King Juan Carlos of Spain awarded the championship gold medal to the Sporting Gijon team.
His Majesty the King seems to be very interested in the young man with the same name as him in the Sporting Gijon team.
His Majesty the King hugged Carlos, encouraged the young player, and kissed Carlos on the cheek. Carlos, who was so murderous on the court, actually blushed with shame, which made His Majesty the King laugh.
The last person to receive the gold medal was Leon. The King of Spain shook hands with the Chinese head coach.
"Lee! Your coaching talent and leadership ability amaze me. You have created history. Congratulations to you, Triple Crown coach."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King."
Leon shook hands with Juan Carlos I and asked him to put the gold medal on his head.
Finally, it’s time to award the championship trophy.
Sporting Gijon captain Fernando Hierro took the championship trophy from the hands of the old king, and then raised it high - the entire Mestalla stadium cheered loudly, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and ribbons danced in the air.
On June 12, 2005, Sporting Gijon coached by Li Ang won the Copa del Rey this season at Sporting Gijon's Mestalla Stadium. They successfully won the Triple Crown and became the first team in the history of Spanish football.
A Triple Crown team.
The Mestalla stadium belonged to Sporting Gijon at this time.
The players ran wildly on the court, holding the trophy around the court for one, two, and three weeks. They rushed to kiss and hug the trophy. Everyone felt like they were in a dream. They were a Spanish second-division team last season.
La Liga's newly promoted team, now they are the UEFA Cup champions, La Liga champions, and Spanish Copa del Rey champions, a triple crown!
Everyone has a smile of excitement and pride on their face.
The players also accepted interviews from the media. They were all very proud and excited. The media in Gijon were equally excited. They called this the most glorious day in the history of this northern seaport city. They said this was the Gijon football dynasty.
Start……
The players gathered together, jumping and jumping, holding hands, chanting "Gijon", "Gijon"...
***********
About twenty minutes later, the players returned to the locker room of the Mestalla Stadium with their gold medals and trophies still in high spirits.
While the players were celebrating on the court, Li Ang returned to the locker room a few minutes early. He stood at the door and hugged every player who came in.
This surprised the players. The coach seemed a little different today. Although the coach was very happy to win the previous two championships, he did not do so. And at the end of the game, the coach also rushed to the court and hugged everyone.
Now it's happening again.
However, no one expected this to be a farewell hug. They thought it was because the coach was too excited after winning the Triple Crown.
After everyone came in, Leon stood in front and his assistant Banderas closed the door to the locker room.
The players are still in the excitement. Most of them are busy picking up their mobile phones to make calls and share the joy of winning the championship with their relatives, friends and loved ones. Some are still making a fuss, and Ribery and Mata are running around carrying champagne.
Sneak attack on teammates.
Looking at the players celebrating lively and enjoying the joy of winning the championship, Li Ang pursed his lips and became even more sad. This is really not a good time to say goodbye.
However, this is the final moment of farewell. After playing this Copa del Rey game, Sporting Gijon's season will be completely over. The team will be disbanded. The players can finally rest after working hard for a season.
They are going on vacation to spend time with their families and enjoy the vacation.
Li Ang finally clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention. He said, "Guys, I have something to announce. I know this is not a good time to talk about it, but this is the last chance.
After today, I'm afraid I won't have time to say goodbye to you..."
The locker room was in a mess. At first, no one paid much attention to what the coach said. However, as Li Ang said the third sentence, the noise in the locker room began to quiet down. Even the players who were on the phone were holding mobile phones in their hands, surprised.
Some looked at their coaches, and some simply hung up the phone.
What did the coach just say? Last chance? Say goodbye?! What does that mean?! What happened?!
***********
"I have something to announce to you. I had planned to tell you before, but I was worried that it would affect my preparations for the game, so I never said it."
"As everyone knows, I still have a one-year contract with the club. Under the current circumstances, the club has no intention to renew my contract, and I do not intend to continue to fulfill the contract for the next one year." Li Ang spread his hands and said, "We broke up peacefully.
That’s what it means.”
Everyone looked at their head coach. When they heard this, they were all shocked, and the entire locker room fell into a strangely quiet atmosphere.
They couldn’t believe their ears. What had they just heard? The coach said he had ‘peacefully broken up’ with the club?!
