Sporting de Gijón's assistant manager, Jesús Scotri, was cheering for the goal.
He jumped up and planned to celebrate with Li Ang. He remembered Li Ang saying, "Who said we would be eliminated?" Could it be that at that time, Li Ang was sure that the team could score again and eliminate Aravés?!
Eliminating Aravés and reaching the top four of the Copa del Rey was something that Scotri did not even dare to think about. However, Li Ang dared to think about it. Not only did he dare to think about it, but he also dared to do it. Li Ang called Miguel Kobas to the side of the training ground to instruct him. Scotri listened and watched from the side. Therefore, he knew that the goal was definitely not an accident. It was Li Ang's tactical adjustment, and it was the result of a fatal blow at the last moment!
It could be said that it was this young Chinese colleague who single-handedly directed Sporting de Gijón's super reversal in today's game!
Scotri wanted to give this Chinese colleague a good hug.
He did not expect that just as he came back to his senses, he saw that Li Ang was no longer beside him!
Where did Li Ang go?
Then he turned his head and saw the Sporting de Gijón manager running wildly and doing three consecutive front somersaults to celebrate.
"Oh my God!" Scotri opened his mouth wide. He had heard that the team's new manager had done a somersault to celebrate after the players scored in the B team's big victory over Rayo Vallecano. He had not seen it with his own eyes, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
It was good to be young.
Scotri looked at the scene and laughed.
He suddenly became optimistic about Sporting de Gijón's prospects of avoiding relegation this season.
*****
"It's unbelievable!" The commentator, Spielson, said. "Sporting de Gijón scored at the last moment. Now, they are leading Aravés by three to nil. This score also means that Sporting de Gijón will eliminate Aravés with an away goal —" As he spoke, the commentator also saw the Sporting de Gijón commentator's somersault celebration. His mouth opened wide, and then he laughed. "Look! Look! What did we see? The legendary somersault celebration! Previously, when he was in Team B, he had such a celebration. Now that we are seeing it again, we can see that he is really excited! In fact, he has a reason to be excited. This Chinese guy really surprised us in his first game! "
After a pause, Spielson also sighed with emotion. "It's good to be young. His physique is so good. This action is really handsome!"
Hearing his words, the Sporting de Gijón fans in front of the television burst into cheers. In fact, the Sporting de Gijón fans had been celebrating ever since the goal was scored.
"So cool!"
"I've never seen such a manager before! I like him! "
"Three to zero! Are we going to eliminate Aravis? "
"That's right! That was right! We will eliminate Aravis! "
"Top four! We are the ones who will enter the semifinals! "
At this time, the other commentator, Elstow, who had been attacking Li Ang and criticizing Sporting de Gijón, had been silent. It was not until this time that he said this sourly, "This Chinese guy really knows how to steal the limelight from his own players! He is not the one who scored! "
Unsurprisingly, Elstow's words caused the Sporting de Gijón fans to be dissatisfied.
How could he talk like that?
Of course, the manager could not have scored, but as long as one was not blind, as long as one watched the game, one would know that Sporting de Gijón's big comeback and Sporting de Gijón's three goals were the success of Li Ang's tactics. It was the manager, Li Ang, who directed this great game!
It was really beneath the gold medal commentator to say such words. Everyone could hear his sour tone. This guy who attacked and criticized Li Ang throughout the game must be feeling very uncomfortable now.
Spielson glanced at his old partner. He did not know what to say. He could only say that Elstow was too stubborn.
*****
In front of the TV, the other two famous commentators of Spanish National 5, Dagestino and González, were also watching the game. The two old buddies were toasting Li Ang.
Ever since they had commentated on the Spanish Serie C match between Sporting de Gijón B and Rayo Vallecano, the two of them had a good impression of Li Ang and began to pay attention to this Chinese guy.
They did not expect that after only three months, the Chinese coach would become the manager of Sporting de Gijón's first team.
It was not their turn to commentate this game, so the two of them simply found a bar to watch the game. They also wanted to know what Li Ang could produce in his first game as the manager of the first team, leading a team that had not won in three months.
The media was questioning Li Ang and criticizing Li Ang.
The two commentators, who had a good impression of Li Ang, also felt that Li Ang's first game would be very difficult. For a manager who had only taken over a team in such a bad state for three days, the time was too tight. It would be difficult to achieve anything in such a short time. They also did not think that Li Ang's debut would have a good result. The two of them had discussed it and finally felt that it would be better if Sporting de Gijón did not lose too badly.
Then, the first half of the game gave them a huge shock.
The two commentators, who were on break, had been discussing the game and Li Ang's tactics during the game. When Mata scored for Sporting de Gijón at the start of the second half, Dagestino and González looked at each other. The two of them, who had some understanding of Li Ang, immediately saw that something was different. The two of them suspected that the goal was not an accident or luck, but a reflection of Li Ang's tactics.
Sure enough, Sporting de Gijón quickly scored a second goal, confirming their guesses.
They were also full of praise for Li Ang because, based on their many years of experience in commentating, Sporting de Gijón and Li Ang were doomed in this game. They did not expect Li Ang to lead Sporting de Gijón to play a game that surprised them.
