Chapter 2009 Good news? bad news?
"This is good news!"
Agent Augusto Ayala was excited over the phone after hearing that Farias would start the rest of the season.
"This shows that either Parotti has finally bowed his head, or that he may not be able to coach until the end of the season... Either way, it's a good thing for you!"
"But Parotti told me that it was because Tonini offered to let me start..." Farias frowned, and there was no happy look on his face, and some were only puzzled. "Since he's not injured and he's looked good in training...why would he give me the starting line-up?"
"Maybe it's because you've been scolded too much and can't bear the pressure?" Ayala guessed.
Farias shook his head: "He was talking and laughing with everyone else today, it doesn't look like he's under too much pressure at all..."
Ayala was unwilling to continue playing the "you ask me to guess" game, which is meaningless, so he turned to Farias and said: "Whatever the reason? You are starting now anyway. Don't think about it Distract yourself with the mess. Next, put on a better performance, impress Parotti's potential successor, and then the initiative is in our hands!"
Farias agreed to his agent, but after hanging up the phone, he was still lost in thought.
He remembered what coach Parotti said to himself:
"For the overall consideration of the team, he voluntarily gave up starting all games from the next to the end of the season."
Considering the overall situation of the team?
Considering the overall situation of the team, can you not even start the game?
If the form is good and there is no injury, why not fight?
Isn't it really for the overall situation of the team to let the one who is in better condition and more capable play?
Although Farias' dream is to play the main starting force in the Madrid Pirates, and now it seems that he has got his wish, but he is not happy at all in his heart.
Because of Tonini's performance in training today, Farias always felt that the starting lineup was not won by himself, but by Tonini.
He gave it up to himself not because he felt that his strength was not as good as his own, but because he didn't want to fight with him any longer, because he had a "sense of superiority" that he didn't want to be on the same level as himself...
This instead made Farias feel slighted.
Just wait, I will prove in tomorrow's game that this starting position is what I competed for! Rather than from other people's charity!
Just as Farias was swearing secretly, someone knocked on the door.
The hasty knock on the door seemed to indicate that the people outside were looking for him urgently.
He got up to open the door, and the team's right back Ettore Navarro squeezed in.
After Farias closed the door, he lowered his voice and asked, "Have you read the news, Nestor?"
"What news? I didn't read it." Farias looked confused.
Navarro unlocked his phone and handed it to him: "Look."
Farias took the phone, which was the home page of the official Twitter account of "Mundo Deportivo".
The latest development is an alert:
"#帕罗迪下及很刚#Hiro Gutierrez's agent admitted that he was contacted by the Pirates of Madrid to ask if he was interested in taking over the team. According to sources, Ettore Parotti will be at the Sacked after the Catalan game - if his team is knocked out."
Farias returned the phone to Navarro, and said with no expression on his face: "It's no secret, if you are eliminated by Catalan in the Champions League, the head coach is indeed very likely to be fired."
Navarro shook his head vigorously: "It was all rumors before, but now it has been confirmed. The club has already started contacting other coaches! It is said that they have not only contacted Gutierrez..."

"Tonini is obviously in a better state in training. Should we let him continue to start? And Tonini's contribution to defense is much greater than Farias..."
In Parotti's room, the coaching staff gathered together and were making final preparations for tomorrow night's game.
They all chatted about the situation in today's training.
After switching to the right, Tonini defended Farias very well, much to their surprise.
So some people became active and considered adjusting the starting lineup.
But Parotti dismissed their thoughts:
"You can't use the performance of a training session to draw conclusions. Tonini's performance has a special reason..."
The second assistant coach Enzo Naher nodded: "That's true. After all, he is standing opposite Farias."
Everyone laughed.
"In short, for tomorrow's game, we will line up according to the starting lineup we have decided."
As soon as Parotti finished speaking, his phone rang.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Parotti answered the call.
Then Samuel Lerey's exasperated voice came from the opposite side: "Ettore, I assure you, this is definitely not leaked by the club!"
"Ah?" Parrotti hadn't realized it yet, "What happened, Samuel?"
"Uh...you don't know yet?" Le Lei came back to his senses.
"what do you know?"
For a moment, Le Lei wanted to hang up the phone and pretend nothing happened.
But he knew very well that Parotti would find out soon.
So it's better to be proactive at this time...
