He watched as Beckham stood at the penalty spot.
Li Ang shook his head. He was still a little too complacent. The long one-nil lead, and even the one-nil score later, made him feel quite proud and satisfied, so much so that he lost his vigilance.
In other words, it was not only Li Ang who lost his vigilance, the players did the same.
Before the game, Li Ang also emphasized that they had to be careful in the choice of the foul spot, because the opponent was Beckham.
Sporting de Gijón was a little lax and careless because the first half of the game was nearing the end, which gave Real Madrid a chance.
In addition, there was another reason, and that was Sporting de Gijón's high-intensity pressing. The players had played for forty-five minutes and their fitness was at an extreme.
Luxemburgo took advantage of Sporting de Gijón's lack of fitness, and then used Real Madrid's experience and sophistication to seize this opportunity.
Beckham stood at the penalty spot.
The cameras were all focused on the England national footballer.
"Beep —" The whistle sounded.
Beckham ran up. Raised his leg and shot!
The flashes were huge!
The football flew, crossed the human wall, and flew straight to the top left corner of the goal, and then continued to spin outwards, as if it was going to go around the goal post and out of the end line.
But that was just an illusion to the naked eye.
The football spun in the air, adjusted its angle, and then made a slight "turn", and hung straight at the intersection of the left post and the crossbar of the goal.
*****
"Long live!!" A huge roar erupted from the stands of Bernabéu, resounding through the night sky.
At this moment, huge cheers rang out at the same time in bars of all sizes in the capital of Spain.
"Long live David Beckham! Long live Real Madrid!!! "
"Beckham! Beckham!! David Beckham's goal!! A standard and perfect full moon scimitar … Real Madrid has overtaken the score!! "The commentator, Ma Delun, shouted excitedly.
"We have done well enough. We were ahead of Real Madrid for half an hour. We are proud of our lads and proud of Manager Li Ang! But this is Real Madrid. This is Real Madrid with superstar players. Ronaldo and Beckham, two superstar players, the game took a fundamental turn … "Sporting de Gijón's commentator said bitterly. In his opinion, Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón had done well enough. They had done better than anyone could have imagined. However, the biggest difference between this Segunda División team and Real Madrid in this half of the game was that Sporting de Gijón was an ordinary and weak team, while Real Madrid had star-studded stars …
The Real Madrid players were celebrating the goal. Even such an excited celebration was somewhat inconsistent with their arrogant identity. Before the game, they did not expect the game to be so difficult.
Now, they had finally overtaken the score before the end of the first half of the game. The proud Real Madrid could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, it would not look good for these big-name players to be forced into a draw by a Segunda División team in the first half of the game.
*****
Li Ang stood on the sidelines. He watched Beckham's arc kick defeat his team and fall into the net.
Beckham's full moon scimitar!
Ronaldo's pendulum pass!
Bernabéu Stadium!
Real Madrid's white shirt fluttering in the wind!
The era of fluttering white shirts!
When Li Ang was a football fan in his previous life, he had a dream to have the opportunity to come to the Bernabéu Stadium and watch a Galácticos game. He wanted to see Ronaldo's pendulum pass, Beckham's full moon scimitar, Zidane's Marseille spin, the King of the Rings kissing the ring after scoring a goal, Figo's soul-stirring right foot, and Carlos's galloping horse on the flank! Incomparable pleasure!
Now, he saw Ronaldo and Beckham's performance!
Now, there was only bitterness and helplessness in Li Ang's mouth.
As a manager, his thoughts at this time were naturally different from his previous thoughts as a fan. If possible, he wanted to send someone to tape the legs of these superstars!
A minute later, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game. Huge cheers erupted in the Bernabéu Stadium.
Real Madrid's fans were satisfied with the first half of the game. The opponent was a small fish that was easy to fish on the chopping block. Instead, they jumped a little. Under such circumstances, their superstars stepped in to suppress them, and then everything was peaceful! This plot was very satisfying!
Sporting de Gijón's players looked a little depressed. Obviously, Real Madrid's two goals in a row at the last minute stunned them. It also made these players finally realize the gap between them and Real Madrid, and the strength of Real Madrid's superstars.
The players were a little listless.
This was mainly because the timing of Real Madrid's goals was too subtle. They scored in a row at the last minute, which was like a wave of blows one after another. Otherwise, with Sporting de Gijón's strength, it seemed that there was no need to be too disappointed when they fell behind Real Madrid with a score of one to two.
*****
The players were in low spirits. Some of them hung their heads, and some looked up at the Bernabéu stands. They saw the cheers of the Real Madrid fans, and the banner that mocked them as "country bumpkins" was so glaring.
Then, they saw the manager, Li Ang, standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel.
Juan and Mata, who were walking in front, subconsciously stopped in their tracks.
"Straighten up!" Li Ang glanced at Mata and patted the little guy on the shoulder. "You guys did a good job! Straighten up and tell those celebrating Real Madrid people not to be happy too early! "
Mata subconsciously straightened his back, looked at his boss, and then suddenly held out a hand.
Li Ang was stunned, then smiled and high-fived Mata. The latter walked past Li Ang and disappeared into the players' tunnel.
Behind Mata was the captain, Miguel Cobas, who also came over and high-fived Li Ang. Then, he straightened his back and walked into the players' tunnel.
Then it was Juan and Carlos. He first hugged the manager, then high-fived …
Then it was Samuel, then Matebilić, Jago … and the goalkeeper, Valencia …
The commentator was ready to rest after the whistle sounded at the end of the first half. Then, Dagestino bent over and saw the scene. He was very surprised.
"I saw a scene that surprised me. Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, is on the sidelines. His players are high-fiving him one by one. They hold their heads high, they straighten their backs, they are like victors, temporarily leaving the turf of the Bernabéu …"
The Real Madrid fans in the stands also noticed the scene. At first, it was quiet, then suddenly there was a huge burst of boos …
In the midst of the boos, Li Ang high-fived the goalkeeper, Valencia, and then pushed Valencia to send his players back to the players' tunnel.
Then, he turned his head to look at the stands of the Bernabéu. The magnificent Bernabéu, the vast Bernabéu.
One hundred thousand people there!
Between his gestures, the momentum was incomparably grand.
Even the boos were spectacular.
Li Ang raised his right hand and waved goodbye to the nearly one hundred thousand Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu stadium …
There were more than a dozen cameras at the scene, all witnessing the occurrence of the biggest unsolved case in the history of football.
What did Li Ang mean by this gesture?!
Many people had their own opinions and various analyses.
The closest to the truth was the speculation and interpretation of the famous reporter, Mitra, who later wrote Li Ang's autobiography: Li Ang raised his right hand and waved his arm to send off the Galácticos! Perhaps this action and this explanation made people feel crazy, but in the second half of the game, he did it.
This was a game between a small club and a super club.
This was a contest between an ordinary team and a superstar player.
Real Madrid had seven superstars and a team called Sporting de Gijón, a coach called Li Ang.
I waved my arm. This was a silent farewell. This was the most shocking performance. In the second half of the game, the bright stars are proof, the magnificent Bernabéu is proof … I will send you off. To be able to personally sink this giant warship, I am extremely looking forward to it and extremely proud!
Li Ang was honored and happy to be a gravedigger.
To destroy the most luxurious warship of the most luxurious team in the history of football and personally send off the Galácticos … That was all he had to do.
