Chapter 32: Late Night Calls
Bournemouth, the capital of Dorset in south-west England, is a well-known coastal tourist destination in the United Kingdom.
It's only a short two-and-a-half-hour drive from Leicester to Bournemouth.
Rossi looked at the loan application in his hand, the black signature and blue seal on the bottom left, and his face was unwavering.
Craig drove the car and said, "Luo, although there are some regrets, this season, I am afraid you can only play in the Championship." ”
Bournemouth's loan application can provide Rossi with all the food and accommodation, and it is clearly written that he is guaranteed to play 20 games.
Being able to play is very important for Rossi.
Even if you are selected for the first team of Leicester City, there is no guarantee of a chance to play.
However, Rossi couldn't let go of it.
Kerek saw Rossi's dissatisfaction and comforted: "Luo, in fact, there is nothing wrong with loaning, you can accumulate experience in the Championship, I believe you will come back sooner or later." And I can tell you responsibly that Hopper and Smith will only be able to play in the Under-21 league for the new season. ”
Rosie said lightly: "Mr. Shakespeare, can you tell me, Hopper and Smith, how is their relationship with James?" ”
Craig was slightly surprised, marveling at Rossi's calm analysis, and immediately thought of this conflict, which was related to James.
"They...... The relationship is very good. "Craig is a bit distracted.
Rossi has understood everything, and it is all James who is playing in the way, relying on himself as the head coach's son to dictate to the young players.
Hopper and Adams were also stupid, and they really didn't know what James had promised to dare to do such a thing.
"When the loan expires, if I don't go back, can I move directly to Bournemouth?"
Rosie's question made Craig a little surprised, and said, "Luo, you can't be rash. This clash has a big impact on the club, as long as you perform well, we can call you back. ”
"No, I think Bournemouth is fine." Rossi said lightly: "Besides, we can be promoted to the Premier League, why can't they. ”
Bournemouth were in the lower leagues until 2000.
In '08, Bournemouth announced a debt restructuring and were deducted 10 points, finishing 21st in League One and relegated to League Two.
The following year, the team failed to get out of debt restructuring and was deducted 17 points to start the season.
However, they finished 21st that season and were relegated.
In the 09-10 season, he won the runner-up in the English League Two and was promoted to the English League.
In the 12-13 season, he won the runner-up in the English League One and was promoted to the Championship.
"Luo, no kidding." Craig said solemnly: "It's about your career, and one wrong step may be irreparable." ”
Rosie said: "Sir, I know you helped me, and I also admit the punishment for fighting." However, from today onwards, the three of them are still in the team, and it is impossible for me to go back. ”
Rosie was rarely angry, and Craig knew in his heart that he couldn't calm down no matter what he said now.
You can only wait for a while, and then slowly enlighten when the qi is gone.
Arriving at Bournemouth, the team was out playing a friendly and after Rossi had gone through the relevant formalities to report, Craig drove him to his accommodation.
In the evening, Craig had to rush back to Leicestershire, had a brief meal with Rossi, and then left.
Rosie looked at an apartment similar to the one he had lived in in Leicestershire, fully furnished.
If it comes, it will be safe.
Leicester also quit his job, and his salary remained unchanged during the loan period, so he didn't have to spend more money here and could devote himself to the team.
After Rossi took a shower, the phone rang suddenly.
Special services?
"Luo, are you still used to living?"
On the other end of the phone, there was a familiar voice.
"Mr. Redknapp?"
Rosie was taken aback, how he knew he was in Bournemouth, and the phone number here.
"I used to coach here, and I had a bit of face, so I asked someone for a phone call."
On the other end of the line, Redknapp paused and continued, "I've heard about you too. It's a pity, but renting out workouts is a good option for you. ”
The high-level league is an opportunity for young players, and it is also a Shura field.
Not only newcomers, but also professional players, they all have to do their best to sit in the main position.
If you slacken, you will be replaced by other teams.
With such a level of competition, newcomers have to show their ability to be useful to the team in a limited amount of time.
If the performance is not good, it will be replaced by a long time of substitution, and the torture in the heart will gradually wear down the fighting spirit.
