When Reyes finally plucked up the courage to express his feelings to Chang Sheng, expressing his fear and confusion about the future game,
He originally thought that Chang Sheng would scold him, "Are you a professional player, bastard!"
But no.
Chang Sheng just put his hand on his shoulder and said gently: "I understand you, Jose."
Jose Antonio Reyes' brain stopped.
He didn't expect that he would get such a response.
When did that devilish head coach become so gentle and angelic?
For a moment, he felt that he was dreaming and had an "unreal" feeling.
"I understand you, Jose. You have just transferred from Sevilla, and it is very normal to have feelings for old friends in your heart. I also just transferred from Getafe,
I still maintain a good relationship with my friends in Getafe. We will talk on the phone. I also plan to treat them to dinner after the game when the team meets them - this is friendship. We can't
We will be teammates and colleagues for life, but we can be friends for life."
Reyes nodded vigorously.
Yes, this is what he thought, but he didn't analyze it so deeply, and he couldn't explain it so thoroughly and clearly. But he did have this idea. He played in the Sevilla youth team and youth team, and later in the first team
He has many good friends in China, but he always feels that it is awkward for him to leave Sevilla and then represent Valencia as their enemy.
"But when Valencia meets Getafe, I will never show mercy.
How my team usually wins games, I will tell them how to win Getafe. But I am an adult who is almost thirty years old, and my mind has matured. You are different, Jose. Although
You are already eighteen years old. So I don’t expect you to perform well in the weekend game. Even if you play like a piece of shit, I will not blame you. I just hope that this game can bring you
Some courage. Let you learn to face the past. Because people cannot always live in the memories of the past, no matter how beautiful those memories are. I hope you can understand this, Jose. Your talent is destined to achieve a lot.
A very high achievement. Do you have to stand still and look back when you move forward? Not only will you not be able to go far or fast, but you will also have to be careful about falling."
From Reyes' point of view, Chang Sheng always has a sullen face. Of course, there are times when he is friendly, but such times are very rare, and he would never say that to himself.
But now, Chang Sheng indeed said this to himself.
His voice was like a spring breeze, blowing through him and making him feel refreshed.
"Don't think too much, just go out and play and show your old friends the best version of you. It's that simple."
Chang Sheng squeezed Reyes' shoulder at the end: "Do you know why I brought you from Seville?"
Reyes shook his head in confusion. He really didn't know. He still doesn't know why Chang Sheng, who was so fierce in trying to cut off his leg, suddenly became interested in him.
"Because I believe you will have a bright future. A person as powerful as you can't be my opponent, he can only be my player. I don't want anyone to shovel your legs again, haha!"
Reyes was finally included in Valencia's squad against Sevilla.
The media is hyping up Reyes for facing his old club for the first time. This makes him a little nervous.
It can be clearly seen from the game.
In fact, the Sevilla fans did not boo Reyes, but his movements were a little out of shape.
Chang Sheng was watching from the sidelines... He didn't shake his head. He could only shake his head in his heart, because if he really shook his head, it might bring new pressure to Reyes.
In fact, on the court, no one can help Reyes, not even myself.
The only one who can help him is himself.
Chang Sheng feels that he has done everything he should do, and now he should be a qualified audience. When Reyes performs well, applaud him.
The first half of the game was a torment for Reyes.
Most Sevilla fans still don't have a bad feeling towards him.
But Reyes seems to be focusing on those few elements who have a bad opinion of him. Whenever he takes the ball and hears a boo, he will feel that it is directed at him.
Then my heart was in a state of chaos, and my feet were mixed with garlic.
Commentator Moeen also thought Reyes' performance was too bad.
"In the first half against Barcelona, Ibrahimovic
The poor performance delayed the team's offensive fluency. According to this standard, Reyes can be considered like this, so I think Chang should replace him at halftime."
