Chapter 2007 From now on you start

Nestor Farias parked the car provided to him by his club sponsors in the parking lot of the training base.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw the door of the car diagonally opposite was opened, and a person got out.

It is the team's left back Ion Martinez.

The cars of the two people are separated by a traffic lane, and they staggered a parking space from each other. Because the fronts of the cars are facing each other, the place where Farias got off the car happened to be able to directly see Ion Martinez who got off the car without any obstruction.

In turn, Ion can also see Farias.

So Farias hesitated with his hand on the door handle, and did not immediately open the door.

It seemed that he wanted to wait for Ion to leave before getting out of the car, so as to avoid embarrassment.

But he quickly dismissed the idea - why should I let him? Why should I avoid him? Am I wrong?

If it would be embarrassing to meet at this time, why couldn't it be him?

What am I afraid of?

Thinking of this, Farias opened the door and stepped out of the car.

And so he came face to face with Ion Martinez.

However, as if they didn't see each other, the two closed the door, locked the car, and walked towards the locker room of the first team at the training base.

There was no eye contact, let alone verbal communication.

In fact, the two of them were not like this at first.

After all, they are all players on the left. Whether in training or in games, they are partners and need to communicate.

But then as the team began to split, the relationship between Ion and Farias became more and more cold.

After the "Like Gate" in the middle of last week, Ion simply treated Farias as air.

This is "cold violence", which is different from directly fighting on the training ground and scolding each other in the locker room.

Some people may think that this is better than physical conflict, because it will not be caught by the media and hyped.

But the problem will not be solved because of this, but after being covered up, it will hide deeper and deeper, and accumulate more and more, waiting for a big thunder to explode in the end.

Moreover, this kind of cold violence cannot last for too long - if there is no contact, it can also be achieved on the surface "the well does not offend the river".

But how can it be possible for the same team not to contact?

You don’t have to touch them in daily life, what about training?

What about the game?

So in fact, the reasons for the poor situation of the Madrid Pirates this season are very complicated: the main lineup is aging, injuries are frequent, and the atmosphere in the team is tense...

That's why Zhang Qinghuan said that Hu Lai couldn't solve the problem of the pirates in Madrid.

The captain of the team, Ramirez, has no way to completely knead this seemingly incongruous group together, and can only maintain it without directly disintegrating it.

※※※

Before entering the locker room, Ion Martinez met the team's head coach Parotti.

"Good morning, Ettore, why are you here?" Ion greeted warmly first.

In the past, the players did not address the head coach directly, they would also use honorific titles. But later, as the relationship between the two parties became more and more harmonious, everyone also called their head coach so affectionately to show the close relationship between the two parties.

Of course, only old players do this, and those "newcomers" who have not joined the team for a few seasons still honestly call Parrotti "Mr."

"Good morning, Ion." Parrotti returned to Ion Martinez first, and then turned his gaze to Nestor Farias who was behind him, "I'm here to find Farias. "

Hearing this, Ion looked back at Farias behind him in surprise.

But he just looked at it and continued to walk until he entered the locker room.

When he pushed the door and entered, he turned his head and glanced again, and the Argentine kid was standing in front of the head coach Parotti.

※※※

"What can I do for you, Mr. Parotti?"

Both sides of the scalp were shaved and turned blue, but Farias, who had a mohawk in the center of his head, used a polite address, but his expression did not seem to respect the legendary coach of the Madrid Pirates. Impatient.

"Let's talk about it in another place." Parotti turned around and walked out after speaking as if he didn't see the expression on the young man's face.

It doesn't matter whether Farias will follow up.

Farias frowned, first glanced at the door of the dressing room, and finally followed, trailing behind Parotti, and walked out.

As soon as he walked out, he saw Hu Lai greeting Parotti.

After seeing himself, he turned around again: "Good morning, Nestor."

In the team, not everyone regards themselves as air like Ion.

Hu Lai can also be regarded as "old school", but he did not keep pace with all "old school".

Of course, the "old school" did not ask Hu Lai to agree with them.

Hu Lai has a special status in the team.

"Good morning, Hu," Farias responded.