"I'm so proud! I'm proud of you! The time I spent working with you is destined to be the most important time in my life! We bear pressure and failure together, we are not discouraged, we move forward together, work hard together, and win together
The ball, from victory to victory!" Li Ang looked at the astonished players, feeling bitter in his heart, "We are now the Triple Crown champions! I am very proud, proud of you, and proud of the years we have worked together! In this
At this moment of celebration, I’m sorry for talking about these topics, I’m really sorry…”
Li Ang couldn't speak any more. He paused. He looked at the players, and the players looked at him.
Li Ang only felt that his chest was extremely stuffy, uncomfortable, uncomfortable, uncomfortable!
This is his team, this is the team he built, this is his hard work.
Now, he just turned around and left, really reluctant to leave.
There is always a banquet in the world. At this time, it may be appropriate to say goodbye to the players and retire bravely. He is almost certain that the Triple Crown may be the highest honor for this team. Given the conflict of ideas between him and the club owner,
Even if he stays in Gijon, Gijon's results in the following seasons are unlikely to be better than this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona will not give Sporting Gijon any chance, and due to financial constraints, Sporting Gijon's lineup is thin.
It will be difficult to make a big breakthrough in the European Champions Cup next season.
After all, it is conceivable that when Sporting Gijon's performance fluctuates later, some players will definitely want to leave. At that time, Li Ang will inevitably be unhappy with the players... This is almost certain.
In this case, saying goodbye at the happiest time of the party and leaving each other with the best memories is the best moment to say goodbye.
Good to get together and good to go!
***********
"Coach, which team are you going to?" goalkeeper Valencia asked.
"It hasn't been decided yet, but there is indeed a team that is inviting me, and I'm still considering it." Li Ang didn't tell the truth. He didn't want to give his players the feeling that he had already found a new club.
He did not admit that he was lying, after all, he and Inter Milan did not sign a contract, and it was indeed only in the past two days that they reached a consensus.
"Boss, why? Can you not leave?" The speaker was Javier Blanco. He and several players who were promoted from the B team had the most respect and admiration for Li Ang. Li Ang said he wanted to leave. For these few
For the young people, it was like a bolt from the blue. They could not imagine what Sporting Gijon would be like without a leader.
"Different concepts." Li Ang decided to explain. He was also defending the club's senior management and did not want the players to complain about the old Arango. The most important reason for him to do this was that Li Ang did not want to see turmoil in Sporting Gijon.
I hope that after he leaves, the entire team will be in disarray and people will be in panic. This is his last effort for Sporting Gijon.
"Mr. Arango and I have differences on some concepts about the future of the team." Li Ang said, "Both of us are worried that such differences will expand in the future and affect the development of the team. Therefore, after our communication,
Choose to break up peacefully, without quarrels, break up peacefully, it is indeed the case, Mr. Chairman’s love for the team is unquestionable, um..."
Li Ang suddenly couldn't speak anymore, because he found that the players couldn't listen to what he said. Obviously, everyone was shocked by the fact that he was leaving.
Li Ang shut up and stopped talking. He was extremely irritated. Now that he had left, he shouldn't think so much about what the future of Gijon had to do with him... He felt depressed and uncomfortable, and was extremely irritable.
"I want to thank you, thank you all. Ending our work together with the Triple Crown is the best parting gift." Li Ang said expressionlessly, "Okay, I'm going to attend the press conference. I'm sorry to disturb you.
Celebrating everyone, thank you all.”
After saying that, Li Ang opened the door and walked out without giving other players time to react, and then closed the door behind him. He strode forward without looking back. The door behind him closed, as if it also closed his presence here.
Memory and time.
***********
At the press conference, reporters had been waiting anxiously.
Real Betis head coach Ferrer was already at the scene. He was asked a few questions by reporters, and then no one asked any more questions. Losers always lack attention.
Ferrer was sitting in his seat. Leon hadn't come yet, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He really wanted to leave directly.
After Li Ang came in, he took the initiative to shake hands with Ferrer. This made Ferrer look better.
As Li Ang sat down, the reporters immediately raised their hands, eager to ask questions.
Li Ang pulled the microphone in front of him and said directly, "I know you have a lot of questions, but before that, I have something to announce."
Without waiting for reporters to express their opinions and ask questions, Li Ang continued, "I still have a one-year contract with Sporting Gijon. However, after communicating with Mr. Manuel Arango, we chose to break up amicably and I do not need to continue to fulfill it."
The club will not renew my contract for the next one year. After today’s game, I will step down as the head coach of Sporting Gijon. Well, that’s it, you can continue to ask questions.”
The scene was quiet at first, then there was an uproar. Everyone's hands were raised. They had too many questions to ask.
