Chapter 138 Six players are suspended

When I woke up the next day, I saw that the sports section was full of news about the fight between Wolves players and Huaxia players, and the media from all over the country had different opinions.

Before noon, the league's fines followed. Six people from the Wolves involved in a brawl, regardless of severity, were all suspended for ten games.

In the afternoon, Huaxia and the Wolves made an official response to the matter. The Huaxia team accused the Wolves players of being dirty, while the Wolves accused the Huaxia team of insulting people first, and it became an endless debate.

The board of directors of the Wolves asked Lu Ziqiu about the situation. Lu Ziqiu told the truth and did not excuse himself and the players. He also told the board that the punishment should be punished and everything should be carried out in accordance with the team's management regulations. He has no opinion.

What the board of directors actually wanted to hear was not these, and they would do it without Lu Ziqiu telling them.

But without waiting for them to speak again, Lu Ziqiu hung up the phone on the pretext of being interviewed by a reporter.

Yang Xiaojing, who had just walked over, couldn't help giving him a blank look, "You even use me as a shield?"

Lu Ziqiu was not at all embarrassed, he smiled and asked, "Aren't you a reporter?"

Yang Xiaojing was speechless, "Let's not talk about this, let me ask you, your team's public relations department and Huaxia team are arguing endlessly on the Internet, what can you do?"

"I don't think so. That's their job. You can't keep them for nothing, right?"

"But if this goes on like this, the media will definitely have opinions."

Lu Ziqiu shrugged nonchalantly, "So what if you have an opinion?"

"Don't forget, they won't show mercy to you."

"Miss Yang."

Yang Xiaojing was taken aback, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

"Do you know something?"

Yang Xiaojing avoided his gaze, "Actually, you understand it very well, so why should I explain it to you?"

Lu Ziqiu withdrew his gaze, "Come in and sit for a while?" He already understood that Bai Yufei was the only one who could make her worry, but he couldn't figure it out, against himself, to bring down the team , what good is it to Bai Yufei?

Yang Xiaojing politely declined. Today is different from the past. It is indeed not very convenient for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room with Lu Ziqiu.

In the next six consecutive away games, the Wolves, short of major generals, played extremely hard. After the final game against Agni, the devil’s schedule finally came to an end. With four wins and six losses, they are temporarily tied for ninth in the Eastern Conference with the three teams.

Back in Yancheng, as soon as I got out of the airport, I saw reporters waiting at the team bus.

Yang Xiaojing frowned, and said solemnly, "The visitor is not kind."

Lu Wei frowned and asked: "Coach, why don't I let Kexin drive over, let's go out after they leave."

Lu Ziqiu glanced at it, shook his head slightly and did not reply.

Yang Xiaojing was a little anxious, "I think Lu Wei is right. With your temper, you might offend someone again."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head with a wry smile, "Is my temper really that bad?"

Yang Xiaojing nodded solemnly.

Lu Wei smiled wryly and said, "Sometimes you really don't speak very well. Of course, it's only for outsiders, especially for the media."

Lu Ziqiu himself didn't realize this. He felt that he was really easy to talk to. Could it be that I hated them subconsciously because I was blackmailed by the media a lot?But it doesn't seem to be the case.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Wei took out his phone and wanted to call Xia Kexin, but was stopped by Lu Ziqiu, "Don't bother, it's just a bunch of followers."

Yang Xiaojing was a little angry after hearing this, "Then am I also a follower?"

Lu Ziqiu couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Can't you be so sensitive? You know that's not what I meant."

"Yeah, I know, but I didn't know it until I've been in contact with you for a long time, but other reporters don't know. You treat them with such an attitude, no wonder they keep chasing you."

Lu Ziqiu choked for a while, "Well, it's my fault, I'll just try to be more careful in the future."

Lu Wei sighed: "Actually, I don't understand. Do you reporters in Yancheng have nothing to do all day long?"

Yang Xiaojing: "Yancheng doesn't have many things to report. The most eye-catching thing right now is the Wolves. What else can they report if they don't report on the Wolves? What's more, our team has a star like Coach Lu."

Lu Wei turned his head away with a wry smile, Yang Xiaojing was obviously still angry with Lu Ziqiu, he wouldn't be so stupid as to reason with Yang Xiaojing at this time, since dating with Xia Kexin, he realized that women are sometimes unreasonable.

Lu Ziqiu mourned, "Miss Yang, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, a big meal, okay?"

"You'd better save some time, who would dare to go out to eat with you at this time? I don't want to be in the headlines."

Lu Ziqiu was speechless. In fact, he also wondered, are these media reporters really fed up?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help being a little annoyed, and without saying a word, I took the lead and walked out with the suitcase, heading straight for the bus.

Lu Wei motioned for everyone to follow quickly, dumbfounded.

Yang Xiaojing glanced at Lu Ziqiu's back angrily.

The cameraman asked in a low voice, "Can't we get through?"

"Why don't you go there?"

"Not particularly good, I think."

"Never mind them, we are team reporters, of course we are with the team." Yang Xiaojing also lost her temper. As a reporter, she was blocked by another group of reporters.

As soon as they appeared, the group of reporters suddenly exploded.

With his head held high, Lu Ziqiu strode towards the team bus. The driver rushed over to take his salute and said in a low voice, "Boss Lu, they've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, you can put everyone's salute first." Lu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder, and turned to look at the group of reporters who surrounded him.

Before they could speak, Lu Ziqiu raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

Where are the reporters willing to listen?

"Coach Lu, what do you think about the players fighting?"

"During the fight, as the head coach, why didn't you step forward to stop it in time, and why didn't you stop the substitute player who rushed forward?"

"Coach Lu, the reason why you didn't stop me was because the audience offended you?"

"After the results of the league's punishment came out, why did you hesitate to respond?"

Lu Ziqiu's head got dizzy when he heard that, "Guys, please make room for me. We just came back from the game and need to rest. As for your questions, I will ask our team's public relations department to hold a press conference later. .”

Lu Wei came over with a few players and escorted Lu Ziqiu onto the team bus. The reporters chased after him until they reached the gate of the bus before being stopped by Lu Wei and others.

Lu Wei raised his hand to suppress the pressure, and said loudly: "Everyone, our head coach has already said that the team will hold a press conference at that time. If you have any questions, it will not be too late to ask them. Please let me go."
