There was silence in the office, and the atmosphere was silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Riquelme sat in his chair, his eyes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking; Fan Bizhuang stood like a sculpture, staring at the head coach without blinking; And Pellegrini also looked back with a complicated expression, but remained silent.

Everyone has their own thoughts, everyone has their own thoughts, maybe they are thinking about what words to use to break the awkward silence, maybe they are thinking about the wording, how to ask, how to answer, and what attitude to face when the facts are present......

The eerie silence was finally broken, and it was Riquelme who spoke first.

As the old man of the team, the former core of the team, Riquelme naturally has the right to talk to the manager, for him, the division and integration of things have seen a lot, the coming and going of the football world is often a common thing, everyone has their own pursuits, the players are like this, and the coach is naturally like this.

Everyone has the right to choose their own future, and that's understandable, and while the fact that Pellegrini is likely to be gone, he also feels lost, but it's not unacceptable, and in the end, it's commonplace, and although he's disappointed, there's no hatred or betrayal - and most importantly, he's going to leave Villarreal at the end of the season, so Pellegrini's departure doesn't have much impact on him, he regrets such a warm family, If Manuel Pellegrini does leave, then there will be no return.

But Riquelme really didn't know what to say, so he picked up the teapot on the desk, poured a cup for the head coach and Fan Bizhuang, and then said as if to relieve the embarrassment: "Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea first?" ”

Tea smoke curled, wisps of fragrance wafted in the room, but the two people who looked at each other didn't care at all, still looking at each other.

“……”

Riquelme smiled awkwardly, did not speak, and poured himself another cup of tea and tasted the tea in the cup.

Although he was not interested in the tea on the table, Riquelme's speech broke the silence and relieved the strange atmosphere in the room, Fan Bizhuang looked at the extremely respected teacher, his expression was calm, and his voice sounded indifferently and without warning.

"Sir, is what the newspaper says true?"

Seeing the brows on Pellegrini's head tangled together and the appearance of wanting to speak, Fan Bizhuang added in a faint voice, "I want to get an answer, sir." ”

A heavy sigh rang out, and Pellegrini looked at Van Bizhuang and finally nodded.

"It's not certain, but Mr. Perez did have a verbal agreement with me that if he wins the Real Madrid general election, he will send me an invitation. The newspapers are right, and most likely, at the end of the season, I will leave Villarreal. ”

Although he had already guessed in his heart that this was the result, but the exact answer really came out of Pellegrini's mouth at this moment, Van Bizhuang still had a feeling of a bolt from the blue, he wanted to go all the way to the end with Villarreal, he wanted to serve his life under the command of the old coach of Chile, but now ...... He still chose to stay here, but the most important person was to choose to leave, he suddenly felt that there was an inseparable thing in his life, leaving him, that heavy sense of loss, so that his heart seemed to be firmly suppressed by some heavy object, and he was about to lose his breath.

But Fan Bizhuang still didn't say anything, he once again took a deep look at the old handsome man he respected the most, lowered his head, and let his lonely eyes not be seen by others.

"Fan ......"

Pellegrini opened his mouth in guilt and worry, trying to say something, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything. At this time, his heart was also full of bitterness, on the one hand, he was his favorite disciple, and he worked hard to build a team built by himself, on the other hand, he was the pursuit of dreams and honors, although he chose the latter, but the hurdle in his heart still made him feel ashamed of being a "betrayer".

Riquelme continued to raise his glass to the tea, and when Pellegrini said the final answer, his movements paused imperceptibly, and then continued to drink tea, only behind the cup, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Fan Bizhuang, although the teenager in front of him has now grown into the core player of Villarreal, and he is also shining on the field, but he is still very young after all, and his experience and experience are still extremely shallow in the long road of life. He is well aware of Fan Bizhuang's strong feelings for the club and the head coach, and he is worried that such a blow will make Fan Bizhuang have a violent sense of loss and collapse.

When he wanted to say something, he saw that Fan Bizhuang had already raised his head.

He still underestimated Fan Bizhuang's psychological quality, and his childhood experience had already made Fan Bizhuang see through the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the suffering experience, which made his mind extremely tenacious and strong.

