This was a tactical deception!
Ever since Li Ang declared his intention to slaughter Aravis at the pre-match press conference, this tactical deception had already begun!
Li Ang carefully studied Aravis as an opponent!
Very difficult to deal with!
Very difficult to deal with!
This team's strength was much higher than Sporting de Gijón's.
Most importantly, Li Ang had only taken over the team for a few days. It was impossible to expect him to get this group of defeated players to be able to fight Aravis head-on!
He had the system and a cheat, but he was not a god!
Since a head-on confrontation was not possible, Li Ang began to think of other ways!
In China's five thousand years of history, war strategies were unpredictable.
Li Ang was not a master of the art of war, but as a Chinese, how could he not know Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems?!
That's right, Li Ang was using the art of war of our ancestors on the football field. It was a last resort, but it also showed his intelligence and decisiveness.
First, it was his arrogant declaration at the press conference. While angering the opponent, it also made the opponent think that he would attack with all his strength.
Then, when the game started, Sporting de Gijón's "unambitious" defensive tactics would once again anger Aravis' manager, Olić. Then, this person would definitely think that he had been fooled and that Li Ang was playing tricks with the ultimate goal of a draw!
This was his change of tactics in the second half of the game to dig a hole!
This tactical deception looked very simple, but it was very subtle. It took into account the opponent's strength and the various reactions of the opponent's manager!
And these few days, the offensive routine that the team had been practicing was the killer move of the second half of the game!
*****
This was Li Ang's first game as manager of Sporting de Gijón. It was very important to him, and equally important to Sporting de Gijón.
The three leaders of the team, the club's chairman, Manuel Arango, the club's vice-chairman, Beretta, and the club's general manager, Alexandre Elroyd, all appeared in the chairman's box at the stadium to watch the game.
At this time, nearly ten minutes had passed during the halftime interval. After the three club executives left the stadium for a short break, they returned to the chairman's box.
At that moment, the topic of their discussion was naturally the first half of the match and Li Ang.
"In the first half, I only saw defense!" Beretta, the club's vice-chairman, said bluntly, "I've already said that the Chinese is no good. What did he bring to the team? Are there any positive changes? No! Instead, it makes the competition even uglier! "
The club's general manager, Alexander Elroyd, immediately retorted, "At the very least, we haven't conceded a goal in the first half!"
Although he was not satisfied with the team's turtle-like defense, Ayroyd still insisted on standing on Li Ang's side. He was the general manager of the club and followed the will of the chairman. Since the chairman supported Li Ang, he had to sit tight.
"This is the first time in the past month that the team hasn't conceded a goal at the end of the first half of a game!" Arroyd said.
"So what?" Beretta snorted coldly. "I can already imagine what those reporters will say. If Gihon advances, they will only defend like a coward. Our team will become a laughing stock for not making progress."
"That's still better than letting the opponent score six goals! At the very least, in the first half of today's game, the players worked hard and were in good condition. This is something that Rashidria did not do! "Ayroyd said sarcastically, which was also a fair statement for Li Ang. The former manager, Rashidria, was recommended by the vice-chairman. If there was someone to blame for the team's current state, the vice-chairman would certainly be responsible.
If Li Ang had heard this conversation, he would have been enlightened. He had never understood why the vice-chairman had been targeting him. Apart from the fact that he was Chinese and Beretta did not think that a Chinese was capable, it had something to do with Li Ang replacing Rashidria, whom he had recommended.
"Well, let's see what changes there will be in the second half of the game." Manuel Arango, who had not spoken, said.
"What changes can there be? Isn't it still defending like a tortoise? "Beretta said sarcastically.
The chairman glanced at Beretta and did not speak. He was also anxious. What was this Chinese kid thinking? Didn't he play offensive football in the B Team? How did he turn the First Team into a team that only knew how to defend?
Seeing that the chairman was silent, Ayroyd thought for a moment and comforted him. "At the very least, in the first half of the game, there was still a good side. We did not concede a goal, and the kid from the B Team performed well. He's a talent. "
He was talking about the starting defensive midfielder, Marcos. The kid who had just been transferred to the First Team and was directly in the starting lineup had surprised people with his steady and mature performance. This was not a performance that a seventeen-year-old kid should have.
"Are you talking about the kid we spent money to bring in from Real Madrid?" Beretta said sarcastically. In the first half of the game, Mata was almost invisible, and Mata was Li Ang's favorite player. Beretta took advantage of this point and attacked again.
"You know I'm talking about the defensive midfielder kid." Ayroyd glared at him.
Old Arango glanced at the two of them, and they both glared at each other. He snorted coldly and did not speak.
*****
The second half of the game was about to start. Elstow and Spielson, who had returned to the commentator's seat, continued to mock Li Ang.
The two gold medal commentators finally said something good about Sporting de Gijón.
"Marcos!" Elstow said. "This seventeen-year-old kid is in the First Team for the first time, and he's in the starting lineup in the first game. His performance today is good."
"Yes, Aravis' offense has not been able to score today. This has something to do with Sporting de Gijón's defense. Among them, the kid named Marcos' performance was particularly outstanding."
"The Chinese player is lucky. With the help of Xi Hong's youth training, the team provided him with a good seedling," Elstow said.
The two top commentators naturally did not have time to work hard to understand the situation of Xi Hong's promotion. Naturally, they did not know the story of Marcos.
However, the fans of Sporting de Gijón knew. They knew the story of Marcos. This kid, who was almost terminated by the former manager of Team B, Osvaldo, was retained by Li Ang, who had a good eye for talent. He successfully positioned this kid as a full-time defensive midfielder. That was how Marcos had the present and the foreseeable good future.
"I've always liked Elstow and Spielson, but now I hate these two guys!"
"Yes, they don't know at all. They're just talking nonsense. Marcos was discovered and trained by Li Ang. "
"Yes, when I saw Marcos start today, I was worried that this kid would have stage fright, but his performance was great."
The fans were very happy. Marcos's wonderful performance was a topic that made them happy. For the fans, nothing made them happier than having good seedlings in their youth training camp.
"Marcos is good, but Mata's performance today was terrible."
"This has little to do with Mata. The whole team did not attack. What can he do?" A fan defended Mata. He paid attention to Team B and knew how good this kid's performance was in Team B.
"Juan Mata." Elstow also mentioned Mata at this time. "This kid from Real Madrid was brought in by China. They even exchanged the team's genius, Pallada, for Mata. But obviously, this kid's performance today was terrible."
"The Chinese people's vision is not very good," Spielson said.
At this time, the Aravis players had already appeared on the pitch. They were so eager. Obviously, the zero to zero score in the first half of the game stimulated the Aravis players. They could not wait for the second half of the game to start …
