"The fans of Sporting Gijon are definitely the happiest fans right now. They are currently ranked first in La Liga. Their mood must be very exciting, even a little complicated. I am afraid that the most optimistic fans never dreamed that their team could reach this level.
Now this step! What is certain is that die-hard fans of this team nicknamed the 'Red and White Army' are now both elated and a little nervous. Some may even worry that this is in a dream because it is so incredible.
.However, Li Ang may not be so nervous. This Chinese coach has an extremely tough heart. He is smart, fighting spirit, and has a strong personality. This young coach has the basic qualities that are consistent with a great coach! In addition, what shocked us is that
This team is still alive in the UEFA Cup. The 3-0 away first-leg match against Parma has allowed them to enter the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. In the Copa del Rey, they have also reached the semi-finals.
To achieve this with a thin lineup and as a newly promoted team, this Chinese coach shocked everyone. In Spain, the team he led has become the subject of research. They can play amazing offensive football.
However, their defensive counterattack is also very sharp. Under the command of Li Ang, Sporting Gijon skillfully transformed their tactics, which made their opponents feel desperate. There is no doubt that Li Ang is the soul of this team! This is a
A team based on the will of the head coach! In this team, the head coach has absolute authority, and he is loved by all the players..." - "Gazzetta dello Sport"
Putting down the newspaper and taking off his reading glasses, Facchetti showed a shocked expression. He did not expect that "Gazzetta dello Sport" would have such high praise for the Chinese coach. "Gazzetta dello Sport" is a world-renowned sports media, very professional and completely
There is no need to flatter a Chinese coach in Spain. Being able to be praised so highly by Gazzetta dello Sport shows that this person has really won the praise of this Italian newspaper. At least the author of this report was praised by this person.
The Chinese conquered.
Facchetti noticed that the author of this report was Di Gennaro, and he understood clearly. Di Gennaro is a famous Inter Milan fan, a famous football expert in Gazzetta dello Sport, and has a close relationship with Moratti
good.
Of course, Facchetti did not doubt that Di Gennaro was overly praising Leon. He still believed in Di Gennaro's professionalism and vision, and said that Di Gennaro was a very picky person.
, it is not easy to win his favor and praise.
This made Facchetti very curious about Li Ang. This young Chinese coach can be admired by Moratti and endorsed and praised by Di Gennaro. It seems that he does have a certain level.
Of course, Facchetti was by no means someone who could be moved or swayed by just one report. He told Moratti that he needed to get to know Li Ang better before he could make a decision.
Moratti was a little disappointed that he was not able to convince Facchetti right away. However, he also knew that Facchetti needed time to inspect and understand Li Ang, and that was all he could do at the moment.
Facchetti still had doubts about Liang, but in the subsequent discussion, Facchetti had to make concessions on whether to change coaches. Moratti is the boss, and Facchetti cannot always be with him.
The boss has a different opinion.
In the end, the most important decision made by Inter Milan's senior management behind closed doors was that they set a probation period for the team's head coach Mancini!
***********
Three days later, in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan will play the second leg of the match against its local rival AC Milan at the Meazza Stadium at home, which will be the final test of whether Mancini can coach Inter Milan after the end of the season.
Exam papers.
With no hope of winning the league, whether he can go one step further in the Champions League is regarded by Inter Milan executives as the only criterion for their evaluation of Mancini.
As for the report card that Inter Milan has reached the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, it obviously cannot impress Moratti's desire to change coaches. It is not news that Serie A giants generally look down on the Italian Cup.
After the meeting, Facchetti also sighed. Although he was not satisfied with Mancini's coaching results, he did think that Mancini should be given more time, at least one more time.
Season, however, Moratti was very determined and it was not easy to agree to give Mancini a reprieve.
However, Facchetti was not optimistic about Mancini's ability to survive the danger. In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter Milan lost 0-2 away to its local rival AC Milan and wanted to make a comeback.
In the second round, AC Milan must score three goals at home without conceding a goal. This is an almost difficult task.
However, there is only so much Facchetti can do to help Mancini...
***********
The aftermath of this match between Sporting Gijon and Albacete continues.
The Spanish media are all talking about Sporting Gijon head coach Li Ang's declaration of the team's desire to win the championship.
The whole Sporting Gijon team was surprised at first, or a little nervous, but more excited than anything else.
Before, they knew that their goal was to win the league, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. This was more or less sneaky and would invisibly make the players less confident.
Now, Li Ang's move has made the team very excited. They think that the head coach has now shown his determination to win the championship, which shows that the coach is very confident in winning the championship and thinks that it has reached the point of telling the world that he has great trust and trust in Li Ang.
The morale of the respected players is greatly boosted.
There is still a aftermath of the game against Albacete, that is, Sporting Gijon, in accordance with the request of head coach Leon, officially complained to the Spanish Football Federation about Depay, the referee on duty for this game, complaining that Depay lacked basic restraints on the game.
and control.
The reason why Li Ang made this move is very direct, that is, the results of the post-match examination came out. There is no problem with Mata's injury. The problem is Benzema. The French teenager will need to miss the game for at least a month. This is for
This has a very negative impact on Sporting Gijon, which is already stretched thin on the front line and faces multi-front combat tasks in the sprint phase of the season.
Therefore, the more Li Ang thought about it, the angrier he became. In anger, he resented referee Depay's inaction even more and asked the club to complain to the Spanish Football Federation about this person.
If I'm having a hard time, you won't be able to have a good time either. This is his clear distinction between love and hate, or it's simple and crude logic.
***********
Three days later, Italy, Milan, Meazza Stadium. This is a great stadium. When AC Milan plays home, the name of this stadium is San Siro. When Inter Milan plays home, this stadium is called San Siro.
