Chapter 12 I'm Not Reconciled!

Standing at the door of Duncan's office, Richard Dunn tidied up his appearance and knocked on the door.

Richard Dunne, 28 years old, serves as a central defender, the current captain of Manchester City, and the best player in the Manchester City team in the past two seasons.

As an iron guard, Richard Dunn has outstanding defensive ability.Except for the occasional red card and own goal, it is more than enough to be the main central defender of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

In Duncan's formation system, Dunn has also been evaluated as a "main player".

Of course, when this dude made his debut, he played right back.But later, he was squeezed out by Sun Jihai, who was better at running.After the tree moved the dead and the living, and changed to a central defender, Richard Dunn's performance became more stable.

Able to win the best player in the team consecutively at the central defender position.No way, Dunn should thank Xiaosun.

"Coach." After entering the door, Richard Dunn said.

Dunn motioned for him to sit in a chair.

Richard Dunn sat down and looked at the head coach who was two years younger than himself.

Although he was young, Richard Dunn did not dare to underestimate Duncan's Thunder skills today.

"Richard, let me figure it out, this is your seventh year in the Manchester City team." Duncan said.

"Yes, coach." Dunn replied, he didn't know why Duncan asked this question.

The club has too much debt, ready to sell players?

"Then you are an old man of the club, and you have experienced some ups and downs with the club." Duncan said: "In the past few years, the club has been relegated and promoted many times, and even played in different leagues for four consecutive seasons. What do you think? ?”

"I don't like that feeling." Dunn thought, recalling some painful memories: "The feeling of hoping to be promoted, busy for a season, and finally relegated, is very bad. Maybe the outside world thinks, Manchester City is a lift and everyone must have taken it for granted."

"But it's not like this. No one wants to play in the top league, and no one is used to relegation. The feeling of relegation is very painful. I don't want to go through it again!"

Dunn showed a painful expression. He really wanted to stay in the Premier League and participate in the Champions League, but the team was too weak and could only go up and down.

"It's not your fault," Duncan comforted: "There are 11 people on the court, and the result of the game is decided by 11 people. You don't have to care. I believe you also know that the unity of the locker room is the key to the team's success in relegation. The key. Only when everyone gathers together and twists into one rope, will the team have combat effectiveness! And a captain is the leader of the locker room!"

Duncan sat up straight and looked at Dunn seriously.

"I know, you are an excellent professional player! I also know very well that you are the captain and the leader of the team! I called you here today, just to tell you that I hope you can show your professionalism and help I sort out the locker room. I don't like losing, I don't like being relegated, and I'm sure you don't either!"

Dunn may have doubts about Duncan's coaching ability, but "do not want to be relegated" is the common goal of the two of them.From this point on, the two of them were a trench teammate.

After taking a serious look at the young head coach, Dunn nodded and agreed, "I will try my best! In the locker room, please rest assured!"

After a few more conversations, Dunn went out.

The next player to come in has a classic face.He is also an old acquaintance of Duncan, the 22-year-old Greek striker, Samaras.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"sit down."

The two had a pleasant experience in the reserve team, so they are fairly familiar with each other.

"Your performance recently has not been good." Duncan cut to the chase.

"I'm sorry, boss." Samaras bowed his head.

Samaras is not very flamboyant, but rather introverted.Such people are usually gentle, but once the axis is lifted, the Hummer cannot be pulled back.

His gentle personality is also the reason why his teammates still tolerate him when he played poorly in Manchester City.

But for a center forward, such a character is a bit insufficient.

This makes him look a bit unresolute on the court, and lacks hardness in confrontation.It's okay in other leagues, but in the Premier League where physical confrontation is fierce, technology alone is not enough.

If you run into a villain defender like Gary Neville, it is possible to shovel Samaras and cry.

Duncan believes that Samaras' problems are mainly psychological.

28 goals in 0 games is a good illustration.

It seems that it is necessary to give Samaras a strong dose of medicine psychologically.

"I heard that you got opposition from almost everyone in order to come to Manchester City. You even went to court with your home team for a transfer. Now you have played 28 games here without scoring a goal. I don't know about the previous ones. People, what do you think when you see your performance like this?"

While speaking, Duncan leaned casually on the back of the leather chair, with the corners of his mouth upturned, and a slight sneer.

Samaras lowered his head with a painful expression, but his fists were clenched tightly, and his veins were exposed.

As the future star of Greece, he went smoothly at the beginning of his career, scoring 88 goals in 25 games, was selected for the national team at the age of 21, and even got the favor of Arsenal's youth training.

In the end, Samaras joined Manchester City with the second highest net worth in team history.

The highest in team history is Anelka.

Joining Manchester City at a high price is a manifestation of his ambition.He dreams of proving his abilities on the Premier League stage!
However, the reality is very skinny, and Samaras quickly lost in the fierce confrontation of the Premier League.The team's performance was not good, and Pierce put him on the reserve team.

Although he played a good game in the reserve team and was recalled to the first team, his bad luck continued.

Samaras' mood has reached the lowest point.

Now being reprimanded by Duncan face to face, my heart is full of aggrieved and resentful.

"Do you want to leave the team?"

"The parent team, Heerenveen, can't go back. You've already offended me there. It's one thing to accept you or not. Even if you go back, you'll probably be ridiculed."

"It's not possible in Greece. You, the star of hope, finally landed in the Premier League. If you go back now, won't you become a sinner for the whole people?"

"Well, how about the Scottish league team? Celtic? The level is not high, you can go there and dominate..."

"Enough! What do you want to say!"

Samaras raised his head, his expression was ferocious, his eyes were as red as bloodshot!

Dunn smiled nonchalantly: "I just want to see if you still have fighting spirit, do you still want to prove yourself, or, may I contact you with a League Two or Scottish Super League club? ? At the age of 22?"

Because of anger, Samaras' body was even trembling.

"Are you angry? Very good, hold your hand tightly, tighten your blood vessels, remember this feeling!" Duncan snapped his fingers and sat up straight.

"But you are angry here, it doesn't make any sense. They can't see or hear, they are still belittling you and mocking you!"

"What you have to do is to go back to the field and use your goals to smash doubts and obstacles that stand in front of you!"

Duncan stared into Samaras' eyes without blinking.His words still did not stop.

"Do you remember what I said today? Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit! You have to imagine yourself as a wolf, and use your sharp claws and fangs to tear apart all enemies!"

"Now the team is in the relegation zone, but I am not worried at all. I believe that with my own ability, I will definitely be able to lead the team to relegation! Some people say outside that I am a rookie with no experience and will definitely lead the team to relegation. But They are not me, so why should they decide the future for me?"

"Others are not you, why do you think you are worthless? Are you willing?"

Samaras lowered his head slowly and fell silent.The tense body slowly relaxed.

He silently pushed away the chair, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Duncan's fiery eyes slowly cooled down.

Samaras walked to the door and opened it.

"I can not be reconciled!"
