Manchester City's training base, the manager's office, Wan Sheng sat in a chair and thought.

Morris stood in front of Wan Sheng.

Although he was the same age as Wan Sheng, under those forced eyes, Morris was a little cowardly, he didn't know what the coach was going to do, and he lowered his head unconsciously.

The office was quiet for a long time, and the atmosphere was somewhat solidified.

Morris felt that every minute and every second passed slowly, and he didn't know how long it was, Wan Sheng finally spoke, "Lee, do you remember a few years ago?" Was it when Mr. Gregory was the head coach and I was just an assistant coach on the team? ”

Hearing the voice, Morris breathed a sigh of relief, the solemn atmosphere just now really made him a little unbearable, he nodded and said, "Remember", and then looked at Wan Sheng for some reason.

Wan Sheng stood up, continued to look at Morris, and recalled, "I remember at that time, I was just an assistant coach, and the team didn't have any famous stars, you were very good, but you were only the main player of the second-tier team. ”

Morris nodded in response, his face a little confused.

Wan Sheng continued, "I remember that Mr. Gregory had a heart attack on the field and could not continue as head coach, and then I took over the team, when I had no fame, no authority in the team, and you were still a regular player in a second-tier team, and your salary was less than Ivan pounds. ”

Morris still didn't quite understand what Wan Sheng was going to say, and at this moment, Wan Sheng asked, "What was it like for you to play football at that time, and did you think about what to do after retiring?" ”

Morris thought about it and shook his head, "I didn't think about it at the time, I just wanted to play well." ”

Wan Sheng nodded and continued, "I remember when I first went to Derby County, you were injured not long after, what was it like to be back on the playing field?" Or will there be such a ...... Afraid of getting hurt? ”

"No, it won't."

Morris said with certainty.

But then he thought about it and said, "I remember the ...... I didn't think much of it at the time. ”

"Why?"

"Because ......," Morris thought, "maybe it's because I don't have a choice?" You can only go and play football. I don't play football and I don't know what to do, I need to live, I have a wife and children......"

"You need to fight, right? It's the same as anyone else who does a normal job. ”

Morris nodded, "Yes." ”

"So why are you worried now? Is it because you have a big contract, a guarantee, and a fame? Morris was about to refute something, Wan Sheng continued, "Yes, in my opinion, that's it, you think your body is more important than playing well, anyway, you already have a big contract, your income has increased a lot, and your fame is also there, even if you retire now, you don't have to worry about work, maybe many small teams will invite you to coach?" There are many other job opportunities, such as being a presenter, a journalist, a football commentator? Yes, many football-related companies will not refuse a job for a key member of the England national team, am I right? ”

Wan Sheng's words were like needles piercing Morris's heart, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it, because that's what he thought in his heart.

This best explains why he is worried about injury.

So Morris lowered his head again, he felt a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

Wan Sheng sighed and said, "Li, I think you became famous too quickly. ”

"What?"

Maurice was a little puzzled, and he looked up in confusion.

Wan Sheng said, "I dare say that you are already one of the top football players in the world, no worse than anyone else. Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka are hard to compare with you......"

Hearing Wansheng's praise, Morris felt a little proud, but he still didn't understand what the coach was going to say.

Wan Sheng stared into his eyes and continued, "But your fame is too fast, three or four years, you were only a main player in the second league before, but now you are the top player in the world, everything about you is too fast, maybe too simple, your mentality has not been adjusted." ”

"Yes, mentality. It's like Gerrard, it's like Barak, you should know about them, right? ”

Seeing Morris nodding, Wan Sheng continued, "Gerrard is very similar to Ballack, one wants to win the league championship, but the team is not capable of winning the championship, so there are frequent news that he is leaving the team, and the other has left the team because he needs to pursue higher honors. ”

"The two of them are already the best players in the world, maybe they've been famous for many years, but they're still chasing glory, but what about you? Plum? Are you just 30 years old and planning to retire? Afraid of getting hurt? ”

"Haha, if a professional player is afraid of injury, what else do you play!"

Wan Sheng said and slammed the table.

There was a loud "bang", and the town's Morris shuddered.

"You have a big contract, a high income, you are the main player of the England national team, and you have won one honor after another in the past few years, but you think you have nothing to pursue?"

