"What makes you think that you have the ability to lead Sporting de Gijón to avoid relegation? Mr. Li Ang, "the reporter from Voice of Gijón, Mitra, asked.
"Confidence! I have always had confidence in myself, just like when I took over Team B. I believed that I could lead Team B out of its predicament, and everyone saw the result, "Li Ang answered with a serious attitude.
"Thank you." Mitra looked at the Chinese coach and nodded to express his gratitude for answering the question. He silently chanted the word "confidence" in his heart. Was it only based on confidence? With Sporting de Gijón's current situation, it was not enough to rely on confidence to avoid relegation.
Li Ang looked at the middle-aged reporter. This reporter was the only one who said "thank you" after he answered the question. Based on this, he had a good impression of him.
"The First Team and Team B are very different. There are many examples of coaches who have excellent results in the youth team, but are not competent in the First Team …" a reporter continued to ask.
"That's someone else, not me!" Li Ang answered concisely.
"According to the information we have, you are only 27 years old this year. This age …"
"Since when does talent have anything to do with age? Moreover, I think that not only is my age not a problem, but it is also my advantage. Being young means that I have the drive, and that is exactly what Sporting Xi Hong is currently lacking. "Li Ang spoke with assurance.
Mitra, the reporter from Voice of Gijón, heard Li Ang's answer to the reporter and could not help but nod secretly. He agreed with the latter half of the sentence. Sporting de Gijón currently lacked drive.
There were still reporters who wanted to ask questions.
Li Ang looked at the watch on his wrist and spread his hands. "Sorry, time's up."
Some reporters were about to protest.
Li Ang gestured to stop them and said with a serious expression, "I took the time to cooperate with your interview, and I hope you can cooperate with us too! Now is the time for the team to train. You can stay and watch the training, or you can leave. It's up to you. "
With that, Li Ang turned around and left, ignoring the group of uncrowned kings. He was even more indifferent to their protests and shouts.
I said that the interview would be four minutes, so it will be four minutes. I have no obligation to spoil you.
The Sporting de Gijón players stared at the scene with their mouths agape.
"What are you waiting for?" Li Ang frowned. "You don't need to train anymore?"
Following his roar, the players hurried over. None of them were slow. This was a completely subconscious reaction. They were all stunned by the scene of this Chinese man debating with the reporter just now.
The effect was not bad. Li Ang looked at the group of players and took it all in.
*****
Some of the reporters outside the field left, while others stayed on the sidelines for the time being. They wanted to see what this Chinese man's first training session was like.
Li Ang looked at the players in front of him.
His mind was filled with information about these players.
After confirming yesterday that he would be the manager of the First Team, Li Ang began to understand his players.
Sporting de Gijón's First Team had 24 players, which was a more reasonable number of players.
Of the 24 players, 21 were Spanish, one was Dutch, one was Croatian, and one was Argentinian.
Of the two youngest players, one looked very excited, while the other had his head down and seemed to have a lot on his mind.
The one who was excited was Juan Mata. The 16-year-old kid was now very happy. He looked at Li Ang with a gleam of excitement in his eyes. He had transferred to Sporting de Gijón to join Li Ang. Previously, he had been called up to the First Team and had encountered such an irresponsible manager as Rachidía. Little Mata felt very wronged and hurt. Now that Li Ang was coaching the First Team, the kid suddenly felt that the sun was shining on the earth. This was really good.
Li Ang looked at the other kid who seemed to be in low spirits. He immediately matched him with the information in his mind and knew who he was. This was one of the three non-Spanish players on the team. The 18-year-old Dutch player, Jeffrey, was said to be a young player that Rachidía admired very much. Now that Rachidía was dismissed, this kid must be feeling uneasy.
While Li Ang was looking at these players, many of the players were also looking at their new manager.
The players, who had just recovered from the shock of the incident, looked at their manager. Their first impression was that he was young. They heard that he was only 27 years old, which was younger than some of the team's veterans.
If it had been ten minutes ago, these players might have shown an expression of disbelief or even disdain when they saw Li Ang's young face. However, at this moment, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, no one had an expression of disrespect.
This guy was fearless in the face of so many reporters. He seemed to be full of confidence and had a lot of confidence.
He did not look like someone to be trifled with.
This was what the players were thinking now.
They still had to observe and observe the manager's words and actions. This was a stage of contact.
And the calm of this contact stage was obviously what Li Ang urgently needed.
Therefore, he had indeed achieved his goal by using these reporters to establish his authority for the players to see!
*****
Li Ang looked at these players and began to speak. "Some of you should have heard enough about me, but let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Ang. I'm from China. From today onwards, I'm your manager! First of all, I want to make one thing clear. You can call me manager, but don't call me sir! Of course, your teammates, Juan and Mata, have always called me boss. You can do as you see fit. "
"First of all, I want to make one thing clear. From today onwards, it's a new beginning for all of you. I won't care who among you was the main player and who was the substitute when we were at La Silva. That's all in the past! Under my management, if you want to play football and play as the main player, there is only one way, and that is to have a proper attitude! The attitude in training and the attitude in the game! Attitude determines everything! Whoever trains hard and is in a good state will be used by me! This is the only standard I have for using people! If anyone slacks off in training and in the game, the bench will be waiting for you at any time. Or I won't mind increasing the number of players in Team B. "
The players looked at Li Ang. Some of them were old foxes who felt that their strength was not bad, or some of the players who already had the intention to leave, and the corners of their mouths curled up in a sneer. Apparently, they did not take Li Ang's words to heart.
Li Ang saw the expressions of these people in his eyes. Of course, he didn't expect these people to obediently comply with his words.
He said these words only to express his attitude and give them a preventive shot.
What he meant was: I've already said the ugly words first. When the time comes, if anyone dares to offend me, don't blame me for being ruthless!
He looked at these players and a sense of pride welled up in his chest. These were his players, these were his team!
With this group of players, he would blow the battle horn of 'fighting a new world' in Spanish football!
It was his first game as manager of Sporting de Gijón … Who was the opponent for the next game? This question popped up in his mind. He was a little impatient.
