The whole of Gihon was talking about the big victory over Real Madrid. The northern port city of Spain was immersed in joy, as if it was a festival.
In contrast to the celebration in Gihon, Madrid was full of grief.
After the game, there were rumors that the whole Real Madrid team stayed in the locker room for an hour before leaving. Real Madrid president Florentino also went to the locker room to give a lecture. Then, he had a deep conversation with Real Madrid manager Luxemburgo for more than twenty minutes. The content of the conversation was unknown, but Luxemburgo's face was very ugly.
Then, Real Madrid captain Raúl apologized to the fans on behalf of the whole team.
The next day, the Madrid media was full of criticism. The game was directly defined as a disgrace!
The Madrid media criticized and mocked the team. Now, it seemed that Real Madrid was not only getting further away from the league title, but also from the qualification for the Champions League. Even the qualification for the UEFA Europa League, which Real Madrid looked down on, was a distance away from the current Real Madrid.
The Madrid media was perhaps the most demanding media on the planet. When Real Madrid performed well, they would praise and criticize. In their eyes, Real Madrid had to be better, stronger, and more perfect. But when Real Madrid performed badly, they would almost be a comprehensive criticism. It even gave people the illusion that these media were Real Madrid's sworn enemies. In fact, these media were all pro-Real Madrid media in the traditional sense, and were even the mouthpiece of Real Madrid.
These media went in and out of the Real Madrid base, and even the locker room was like flat ground. For example, this time, Florentino's lecture in the locker room, and the meeting between Florentino and Luxemburgo, they were able to report it immediately.
*****
When Capello previously coached Real Madrid, he expressed his disgust with the Real Madrid media. He said that Real Madrid's locker room was almost transparent because some reporters knew the situation in the locker room better than him, the manager of Real Madrid. After the current Real Madrid manager Luxemburgo came to Madrid, he considered restricting the media, but it was useless because these media were all connected, such as Raúl's reporter friends, Zidane's French friends, Figo's Portuguese friends, Beckham's English media friends …
As a result, these pro-Real Madrid media would always expose some unfavorable news about Real Madrid. For example, this time, after the game, the media exposed that Ronaldo and his Brazilian manager Luxemburgo had a quarrel, and that Guti smashed a chair in the locker room and other negative news.
This kind of situation in some other big clubs, such as Manchester United, would never happen. In Manchester, as long as the media dared to speak ill of Manchester United, especially the media who dared to expose the internal situation in the locker room, they would be banned by Ferguson. In Sir Alex's eyes, what was called the mouthpiece of the club? It was to serve the club and only provide positive energy.
Regarding this understanding, Li Ang and Sir Alex had the same view. For example, now in Gihon, Li Ang had almost unified the media in Gihon. The media that had spoken ill of him and Sporting de Gijón had become obedient after his round of banning. The media was almost singing praises of Sporting de Gijón, promoting the unity of the team, the brilliance of the manager, the hard work of the players in training, and so on. Even if there were occasional criticisms, they would be kind and carefully worded. The Gihon Post, which was the first to bombard Li Ang, was still banned by the Sporting de Gijón manager. Because it could not get the reports and situation of Sporting de Gijón, the media, which originally occupied more than half of Sporting de Gijón's market share, was now shrinking rapidly and was on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. This was simply a deterrent for all the local media in Gihon who wanted to find trouble with Li Ang and Sporting de Gijón!
Of course, Sporting de Gijón was now in a good situation. The media's praise of Li Ang and the players seemed to have the intention of pushing the boat along with the current. You, I'm good, everyone's good situation was like this.
*****
The whole city of Gihon was in a happy atmosphere, but Li Ang was frowning at this time.
Dorado's injury had been diagnosed and the Spanish native fullback would need to rest for three weeks to a month.
This made Li Ang breathe a sigh of relief. The result was not too bad. In the right fullback position, he still had two options, Ivanovic and Alegre. It would not be a problem for him to cope for a month.
What made Li Ang angry and troubled was Mata's injury. Compared to Dorado, Mata's position and role in Li Ang's tactics were much more important.
After a detailed examination of Mata's injury, there was a definite result. Mata, who had just recovered from his injury, needed to rest for three months. Even if his later recovery was good, it would still take more than two months.
