At the post-match press conference, dozens of reporters were waiting anxiously. Too many things had happened in this game, and any one of them was enough to excite the media.
The score of 8-0 was shocking. It could be said to be the biggest score in La Liga in recent seasons. Moreover, before the game, the media generally believed that the newly promoted team Sporting de Gijón, who had lost two games in a row at the start of the league, was the weak side. Some media even believed that Sporting de Gijón would not only lose the game and suffer three consecutive losses in the league, but also suffer a crushing defeat. Now, the score was indeed a big one, but the crushing defeat was the home team, Zaragoza!
In addition, compared to the score of 8-0, what happened on the field was more worthy of attention. After all, although the score of 8-0 was terrifying, it was not impossible to accept after the shock. The most important thing about this game was the story behind the 8-0 score. The caricature of the Zaragoza fans insulting the Sporting de Gijón manager in the stands, as well as the extremely racist and humiliating song in the second half of the game, and the provocative counterattack by the Sporting de Gijón manager against the home team fans. This was what the reporters paid more attention to.
As the reporters waited anxiously, the two managers arrived at the press conference.
According to the usual practice, the two managers would politely shake hands before taking their seats. However, the expressions of the two managers were very gloomy, and they had no intention of shaking hands at all.
Seeing this scene, the reporters immediately became excited.
Were they going to start a fight?!
As soon as the host announced the official start of the press conference, the hands of the reporters all went up in the air.
Li Ang did not speak.
The Zaragoza manager, Muñoz, did not speak either.
The host had no choice but to randomly pick a reporter.
*****
"Manager Li Ang, as a manager, don't you think it's too much to provoke the fans on the sidelines?" A Zaragoza reporter could not wait to open fire.
"I suggest that you go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination," Li Ang said as he glanced at the reporter.
"What?" The reporter was dumbfounded and did not understand.
"I suspect that you have a problem with your eyesight and hearing." Li Ang sneered, "If you're not blind, can't you see what happened in the stands? If you're not deaf, can't you hear it? "
The reporter finally understood. He was not an easy person to deal with. "Those are not reasons for a manager to do such ugly things."
"You are a pig," Li Ang said.
Everyone was stunned.
"What?"
"You're a pig!" Li Ang raised his voice. Now, everyone heard him say 'you're a pig'!
The scene was in an uproar.
"Bastard! What did you say? "The reporter was furious." You have to apologize to me, apologize to me! "
Li Ang shrugged. "Look, I just said it casually, and you can't stand it. If tens of thousands of people called you a pig, would you go crazy?"
The angry reporter was stunned. He looked at the Chinese man with a red face. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.
"Well done!" Mitra, the reporter from the Voice of Gijon, applauded Li Ang. Li Ang used the spear to attack the shield of the shield. He was even smoother than him as a reporter, which made him admire him.
"This is an ugly game. I can't imagine that such a thing could happen in Spanish football. These ugly actions are not a humiliation to me, but to the whole of Spanish football! I'm just a football manager, that's all! " Li Ang stood up. "I want to thank my players. They did a great job. I told them that I was very angry. I wanted them to keep scoring goals. They responded with victories and goals! I want to thank them! Well, that's all I want to say. "
*****
After that, Li Ang turned around and seemed to be ready to leave.
The host reminded him, "Mr. Li Ang, the press conference is not over yet …"
"I've said what I wanted to say." Li Ang sneered. "The air here makes me very uncomfortable."
After saying that, he strode away.
At this time, the Real Zaragoza manager, Muñoz, who had been silent all this time, muttered, "How ungentlemanly!"
Li Ang stopped halfway because of this sentence. He turned around and looked at Muñoz with a ferocious expression. "Gentlemanly, Mr. Muñoz. You can go teach those bastards in the stands a lesson and teach them to be gentlemanly."
Muñoz's face was red and he did not dare to speak.
However, Li Ang did not intend to let this person go. "I heard that you said before the game that you wanted to beat us by five goals? I'm sorry, I was going to return the favor by five goals, but I accidentally scored three more goals! "
These words were arrogant.
Muñoz's chest tightened and he almost couldn't breathe. He was just indignant after the fiasco and could not help but say a few words, and he was humiliated like this.
After saying that, he left the press conference hall without looking at Muñoz or the reporters who called his name and asked questions.
*****
In the third round of the La Liga, Sporting de Gijón defeated Real Zaragoza 8-0 in the away game. This became the most shocking game of the round of the league.
When the Spanish media reported this game, they used the most descriptive words such as "shocking," "unbelievable," and "crazy."
Sporting de Gijón, who had lost two games in a row at the start of the league, surprised everyone in the third round.
However, compared to the score itself, the insulting and suspected racist behavior of the Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, by the radical fans of Real Zaragoza in the stands became the focus of the media reports in the Iberian Peninsula.
In Spain, it was common for people to smear China's reputation due to their lack of understanding of the mysterious ancient eastern country, or due to some ulterior motives. Some Spaniards always felt good about themselves when they faced Chinese people, and there was no lack of discriminatory remarks.
However, to appear on the football field so openly and brazenly attack the Chinese manager of Sporting de Gijón in such a blatant manner, such a blatant act was very excessive and out of line.
The Spanish media was excited and began to criticize Real Zaragoza, the behavior of the fans, and the Real Zaragoza club. Their eyes were red and they looked as if they wanted to nail Real Zaragoza to the pillar of shame. Although many of the media had previously smeared China's reputation, this did not prevent them from standing on the moral high ground to criticize Real Zaragoza. After all, the people of Real Zaragoza jumped out and did it so blatantly.
*****
After the game, the entire Sporting de Gijón team did not stay in Zaragoza overnight. They took the bus back to Gijón almost overnight.
"The media is criticizing Real Zaragoza," said the assistant manager, Scott Tri, as he glanced at Li Ang, who was sitting silently in his seat.
Li Ang nodded noncommittally. He was still very uncomfortable, but he knew that for him, it was best to let this matter go as soon as possible. He could not continue to be entangled in this matter. He had already scolded the people of Real Zaragoza and had also given the strongest response. What else could he do? Should he go on the streets and beat up the Zaragoza fans and make them kneel down?!
That was impossible.
This incident had a great impact on Li Ang. He began to realize that as a Chinese man, an intruder from China, which was considered a "football desert" by Europe, it was very difficult for him to win true respect in Spain, or in European football.
Today's incident had also taught him a lesson. He gritted his teeth. Since you don't respect me now, then I'll beat you up. I'll beat up those doubters and those with bad intentions. On the football field, results speak louder than words. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be destroyed!
Respect is earned through fighting!
Let some people be afraid first, then we can have a good talk about respect!
Li Ang had never had the consciousness of being a pioneer of Chinese football in Europe, nor did he want to be such a person. He was like a lonely dreamer, but he knew that he was a Chinese man. This was the brand of his soul. When criticism and humiliation were directed at his bloodline, he could not tolerate it!
This dreamer, this man who chased after his dreams, had a firm will. He swore that even if the future was full of thorns, he would have the confidence to fight for a smooth future and embrace all the flowers and glory!
One day, he would make everyone look up to him. This was the young man's thought.
