Chapter 237 "Collective Rebellion"

The news of the official retirement of the old goalkeeper Sasha quickly spread throughout the Notts County base. Every corner can be heard talking about the whole story, especially the training staff under Sasha and Colin. Several young people in the Shuguang Youth Training Academy are too young to even enter the professional arena. They still don't understand what it means to retired for 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 court and feel this moment in person, it’s killing them. There is no difference.

As a coach, I can only comfort their injured hearts a little, and occasionally show off a few feet. It is a memory of the original self. It turns out that I can also kick out such an arc. It turns out that I still have the power to fight.

Youth is not far away, we are still young.

Club President Wei Xun has reached an agreement with the Lisbon Sporting Club through the relationship with Jorge Mendes. On August 1st and 6th, Notts County will play a friendly match with Sporting Lisbon at their home courts, with Sasha on the first. Held a retirement ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Jose Alvalade Stadium on the 6th at the home of the Lisbon Sports.

In order to be able to play a friendly match with Sporting Lisbon, Notts County also paid a sponsorship fee of 500,000 Euros and booked Sporting Lisbon to participate in the "Magpie Cup" Charity Invitational in September.

There is absolutely no need for such a troublesome retiring ceremony, but Wei Xun just took out the 500,000 euros of sponsorship from Zhao Tai's hands. What specific methods were used, even Guardiola. Neither Marotta knew.

However, from Marotta's mouth, Wei Xun still learned a message. The coaches of the team were having a meeting in the tactical discussion room. When Wei Xun came in to ask Guardiola about the lineup reinforcement, the whiteboard in the room was already The line drawing of all colors is full.

Being a coach is not easy.

"Oh, Wei, you came just right, we are looking for you!"

Guardiola, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first person to spot Wei Xun coming in, and he also wanted to talk to Wei Xun about something.

Mr. Klauchen and Coach Billa have already left. In the tactical discussion room, in addition to Guardiola and Esayas, Sasha, Hubner and Abelardo are all registered veterans of the team. , And assistant coach.

"Oh, isn't it just a matter of buying people? I have been watching it recently. Our Huaxin Sports Company is also screening some suitable players. Today is different. Now we are a Premier League team and can play the UEFA Cup. Quotes Along the way, the club is not short of money and can buy a lot of good players."

As he spoke, Wei Xun was intoxicated with an indescribable pleasure. He felt that the solid wood chair in the tactical seminar room today was extremely soft.

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

"Petrovic has retired, he has already told me about this, and I am going to let you know. I didn't expect you to know it too."

I don't know if Wei Xun is pretending to be a fool or he really doesn't know, but Guardiola is ready to go straight to the subject anyway.

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

Guardiola's sudden increase in tone made Wei Xun feel a little uncomfortable. With a "bang", Wei Xun slid off the solid wood chair. When Wei Xun got up from the ground, he was no longer floating. , Sober thoroughly.

Wei Xun's fingers trembled. He pointed at the four Guardiola and asked, "You, you, you, and you! All four of you are going to retire?"

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

"Next season? Not next season!"

Wei Xun got up from his chair and lined up his right hand heavily on the table, "Petrovic has retired, and you guys followed suit. Is it such an easy thing to retire? You are all retired, and we are in Notts County. Will a bunch of twenty-year-olds go to fight the world?"

"Ah! Dario, tell it yourself! You are the Premier League Golden Boot, the Premier League Golden Boot next season? The scorer king who scored 27 goals in 21 games. , You told me you want to retire?"

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

"And you two, Abelardo and Essayas. Except for Carvalho, take a look at the remaining few people who can take on important tasks, lack experience, and are also frizzy, one year old The Premier League is not enough for them to grow up! Do you want Notts County to pay for their tuition by relegation? You brought Notts County to the Super League by yourself, but you have to watch it fall back to the First Division?"

If Wei Xun’s impression of them has always been relatively mild, then Wei Xun today is really moved. He never thought that he would use such a heavy tone to talk to the old men of the team. The eldest brother said this, which is not in line with his usual style of life.

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 brother.

But a few of them, now they are ganging up, saying that they are going to retire. Is this going to rebel?

"Josep, I really don't have anything to say to you," Wei Xun sighed and continued, "Come on, let's talk about it all, the reason for your retirement, see if you can convince me!"

Wei Xun sat down again. He rolled up his trousers and sleeves. It was obviously only May, but his body was burning like a fire at the moment.

"Wei, I understand your mood, so we said that next season is our last season!"

"As you know, Dario has played 21 games this season. I have 16 games, Abelardo has 18 games, and Essayas has fewer games, only 10 games, generally even three games this season. Less than one point. Petrovich is thirty-seven. Think about how old the four of us will be next season."

Guardiola pointed his finger at the people sitting in the tactical seminar room and said to Wei Xun, "Abelardo, thirty-four years old at the end of next season, and Dario is thirty-seven years old. I am slightly better. Some, that's thirty-three years old, and Isaias is thirty!"

Wei Xun knows all these things, but for midfielders, around 30 is still the golden age, how could he think of retiring.

As if seeing what Wei Xun was thinking in his heart, Guardiola continued, "Wei, before we came to Notts County, more or less we stopped playing for a while, although Esayas was in The youngest of us, but he is carrying such a heavy weight! The three of us, how many injuries are on our bodies, you can ask Georgia to know."

"Next season's multi-line battle, the reason why we did not retire now is to give young players time and space to grow, and second, to be ready to play when we need us. The strength of the Premier League, the UEFA Cup and even the Champions League, Compared to League One, I don’t know how much bigger it is. It is unrealistic for our old bones to participate in the game for a long time. You don’t want your head coach and assistant coach to scurry around the base on crutches every day, right? "

In fact, Pep Guardiola has said so much, and Wei Xun is not as persistent as he was at the beginning.

It is true that Dario is not young and can rest. There is still a backlog of people on the front line of Notts County; the same situation also appeared in Abelardo and Esayas, Chie Lini, Balzali, Mertesacker and even the sixteen-year-old Curtis are all waiting for the top spot.

Not to mention Guardiola. After accepting Notts County for two seasons, he played fewer and fewer games. 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 you will retire from the service with a few people in the future. It is too scary. I am young and my heart can't stand it..."

Wei Xun took a sip of the magpie tea that Guardiola handed over. There is no ice lemonade he likes here. "As for the specific retirement time of you guys, we will discuss it at the end of next season. I will not Will reject your proposal, but I have a request. You can start working as a coach after the end of next season, but as long as the team needs you to play, you must stand up!"

"Deal!"

Esayas promised to be the fastest. Wei Xun felt that his transfer method had worked, but he always felt something weird. However, he is not willing to waste time thinking about this. Taking advantage of the presence of veterans in all positions, he quickly discusses where the team should strengthen is the top priority.
