Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 43 A Foil for Peers
In the face of Fence La's affectionate style, Simon King certainly won't embarrass her.
He looked down at the table and looked down on them like a Caesar.
"I'll stay on the team!"
"No matter how much money the club gives me on the contract, I'm going to stay!"
"Because, I love it. Also because of ......"
Fencera's eyes were full of longing, and she hoped that the next thing the other person would say would be "I love you".
But Fencera will be disappointed after all, because at this time, Simon King, he only has football in his eyes, and he only has football in his heart.
โโฆโฆ Because I said before, as long as everything listens to me, then we will be relegated and next year's Champions League qualification will be ours. And now, I'm going to make good on my promise, I'm going to ......"
Fencera couldn't listen to Simon King's next words, and she regretfully retreated behind the player, tasting disappointment in a man for the first time in her life.
Moments later, the official in charge of the post-match press conference knocked on the door of the locker room.
Fence La, who was preoccupied, accompanied Simon King with such a blank face and walked out together.
โฆโฆ
There were far more people in the venue than in the past.
Not only several well-known newspapers in Portugal have arrived, but even sports media in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy have all sent senior reporters.
Out of courtesy to foreign friends, the competition officials stopped the noise and motioned for a reporter from the French newspaper "Team" to take the lead in asking questions.
"Hello Simon King, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your relegation success. My question is, as a gaming enthusiast, how do you pull a team that the world sees as doomed to relegation back from the brink? Thank you. โ
Although the other party's tone was very respectful, the other party's words made the fence uncomfortable.
Her young lady's temper was almost flare-up, but fortunately Simon King noticed it in time, quietly under the table, and held her hand.
With this grip, all emotions disappeared.
Like a little girl who had been given candy, Fencera looked at him with adoring eyes.
Listen to Simon King: "I do love to play games, but I still love football the most. As for the secret of the team's relegation, of course, I have the credit, but this is inseparable from the efforts of the whole team. โ
When the other reporter heard this, he immediately nodded in his heart and said: "It is said that this Internet celebrity is an arrogant maniac, and it seems that this is indeed the case." โ
So he thought for a moment, and then asked: "In this way, do you think that the reason why the team can be relegated is completely inseparable from your ability?" Isn't there any other reason? โ
In normal times, Simon King might be able to hear the trap in the other party's words.
But now he was very excited, his brain was hot, and he blurted out: "I can't say that completely, as I said earlier, the effort of the players is just as important as mine." Of course, if there has to be another reason...... I think...... Maybe it's a foil for my peers. โ
"A foil to your peers?"
Hearing this, the audience was in an uproar.
Although reporters have entered the industry before and after, any one of them can be called an experienced existence.
They couldn't believe their ears, and they couldn't believe that on such an occasion, there would be a coach who would be so ruthless and say such lofty words.
The reporter of the British "Guardian" quickly stood up and said: "In this way, do you think the coaches in Portugal are not as good as you?" โ
Simon King knew he was speechless, but at this moment the wood was in the boat.
He could only move the head coach of the Belen team who had taunted him to his face and was also beaten by him, to save the game.
"Not all, but individually. For example, Carvalho, the coach of the Belรฉm team, said before the game that I was a gamer and said that he wanted to look good. Alas...... You don't know what he said at the time, but what was the result? 6๏ผ0ใ โ
The reporters were excited again, they heard the coach fire in public for the first time in their lives, and they all felt that this trip was not in vain.
The reporter of the Spanish newspaper "Marca" excitedly took over the words and said: "You mean that the other party will lose to you because of the light enemy?" Does that mean that the legendary game coach really deserves his name? โ
Simon King glanced at the other party and sighed, "Why do you have to have trouble with the game?" Again, my dentist is very good, but he has never had a toothache. โ
The reporters laughed and quickly asked other questions.
"May I ask Simon King, from an unknown little person, in such a short period of time, to become an Internet celebrity in the whole of Portugal, do you have anything to say, or feelings?"
Simon Kim said: "Thank you for asking me this question, in fact, I also want to take this opportunity to say a few words to the netizens who support me." โ
"Starter, I don't think I'm an Internet celebrity, I just did some of my own job."
"Secondly, almost all my energy is put into the team. That's why I don't use the Internet very much, so I don't thank the people who support me. โ
"Finally, I would like to say thank you to all those who have supported me and who have supported Vixna. However, I ask you to focus on my abilities, not on who I once was. Thank you. โ
The sincere speech was exchanged for thunderous applause from the audience.
Most reporters also put away their initial disdain and respected him at this moment.
But there are always outliers, such as the reporter of Sport de Portugal.
"As far as I know, there have always been people in the team who don't look down on you. Just now, another senior executive who has left the company told me that he thinks your three victories are all just luck. What do you have to say about that? โ
Simon King said disdainfully: "Please name this high-ranking person." โ
The reporter said: "I'm sorry, this is an industry secret. โ
"Well, if you don't say it, I know who it is. I would also like to tell those who care about us that the performance of the team is definitely not luck, and to put it bluntly, we are only playing at most 30% of our strength. โ
"Thirty percent strength?"
"Sure enough, I'm still arrogant, and I was almost deceived by his sincere statement just now."
"I don't know how those well-known coaches in the league will react when they hear his words, but this guy is really shameless."
"The villain has the ambition, and he is really a garbage who has never seen the world!"
"I have to send this passage back to headquarters right away, and there are so many things to gain today."
In the stunned eyes of a group of reporters, Simon King motioned to the league organizers to answer one last question.
As a result, the league officials, who did not have a good impression of Simon King, immediately chose the Italian "Milan Sport", which has always been known for its viciousness.
The reporter understood and stood up with bad intentions.
"Jose Mourinho, who is in the middle of his career and is not cared for, can only commit to Roma now. May I ask Simon King, are people like you with no professional experience doomed to decline? โ
Jose Mourinho has always been an idol of Simon King.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be furious, and said sharply:
"Mr. Jose Mourinho has been named by UEFA as the greatest coach of the 21st century. He almost single-handedly pulled the Cosmos team Barcelona off the altar. And it is precisely because of his joining that the Serie A league has regained the attention of the world. โ
"And you, you don't deserve to mention his name. And I, as someone who has no professional football experience like him, are destined to trample all of your self-righteous and high-minded so-called experts to the soles of our feet! โ
