the training intensity has also been increased. The atmosphere in the entire Maleo training base is very depressing and suffocating.
To describe it in one word, it’s like black clouds are threatening to destroy the city!
In this highly tense and high-intensity training, the team ushered in the league's sixth opponent, Athletic Bilbao.
For this game, Sporting Gijon is playing at its home stadium, El Molinon Stadium.
In the home team's locker room, after Li Ang laid out the tactics, he looked at his players and said, "This week, I know that you are all unhappy and aggrieved, and you want to vent your anger! What I want to say is,
I’m fucking just like you!”
"From the first second the game starts, vent all your unhappiness and depression this week!"
After saying these words, Li Ang left the locker room. That was all he had to say about the arrangements he wanted to make. The rest was left to these players.
Watching Li Ang leave, assistant coach Scott Rui coughed, then clapped his hands, "Okay, get ready to play."
Before he finished speaking, everyone stood up. It was very quiet, no one spoke, and it was even a little scary. All the players filed out in a strangely quiet atmosphere.
Looking at the serious faces of these players, Scottry suddenly became worried, "I'm a little worried whether they will be too stressed out by this."
Banderas shook his head, "I think Athletic Bilbao is going to be in trouble..."
Li Ang was already in the coaching bench at this time. He was sitting there, with the stands behind him, and in his ears were the songs roared by the fans... The game will start in a few minutes.