"Thank you, sir." Rosie said, "I'll go back." ”
Redknapp smiled and said, "Listening to your tone, I'm still a little unwilling." ”
Rosie was silent, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
He was indeed framed, and in the face of provocation, his legitimate defense, not only was he not forgiven, but he was punished by the club, such unfair treatment, who can stand this tone.
On the way to Bournemouth, Rossi even thought about simply staying here, improving his strength, and then transferring to other strong teams, and in the game against his old club, he was ruthless and angry.
"It's a little unwilling." Rosie finally spoke out of the boulder that weighed on his heart.
As everyone knows, Lao Lei on the other end of the phone laughed.
There is no mockery, just an indifferent smile.
'Rowe, my coaching career, started at Bournemouth, as an assistant coach, and I stayed there for a whole ten years.
Lao Lei was silent for a long time, as if he was trying to recall the past many years ago, and said slowly: "At that time, the team was very difficult, they had already fallen into Group C, and the team expelled me because I couldn't coach. ”
As a ten-year veteran of the team, the club is just a matter of one sentence, have you ever thought about Lao Lei's efforts in the past ten years?
Thinking of this, Rossi felt that what he encountered was nothing, and he also found a team for himself to play consistently.
"Then I didn't have a job, so I went to West Ham as an assistant coach and started all over again."
West Ham United had a glorious time, winning the FA Cup in 1964 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965.
In 1980, it also created the miracle of League Two winning the FA Cup in the history of the English FA Cup.
But then, West Ham United began to decline. Ten years of ups and downs have left the team hovering between League One and League Two.
The year Redknapp took over was his first year in the Premier League.
Under his leadership, West Ham United qualified for the UEFA Cup, and the young players under his command were all future stars of the England team, and the "Hammers" became famous in the Premier League.
However, on May 9, 2001, Redknapp left the team before the final game of the season, but whether he resigned or was sacked remains a mystery to this day.
'After leaving West Ham and working for other teams, I thought I was doing a good job, but in the end I left. During this time, I also thought that I was conscientious and did not feel sorry for the club, but the club's interference in my work made me have a lot of trouble with them. ”
Few managers can do their job for long, and Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are role models for Premier League coaches.
"Later, I went to White Hart Lane. I was happiest when I won a lot of honours with the team and watched a lot of kids become very famous players. ”
Speaking of this paragraph, Lao Lei's tone couldn't help but reveal pride, not at all like an old man who was almost seventy years old.
"I missed the Champions League, so the club terminated my contract in advance, and all of a sudden, I went from being a Premier League coach to a laid-off person."
Lao Lei did not reveal his unwillingness to leave other teams like before, but told his experience like a story with a peaceful attitude.
Rosie was on the other end of the phone, hearing Lao Lei's voice drinking water, decades of experience, was said lightly by Lao Lei, and he also listened to it with relish.
"Luo, this world is inherently unfair, we must learn to let go. Maybe you can't understand this now, but when you reach my age, you will find that many things, if we hold on, will become the source of our troubles. ”
'I could have gone to a better team to coach when I came out of Tottenham, but I chose Queens Park Rangers and here I enjoy every day, every game, that's what life is all about.
Rosie understood that Lao Lei was enlightening himself, for fear that he would go to a new environment, and because of the previous unhappiness, it would affect himself.
"That's right!"
Lao Lei suddenly raised his voice, and said with some excitement: "After you told me about the poems of your hometown last time, I was very interested and wanted to know more. A friend recommended to me a book by a celebrity, and there is a sentence in it that is very suitable for you now. ”
Lao Lei, who is almost 70 years old, is still studying tirelessly, and Rosie sighs to himself for this perseverance.
"What do you say?" Rosie was also interested, eager to know which famous book Lao Lei was reading.
Lao Lei muttered on the other end of the phone for a long time, accompanied by the sound of flipping books, and then said slowly: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ”
At this moment, Rossi was all over his body, every pore was tightly contracted, and a stream of electricity was flowing all over his body.
"Thank you."
Old Ray half-jokingly said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance in Bournemouth, do you want me to say hello to little Eddie and let him take care of you." ”
"I will use my strength to get back into the Premier League."
"I'm looking forward to it, goodbye!"
