The climax of the night came at the El Molinón Stadium. Li Ang was awarded the best manager of the Segunda División.
At this time, Li Ang, who had gotten rid of the "trampling" of the fans and had changed into a new set of clothes, received the crystal trophy from the hands of the Spanish Football Federation's president, Vera.
The crystal trophy emitted a beautiful light under the illumination of the floodlights.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly. If this Segunda División had been replaced by La Liga, it would have been wonderful. He was a little proud and insatiable.
Then, Li Ang raised the trophy. This action caused the entire stadium to shake with cheers.
"He took over the team midway and only coached for half a season, and he won the best manager of the Segunda División," Dagestino said. "This is a great achievement. Manager Li Ang deserves it! He brought a team that was on the verge of relegation all the way back to La Liga. This is a great season for Manager Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón. Congratulations to Manager Li Ang, congratulations to him! "
"Next season's La Liga will be interesting," González said with a smile. González said with a smile, "Managers of La Liga, if you look down on Sporting Gijon because they are a newly promoted team, because he is a Chinese manager, and because he is young, then you might be in for a big surprise."
These words caused the Sporting de Gijón fans in front of the TV to burst into laughter.
*****
Beijing time, July 1, midnight.
In the studio of the sports channel in the CCTV building, Duan Xuan and He Wei were commentating. To be exact, they were explaining and "chatting" before the game.
More than two hours later, the 2004 UEFA European Championship host team, Portugal, and the 1988 UEFA European Championship champion team, the Netherlands, would compete fiercely for a ticket to the finals at the Estadio Alvalade in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
At this moment, in the faraway Lisbon, Central TV's gold medal commentators Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong were at the venue. The sports channel was broadcasting the match live. However, there were still more than two hours before the start of the match, so the live broadcast was overlapped between the venue and the Beijing studio. The time for the live broadcast was given to Duan Xuan and He Wei in the Beijing studio.
"The Portuguese team that advanced to the quarter-finals as the top team in Group A is the third time they have advanced to the semi-finals since 1984 and 2000. However, they did not advance to the finals in the previous two times. It is indeed worth looking forward to whether they can make a breakthrough in this competition with the help of their home country. However, since 1984, the UEFA European Championship has had a curse of being a host. Since the 1984 UEFA European Championship in France, the national football team that has been hosting the UEFA European Championship in the last four years has never won a victory in the semi-finals. This time, the Brazilian Scolari is leading the Portuguese team to attack two very challenging records." Duan Xuan faced the camera and seriously narrated some information about the upcoming semi-finals.
However, He Wei's sharp senses noticed that after Duan Xuan finished speaking, he secretly took out his phone from under the table and tapped it open …
What was Big Head Duan doing? Was he in love? I didn't hear anything about it. He Wei looked at Duan Xuan worriedly. The two of them had a good relationship. He Wei was worried that Duan Xuan's little actions would be discovered by the audience or the leaders. That would be troublesome.
*****
"He Wei, what are you spacing out for?" The director roared backstage.
He Wei, who was distracted, complained bitterly. He was worried about Duan Xuan, but he was the one who was in trouble. This Big Head Duan really caused him a lot of trouble.
"The Dutch team advanced to the quarter-finals as the second place in Group D. In the quarter-finals, the orange team and the Swedish team were tied 0-0 within 120 minutes. In the end, the Dutch team swept away the bad luck of never winning a penalty shootout in previous competitions and defeated the Swedish team 5-4 to advance to the quarter-finals. This is also the fifth time the Dutch team has advanced to the semi-finals since the 1976,1988,1992 and 2000 UEFA European Championship. Out of the five times, the Dutch team only won the final championship once, in 1988. " He Wei quickly followed up Duan Xuan's words and continued to introduce the other side of the semi-finals — the orange team: the Dutch team.
After He Wei finished this part, he temporarily left the time to the film crew in Lisbon. Therefore, he quickly turned off his headset and asked Duan Xuan, "Big Head, what are you doing? Don't you know how important the semi-finals are? Why are you being distracted at this time? Be careful not to be seen by the leaders. Then you'll be in trouble. "
"Why is there still no news?" Duan Xuan mumbled.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking to you, Big Head. "He Wei patted Duan Xuan's head.
Duan Xuan's phone vibrated. He didn't care about He Wei at all. He quickly picked up his phone and opened the message.
"F * ck!"
"Ah!"
Duan Xuan instantly jumped up. His knee hit the edge of the table and he screamed in pain.
He Wei saw Duan Xuan scream and sit back down in his seat. He slapped his forehead speechlessly. "What's going on?"
Duan Xuan didn't have time to care about He Wei. When the pain subsided, he jumped up and ran out, shouting, "Where's the boss? Where's the boss? "Then he turned his head and shouted at He Wei," See for yourself! "
He Wei was stunned at first. Then he turned his head and picked up the phone that Duan Xuan threw on the table. It was a message. On the small screen, a line of words was clearly displayed. "Latest news: The game has ended. Sporting de Gijón defeated Getafe 3: 1 at home, 4: 1 overall, and successfully promoted to La Liga! Li Ang received the Spanish Segunda División Best Manager Trophy at the stadium!!! "
Obviously, this was a "news" sent to Duan Xuan by a reporter who had a good relationship with him.
