Chapter 1935 Am I unfit to be a captain?

After the Chinese team lost the game against the Italian team, they tidied up hastily and returned to the hotel from the game field.

What awaited them was a sumptuous meal prepared by Chef Fan and his apprentices.

Although they lost the game, they still had to eat.

And because they lost the game, Master Fan and the others tried their best to make delicious and nutritious dishes to appease the players of the national team.

But the players who returned to the hotel, sitting around the round table, were not very interested.

Many people didn't even take their chopsticks and just sat on the chairs like that.

Few people even took out their smartphones, which they never leave their hands.

As Chinese players who have experienced many battles, they seem to have anticipated what the Internet will look like at this time...

No one likes to be scolded, and it is routine to quit the net after losing the game. It's just that the players of the Chinese team seldom do such things, because the national team's performance in recent years has been obvious to all, and they can't afford to disconnect from the Internet to avoid scolding.

After defeating Spain 3-0 in the last game, the restaurant of the hotel was full of laughter and laughter, and with the steaming and fragrant food, it was just like Chinese New Year.

The first victory of the Chinese men's football team in the history of the World Cup, this celebration banquet made Master Fan's team work hard.

Everyone's feedback also made Master Fan's efforts not in vain.

Nothing makes him happier and more accomplished than smiling and watching his meals being swept away by the players.

Therefore, when he looked at the people sitting around the dining table without moving their chopsticks today, his mood sank.

This is what Qin Lin saw when he followed the coaching staff into the restaurant.

Qin Lin first glanced at Master Fan and the others behind the operating room, then at the players who were sitting silently and eating, and then said loudly:

"What are you doing? Are you not hungry? If you are not hungry, run a few more laps?"

Then he raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Dinner! What's the matter, let's talk about it after dinner!"

Hearing this order, the players of the Chinese team became a little more active, picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of them, and ate the "encouragement meal" specially prepared by Master Fan for them.

Seeing that all the players had started to eat, Qin Lin and the other coaches sat down.

Yu Jintao gave Qin Lin a look, which meant:

It has to be you, boss!

Qin Lin said in a low voice: "It's useless to talk to them so much, you have to scold them at a time like this, and I feel comfortable after scolding them..."

Yu Jintao shook his head lightly: "That depends on who is going to scold me. I definitely can't do it..."

Although everyone started to eat, the atmosphere did not get better because of it.

Most people just pick up vegetables and plan rice silently and mechanically.

After eating, they bid farewell to the coaches and Master Fan one by one in a formulaic manner, left the restaurant, and went back to their respective rooms.

In fact, it is not only the players who are depressed, but also the coaches are generally not high.

Losing is a result that no one wants to see.

After all, they have made a lot of preparations for this game, and these preparations are not for losing.

The current failure proves that their efforts are all in vain. Who can get better?

Finally, the coaches finished their meal and left.

In the restaurant, the staff began to clean up the leftovers on the table, and the cups and plates were messed up.

Master Fan and the others also started to tidy up their consoles.

While tidying up, Ah Kuan couldn't help complaining: "I thought about it, we lost 0:1 to Italy, right?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, Master Fan frowned, and said in a bad tone, "What do you want to say?"

"No, master... I just think it's not shameful to lose 0:1 to the last World Cup champion, right? Why are everyone so silent?" Ah Kuan looked at the girl who was swept into the trash by the waiter Those leftovers are somewhat heartbreaking.

Fan Fushun was also in a bad mood. He scolded: "You know what! That was before! Before losing 0:1 to Italy, the fans celebrated, okay? Are we so easy to be satisfied now? In the World Cup, losing Even if you lose, no matter who you lose to, you may go home if you lose, who wants to lose?"

Ah Kuan was scolded by the master and fell silent.

Fan Fushun didn't seem to have said enough, he continued to say:

"You should be thankful. After losing the game, these players will be so sad that they can't eat, which shows that they still have to face. Let's put it aside... That's exactly what you said, a small loss to Italy? It's all smiles, okay? ? It can be said to be a 'glorious failure'! If you lose, you will not be able to eat...This team has hope..."

His last murmur seemed to be comforting himself, but also seemed to be trying to convince himself.

"I made a big mistake."

Back in the room, after a moment of silence, Wang Guangwei suddenly said to Hu Lai.

"Are you talking about the conceded goal? In fact, you have done a good job..." Hu Lai comforted.

"No. I'm not talking about the conceded goal." Wang Guangwei shook his head and interrupted his consolation. "I'm saying I shouldn't let you try to shoot straight from the center circle off the kick-off."

"It's okay, it's just a try anyway. I didn't expect to be able to get in..." Hu Lai didn't mean to comfort Wang Guangwei, he really thought so.

