Chapter 052: Veteran McGur, Welcome Home! (Asking for a monthly pass)

Hearing Leon's words, McGur Picla's eyes widened and he looked at the new first-team manager in front of him with an incredible expression. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mr. Coach. McGur Pihra smiled wryly, and at the same time was a little angry, "Please stop kidding. ”

He thought that Leon was joking with him, which also made the simple veteran a little angry.

"Are you kidding? No, no, no. Leon was surprised, he glanced at McGurre, and then at assistant coach Scottray, and somewhat understood, it was very likely that Scottery misunderstood what he meant by calling McGurre, and then conveyed this meaning.

"I'm not kidding. Leon said seriously, "McGur, can I call you that?"

"Absolutely. Macoul Pichra looked at Leon, who was still a little dazed and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Very well, let's take our time in this matter. "First of all, I came to you to ask, do you have any thoughts on playing in a different position?"

"Playing in a different position?" asked McGur Pichra in surprise, and at the same time he finally understood what the manager meant, not to terminate his contract, but to let himself play in a different position?!

What do you mean? I've always played in the front midfield, change positions?

"Mr. coach, there have been coaches who have asked me to try my midfield, but-" McGur Pihra said honestly. He wasn't going to hide anything.

"Lower back? no, no, no. Leon patted McGur Pihra on the shoulder, "I mean, you're not playing in midfield anymore, you're moving forward, playing as a central striker, to be exact!"

It's an interesting scene, 27-year-old Leon pats 35-year-old McGur Pihra on the shoulder and speaks earnestly.

"Playing as a striker?" McGur Pichra was stunned, "Sir, I've tried to play as a striker, but I'm not good at my feet, I can't dribble the ball, I can't break through. ”

Hearing the other party admit so frankly, Leon glanced at McGur and said in his heart, this is really an honest and simple player.

***********

"It's a centre-forward, not a striker!" said Leon, who in Spain, many people refer to as a striker who can shoot suddenly, with good skills at his feet and can play in the penalty area.

"Is it playing like Vieri?" asked Maguel Pihla.

At this time, the first name that comes to mind when Spanish fans mention the center forward is Christian Vieri, the Italian who made people realize how terrible a heavy tank can be in the penalty area when he was at Atletico Madrid.

You can understand it this way. "But, to be more precise, you're a player in the box! All you have to do is be in the box, pass the ball to your teammates, put it into the goal, yes, use your head!"

Vieri is not just a threat in the penalty area, when he hits the ball with him, it is like a moving tank, and the defenders can't stop him.

Therefore, Leon needs to explain in particular, not Vieri's kind, it is more special, just in the forbidden area!

McGur Pichela now understood that the coach meant to keep him fixed in the box, and then the task was to play with his header and head the ball.

Now, he was even more confused.

"Coach, my header is average, I never knew I had a good header. No one has ever asked me to go up in particular to head the ball. Magul Pichla said.

Li Angxin said, that's because you didn't meet me, you didn't meet a person who discovered your talent!

***********

"I think you have a great ability to tackle the ball, especially with a header!" Leon said, looking at McGur Pihra with a very serious expression, "If you're willing to follow my advice and change positions—"

"I do!" replied before Leon could finish speaking.

Leon also thought that he had to take a lot of words to persuade him, McGur Pihra is not the kid of Carlos, Carlos is grateful to Leang, and it is easier to persuade young people to change positions to play, but McGur Pihra is different, he is thirty-five years old, and people of this age are very assertive.

I didn't expect Megur Pihra to agree so happily, which made Leon a little surprised.

"Well, McGur...... You can think about it for a few minutes, and I can give you a few minutes to think about it!" Leon said.

Maguel Pihra smiled and smiled happily, "Don't think about it, coach, I agree." ”

"Why? You just believe what I say, and you don't worry at all when I let you play in a position you've never played before?" asked Leon.

'For someone who could be terminated, it doesn't matter, I'm happy to be able to play the ball. Magul Pichla said.

Leon was silent, he forgot about this stubble, from the perspective of McGur Picla, it is true, seeing that he is about to be terminated by the team, his dream will be completely shattered, at this time, let alone let him play as a striker, or to play as a defender, it is estimated that McGur Pichra will eventually agree.

Playing at the Estadio Elmolinon in a Sporting Gijón shirt is a belief for Macoul Pihra and he is willing to do anything for it. Not to mention just switching positions to play football.

***********

Macoul Pihra agreed to play as a centre-forward, which made Leon breathe a sigh of relief, but there were some concerns.

