Sporting Gijon's players soon found out what their head coach had said in the press conference, and they were shocked.
First of all, everyone felt uncomfortable. Their head coach praised his opponent so "flattery", which of course made them very unhappy.
Then they were very puzzled. They knew their head coach. He was a very proud man. How could he be so groveling?
Especially those players who came back from the second division with Li Ang. When they were still in the second division, the head coach dared to lead them to defeat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final. Whether it was before or after the game, facing La Liga
Rich families are fearless, just like mad dogs.
Are you scared to face Barcelona now?!
They felt that there must be a reason for such an obvious abnormality, but they didn't know what the reason was.
At this time, the two captains Hierro and Albertini, as well as Milito, the three parties involved finally understood what the head coach meant by the somewhat sinister smile on his face when he went out to attend the press conference.
They also know what Li Ang means by 'reminding' them in advance. This means leaving the locker room to them, asking them to do their job as a team and not to be fooled by the 'illusion' or affect their morale.
Then, team captain Hierro explained to everyone that this should be the coach's psychological tactics. In fact, in the coach's heart, he values this game extremely and is determined to win.
"The coach once came to us and expressed his determination to win this game," Hierro said.
"Yes, I was there at the time and the coach was very confident." Albertini also said.
Later, Milito told everyone about the fact that the head coach came to talk to them and asked assistant coach Scott Terry to send a notebook with detailed analysis videos of the game. This was enough to prove everything.
Players such as Di Natale and Ribery who later watched the game clips also testified.
Then, everything became clear, and everyone realized that what the coach said to the Barcelona people was really intentional and was just a smoke bomb.
***********
"The boss is so insidious," Ribery said.
Everyone nodded, yes, it was too insidious.
"How do you think people in Barcelona feel now?"
"How does it feel?" Di Natale shook his head, "I will definitely be very happy."
Everyone looked at each other and then laughed.
Albertini patted Milito on the shoulder, "The coach praised everyone in Barcelona, but he didn't mention Eto'o."
Milito nodded, feeling moved in his heart. Even when the coach was using psychological tactics like smoke bombs, he still took his feelings into consideration. This made this honest and honest Argentinian very grateful to Leon and respected him even more.
"Okay, guys." Hierro clapped his hands, "Cheer up, we must go all out for this game. The coach has done everything to win, and we can't let his efforts go in vain."
"You're right!"
"come on!"
"Kill Barcelona!"
Everyone cheered and shouted.
Hierro glanced at everyone with satisfaction. The team atmosphere was very good and he couldn't wait for the game to begin.
***********
Li Ang's guess was correct. The arrogant Catalans were indeed very happy. Li Ang's compliments soon appeared in the major media in Barcelona, and they spared no effort to reprint Li Ang's words.
When the Catalan fans saw these reports, they were naturally very happy. The legendary and unruly Liang praised their Barcelona so much. You know, this person dares to fight against Real Madrid.
It was worthless to belittle him, but now he praises our Barcelona so much. This is a sincere praise.
He is indeed an ‘old friend of Barcelona’!
Barcelona fans' impression of Li Ang was unprecedentedly good for a while.
Li Ang is very satisfied with the attitude of the Catalan media and fans, but what he is most concerned about is what the Barcelona players think.
The reaction of Barcelona's players did not disappoint Liang.
Barcelona's star player, Brazilian Ronaldinho, is a good-tempered player and very optimistic. He was very happy with the praise from the opponent's head coach, "I am very grateful for the praise from coach Li Ang. I just want to be happy."
So far, I’ve done pretty well in playing football.”
To be fair, Liang's praise of Barcelona's stars, including his praise of Ronaldinho, is indeed from the heart. This Brazilian is indeed the number one star in today's football, and his football talent is amazing.
***********
Other stars such as Puyol, Xavi, Deco and others also expressed that they were very happy to hear such praise from their opponents.
Deco said that being able to hear praise from his opponents is the greatest compliment for Barcelona.
The big-mouthed Eto'o also stood up, feeling a little proud. He also said that the praise from his opponents was the best compliment, because Barcelona deserved any praise.
At this time, a reporter suddenly discovered that Li Ang praised everyone in Barcelona, but did not seem to praise Eto'o. They fed back this question to Eto'o, and the Cameroonian's face immediately changed, "When a teammate is praised, it is equivalent to being praised.
Praise me."
Anyone who knows Eto'o knows that this Cameroonian is unhappy. Yes, everyone has been praised, why not him?!
"Maybe I forgot." someone said.
This statement is generally recognized. After all, Li Ang's attitude is so sincere and humble, and he doesn't look like he is trying to stir up trouble.
Hearing this judgment, Eto'o became even more unhappy. Forgot? Forgot? Actually forgot?!
The whole Barcelona team is very happy, except of course Eto'o who is a little unhappy.
They didn't think that the other team's head coach had any conspiracy. Because their recent performance was really great and they really deserved any praise. Therefore, they accepted the praise calmly and everyone was in a happy mood.
Team goalkeeper Valdes even joked again that he originally thought Sporting Gijon, a dark horse opponent, would keep him busy, but now it seems that this game will be boring.
His words brought a burst of whistles and cheers from everyone.
After all, if the opponent raises their hands and surrenders, they will feel much more relaxed and can win the game easily without breaking a sweat, which is naturally what everyone is happy with.
***********
Liang's words at the press conference made Barcelona people very happy. They are extremely optimistic about the game against Sporting Gijon, the third-placed player in the league.
Happy and relaxed emotions rippled in everyone's heart.
But at this time, someone still came out to pour cold water on them.
When Valencia head coach Ranieri was interviewed by the media, he talked about the match between Barcelona and Sporting Gijon. The Italian head coach felt that the Barcelona people were too optimistic. He believed that coach Li Ang was a very ambitious person.
He will never surrender, and he reminds Barcelona people to be careful about this man and his team.
"...I think this will be a tough game. If Barcelona underestimates Sporting Gijon, it will definitely suffer. I have no doubt at all. The reason is very simple. Their head coach is Li Ang. I and
We have just played against this person. He is a very capable young coach with great ideas and cunning. Barcelona people should face up to this opponent. This game will not be easy..."
It's a pity that his voice didn't attract the slightest attention from the Barcelona people. The happy Barcelona people even said sarcastically that Ranieri was making excuses for Valencia's loss to Sporting Gijon. A loser under Sporting Gijon would not praise this opponent.
Two sentences, doesn't it make his defeat even more embarrassing?!
Poor Ranieri, he reminded him kindly, but he suffered unwarranted humiliation.
But Li Ang thought that the old man deserved it. He almost jumped out and ruined his good deeds. He deserved it for meddling in his own business!
***********
In such a joyful atmosphere, the whole Sporting Gijon team took the bus, left the hotel where they were staying, and set off for the Camp Nou stadium.
When they arrived at the stadium, Barcelona fans along the way applauded them.
The players of Sporting Gijon have been to many away games, but they have never received such warm hospitality from the opponent's fans. Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Then, they saw that there were actually Barcelona fans holding a banner that read "Lee, old friend of Barcelona".
Everyone was stunned, and then the bus couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing!" Li Ang scolded, "The opponent's fans are so enthusiastic. If they fail to win this game, they will be sad!"
There was even more laughter in the car.
The head coach is really insidious, this is the consensus of everyone at this moment!
