For a long time, Li Ang and almost all the people of Gijon were used to looking down at the scoreboard to see how many points the pursuers behind them were behind them.
But now, Li Ang was looking up. He was thinking, calculating, and then he found a broader future!
He was shocked.
At present, in the Segunda División B scoreboard, Levante was in first place with 72 points, while Numancia was in second place with 71 points, and Getafe was in third place. This Madrid team had the same points as Numancia, but they were at a disadvantage because of their wins and losses, so they were in third place. Then, in fourth place was Aravis, a team eliminated by Sporting de Gijon from the Copa del Rey with 70 points, while Huelva was in fifth place with 69 points, and Cadiz was in sixth place with 68 points.
Then, in seventh place was Tenerife with 63 points, and in eighth place was González with 62 points. Then, in ninth place was Sporting de Gijon with 61 points, and it was worth mentioning that Tarragona, in tenth place, also had 61 points, but their goal difference was less than Sporting de Gijon, so they were behind.
The promotion rule of Segunda División B was that three teams would be promoted to La Liga, and the top two teams in the league would be directly promoted to La Liga.
The four teams ranked third to sixth would need to play a promotion playoff at the end of the season, and the four teams would compete for the last promotion spot.
Among the top six teams, even the leader, Levante, had not locked in a promotion spot. However, judging from the performance and strength of this team, it was very likely that they would be ranked in the top two of the league, and even win the Segunda División B championship. Their chances of promotion were very high.
And judging from Li Ang's vision and analysis, Levante, Numancia, and Getafe were the three teams most likely to compete for the top two direct promotion spots.
Among them, Levante and Numancia had the highest hopes. Getafe was at a disadvantage because of their win and loss with Numancia, so they were naturally lacking.
*****
Of course, Li Ang wasn't interested in who would succeed in leveling up.
Instead, he was surprised to find that Sporting Gihon, which was ranked ninth, had 61 points, while Cadiz, who was ranked sixth, had 68 points, which was enough to play in the promotion playoffs.
Sporting de Gijón were seven points behind Cadiz!
There were only four matches left in the league. Seven points was a huge gap, but Li Ang was shocked. Seven points was a huge gap, but there were still four matches left in the league. In the best case scenario, Sporting de Gijón would win all four matches and get twelve points. Cadiz would have to win at least two of the four matches. If Cadiz couldn't do that, then Sporting de Gijón would have a chance to overtake Cadiz!
Although this was only the most optimistic estimate, Li Ang's heartbeat still accelerated when he thought about it.
Level up!
Level up!
Level up!
He had always been thinking about how to lead Sporting Xi Hong to avoid relegation. He had never set his sights on the next level. He had never thought about promotion at all. With the terrible points and ranking situation of the team when he took over, Li Ang had completely eliminated the idea of Sporting Xi Hong being promoted this season from the very beginning.
This was the subconscious behavior of almost everyone in Gijón. Our mission this season is to avoid relegation! To avoid relegation! To avoid relegation!
No one thought about it.
However, Li Ang suddenly realized that Sporting de Gijón had been focused on avoiding relegation. They had been working hard and had not lost in the last three months. They had only drawn one match and won all the other matches. They had unknowingly increased their points by so much, and there was even a theoretical possibility of leveling up!
This was a possibility that almost no one in Gijón had thought about!
Four matches, seven points!
It was difficult, very difficult!
However, at the very least, Sporting de Gijón still had a chance to fight their way into the top six in the league!
Li Ang also paid special attention to the seventh-ranked Tenerife and eighth-ranked González. These two teams had sixty-three and sixty-two points respectively. Their points were very close to Sporting de Gijón's, just a difference of one match.
Therefore, if Sporting de Gijón suddenly charged towards the top six, Tenerife and González, who were ranked ahead of them, would not have much of an opportunity to take advantage of them. Li Ang understood these two teams. It was almost impossible for them to win four matches in a row and keep suppressing Sporting de Gijón.
Moreover, in the 39th round of the league tonight, Sporting de Gijón's opponent was the seventh-ranked Tenerife.
As for the eighth-ranked González, they had to challenge the leader, Levante, in an away game.
Therefore, if everything went smoothly and Sporting de Gijón could take down Tenerife on their home ground, their ranking could rise to seventh!
One step above the seventh place would be the sixth place …
*****
Li Ang's eyes flickered and he frowned.
Finally, his gaze became firm.
He stood up, stretched, and let out a long sigh.
He had made up his mind.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to work hard and fight for it!
Previously, he had not considered the possibility of promotion. Now, he suddenly realized that he had not completely fallen behind. He had actually caught up!
There was still a chance for promotion!
Although the chance was very slim!
But at least there was a chance!
Four matches!
They had to fight!
They had to fight. Even if they failed, for Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón, they had no regrets. This season was already a classic.
At this time, the players appeared one after another. When they saw the manager, Li Ang, sitting in the hotel lobby, they were all shocked. Then, some of them subconsciously looked at the clock in the hotel lobby. There were still five minutes to the agreed meeting time. They were not late! Then, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The players were both respectful and afraid of the manager, Li Ang.
Although the team had successfully avoided relegation and the atmosphere was very good now, the manager also turned a blind eye to everyone's relaxation. However, if anyone thought that they could violate the team's discipline and cause things like being late, they would definitely die a terrible death.
They had already experienced Li Ang's strictness in managing the team.
They got on the bus that was already waiting outside the hotel.
The bus slowly started and headed towards the El Molinon Stadium.
The players noticed that the manager, Li Ang, had been sitting silently in the first row.
This surprised the players, who were originally in a relaxed and happy mood, and they all guessed which unlucky person had provoked the manager. Then, these players did not dare to speak or cause trouble. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
*****
Halfway through the journey, Li Ang seemed to suddenly "come back to his senses".
Then, the players saw the manager, who was sitting in the front, turn around and look at them.
"Everyone." Li Ang opened his mouth and said, "I want to remind you that we have made a mistake, a serious mistake!"
Li Ang's expression was extremely serious.
The atmosphere in the bus was unprecedentedly oppressive with his words.