He could treat Ion as air, but he absolutely couldn't turn a blind eye to Hu Lai.

Because Hu Lai's influence in this team is too great both on and off the court...

If Farias dares to treat Hou Lai as air, then he should really consider transferring and leaving.

"The coach is looking for that kid again."

Entering the dressing room, Ion Martinez went straight to Cardoso Tonini and whispered to him.

Tonini hummed, seemingly unconcerned.

Ion was a little anxious: "In the next game between us and Catalan United, that kid is likely to start..."

Tonini hummed again, but was busy putting muscle stickers on his thighs to avoid straining the muscles during training.

He was injured in the first three months of this season, his physical condition is not as good as before, and he has to take care of his body seriously.

After all, he was thirty-four years old.

Seeing that Tonini had no other response, Ion became anxious: "You don't want to say something?"

Tonini finally stopped what he was doing: "What are you talking about? I did not perform well in the first round. The coach will definitely consider making adjustments to the starting position. Isn't this normal?"

He didn't tell his buddy that he had decided to give up his starting job for the rest of the season.

The reason why he didn't say anything was because he was afraid of angering Ion and making him act irrationally.

Although Ion felt that what his friend said made sense, he felt somewhat discouraged by his tone...

He frowned, but didn't continue talking to Tonini.

He just thought it was a poor performance in the first round and his friend was hit.

After all, the victims in the "Like Gate" are not only the head coach Parotti, but also Cardoso Tonini. He was replaced by Farias because of his poor performance in the game. The team lost the game, and he became a punching bag for many people to vent.

※※※

Parotti did not take Farias back to his office, but stopped at the side of the training field after leaving the building where the locker room was located, turned around and said to Farias who was walking up slowly:

"In the second round against Catalan United, I will let you start."

Hearing what the coach said, Farias frowned.

Just such a decision, as for letting myself follow him here?

Just tell him at the door of the locker room and it's over...

Sure enough, Parotti didn't finish his sentence. He continued: "Not only this game, but also all the remaining games of this season, you will start."

Farias' frowned brows relaxed, his eyes slightly widened, and he looked at Parotti in surprise.

He only enjoyed this kind of treatment during the three months when Tonini was injured at the beginning of the season...

What's wrong with this now?

Can a game against Catalan change Parotti's mind?

Or is Tonini injured again?

While Farias was making various guesses in his mind, Parotti said again:

"This is the suggestion that Tonini offered to me yesterday."

Farias' eyes widened.

"For the sake of the team's overall situation, he voluntarily gave up starting all games from the next to the end of the season. So...Congratulations, Farias, you are now the main left winger of the Madrid Pirates. The next game against Catalan, I hope you can play well and help the team reverse and advance to the semi-finals."

After saying this, Parotti didn't continue to talk with Farias anymore.

After serious consideration yesterday, he has decided to change the way he deals with Farias.

No longer tell the other party the truth as "full of fatherhood" as before.

"Educating" Farias will not only fail to make the other party accept it, but will arouse the other party's rebellious psychology.

So it's better to be like this now, don't say anything superfluous, let that kid figure it out by himself.

Farias must know everything he should know.

But he just doesn't want to do it, and you can't help it.

Whether it's a man or a boy, if he doesn't think about it himself, it doesn't matter what others say or do.

After telling Farias the decision, Parotti turned around and left ~lightnovelpub.net~ and walked towards the head coach's office.

Anyway, if he loses the game against Catalan United, he may be dismissed, and naturally he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

If he didn't finish class even if he lost to Cathay United... then let's talk about it after class.

Parotti went with determination, Farias not.

He stood alone for a while, seemingly thinking about something.

In the end, he also turned around and walked back to the locker room, ready to start a day of training.

※※※

Once back in the dressing room, Farias noticed the blue muscle stickers on Tonini's thighs.

This seems to confirm his guess just now - Tonini did not compete with himself for the starting lineup, it must be because he was injured again!

Let me just say, if it wasn't for the injury of Parotti's direct lineage, how could I get the chance?

He pouted, and began to change clothes.

When he turned his back, Tonini, who had lowered his head, raised his head and cast his eyes on Farias' back.
