Then he received a call from Alice. The sister was obviously worried about her brother.
Li Ang had no choice but to comfort Alice. He told Alice that Carlos did a good job and a good job. He was a good example of team spirit. Players who can stand up for their teammates are good players, and players who take action when they should take action have the quality.
"I know, what you said is ironic." Alice, who was worried, was also amused and said.
"It's not all irony." Li Ang thought carefully, "Although intellectually, I want to criticize Juan for not being calm, but emotionally, if Mata was maliciously fouled by his opponent, if he was indifferent, I would
Very angry!”
"That sounds contradictory," said Alice.
"Reason and emotion are always contradictory." Li Ang said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
"Is it really okay?"
"If anything happens, the worst is to be suspended, it is at the level of the national youth team and will not affect the club. If anything happens, Mata is injured. This is the thing that gives me a headache. That kid is better than
The cows are still strong, so they'll be fine." Li Ang said angrily.
"Then I'll be relieved." Alice breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up Alice's call, Li Ang lit a cigarette and then called the team's doctor, Mr. Rotalo, asking him to keep in touch with the Spanish U19 National Youth Team at any time and keep abreast of Mata's injury situation.
Later, Li Ang sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
He began to think about the team's game tasks for the next month.
***********
On October 17, in the seventh round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will challenge Deportivo La Coruna away.
On October 21st, the 2004/2005 UEFA Cup group stage will begin. Sporting Gijon will face Utrecht at home in the first round of the group stage.
On October 24, in the eighth round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon will welcome Real Betis at home.
On October 27, in the first round of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Sporting Gijon will welcome the Spanish second division team Elche at home.
On October 31, in the ninth round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon once again faces a strong enemy. They will visit the Santiago Bernabeu and their opponent is the Galacticos Real Madrid!
In less than half a month, Sporting Gijon will play five games, which can be said to be a very intensive event.
Not only that, Sporting Gijon’s opponents are also unprecedentedly powerful.
The opponent in the seventh round of the league is Deportivo, which is a very strong opponent.
Deportivo did not have much fame before the 1990s, but it returned to Serie A in 1991. Since returning to Serie A, it has given big names such as Barcelona and Real Madrid every season.
The team is creating huge pressure. The rise of Deportivo is due to Brazilian stars. Since Bebeto joined, nearly 20 Brazilian players have played for Deportivo in the past six or seven years.
.In the 1999/2000 La Liga season, Deportivo suddenly emerged, defeating Barcelona and Real Madrid, and became the league champion. This may mark a new golden period for Deportivo.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Deportivo La Coruna broke the traditional competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the league title in La Liga and won the La Liga title in the league in 2008. From this, Deportivo started to play the highest role in Europe.
level club competition, and the peak of Super Depor has arrived again, including the most incredible reversal in the history of the European Champions League - after losing 1-4 in the first round at the San Siro Stadium,
In the second round, they defeated the previous defending champion AC Milan 4:0 in Riazor. Since returning to Serie A, Deportivo La Coruña Football Club has been creating success for big-name teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid every season.
Huge pressure. But perhaps due to lack of experience and lack of enthusiasm, this team that has been looking forward to the Serie A championship for a long time often makes mistakes at the last moment, leaving fans helpless. However, the rise of Deportivo is very popular in Spain because it
The rise of Spanish football has transformed Spanish football from the top three to the top four, and since then it has also won the title of "Super Deportivo".
***********
Leon once studied the Deportivo La Coruña team, and he found a very interesting situation in several major European leagues: Coruña, with a population of 230,000; Parma, with a population of 180,000; Leverkusen, with a population of 160,000
; Lens, 40,000... Since the late 1980s, these four small European towns have become the focus of the world because of football. It may be a coincidence, but it is enough to create an era of small towns. In 1988, Lendoiro
After joining Deportivo, Carlmond took over Bayer Leverkusen, Machdale bought Lens, and one year later, Parmalat of Tanzi became a sponsor of Parma. People would not have thought that the entire 1990s
In the 1990s, the four major leagues in continental Europe were dominated by these insignificant towns.
These four teams have become league spoilers in the four major leagues, and even once threatened the status of the giants.
In La Liga, in addition to the three teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, the one that Li Ang fears the most is Deportivo, and even his fear of Deportivo is still in Valencia.
Above all, because if the Deportivo La Coruña team plays crazy, it will simply destroy everyone. Last season's reversal and elimination of AC Milan is an example.
Therefore, after the league rest period on the national team match day has passed, the first game faced by Li Ang's Sporting Gijon is to go to the Riazor Stadium to challenge Super Deportivo away from home. This game is a serious game for Sporting Gijon.
test.
Then, Utrecht, the first opponent in the UEFA Cup group stage, is not particularly strong, but Utrecht is also a veteran team in the UEFA Cup. Although Sporting Gijon is playing at home, they still cannot
Take it lightly.
In the eighth round of the league, they played against Real Betis at home. Although Real Betis is currently lower than Sporting Gijon in the league standings, only ranked twelfth, Li Ang knows that Real Betis will be in this season.
Crazy, this team is the dark horse of this season. According to the original history, Real Betis finally ranked fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League!
Therefore, Sporting Gijon also needs to be extremely cautious in its game against Real Betis.
Then there is the first round match against Elche in the Copa del Rey. This game may be the easiest of the five games in these two weeks.
***********
Finally, on the last day of October, in the ninth round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon went to the Santiago Bernabeu for an away match against the Galacticos Real Madrid!
The importance of this game is undoubted, and the difficulty can also be imagined. Considering the grievances between Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon last season, Sporting Gijon's visit to the Bernabeu this time will be much more dangerous than last season's Copa del Rey final!
In less than half a month, there are five games and four tough battles. It can be said to be a truly devilish schedule.
