Pepe's super long shot goal in the game against Sevilla was voted the best goal of the round in La Liga.
However, with the media hyping up the referee incident, Pepe's attention was weakened, which made the young man a little unhappy. As a center back, was it easy for him to score a goal, and it was such a wonderful explosive score …
In an interview with Spain's national channel 3, Li Ang was also asked about the referee incident that was currently being hyped up.
"Yes, I'm very worried now," said Li Ang.
"Coach Li Ang, what are you worried about?"
"In two months, it will be the game against Real Madrid. I'm very worried." The Sporting de Gijón manager's face was full of worry.
Just this one sentence was better than thousands of words. Li Ang fully showed the Spaniards what the art of speaking was. He did not mention the word referee. He did not mention anything. The word "worried" contained thousands of words.
Real Madrid had been stabbed by their "old rival," Li Ang.
*****
Li Ang's timely stab at Real Madrid attracted a lot of goodwill from the Atlético Madrid people. It was one of their greatest pleasures to see Real Madrid make a fool of themselves, especially when they had just been wronged and had just suffered a crushing defeat in the Madrid Derby.
In addition, Li Ang also expressed his support for Atlético Madrid's manager, Ferrando, saying that he could understand Ferrando's anger because he had felt the same way.
His words attracted the anger of the Real Madrid people. You feel the same way? Recently, in the games between Real Madrid and Sporting de Gijón, it was always Sporting de Gijón who won. Real Madrid was still the one who was hurt the most, okay?!
In the next few days, the media made a lot of noise about the referee's problems in this round of the league tournament.
Li Ang's two sentences were also put in a prominent position as quotes. The feud between him and Real Madrid seemed to be even more irreconcilable under the media's fanning.
Although in the first half of the league tournament, Sporting de Gijón had an unpleasant encounter with Barcelona when they visited Camp Nou, in front of their common enemy, Real Madrid, the Catalonia media still praised his remarks.
Real Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona … These teams did not get along well with Li Ang, but at this moment, the latter two and Li Ang were temporary allies. The world was wonderful.

Three days later, in the first round of the Copa del Rey, Sporting de Gijón played against Osasuna in an away game. An opponent that was slightly difficult to deal with.
Although Sporting de Gijón won the Copa del Rey last season, which was the first championship honor in Li Ang's coaching career and the first championship trophy for Sporting de Gijón in recent decades, Li Ang did not feel good about the Copa del Rey.
There was only one reason. The Copa del Rey's competition system was too intensive.
The Copa del Rey adopted a two-legged home and away game system, which undoubtedly greatly consumed the team's physical strength. Throughout January, the Copa del Rey's competition was the most intensive.
It was a great test for the team's physical strength.
In this game, Li Ang carried out a large rotation of the team's lineup. Handanović was given the opportunity to start. Vermaelen, Chiesa, and Juan Arango, who had just joined the team, were given the opportunity to start. Benzema, Javier Blanco, and the other substitute players were all played.
The media and fans could also see from Sporting de Gijón's lineup that Li Ang's attitude towards the Copa del Rey was dispensable.
In fact, from Li Ang's point of view, if the team was eliminated from the Copa del Rey now, he would not care at all. After all, once the Copa del Rey reached the top eight, and after the UEFA Europa League reignited, Sporting de Gijón would have to fight on three fronts. This could be said to be extremely dangerous for the current Sporting de Gijón's lineup: it would be difficult for them to cope.
In the end, Sporting de Gijón tied with Osasuna in the away game 1: 1. Osasuna took the lead in the second half of the game, and Sporting de Gijón equalized the score at the last minute through Benzema. The camera caught the team's goal. When the team scored, Sporting de Gijón's manager Li Ang raised his arms to celebrate the goal. However, this celebration did not have the usual enthusiasm. It looked more like a "routine".
*****
Indeed, as the media said, Li Ang was not that excited about the equalizer at the last minute. The score of 1: 1 was good for Sporting de Gijón. They got the away goal and took the lead on the road to promotion. This also meant that Sporting de Gijón had a good chance of advancing to the top eight.
Li Ang's heart was complicated. The team did well, and he was happy. However, the pressure of fighting on three fronts gave him a headache. It should be said that it was painful and happy at the same time.
However, of course, he would not admit that he had given up on the Copa del Rey because it was unfair to the players who worked hard in this game. In an interview with the media after the game, Li Ang praised the players and said that he was happy that the team could make a breakthrough on the road to promotion.
In this round of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, there was an unexpected result. Real Madrid was forced to a 0: 0 draw by Valladolid in the away game. This also aroused the anger of the Madrid media, who condemned Real Madrid in speech and in writing. It must be known that just three days ago, when Real Madrid won the Madrid Derby, the same media was not stingy with their praise.
Li Ang watched the fun from the sidelines. At the same time, he also expressed sympathy for the Real Madrid manager, Luxemburgo. This time, he was not purely sarcastic and ridiculing the famous Brazilian manager. He was really expressing subtle sympathy. Li Ang was extremely disgusted and disgusted with the Madrid media. It was not only because the media did not have a good relationship with him, but also because the Madrid media turned hostile faster than flipping a book. What they wanted to see was Real Madrid always performing well. At the same time, they were also secretly poaching Real Madrid's players. They were keen to report some of Real Madrid's contradictions and scandals. Then, they would continue to criticize Real Madrid. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were eating Real Madrid's food and scolding Real Madrid …
Of course, this had little to do with Li Ang. His team was in good shape now. The winter break did not affect Sporting de Gijón's condition. Just after the Copa del Rey game against Osasuna, Li Ang and his Sporting de Gijón had a strong opponent. Their opponent was no other than the team that Li Ang had just supported – Atlético Madrid, led by Atlético Madrid manager Ferrando!
*****
"Atlético Madrid is a club with a long history and has glory that belongs to them! This is a respectable team. "
"Coach Ferrando is a respectable coach. He has a lot of noble qualities that I need to learn from him."
Li Ang said.
"Coach Li Ang is the most dazzling discovery in Spanish football. His team plays amazing football."
"Sporting de Gijón can be ranked third in the league, which is admirable."
Atlético Madrid manager Ferrando said.
"This is a very exciting game." The two managers expressed the same point of view at the pre-game press conference. It was very polite and harmonious.
In the stands of the El Molinón Stadium, the fans of the home team, Sporting de Gijón, also put up a banner: Friends of Atlético, welcome.
The Atlético Madrid fans expressed their gratitude and shouted the name of Sporting de Gijón's manager, Li Ang's name in unison. They expressed their gratitude to the "righteous" and "righteous" young manager.
When Li Ang and Ferrando shook hands before the game, there was a smile on their faces.
This could be said to be the most harmonious scene in this round of La Liga. The two teams that were about to be opponents were so respectful to each other. It was really …
The game began.
