Chapter 200: The Boss Who Loves You the Most
I laughed enough with my favorite head coach and teammates, and I was really angry with my long and short legs! He angrily recited the phrase "Your dribbling is better than everyone else" many times in his heart, and finally returned to his room in the hotel. This time, Inter Milan, the team that belongs to the stadium of this season's Champions League final, has prepared a hotel room for one person. This allows the players to be interrupted to the slightest in the days leading up to the game. Of course, it can also prevent players who have the same room from sleeping late at night and chatting.
Almost as soon as he opened the door, Ray saw the Botafogo No. 11 jersey lying in the open suitcase. Almost just a glance, the long and short legs forgot that they had just been muttering words in the hallway for a long time. The moment the Botafogo shirt came into his sight, there was only that shirt in his eyes.
It was the most precious gift that Mr. Bailey had ever given him.
It was also the shirt worn by Brazilian Garrincha, the first dribbling demon in history.
Lei Yi first picked up the jersey and put it on the big bed in his room. Then he squatted there and pulled out the No. 11 jersey of the Blue Eagles that he was wearing from his suitcase.
Both jerseys have the words "garrincha" printed on the back along with the same number 11.
Long and short legs put the two jerseys together on his big bed, and then jumped on this big bed again, lay down, his hands pillowed under his head, and his legs were on the other, after lying like this, he turned his head to look at the two jerseys lying together, and his heart was like eating popping candy, sweet, and with a kind of excited beating.
This was two days before the final night of the Champions League.
As soon as he thought that he was likely to help his team win a trophy that symbolized the best team in Europe, and stood on the podium wearing the number 11 jersey with the name "garrincha" on the back, Lei Yi's heart felt excited and sweet.
He would have liked to recall what his manager, Mr. Pablo, had told them at the tactical meeting, but his head couldn't remember that much. The long and short legs lying on the bed suddenly turned over and hugged all the two jerseys! Then, feeling a little embarrassed about the childish appearance he was now, he sat up again, just looking at the two jerseys in the soft light of the floor lamp, and then putting them in order.
Early the next morning, Lei Yi, who had long been accustomed to getting up early to train, woke up automatically at five o'clock in the morning! After turning over on the bed a few times, the long and short legs got up, and the eyes began to think in a complete daze, what kind of training can be done in the hotel, in your own room?
You know, they're in Milan now as part of the Champions League finals, but they can't just go to the training ground as they wanted when they did in Rome. They had to wait until the allotted time before the whole team could get on the bus and go to the stadium arranged for them by UEFA for a very intensive pre-match training session.
So I thought about it and thought about it, thinking that he could warm up in this big room first, and then do exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups, and by the way, also practice leg strength! When you have time, just play with the ball! Who said that after waking up in the morning, you can only train seriously!
After thinking about it like this, Lei Yi, who has super mobility, went to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then started his indoor training! What Lei Yi didn't expect was that he would welcome his first visitor at six o'clock in the morning.
Since Lei Yi had turned on Do Not Disturb mode in his room, the person outside the door could only knock on his door in the most primitive way. At that time, Long and Short Legs were running barefoot from one end of his room to the other.
When he heard the knock on the door, Lei Yi pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but the good soundproofing of the room always made him feel as if he was hallucinating. Just as Lei Yi was listening, listening, his mobile phone rang, "The coach is here!" Exclusive ringtones! The long and short legs froze instantly, and flew to the big bed to pick up the phone, and then Mr. Pablo said to him:
"Stinky boy, come out and open the door."
"Ahh
The frightened long and short legs immediately rushed to the door, unlocked all the doors, and saw his own coach with two baskets with square scarves at his feet.
"First first first sir!" Long and short legs feel like he has some stuttering all of a sudden!
And the coach who wanted to surprise the other party but knocked on the door for a long time and no one paid attention to him, said with an unhappy face: "Why don't you bring the basket in?" β
"Oooo In many cases, when the long and short legs who are often slow to react and hear the words of their own coach, they don't think about what is in the basket, and how his coach can run to the door of his room with two baskets early in the morning, but as soon as he mentions the two heavy baskets and walks in, he feels that he smells so fragrant!
"It's ...... Bacon? β
"It's breakfast." Pablo felt that he was too lazy to pay attention to this stinky boy, but he still reached out and pushed the other party's back: "The hotel's restaurant doesn't serve breakfast until eight o'clock in the morning, but they seem to have staff to prepare long in advance." I went and asked them, I'm the manager of the Lazio team, I have players who are used to getting up at 5 a.m. to train, can you prepare two breakfasts for us? Then the kitchen agreed. β
After saying this, Pablo looked at his beloved general and hooked the corners of his mouth with a manly look. This can make long and short legs happy! If it weren't for the two baskets in his hands, he would have jumped up and hugged his coach's neck and kissed him fiercely!
"You are so good to me, sir!"
"Why don't you go to the balcony and set up breakfast?"
"Just go!!"
At this moment, long and short legs actually feel that it is really a happy thing to be sent by others! The little boy with the basket went to the balcony and brought out the same breakfast that Mr. Marshal had brought him.
It contains pan-fried bacon, scrambled eggs mixed with diced vegetables, bacon drizzled with olive oil, freshly baked croissants, and sliced baguettes that reveal their pliable linings. Of course, chopped fresh bell peppers and tomatoes are also essential. The long and short legs who carried things out in the same way found butter in small packages of salted and unsalted pieces, as well as yellow peach, raspberry, and blueberry jam!
