Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 274

London, the mansion where the Anton family temporarily lived in South Kensington.

Bernard opened his eyes.

The room was silent, and the sound of the TV broadcast from the next room could be vaguely heard.

He let out a sigh of relief and looked around the room he was in.

The bedside light was dim, forming a round halo on the ceiling.There were elegantly colored curtains hanging in front of the tall French windows, but they were not fully drawn, and at this time some dim street lights from outside the windows leaked in.

Strange to say, Bernard can see the room he is staying in every now and then, and even see himself - all from the perspective of his brother Anton, and now he suddenly turns back to his own perspective, Bernard Nader felt rather uncomfortable.

At this moment, Bernard heard the sound of thin breathing in his ear, and he tried hard to turn his head and look to his right hand.

There is a person on his right, who should be an escort.Bernard tried his best, but he only turned his head slightly to the right, and caught a glimpse of the chestnut curly hair scattered on the bed.

"Chloe!" A gentle voice sounded in Bernard's heart.

But he couldn't make a sound, his vocal cords were rustling, and he couldn't breathe out as much as he should.

He couldn't raise his hand to caress the little sister's soft hair.He didn't even have the strength to lift his fingertips -- they were too heavy for his consciousness.

But this heaviness brought Bernard a sense of reality that he had not seen for a long time, and he couldn't help but think of what his elder brother Anton said: life has weight.

But how can he let Chloe know that the second brother who loves her is finally back?

Bernard now really wants to say hello to Chloe, stretch out his hand to straighten her hair, or quietly put colorful balloons behind her back while she is not aware of it?

Bernard thought: Sure enough, being with family members who love each other can experience real happiness.

He has indeed been away for too long, and even once forgot that he still has such a body—he was obsessed with "creating" a perfect life, but got lost in the simulator he created, and even let himself create it. The "tool" consciousness developed took advantage of its own loopholes.

Bernard let out a long breath.

If it wasn't for Anton...

He looked at the ceiling and thought: If it wasn't for his elder brother who guessed the "trigger condition" he set up at the beginning after many twists and turns, he should be trapped in that virtual reality dream forever!

When Bernard closed his eyes, everything that happened in the past few years seemed to be in front of him.

He finally came back and broke free from the shackles of the virtual world—but why did he feel that his body was so strange and disobedient?Could it be that the sudden appearance and withdrawal of the previous virtual consciousness affected Bernard's control over his own body?

He felt a little depressed for a moment - he didn't even have the ability to push Chloe or touch her hair. This world is too cruel.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chloe woke up in a daze, raised her head and glanced at Bernard, just in line with Bernard's eyes.Bernard saw those beautiful and lovely eyes suddenly opened wide——

He was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, he really didn't dare to face the little sister who had woken up.

Chloe froze, thinking that she was wrong, but seeing Bernard's whole face wrinkled and his eyes closed tightly, it was just like her who was a little clumsy in appearance and not good at expressing emotions the second brother.

Chloe's wide-open eyes were suddenly clouded with mist. She immediately supported the bed and stood up. First, she squeezed Bernard's warm palm vigorously, then turned around, walked quickly to the door of the room, and said loudly to the outside : "Dad, Mom... Bernard, Bernard is back!"

Sunderland, a seaside city in the northeast, ushered in the happiest day since entering the 21st century.After they won the Premier League championship with an absolute dark horse attitude, Sunderland won the Europa League in one fell swoop and became a veritable "European Champion".

The day after the Sunderland team rushed back from Dublin, the city held a grand parade for the entire team to celebrate the team's double this season.When the open-top float drove out of the square in front of Sunderland City Hall, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was standing at the front, held two trophies in each hand at the same time, majestic and like "God".

The two children of the Mason family were not disappointed this time. Anton and the whole team attended the float celebration together.At the end of the ceremony, the Sunderland players also invited a large group of children to the car and invited them to take photos with the float and the trophy together with the team.

Emily and Little John got their wish. What they want most is to take a photo with Anton, who they think is the most handsome.Unexpectedly, the moment the shutter was pressed, Larry broke into the camera and jumped into Emily's arms. Mr. Mason hurriedly took this commemorative photo, and planned to wash it for the siblings after it was developed. A high-definition picture, hanging in their respective bedrooms.