So he said honestly: "The "World Sports Daily" exposed the news that we are going to find your successor. But the news did not leak from us, it was revealed to the media by Hiero Gutierrez's agent The wind...Damn it, I even told them not to tell the outside world! Damn it! We won't consider working with such dishonest people!"
"It's okay, Samuel." After hearing what happened, Parrotti turned to comfort the other party, "I also planned to tell the players about my decision after the second round of the Catalan United match—if that If I hadn't been sacked by the club at the time."
Le Lei quickly said: "Don't listen to those rumors outside, the club has not decided to fire you after being eliminated from the Champions League..."
"I know, Samuel." Parotti said calmly, "Is there anything else? The coaches are in a meeting."
Le Lei on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed, and he quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys are busy."
After hanging up the phone, Parotti looked at his colleagues, and they were also looking at himself—Parotti's mobile phone was very loud, so they heard what Le Lei said there just now.
Others used their mobile phones to search for news on the Internet.
Sure enough, I saw the news from World Sports Daily.
After Parotti finished the call, someone handed him his mobile phone and asked him to read the content on it.
After reading it, Parotti returned the phone to the other party and said at the same time: "I thought it was some new news... Isn't it obvious? If we are eliminated in the Champions League, we will be fired."
Enzo Naher said: "But on the phone, Le Rey denied it..."
"He said that the club did not decide to fire me after being eliminated from the Champions League, but the club also did not decide not to fire me after being eliminated from the Champions League." The last game of coaching the Pirates."
The first assistant coach **** Valentin frowned and said: "The key is not this, the key is the timing of the release of this news. Why did it come out on the eve of our game against Catalan United? I think the "World Sports News" this It is to shake the morale of our army."
This time Parotti's expression became a little more serious.
This is indeed a situation that cannot be ignored.
Someone asked: "Should we tell them that this is a rumor created by the Catalan media to distract us? Anyway, the club will definitely cooperate with our statement."
Everyone else thought it would work.
At the very least, let's get rid of tomorrow's game first.
But Parotti shook his head: "No matter what the result of tomorrow's game is, I will tell them the truth after the game. In this case, what's the point of cheating them before the game? Isn't it worse to let them know that they were cheated? So before tomorrow's game, I'll tell them everything."
The other coaches looked at each other in blank dismay. Now that the head coach has made a decision, they can't say anything more.

"...Since the Madrid Pirates lost 0:2 away to Catalina last week, and the Champions League promotion situation was in jeopardy, the news about Parotti's get out of class has been flying all over the sky. But those are just rumors, and the Pirates club even refuted the rumors , They did not intend to fire Parotti... Today, Hilo Gutierrez's agent broke the news, and gave the Pirates a slap in the face... It turns out that the Pirates are indeed planning to fire Parotti. According to a well-informed source, The Pirates not only found the former Manchester Athletic coach, but also other people, including Parotti’s predecessor, Bjorn Hantczek…”
Chen Xingyi transferred this news analysis to the group, and circled Hu Lai:
"Is this true, Holly?"
Before Hu Lai came out, the others jumped out.
Wang Guangwei: "It's "World Sports News" again... I remember that this newspaper played such a game before the World Cup four years ago, before our game against Spain? It suddenly broke the news before the game, and it didn't talk about martial arts, so it came to sneak attack ..."
Zhang Qinghuan: "World Sports News, it's a **** newspaper that is too hard to wipe your butt."
Xia Xiaoyu: "Hey~lightnovelpub.net~ The most successful head coach in the history of the Pirates Club, it can only end up like this in the end, it's really embarrassing..."
Hu Lai only appeared at this time: "I don't know if the club is looking for someone. But Parrotti shouldn't be in the team for long. Everyone has guessed that."
Junpei Morikawa: "It was speculation before, but now it is a real hammer?"
Hu Lai: "Maybe. The ghost knows if the "World Sports Daily" made it up. This media is very good at spreading rumors."
"Will it affect your game tomorrow?"
Hu Lai: "I don't know. Probably not?"
"should?"
"No, definitely not!" This time, Hu Lai answered more firmly.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, he saw him say again:
"There are so many problems in our team that can affect tomorrow's game, how can it be the head coach's turn to dismiss get out of class! Even if it has an impact, it doesn't matter which lice bites if there are too many lice."
Everyone: "Fuck..."
