shadow striker

In May, the weather in Turin can be described as cool, with a gentle breeze blowing. Sitting in the head coach's office at the Turin team's training base, you only need to open the window to feel the absolute warmth of summer vacation. Unbelievably refreshing.Head coach Dro stood in his office, holding his black notebook, looking through the tulle curtain at the Torino players who were undergoing regular training outside the window, and there was an indescribable silence, even his favorite The record player wasn't singing music either.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of his office, and Delo, who was wearing a tracksuit, cleared his throat and said formally, "Please come in."

"Coach, are you looking for me?"

The person who spoke was Yue Yihuang.He had apparently been called here in the middle of practice, and he was wearing the team's training jersey, with sweat clinging to his forehead.Regarding his doubts, De Luo nodded, and then motioned Yue Yihuang to sit on a chair, but he himself did not sit on the chair in front of the desk, and continued to stand, lowering his head to look at the open black notebook .

"Yue, I think you should know that the team has been very abnormal recently, very abnormal."

After saying this, De Luo didn't look up at Yue Yihuang, but continued to look at his notes.He didn't seem to intend for Yue Yihuang to say anything after he finished speaking, but continued to say while flipping through his notes:

"I think I have figured out the culprit of this abnormality. It should be three people, no, to be precise, it should be two people. And I have figured out the problem of one of them, I think everyone I figured it out too. But the other guy's problem I've never been able to figure out. Can you tell me what's wrong with the other guy?"

When he said this, De Luo finally closed his notebook, and stared at Yue Yihuang with a pair of eyes that could almost be described as sharp, making it impossible for the young Ying Feng to hide.

"I guess I...don't know"

"No, you know, of course you do. Because that's you."

Dro walked up to Yue Yihuang, looking down at the player he relied on so much.

"Can you tell me what happened between you and Francisco? Did he take your fiancée? Oh no no of course not, you don't have a fiancée, you don't even have a girlfriend. So it's yours Your partner took your salary for the whole year to invest and lost it all? No, I know Francisco, if that’s the case, he will definitely take out his salary to compensate you, unless he also takes his own Lost it all, but it's obviously impossible."

Dro first used his cold humor and said his unconstrained and unconstrained guesses to relax people's nerves.Afterwards, De Luo looked at Yue Yihuang in silence for a long time.

"Tell me. Tell me what happened."

"It's probably just some emotional ... innocuous little thing."

Obviously, the reason for the stalemate with Francisco was that Yue Yihuang didn't want to tell anyone.However, he couldn't escape Dro's probing eyes.Although this Turin-born coach is always out of tune on weekdays and makes players feel insecure, he is indeed a legendary coach who took Turin from the second division to the Champions League step by step.When necessary, he will do everything possible to eliminate the unstable factors in the team.

"Werder Bremen once lost a game because the captain's dog got lost. What about you? Do you want Torino to lose the last round of the league because of some innocuous little problem? If the problem is not solved, I will Think I'll have to ask the psychiatrist from the team to come and talk to you, but I don't want things to turn out like this, do you understand Yue?"

"Do you know what the head coach means to the players of the team? I think I am not only your coach, but also the person you want to ask for help when you encounter problems. I should also be your brother, or Father. Players should not hide anything from the coach. Because only when I know what happened to you, I can do my best to help you solve this problem."

"You know, I even helped a player who was addicted to drugs. To help him, I forced him to live in my house, under my nose 24 hours a day, and I told him almost every five minutes that he Strong, invincible, not broken by drugs. Eventually he got fit and back on the court. But it all worked out if the players believed in me and didn't hide anything from me."

"I don't allow my players to have their own little secrets. I'm not someone who won't let go of the G-spot of the player's wife. But the premise is that these little secrets have nothing to do with the player's competitive state."

"I hope you can understand the importance of the last round. Lecce has never been an underdog, and now they will explode with terrifying energy in order to avoid relegation. They are united, they are determined, and each of them has something that they must not lose. Determination, like a cornered hero. Such a team has always been the most terrifying in the league. But we must win this game, otherwise we will lose our Champions League tickets. .It would make all of our efforts in the league this season a...bubble."

"I hate this kind of bubble. In my eyes, Turin lost the Champions League ticket in the last round of the league and the meaning of Lecce's failure to relegation is the same. There is no difference between the two."

De Luo narrated to Yue Yihuang in an aria-like tone, describing the seriousness of the situation.

"Because the Italian national team is going to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, the last round of the league has been postponed for a week. Please resolve the conflict between the two of you as soon as possible. I think I may not give you too much time."

