Of course, there were also those who fanned the flames and added insult to injury. Sports Weekly, which had an old grudge with Li Ang, criticized Li Ang for being ungentlemanly and impolite, especially when he attacked Barcelona at the post-match press conference. He lacked respect for a powerhouse club. In addition, Li Ang "cursed" Eto'o to never be able to take a penalty kick in the future. He also lacked the courtesy and demeanor that a manager should have …
Seeing that Sports Weekly, after being honest for a while, once again attacked Li Ang, the domestic media followed suit. Some people expressed that they did not understand what Sports Weekly was thinking. Now, many domestic fans and readers liked Li Ang. As long as they followed the general trend and praised Li Ang and wrote a report from this person's point of view, it would definitely be popular. Besides, Li Ang did have a good performance, and the media did not feel guilty when praising him. At this time, Sports Weekly actually went against Li Ang again, which was incomprehensible.
Of course, there were also those who saw through this matter. It was nothing more than losing face. Last time, Sports Weekly's "fake news" incident had completely offended Li Ang. They were also tormented by Li Ang. They even lost a group of loyal readers and completely became enemies with Li Ang. Although they were forced to apologize to Li Ang and beg for mercy in the end, they probably still held a grudge in their hearts and wanted to get back at him.
This time, Sports Weekly seemed to feel that they had caught Li Ang's weakness and pinned a big label on him. They attacked Li Ang for being ungentlemanly and polite, which made Chinese people and Chinese football lose face …
Some domestic media and reporters were waiting to see what would happen next. They now understood Li Ang. He was not the kind of person who would suffer losses. If Li Ang knew about this incident, he would definitely not keep quiet.

When the results were announced, it immediately caused a heated discussion in the media.
Objectively speaking, the Spanish Football Federation's punishment was lighter than expected. Real Madrid had been clamoring for a minimum of five games for attacking players such as Eto 'o and Carlos. Now, it seemed that the Real Madrid people were going to be disappointed.
Of course, both Rijkaard and Li Ang would definitely curse because, in their opinion, the punishment was already very heavy. Regardless of whether it was Sporting de Gijón or Barcelona, many players were suspended. Even they themselves were suspended. With so many players in a team being punished on such a large scale, it was not a small blow to Barcelona, who was aiming to win the title, or Sporting de Gijón, who wanted to achieve good results.
What made Li Ang unhappy was why he was suspended for three games, while Rijkaard was suspended for two games. Both of them made the "same mistake," but why were the punishments different?! He sarcastically said in his column that the Spanish Football Federation was biased towards the powerhouses.
In response to Li Ang's doubts, the Spanish Football Federation had its own response. How was it biased? We fined you 10,000 euros, and we fined Rijkaard 30,000 euros.
Li Ang's response to the Spanish Football Federation in his column was "ha ha"!
This was the second time he used this word. The Spanish people, who were already very concerned about the Chinese, suddenly became interested and began to ponder about this word, which caused a wave of excitement.
*****
After the fines were issued, the media, who wanted to see the world in chaos, naturally hoped that Li Ang would continue to quarrel with the Spanish Football Federation and let the storm come more violently.
However, they were disappointed. Li Ang was silent for the time being and did not make any more comments. Sporting de Gijón even issued a news silence notice, prohibiting any players from accepting any media interviews.
Li Ang was not in the mood to care about what the media thought, let alone to argue with the Spanish Football Federation. His priority now was how to deal with the next few league games. With him and many players suspended, how could Sporting de Gijón get through the current difficulties? This was the most important problem at hand.
