Chapter 044: Sporting Gijón's Road to the Copa del Rey (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Li Ang opened his eyes in a daze, he really drank too much last night, first had dinner with the players, and then hi with the fans, it was okay when he was with the players, and when he was with the fans, Li Ang also let go, and the drink was called a pleasure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Li Ang smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that you really have to be temperate in the future, alcohol is not a good thing.
I woke up, brushed my teeth and washed up, and made a simple breakfast.
Leon went out to pick up the day's newspaper and prepared to enjoy a cosy breakfast: reading the newspaper while eating breakfast.
There seemed to be something remarkable mixed in the middle of a stack of newspapers, and Li Ang took it out and saw that it was a greeting card with a line written crookedly: Lee, thank you for leading us to win, Barthez will always cheer you on.
He was already in a good mood, but seeing this greeting card, he was in an even better mood.
Leon took the greeting card and looked at it, who could have written it? It was really not pretty, as if it had been written by a child who had just learned to write.
He got up, put the card away with great care, and put it in the window of the bookcase.
Then Leon began to read the newspapers, he looked for the words that praised himself and praised Sporting Gijón, in fact, he didn't need to deliberately look for them, the important pages of these newspapers were given to yesterday's game, to Ang, to Sporting Gijón.
Looking at the praise in the newspaper, looking at his own photos in the newspaper, Leon was proud in his heart and hummed a tune, which was really good.
Of course, a certain newspaper called the "Gijon Post", Li Ang didn't even read it, and threw it into the trash, he didn't even need to read it, he knew that there would definitely be nothing good to say about it.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that the "Gijón Post" described Li Ang as a "tyrant of dictatorship", even used the word "fascist" to describe his ban on his own media, and even alluded to Li Ang's Chinese identity as a dictator from Red China.
It's a pity that they said so much that Leon didn't even look at it.
In fact, the Gijón Post is famous today, and at a time when about seven or eight newspapers throughout Gijón were praising Leon and Gijón Athletic, this newspaper ' Of course, if it's just out of place, it's nothing, the point is that it caused the anger of the local fans in Gijón, what's the matter, we worked hard for three months, and finally the team won, and it was a very wonderful great reversal, we reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, which is the best result in the last ten years in the cup competition for Gijón, you "Gijón Post" The largest local media in Gijón, not only did not praise it with honor, but poured cold water on it, and the paper was full of criticism, which made the fans of Sporting Gijón who read the newspaper early in the morning very angry, and many people threw the newspaper directly into the trash like Li Ang.
Some fans even logged on to the official website of the Gijón Post and scolded the newspaper.
And on the forums of Sporting Gijón fans, there are also fans talking about it, and the famous radical fan group 'Red and White Devils' has even launched a call for a boycott of the Gijón Post on the Internet. The 'red and white devils' are the fan groups of Xavi Gladero and Badelcurre. They used a nickname of Sporting Gijón in the nineties of the last century as the name of the fan organization, the legend is that when Sporting Gijón was in a match with Real Madrid, they beat the super giant Real Madrid 2-0 at home, Madrid's "As" newspaper described in a subsequent report that Real Madrid was stunned by the red and white devils, and this matter is also proud of many Sporting Gijón fans, this fan organization was established after that, and it has a history of more than ten years so far.
***********
While eating breakfast, Leon looked at the reports that praised him gracefully, and at this time, the mobile phone rang.
It was Alexander Ellioyd, the club's general manager, who called.
"Good morning, Lee. ”
"Good morning, Alexander. ”
"Bastradi was beaten, you know?" said Aloyd.
"Who is that?" asked Leon, surprised.
"The reporter from the Gijón Post. Elloyd said.
"That's really good news. Leon laughed, and then he realized something and asked, "You don't think I hit that guy, do you, although I do want to hit someone." ”
"You didn't hit it. "It was Olich who beat him." ”
"Olich, the head coach of Alaves?" Leon was surprised, this is really too mysterious, he is the one who wants to hit that damn reporter the most, he didn't dare to hit someone, why was this guy beaten by the head coach of Alaves.
Elloyd gave Leon a brief account of what happened after he left the press conference, and Leon was dumbfounded, he laughed, and then shook his head, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity I didn't see this show with my own eyes. Leon said.
Aloyd was speechless, he called to remind Leon to be honest at this time and not to add fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect the other party's focus to be here.
"It's a bad thing, you don't give any media interviews, don't give any opinions. Elloyd said solemnly.
"I didn't hit people. ”
"You should be glad you didn't hit someone. "The Spanish Football Federation is already discussing the punishment of Olic and is likely to be suspended. ”
"So serious?"