*****
"F * ck!" He Wei widened his eyes and took another look to confirm the accuracy of the information. Then, he waved his fist vigorously and shouted, "Awesome!"
Duan Xuan ran like crazy to the program director, Chen Wenqiang. Because of the live broadcast of the UEFA European Championship, Sporting de Gijón's promotion playoff game was not broadcasted by CCTV. It was only reported on the sports news the day after the game ended.
However, the second round of the promotion playoff game between Sporting de Gijón and Getafe was very important. Duan Xuan was very concerned about it. Even the director, Chen Wenqiang, was very concerned about it. Last time, the "Xi Xing Manji" program produced by the sports channel had very high ratings and enthusiastic responses. This also made the sports channel have a good impression of Li Ang, especially Chen Wenqiang. He had been looking forward to the day when he would do a special program on Li Ang.
Duan Xuan had previously suggested that if Sporting de Gijón's results were out before the start of the UEFA European Championship semi-final between the Netherlands and Portugal, they could broadcast the news here. However, Chen Wenqiang did not immediately agree. He was worried that it might be the result of Sporting de Gijón's failure to be promoted. China's football fans were already upset enough. It was not easy to watch a UEFA European Championship semi-final. After all, although Sporting de Gijón won 1-0 in the away game, this score was not very safe. Getafe still had a chance to make a comeback in the second round.
Duan Xuan objected to Chen Wenqiang's decision to reject his suggestion. His opinion was that whether Sporting de Gijón could be promoted or not, Li Ang did well. He was able to lead a team that was almost relegated to win the Copa del Rey and lead the team into the promotion playoff game. This in itself was a great success. People could not be judged by the results. Unfortunately, Chen Wenqiang thought about it again and again and still did not agree.
Duan Xuan was not convinced, so he had been secretly watching his phone. He begged a familiar person, a reporter in Spain, to send him a message once the results were out.
Now that the results were out, Duan Xuan was extremely excited. He went to find Chen Wenqiang while shouting.
"Director Chen! Director Chen! They were promoted! They were promoted! "Duan Xuan rushed into the backstage office and shouted as he hugged Chen Wenqiang.
"Who gave birth?" Chen Wenqiang was shocked. "Is someone in our program going to give birth?"
"No, no!" Duan Xuan was so anxious that he jumped around. "Sporting de Gijón has been promoted! They are in La Liga! "
"What?" Chen Wenqiang was shocked.
"Li Ang also won the Segunda Liga's best manager award!" Duan Xuan continued to shout.
"Where did the news come from?" Chen Wenqiang's eyes widened as he asked in shock and joy.
*****
"Where's my phone? Where's my phone? "Duan Xuan shouted, anxiously walking around in circles.
"Here, here!" He Wei ran over and handed over his phone.
"When did you take my phone?" Duan Xuan glared at He Wei and handed the phone to Chen Wenqiang. He Wei looked at the ceiling, speechless.
Chen Wenqiang took the phone and looked at it intently …
Five minutes later, when the live broadcast signal of the European Championship semi-final between Portugal and the Netherlands was switched back to the Beijing studio from the front of Lisbon, the fans all over China who stayed up late to watch the game saw Duan Xuan sitting behind the studio table and saying with a smile, "Next, we have the latest news received by this station."
"The second leg of the 20032004 season's Segunda Liga promotion playoff final has just ended. Sporting de Gijón, coached by Manager Li Ang from China, defeated the third team in Segunda Liga, Getafe, by a score of three to one. In the end, they eliminated Getafe with a total score of four to one. Sporting de Gijón has successfully been promoted to the next season's Segunda Liga!"
The fans who were chatting idly in front of the TV, or drowsily waiting for the game to start in two hours, were stunned at first. Then, they trembled all over.
F * ck!
Is this for real?
At this time, He Wei followed up and said, "Manager Li Ang took over Sporting de Gijón midway and led the team, which was on the verge of relegation, to stage a comeback. They defeated Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey and won the Copa del Rey. Now, he has led the team to a miraculous promotion. Manager Li Ang also just received a trophy. He is honored as the best manager of the Segunda Liga!"
F * ck, f * ck, f * ck!
Amazing!
Awesome!
*****
The fans in front of the TV were not sleepy at all. They were shocked by the news, and then they were happy from the bottom of their hearts for Li Ang.
At this time, a line of words appeared on the TV screen:
Warm congratulations to Manager Li Ang for leading Sporting de Gijón to a successful promotion. Congratulations to Manager Li Ang for being the best manager of the Segunda Liga!
Seeing the TV station congratulate Li Ang in such a way on the TV screen, the fans were very surprised. This was definitely the first time for the sports channel, which had always been lukewarm, and even the commentary was not passionate enough.
Then, everyone was happy. This was really good news. Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they were not sleepy at all.
"I hope this news can cheer up the fans who are waiting to watch the game and no longer doze off," Duan Xuan said with a smile.
In front of the TV, there were countless fans laughing.
The congratulatory words stayed on the screen for as long as five seconds. The fans who stayed up late to watch the game were lucky enough to see this scene. This would be talked about by them for many years to come. They shared this joyous news with Li Ang, who was far away in Spain …
They were happy, they were happy, they were proud, not for anything else, but because Li Ang was their compatriot, a Chinese man!