De Luo was not in a hurry to hear Yue Yihuang's answer to the question.He finally ended the conversation between the two with such a sentence.Obviously, if possible, he hopes that the players themselves can resolve the conflicts between teammates.Yue Yihuang was distracted by his words until he was kicked out of the head coach's office, and he was still deeply involved in the question that was kicked to him from the bottom of his heart.

Will my own waywardness ruin the team's efforts throughout the season?

Such a thing... Will it really have such a serious impact?

Yue Yihuang thought it was just a matter between him and Francisco.But until this moment he began to think about whether his idea was wrong.Is he... walking towards the existence of a cancer in the locker room.

While thinking about his thoughts, he walked towards the training ground, but when he finally walked out of the corridor, he saw Prince Turin, who had been treated coldly by him in recent days, standing in front of him, with undisguised worry on his face.

"The coach is looking for you, what's the matter?"

Seeing the obvious uneasiness, Yue Yihuang almost told him softly, don't worry, he didn't want to transfer.However, he only softened his eyes, and was warned by another strong voice in his heart.So he pretended not to see the other party and wanted to walk directly towards the training ground.

This time, Francisco did not grab Yue Yihuang with his hands, but said softly in a bitter voice when the other party passed by him: "You can't just turn a blind eye to me just because of my feelings for you .It is not a crime to pursue a loved one."

"Then I refuse your pursuit. And pursuing others is not an excuse to turn you into a nymphomaniac!"

Hearing that the other party misinterpreted his behavior in this way, even more sophistry than what he did before, Yue Yihuang finally couldn't hold back his rebuttal.The moment he turned around, he was sure he saw the charming smile of Prince Turin.But this time...that smile made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt sprouting in his heart.

"Well, I committed a crime. So my lord, what sentence do you want for me? To never speak to me, and to see me in a cold manner?"

The Prince of Turin who said these words was damn sexy and also damn pathetic.It is unimaginable that such a proud person would be so miserable and beg for forgiveness in front of another person.

"I... the coach said that the conflict between us is likely to affect the team's performance in the final round. So I will try... until the end of the season, I will try my best to keep the normal teammates with you, friendly relation."

"Then what about after the season is over? For two full months, you can only be strangers?"

Facing Francisco's questioning, Yue Yihuang failed to give an answer. He ran out of a place where he could be followed by the opponent's sight, and returned to the training ground to continue today's training.However, even if he didn't look back, he could still know what kind of expression the other party was watching him leave at this moment...

…………

Francisco: "Fazere, come to Turin. Fly here now, I'll pay the ticket."

Fazel: "You, you, what do you want to do?"

Francisco: "I confessed to Yihuang, but I was rejected. He even refused my pursuit, very firm."

Fazel: "Don't be impulsive! Listen to me, even if you are really in a bad mood after falling out of love, such a thing as friendship is still impossible! We are both on top, this This kind of thing is impossible and hopeless, hurry up and get back your sanity!"

Francisco:"……"

After that day's training, Francisco called Fazel who was far away in the UK, but he got such a misinterpretation from the other party.The Prince of Turin, who hadn't erupted for a long time and was in a bad mood, finally scolded his friend in England severely. Speak well.

Francisco: "I don't want too many people to know about Yihuang and I. So now I can only tell you."

Fazel: "Get the hell out of here, my ex-girlfriend is a psychiatrist, and her words are so tight that I still don't know who her ex-boyfriend is! I'll introduce you and ask her to charge you [-]% off."

Francisco: "Are you sure you really know what you're talking about?"

Francisco's voice was so gloomy that it almost hiccupped Fazel. The second child of Wimbledon finally let go, saying that he was really busy recently and couldn't find time to come to Turin. If Francisco If you had to wait, it might be ten days later.Why didn't the great Prince of Turin come to London?

When Fazel was still chattering about Francisco and rarely returned to London to gather with his friends since he went to Turin to play football, Francisco only said a word after silence:

"Okay, I'll come here now, and I'll be there in the evening."

Fazel: "..."

When Fazel actually picked up his friend outside the airport, he still couldn't believe his eyes.He couldn't believe that Francisco, who was supposed to be busy with training, actually came as he said.You must know that it was already 04:30 in the afternoon when he received the call, but now it is only nine in the evening, and he has already seen Francisco dragging his suitcase in London!

From Francisco's unsmiling face, it's not difficult for Fazel to guess that this blow is really heavy for Prince Turin.

"Where do you want to go?"

When looking at Francisco, Fazel's face showed a deep sympathy of unknown meaning.At the same time, he couldn't help feeling that Francisco, who was almost unbeaten in London, would be here again today...

"Anywhere."

"Okay, then I'll take you to a place that might make you feel better."

With that said, Fazel, who is often unreliable at important moments, drove Francisco to Boujis, a nightclub in South Kensington, London...