"It's not a question of whether you can score goals." Wang Guangwei said seriously. "It's my mentality that is wrong. This is a World Cup group match against world champions Italy. What about me? But before the game, I asked you to try to score from the center circle... I don't think I take this game seriously at all. I didn't take the Italian opponent seriously, and even used this game as a testing ground for playing..."

Having said that, Wang Guangwei shook his head with a wry smile.

"They said don't be nervous in the World Cup, but I seemed to be too relaxed... The first World Cup was too tense, the second was too relaxed... I thought I had played in Europe for four years and had seen the world, so I had nothing to be afraid of. I won the first game so beautifully, but in the end... I just drifted away."

"If I don't let you kick-off and shoot, I won't help Albertazzi get out of his state, and then he won't be like a cheater, he can save any ball... I'm like giving him a God assists. Hu Lai, do you think... I am not suitable to be the captain?"

Hu Lai shook his head when he heard the words: "If you can tell whether you are suitable to be the captain, you are more suitable than 99.9% of the people to be the captain, Lao Wang. And this is not your problem alone , I have the same problem. I didn't take it too seriously in my heart, so as soon as you said it, I agreed. Because I wanted to try it myself, and I couldn't hold back and scored in the middle of two consecutive games. The temptation of the ball... I'm also floating."

Hearing that Hu Lai said that he was also floating, Wang Guangwei laughed for some reason: "The failure of this game is also a good thing for us, at least it has sounded a wake-up call for everyone. The World Cup is not so easy to play...Tomorrow training, I want to apologize to the whole team."

"Me too, let's be together then!"

Wang Guangwei felt better. He patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go together!"

※※※

On the training ground, the players and coaches of the Chinese national team stood in place, looking at the two people opposite them in a little surprise.

"As the captain, I failed to keep my heart after the first game. I was proud and complacent, and I didn't take the next opponent and the game seriously. I even encouraged Hu Lai to try to shoot in the middle circle before the game, which was not in the right shape at all. I didn't set an example, and I didn't take the lead...I want to sincerely apologize to everyone for my poor performance before and during the game!"

Wang Guangwei said solemnly, and really bowed to everyone after speaking.

Hu Lai also bowed along with him.

This scene really caught the players off guard.

Everyone just listened to Wang Guangwei announce that he had something to say as the captain before the training started.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the captain's apology.

It's so formal, like a student reading a self-criticism in front of the whole class on the podium...

It made the person who accepted his apology feel a little uncomfortable.

I don't know what to say, and I don't know whether to applaud, or to put on a serious face.

After Wang Guangwei "recited" his own examination, he straightened up and waited for Hu Lai beside him to "read the examination" like him.

Even if this thing is over.

Unexpectedly, after he stood up, he didn't hear any sound from the people around him.

So he turned his head curiously, and saw Hu Lai still standing there with a straight face.

He thought Hu Lai had forgotten, so he poked Hu Lai with his elbow.

Hu Lai, who was stabbed, turned to look at him: "What are you doing?"

"Say words!" Wang Guangwei reminded him in a low voice.

"Word? What kind of word?" Hu Lai was at a loss.

"Tsk, just what I just said..." Wang Guangwei frowned.

Hu Lai finally understood: "Oh oh oh..."

Then he cupped his hands: "Me too!"

"puff!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"I rely on..."

Everyone present couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere of the scene, which was a little awkward before, suddenly eased.

Yu Jintao is translating for Dillon what Wang Guangwei said just now.

Before the translation was fully finished, he heard Hu Lai's phrase "I am the same", so he laughed himself.

Dillon was no longer used for Jin Tao's translation. Seeing the scene in front of him, how could he not know that Hu Lai was playing tricks again?

He couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

He originally wanted to criticize the team's arrogance and underestimation after winning Spain before the start of training.

Unexpectedly, Wang Guangwei, as the team leader, would stand up and admit his mistake first~lightnovelpub.net~ and Hu Lai was also with him. He is obviously the best player in the team, but he has to apologize to everyone in person...

It shows that the team is aware of the existing problems.

Then he doesn't need to say anything more serious.

"It's very good." With a laugh, Dillon said to Jin Tao, "Someone can criticize and self-criticize mercilessly, while others can control the atmosphere, very good, very good."

Everyone was still laughing, including the coaches.

Wang Guangwei was blaming Hu Lai: "What the **** are you playing Taoyuan with me? You speak your own words!"

Hu Lai apologized again and again, nodded and bowed: "I'm sorry, Team Wang. I forgot when I was nervous, why don't you say it again? This time I will definitely follow your words..."

"Hole."

"ah?"

"Climb for me!" Wang Guangwei flew up and kicked Hu Lai's ass.

Everyone laughed more happily.
