The dark street, the dim street lights, and the snowflakes dancing in the sky. It was quiet. No, to be exact, it was lonely. An aura of loneliness spread out, making people feel sad.
In the distance, a figure stood in the wind and snow.
In the dead silence, the music sounded leisurely.
Who is singing?
"Hiding from the rain and snow, hiding in the rain and snow;
Trying in for a butiwon't let go, trying to forget, but how can I leave like this;
Lookingatacrowdstreet, looking at the bustling street;
Listening in for a heartbeat, but I can only hear my own heartbeat;
So many people all around the world;
Tell me where to find a girl like you, please tell me where to find a girl like you;
Take me to your heart, take me to your soul, keep me in your heart and accompany your soul … "
The camera was completely distant, not showing the man who was singing in a low voice. You couldn't see his face, but the song conveyed all his emotions …
Then at the other end of the street, the camera cut in. It was a close-up. It was already the scene of spring. A charming woman with fluttering blonde hair came leisurely, singing.
Take me to your heart, take me to your soul, let me come close to your heart and accompany your soul;
Give me your hand and hold me in your bosom;
Show me what love is, let the stars light my way;
It's the season to take you to your heart, it's really simple to love me;
*****
He came from the wind and snow, he came from the mountains, and she welcomed him in the spring. The two looked at each other, and all their thoughts were only in the song.
This was the MV of "Take Me to Your Heart", the title song of Shakira's latest album. Li Ang finally took the time to complete the shooting of this MV.
However, he had a request, that was, in this MV, there was no close-up shot of him, and his face was not shown at all.
Shakira naturally disagreed with this request at first, but in the face of Li Ang's insistence, the Colombian female singer could only compromise.
At this time, it was already the second day after the shooting. Li Ang had returned to Xi Hong's home. He was accompanying Alice to watch the demo of the newly recorded MV.
Watching and listening to Li Ang's affectionate singing, Alice smiled. However, when she saw Li Ang and Shakira's' affectionate gaze ', Alice snorted softly in her heart. In her mind, this song should be sung by her and Li Ang, not Shakira.
Well, Alice was a little jealous.
"Next time, you must sing a song with me," Alice said softly. "Well, you have to write me another song, a song that belongs only to me."
Not hearing Li Ang's reply, Alice turned her head to look, only to see Li Ang lying on the sofa, already asleep. Listening carefully, she could hear his snoring.
Alice's eyes were full of heartache. She gently turned off the TV, then took out a blanket and covered her boyfriend's body.
The fairy-like beautiful girl bent down slightly and looked at Li Ang's determined face. She could see his tiredness. Winking playfully, Alice gently pecked on Li Ang's cheek.
*****
Alice carefully tidied up the clutter on the table.
On the table in the living room, there was a stack of newspapers.
At the very top, there were some big news headlines in bold font.
"Sporting de Gijón Loses Four Games in a Row, Red and White Teams Encounter a Major Crisis"
"Li Ang Encounters a Crisis of Trust? Sporting de Gijón Brewing a Change of Manager? "
Glancing at these newspaper headlines, Alice cutely stamped her feet and snorted, but it startled the sleeping Li Ang. She turned her head and saw that Li Ang was just sleep-talking and didn't do anything else. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Alice knew that Li Ang was under a lot of pressure now. The intensity of his work was quite high, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days. And two days ago, he went to shoot Shakira's MV, which made him even more tired. However, Alice felt that shooting this MV wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It could let Li Ang temporarily forget his coaching work, relax his mind, and relieve the pressure on his body.
Alice cleaned up the table, looked at the time, then gently came up and kissed Li Ang's cheek, and then quietly left. This time, she took two days off to accompany Li Ang, and now she had to go back to work. Alice had now officially joined Shakira's work group. As Shakira's best friend, she was now very busy. Now, the whole team was busy promoting the new album. This time, Shakira vowed to fight a comeback battle.
The sound of a car engine came from outside the door. It was her agent, Miss Betty, driving to pick her up.
*****
Li Ang slept very soundly. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
He hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. With Alice by his side, it made him feel relaxed. Facing Alice, Li Ang subconsciously put aside all the unhappiness and pressure for the time being. He hoped that Alice would see him as always sunny and confident.