However, even so, the two of them did not think that Sporting de Gijón would be able to score again to eliminate Alavis, because Alavis, who had recovered, was unlikely to give Sporting de Gijón a chance to launch a sneak attack.
Because they did not expect it, when they saw Sporting de Gijón score again, changing the score to 3-0, the two knowledgeable commentators were very excited. To be able to see such a wonderful game and such a wonderful tactic was indeed worthy of a toast!
"Sporting de Gijón is going to eliminate Alavis," Dagestino said.
"Alavis is finished." González nodded. The reason why he made such a judgment was not only because the game was almost over and there were only two minutes left for Alavis, but most importantly, this goal was a major blow to Alavis. The away team was completely stunned by this goal concede.
*****
It was indeed so.
On the field, the Alavis players were dumbfounded. They did not expect to concede a goal at this time. They certainly knew what this goal concede meant to the team: it meant that they would be eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Sporting de Gijón!
Therefore, when the game resumed, even though their manager, Olić, was furious, yelling on the sidelines, commanding the team to press out to attack and strive for a goal. As long as they scored a goal, Alavis would be able to turn the tables. It was only a difference of one goal and two minutes, so it was not impossible to create a miracle. However, the Alavis players on the field were completely stunned and lost their fighting spirit!
The Alavis manager was angry, depressed, and at a loss. He yelled on the sidelines, but in the end, he could only watch as his players lost their souls after the game started. At this time, Olić knew that they had lost this game. They were the ones eliminated!
In the stands, the Sporting Gihon fans couldn't wait any longer. No one was sitting down to watch the match. Everyone was standing. They were cheering, roaring, and excited. They couldn't wait any longer!
Three to zero!
The fans also knew what this score meant: the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey!
This was a great miracle that they did not even dare to dream of before this game, or to be exact, until the third goal came!
Li Ang stood on the sidelines. Behind him were the players on the substitutes' bench. Everyone stood up and waited for the moment when the final whistle sounded.
At this moment, even the players who had opinions about Li Ang had 'temporarily' forgotten their unhappiness. Everyone was so excited and could not wait for the moment when the whistle sounded!
Victory was the best medicine to solve all problems!
This sentence was the truth!
Sporting de Gijón had not won for three months.
Now, they did not only want the hidden ball!
They also wanted to defeat the biggest victim of the season, Aravis!
They had defeated Aravis, who had won six goals against them three days ago!
More importantly, they had created a great result. In the away game, they had won three to zero against their opponents at home. They would eliminate their opponents and reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey!
This could be said to be a shot in the arm for this team that was previously lax and low in morale!
Victory made everyone temporarily forget their unhappiness and thoughts. At this moment, this team was unprecedentedly united, united around the young Chinese coach!
The injury stoppage time came in the last second. As Marcos shoveled the opponent's pass out of the sideline, he stopped Aravis' aimless attack.
The whistle sounded from the referee's mouth.
Beep!
Beep beep beep!
Three whistles!
The game was over amidst the huge cheers of the entire El Molinon Stadium!
*****
"The game is over, the game is over!" Spielson shouted. "Three to zero! Three to zero! Sporting de Gijón defeated Aravis three to zero in a situation where everyone was not optimistic. Their Chinese coach made the most perfect debut! Li Du gave everyone a huge shock! They have created a miracle, they have staged a great reversal! Now, Sporting de Gijón has entered the semi-finals of the 20032004 Copa del Rey! "
At this time in the stadium, Sporting de Gijón's substitutes rushed onto the field to celebrate crazily. The players on the field also raised their arms and cheered. Some were even excited to the point of tears!
Li Ang did not rush onto the field. He stood on the sidelines.
At this moment, he was extremely excited, but also extremely tired!
The pressure of the First Team manager was great, but the feeling of winning, of creating a miracle, was so wonderful, so fascinating!
The entire El Molinon Stadium was now a sea of cheers and singing.
Li Ang raised his arms and shook them vigorously!
Around him, there was a crowd of crazily celebrating and running. It was the cheering and clapping arms of nearly 30,000 people in the stands!
"This Chinese man, he only used one game to make this stadium accept him!" Spielson looked at the man on the sidelines who was cheering with his arms raised. He watched as he was surrounded by many players, then picked up by the players and thrown into the air forcefully three times. He also stood up and said rather emotionally, "Victory! A miraculous victory! To be able to quickly reunite a team with scattered morale, to be able to make those players who did not accept him accept him wholeheartedly! This Chinese man, he used one game, he stepped on the corpses of the Aravis people to achieve all of this! This night belongs to this Chinese man! Congratulations to him, congratulations to Sporting de Gijón, congratulations to them, they are now in the semi-finals! "
Li Ang was "grabbed" by his players, thrown up, thrown into the air, and then caught three times.
His players, who were not good with words, used this way to resolve the awkwardness between them and the coach, and at the same time, they were also sincerely convinced of Li Ang's strength.
Victory could solve all problems!
Li Ang used a super comeback victory that no one could have imagined to begin his path of conquering these players and conquering this city!
As the commentator Spielson had just said, "This night belongs to this Chinese man!"
