"Everyone." Li Ang faced the reporters, the microphones they extended, and the cameras. He smiled and said, "I know why you are here, and I know what questions you want to ask."
The reporters looked at him and did not interrupt him. They wanted to see what this Chinese man had to say.
"Now is not the time for a press conference." Li Ang continued, "So, I have no obligation, and there is no need for me to accept an interview."
"We have the right to interview you!" Seeing that Li Ang seemed to want to refuse the interview, a reporter shouted loudly.
Li Ang glanced at the reporter's logo. It was Marca, a big media outlet in Madrid.
"I have the right to refuse!" Li Ang said. He saw that someone was about to protest. "Shut up! Let me finish what I have to say. "
Shut up?! Shut up!
The reporters at the scene were stunned. This guy actually cursed. How rude!
In front of them, in front of so many reporters, how dare he be so rude? Was this guy crazy?
"You are too rude," someone shouted.
Li Ang looked. It was Mundo Deportivo, Catalonia's media outlet. It was also a big newspaper.
The big media outlets in the capital, Madrid, and Barcelona, were all here. They really gave him face.
"You interrupted me. This is also a manifestation of rudeness." Li Ang sneered. "First of all, I want to make one thing clear. This is not a press conference. This is the Maleo training base. This is the training ground. I did not invite you here! You came here on your own accord! Your arrival has disturbed the normal training order of the team! "
"Uninvited guests are bad guests," Li Ang said. "How else do you want me to entertain you? Do you want coffee? "
The reporters were furious. According to common sense, Li Ang was right. They came here on their own accord, and it was rude of them to disturb Sporting de Gijón's normal training. However, they did not feel that way. They were reporters, uncrowned kings. Everywhere they went, they were treated well, and the interviewees were not polite. Why was it that when it came to Sporting de Gijón, an inexperienced China man, a rookie coach dared to be so arrogant?
Yes, they felt offended by Li Ang's arrogance.
They did not consider how rude their behavior was.
Li Ang wasn't a very aggressive person. He didn't intend to be so tough with the media. However, these people were here to pick a fight. Besides, he wanted to use these media to establish his authority and show his tough style. . that was all he could do.
For a manager, offending the media might be a headache, but the media could not determine his job. What determined his job was the results of the team he led.
Moreover, Li Ang was very clear about the media's conduct. Even if one had not eaten pork, they would have seen pigs run.
The most typical example was Mourinho, the 'Magic Bird' who later became famous in Europe. His relationship with the media was very tense, and it was common for him to argue with the media. There were countless reports criticizing Mourinho for his arrogance, but did this have any effect on Mourinho? No! Mourinho led the team to good results, and he won many championships. His reputation grew, and his salary grew higher! The media needed to rely on hyping Mourinho to make a living. Each of them had to hug Mourinho's thigh, hoping that he would take the initiative to scold them for hype.
When Mourinho led the team to stand at the top of Europe, even the media who disliked him the most had to praise him. Every word he said was the media's headline!
Of course, at that time, Mourinho was only the manager of FC Porto in the Portuguese Super League.
Li Ang, on the other hand, was a nobody.
However, it was because he understood these and the nature of the media that he was not afraid of offending them.
Instead, he wanted to use these guys.
*****
"I understand everyone's hard work." Li Ang suddenly smiled, looking very humble. As he spoke, he looked at the watch on his wrist. "There are still five minutes before the start of the training. I can accept five minutes of your interview."
This group of uncrowned kings was really shocked. They felt that they had really opened their eyes today.
Look at this Chinese man, looking so arrogant, and only giving them five minutes of interview time.
This was definitely the conduct of a big shot manager.
Who do you think you are?
Someone was about to make a sarcastic remark.
"There are still four and a half minutes." Li Ang said, "Today is my first day coaching the First Team. I'm already taking care of everyone. Don't make it difficult for me."
Smitra, the reporter from the Voice of Gijon, looked at this scene. He was suddenly very interested in this young Chinese manager.
In the face of so many reporters, this guy was neither servile nor overbearing. He was very calm. He did not look like a rookie who had never seen a big scene before.
Smitra could understand the anger of his peers. If Li Ang's attitude and words came from the mouths of famous managers like Ancelotti, Ferguson, or Wenger, there would be no problem. Now that it came from the mouth of this rookie manager, everyone felt offended and felt that this person was extremely arrogant.
