Chapter 237 "Collective Rebellion"

Chapter 237 "Collective Rebellion"

The news of the old goalkeeper Sasha's official retirement quickly spread throughout the Notts County base. In every corner, people could be heard discussing the whole story of this matter, especially the one where Sasha and Colin were in charge of training. A few young people from the Shuguang Youth Training Academy, they are too young to even step into the professional arena, and they still can't understand what retirement means to their masters.

This is not the same as simply retiring. In the future, the feeling of leaving the green field is really uncomfortable. In their hearts, football is above all else. If they can’t get off the field to experience this moment in person, it will be the same as killing them. There is no difference.

As a coach, I can only comfort their wounded hearts a little bit, and occasionally show off a few kicks, which can be regarded as recalling myself at the beginning. It turns out that I can still play such an arc, and I still have the strength to fight.

Youth is not far away, we are still young.

Club chairman Wei Xun reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon through the relationship of Jorge Mendes. On August [-]st and [-]th, Notts County will play friendly matches with Sporting Lisbon at their respective home courts. Sasha will be on the first Held a retirement ceremony and celebrated the completion of Sporting Lisbon's home stadium, the Jose Alvalade Stadium, on the [-]th.

In order to be able to play a friendly match with Sporting Lisbon, Notts County also paid a sponsorship fee of 50 euros, and booked Sporting Lisbon to participate in the "Magpie Cup" charity invitational match in September.

There is absolutely no need to be so troublesome to hold a retirement ceremony, but Wei Xun just took out the 50 euro sponsorship fee from Zhao Tai. What method did he use, even Guardiola and Marotta didn't even know.

However, from Marotta's mouth, Wei Xun still learned a piece of information. The coaches of the team were having a meeting in the tactical discussion room. Line drawings of various colors are full.

It's not easy being a coach.

"Oh, Wei, you came just in time, we were looking for you!"

Guardiola, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to notice Wei Xun coming in, and he also wanted to tell Wei Xun something.

Mr. Krautchen and Coach Bila have already left. In the tactical discussion room, apart from Guardiola and Essayas, Sasha, Hubner and Abelardo are all veterans on the team's list. , and assistant coach.

"Oh, it's just a matter of buying people. I've been watching it recently. Our Huaxin Sports Company is also screening some suitable players. It's different now. Now we are a Premier League team and can play in the UEFA Cup. The market It is bullish all the way, the club is not short of money and can buy a lot of good players."

While talking, Wei Xun was intoxicated with an indescribable pleasure. He felt that the solid wood chairs in today's tactical seminar room were extremely soft.

"Wei, we want to talk to you about retiring..."

"Petrovic retired. He has already told me about it, and I was going to inform you. I didn't expect you to know it too."

I don't know whether Wei Xun is pretending to be stupid or really doesn't know, anyway, Guardiola is going to get straight to the point.

"Wei, I'm talking about my retirement with Dario and Abelardo!"

Guardiola's suddenly aggravated tone made Wei Xun feel a little uncomfortable. With a "boom", Wei Xun slid off the solid wooden chair. When Wei Xun got up from the ground, he was no longer floating. , completely awake.

Wei Xun's fingers trembled, and he pointed to Guardiola's four people one by one and asked, "You, you, you, and you! Are you four going to retire?"

"Yes, Wei, we have determined the time to retire." Hubner put Wei Xun's chair back, motioned him to sit down, and said calmly, "But it's not today, nor this season. We want to time our retirement at the end of next season..."

"Next season? Not even next season!"

Wei Xun stood up from his chair, and put his right hand heavily on the table, "Petrovic retired, and you all followed suit. Is it so easy to retire? You are all retired, and we in Notts County rely on A group of 20-year-olds going to fight the world?"

"Ah! Dario, tell yourself! You are the League Two Golden Boot, the League One Golden Boot, don't you want to win the Premier League Golden Boot next season? The top scorer who scored 21 goals in 27 games, you and I Say you want to retire?"

What Wei Xun said was the truth, and Dario Hubner was also a little helpless.

"And the two of you, Abelardo and Esaias, except for Carvalho, which one of the remaining people can take on important responsibilities? Inexperienced, frizzy, one-year-old The Premier League is not enough for them to grow up! Do you want Notts County to use relegation to pay for their tuition? You brought Notts County to the Premier League with your own hands, but you want to see it relegated back to the first division?"

If Wei Xun had always given them a relatively gentle impression, then today Wei Xun was really angry. He never thought that he would use such a strong tone to talk to the team veterans. It's not in line with his usual style of life for the eldest brother to speak like this.

At work, Wei Xun is their boss, but Wei Xun has always given them equal status and power, not to mention privately, Wei Xun has always regarded them as his big brothers.

But a few of them are now joining forces and saying that they want to retire. Is this a rebellion?
"Josep, I really have nothing to say to you and me," Wei Xun sighed, and continued, "Come on, tell me all about your reasons for retiring, and see if you can convince me!"

Wei Xun sat down again. He rolled up his trousers and sleeves. It was clearly only May, but his body was burning like a fire right now.

"Wei, I understand your feelings, that's why we said that next season will be our last season!"

"As you know, Dario has played 21 games this season, 37 games for me, [-] games for Abelardo, and even fewer games for Ezaias, only [-] games, generally even [-]/[-] of this season. None. Petrovic is [-], think about how old the four of us will be next season."

Guardiola pointed to the few people sitting in the tactical seminar room, and said to Wei Xun, "Abelardo, he will be 34 years old at the end of next season, and Dario will be 37 years old. 33 years old, Esaias is also thirty!"

Wei Xun is very familiar with these situations, but for midfielders, around 30 years old is still the golden age, how could they think of retiring.

As if seeing what Wei Xun was thinking, Guardiola continued, "Wei, before the few of us came to Notts County, we more or less rested for a while and didn't play a game. We are the youngest among the few, but he bears such a heavy weight! How many injuries are there for the three of us, you can ask Georgia to know.”

"Multi-line combat next season, the reason why we don't retire now is to give young players time and space to grow, and to play at any time when we are needed. The strength of the Premier League, UEFA Cup and even the Champions League, Compared with League One, I don’t know how much bigger it is. It’s unrealistic for us old bones to participate in the game for a long time. You don’t want your head coach and assistant coach to wander around the base with a cane every day? "

In fact, after Guardiola and the others said so much, Wei Xun was not as persistent as he was at the beginning.

Dario is indeed old and can rest. Notts County’s forward line has a backlog of people; the same situation also occurs with Abelardo and Esaias. Lini, Barzagli, Mertesacker and even the 16-year-old Curtis are all waiting for the top position.

Not to mention Guardiola, after accepting Notts County for two seasons, his appearances have become less and less. For him, it is undoubtedly a better choice to devote himself to the role of coach.

And Esayas took the initiative to apply to join Hansen's security company and do some "secret" work, which Wei Xun did not expect.

"I agree with what you said, and I respect your opinions, but it will be rare for several of you to retire together in the future. It's too scary. I'm young and my heart can't bear it..."

Wei Xun took a sip of the magpie tea that Guardiola handed over, and there is no ice lemonade he likes here, "As for the specific retirement time of the few of you, we will discuss it at the end of next season. I will reject your proposal, but I have a request, you can start to work as a coach after the end of next season, but as long as the team needs you to play, you must stand up!"

"make a deal!"

This guy Esayas agreed the fastest, and Wei Xun felt that his transfer method had worked, but he always felt something weird.However, he doesn't want to waste time thinking about this anymore. Taking advantage of the presence of veterans in various positions, it is imperative to quickly discuss which positions the team should strengthen.
