In 2004, the internet had not really become popular yet. At that time, the world was still dominated by print media. As the sports media with the largest circulation in the country, Sports Daily's market coverage was even more astonishing, especially in the university campuses. This newspaper always had the best sales, especially on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Mondays. Everywhere, boys could be seen holding Sports Daily in their hands and reading it with great interest.
For the majority of sports fans at this time, especially soccer fans, Sports World Daily was their window to understand the world. They learned about European soccer and the magnificence of the five major leagues. In a sense, Sports World Daily was a great way to broaden the horizons of this generation of Chinese youths.
In comparison, the sales of Wednesday's Daily Sports were a little worse than Friday's and Monday's. However, the sales of this issue of Daily Sports were quite explosive.
"The Swindler Chased Out by Real Madrid: A Spanish Swindler Who Tarnished the Image of China's Soccer"! Such a huge headline was on the front page!
It was this headline that attracted the attention of the readers. A China swindler went to Real Madrid to cheat? And he was even discovered? What was going on?!
Many students took out their money to buy the article and could not wait to read it.
In this article, Gao Bo described Li Ang as a shameless, ugly, and daring swindler. In any case, he described him as bad, shameless, and ugly. He said that Li Ang was a "swindler" at Real Madrid and was finally kicked out by Real Madrid's youth training director, Mr. Rodriguez. He said how Li Ang had tarnished the reputation of China in Spain and embarrassed the Chinese. He said that after being caught red-handed in Real Madrid, he went to the "remote city" of Gijón in Spain to continue his swindling. He really did not mend his ways … Gao Bo could not help but praise Gao Bo's praise.
It was incomparably spicy. The students who read it were filled with righteous indignation. After China's Soccer World Cup, not only did it not make China proud, but it also made a fool of itself. This made the fans very depressed. In the past two years, the most talked about was to save China's Soccer and not to tarnish the reputation of China's Soccer. In such a big environment, there was actually a Chinese who went abroad to pretend to be a coach to cheat. He even went to Real Madrid to cheat and was caught red-handed. This was a great disgrace.
"This is too much!"
"Swindler is despicable!"
"The good image of our China has been ruined by people like him!"
"Is it easy for China's Soccer? The players are embarrassing themselves on the field, and there's even a fake coach who went abroad to tarnish our reputation!"
"Too despicable!"
The readers denounced the "swindler's behavior." Some agitated people even wrote a letter to Daily Sports, asking the newspaper's reporter in Spain to go to Gijón and expose the true face of this swindler to prove the innocence of China's Soccer!
From this, the influence of Daily Sports could be seen. It also showed Gao Bo's sinister intentions. He was completely trying to cut off the source of income of the "swindler Li Ang." Of course, this was mainly because he thought that Li Ang relied on scams to make a living. He thought that Li Ang's ultimate goal was to gild himself abroad and then return to China to cheat.

Hua Jieyu came to the school's newsstand to buy a newspaper. She was here to buy Huiwen News. Ever since her sister became a reporter for Huiwen News, Hua Jieyu had bought every issue of Huiwen News. She hoped that one day, she would be able to see her sister's words in print. However, in the past year, she had only seen her sister's articles in the sports section of Huiwen News, which was not very eye-catching. Because she always flipped through the sports section of Huiwen Bao when she bought it, many people thought that she was a sports fan.
Hua Jieyu was a famous beauty in Jiangnan Medical University. She was recognized as the campus belle. She had a fair and clean face and soft and delicate skin. Her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, and her eyes twinkled like stars. Under her small nose, she had a small mouth. Her lips were thin, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
Seeing that Hua Jieyu had come to buy the newspaper, the discussion among the boys around the newsstand became louder. Many of them had deliberately waited here. They knew that Hua Jieyu came to buy the newspaper around this time every day, so they deliberately came here to read the newspaper while deliberately talking loudly. They wanted to show off their sports knowledge, hoping to attract the attention of this little beauty. They were looking forward to a beautiful encounter and college romance.
Why was she called a little beauty? Hua Jieyu was not even 16 years old. She skipped grades in primary school, middle school, and so on. The result was that she was admitted to a university before the age of 16. It could be said that she was the youngest student in this university.
"China's sports reputation has been ruined by such unscrupulous swindlers!" a boy said loudly.
"People like this should be punished!"
"I suggest that we write a letter to Sports Daily and ask them to expose this swindler's true colors!"
"We can also leave a message on the China Football Association's official website and ask them to seriously investigate this person."
The voices of the boys were getting louder and louder. As they discussed, they secretly glanced at Hua Jieyu, hoping to attract her attention.
*****
Hua Jieyu glanced at these people but did not pay attention to them. She was just curious. Did something big happen? These people were filled with righteous indignation.
