Fox in the Penalty Area

When Sophia opened her eyes from the bed, she found her husband lying next to her, but she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

She was startled and quickly stood up half of her body from the bed: "You won't just stare at the ceiling like this all night, right?"

Maxi Carey did not look away, still looking at the ceiling and said: "I woke up half an hour earlier than you..."

Hearing this, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you get up now that you're awake?"

"Thinking about something."

"You thought about it all night last night..."

"I haven't fully figured it out after thinking about it all night." Kaili said, turning to look at his wife and seeing the glimmer in her eyes, "But I suddenly figured it out just now."

Under her husband's gaze, Sophia smiled and said, "Just figure it out."

After saying that, she turned over and got up: "I'm going to make breakfast."

Kaili sat up and asked in surprise: "You don't want to ask me what I figured out?"

The wife didn't look back and just put on her clothes: "Don't ask. As long as you figure it out. As for what you think specifically, that's your business. I believe you, Maxi. You said you figured it out. ,I can rest assured that."

While talking, the clothes were already put on.

Sophia stood up, turned around and smiled at her husband:

"Anyway, it's great that you figured it out."

After saying that, she went out to prepare breakfast.

Kaili sat on the bed, watching his wife's figure disappear behind the door, and then heard her footsteps getting further away.

He was really ready to explain to his wife how he figured it out.

But the wife didn't ask.

Are you afraid that you will be embarrassed when explaining?

After all, it's hard for Maxi Carey to admit that he's no longer the special one.

Kaili himself lay on the bed with his eyes open and did some mental construction for half an hour.

※※ ※

"I think we should let Carey go have a talk with Ms. Ocampo..."

Before starting the day's training, first assistant coach Jesus Valentin put forward his own suggestions to head coach Parotti.

The full name of "Ms. Ocampo" in his mouth is Daniela Ocampo, who is the psychiatrist of the Madrid Pirates Club.

I am usually responsible for providing psychological counseling to the players.

If a player is not in good condition, or has something bothering him, is injured, etc., as long as he feels that he has a psychological problem, he will go to Ms. Ocampo, have a chat with her, follow her advice, and do some psychological work for himself. A "massage".

Professional football is placing increasing pressure on players, and the mental health issues of professional players have reached a point that cannot be ignored at all. In most European professional football clubs, psychologists are already a standard feature.

Some wealthy clubs don't even have one psychiatrist, but a whole team of psychiatrists.

Strive to provide the best psychological treatment for your players.

"It's no use, Jesus. When did Carey go to Ms. Ocampo? He didn't go there when he was seriously injured twice before. He doesn't believe that others can help him solve the problem on his own." Paro Dee shook her head and rejected the suggestion. "'Super Maxi' has super self-confidence. He thinks he can solve any problem by himself. Only cowards and brats would go to a psychiatrist..."

"I think only cowards and brats refuse to see a psychiatrist. Because they are unwilling to face their inner fragility." Valentin curled his lips.

All he had to do was say outright that Maxi Carey was a coward and a brat.

In his heart, he did think so.

A person who refuses help from others and always wants to solve everything by himself, what is he other than a brat?

A person who refuses to admit that he is old and that it will be difficult for him to return to his prime is what else but a coward?

"So now we can only watch Kyrie return from injury, but still can't help the team. And then we can only wait for him to figure it out on his own?" asked second assistant coach Enzo Nacher road.

After everyone looked at each other, they realized...it seemed like this was the only way to go.

Someone sighed softly, saying that they had no choice but to deal with this Maxi Carey.

The hero who has saved the team from fire and water countless times now seems to have become a burden that is too big to get rid of.

This fact seems cruel and inhumane.

But that's one of the truths about professional football.

Therefore, if players who play in wealthy teams cannot maintain a good enough competitive state when they get older, then they will leave the wealthy team and go to a less powerful team to continue their career. This is the case for the vast majority of players. Something we all do.

Only a handful of people can play in a wealthy team until they retire.

This actually has nothing to do with whether a club is impersonal or not. After all, professional football clubs are not welfare institutions. If a player's ability is not proportional to the salary paid to him by the club, then he must either accept a salary cut and play as a substitute in the team, or he can Break up and leave, go to a team that is willing to pay you a high salary, or a team that is willing to give you a starting position.

When Maxi Carey was seriously injured for the first time, the Madrid Pirates Club was able to give Carey a three-year contract extension as soon as possible.

But when Carey was seriously injured for the second time, the club didn't even mention the contract extension.

It is also because everyone in the club is very clear that after Kyrie was seriously injured twice in two years, he may not be able to maintain his previous strength. There is no need to continue to renew his contract. This kind of thing like continuous serious injuries and then renewing the contract is also in the world of football. It’s unique, it’s so pretentious, no one believes it and no one does it.

