This is not the first time Leon has attended the European draw, as he and his assistant Banderas did last season, but that time he did so. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, the UEFA Cup is incomparable in terms of influence and attention compared to the UEFA Champions League.

The last time I went to the draw for the League Cup, some reporters were curious about the presence of a Chinese coach, but that's all, he didn't attract much attention that time.

Only the media in China made a big splash, after all, the appearance of the Chinese head coach in the UEFA Cup is good news for poor Chinese football.

Leon was the first coach to win the treble in La Liga last season, especially in the league to win the La Liga title over Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is a remarkable achievement!

Moreover, he is now coaching the Serie A giants Inter Milan, which is an old European giant!

In addition, Inter Milan has made a lot of moves this summer, especially bringing Ronaldo back to Inter Milan from Real Madrid, which is even more eye-catching.

Of course, Leon's iron-blooded purge at Inter Milan also made him famous. There has never been a manager who has just come to a team, especially for a big team with such a frenzied purge and blood.

So, Leon is now the man of the hour!

He is the first yellow coach, the first Asian coach, and the first Chinese coach in the history of the Champions League!

It's the manager of Inter Milan!

***********

Accompanied by Inter Milan President Facchetti, Leon had just arrived at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo, Monaco, when reporters waiting outside the venue flocked to him.

This is the first time that a manager with an eastern face has appeared in the Champions League, so it's no wonder the media is paying so much attention.

It is not uncommon for players from the East to appear in the Champions League, with Japan's Hidetoshi Nakata and Junichi Inamoto and South Korea's Park Ji-sung all making appearances in the Champions League, especially Park Ji-sung, who even reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with PSV Eindhoven this past season.

However, for the first time in the history of the Champions League, the head coach of the East face appeared on the Champions League stage!

In European football, it's basically the world of white managers.

Even black managers are rarely seen, one of the more famous of which is Barcelona's current head coach Rijkaard.

In fact, in the mainstream Western world, which is dominated by white coaches, most of the popular sports are dominated by white head coaches, not only football, basketball and rugby, and volleyball coaches, but basically white coaches, there are very few black coaches, and there are almost no yellow coaches.

Take the field of football as an example, Rijkaard became the head coach of Barcelona and appeared in the Champions League, which caused less curiosity, mainly because Rijkaard is a famous star and one of the 'Milan Three Musketeers'.

However, Leon is completely out of the blue!

In the three years since he coached, he became the first Oriental head coach in the history of Spanish football, led Sporting Gijón back to La Liga, became the first Oriental coach in the history of La Liga, became the first Oriental coach in the history of the UEFA Cup, and then, even more amazingly, he led the dark horse Sporting Gijón to the end, and actually won the Triple Crown of La Liga last season, which is the first Triple Crown coach in the history of Spanish football, this name was taken away by this Chinese!

This has caused a sensation in European football, the Asians they have always discriminated against, in the field of coaching, the field that has always been dominated by Europeans and Americans, Leon is like the monkey who jumped out of the stone, and suddenly made a big fuss in the heavenly palace!

Seeing that Li Ang was surrounded by these well-known European media for interviews, these Chinese reporters who came to Monaco for on-site interviews were proud.

Take a look at the media that surrounded Leon: France Football, La Corpus, The Kicker, Der Spiegel, World Football, Milan Sport, Torino Sport, Roma Sport, Bild...... These are some of the most prestigious sports media in European football.

Usually, it is not easy for these media to interview a person alone, not to mention that now so many media surround Li Ang and jointly interview him.

***********

Leon met a 'strange acquaintance' in the venue.

This person is the current head coach of Sporting Gijón Antich, after Leon and Sporting Gijón 'broke up', Sporting Gijón chairman Manuel Arango chose the coach Antici after the 'audition'.

As the defending champion of La Liga, Sporting Gijón is naturally eligible for the Champions League in the new season.

Antici is one of only two Spanish coaches to have managed Real Madrid (1991/1992) and Barcelona (2003), leading Atletico Madrid to the Copa del Rey double in 1995/1996.

As the defending champion of La Liga last season, Sporting Gijón suffered serious blood loss this summer, but the foundation is still there, and it can already be regarded as a La Liga powerhouse, Antich is very interested in the challenging job of coaching Sporting Gijón, and he also meets the standard of Manuel Arango's famous coach, and the two sides finally hit it off.

The 2005 UEFA Super Cup was played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco in just one day, and last season's European Cup champions Liverpool defeated last season's UEFA Cup winners Sporting Gijón 3-1.

The two sides were tied 1-1 in the 90 minutes, with Sporting Gijón scoring first through Italian striker Di Natale, but the Reds relied on Cisse's two shots and one pass to equalise in 90 minutes before relying on extra-time to finally lift the UEFA Super Cup, which is also the third UEFA Super Cup in Liverpool's history.

Li Ang didn't watch that game, and after leaving Sporting Gijón, he didn't watch Sporting Gijón's game again, and the team that left his deep mark on it would only make him sad to watch.

Sporting Gijón saw a number of players leave this summer, with Juan Carlos and Juan Mata and Luka Modric following Leon to Inter Milan.

Branislav Ivanovic went to Chelsea.

Grosso went to Juventus.

Pepe went to Real Madrid.

The veteran Hierro chose to retire.

Benzema was bought back by Lyon for a high price.

Eight main players are leaving!

However, Benita withstood the pressure and kept the three slurs in the transfer market, Ribery, Di Natale and Milito, barely retaining a trace of vitality for Sporting Gijón.

The departure of these players has brought a huge transfer income of more than 100 million euros to Sporting Gijón, Manuel Arango took out 40 million euros for Antici to use for reinforcements, if it is an ordinary middle and lower team, the transfer funds of 40 million euros are quite good, but for Sporting Gijón, which has lost too many main players, despite the introduction of a number of players to supplement the strength, however, Spanish football is obviously not optimistic about Sporting Gijón in the post-Leon era, and directly excluded this team from the league championship contendersIf Li Ang is still the head coach of Sporting Gijón, the Spanish media may still have certain expectations for Sporting Gijón, but now, they are not optimistic about this defending champion, and there will be no dark horse miracle in the future!

The Gijón Athletic Youth Guard, which Li Ang single-handedly built, can already be said to have collapsed......

PS: 2nd update. It was past two o'clock in the night, and everyone had been waiting for a long time. Thank you for the reward of my famous meow sauce.
