Chapter 16: The Old Man and the Letter
Thirty laps of jogging around the field warmed up, almost squeezing the sweat of the players.
"Alright, come and meet me, quick!" Coach Corboni gives instructions.
The formation of the players had long since dispersed, and they followed the sparring partner to Coach Corboni and formed a large circle. Kirbyne wiped the sweat off his face with the corner of his clothes and drank ice water to replenish his hydration. The squirrel Van Khakitt stepped forward and teased: "If you want to faint, sue me, I'll dodge in time." ”
Kabine just slapped the squirrel on the shoulder, but didn't respond. Coach Corboni saw that the players had enough to drink, so he told everyone to gather closer and prepare to arrange the next training arrangement.
Coach Koboni said: "Everyone was divided into two groups, one group for basic intensive training, one group for six-on-six actual training, and after an hour, they exchanged training methods. The assistant coach will arrange the grouping, and it will start in five minutes, so take a break. ”
Kabine and captain Fiske were put into six-on-six training, and Fiske stepped forward and told Kabine to take it seriously, but not to go overboard. Of course, Kabine understands that training is just about strengthening technique, hardening physical fitness and sharpening team coordination. The real battlefield is in the game, and with the fact that he has just recovered from his injury, it is impossible for Carbine to take training in stride.
Six-on-six training is much easier than a real game, with teammates barely rolling and sliding, just close to the tight press, pulling arm to arm. And Kabine's old injury has just healed, so that his teammates are all [loved] him, and Kabine gradually immersed himself in the team's group, and he is so handy, and the six-on-six actual combat training is full of sweat and laughter.
"~~~Beep~~~" Coach Coboni whistled and shouted: "It's time, exchange training." ”
During the change, the squirrel asked Kabine: "Look at your face, there is a lot of sweat." How? Can't do it anymore? Hehe. ”
Kabine smiled and replied: "I sweat a lot because I sold my strength, stupid!" ”
The squirrel said, "The goalkeeper sweats very little, is it because he doesn't work hard?" A sucker! ”
Kabine and the squirrel laughed, two fools giggling together.
Any player should respect basic intensive training. Passing, receiving, moving, shooting, speed, strength, and even group coordination in the game all rely on basic intensive training to strengthen and run-in. Although the effort is not too big, the grinding of these small details is what a game needs most.
Noon is near,
Strict training is the end,
It's time to eat, drink, and talk again.
A piercing whistle to save the players broke through the air, "~~~Beep~~~" Coach Koboni ended today's training.
With their drenched hair over, their teammates took off their drenched jerseys and rushed into the dressing room to take a refreshing shower before heading to the training base's dining room to eat. In this regard, Kabine was not in a hurry, and left the training ground with small steps. Coach Corboni went up to him and said, "Well, that's good! Keep up the good work! With that, he walked away.
Is this encouragement or praise? Kabine was not interested in judging, he just said to the old man with his actions: Coach, I can finish your training.
After a hearty bath, Carbine went to the dining room, where his teammates such as Squirrel and Fiske were already doing it with their left hand and right hand. Look! Today's meal in the dining room was very much to Cabine's taste, and he took a large plate and sandwiched the food, and filled a large plate.
As soon as Kabine sat down next to the squirrel, there was a clanging sound of high heels hitting the ground behind him, getting closer and closer. Several people turned their heads to see that it was Miss Tees, the head of youth player management. She's either coming to the dining room for lunch, or she's looking for people, looking for young players.
Miss Tise came up to Cabine and said, "Hello, Kabine. Today we received a letter from the training base, I believe it was sent to you by a fan. With that, he handed the letter to Kabine.
Kirbyne looked dumbfounded and said, "Ah~~~? Fans? ”
Miss Teese said, "Yes, the envelope is clearly written, and the addressee is indeed you. ”
The squirrel next to him coaxed: "Yo! Kabine, it's only been a few days since a female fan wrote to you. I've been here for four years and haven't heard from a female fan, you're so attractive. Ha~~! With Fisk, Rovman sneered.
Miss Tess laughed too, and she looked at Carbinay and said, "Yes, it's your letter, take it." Suspiciously, Kabine accepted the letter, thanked Miss Tees, and put it in his trouser pocket.
When Captain Fisk saw it, he said, "Boy, don't you plan to open it and take a look?" It could be a courtship letter from a female fan. ”
The squirrel added: "Yes, open it and see, it must be a courtship letter." ”
The two and Rovman tilted their heads and laughed, and the three captains made Kabine cry and laugh.
Miss Tise didn't go far, and when she saw this, she stopped and said to Carbine: "Carbine, if there are senior players in the first team who bully you, you can react with me. Remember that I am the head of youth player management. ”
Miss Tis apparently didn't understand the relationship between Carbine and Squirrel, and Carbine hurriedly explained, "Oh! It's okay, they're kidding. With that, she smiled, and Miss Tess turned to leave.