Now Kyrie's performance after returning from injury for the second time seems to prove the correctness of the Madrid Pirates Club's original decision.

Even if Kyrie is the hero of the Madrid Pirates, if he cannot continue to bring victory to the team and instead becomes a problem for the team... then no matter how humane the team is, they will not have a romantic relationship with the former hero.

Finally, coach Parotti changed the subject: "Let's talk about other things..."

Everyone was wise and did not continue to dwell on Kaili's matter. This is not something they can solve with just a few words here.

※※ ※

A five-on-five small-field confrontation is taking place on the training ground. The purpose of the training is to enhance the players' ability to use quick passes to get rid of such pressure after being pressed in a narrow range.

Training requires trained offensive players to have a maximum of two touches of the ball, one to stop the ball, one to pass, or to shoot.

This is actually a kind of training that simulates actual combat situations.

Because in real games, offensive players will often face pressing and containment from the defensive side.

If the offensive player adjusts too much, the ball may be intercepted by the opponent, or the opportunity to attack may be lost.

As soon as Maxi Carey moved the football away, Joaquin Vela rushed to him. Seeing that the football had been passed away, Bella stopped his foot.

This is also a normal practice in training. After all, this is training. No matter how close the training is to actual combat, it is just training. Another way of saying "close to actual combat" is "it cannot be real combat."

But after Joaquin Vela stopped his foot, he heard Kyrie sneer at him: "Why did you stop your foot? You would stop grabbing half of the ball in the game?"

Joaquin Vela looked at Kyrie in surprise, who was still saying: "Bring on the attitude you have in the game, Joaquin. Don't act like a sissy!"

Bella quickly defended: "This is just training, Maxi. And you have just recovered from your injury..."

Carey interrupted him unceremoniously: "It doesn't matter, just do it according to the competition standards. I can handle it. Even if it's a real competition, I can handle it! Don't be a mother-in-law, Joaquin!"

Bella spread her hands: "Okay, this is what you asked for, Maxi!"

"Yes, I asked for it. You can't steal the ball from my feet anyway." Kyrie shrugged and curled his lips.

"Hey!" Joaquin Bella was irritated by Carey's last words.

When the football was passed to Kyrie again, he rushed over aggressively, as if he were really facing the enemy in the game.

He didn't even show any signs of slowing down as he was about to hit Kairi.

"Hey!" Another teammate, Damian Daya, who saw this scene nearby, had to remind Bella.

But before he could say anything, Joaquin Vela's foot hit the football, or rather Kyrie's kick hit Vela's leg.

Facing Bella's rush, Kyrie was still a little panicked, as the ball was passed too hastily. The result was that he was cut off by Joaquin Bella.

Bella, who intercepted the ball, did not stop the momentum and bumped into Kyrie.

The collision caused the latter to take two steps back before he could stabilize his body.

He had just stabilized his steps when Bella's taunting followed: "Ha, Maxi, you said it's impossible for me to steal the ball from under your feet?"

Kaili twitched his lips: "It's just a fluke."

"Hey! I'll let you know next time if it was a fluke!"

※※ ※

Seeing Carey and Vela bickering, second assistant coach Enzo Naher wanted to blow the whistle to suspend training.

However, he was stopped by Parotti: "It's okay, no need to stop, that's it."

Nahel glanced at him strangely: "But I feel like there seems to be some anger between the two of them..."

"How can there be no anger at all during training? That's it, ignore them and let the training continue."

Parotti shook his head and crossed his arms.

Since the head coach said so, assistant coach Naher naturally had nothing to say and signaled for the training to continue.

※※ ※

Bella got excited after stealing the ball from Kyrie. He pointed at Kyrie and shouted loudly: "Pass the ball to Maxi and let him see how good I am!"

The teammates, who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, naturally passed the football very cooperatively.

Joaquin Vela also followed the ball and pounced on Kyrie.

Hu Lai, who was doing similar training next to him, and his teammates couldn't help but stop training and turned to look over.

For a time, Maxi Carey and Joaquin Vela became the focus of the training ground, and everyone focused on their side.

When they saw Joaquin Vela's ferocious look, they couldn't help but feel a little dazed, really thinking it was during a game.

Some people are really worried about Kyrie in their hearts, worried that he will be injured in training...

Some people couldn't help but want to remind the two sides, who were obviously a little over the top, to stop this dangerous game.

But at this moment, all of them saw Kyrie's right foot gently rub the football that rolled over.

The football passed over Bella's head.

At the same time, Kyrie jumped up to avoid Bella's rush, then passed him from the side and passed the football that was falling from the air to his teammates.

Still two touches, no violation.

Joaquin Bella, who was passed over, turned back and looked at Carey in surprise.

Kaili turned around and laughed when he saw him like this: "What's your expression, Joaquin? Isn't it incredible that you were passed over by me?"