"McGur. Li Ang looked at the veteran, "I can understand your feelings, but, I want to say, I let you play as a center forward and let you stay in the team, definitely not because I sympathize with you, pity you!"

Leon's tone was serious.

McGur Pihra looked at Leon, he was surprised, he did think that Leon was pitying him, changing him to play as a center forward was just an excuse, giving him a reason to stay in the team, when the time comes, a certain game, let him play, in the garbage time of the game, hang around in the penalty area for a few minutes, neither affect the team's midfield, nor cause problems to his own defense, this is the best way to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, he took pity on him, gave him the opportunity to represent the team, and tried to avoid threatening his own goal.

"In my team, any player I choose to play is carefully selected by me, and I think they can contribute to the team!

"You are a useful player! I believe you can help the team!" said Leon, "I think you can contribute to the team's relegation!

'I asked you to play as a centre-forward because I think that position suits you, that you can contribute to the team in that position!

'You're a useful player!'

'I think you can contribute to the team's relegation!'

"To be able to score goals!"

Macoul Pichera listened to Leon's words, his heart changed emotionally, Leon's every word, as if the drum beat on his heart, he felt a surging emotion in his chest, he suddenly looked up and looked at Leon.

"So, McGurr, if I send you on the field, it means that the team needs you to attack the city!" "So, I hope you can maintain a strong desire to fight, I don't doubt your love for this team, I hope that you can turn your love for the team for more than 20 years, and the expectation of these 20 years, into strength!!"

McGur Pihra has been silent, his fists clenched.

Leon patted McGur Pihra on the shoulder again, "I believe in my vision! You must have heard that I see people very accurately! I look at Marcos and Carlos very accurately! I look at you very accurately!"

Finally, McGur Picla, the unpretentious thirty-five-year-old veteran, looked at Leon, his eyes reddened, and he held back his emotions, "Sir, you are the first person to say that I am useful to the team! I am very happy to hear that I am useful to Sporting Gijón! I am very happy, very happy, thank you, sir." ”

As he spoke, McGur Pehra bowed slightly to Leon.

"Sir, I don't know how you judge that I can play as a center forward, but I believe in you. I'm going to try to play well in this position," says McGur Pihra.

Leon couldn't help but ask, "Really believe me?"

McGur Pihra nodded vigorously, "Sir, I am not young, I have met many people, my eyes are bright, I can see that you are sincere!

The latter words are very awkward, but they contain all the emotions. When Magur said this, Leon could understand what it meant: he was the first person to be so sincere and trusted by Macoul Pihra that he would be useful to Sporting Gijón!

***********

"I'll arrange for Mr. Scott to offer you a new contract. "Your original contract expires at the end of the season, and I want to be able to extend it for another year, is there a problem?"

"No problem. Makul Pihra said hard.

"Are there any requirements for salary?"

"The salary doesn't matter, just let me play ......"

'Remember, McGurre, you're the player I value and I'm looking for good players. You have to recognize your own worth. Leon reprimanded, and then Leon glanced at the assistant coach Scottrey who was stunned from the sidelines, "Jesus, you need to bother to get more of McGur's contract." ”

The latter nodded busily, and at the same time, Scott Tree had a head full of questions to ask Leon at this time.

Then, Leon realized that he had just reprimanded McGur Pichra too harshly, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, McGur, I just-"

"Sir, you are the coach and I am the player. Magul Pichla said.

Ha, Leon is happy, he just likes such a player, an absolute professional player, just with this attitude, any manager likes it, in fact, Leon is very satisfied with McGoure Pihra, training hard, perseverance, so to speak, there is no more tenacious player in the whole team of Sporting Gijón, and now the attitude is very correct, and he does not think that the coach is young or anything because of his age.

The more Li Ang looks at this veteran, the more he likes it.

In fact, there is also a problem, Leon is habitual, he knows McGur's ability and appreciates him, but McGur doesn't know, for this veteran, Leon is tantamount to reinventing him.

Just as Leon lets him stay in the team, gives him a chance, and even gives him a contract extension, with McGur Pichera's temper, he will definitely be loyal to Leon.

"By the way, don't call me sir, you can call me coach, or call me boss. When Leon said this, he was stunned, and at the age of Macoul Pichra, he called himself the head......

"Yes, sir. McGur Pihra said without hesitation.

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, let's be the leader, a veteran calls himself like this, although it feels a little weird, but it is quite a sense of accomplishment.

"Maigour-Picla!" Leon held out his right hand again, "Welcome home!"

The thirty-five-year-old shook hands with the head coach heavily, and when he heard this, he almost burst into tears.

March 1, 2004, a day that Megul Pihra will never forget.