Then he turned to the squirrels and said, "You don't want to know the contents of the letter, I won't make it public." ”
Fisk said, "Don't show it to us, you won't stick the letter on the wall as a memento when you get home, will you?" ”
The squirrel said, "No, it should be framed with a wooden frame." ”
Of course, Kabine is not angry, and the innocent banter of his teammates is the best medicine to integrate into the team.
After lunch, Coach Corboni officially signaled that the training was over and that the players could go home tomorrow. Although Kabine has a driver's license, he has not yet purchased a car as a substitute. The squirrel said that he would take him home, said goodbye to his teammates and got into the squirrel's car, a top-of-the-line sports car worth a lot of money.
It would have taken twenty minutes to drive, but the squirrel drove him home in ten minutes. Kabine jumped out of the car, thanked him, and turned to leave. The squirrel behind him shouted again: "Hey, boy, after reading the letter, I will reply to the people." If you don't like others, don't waste everyone's time. He laughed.
Kabine turned around and shouted, "you! ”
Back in the empty home, Kirbine pulls the letter out of his trouser pocket. The white envelope and the font that have washed the marks of the years are obviously not letters from so-called female fans.
Carbine took a drink from the fridge, sat down on the couch, carefully tore open the letter, stretched open the letter, and read:
[Hello Kabine, who has the name of a football superstar! Remember me? The old man you talked to on the plane when you first came to Spain. Remember? Has the injury healed? Actually, the purpose of this letter is to apologize for my offense, because to be honest, when you told me that I was in a hurry to sign for the Granada team, I had a slight suspicion and thought that you were lying. Maybe you remember that I was a big fan of Valencia, so the other day when I was watching the live broadcast of Granada against Valencia, I found you in the second half wearing a shirt for Granada. At that moment, I realized that my suspicions were wrong, very wrong, and I shouldn't have doubted you, young man. So I ask you to forgive me for my foolishness.
The second is that I want to say that I rewatched the controversial decision before the end a dozen times, and although Valencia is my favorite team, I still firmly believe that you didn't fake a fall, it was indeed a penalty, a penalty for Granada. So for the referee's misjudgment, I'm on your side.
Finally, I would like to say, young man, although I have only seen your 45-minute watch, you are indeed a very good player, as long as you persist and work hard, you will definitely usher in your own era, do a good job!
Also, the next time Granada plays Valencia, don't worry! Of course, I will continue to support the love team Valencia! Ha!
I wish you never to be sick! Shine on the game!
Old man on the plane]
There is only a mailing address, no reply address, and no name or date. Kabine's affection is relieved in the front, and doubts in the back. Of course he remembered the old man, his smile, his humor and the encouragement he gave him when he said goodbye at the airport.
Kirbine pinched the letter for a long, long time. He took a sip of his drink, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the contents of the letter again, and at this time his heart was only depressed. He wanted to reply to the old man, but he didn't know where to send it. The disturbance of this incident made Kirbyne feel even more helpless in the empty room, and he settled down to think about it, and finally decided to call Mr. Haas.
Mr. Haas, after hearing the whole thing on the other end of the phone, said, "That's easy! But you'll have to wait for me. After saying that, he hung up without waiting for a response from Kabine. Kabine stared at the earpiece of the phone, feeling inexplicable.
Within ten minutes, Mr. Haas called back and said to Carbine, "That's done, don't worry." Miss Tess will call you in a moment to discuss some details. ”
Miss Teath! Beautiful Miss Tess again!
As soon as Mr. Haas had finished his explanation, he hung up, and Carbine had no choice but to obey Mr. Haas's arrangement and wait quietly for Miss Tess's call.
It didn't take long for the phone to play a pleasant love song ringtone, and Kirbine answered it.
"Hey, hello Kirbine, I'm Miss Tess."
"Hello, Miss Tess, believe you already know my situation, right?"
"Yes, it has been understood. Your agent, Mr. Haas, spoke in great detail. ”
"Can that help me? I really wanted to write back to the old man, but I didn't have a name or address. ”
"In fact, there is no need to insist on sending back letters to inform the elderly."
"And what's the other way?"
"There are two kinds: one is to arrange for the local football newspaper to do a short interview for you, and you can relay what you are going to say to the old man through the guò media. The second is that you can take the initiative to ask for a post-match interview after the next competition, so that what you say may be visible to the old man. Which method do you choose? ”
Miss Tess's idea goes straight to the point, and her voice is really gentle and sweet.
Carbine pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that the old man had said that he would read football newspapers every day. Yes, that's it!