"What do you say?" said Aloyd, angrily.
Leon assured Aloyd that he would keep to himself and would not take the initiative to find trouble.
Hearing this assurance, Elloyd was relieved. This matter is indeed very troublesome, however, the trouble is the Alaves club, for the head coach to hit the reporter, the Spanish Football Association is very angry, it is said that Alaves coach Olic will be heavily fined, the general manager of Sporting Gijón Mr. Ellloyd is also afraid for a while, fortunately it is not Li Ang who started to beat people, otherwise this is really a major blow to Sporting Gijón, which has just improved. However, Eloyd also had to be cautious, and specially called the restless manager to warn him not to cause trouble. After all, when it comes to Alaves coach Olich, if you really want to investigate the reason, this matter has a certain relationship with Leon, and it is all caused by his 'statement'.
As Mr. Press Officer said at the press conference, this is a personal statement by the head coach Mr. Li Ang, which has nothing to do with the club, and Li Ang, as a natural person, has the freedom to refuse an interview with a certain media.
After ending the call with Mr. Ellloyd, the general manager, Li Ang was stunned, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt coke.
The person he wanted to fight the most was slapped by the Alaves coach in the end, and this Mr. Olic can be said to be the most innocent. has just been eliminated from the Copa del Rey led by Leon, and it is on fire, but now it has caused such a big thing.
What a nice guy.
Leon touched his chin, he was wondering whether to give Mr. Olrich a pennant, this is the true spirit of selflessness and self-sacrifice internationalism.
***********
Then, Leon's attention was drawn to a newspaper.
This is "The Voice of Gijón", the same media outlet where Mitra, the journalist who took the initiative to woo Leon and wanted to interview him.
"Voice of Gijón" praised Li Ang very much, praised Li Ang's tactics in the match between Sporting Gijón and Alaves, said that this was 'a wonderful production of an extremely intelligent Chinese', and praised Li Ang for his level, ability, and vision, expressing his belief that the team under the leadership of Li Ang, relegation can definitely succeed.
This made Li Ang's heart flutter, such a newspaper, such a media is really likable.
Li Ang also knows that this is the media outhode to him again, and now, he is really considering whether to accept the exclusive interview of this media and, if possible, establish a good cooperative relationship. Leon knew that he needed to have a well-connected media, or rather, a spokesperson in the media.
Don't look at the other local media in Gijón who are also praising him now, but Leon understands the virtue of the media, and if the next race is not good, it is these media who are still praising him today, and they will immediately and mercilessly criticize him. That's the media.
In such a situation, it is necessary if there is a media that has established a certain relationship with itself, and can always stand on its side and cheer for itself.
Leon secretly noted down the matter in his heart, and it seemed that he needed to find some time to meet with the reporter Mitra. He believes that the other party must be waiting for his call, the olive branch has been thrown twice, and the other side must be waiting for his response.
It was not only the praise and olive branch thrown by "The Voice of Gijon" that made Leon pay attention.
Rather, it was an analytical article from the Gijón Voice that followed yesterday's game, and the headline was: How far can Sporting Gijón go in the Copa del Rey?!
This immediately aroused Leon's interest and attention.
In all fairness, he hasn't thought about the Copa del Rey either, even if he had to eliminate Alaves in yesterday's game, which was the stimulus of the 2-0 scoreline at that time, and since there is hope of eliminating the opponent, it is natural to seize it.
However, Sporting Gijón eliminated Alaves and reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, and Leon really hasn't seriously thought about it.
The rest of yesterday's Copa del Rey was in the quarter-finals:
Sevilla FC won 2-1 away to Atletico Madrid, and the score of the first leg between the two sides was Sevilla's 4-0 victory at home, and the aggregate score of the two legs Sevilla beat Atletico Madrid 6-1, and Sevilla reached the last four.
Real Madrid won 2-1 away to Valencia, and in the first leg of the match between the two sides, Real Madrid won 3-0 at home, and finally Real Madrid defeated Valencia 5-1 on aggregate over two legs, and the Galaxy reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
There is also a game, Zaragoza 1-1 Barcelona at home, in the first leg of the match between the two sides, Zaragoza won 1-0 away against Barcelona, so Zaragoza defeated Barcelona with an aggregate score of 2-1 and entered the Copa del Rey semi-finals, which is also a big upset.
Now, the top four of the Copa del Rey are all released, namely Sporting Gijón led by Li Ang, La Liga giants Real Madrid, La Liga powerhouses Sevilla and Zaragoza.
In addition to Sporting Gijón, which is a La Liga team, the other three teams are La Liga teams, which also includes the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid!
Leon's eyes are fixed on Real Madrid at this moment!