Even if it is uncomfortable, even if it is lost, even if it is painful, he will still face it calmly.

There was no anger, no questioning, no yelling, Fan Bizhuang's expression was still the same as usual, calm and indifferent.

"I'm sorry, Fan, I know that such a decision is probably unacceptable to you and to the team, but I ......"

Before Pellegrini could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Van Bizhuang.

"I understand your choice, sir, everyone has the right to chase their dreams and what they want, I have nothing to say about that, although I can't accept it, but if this is what you want, then I will bless you."

Fan Bizhuang said lightly, there was still a look of respect in his eyes, but there seemed to be something missing, Pellegrini couldn't tell what kind of thing it was, he only knew that his heart was very uncomfortable at the moment, and he was panicked.

"No matter what the future holds, no matter what happens, no matter what others say, think, or talk about, in my heart, you are still my most respected coach. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to stay here, and thank you for trusting me so much to get me to where I am today. ”

"You asked me before if I would leave the town in the future? I told you my answer at the time, but I still want to say it again, and if I can, I want to stay here. This is the strongest desire in my heart. ”

Van Bizhuang showed Pellegrini his attitude, without anger and accusations, but his promise to "stick to the love song field" sounded to Pellegrini the greatest irony and ridicule - the disciples he brought out single-handedly chose to be loyal to the team under his tutelage, while he himself became a deserter.

What could be more ironic than that?

For the first time in his life, Manuel Pellegrini bowed his head under the gaze of a player, while Van Bizhuang left a message of "Good luck!" After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Don't take it personally, Mr. Manuel, Fan just can't accept such a thing for a while, he is still young, and he will understand that in the world of football, there is no feast that will never be parted. He'll understand. ”

Riquelme comforted the lost and guilty Pellegrini as he stood up and was about to leave, when Pellegrini suddenly stopped him.

"Roman, did you think I did something wrong?"

"Where in this world is there right and wrong. It's just a matter of following your own heart. Sir, you have talent, you have the ability, you should go to a stronger team to show everything you have, the stage of Villarreal is too small after all. Riquelme looked in the direction of the empty door, "Van will have this day too." Because he is still young, he doesn't know that his stage does not belong here. ”

"Thank you."

Pellegrini hung his head and waved his hand, lost in thought. Riquelme didn't bother anymore, turned to leave, and by the way closed the door, and the office fell into silence again.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound in the silent office again, and the sound of "buzz~" sounded, and it was the phone on the desk that vibrate.

Pellegrini hesitated, picked up his phone, and clicked on the latest text message he received.

His eyes lit up, it was Fan Bizhuang's mobile phone number.

"I really don't blame you, sir. I still can't let go of it, but I can understand that you're a good manager, one of the best coaches I've ever met, so you have the right to pursue everything you want to pursue, and you've done enough for this team, for this city, and enough for it. ”

"I wish you all the best. I'm going to stay here, you've been here for five years, I don't know how long you'll be here, but when you're gone, I think I'll be here and we'll be here for our shared home. ”

"So, I want to ask you for one thing...... Can you do one more meaningful thing for our home? ”

Pellegrini was stunned for a moment, a smile that didn't know whether to be relieved or relieved gradually appeared on his face, and the room fell silent again, and Pellegrini had already made a decision in his heart.

What about the infamy on your back and the unbearable image of backsliding?

Now, he just wants to do the last thing he can for the team he once loved.

"I've never said I'd leave town!"

"Yes, I don't know why the speculation came to me, but I have to make it clear that the meeting with Mr. Perez was two weeks ago, and it was just a very ordinary meeting between friends."

"So, I want to say firmly that I will stay here, stay in the town, was, am and will be! I'm the manager of Villarreal, I love this team and I'm not going anywhere! ”

The next day, Pellegrini held a press conference to refute and clarify the scandals that had entangled him during this time, and he firmly stated at the press conference that he loves the city, loves his team and his players, and his dream is to stay here and lead his team forward!

As if to make his public statements more convincing, Pellegrini's contract renewal talks with the club's hierarchy have also made new progress, and if nothing else, he will soon sign his name on a new three-year contract.
