This was Li Ang's statement in the Huiwen Daily.
"I have a dream. When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a football player, galloping on the green field and letting foreigners see that China also has outstanding football stars. Unfortunately, I don't have much talent in playing football … However, I am not discouraged because I firmly believe that there is always a road waiting for me to cut my way forward. The drive of this road is the other shore of my dream, blooming flowers, bright sunshine, picturesque … Now, my dream is to become an outstanding football coach. I am willing to dedicate everything I have to football, to Chinese football. As a Chinese, a young Chinese coach, in the mainstream European football and Spanish football world, you can imagine how difficult it is to stand out. I want to thank my father for the qualities he taught me. I am strong, I don't give up, I have been working hard, starting from studying in some European countries. At the most difficult times, I even had to find food from the trash can, but I firmly believe that I can succeed … Starting from Real Madrid's under-17 youth team, starting from Sporting Gijón's reserve team, I have worked hard step by step. I did not dare to stop for a moment. I know how important time is to me. In a world full of doubts and suspicions about Chinese football abroad, I know that as long as I stop, it means failure!
I am the youngest youth manager in the history of Real Madrid. I am the first manager of a professional football team's Reserve Team in the history of Spanish football. I have led Sporting de Gijón's Reserve Team from the bottom of the league to the middle of the league! Thanks to Sporting de Gijón's chairman, Mr. Arango, for his appreciation, I have successfully become the manager of Sporting de Gijón's first team! I am the first China manager of a professional football team in the history of Spanish football!
Before I took over the team, Sporting de Gijón was struggling in the relegation zone, and had not tasted victory for three months. What about now? We have two wins and one draw in the league, and in the Copa del Rey, we eliminated Aravés with a comeback and reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. In the semi-finals, we defeated Real Zaragoza in an away game with a score of 3: 1! I am proud of myself, proud of myself. Now, when I walk on the streets of Gijón, people will give me a thumbs up and say that the China people are good! In the eyes of the Gijon people, in the eyes of the Spanish people, I represent China's football! I am willing to take on the responsibility of being the 'image ambassador' of China's football because I am well aware of the weight of this position. I am not qualified enough! But I will continue to work hard because I know what my dream is!
… But the most painful thing happened. A large media company in the country slandered me for no reason, saying that I was a swindler who swindled people in Spain! I was very sad, very sad. I was alone in a foreign land. I missed my home country. Every bit of progress I made in Spain, I hoped to hear applause from my home country. But, what did I gain? Shameless slander! Slander without any bottom line! Daily Sports World! That's right, it's this media company. Their unscrupulous slander brought great harm to me and my family! Even my colleagues at Sporting de Gijón couldn't understand it. They found it inconceivable. They were shocked by this despicable act of backstabbing. That's right, backstabbing! I want to ask Daily Sports World, where is your conscience? Where is your integrity and impartiality as a media company …?
Here, I solemnly declare that I strongly condemn this kind of shameless, despicable, and unscrupulous media company for spreading rumors!
Here, I solemnly declare that I will use legal means to protect my reputation!
Here, I solemnly declare that I will indefinitely reject all interviews with other than Huiwen Daily, until this despicable newspaper apologizes to me and begs for my forgiveness!
Here, I solemnly express my gratitude to Huiwen Daily. I thank this ethical and conscientious media company for their truthful and fair reporting on me! "

Zhang Zegang's vision darkened. He nearly fainted and vomited blood.
Very hurt?
Backstabbing?!
Solemnly declare?!
Shameless, despicable, and unscrupulous?!
These words were really vicious!
This kid was clearly implying that an aspiring youth was being persecuted by despicable means!
Too ruthless!
This kid was too ruthless!
He knew that once this statement was released, it would have a very bad impact on Daily Sports World.
Wasn't it just a report that called you a swindler? Did you have to be so ruthless?
"Director Zhang, what else?" Xiao Hu asked cautiously.
That's right, there was more. There was another statement. This statement was released in the name of Sporting de Gijón. The general manager of Sporting de Gijón, Mr. Elroyd, praised Li Ang and praised him as a very talented manager. He said that it was an honor for Sporting de Gijón to invite Li Ang to coach. He also expressed his belief that Li Ang would lead Sporting de Gijón to achieve even better results. In addition, Sporting de Gijón expressed their condemnation of the media's slander and defamation of manager Li Ang. They also reserved the right to take legal action!
Zhang Zegang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. With Li Ang's statement before and Sporting de Gijón's endorsement and praise behind, the damage was huge. It was really ruthless.
"Director Zhang, Gao Bo called again. Look …" At this time, Zheng Lijun came in and said with his phone.
In the past two days, Gao Bo had been calling non-stop. He wanted to explain, defend, and plead for the leader's understanding. However, Zhang Zegang did not pick up his calls at all. When he saw that he could not get through to the managing editor, he began to "harass" Zheng Lijun.
"Tell him to go to hell!" Zhang Zegang roared through gritted teeth.
*****
After Li Ang released the statement, he put the matter aside for the time being. It was not that he was no longer angry, but he had to shift his attention to the team.
On the same night that he released the statement, Sporting de Gijón ushered in the 30th round of the 20032004 Segunda División season.
In this game, their opponent was Las Palmas, who ranked second from the bottom in the league. The two teams were direct opponents to avoid relegation.
In the end, at Las Palmas' home stadium, the Estadio Degran Canaria, Sporting de Gijón defeated their opponent by three goals to one in the away game. Juan Mata, Javier Blanco, and Samuel scored three goals for Sporting de Gijón in a row in fifteen minutes to seal the victory!
The next day, Huiwen News published a column by Li Ang.
The title of the article was: "From Victory to Victory!"
"... The despicable act of backstabbing made me angry, but it did not stop me from leading the team forward. I endured the pain and focused my energy on the team, and we won another victory … We achieved a valuable victory in the road to avoid relegation. The whole of Gijón, the pearl port city of Spain, is now a sea of enthusiasm. I met a Chinese tourist who came to Gijón for a vacation. This fellow countryman thanked me. He said that after the people of Gijón knew he was Chinese, they were very enthusiastic and gave him a thumbs up, saying, 'Chinese, good job!'. This made him very happy. I said, seeing you happy, I am happy too … "
In the chief editor's office of Daily Sports, the teacup that Zhang Zegang was holding was smashed to pieces with a crash!
Zhang Zegang was about to go crazy.
This bastard is too vicious!
Enduring the pain?!
Grief your sister! Ahhhh!
Backstabbing?!
Stab your sister ah ah ah ah ah!
Who the f * ck is backstabbing who?!!! Ahhhh!