At this time, Li Ang thought of Guti's foul and still gnashed his teeth in hatred. If possible, he really wanted to beat this man up.
*****
At the press conference after the game, the Real Madrid manager, Luxemburgo, attacked Javier Blanco for deceiving the referee. He said that Guti was wronged and that Guti should not have been sent off. He attacked Sporting de Gijón's victory for being dishonorable.
At that time, Li Ang went berserk. He fought back and said that Guti's injury was very obvious, but Blanco was alert and avoided it. Then, according to Real Madrid's statement, if a strong base player violated someone, took off his clothes, and was about to get on top, but found that he could not get hard, was not a crime? What a shameless statement!
Both sides scolded each other at the press conference. However, it was clear that Luxemburgo's eloquence was no match for Li Ang's. Moreover, in the overall process of the game, Real Madrid should have been favored by the referee. His accusation that Sporting de Gijón was taken care of by the referee was really difficult to establish.
Just after the game, Real Madrid provided a written report to the Spanish Football Federation's referees' committee, accusing Sporting de Gijón's player, Javier Blanco, of diving. They applied to punish Blanco and to cancel Guti's red card punishment.
Sporting de Gijón was also not ambiguous. Under Li Ang's suggestion, Sporting de Gijón's general manager, Venita Arango, also provided a written report to the Spanish Football Federation's referees' committee immediately, accusing Real Madrid's player, Guti, of malicious injury and demanding that Guti be severely punished. She also expressed her dissatisfaction with the unfair enforcement of the game's referee, Marunke.
Obviously, although the game was over, the war between Sporting de Gijón and Real Madrid, which had been feuding since last season's Copa del Rey final, had not ended. Instead, it had spread beyond the game.
This indeed shocked and delighted the media. In Spanish football, there were clubs who dared to go against Real Madrid. Barcelona was Real Madrid's sworn enemy, and Valencia was also a club who held the banner of anti-Real Madrid. However, no small and medium-sized club dared to go against Real Madrid. Sporting de Gijón, a newly promoted team that had left La Liga for many years, surprised everyone once again.
The media also generally believed that this was because of the enmity between Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang, and Real Madrid. They also lamented that this Chinese man's desire for revenge was really strong. Of course, there were also media who discussed whether Real Madrid had driven out Li Ang at that time. Was this a loss for Real Madrid?!
This was the first discussion in the Spanish media about whether driving out Li Ang and forming a grudge with this person was a loss for Real Madrid. This time, the discussion was not intense. It was only occasionally mentioned by the media. Later, when Li Ang's team collided with Real Madrid, there were more and more similar discussions about it and it became more and more intense …
*****
Li Ang was in a good mood when he led the team to a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid. He also received the reward for the side mission of this game, [Return to Bernabéu].
This reward was the [Cannon] Skill Card!
Li Ang carefully studied this Skill Card. This was a level one [Cannon] Skill Card. According to the instructions, in a certain game, at a certain time, he used the [Cannon] Skill Card. The success rate of the team's long shots would increase by 15%!
The effective time of this time was fifteen minutes!
Li Ang was already imagining a certain scene. At a certain time, under his command, the whole team suddenly activated long shots and bombarded the opponent's goal indiscriminately. It seemed that just thinking about it made him feel good.
*****
In addition, Li Ang also discovered a hidden attribute of the [Cannon] Skill Card: the success rate of long shots increased by 15%. This effect was applied to all the players on the field. In other words, the players on the field who got the chance to shoot long shots would have a 15% increase in success rate. However, Li Ang could also choose the single control mode. This meant that if he used the Skill Card on a certain player, then within fifteen minutes, the success rate of long shots of the player he chose would increase by 20%! The extra five percentage points were the bonus under the single control mode. Of course, if he chose the single control mode, the other players would not have the increase in success rate when they chose to shoot long shots.
This unexpected discovery also made Li Ang very happy. When he used the [Cannon] Skill Card, he had more options. As for whether to choose the group attack mode or the single control mode, it depended on his choice at that time according to the state and strength of the whole team or a certain player.
Li Ang was already thinking about whether to specially ask some players to practice long shots during the usual training. For example, Modric? The Croatian had the foundation of a long shot in the future.
