Chapter 286: Anger!
The next day, Gijón's newspaper media was full of reports about the game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After losing in the Spanish Super Cup and losing two consecutive games in the league, Gijón's media and fans are very worried, and after the joy of returning to La Liga, they began to worry about the team's prospects for the new season, and they don't want the team to return to La Liga after a season.
The 4-1 win against Czech side Olomouc was a timely rain, as the team won their first win of the new season and the pressure was eased a bit.
Especially in this game, Diego Milito, Modric and Di Natale's three new players are on fire, and the previously criticized Ribery seems to have opened up all of a sudden, contributing two assists in the game, in short, such a victory, both from the process and the result, is very good.
Mitra, a reporter from "Voice of Gijon", also stood up at the right time to sing praises for Leon, "...... I've always had faith in Coach Leon, his vision is unquestionable, and for those who question the team's signings in the summer transfer window, I believe the next thing to do is to applaud the players for their performances...... Sporting Gijón had a bad start, which is directly related to the team's lineup changes and lack of run-in, and I believe that with the progress of the league, Coach Leon will not let us down. ”
As Leon's loyal 'partner', "Voice of Gijón" is seen by some as Leon's absolute supporter and mouthpiece, and the journalist Mitra is considered to be Leon's loyal lackey, a man who is always about to praise and praise Leon. In the eyes of those media who hate Li Ang, this media is simply too undisciplined, and it is simply kneeling and licking Li Ang.
"Voice of Gijon" ignores the criticism and complaints of those peers, and the other media just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, because they don't even have the qualifications to kneel and lick, and Li Ang doesn't bird them - they are now tasting the benefits of supporting Li Ang, "Voice of Gijon" is the only cooperative media designated by Li Ang, and this alone is enough to expand their market share a lot, you know, in this city, Li Ang's influence is huge. They praised Leon, praised the team, and the fans loved it.
***********
Seeing the benefits of what the "Voice of Gijón" did, the rest of the media in Gijón were not idle.
"Gijón Express" even dedicates two pages to praise Sporting Gijón's recruitment this summer.
They praised the players that Li Ang had introduced, and even had some suspicions of being insensitive.
But in fact, all the players that Li Ang brought in performed well.
Needless to say, Diego Milito had a goal in the previous game against Valencia, one of the few highlights of the Spanish Super Cup Sporting Gijón, and in this game, Milito made it difficult for the Czechs who were marking him, and successfully scored a goal, which was Olomoc's own goal, which was also credited by Milito.
The 25-year-old Argentine striker, who is worth 1.5 million euros, has now begun to show his strength, and over time, he will better integrate into the team and become a reliable weapon for Sporting Gijón's striker.
Di Natale's back-heel goal gave a glimpse of the spirituality of the Italian, who was about to turn 27 years old, and that such a goal and such a characteristic of a player were very popular among Spanish fans who admired the artistic style of football.
Grosso is also a new signing, the left-back is not as conspicuous as his Italian compatriots, but it is also very important, perhaps still adapting to the style of Spanish football, or the arrangement of manager Leon, the tall Grosso has not many assists, but the defense is very sophisticated and does not give the opponent any chance.
Not to mention Albertini, the former AC Milan star is the metronome of Sporting Gijón's midfield, and with him on the field, Sporting Gijón's attack began to improve, and the football became clear immediately after passing through the feet of the veteran Milan player.
The central defenders partner Hierro and Pepe, although they are still running in and need to enhance their tacit understanding, but Pepe's performance is good, his header ability is good, and he did not give the opponent any chance to play high-altitude balls in the game, and Pepe is more accurate in grabbing the card position, although sometimes it is a little rough, but at this time, the importance of introducing Hierro comes out, and there is an experienced Hierro next to him to help fill the leak, which is still more reliable for the center-back combination.
***********
In addition, Frank Ribery, who was introduced from the French lower league, played more alone in the first few games, but the characteristics are still relatively distinct, and the side breakthrough is very sharp, and in this game, I don't know what the head coach Li Ang did, he was able to make Ribery change his style of play, start passing, come on as a substitute, two assists, and performed very well.
And Modric, who came on as a substitute, played a board and scored with a long shot, which is also unforgettable.
As for the Serbian black man Ivanovic, who came on as a substitute, he has not yet made an eye, which is also because of the lack of playing time.
Others, such as the substitute goalkeeper Handanovic and the 16-year-old Benzema, one is because of the peculiarity of the goalkeeper's position, and the other is because he is too young, and the media has chosen to ignore these two people for the time being.
In a word, the introduction of Li Ang, who was criticized by the media before, because of a victory, those doubts immediately shut up, but instead sent all kinds of praise, almost overnight, Li Ang's magical magic of 'seeing people's eyes' returned......
