Li Ang naturally did not know about the anger of the Vallecano people. Even if he knew, he would not care. His principle was to beat his opponents!
You're angry, aren't you? Bite me!
After the morning training ended, Li Ang explained and corrected some of the problems that the players encountered during training.
Then, after lunch, he rested in his office.
Lying on the sofa bed, yes, the same sofa bed that Alice rested on the day before yesterday, Li Ang fell asleep quickly. He was really exhausted. He had been racking his brain for the past few days for the game with Vallecano. The game was finally coming, and he was unusually tired.
Bang, bang, bang.
The knocking on the door woke Li Ang up.
"Come in!"
It was the assistant manager, Fernandez, who came in with an excited look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Li Ang washed his face and picked up a towel to wipe his face. "Did Trish agree to your proposal?"
Li Ang joked. Fernandez was already in his forties and had three children with his girlfriend, Trish. However, they were not married, which was common in Western society. However, Fernandez seemed to want to get a "marriage certificate" recently.
Before Fernandez could speak, another assistant manager, Paller, appeared behind him with an equally excited look. "Li, our game venue has been changed."
"Hmm? What's going on? "Li Ang asked, then his eyes widened. Could it be?
Fernandez and Paller both nodded vigorously, meaning, "Yes, that's it. You guessed it right."
They had just received a notice that the Spanish Serie C match with Vallecano would not be held at the training ground of the Maleo training base. Instead, it would be moved to the team's home ground, the El Molinón Stadium!
Li Ang's breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes were shining.
He remembered the sentence in the team's magazine that he bought from the newsstand on the first day he came to Gijón:
1976-1996, still remember the golden 20 years!
In these 20 years, you were strong when you met strong opponents, and never retreated! In the glorious El Molinón Stadium, you met the two Spanish heroes countless times and defeated them countless times!
You are a legend!
We are the Red and White Army — Rojiblanca!
At that time, this simple sentence had made his blood boil.
El Molinon!
Li Ang had admired this stadium for a long time. Of course, he had been to the stadium before, but that was as a spectator. He looked forward to the day when he would lead the team in this stadium and appear there as the owner of the stadium!
Only when they played in the El Molinon Stadium could they be considered a true red and white team.
This was the dream of all the coaches at the Maleo training base.
*****
"Why did you suddenly change the venue?" After the excitement, Li Ang calmed down and asked with a smile.
Fernandez and Pallas looked at Li Ang and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Ang was a little confused.
Wasn't it all because of you? Fernandez explained with a smile. Li Ang, as the manager, went against the radical fans alone in order to protect his players. He even made a bet with the fans. Not only did this incident cause an uproar in Gijón, even the other Spanish media began to pay attention to it.
Reporters from all over Spain began to gather in Gijón.
A Segunda División match actually attracted so much attention. This was really unprecedented.
"Televisión Nacional 5 also decided at the last minute to broadcast this match live." Pallas revealed another piece of juicy news.
Li Ang was stunned. Televisión Nacional 5? He knew this TV station. This TV station was equivalent to CCTV 5 in China. It was one of the few big TV stations in Spain, and it specialized in broadcasting sports events. Generally, it only broadcast Segunda División and La Liga matches.
There had never been a precedent of broadcasting a Segunda División match live. Now, they were going to broadcast the Segunda División match between Sporting de Gijón B and Rayo Vallecano!
"This is a national broadcast," Li Ang muttered to himself.
"Yes, a national broadcast," Fernandez said. Fernandez said, "Only the El Molinon Stadium has the facilities for a national broadcast."
Li Ang nodded. So that was the most important reason. Televisión Nacional 5 suddenly decided to broadcast the Segunda División match live. Only a standard stadium had the facilities to broadcast it live. Therefore, this match was moved to Sporting de Gijón's home stadium, El Molinon Stadium.
This was mainly because of the live broadcast on the TV station.
However, if Li Ang had not been so "troublesome" and "so troublesome," it would not have attracted the interest of Televisión Nacional 5, and they would not have broadcast the match live. Naturally, there would not have been a chance for the match to be played in El Molinon Stadium.
*****
The match between Sporting de Gijón B and Rayo Vallecano, due to the overwhelming media hype, attracted a large number of Sporting de Gijón fans. They swarmed into the Maleo training base, ready to watch the match.
They were all very curious as to why the Chinese coach dared to say that he would beat Rayo Vallecano by three goals, and why he dared to accept the extremely harsh bet made by the fans at that time.
Among them, many female fans swarmed into the Maleo training base. They were all attracted by the news on the local TV station in Gijón. Li Ang went up against a group of fans alone. That image of his perseverance made these soft Spanish girls and young women particularly excited. They all wanted to come to the scene and see with their own eyes this Asian man who made their hearts beat faster.
Just after noon, the Maleo training base was overcrowded.
The staff at the base were so busy that they were sweating profusely.
They had never seen such a situation before. A Segunda División match, a match between the reserves, had attracted such crazy attention.
Just as they were overwhelmed with work, a life-saving news came.
Then, the loudspeakers at the Maleo training base began to broadcast that the match between Sporting de Gijón B and Rayo Vallecano would be moved to El Molinon Stadium!
Everyone, please leave Maleo and go to the team's home stadium to watch the match.
There was a burst of cheers from the surging crowd. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The large crowd began to march towards El Molinon Stadium.
In fact, although the Maleo training base was overcrowded, the number of fans who came to the Maleo training base had not reached less than half of the number of people who wanted to watch the match. Some people who were interested in the match did not come to the training base because the Maleo training base could not hold enough people. This also made some fans who were originally interested in the match feel crowded and did not choose to come to Maleo to watch the match. Now they had received news from Maleo that the match would be moved to El Molinon Stadium.
Although there was also news that the match would be broadcasted live on Spain's national television channel 5, these fans still decided to watch the match live. Watching the match in front of the television was not as exciting as watching the match now. They were excited. They popped their heads out from their homes, from the bars, from various places, and headed towards El Molinon Stadium.
A Segunda División match, such an ordinary match.
Because a Chinese coach had stirred up a storm in this port city in the north of Spain.
PS: First update. Guaranteed first update. It was supposed to be at eight in the morning, but I forgot to publish it on time. I am not used to publishing it on time.
I apologize to everyone. I will not make such a low-level mistake again.