"Everyone can only ask one question." Li Ang said. At the same time, he glanced not far away. Assistant manager Skrtel and the players were completely dumbfounded. They were staring at him with their mouths agape.
"Time is limited. Please forgive me!"
Look, look, Li Ang's words were still very polite, although these words revealed a definitely not friendly attitude.
The reporters looked at this Chinese man with very unfriendly eyes. If possible, these eyes could poke a few holes in Li Ang's body.
When they were interviewing a small club like Segunda División, when had they ever been treated like this?
However, the situation was stronger than the person. This guy obviously would not be easy to work with. They had come from afar with an interview mission. They could not let their emotions affect their decisions. They could only endure this.
For the time being, they could only endure this. However, Chinese man, let's wait and see.
The interview began.
The first to ask the question was a reporter from Marca. As a big newspaper in the capital and one of the top three newspapers in Spain, he was qualified to be the first to ask the question.
"As far as we know, you have never coached the first team. It can be said that you are very inexperienced." The reporter from Marca, Phelps, asked, "Why did Sporting de Gijón choose you to coach the first team, especially when the team's situation is so bad?"
"The club believes that I have the ability to lead the team out of the doldrums! They believe in my ability. That's the reason! "Li Ang said with a smile.
This answer was really … Phelps stared at Li Ang and was about to continue asking questions. Someone had already asked a new question.
Phelps turned his head angrily. Which media was so rude? But when he saw that it was Barcelona's Mundo Deportivo, his old rival, he could only shut his mouth resentfully.
Li Ang originally wanted to remind these people to pay attention to the "interview discipline." They could only ask one question. But when he saw the reporter from Mundo Deportivo rebuke Marca, he was happy. These two media, one was the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, and the other was the mouthpiece of Barcelona. Their relationship had always been tense and they fought everywhere. As expected.
"What do you mean by out of the doldrums?" Suerte, the reporter from Mundo Deportivo, asked.
"Of course, it's to lead the team to successfully avoid relegation!" Li Ang smiled.
Suerte, the reporter from Mundo Deportivo, glanced at Li Ang and did not continue asking questions. Instead, he nodded and left.
Good, as long as you follow the rules. Li Ang thought to himself.
"You are a Chinese. As far as I know, the level of China's football is very bad …"
"Does my country have anything to do with my coaching ability? Trinidad and Tobago can produce star players, but can't China have excellent coaches? "Li Ang asked coldly.
Trinidad and Tobago was a small country, but this small country had produced an international star player, Manchester United's frontline general, York. Therefore, Li Ang's example was very appropriate, and the reporter could not refute it for a while.
"Next!" Li Ang glanced at the man and said coldly.
He could face other questions with a smile. But he would not give a good face to this kind of person who opened fire and even suspected of discrimination.
Not far away, Sporting de Gijón's assistant manager, Scott Terry, and a large group of players were completely stunned at this time.
They looked at the scene with their mouths agape.
Have you ever seen a manager accept so many media joint interviews (collective questioning) on the training ground on the first day of coaching a team?
Have you ever seen such a strong rookie manager?
One person, facing so many reporters, was fearless, eloquent, neither servile nor overbearing, and dealt with them with ease!
So many reporters, including the two major media outlets in Spain, were dismissed by him with one sentence.
He was so cool that he had no friends.
They heard Li Ang's words clearly. Li Ang's words expressed his strong confidence in leading Sporting de Gijón to avoid relegation shocked these people.
Our players are already so pessimistic. What makes you so confident?!
Is this person really so good that he can be so confident?!
Otherwise, how could he dare to say such confident words? How could he dare to treat these media reporters with such an attitude?!
If he did not have anything to rely on, how could he dare?!
This person led Team B and turned the tide. Now, he is coaching the First Team. Does he have such confidence in his ability?!
And this person, this is our manager?!
They were stunned by the scene they saw!
And obviously, this was the effect Li Ang wanted.
Li Ang wanted to show that he was very good, that he was very capable, that he was very powerful, that he was very confident, that he had absolute confidence. In other words, he was not afraid of offending you bunch of trash because he was very good!