"The other basket was filled with drinks, and I didn't know what you liked to drink in the morning, so they gave me a little coffee, juice, milk, and tea. Oh, and their homemade french panna cotta, the one that comes in a glass yogurt bottle with their homemade jam on top. β
Seeing the words "I'm so happy!" was clearly written on his face! Blue Eagle's coach Pablo finally felt better, so Lei Yi also turned his head and showed a stupid smile to Mr. Coach, and he was rushed to take a shower and then come to breakfast!
I washed my long and short legs all the way to the balcony and sat down, and then I heard the Argentine coach sitting opposite say: "I haven't had time to congratulate you, Leiy." I heard from the team doctor that when I gave you a physical test last month, I found that the difference in length between your left and right legs was already six centimeters. β
Listening to this, the long and short legs smeared a piece of butter on the first piece of bread cut by the baguette he picked up, and then smiled happily and nodded with a little shyness, and said, "Thank you! I was in a hurry! You know, I'm almost 21 years old, and the team doctor told me months ago that I won't be going to grow any taller anymore, so the difference between my legs has always been a little bit short of six centimeters, and I'm in a hurry. β
"Relieved now?" Putting a piece of fried bacon in his mouth and chewing it, letting the salty taste spread between his teeth and cheeks, Pablo looked at the winger with some amusement.
"Rest assured!"
βleiyγβ Pablo, who lowered his head to cut the bacon, hooked the corners of his mouth, and before Lei Yi was ready, he said a compliment that was difficult to hear from him on weekdays: "What I said at the tactical meeting yesterday was all a lie to you. Of course, you won't just dribble better than everyone else. β
Lei Yi: "Huh? β
Pablo: "You and your friend Tigos are two completely different players. Although you are both wingers, there is nothing similar in your football philosophy. You are the best interpreter of samba football in Europe. Your foot skills have been beyond ordinary people since the day I met you, and what is even more terrifying is that you still have excellent marksmanship. You don't need to be so obsessed with falling balls, in fact your current shooting skills are enough to make you a great free-kick taker. β
In fact, Thunder Wing has always had a lovely place. That is, although he is arrogant, he blushes shy whenever he hears people close to him praise him from the bottom of his heart.
One can imagine how Pablo would have blushed after being stunned and ate his buttered baguette as he sat face to face on the balcony enjoying breakfast at six o'clock in the morning.
But Pablo's words did not stop, and he continued: "Leiy, have I ever told you that I feel happy to be able to coach a player like you? β
"Okay, it doesn't seem to be ......" Maybe it was because he was too shocked, and the long and short legs gave a simple and rough answer that made him want to bite his tongue.
But this time, after tricking the long and short legs into Lazio, he did a series of things to refresh the world view of the long and short legs, and after adding a special friend to Lei Yi, he not only did not cancel himself, but also intimidated him, and Pablo, who was watching where he was anytime and anywhere, did not have a hot temper, and scared the long and short legs as soon as he came up, but smiled and then let the relaxed atmosphere between them continue, saying:
"I've been coaching Lazio for almost five years. But my relationship with Lazio is not only in the past five years. Lazio was the last European team I played for before returning to Argentina. I've played for Lazio for many years and at the Blue Eagles I have a lot of great memories. I didn't get to hang up my boots at Lazio, but the team's bravery and the spirit of not being afraid of adversity have inspired me for many years. A player your age won't know how lucky it is to be able to coach the team you love when you retire. You have to know that every team that needs to play on multiple fronts has more than 20 players, but there is only one coach, and the player's career is much shorter than the coach's. Watching this team, which could only be considered a team in the upper echelons of Serie A before I took over, step by step, I can feel that sweet torture every day. β
Seeing the doubt in Lei Yi's eyes, Barbro paused, and then said, "Leiy, a coach will carry more pressure on his body than all the players combined. If the team wins, it's a credit to the players along with the coach. But if you lose, at least in my opinion, the responsibility of the coach must be greater than that of the players. Before I took charge of Lazio, it had been a long, long time since this team had achieved such a great result. All the fans look at me with that look of longing when I show up. I can read what each of them wants to say to me: please continue to win with Lazio, Pablo! My sense of responsibility as a Lazio manager reminds me every day that I must not let up for a moment, that I must be focused at all times, that I need to be aware of the small problems that may arise in each of you, and that I also have to know our opponents well and develop tactics to beat each of them. Doing so doesn't necessarily keep the Blue Eagles unbeaten. But I know that if I don't, I won't be able to lead you to the top. β
As he spoke, Pablo glanced at Lei Yi with the kind of eyes that admired and liked him so much that he didn't know how to treat the favorite player in front of him, and then said with a smile: "From the first day I came to Lazio as a manager, I was thinking about bringing this team to the podium of the European Champions Cup. But I really didn't expect to get a chance so close to it so soon. Leiy, I believe it was your arrival that added to the process. β
When Pablo said this biggest killer, Lei Yi was already blushing and didn't know what to do! He wanted to cover his face! But under the other party's gaze that seems to be substantial, he doesn't even know how to move! Until, he heard the next words that Pablo said.
"Garrincha before you is already too far away from us, but you are now sitting face to face with me right in front of my eyes. I was touched when I saw you proudly standing on the pitch for the first time after hearing about you, conquering everyone who saw you with an amazing skill that was better than any player in the world. Maybe you'll never understand how I felt. Because you've always been so proud of your legs. β
Just when Pablo thought Thunder Wing would blush and smile at him again, he heard Thunder Wing say to him:
"Nope. I can understand. Because I've been touched like that. β
The author has something to say: today "Extreme Fanaticism" officially broke through the 200 chapter mark!
I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to write the next 100 chapters of this article, but I thought I wouldn't.
From today, I will work hard to explode the word count in the next week.
And, the countdown to the start of Thunderwing's second World Cup!
