Chapter 218: Great Change
『Chapter error, click here to report』
With the coaching staff changing dramatically and the new coach being famously strong-handed, some players in the know naturally know that their good days are coming to an end.
The month-long holiday after the game, which was only less than a third of the way out, was immediately announced to be over, and all the players were urgently recalled.
Fortunately, the team's senior main players basically did not go out, and at their current age, they had to think about the future in advance for the next livelihood. Therefore, some people who want to continue to develop in rugby basically stay in the team and train on their own.
All that left left for them was the last season of performance. It's not impossible to take the chance, perform in this final season, get spotted and enter the draft, and get into the league.
Many scouts focus more on fourth-grade performance and form than on the previous three years. Everyone's physical state changes daily, and only the latest data is worth reference. So for rookie level players like Leonard, Chris, and Isoble, it is even more necessary to perform.
Therefore, those who travel and rest on vacation are actually only first-year students, and there are some veteran players who have no hope for development. McCarthy doesn't really care about these people. Anyway, they don't have them.
"Diana, please clear up those vacant positions and make a list."
McCarthy presented Diana with a problem after watching the game footage and analyzing the data of the players. The team has just finished the wild card game, and although the lineup is not strong, there are basically no vacancies in various positions. The reason why McCarthy would say such things is naturally very dissatisfied with some players.
And, I'm afraid, key players.
"Coach McCarthy, the new team has gone through the run-in of the wild card game, and the players are now more skillful in cooperation. Many of these records and data have lost their timeliness and have no reference value. Let's see, can you review the players through additional assessment criteria? ”
The reason why Diana proposed this is because she doesn't want these players who have worked hard until now to be kicked out of the main squad for no reason.
McCarthy shook his head thoughtfully, he just smiled and replied coldly, "You have an opinion on my decision?" Like in the current team, who is the most central position, the quarterback? That first-grader? Still a player with little to no game experience. First-year student from China. I've watched all the games he's played, the recent wildcard games, including the regular season games, but his performance is definitely not amazing, is it? If that's the kind of guy who leads the team, then it's no wonder we don't lose. I don't understand. Coach Johnson is also a smart man, why would he use such a kid so seriously. If it were me, I would put him in the training squad first, and if he was really capable and talented, in two or three years, I would put him back in the main position. ”
Diana didn't want to clash with McCarthy right now, but she still wanted to fight for Yi Fan. Because Yifan represents not only him, but also many first-year students. After all, there is a vacancy for second-year students, and there is really not much manpower to participate in team building. And in her opinion, Yifan's rapid growth is indeed the best candidate.
"Coach McCarthy, but now the team doesn't have a better quarterback. Although Liu Yifan is young, he has a lot of potential for growth, as long as he is given time, he can definitely become an excellent quarterback. ”
But before Diana could speak, McCarthy interrupted with a straight face: "Coach Diana! Please pay attention to where you stand! Give him time to grow. I'm afraid that before he grows up, we'll be swept away! You don't want to think about why Coach Johnson was fired! It's not because of his growth that the school can't give us so much time. This season, we had to produce results. So, no matter what potential he has, what space he has, it's useless, just go to the training squad first, or stay on the bench. ”
After leaving the instruction room, Diana didn't say a word, and when she returned to her dorm, she immediately smashed the beer in her room like a madman. However, after venting, Diana, who calmed down, immediately called Johnson. She vaguely felt in her heart that although McCarthy was verbally for the team and to help the school win, in private, it didn't seem to be the case. It is said that a woman's sixth sense is very effective, so she feels that her feelings should be correct.
After receiving Diana's call, Johnson sighed slightly. Now he is no longer the coach of the team, and the Wolverines have nothing to do with him whether they lose or win. In the past few days after being fired, he has been staying at home to calm and relax, and the long-term pressure has made him forget himself a little, and after losing his job, it is a chance to find himself again.
"Diana, I don't have the authority to manage the team's affairs now, and I can't give you a good opinion. As McCarthy said, the team is in a terrible situation right now, and the school can't wait to come up with results for some reason, and if it doesn't, it's estimated that everyone will be doomed. As for what you're talking about, McCarthy's purpose, I'm not sure, but here are some reports that might be enough to clear your mind. ”
Johnson sent an email to Diana and said, "These reports were deleted online early in the morning. I only found out about it through some old friends. But it's been more than two years. The current McCarthy may simply want to regain his glory. You are the assistant coach of the team. I'll leave these judgments to you. ”
Johnson hung up silently, and now he has nothing to do. If there is one, it may be to help his former team members solve the confusion in their hearts in some moments in the future.
The next day, Diana ordered everyone to be called back. Although Matthews did not travel very far, he did not run very far, so he rushed back quickly. After learning about the changes in the team, he was clouded with a very bad premonition. So he immediately called Yifan, who was far away in Los Angeles, and asked him to come back quickly. He had a feeling that whether it was him or Yi Fan,
