Speaking of eating, Hydward had been reading documents on his laptop the whole time, and the boiled water at hand was hot and cold, cold and hot. Chen Xi changed two glasses of water for him and didn't notice it at all, he was still tapping on the keyboard with his fingers, and all the dishes on the table were placed on Chen Xi's side, and he simply ate two bites.

The smile on the corner of Chen Xi's mouth gradually faded, and he was bored and folded his hands to play, wanting to say something, but halfway through his voice, an unknown phone call came in again.

"Hydward, I don't want to beat around the bush, I just want to know one thing, will you count on me?"

The voice is low and somewhat familiar, and it should be a Portsmouth player.

"Pierce, I can't imagine what a team would be like without you, the team's plans couldn't have been implemented without you," Hydward replied.

The Portsmouth vice-captain has not been short of a home this winter, and based on his excellent performances in the FA Cup and the league, he has attracted attention from many other teams, including in the Premier League. As of yesterday, Ward had received no less than five inquiries, but none of them were high, and more hopes were placed on Portsmouth themselves or the player's own wishes.

Pierce all but lost interest in football in 2011, with injuries, endless relegation pressures, and even more so as he saw the already chaotic dressing room striking, but now Edward is the team's manager, and it's only a matter of time.

He needs to hear Ward's plans, he has no intention of leaving, and if he had to choose, Swansea are willing to let the aging Croatians try their skills.

The promise ignited Pierce's passion somewhat, and after the re-exchange, the veteran wanted the club to offer a contract extension as soon as possible, because the original contract was about to expire next year, and he hoped that this would be his last contract, and he would leave after fulfilling it.

"We're going to be busy again," Ward rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily.

Chen Xi finally found a gap and said, "I've eaten." "Maybe he won't notice if he doesn't speak and walks away.

He was in a good mood when he brought him to dinner, but now, his patience was ruined by Hydward's endless work

Dating a girl how can anyone be immersed in their work, maybe they don't have the slightest attraction, should give him and his football, she should really learn how to fall in love with a football coach, Chen Xi thought to herself.

Ward looked up, looked at the not-so-happy girl, and thought for a moment.

One of the job of a manager is to be observant, he can take care of anybody's feelings, understand anybody's thoughts, because that's his job. Some people say that half of the job is made up of helplessness, and the other half is about wanting to go home, and Ward is like that now.

He also wanted to talk like any young couple in the world; Eating and eating, it's just that Edward is carrying the expectations of tens of thousands of people in a city, and he is not allowed to slack off, and the meticulous work during the transfer period directly affects the next performance.

In addition, he doesn't want to act in front of his wife, this is the state of his life, boring; Monotonous and lacking in passion. As much as it might make her angry, he was such a person that he put in front of her unabashedly.

"Go back, I don't like the food."

This place can't stay in this place, Hydward put away his computer, went to carry Chen Xi's backpack, and then carried it on his back. Most of the meals in Chinatowns abroad are to cater to the tastes of the locals, heavy sweet and sour, far less authentic than the club Chef Yang, although only one chopstick has been tasted.

Get back? Where to go?

Chen Xi was dragged away before he could react.

………………

When she reacted for the second time, Hydward took her hand on the fourth floor of an apartment, which was still the same apartment before, an obvious masculine apartment, the room was mainly cold, without the sloppiness of ordinary men who lived alone, the room was clean and tidy, of course, it was mainly the living room, Chen Xi didn't see the appearance of his studio.

Hydward asked Chen Xi to sit down on the sofa, turned around and went back to the room to get two faxes, and sent back a message from Mr. Frank in France, that the club is willing to negotiate the transfer of the player, but part of the ownership of the player will be a little difficult in the hands of his agency, and Ward does not want to cause a fuss in the future for something the size of a sesame seed.

Hydward said, "Wait me for two minutes, and it'll be over soon." ”

Chen Xi didn't realize that she had gone home with him until this moment, and she was a little annoyed, she was extremely abnormal today, as if she started with that kiss.

Ward put the noodles, vegetables, and eggs on the stove to prepare a bowl of noodle soup, and he noticed that Chen Xi hadn't eaten much just now, but he had to wait for him to reply to Frank with the latest documents.

"You seem to have gray hair," Chen Xi noticed through the light a silver white shadow hidden in the fine hair.

"Really?"

Headward, who had returned to his apartment, was visibly more relaxed, answering as he read the text.

Chen Xi said: "I have never had an in-depth understanding of a coach, and most of the content reported in the media is superficial, and it is the part that can arouse the most topics and attract attention. Are all managers like you? She was a little curious about the workaholic.

"Compared to the players, the coach is always considered a supporting role or a behind-the-scenes role in the football world, few people will care about my work, the media often judge the work based on the game situation, transfer operations, daily remarks, but you look at my rapid gray hair, the coach is often under extraordinary pressure, this is a very complex job, many people greatly underestimate the difficulty of the job, and the public generally lacks respect for the coach. Even a good coach like Alex Ferguson will attract criticism, and our image is always black and white, relatively thin. ”

Ward still had the heart to make a joke of himself, and he simply replied to Frank and walked into the kitchen, "Can you eat spicy?" I like to put some chili pepper in the noodles. ”

"Hmm"

Most coaches in this world are supporting roles, believing that tactics ultimately depend on the players, and their job is to make sure the players perform as well as they should. On the other hand, the coach has too many secrets, he knows the team well, and every decision is based on weighing the information he has, such as dropping a player, maybe he is planning for the longer term, but these things are difficult to express. There are too many "can't say" and "can't say" in coaches, maybe one day when you turn back again, you can organize and know this ordinary guy again.

Chen Xi didn't understand much, but she more or less had some of her own understanding and perception, the day she married them, not because of love, but because it was suitable, she could understand the man in front of her in the shortest time.

"Where's the shovel at home? I'll fry you a poached egg" She went into the kitchen to help, only to realize that this was not her apartment, and for a moment she was in a hurry.

"Where's it up there?" He gestured to the cabinet.

The shovel was a little too high for her to reach, and she barely touched it on her toes, so she couldn't take it off. Ward laughed, what a girl who helped more and more, he hugged the girl from behind...