Ibrahimovic, who was sitting on the bench with an unhappy face, naturally couldn't hear the commentator's words, but his thoughts were the same as those of commentator Moeen. That was Reyes's poor performance, and
He's not as good as me! Since I'm going to be replaced, then if you always win, you should also replace Reyes!
But what disappointed Ibrahimovic was that Chang Sheng did not replace Reyes during the halftime break, and he also encouraged Reyes with a few words and asked him to work hard in the second half.
Ibrahimovic is ready to die - should we have such double standards? Should we treat him so differently?
Chang Sheng couldn't hear his voice, and finally shook his fist at Reyes: "Think about it, Jose. You make a lot of money, you live in a villa, and you drive a limited edition luxury sports car. You
Shouldn't you go home and see your friends and tell them that you are doing well now? Also tell those who hate you that you are doing better than they think! If you do not perform well, let others see it.
If you have a bad side, then whether it is your friends or your enemies, you will only let them see your downfall. Then your friends will be heartbroken, and your enemies will applaud. Are you willing to do this?
Do you? Are you willing? So play well for me in the second half! Show your best self!"
Vicente, who was replaced by Reyes, also stood up and said to Reyes: "The coach is right, Jose! Your talent is very good. It even makes me feel jealous. Why don't you show it to them? Tell them
You can also play against them in a team like Valencia!"
Reyes has a timid and cowardly character, and was often bullied in Seville. In Valencia, many people liked his character because he did not cause trouble.
So in terms of popularity, the low-key Reyes is definitely better than the high-profile Ibrahimovic.
Even competitors came out to cheer Reyes on.
The second half of the game begins.
Commentator Moeen was surprised that Chang Sheng didn't replace Reyes...
"This is unscientific... Why didn't Chang replace Reyes? Reyes' performance in the first half was very poor. Valencia's offense on the left was almost paralyzed in the first half, which was greatly related to his sleepwalking performance.
The relationship...Valencia was unable to break the deadlock in the first half. Maybe it has something to do with him..."
The TV broadcast used a "you know" camera language to cleverly complain - they gave a close-up shot of Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench with a gloomy face!
But no matter how incredible it is to others, no matter how directly Ibrahimovic expresses his displeasure.
Reyes also continues to stay on the court.
Chang Sheng has no intention of replacing him.
Reyes felt that his breathing was a little heavy, no, not a little, but very, very heavy.
But luckily it was just my breathing that was heavy, not my legs.
Teammate Guardiola sent the football over.
In fact, he never wanted his teammates to pass the football to him.
Because he is afraid, he is afraid. He doesn't know what he is afraid of, but when the football rolls towards him and flies towards him, his heartbeat accelerates uncontrollably.
He felt flustered.
This is a feeling I've never felt before.
He doesn't understand why he is like this...
He has tried very hard not to think about the boos or his friends...
But why...
He didn't think about it anymore because the football had already fallen to his feet.
He is not on the wing because he has moved up to the midfield.
Sevilla defender Xavi Navarro rushed forward.
In the first half, when Reyes tried to move from the wing to the ribs or the center, he was always stubbornly blocked by Navarro. This man's defense was very fierce, even rough...
The fierce tackles again and again tripped Reyes to the ground.
In fact, Reyes did not perform well in the first half, partly because he encountered such a difficult role.
This time was no exception. He was knocked to the ground by Navarro before he could even stop the football.
The referee's whistle then sounded.
Navarro fouled and Valencia won a free kick 35 meters away from the goal in the frontcourt.
Javi Navarro didn't care about the referee's decision. When he got up, he didn't forget to glare hard at Reyes and uttered harsh words to threaten Reyes: "Go home and feed yourself."
Little furry kid!”
This is of course not a personal grudge between him and Reyes. In fact, he just transferred from Valencia B team this summer. He had no contact with Reyes at all before.
Obviously this is a tactic.
Exploit Reyes' character weaknesses. Attack him, intimidate him, and make him lose his courage.