***********
After the match against Olomoc, Leon gave the team a half-day off, but he did not have time to rest himself, and he needs to get to work immediately for the third round of the league in three days' time.
In the third round of La Liga, Sporting Gijón will travel to Zaragoza.
That's a tough stubble!
Zaragoza has a grudge against Sporting Gijón, to be precise, there is an old grudge with Leon's Sporting Gijón, last season's Copa del Rey, Zaragoza met Sporting Gijón in the semifinals, at that time everyone thought that Zaragoza would easily eliminate Sporting Gijón, and then meet Real Madrid in the final of the Bernabeu, but Zaragoza fell humiliatingly at the feet of Sporting Gijón!
That's right, it's a shame, the people of Zaragoza think it's a shame to be eliminated by a Spanish second division team like Sporting Gijón, and at that time, Zaragoza didn't let the Spanish media ridicule it.
Later, Real Madrid lost to Sporting Gijón in the Copa del Rey final, and the media began to laugh at Real Madrid, at that time, Zaragoza received less ridicule, after all, compared to Zaragoza, Real Madrid's loss to Sporting Gijón in its own home stadium and in the final is the biggest upset and fun.
Even so, the Zaragoza people still can't forget the shame of being eliminated by Sporting Gijón.
And after the new season of La Liga comes out, the Zaragoza people are looking forward to this match with Sporting Gijón.
They're going to get back on the field.
***********
And now that the match is approaching, the media in Zaragoza is also full of voices of revenge.
Previously, Sporting Gijón had lost two consecutive league games, but the media in Zaragoza were not idle, jumping up and down there, mocking Gijón's promoted team.
Sporting Gijón's poor start has given the Zaragozas a reason to defend themselves, as their elimination by Sporting Gijón last season was a complete accident, and the shame of this accident is now being washed away by themselves.
Even Zaragoza's media even appealed, believing that Zaragoza had to win more than 5-0 against Sporting Gijón in this game, and had to give Sporting Gijón a heavy defeat in order to be happy: even Mallorca could beat Sporting Gijón 2-0, and Zaragoza beat Sporting Gijón by more than 5 goals, what is the difficulty?!
The media outlet, Zaragoza Libre, even cites a number of reasons to justify the possibility of a big win over Sporting Gijón.
First of all, Sporting Gijón are in trouble, as evidenced by their four-game losing streak since the start of the season.
Secondly, the level of that Chinese coach is limited, after half a season, after the mystery on the Chinese is removed, there are only those two brushes, this person is not to be afraid.
Thirdly, the lads of Zaragoza are hungry for revenge, the players are in good shape, morale is high and the morale is available.
Fourth, if Zaragoza beats Sporting Gijón big, then Sporting Gijón head coach Li Ang, who lost three consecutive games at the beginning of the league, will have a more difficult life for this Chinese, and will be fired miserably, which is very happy.
"Zaragoza Libre" also specifically stated that many Zaragoza players also agree with this fourth point, and they plan to personally send the head coach of Sporting Gijón on the last ride to avenge the arrow. You know, after Zaragoza was eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Sporting Gijón last season, the Zaragoza manager was sacked, although the manager took the blame, but this is also a great humiliation for those players and this club.
They want revenge, what could be more refreshing than to give Sporting Gijón a fiasco and make that Chinese lose his job?!
***********
On 19 September 2004, Leon arrived in Zaragoza with the team to prepare for the third round of the league away game.
At the hotel where he was staying, assistant coach Scott Terry was assigning rooms.
Li Ang was busy talking on the phone and talking to Alice on the phone.
After a while, Scott returned, a newspaper in his hand, and stopped talking.
Leon hurriedly said goodbye to Alice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lee, look at it. Scottery angrily handed the newspaper to Leon.
"What?" Leon took it, a local newspaper in Zaragoza, and on the front page, it was a bold headline: Kick the Chinese in the ass!
There is also a cartoon below, which reads the words 'get out of class', and importantly, this cartoon is a yellow-skinned Qing Dynasty man with long pigtails kneeling in front of a big-nosed European......
At this moment, assistant coach Banderas also ran in, holding a thick stack of newspapers in his hand, "It's too much, it's too much, they actually put such newspapers in every room......"
Leon was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the other party was deliberately provoking him and showing him, because he was not sure which room he would stay in, so he simply put a copy of such a humiliating newspaper in all the rooms booked by Sporting Gijón.
Leon stared at the newspaper in his hand, staring at the ugly caricature, his face was gloomy, and there was a fire in his chest, burning strongly......
He was enraged.
