Extraordinary coach

"Bolt is on the court, what can he do? Can he make up the numbers?"

"That's fine if it's Adriano. But what can Bolt do? Ask himself, what can he do?"

Don't blame the players for reacting so violently. Bolt can be said to be the weakest player in the Southampton team.

Even a random teenage kid from the echelon would be better than him.

Everyone naturally knows that Bolt is the fastest in the world. But this is football, not track and field. No matter how fast you are, it is useless without the support of your skills.

Otherwise, in this world, all those who play football are track and field athletes. There is no such thing as other types of players.

Those present, even those with some injuries, felt that it would be better for them to start than Bolt.

Sun Yi's arrangement could not convince the public.

Especially Balotelli and Rebic, the two forwards who did not get the starting lineup.

"Boss, I think I should start." Balotelli said directly.

"I also think I should start." Seeing Balotelli say this, Rebic was not willing to lag behind.

"You two, substitute." Sun Yi ignored their opinions.

"Why?" Balotelli and Rebic asked in unison, both a little unconvinced.

This is the first time the two of them are on the same side. The two of them were competitors for the center position before. The relationship is not that good.

"My arrangements naturally have my intentions. You just need to be ready to appear at any time. Okay. My arrangements will not change." Sun Yi decided to let others know that his decision cannot be changed.

"Okay." Seeing Sun Yi's determination, Balotelli and Rebic could only respond with some reluctance.

Sun Yi continued: "Next, Bednarek, Arnold, Golovin...you guys will be substitutes."

"Okay. This is the match list."

"Don't be discouraged for others who have not been included in the squad. Train hard and there will be games again in a few days, and you will all have the opportunity to play."

Everyone will have a chance to play, this is true. Even Bolt can start, and others do have a better chance.

Although the main players couldn't understand Bolt's intention of starting the game, the substitutes and fringe players were greatly encouraged.

"Okay. That's it for today. Everyone, please disperse."

Next, Sun Yi announced that the training for the day was over. Most of the players left in whispers.

But many players still find it difficult to accept such a starting lineup.

"Hey, I really don't understand the boss's arrangement."

"Why doesn't Coach Diaw object? If he objects, the boss should listen to his point."

Who says Dior doesn't object?

In fact, when Sun Yi proposed Bolt to start, Diaw immediately objected. However, after Sun Yi only mentioned "Adriano in the Nice team", Dior had nothing to say.

With the example of Adriano last year here. Dior understood that Sun Yi was not the kind to talk nonsense. As long as Sun Yi says which player is good, then this player is really good.

Just when all the players were almost gone, Bolt did not leave. He came to Sun Yi with some fear.

"Boss."

"Bolt, why don't you leave?"

"That's it. Boss, I think you should take back those words. I can't start."

"You have to be confident as a person. Show off your confidence like a flying man in Jamaica."

"I have absolute confidence in my speed. But this is football, which is different. I feel that for the sake of the team, I should not be allowed to start."

"Haha. I have confidence in your ability."

"But, I know what I'm capable of. I can't do it."

"No, Bolt. You can."

"No. I can't."

"If I say you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it."

"Uh~" Bolt suddenly stopped. He didn't know where Sun Yi had such confidence in him. The key is that he really doesn't know what ability he has to support Sun Yi's confidence.

And even saying that he can't do it is the most speechless thing he has said in his life so far. Before, he never said he couldn't do it. He was confident that he could crush anyone. That, of course, refers to sprinting.

However, looking at the reactions of his teammates just now, Bolt felt that Sun Yi was actually putting him on the fire. If he can perform well then, it won't be a big deal. If he doesn't perform well, he's doomed.

And the probability of poor performance is almost 99%.

Just when Boltton was thinking about how to persuade Sun Yi to give up the idea of ​​letting him start, Sun Yi said: "Oh, by the way. I almost forgot. I have something to give you."

"Give me something? What is it?"

Sun Yi quickly went to the sidelines and took out a pair of shin pads from his bag.

"Yeah. This is for you. You must wear it during the game."

"Oh, it's a shin guard. It's just that I already have it." Bolt took the shin guard and was speechless when he saw Sun Yi solemnly handed it to him like a treasure.

I thought it was some kind of treasure. It turns out to be this. Could this shin guard make me better in the game?

"This pair of shin guards is different. Just remember to wear them when the time comes. This is my secret weapon. It will allow you to perform well when the time comes."

"oh."

Seeing that Bolt was a little unimpressed, Sun Yi thought for a moment and simply took it back. "You'd better leave it here first. I'll give it to you on the day of the competition."

"Okay then." Bolt responded noncommittally.

"Let's go. Go home. Don't think too much. Just play well when the time comes."

"Okay."

After watching Bolt leave, Dio asked in confusion: "Sun, do you really think Bolt can do it? He doesn't even have confidence."

"Of course he can. Don't I have a secret weapon?" Sun Yi showed the shin guard in his hand.

"Is this really useful?"

"Of course. My stuff is not different from others."

"...Okay. I hope it will bring good luck again this time."

"Yes. Have confidence."

"..."

The two of them walked out of the training ground.

But when Ye Feng packed up his things and walked out of the base gate, ready to go home, he saw Adriano outside the gate.

Judging from the situation, Adriano is probably waiting for Sun Yi.

"Adriano, are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah. Yes. Boss. I'm waiting for you." Adriano nodded.

"You came to me to talk about playing?"

"Yes, boss. Nothing escapes your eyes."

"Don't worry. Just follow the training plan I gave you before. You will have a chance to play soon."

"I will. I will definitely train hard. It's just that today..."

"Are you talking about Bolt? That's my strategy. As for you, I will need you at the critical moment later."

"Really?"

"Of course, you are my ultimate secret weapon. Naturally, I will wait until the most critical moment to lay it out, to decide the outcome in one fell swoop!"

"Yeah." Seeing Sun Yi's confident look, Adriano nodded happily.

"Okay. Well~ It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's treat you to a meal. Invite your wife and children. I heard that your son plays football well."

"Yeah. That kid plays well, and he wants to become a professional player in the future."

"Yeah. Very good. Have ideals..."
