Before the afternoon training began.
Li Ang gathered the whole team.
"There's bad news." Li Ang looked sad. "At a critical moment for the team to avoid relegation, we have two important players injured."
Looking at Li Ang's "miserable" expression, some of the players cheered in their hearts. Of course, they knew what had happened at noon.
It was the counterattack of some of the players who could not stand Li Ang's high-intensity training. If Juan was acting alone, then David Lago, who "took the initiative to get injured," was the representative pushed by these players.
With Juan, the main right midfielder, and David Lago, the more important rotating midfielder, to rebel together, they did not believe that the Chinese man would not give in.
All of a sudden, there were two midfielders missing, which had a huge impact on the team's formation.
These people were feeling proud in their hearts, and then they heard the manager's next words.
Li Ang saw the expressions of some people, but he did not pay attention to them. Instead, he continued with a sad and sincere expression. "I'm very sorry that two important players will be absent from the team for a long time."
Wait, absent for a long time? What did he mean?
Some of the players who reacted quickly immediately froze.
*****
"I know that Juan and Lago must be very upset after their injuries because they also want to contribute to the team. I can understand their feelings, but health is the most important thing for the players! Given that their injuries are very serious, I've decided that until the end of the season, they can recuperate in peace … The team will be responsible for the health of the players and will never let them take the risk to play! "
Hearing Li Ang's words, everyone, including the players who were causing trouble and the other players who were still relatively well-behaved, everyone! Their faces suddenly changed.
What did the manager mean?
Was he going to completely exclude Juan and Lago from the team's lineup?
How dare he?!
These were the two midfielders of the team. One was the absolute main force, and the other was an important substitute. These two players were taken down just like that? If he took down these two players, how could he still have players to use?!
These people were all looking at Li Ang. However, this person's smiling face was so terrifying in their eyes. The manager was serious!
The captain of the team, Miguel Kobas, was also stunned.
He did not expect the manager to be so ruthless!
Not only was he ruthless to these dishonest players, but he was also ruthless to himself. Crippling two midfielders in one go would definitely affect Sporting de Gijón's strength. How dare this Chinese man cripple his own martial arts at such a crucial time to avoid relegation?!
As the captain of the team, Miguel Korbas could not remain indifferent. He winked at a stunned staff member who passed by on the sidelines. The staff member was stunned for a moment before he understood what was going on. Then, he trotted away.
Li Ang saw all of this but did not pay attention to it.
*****
"I hope that Juan and Largo's injuries will not affect the team's preparation for the match." Li Ang said. Then he directly skipped the topic and began to talk about the problems that the players had in the morning training.
"When attacking, once you lose possession of the ball, you need to counterattack on the spot!"
"You have to understand the importance of counterattacking on the spot!"
While Li Ang was speaking with fervor and assurance, two guys came running over, huffing and puffing.
It was Juan and David Lago. These two guys were resting and bragging in the physiotherapy room. This one was very proud of himself. When they heard the words of the staff who came to inform them, the two of them were dumbfounded.
"Really?" David Largo swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief.
The staff member nodded vigorously. He had run too fast and was tired.
Then, David Largo rushed out of the physiotherapy room without saying a word.
Juan was still in a daze, muttering, "How dare he, how dare he."
"He just dares!" The staff member shouted at the top of his voice. What he meant was, "Is he an idiot? He's still struggling with this problem."
Then, Juan finally reacted and ran to the training ground as if his life depended on it.
Looking at the two guys who were almost sprinting towards him at the speed of 100 meters, Li Ang sneered.
He did not pay attention to the two guys at all and continued his tactical speech.
"Counterattacking on the spot! This is not just to delay the opponent's attack! Moreover, once we can intercept the ball, we can launch an attack from the opponent's half of the field. This is equivalent to reducing our running distance and time! "
The players looked at the scene in a daze. They looked at the manager who did not seem to see the two big, breathing men in front of him. He actually ignored them and continued to talk.
*****
"Coach." David Largo could not help but interrupt Li Ang. He understood that if he did not speak, the Chinese man would continue to ignore him.
"Coach." Juan also said in a muffled voice. He was still angry in his heart. He still did not think that Li Ang would really dare to hurt him. He had always been the team's main right midfielder and an indispensable player on the team!
"Well? Why are you here? " Li Ang said in surprise. His expression was as if he had suddenly seen the two big, living men. "Why aren't you resting in the physiotherapy room? What are you doing on the training ground?"
The players who watched this scene were dumbfounded. Could this person be any more shameless?
Li Ang quickly told them with words and deeds that he could!
David Largo took a breath and was about to continue speaking.
Li Ang did not give him a chance to speak. "I said, I understand your enthusiasm to contribute to the team. In fact, I'm sorry to be without you. However, as a manager, I can't risk the health of a player …"
Some of the players chuckled. These players should be the kind who had more professional ethics. Their attitude in training was also more correct. They had long disliked the behavior of some players who did not work hard. At this time, seeing this scene, they felt inexplicably good.
Hearing Li Ang's words of concern, David Largo was dumbfounded.
"Have a good rest." Li Ang patted David Largo on the shoulder.
Then he turned to look at Juan, who was also looking at him.
"Juan, you too. Have a good rest. Don't think about the team. The matter of avoiding relegation has nothing to do with you. What's important is that you get healthy and return to the team as soon as possible!"
Juan stared blankly at Li Ang. He was dumbfounded. It was not until this moment that he believed that Li Ang really dared to make an example of him.
And listening to Li Ang's words of concern, Juan's mind seemed to have ten thousand alpacas running wildly.
I don't need to rest. I'm healthy. I can return to the team now! He roared in his mind. In his stupor, he forgot to speak.
The training ground was unusually quiet. The players looked at the scene and were stunned. Some of them gritted their teeth. This Chinese man was really ruthless!
Two important players on the team were crippled just like that!
He really dared to do that!!!
He really dared!
At this time, poor David Largo stuttered and shouted, "I'm fine. I'm really fine. Coach, I can do it … I feel that my injury is not a big problem …"
Juan also reacted and quickly expressed that he was fine. He could continue to play and he had to contribute to the team.
Li Ang looked at the two guys and said in a very serious and sincere tone, "If I were a coach who only cared about the results of the game, maybe I would agree to let you return to the team regardless of your health. But I'm not that kind of person. I have to be responsible for my players. So, although I understand your feelings to contribute to the team, I can't do that!"
"Listen to me. Rest well! Don't think so much. Injuries are inevitable. Don't be too sad. The sun always comes after the rain. I hope to see you alive and kicking next season! "
Li Ang's face was sincere and full of concern. Even his expression seemed to be regretting that the team had lost two important players.
However, the people around looked at the scene and felt their hair stand on end. They all scolded him in their hearts. Bastard, can you be any more shameless and despicable?!
No one noticed that at this time, in the distance, under the leadership of Team B's manager, Fernandez, the young lads who had been recruited by Li Ang were walking over in high spirits …
"Remember, the sun always comes after the rain!" Li Ang said with a slight sigh as he patted the shoulders of the two unlucky guys who had overestimated themselves and challenged his authority.