She just glanced at it indifferently. She lowered her head and flipped open the Huiwen Daily in her hand. She directly flipped to the sports page and saw the huge headline on the front page of this page. "Real Madrid's youth coach is actually Chinese — from Real Madrid's coach to a famous Spanish football manager."
A report from Spain?
Hua Jieyu's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the byline below: "Exclusive Interview with Spanish Reporter Hua Jieyu."
Hua Jieyu's eyes lit up and she smiled. Her smile stunned all the boys around her. They had never seen this little beauty smile before. Her smile made their hearts flutter and they felt like they were about to melt.
Her sister's report, an exclusive report, was on the front page. Hua Jieyu was overjoyed and could not wait to read it.
This was Hua Jieyu's way of telling a story for this exclusive interview.
Li Ang, a China native who made a name for himself in Europe … Under Hua Jieyu's tireless reporting, a story seemed to unfold in Hua Jieyu's mind.
Seeing that Hua Jieyu did not leave immediately after buying the newspaper, but instead stayed and read it, the boys became even more excited.
"This Li Ang is such a scum. I feel ashamed to have the same surname as him!"
"Li Ang! Just hearing this name is not good. I remember that there was an emperor in the Tang Dynasty with this name. He was a fatuous ruler, "someone said, showing off his history.
"Are the Spanish all idiots? How could they be fooled by this guy? "
"Real Madrid is indeed my favorite. They found out that this guy is a swindler." Someone shouted loudly. It seemed that because he liked Real Madrid, he was different.
Hua Jieyu closed the newspaper, frowned slightly, and looked at the boys around her who were talking nonsense.
"Are you talking about this Li Ang, who is coaching in Spain?" she asked softly.
Seeing that they had successfully attracted Hua Jieyu's attention and that the beauty had taken the initiative to ask, the group of boys became excited.
The quick-witted guy quickly answered, "Yes, it's Li Ang, a swindler in Madrid."
"Hua Jieyu, are you also angry about Li Ang's behavior?"
"Of course, everyone hates swindlers, not to mention a junior like you who is so kind and pure."
Just as these boys were about to jump up and denounce Li Ang to win Hua Jieyu's favor, Hua Jieyu opened her eyes wide. "Who told you that Li Ang is a swindler? You went to Spain and saw it with your own eyes? You don't know anything and you're spreading rumors here? "
Even when a beauty was angry, she was still very beautiful.
While everyone was stunned, Hua Jieyu took the newspaper and turned to leave.
*****
"What did she say?"
"Seems to say that Li Ang is not a swindler?"
"How can that be?"
"Oh no, I made my Hua Jieyu angry."
"B * stard, what do you mean by your Hua Jieyu?"
At this time, a smart guy rushed to the newsstand, picked up a copy of Huiwen News, and flipped to the sports section.
As one of Hua Jieyu's admirers, they naturally knew her "hobby."
Then, this person was stunned.
He picked up the Daily Sports in his hand and looked at the headline on it. Then, he looked at the headline on the sports section of Huiwen News and opened his mouth wide in shock.
"Stop shouting, come and see, something big has happened," this person shouted.
Everyone gathered around.
Then, they saw two newspapers. They were both on the front page with the same huge headline, but they had completely different meanings.
Daily Sports: "The swindler kicked out by Real Madrid: A swindler who ruined the image of China's football in Spain."
Huiwen News: "Real Madrid's youth coach turned out to be from China: Real Madrid coach turned famous in Spanish football."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Two major media outlets reporting the same thing with completely different reports. What was going on?
"Are, are they talking about the same person?" someone stammered.
"Boss, give me a copy of Huiwen News," someone shouted.
"Ah, give me one too!"
"Give me one!"
In an instant, all the copies of the Huiwen Report were snapped up by these people.
The owner of the newsstand was shocked. Huiwen News was a comprehensive newspaper, and its sales on campus had never been good. What was going on today?
Then, the owner picked up the two newspapers and saw the two headlines with completely different meanings. He was also stunned. The owner rolled his eyes.
Then, the owner placed the two newspapers in the most conspicuous position, especially placing the two headlines side by side. There was nothing to say about this businessman's brain.
This method of the owner of the newsstand had a miraculous effect. On this day, the sales of Huiwen News in the university campus increased tenfold. In fact, there was always more than one smart person. In many cities, many newsstand owners had adopted this method. Such a conspicuous contrast directly stimulated the sales of the newspapers.
Everyone was shocked at first, and then they were puzzled. Why would the two major newspapers have such completely different reports about the same thing? So, which one was the real one?
At this time, in the distant Iberian Peninsula, in Zaragoza, the Sporting de Gijón team was on the bus to the stadium. The first leg of the Copa del Rey match between Sporting de Gijón and Zaragoza was about to start.
