Chapter 144: Courage

Considering Babbel's current situation, Yumo was not careless, and as soon as the game was over, he made a phone call to the club's president, Kuntz.

The old man has been worried about it lately, even if he doesn't call, he has to take the initiative to come to the door. After settling Babbel and Fanny, and carefully admonishing the accompanying staff, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, some time ago, Kuka took the initiative to expose Youmo's reservation of the Golden Boot, which made the club a little embarrassed.

The support is certain, even if the star table of the house is a little arrogant, the club will only think about the wording, and the attitude will definitely not waver.

It's just that, as a club operator, how can he be the same as a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky?

What if Rehhagel's lineup is affected because of the competition for the Golden Boot, and then further causes conflicts within the team?

What if, because of an injury to the team, it affects the team's season goals?

What if you don't get the Golden Boot in poor condition, and the star becomes the laughing stock of others?

These worries have added a lot of troubles to old Kuntz lately.

It wasn't until after the end of this round that Gerd Müller's comments and subsequent reactions made him feel a lot more relaxed, and by the way, he also learned about some situations that he had previously overlooked.

Setting yourself the Golden Boot is neither a rhetoric to prove your worth, nor a wayward move to show your status in the team.

First, it is to give the guys who have been helped by him a chance to help him achieve his goals. Second, he is setting a higher goal for himself.

In addition to creating the miracle of winning the championship of the Zào promotion horse, it is also necessary to win the miracle of the Golden Boot after 22 rounds, when it is five goals behind!

After three consecutive rounds of scoring, Jumo is currently second with 15 goals ahead of Kirsten, who has 14 goals. His old rival. Elber have also been in good form of late, and with Bayern's resurgence in form, the Brazilian has also used two consecutive goals to lock his tally for 19 league goals in 26 games.

With 8 games to go, it will be difficult to catch up with a gap of 4 goals!

And. Even if Rehhagel promised to work hard for the Golden Boot together, he did not forget about Jì Yumo's ill-prepared pre-season training, as evidenced by the fact that he did not play the full game in the last two games.

In this situation, he can't be distracted by off-the-field things anymore!

After the busyness, Kuntz couldn't wait to call Rehhagel.

In the evening, at the chairman's house.

"In this way, I intend to concentrate the strength of the whole club and try to create an undisturbed environment for him. So that he can have enough energy to devote himself to the game. ”

Kuntz's eyebrows fluttered, and he finished the gesture, looking at each other expectantly.

"Haha, I used to think the same way." Rehhagel looked noncommittal and stopped in the middle of his words.

"Huh?" Kuntz waited for a long time and didn't wait for an answer, so he had to use the trick of pressing the bottom of the box.

"Linda, the sweet wine of Digan Estate, 88 years old!"

Rehhagel was like a prank-up child. Blinked triumphantly, he spoke slowly.

"In your opinion. What do we rely on to achieve what we are looking for, and for everyone to grow at a speed that is visible to the naked eye? ”

Kuntz really couldn't do anything about the guy in front of him, so he had to sigh when he heard this, "This question is too broad, and the typewriter has to work all day." to be able to list the reasons one by one. ”

"Then the scope is narrower, needless to say, the internal causes, but what about the external causes?" Rehhagel smiled and nodded, as if the other party's analogy was very vivid.

"External causes, you say our competitors?" Kuntz took the cup from his wife's hand. The wine was poured, shook it twice, and handed it over, "Their strength is no worse than in previous years, no, strictly speaking, it is stronger than in previous years!" ”

"Haha, that's right, this year's Bundesliga is more competitive than in previous years." Rehhagel was obviously a little impatient, took the cup, sniffed it deeply, and tasted it carefully, "Yes, sweet and smooth, delicate and round, fruity." ”

"I don't understand you!" Kuntz was clearly not on the wine, holding the glass in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the other.

"Plenty of sunshine is a guarantee of grape growth. The same is true for a team, if there are not enough difficult challenges on the way forward, the speed and quality of growth will be significantly reduced. Rehhagel shook the cup in his hand slightly, his gaze distant.

"I understand this truth, the more rapidly growing the team, the more it can't relax the pace of progress, and when a qiē is not stable, it may wake up from a sleep, and it will be different." Kuntz noticed that there was something strange about the other party, slowed down his speech, and raised his glass.

"Yes, for a game, if you can win it by playing step by step, it is easy to breed inertia. In the same way, when the gap is obvious, it is easy to lose, and it is also an act of self-destruction of the embankment. Rehhagel paused and stared at the glass carefully.

The bright red liquid is so close to the color of the jersey that it smells of sunshine and sweat even in the light.

"Well, so it seems that there have been a lot of twists and turns along the way, uh, actually a lot, um, we brought it on ourselves, right?" Kuntz said with a little disbelief.

"yes." Unmoved, Rehhagel took a sip and moistened his throat, and continued: "I'm a professional manager, and it's normal to put obstacles in the way of my guys, even though it's a bit risky to do so in a game. ”

"No, if you don't do this, where can you get today's results!" Kuntz suddenly figured it out and became excited.

Rehhagel raised the cup, touched it lightly, and smiled, "Yes, if you don't dare to take risks, you can only be mediocre." However, I dare to risk a few games at most, and some people dare to gamble on an unattainable goal with their reputation. ”

"The position is different, after all, he is young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, and he completely loses." The glass that Kuntz had put to his lips stopped and smiled.

"If he had thought so, he would have stopped a long time ago." Rehhagel smiled, a look of pride.

Kuntz froze for a moment, unable to believe it, and tentatively spoke, "Could it be that he is really here?" ”

Rehhagel raised his glass and drank it down.

"Of course!"

"Even if everybody thinks it's no big deal to lose, he doesn't think so. He knew what kind of guy he was, and he never thought his talent was anything great. Therefore, he constantly tests himself with difficulties and improves himself with unimaginable requirements of ordinary people. He treats both on and off the field as a real battlefield, constantly looking for the joy of growing up. ”

"Believe me, a guy like that, even if he leaves this team, he will still have something extremely valuable."

"Those guys who have struggled with him for a year or two have benefited inexhaustibly for a lifetime."

"Courage!" (To be continued......)
