Seeing the sneer on Li Ang's face, Li Ang's commentator, Dagestino, who knew him very well, said with a smile, "Obviously, Coach Li Ang is very angry. He can't accept the penalty. He's very angry. For someone of his character, he can't accept that he can only watch his team lose from the stands! I bet he's dying to get back to the technical area. Not letting him direct the game from the sidelines is like killing him. In fact, among the fines that the Spanish Football Federation gave Sporting de Gijón, the one that had the biggest impact on the team was the suspension of Coach Li Ang. Without him directing the game from the sidelines, the team's fighting power will drop by at least 30%! "
"That's right. Sporting de Gijón has played very well in today's game, and that's with many of their players suspended. It can be seen how meticulous and correct Coach Li Ang's arrangements were before the game. If Coach Li Ang could direct the game from the sidelines today, Sporting de Gijón would most likely not have lost. A draw would have been possible." After a pause, González joked, "With Li Ang on the sidelines, Sporting de Gijón's goalkeeper would have a better chance of saving a penalty kick!"
The commentator was right. Sporting de Gijón had been awarded a total of five penalty kicks since the last few games of last season's Segunda División. They had saved four of them. Li Ang was in the technical area when they saved the four penalty kicks. One of them was when Li Ang changed the goalkeeper on the spot to save the penalty kick, and he really did save the penalty kick. The only penalty kick that was not saved was in today's game. Li Ang sat in the stands to supervise the game …

At the last moment of the game's injury stoppage time, Li Ang got up and rushed off the field.
He was stopped by the staff of the Spanish Football Federation.
"Mr. Li Ang, you can't go down yet," the staff said with a cold face.
At that moment, the referee, Hudson, blew the whistle to signal the end of the match.
"Can we go down now?" Li Ang asked coldly. When he saw the other party's awkward expression, he unceremoniously pushed him aside and left.
Looking at the back of the Chinese coach, the young interceptor was furious. Another older staff member next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't provoke him. He is angry now."
"What if he still dares to do it?" The young man said angrily.
"I don't know if he dares, but …" the elder said.
Then, the young man looked up and saw the many fans around him with unfriendly expressions.
These people were glaring at them fiercely. Among them, the fan leader, Harvey Gladro, was cracking his fingers loudly. He had a ferocious look on his face. He even cracked his mouth open and smiled fiercely.
The 'watcher', who had a resentful look on his face just now, immediately shut up … The fans of this team were as disgusting as their annoying manager.
*****
After the match, the team returned to the hotel on the bus. Li Ang's expression was unfriendly. Banderas, who was sitting next to him, even suspected that the person next to him was "Iceman."
The team had lost the match and the bus was quiet. The players knew that the manager was in a bad mood. No one dared to challenge Li Ang's patience at this time. There were almost no soft words.
"Damn the referee! Bastard! Bullshit! Bastard, how dare you play tricks on me. "Li Ang suddenly scolded.
Everyone was shocked. When they heard the manager's words, they all looked at each other. If these words were spread out and were known by the Spanish Football Federation, there would be a lot of trouble.
Of course, no one would spread these words with their big mouths. Instead, when they heard Li Ang's words, they resonated greatly in the hearts of the players. They did not think that they had lost to their opponent, Villarreal. They thought that they had lost to the referee. A non-existent penalty kick caused Sporting de Gijón to lose the match.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Li Ang snorted coldly. "What are you looking at me for? You should talk and do what you should do. Do you think I'll eat you up? "
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the manager's swearing, they finally returned to normal. The atmosphere just now was so oppressive that they almost could not breathe.
After Sporting de Gijón's captain and veteran, Hierro, later retired, he also felt that this was a very interesting and incredible situation in his autobiography. The young Li Ang had a very high prestige within the team. Even Hierro, a veteran who had experienced many world-class managers, had an inexplicable fear when Li Ang was angry.
"This is very interesting, but in fact, it is true," Hierro said in his autobiography. Hierro said in his autobiography, "Perhaps, at that time, I had already subconsciously regarded him as a very powerful coach."
The atmosphere in the bus finally improved. Some people began to talk in low voices. Those who liked to listen to music also turned on the speakers.
*****
At that moment, manager Li Ang's cell phone rang.
Li Ang picked up the phone. Everyone noticed that the manager's expression became very interesting, and the manager smiled.
That's right. Li Ang hung up the phone. The corners of his mouth curved up. He clicked his tongue twice, then looked at the players who were looking at him. He shook the cell phone in his hand and said, "Barcelona has tied."
There was a burst of cheers in the bus.
Sporting de Gijón had lost. Now that they heard that Barcelona had tied, they finally felt a little comforted in their hearts.
This did not mean that Sporting de Gijón wanted to compete with Barcelona for the title. It was because Sporting de Gijón's current situation was the direct cause of the conflict with Barcelona. In the hearts of Sporting de Gijón's players, Barcelona was the main culprit. Now that they had lost points, only Barcelona was also unlucky and also lost points. This was good, they could share the difficulties together.
The players thought that the manager's smile was because Barcelona had tied.
However, only Banderas and Skrtel, who were sitting closest to Li Ang, knew the reason. The phone call was made by Mitra, a reporter from the Voice of Gijón, to Li Ang. They heard Mitra specifically say that Barcelona had been awarded a penalty kick at the last minute, and Albacete used the penalty kick to tie the score at 2-2 …
Sporting de Gijón had been whistled for a penalty kick. In fact, this penalty kick was questionable.
On the other side, Barcelona had also lost points because of a penalty kick. Let's not talk about whether the penalty kick should be awarded first. The problem now was that Sporting de Gijón and Barcelona, two teams who had questioned the referee's decision, were awarded a penalty kick in the same round of the league tournament, and it directly caused the two teams to lose and draw. Let's not talk about whether the two teams were targeted by the referee, but the media could responsibly say that this matter had blown up.
*****
This was also the reason why Li Ang had a smile on his face. Sporting de Gijón was a small club, and it was difficult for them to wrestle with the Spanish Football Federation. They could only swallow their losses. Even Li Ang did not dare to continue to provoke the referee and the Spanish Football Federation. However, Barcelona was different. They were one of the two powerhouses of La Liga. Barcelona was not a club that would silently suffer losses …
"This is interesting." Li Ang winked at Banderas and Skrtel, his eyes full of smiles.
