Intermission.

Li Ang was talking in the locker room. He scolded the court for his performance in the first half with a very harsh attitude. What he was most dissatisfied with was the team's attitude towards the game. It cannot be said that the players were lazy, but the team did not show the decisive momentum and fighting spirit that Li Ang wanted to see.

Especially Ruben, Li Ang directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the player.

"David Reuben!" Li Ang looked at Reuben, "What I want to know is, what did you do last night? Did it be the girl on Fifth Avenue that exhausted you?!"

The players looked at the head coach in surprise, as if they didn't expect the head coach to speak so harshly.

However, some people praised the coach's words. Everyone saw Ruben's performance in the first half. To a certain extent, the "no fighting spirit" performance of this starting striker also affected other players to a certain extent.

Ruben dared not look at Li Ang and hung his head, which made Li Ang even more disappointed. If this person dared to return to himself with an angry and unwilling look, although Li Ang would be unhappy, at least it means that this person is bloody.

"In the second half, I hope to see a different you." Li Ang said, "Run actively and use your speed and skills to create trouble for Salamanca's defense!"

"Their big centre-back turns slowly! You have your advantage!"

Li Ang looked at the silent Ruben, and he was furious. If possible, he would want to replace Ruben now. However, no one is available now. Without any choice, Li Ang made up his mind to replace McGurp Pihera so early.

************

Then, Li Ang began to make tactical adjustments in the second half. Li Ang's mobile phone rang. He looked at the number and it was called by Fernandez, the head coach of Team B.

Li Ang immediately knew what the call was doing. He asked Fernandez to help pay attention to other matches. Before the start of the game between Sporting Gijon and Salamanca, the second half of the game between Leganes and Mesia City had just begun, and the game over there should be over.

Currently, Sporting Gijon ranks 18th in the Spanish Football League second division, and Leganes ranks 19th, who is obviously the most direct competitor of Sporting Gijon's relegation.

"Jesus." Li Ang pointed outside the door.

Assistant coach Scottry nodded and said he was handed over the locker room.

Li Ang walked out, turned them off before answering the phone.

"Li!" As soon as the phone was connected, Fernandez's impatient voice was heard. When Li Ang heard it, he knew that it would not be good news.

Sure enough, he learned from Fernandez's mouth the result of the match between Leganes and Mescia City. Leganes defeated Mescia City three-to-two away and scored a valuable three-pointer.

"Can you win this game?" Fernandez asked with concern. Of course, he also knew what Leganes won would mean for Sporting Gijon.

"Will win!" Li Ang replied seriously, and then he thanked Fernandez and hung up the phone.

Li Ang, who returned to the locker room, looked at the players. Generally speaking, the head coach would temporarily hide such bad news from the players, for fear of affecting the players' performance and bringing psychological pressure to the players.

However, Li Ang suddenly decided to tell them the content of the phone, which might have an unexpected effect.

"Do you know who called me just now?" He took out his cell phone and shook it.

Everyone looked at him.

"It's Mr. Fernandez, the head coach of Team B." Li Ang threw his phone on the table and made a banging sound. "Of course, it doesn't matter who called the phone. What's important is the content of the phone!"

This has attracted the interest of the players.

"The match between Leganes and Mesia City is over," said Li Ang, and then he observed the expressions of the crowd, "That's right, it's bad news! Leganes won!"

There was a lot of discussion in the locker room, and everyone obviously knew what Leganes won to Sporting Gijon. Currently, Sporting Gijon and Leganes have both 30 points in points. Sporting Gijon temporarily surpassed Leganes because of a few more goals. Now, Leganes has won in this round of league. If Sporting Gijon cannot win, then Leganes will surpass Sporting Gijon, which also means that Sporting Gijon will further slide into the abyss of relegation.

"Well... I believe you guys understand what this means. I understand that some people may think that even if the team is relegated, it will not have much impact on their future. They will not worry about having no way out!" Li Ang asked expressionlessly.

"If someone thinks this way, then it's wrong!" Li Ang's voice suddenly increased, "The team has been relegated. This is not just a loss for the team, but a disaster for everyone who is doing it!"

"If I were the head coach of another team, when I chose a new player, I would not like to use a player in the relegation team!" Li Ang said, "This is not my bias! Even if I really value a player in the relegation team, I will observe his performance in this season and see his performance on the road to relegation of that team. If he worked hard and the team was relegated, he had a clear conscience. It's great, I want this player! However, if you are indifferent to the team's bad situation, even a player who did not perform hard even during the relegation battle, I'm sorry, I don't like this! I'm not at ease with such a player!"

Li Ang said it very straightforwardly, and few coaches would say it so straightforwardly. However, Li Ang did this because he knew that at this time, this way was the most effective way!

He now only has one idea, and he will do whatever he wants. As long as he can burn the players' fighting spirit, make them scream, and play hard in the game, this is the most important thing!

************

"So, please remember! You need to work hard, this is not only for the team, but also for yourself!!" Li Ang said, "There is another saying that may be very ugly! That is, the team's current financial situation is very bad, you know, but does the team owe you a penny of salary? No! No!"

“Even in the most difficult times, Mr. Alango would rather sell shares in his own property than make sure that all of you pay their salaries on time!”

"Even in such a situation, Mr. Chairman offered a winning bonus!"

"You are all professional players. Don't say more about what to do and what to do!"

The players were silent at first, but finally, someone broke the silence. It was the team's captain Miguel Cobas, he shouted: "Coach, stop talking!"

"Okay, then I won't say it!" Li Ang said, "Everyone, everyone who is doing it! I will look at your performance with my eyes!" Then, he looked at the time of the watch on his wrist, "There are three minutes left in the intermission, I will give you these three minutes!"

After saying that, Li Ang kicked open the door of the locker room and left directly.

Assistant coach Scottry looked at this scene and looked at the back of Li Ang who had left, and was at a loss. He never expected this to happen. Then Scottry also walked out of the locker room and closed the door of the locker room.

He found Li Ang standing in the corridor.

"Are there any cigarettes?" Li Ang asked.

Scottry took out a cigarette from his pocket, "Cigarettes are a must-have for coaches." Then he asked in surprise, "But I remember you don't smoke."

Li Ang said nothing, lit a cigarette, smoked half of it in one breath, which scared Scottry.

"Is it useful?" Scottry asked. Of course he was not stupid, and he also realized that Li Ang used aggressive techniques and emotional offensives.

"I don't know." Li Ang shook his head, "If they still have a little bit of professional shame, it will be useful!"

Of course it is useful!

Three minutes later, the door of the locker room was opened, and under the leadership of captain Miguel Cobas, they rushed out of the locker room. They all had serious expressions, as if they were soldiers who were going to fight to the battlefield.