Just like what Rondo was asked to do during the Getafe-Sevilla game.
After that game, many people seemed to think that Reyes could be stopped through intimidation.
Reyes has also been labeled as "weak" invisibly. His performance is always average when facing teams with strong defenses. Only when facing teams that will give him enough space can he be able to
Use your talents.
This is also one of the reasons why Sevilla readily sold Reyes.
Because at that time there were many voices saying that Reyes would definitely not perform well in a league like the A-League where the competition is more fierce and the fighting intensity is greater.
This game seemed to prove their assertion.
So far, Reyes has played four times as a substitute, without scoring a goal or assisting.
The performance can really only be described as mediocre, very mediocre.
Harvey Navarro had already stood up and left, without even looking at the referee who came up.
Reyes was still lying on the ground, as if he was stunned by Navarro's blow and had not yet reacted.
At this time, he heard Chang Sheng's roar from the sidelines: "Reyes! Get up! Get up, Reyes! How long are you going to lie on the ground for me!? It's just a collision!
You stand up and show me clearly, this is professional football! This is the world you will finally enter after ten years of hard training! Your opponent can kick your legs off or knock you to the ground! This is
Professional football!”
His body trembled, or... a tremor.
Chang Sheng became angry when he saw Reyes being knocked to the ground with a confused look on his face.
When he was in Getafe, he asked Rondo to foul Reyes. On the one hand, he was pursuing victory. But on the other hand, he also hoped that Reyes could see the cruelty of professional football earlier and not wait for him.
After going to the Premier League, he discovered that the defenders there could kick his legs off, and he was so frightened that he ran back to Spain crying.
But it seems that Reyes's character has not changed at all because of that incident.
Reyes, Reyes, please don't be so muddy that you can't hold up the wall, okay?
In the second half, there was an exchange of fire on the field. Reyes' side happened to be close to his coaching bench, so he suddenly rushed to the sidelines and yelled inside.
"How long are you going to hide? This is professional football! Where else can you hide? Use your brain! Use your speed, skill and flexibility to get rid of them! Your talent is what you use
Defeat your opponent, not show off! If they want to tackle your legs, break their knees! Instead of just retreating and escaping! If you don’t want to get hurt or fight, let me tell you, the best way is...
You are announcing your retirement now!"
In that area, everyone turned to look at Chang Sheng blankly, including the coach next to him. At the same time, including the players on both sides of the field, whether they were Valencia players or Sevilla players, they all turned to look at what was happening.
Sprayed with saliva, it is like a giant dragon sprayed with flames, always victorious.
They don't understand what kind of style Chang Sheng has...
But Chang Sheng doesn't care about the way these people look at him like they're crazy.
He knew that this was an excellent opportunity for Reyes. If this failed to awaken Reyes, it would be even more difficult in the future. Is it really necessary to watch him transform from a genius boy step by step?
Becoming an ordinary player? His talent that once blinded Zidane was gone with the wind. Do we have to wait for such an ending to happen again?
Chang Sheng doesn't know how many years he can coach in Valencia, but he hopes that Reyes can change under him, just like Luis Garcia did under him.
Some people's fate, even if it can only be changed by one centimeter, may be completely different in the end?
ps, it cannot be more tragic... I have been disconnected from the Internet since I woke up in the morning. I called to report repairs at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not until now that someone came to fix it.
Tietong is as bad as ever. But unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. My wife’s place is monopolized by Tietong, and Telecom cannot enter at all...
So I had to wait anxiously while typing. During this period, I kept calling and texting people to help me ask for leave and inquire about my monthly ticket status.
Thanks to Mo Mo for helping me ask for leave in the book review area, and thanks to Lao Mao for helping me write this single chapter.
Alas, at times like this, I feel that being popular is really good!
Finally, I won’t say anything else and will update quickly. I know everyone is waiting impatiently...
In order to avoid such a problem tomorrow, I will set up automatic updates before going to bed!