In addition to the children of the Mason family, those who were invited to the float were the sick children from the municipal hospital, and many of them have been discharged from the hospital.The Sunderland players shook their fists one by one, "You must come when the youth academy enrolls! Be sure to come!"

The celebration of this day ended happily, and I believe many people will remember this day forever.

At the end of the celebration and when people dispersed, Russell, the "acting" head coach of Sunderland, turned around and saw Anton talking to Martin. Show it off.

Russell suddenly felt that the smile froze on his face.

He had a premonition that what he was most worried about, the thing he was most worried about, had actually happened.

Sure enough, the next day, the Sunderland Football Club issued an official news, announcing that the former head coach Anton had officially stepped down as the head coach of Sunderland, and the position he left would be held by the current "acting" coach Russell Black.

When Russell heard the news, he never imagined that this meant that he would get a promotion and raise his salary to realize his career ideals, and he would never have to worry about mortgages again; on the contrary, when Anton came to the club to bid farewell to everyone, Russell very Cry like a dog without image.

"Don't be like this, if you continue to be so sentimental, let the players see it, you will really become 'Mother Luo'!" Anton reminded his old partner that if he continues to be so "emotional", he will be in the "little bastards" in the future. Stand up in front of you, but you really can't stand up.

Russell: ...

"Don't worry, you have already proved that you are a qualified head coach in front of the whole team and in front of all Sunderland players. Now you need to say to yourself ten times: 'I believe in myself, Sunderland will win'!"

Anton's words have always been able to confuse people's hearts. After he said it so persuasively, Russell followed up in a strange way: "I believe in myself, Sunderland will... Hey, you bastard!"

Anton laughed loudly, the brows were no longer locked as they were in the past few days.

"How is Bernard now?" Russell cheered up, changed the subject, and asked Anton with concern.

"I've woken up!" Anton said, staring into Russell's eyes, and quickly explained, "This time it's the real thing, just like a fake, my real brother Bernard."

"It's just that his physical function is not recovering very well, it's like... like a person who has been bedridden for many years, let him get up all of a sudden, get rid of the drugs and tubes used to maintain his life, But there was no rush at all. My parents were old and Chloe was still in school, so I wanted to use this time to help Bernard recover and do something we both wanted to do."

"Oh……"

"I think it's time for me to spend time with my family... When I became a football coach myself, I didn't know that my father had always been a Nottingham Forest fan..."

Russell thought: It's a good thing you didn't know it then!

He paused and asked again: "Then when will you come back? We will leave the position of head coach here to wait for you?"

Anton smiled and shook his head: "No, a healthy football club is like a well-running machine. It needs every part of the machine to be in the best condition. If any part wants to leave, the best way is of course Pick the most suitable part and fill it instead of leaving it there empty. Don't you think so?"

He raised his eyebrows while asking back, Russell was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to answer at all.

"Don't worry, I won't leave football forever." Anton patted his former partner on the shoulder vigorously before leaving, "Football is such an attractive sport, why am I reluctant to come back?"

This was the last time Russell saw Anton before the summer began.

What followed were vacations, rejoining the team, the opening of the summer window, and youth training selections... Russell was extremely busy.

But there was no news from Anton.

So Russell went to ask his wife about Chloe's situation, hoping to inquire about the movements of Anton's family, but Mrs. Black only replied with the words "the years are quiet".

At this time came the news that the Portuguese Andre Boas signed an agreement with Chelsea to enter the Blue Bridge and became the youngest head coach in the history of Stamford Bridge.Russell couldn't help scoffing at the news, thinking that if Anton was in...

Anton is here, and will stay with us at Sunderland, not Chelsea.

In this summer, the game development company under the Star Power Group has developed impressively. The first module of "Green Life" passed the internal test and was officially launched.Different from the previous test version, "Green Life" specially adds the "unrealistic" mark in the virtual reality environment, which is said to be used for "anti-addiction", reminding people: This is just a game, not real life.

In addition, "Green Life" has also developed the "Youth Training" module, which is specially used to train football skills for some young people who do not have much training conditions and lack the guidance of famous teachers-through this module, young people can be in Learn soccer skills "virtually" and bring those skills to life.

It is said that after practicing in this "youth training" module and accumulating enough comprehensive experience points, you will have the opportunity to communicate with big-name stars like Ronaldo Messi (NPC of course) and learn from these "superstars".

