Chapter Twenty-Three: After the Race
The game was over, and after another celebration in the dressing room, the dressing room calmed down.
Every Under-19 player was flushed and the excitement lingered long after the game. Everyone is still enthusiastically discussing the game just now.
"Everyone, I hope that you will personally go to your boss when you win the news, I went to find Hu at halftime, in addition to the tactical arrangement, Hu told me to take you to his office after the game is over."
Tony, the team's strength and conditioning coach, clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
"Okay, then let's take a shower and change clothes, and then go to the boss's company." Oscar responded loudly to Tony, who scored his first league goal today and his mood was at a peak.
"That's okay, everyone move quickly, it's been a while since the game ended, hurry up, don't let Hu wait too long." Horion then followed Oscar's response and said.
On the other side, Hu Xuefei's office.
"Yes, Mr. Alex, I just beat up the head coach on the other side during the game." Hu Xuefei was on the phone with the team's youth training director, Mr. Alex.
"Why? Hu, you're not such an impulsive person, do you know what the consequences are? On the other end of the line came Mr. Alex's anxious voice.
Hu Xuefei was very calm, and there was not even a trace of fluctuation in his voice. "I know, sir. So, I'm calling you now to tell you something. β
Alex: "What? You say, when the time comes, the Football Association will give a sanction to your matter, and at that time, I will use my relationship to see if I can reduce the punishment. β
Alex is true love for Lao Hu himself, it's good if he didn't fire himself, and he also used his relationship to reduce his punishment.
Hu Xuefei burst into tears.
After being moved, Hu Xuefei expressed his needs, "I got a red card in this game, so I definitely can't participate in the next two rounds of the league, so it is natural to let my coach's seat come to command." β
Alex: "Hmm. β
Hu Xuefei continued: "I don't know how many games I will be banned this time, but I hope that Horion will lead the team during my ban. β
Alex was not surprised by the news that Hu Xuefei would be banned, but he didn't expect Hu Xuefei's request to be just this, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Is this all?" β
"Yes, sir. For this Under-19 team, I think Horion is the best candidate to replace me. β
Alex: "Okay, then let Horion replace you first, and then deal with you when your punishment report comes out." You're so uncool this time. Alex shook his head in disappointment and hung up.
Hu Xuefei put his phone aside, stretched, and looked at the ceiling above his head, thoughtfully.
After being expelled, Hu Xuefei understood that he might have to watch the Espanyol U19 game this season, and there would even be other punishments within the team. Therefore, for the sake of the U19, Hu Xuefei chose Horion as the interim U19 head coach.
Horion knows Hu Xuefei's tactics best, and he is also a veteran of the U19 coach, and he is also a coach who is very familiar to the U19 boys.
"I wonder if the head coach of the youth team below will be promoted?" Hu Xuefei looked at the ceiling and muttered.
Knock knock
Three knocks on the door are Horion's habits. They're coming.
"Please come in!"
Hu Xuefei straightened the crumpled sweatshirt and sat in a serious position.
"Hey, boss, we won Barcelona, 2-0, two goal difference." Before the door was opened, the voice of the outspoken Oscar came from outside the door.
Hu Xuefei grinned, being able to win the victory against Barcelona can be regarded as a 'reward' for Hu Xuefei's farce.
"Okay, I see, you find a place to sit, and if you don't have a seat, go and move a few stools." Hu Xuefei smiled and waved at Oscar, who was still chattering and exaggerating the game process. Then a few more people were asked to move some stools.
Soon, Hu Xuefei's office was packed to the brim. Although Hu Xuefei's office is not big, it is still possible to sit with about a dozen people.
Seeing that everyone was doing a good job, Hu Xuefei spoke again: "First of all, congratulations on winning the Catalan derby of the U19 this time!" β
"Oh!!" Everyone cheered, apparently happy that their boss was satisfied with their performance.
Hu Xuefei smiled and waited for the excited cheers to pass, and then said: "In this game, although I was expelled from the court because of some farce, and I didn't watch the whole process of the game, I know that to win the game, you must have put in 200% of your efforts to overcome such a difficult game, congratulations again." After speaking, Hu Xuefei stood up and hugged every team member. This is Hu Xuefei's routine after the game, whether he wins or loses, he will hug and greet him.
Everyone stood up and hugged Hu Xuefei, for Hu Xuefei's farce, they knew that no matter what, Hu Xuefei was on their side.
After Hu Xuefei hugged everyone, he returned to his position.
"I think everyone understands that I beat others because they touched my bottom line. I've talked to Ivan before, and I take care of you like a child, so I don't allow anyone to hurt or slander you. So, this time I was impulsive. β
"Boss, I've got your back!" Oscar didn't wait for Hu Xuefei to finish speaking, and immediately stood up and supported Hu Xuefei.
"Yes, boss, we've got your back." Captain Carlos GarcΓa also took the lead.
Hu Xuefei looked at the dozen or so pairs of unwavering eyes in front of him, and his heart was moved. Hu Xuefei and them have long been not just the shallow connection between coaches and players, but the incomparably hard friendship between teachers and students.
"Okay, whether you support it or not, I will be punished, and I will take the information to the Football Association for investigation in a few days, and then there may be a ban.
So, I've just spoken to your head of academy, Mr. Alex, and in my absence, the tactical command of the game is mainly in charge of your coach Horion. β
"What?" Horion looked at Hu Xuefei in surprise and hurriedly refused. "I can't, Hu, I'm not this material at all."
Hu Xuefei looked at the anxious Horion and said with a smile: "Didn't you command very well in the second half today?" Horion. β
"That's because it'....." Hu Xuefei interrupted Horion, who arranged the tactics in the second half today, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Horion is the team's interim head coach in the future.
"There's no because, that's your tactic, believe in yourself, you can." Hu Xuefei didn't let Horion speak again, anyway, when he was really banned, Mr. Alex's arrangement would also be sent to the team, and Horion had to take the responsibility.
"Boss, it's just a ban, why do you say it's like you're out of class?" Gomez looked at Hu Xuefei.
Hu Xuefei smiled slightly, "I prepare for the worst to meet the upcoming reality, and I have some personal matters to deal with, so I have to leave for a while." β
"That's right." Gomez nodded, understanding Hu Xuefei's approach. Although he was reluctant, everything was still unknown, so what Hu Xuefei's plan was, Gomez couldn't intervene.
Hu Xuefei congratulated the team again on the victory before disbanding the team.
"Hu, I can't be the head coach." Horion remained in Hu Xuefei's office. Hu Xuefei looked at Horion with mischievous eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "Go home, today's game is over." β
"Hey, Hu, I'll talk to you!" Horion hurriedly chased after Hu Xuefei, who had already left the office and walked away.
"Hey, don't talk about it, it's up to you anyway, why don't you discuss what dinner is tonight?" Hu Xuefei's playful tone, angry Horion's teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do about Hu Xuefei, so he could only give up and honestly go downstairs to be Hu Xuefei's driver.
