"Fellow Killer"?
Li Ang was a little depressed. This nickname was not a good one. It was simply a nickname that attracted hatred.
Li Ang felt wronged, but the media also felt that it was reasonable for them to give Li Ang this nickname. Before Olić, Li Ang had led Sporting de Gijón's B team to a 5-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano. This game also directly led to the dismissal of Rayo Vallecano's manager, Bergoverde.
Come to think of it, in less than half a year, the managers of two teams had been dismissed because their teams had suffered a crushing defeat at the feet of his team. In a sense, the title of "Fellow Killer" seemed to be quite appropriate.
At this time, the game had already begun.
Salamanca's manager, Charles, was "more assured" about Sporting de Gijón's starting striker, Rubén.
The course of the game also proved this point. Rubén, who was very weak in physical confrontation, did not get any opportunities at all when he was closely marked by Salamanca's tall fullback, Rodriguez. The threat to Salamanca's goal was close to zero.
Li Ang shook his head in the technical area. "Rubén did not have the confidence to fight back at all …"
Scotty nodded in agreement. "Rubén is not a player who is strong in physical confrontation."
"This has nothing to do with whether or not he is strong in physical confrontation." Li Ang shook his head. "Whether or not he can beat the bayonet and whether or not he dares to fight the bayonet are two different things." In his heart, his evaluation of Sporting de Gijón's number 10 player was even lower.
Many players were not good in physical confrontation, but physical condition was only an objective condition. You had to have the courage to fight back in the game, or take a step back and say that you did not go head-to-head with your opponent. This was also fine. If you were smart, you could use your footwork and flexibility to go around the opponent and look for opportunities. This was also fine.
However, from the beginning of the game, Rubén was not only afraid of confrontation, but also lacked fighting spirit. He was not active on the field at all. In fact, he was a relatively fast player with good small skills. If he could use his speed and footwork well to continuously charge at the opponent's defense, the opponent's tall fullback would be more troublesome and would be afraid of Rubén. Unfortunately, the player did not do so.
This was the attitude problem that Li Ang mentioned before the game. Putting aside the strength of the players, the attitude of the game was a problem.
Matt Bilic, whom Li Ang put in an important position, worked very hard. Regardless of the results, this player worked very hard. Bilic's game condition was average because he had been demoted by the previous manager, Rashidria. However, he showed a good fighting spirit on the field. Although he did not gain any advantage in the confrontation with the opponent's center back, Omar, he dared to confront, which put a certain amount of pressure on the opponent's defensive line. First of all, his attitude in the game was worthy of recognition.
*****
"From the first 30 minutes of the game, Sporting de Gijón's performance did not seem to be any different from before. Their offense did not make Salamanca feel threatened, "Spielberg said. "I don't know if it was because of Juan Mata's sudden absence due to injury, but Sporting de Gijón's offense was disappointing."
"I said earlier that the game with Aravis was just an accident. That game has no reference value. When the opponent is vigilant and does not give Sporting de Gijón a chance to sneak attack, Sporting de Gijón has no chance to fight back. Their offense will be muted, just like now, and just like their previous situation," Elstow said sarcastically.
For today's game between Sporting de Gijón and Salamanca, Espana 5 arranged for Elstow and Salamanca to commentate. The last game between Sporting de Gijón and Aravis in the Copa del Rey had good ratings, which made Espana 5 more favorable to Sporting de Gijón's game. This time, they arranged for Elstow and Spielberg, the television station's number one commentator pair, to commentate on the game, which showed how much they valued it.
However, it was likely that Sporting de Gijón's fans would not buy it. In the last game between Sporting de Gijón and Aravis, the commentator Elstow was extremely unfriendly to Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón. Later, it was obvious that he was biased towards Aravis, and he almost bluntly hoped that Sporting de Gijón would be eliminated. This caused great dissatisfaction among Sporting de Gijón's fans. They left comments on the official website of Espana 5, protesting against the arrangement of Elstow to commentate on Sporting de Gijón's game. However, now it seemed that the protests of Sporting de Gijón's fans did not have any effect, and the television station still arranged for Elstow to commentate on the game.
And Elstow once again told everyone why Sporting de Gijón's fans hated him so much. Since the start of the game, the commentator sat on the side of the home team, Salamanca, and took the opportunity to criticize and make sarcastic remarks about Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón.
When Spielson heard his old partner still criticizing Sporting de Gijón, he could only smile helplessly. Elstow had a stubborn temper, and after becoming the number one football commentator in Spain, it made Elstow even more arrogant and self-opinionated. He could not stand others saying bad things about him. This time, Sporting de Gijón's fans protested against Elstow's commentary. Not only did it not make Elstow reflect on his behavior, but it also made Elstow angry. He was now at odds with Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón.
As for the television station, it was impossible for them not to know about the protests of Sporting de Gijón's fans, and it was impossible for them not to know about Elstow's temper. However, it seemed that the television station also had the intention of condoning the development of the matter. In this day and age, controversy meant that there was a topic to talk about, and it would attract more attention. It was common for fans to protest against a club or a player, but boycotting and protesting against a commentator? That was a rare occurrence! The television station also wanted to use the matter to create hype and attract more attention.
"Salamanca is well prepared. I think they will score in the first half of the game," Elstow said.
Hearing Elstow's words, the Sporting de Gijón fans in front of the television became even more dissatisfied. This game was an away game for Sporting de Gijón, so most of the fans were watching the game in front of the television.
*****
The northern bar was packed with fans at this time. At this time, when they heard Elstow's words, it caused a wave of curses.
"Shut up, Valencian!" a fan shouted. This was because Elstow was from Valencia.
"I hate this guy more and more now."
"Elstow, I hope you never come to Gijón in your life!" Someone said fiercely.
At this time, taking advantage of the chaos in Sporting de Gijón's offense, Salamanca made a wonderful attack.
They scored a goal in the 38th minute of the first half!
Their striker, Kaka, received a pass from the midfielder, Dimíncio. As he pulled the ball beautifully and turned around, the ball passed the Sporting de Gijón defender, Tiago, who turned slowly. Then, he broke into the penalty area and shot the ball into the net before the other defender, Yves, could immediately block. Sporting de Gijón's goalkeeper, Valencia, could not save in time.
This Brazilian player called Kaka was not the young Brazilian player from AC Milan. He was a 26-year-old Brazilian striker and a friend of Real Madrid's star player, Ronaldo. Ronaldo persuaded him to "support" and join his good friend Hidalgo's team, Salamanca.
"Oh! Kaka! Kaka! This was his eleventh goal of the season! Sporting de Gijón's defender, Tiago, turned too slowly and was passed by like a wooden stake! What a beautiful goal! Good goal! " Elstow shouted. He looked very happy and a little proud. He had just said that Salamanca would score, and Salamanca had scored. This was really giving him face, and it made him feel very good.