At this time, it was already early September of 2004, and the 20042005 season's La Liga had already gone through two rounds.
In the first round of the La Liga, Sporting de Gijón's first La Liga game after returning to the La Liga after many years, lost to Mallorca at home 0: 2. Before that, the defending champion of the Copa del Rey, Sporting de Gijón, lost to the La Liga champion Valencia in the two rounds of the Supercopa de España, 0: 2 away and 1: 2 at home. The total score was 1: 4. In this case, it was already three consecutive losses in the official games of the new season.
Then, in the second round of the La Liga on September 11th, Sporting de Gijón visited Numancia and faced their old opponent from last season's Segunda División. Sporting de Gijón lost 0: 1 in the away game, suffering two consecutive losses in the opening game of the league, and four consecutive losses in all competitions!
For a time, doubts and criticisms about Sporting de Gijón, especially about Li Ang, were rampant.
Especially the reporter from Marca, Phelps, who had successfully predicted that Li Ang would be in big trouble, was even more excited. He strongly called for Sporting de Gijón to fire Li Ang, and said, "As long as the China people are in Sporting de Gijón, Sporting de Gijón can't win."
Because of Li Ang's aggressive style, he had offended a lot of media. Previously, when he was in the limelight in the Segunda División and the last season's Copa del Rey, the media who were unhappy with him could only 'force a smile' and say good things about him.
But now, Sporting de Gijón had lost two consecutive games in the opening game of the league. Including the two rounds of the Supercopa de España, it was already four consecutive losses. Beating down a drowning dog was the media's strong suit. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
So, now, when they opened the newspaper and reported on Sporting de Gijón, they were basically attacking and criticizing Li Ang. The media, who had been unable to catch Li Ang's mistakes before, were as happy as a festival these days.
*****
Marca's reporter, Phelps, made another prediction. He believed that Sporting de Gijón would continue to lose in the next game and once again called on the Sporting de Gijón club to fire Li Ang.
The next game he mentioned was two days later. It was the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. Sporting de Gijón was at home and their opponent was Molotov Mots from the Czech First League.
This was also Sporting de Gijón's first appearance in the European competition after many years.
After playing the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League against Molotov Mots, Sporting de Gijón would welcome the third round of the 20042005 La Liga season on the weekend. Their opponent was an old rival they were familiar with, Real Zaragoza. This team was eliminated by them in the semifinals of the last season's Copa del Rey. Now, they were clamoring to teach Sporting de Gijón a lesson and take revenge.
Li Ang stood up and stretched. The sun shone through the layers of grass and through the window, leaving behind a ray of gold.
Li Ang opened his notebook. The work schedule showed the team's next game arrangements.
Molotov Mots!
Li Ang was not familiar with this strong team in the Czech First League, but this did not hinder his ambition at this time.
A pessimist would only see pessimism after losing four matches, while an optimistic and confident person would naturally see the positive side. Although Sporting Gihon had lost all four matches, Li Ang himself was the clearest that the team's performance in each match was better than the previous one. There was a lot to be said about the content of the matches.
In fact, take the Supercopa de España as an example. Sporting de Gijón lost the away game 0: 2, lost the home game 1: 2, and lost the Supercopa de España with a total score of 1: 4. Was this unacceptable? Li Ang did not think so. Sporting de Gijón had undergone a major change and was still in the adjustment period. Valencia, on the other hand, was the defending champion of La Liga. They had a strong and complete lineup. Under such circumstances, losing to such an opponent was not strange.
As for the two consecutive losses in the league, Li Ang needed to reflect on some aspects. There was also an element of bad luck, especially in the game against Numancia. Sporting de Gijón had a goal whistled and a penalty kick awarded. In the end, they lost the game 0: 1. This game was an unjust loss. Otherwise, Sporting de Gijón might have won. The team was indeed improving slowly.
It was precisely because he was sharp enough to catch the team's improvement that Li Ang was not too worried. He also did not lose confidence!
They had already lost four games. They had lost two in a row in the league. They could not continue to lose!
Sporting de Gijón's turnaround battle began with this Czech team!
Of course, there was still the next league opponent, Real Zaragoza. I could beat you when I was in La Liga. Now that I'm in La Liga, I'll beat you all the same!