"Nope! You're too much short, too much! ”

Wan Sheng said loudly with some hatred, "You still have a lot of things you haven't won, such as the Golden Ball, which represents the highest honor for professional football, Shepchenko has won, Ronaldinho has won, and you, Morris, I think you have surpassed them, why haven't you won it?" ”

"There are other personal honors that you don't have!"

"You haven't won the Champions League, Ballack went to Chelsea for this title, a top player without this honor, it is a huge regret!"

"You're afraid of getting hurt now, and in a few years, you're not afraid of getting hurt, what else can you do? Watching someone else win a prize? ”

After Wan Sheng vented loudly, his face was a little hideous, and after a while, he calmed down and said seriously, "Li, you are the best, if this season, we can win the Champions League, I hope you can get the highest trophy representing personal honor, do you understand what I mean?" ”

――――

When he left the office and returned to the training ground, Morris was still a little dazed, and his mind kept thinking about what Wan Sheng said to him.

Golden Globes?

World Footballer of the Year?

He hadn't thought about it before, he just thought he was going to play for a couple of seasons and then retire and then get a stable job, coaching or other jobs, but that's a long way off, at least he's doing well now.

But after Wan Shengyi's reminder, he suddenly realized that he was really 'unambitious', he just got a big contract that he couldn't think of a few years ago, and just entered the England team, he felt that he had reached the top.

Now that he thinks about it, he feels that with his own strength, he really has a hope of winning the Ballon d'Or.

That's the highest honour for European professional footballers!

If you can win the Golden Globe Award in your career, maybe you won't regret anything for the rest of your life, right? He has a chance now, Manchester City are the best team in Europe, even ...... There is no one, and he is the best player in Manchester City.

If this season, the team can achieve the goal of the coach, that is, to win the league championship, the Champions League, and the two domestic cup championships, it is equivalent to creating a glorious era, then as the best player in the team, is it normal to win the Ballon d'Or?

If you have the chance, why not go for it?

More than ten years or decades later, in retrospect, this must be something to be proud of, and then my career can go further, compared to what is 'injury'?

Morris figured it out.

If you want to fully recover your form, it is certainly not enough to figure it out, and it will take some time to adapt, but after returning to the training ground, his performance has obviously improved a lot, at least in the training match, when he is closely watched, he is not cowardly.

Seeing Morris slowly recovering, Wan Sheng also let go of his worries and smiled easily.

He has a good personal relationship with Morris, and Morris is also a player he focuses on developing, and he has spent a lot of thought on Morris's growth, but he doesn't want to see such a top player suffer his performance on the court because of the ridiculous 'fear of injury'.

――――

On March 22, the 31st round of the Premier League began, and Manchester City challenged Bolton Wanderers away.

Before the game, the media were analysing Manchester City's state and believed that there would be no suspense in the game, because with the return of Kopele Ferreira, Mesut Ozil and others to the field, Morris returned from injury, Manchester City's squad has been re-equipped, even if it is an away game, it is not difficult for them to win against Bolton.

Most of the pre-game voices were about Morris, and many media were still worried about Morris's state, because Morris's performance in the last game was not very good.

But in this game, Morris's performance was significantly better.

Although Morris did not score or assist until the end, Manchester City's two goals were related to him, and he also drove the overall rhythm of the team, allowing Manchester City to completely suppress Bolton Wanderers and leave little chance for the opponent throughout the game.

In the end, Manchester City won 3-1 away.

After the game, many media commented on the player's performance and talked about Morris, and thought that he had improved compared to the previous game, but some media still questioned it, because Morris's performance was still much worse than before the injury.

After the game, Wan Sheng talked about this issue and said seriously, "Morris is adapting again, and I am sure he can get better soon." ”

His words were the same as in the last game.

But what no one noticed was that Wan Sheng's face clearly revealed confidence when he spoke, which was different from the last time he spoke, because now he was absolutely sure of Morris's recovery.

This was followed by a league game against Birmingham City three days later.

Manchester City are already preparing for the Champions League match with AC Milan, so in this game, Wansheng rotated a number of players, Morris also sat on the bench, and Ozil got the chance to start.

Still, there were no surprises, with Manchester City beating Birmingham City 1-0.

Morris played 10 minutes in the second half and didn't do anything special.

After the game, many media commented on this, believing that Wansheng had lost confidence in Morris.