Meazza.
The second leg of the Champions League derby between Inter Milan and AC Milan.
In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, club owner Moratti, club president Facchetti, club general manager Oriari, and club technical director Blanca suddenly appeared in the live broadcast footage.
Italian commentator Viviano saw this scene and joked that Inter Milan paid special attention to this game and Mancini must be under great pressure.
The camera then showed a close-up of Mancini in the Inter Milan coaching bench.
At this time, no one, including Mancini himself, knew what this game meant to him.
In the first round, AC Milan won 2-0. In this game, AC Milan scored another goal to expand the total score to 3-0.
This goal conceded was fatal for Inter Milan. Considering that AC Milan got an away goal, this means that Inter Milan must score four goals in the subsequent games if they want to come back.
Moratti was sinking in the stands.
Facchetti shook his head and sighed.
Oriari glanced at the expressionless Moratti, then glanced at Mancini in the coaching bench, and also sighed. He knew that the Mancini era of Inter Milan might be over before it even begins.
it's over.
Blanca's eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.
***********
In the subsequent game, Inter Milan launched a desperate counterattack. However, Cambiaso's goal was disallowed by the referee, which aroused strong anger from Inter Milan fans and threw a large number of fireworks and firecrackers into the stadium.
Da was hit and injured. The referee on duty was forced to declare the game to be interrupted.
This derby is called the Fireworks Derby by fans. The back view of Materazzi and Rui Costa watching the fireworks together has become one of the classic shots in football.
Although the game was interrupted and temporarily canceled, all Inter Milan executives, including Moratti, knew that the result might not be optimistic for Inter Milan. After all, before the game was interrupted, AC Milan was leading, and Inter Milan was leading.
Fans throwing fireworks caused chaos and forced the game to be interrupted. The blame lies with Inter Milan.
Subsequently, Inter Milan's senior management complained to UEFA. Their suggestion was to continue the game on another day, starting with AC Milan's score of 1-0, and finishing the remaining game time. This is allowed by the rules.
Within, it is the most advantageous level that Inter Milan can strive for.
However, UEFA rejected Inter Milan’s suggestions and requests.
After a series of discussions, UEFA announced the punishment results for Inter Milan one day later. In the future European competitions held by Inter Milan, Inter Milan will have 6 closed games, which means that Inter Milan will have 6 games in the future.
Fans will not be allowed to enter the European games. The first 4 games will be played from now on, and the closure penalty of the last two games will be suspended for 3 years depending on the performance of Inter Milan. At the same time, the second Milan derby
In the round of the match, Inter Milan was sentenced to a 0:3 loss to AC Milan. In this case, Inter Milan would be eliminated by their city rival AC Milan with a total score of 0:5. In addition, Inter Milan would also be fined approximately US$250,000.
.
If Inter Milan is closed for 6 games, Inter Milan's losses may exceed 15 million euros. At the same time, Inter Milan has requested compensation from the fans arrested by the Italian police and announced that it will prosecute a man suspected of throwing fireworks into the stadium.
The fans were punished by not coming to the stadium to watch the game for three years. This will be the first time in the history of an Italian team that they have banned their fans from watching the game live.
***********
After the results of UEFA's punishment came out, Inter Milan's top management immediately held an emergency meeting at Inter Milan's Pinenati base.
Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini was invited to attend the meeting on short notice. The Inter Milan head coach received the club's thanks and blessings at the meeting - he was told that he could only coach the team until the end of the season:
That is to say, after the end of the season, Mancini will be dismissed. Regarding the termination of the contract and liquidated damages for the next two years of the contract between Inter Milan and him, the two parties will negotiate to resolve it.
Mancini appeared very frustrated and angry. He felt that he had been abandoned and betrayed.
Moratti is a very soft-hearted and emotional person. Seeing the sad and angry Mancini, he felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who invited Mancini to coach last summer. I think back to last year, the two of them were dreaming about the international world together.
Milan's bright future, therefore, Moratti took the initiative to appease Mancini, saying that today's meeting decision will be kept confidential and the players will not know about it. This can maximize Mancini's prestige in the Inter Milan locker room. He also stated:
Mancini will be satisfied with the liquidated damages for termination of the contract.
In a sense, Moratti is indeed a very good boss who is willing to spend money and values feelings... It is a pity that his Inter Milan has been wasted, which makes him unable to endure it anymore because he does not know when he will
Only then can you see the rise of your favorite team.
Angry and frustrated, Mancini left the Pinenati base early. He didn't know that Inter Milan's top management had not left. Later, Moratti hosted a closed-door meeting...
Inter Milan was knocked out 5-0 by local rival AC Milan, and the club's top management subsequently held a closed-door meeting in Pinenati, which aroused great interest from the media.
The media began to hype Mancini's coaching crisis.
However, Inter Milan later denied it and the club expressed its support and trust in coach Mancini.
Mancini also stood up and responded, saying that he would continue to lead Inter Milan forward and stated that his goal was to win the Italian Cup.
***********
Just a few hours after Inter Milan's high-level closed-door meeting, in Gijon, Spain, Sporting Gijon ushered in the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals against Parma. In the first leg, they lost 3-0.
With the score advantage, considering that the weekend was the focus of the showdown with Barcelona, Liang adopted a large number of rotations. In the end, Sporting Gijon drew 1-1 with Parma at home and advanced with a total score of 4-1 in the two rounds.
Semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 2004/2005 season.
That night, when he returned home, Li Ang, who was in a good mood, and his girlfriend Alice were enjoying a candlelight dinner when they received a call from his agent, Miss Betty...
"Hi, good evening Betty."
"Good evening, Li." Betty's voice was filled with excitement, "There is something I feel the need to communicate with you immediately..."
