Chapter 260 Pure bullshit
When Don Jack walked back to the club, the afternoon training time was about to start. He took a ball and slowly carried it on the grass, adapting to the feeling of playing football, and occasionally playing tricks.
When all the players return to the court, the training in the team is still very loose. Don Jack is just chatting with his teammates and doing some simple passing training.
Even head coach Benitez did not appear on the court.
Everyone doesn't think it's strange, because one day before the game, it looks like this every time. There is only an assistant coach on the sidelines watching the training, not to lead the players to train, but more like a 'nanny' role. In the afternoon, it will be free to wait until about 4 p.m., the main Coach Benitez will appear on the court and announce tomorrow's playing list and other matters.
In such a leisurely atmosphere, time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Benitez finally appeared on the court, holding the list of the next game in his hand.
In the past, players will look forward to this moment, especially those between the main players and substitutes, but now everyone doesn't expect much, because in the past few days, they have been cooperating with the team's tactics, and everyone knows who can start the game.
There was no surprise in the result. The one who should start is still the starter, and the one who can't start is still sitting on the bench.
Although there is no good performance in two consecutive games, Don Jack is still a starter, which is not unexpected to the players, and no one will be unconvinced about this. The main reason is that Don Jack can not only score goals, but also his physical ability is also first-class in the team. Who is the best in Liverpool now? No one thinks it's Gerrard's. In terms of the physical fitness of this brunette boy's alien monster level, Gerard still belongs to the category of human beings.
"Jack, you must score tomorrow!"
"Bless you!"
"It's the same for you, Steven. You only scored two goals in the league, and you must make up for three goals in the end."
Gerrard's face turned dark: "Get out of here!"
......
In mutual blessings and jokes, this day's training is over. Don Jack knows that many people really want him to score goals. Although this will make his main position more stable, in fact, if Don Jack scores more goals, Liverpool will definitely win easily. On the contrary, it is difficult to shake his main position.
In contrast, even if it is not out of friendship, even direct competitors such as Pangler and Barosh hope that Don Jack will have more.
This is especially true of Cise.
Cise has been at the peak of his career. He has won enough personal honors in France before. For him, his trip to Liverpool is to compete for the championship honors. Of course, he hopes that the team's results are good, and he has no competitive pressure at all in Liverpool. Except for Don Jack, the team is him, even if Occasionally, he can't start, which is just the coach's rotation arrangement for him to ensure his physical fitness and condition.
※※※
The next morning, Don Jack came to the club after seven o'clock in the morning. After a few laps around the training ground of the first team, he did some warm-up exercises and went out for breakfast.
He hasn't maintained this rhythm of life for a long time.
A few days ago, Benitez's enlightening of him made him look forward to the new game. Don Jack is also very clear about the arguments of those media. He doesn't want to prove anything, but whoever is said that will be indignant. He is not a saint, and he also cares about the views of the media.
Even if it is only the usual leisure, the feeling of being praised, touted and suspected is completely different. Although there is some truth in the media that he can't integrate into the team's tactics, Jack Tang still wants to prove that he can integrate into the team and have a good performance under the team's tactics.
Liverpool's environment is really good. Some of them are used to Don Jack here, and they also want to take the team to compete for honors, instead of leaving the team sadly because the team's tactics do not match their own level. That's what losers do.
But this morning is doomed to be unquiet.
Just as Don Jack was preparing to go back to the club early after eating, he received a strange phone call. The area code on it showed that made him very confused, because he was sure that this was a call from other countries, and it was not from Germany.
Do you have any friends outside of Germany?
Is it a friend from Morocco?
Jack Don shook his head and just pressed the answer button. A middle-aged and stable tone came from the other end of the phone. He also used English, but as soon as he heard it, he knew that the other party's English pronunciation was not very standard. Occasionally, he typed a few French words. Hearing this tone, Jack Tang found a little self-confidence - in English In words.
"Hello, is this Mr. Jack?"
The name 'Mr. Jack' makes Jack Tang very funny. He prefers to be called 'Jack' or 'Mr. Lee' directly. He still replied, "I am, what can I do for you?"
The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone seemed to take a long breath and said, "Hello, I'm Le Mai."
"Le Mai?" Jack Don thought for a long time and didn't expect to have this friend, so he asked, "Hello, Mr. Lemaire, what's the matter with me?"
Lemaire was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "I'm Roger. Lemaire."
Jack Don said jokingly, "Oh, you just said it again. But what's the matter with you? I still have to train..." Naturally, the meaning of the words is that there is not so much time wasted.
Lemaire laughed at himself. He thought that if he said his name, the other party would know it, but he didn't expect that this guy had never heard his name at all. Lemaire, who was already 63 years old, had a rich life experience. Of course, he could tell that the young voice opposite was sincere.
Lemaire thought for a moment, organized the words, and then said, "Mr. Jack, I'm the current head coach of the Moroccan national team. I'm sorry to find out that you are a Moroccan player yesterday. I'm calling to invite you to join the Moroccan national team.
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Don Jack refused without thinking about it.
In fact, he has been thinking about the national team for a long time. The Moroccan national team is indeed a choice. With his ability, as long as he registers as a professional player in Morocco, he will have already entered the national team.
However, he never wanted to join the Moroccan national team.
Now England's head coach Eriksson invited himself and even made such a generous policy of winning England nationality for himself in a short time. Compared with England, Morocco's invitation is really not worth mentioning.
What's more, when it comes to patriotism, you can choose the Chinese national team. After all, the eastern country is your motherland, and entering the other national team is just for your career, so of course, you have to choose a more favorable national team.
Compared with the England team, Morocco is simply small.
Lemaire on the other end of the phone obviously did not expect that his invitation would be rejected decisively and directly. For a moment, he couldn't even believe it: how could a native Moroccan player refuse the invitation of the Moroccan national team?
Until Don Jack hung up the phone, Lemaire still couldn't believe it.
However, his idea is too 'European'.
For historical reasons, most of the locals in Morocco belong to the lowest level, and football is a completely 'higher' entertainment activity in this country. Most of the professional players in the whole country are white. Football players from the bottom are rarely exposed to football training since childhood. Its technological development is also limited.
If Lemaire goes to the slums to investigate, you can understand how the children at the bottom, who are not full of food there, especially those descendants of other countries, have a sense of identity with Morocco while suffering from racial discrimination and hardship.
If the angle of the station is different, it will naturally be different.
The same is true of Jack Don. If Jack Don has lived a good life since he was a child, even if he wanted to repay his kindness, he would join the Moroccan national team. But in fact, in his memory, his life with Li Xue when he was a child was simply a real tragedy.
Let yourself compete for the honor of Morocco?
It's pure bullshit!