It is conceivable that such a simulator will be popular all over the world.

However, Starway Group announced that these modules will be completely free, and will be given to countries in Asia, Africa and other countries where football is relatively less popular.

Russell seemed to have heard about this plan, and later checked it out, and found that in the information released by Xingwei, the sponsor who led the project was named Lin.

*

Soon, the new season started, and Russell led Sunderland to play a few decent rounds. Except for losing to Barcelona in the Super Cup, the club maintained the unbeaten record of last season.

Russell's uneasy heart was finally relieved: he knew that he would face a very difficult season, but he also knew that Anton had left Sunderland a fortune, and as long as he was patient, the team could continue. Such a positive trend in front of us.

"Anton, the team will not let you down." Russell always muttered to himself, but at this moment he finally believed that even without Anton, the team could move forward logically under his leadership .

A few weeks later, the game development company under Starway Group held a press conference out of the blue, announcing the release schedule for all the modules of "Green Life".This means that the developers have completed the research and development of the "Life" module, and the complete simulator will soon enter the testing stage, and it is not far from the market.

The announcement of this news shocked the gaming world and the football world at the same time.

When the schedule was announced, the game company also invited the developer himself to meet with you.When Bernard appeared in public, he was in a wheelchair, which was said to be caused by some sequelae of a previous "serious illness".But Bernard stood up from the wheelchair amidst the strong voices of his fans, and tried to walk a few steps, telling the world that he is working hard to recover, and he has recovered [-]% to [-]%.

"This illness made me realize some very important things in life-so I strongly recommend everyone to experience the 'Life' module after the game is released. All my insights this time are condensed in that module!"

When Bernard expressed his feelings, he did not forget to promote his own hard work.

When the press conference ended, a tall young man came up and wanted to push Bernard away with his wheelchair.Unexpectedly, someone in the audience recognized him and shouted excitedly: "Wait a minute!"

"Anton, wait a minute!"

Anton turned his head and waved to those who recognized him.

"Anton, Anton, may I ask... when will you come back?"

"Will you return to Sunderland after your comeback?"

"Is there a gentleman's agreement between you and Sunderland's current coach Black?"

"..."

Anton didn't answer anything, just smiled inscrutablely, then pushed Bernard's wheelchair and pushed him away from the press conference.

The reporters all loved his unfathomable profundity, and someone immediately sent a message on his mobile phone: "The former Sunderland meritorious young marshal appeared at the press conference, and his return is suspected to be coming soon!"

After leaving the press conference, Anton looked at Bernard: "It does seem to be recovering well!"

Bernard raised the corner of his mouth, and patted the wheelchair under his arm triumphantly: "If it wasn't for fear of my mother worrying, I wouldn't have to come here."

"By the way, there is something I have always wanted to ask you." Anton remembered another thing, "The 'parallel time and space' you mentioned to Kaka and Ronaldo, you really know that in another time and space Do you know all the major events in football? Know all of them?"

Bernard looked up and watched his brother wrinkle his nose triumphantly: "What do you think?"

Anton's curiosity gradually arose: "Let's hear it!"

Bernard thought for a while, then smiled slyly, and said, "Hey, I'm afraid that if I say this, it will affect your plan to come back on time!"

Anton pushed his wheelchair, laughed and said: "Then you hold back! Even if the 'parallel time and space' slightly overlaps with this time and space? It's not our time and space anyway—it seems that you have recovered It’s almost over, my dear family members are all well, I should also be ready to face new challenges now!”

"Brother Bernard, the time for you to face your parents alone is coming again!" Anton smiled very unkindly.

He pushed Bernard away, but Bernard couldn't hold back, and kept saying: "No, Anton, let me tell you...it's not just a slight overlap, many...are direct spoilers! "

"Do you know which team you will be coaching?"

"Anton, brother, listen to me, this one will definitely suit you!"

"Thank you, I know which team I am suitable for!"

"Brother, listen to me—"

"Big brother, big brother..."

The author has something to say: At this point, I can't help but want to type the words "end of the text", but the synopsis of this chapter also says "not the ending"—is this a kind of contradiction?

But the original plan of this story is to end with this, but when I was planning this ending, I always felt that there was still a lot to say. After thinking about it, it should be that although the story is finished, Anton and His friends' lives were far from over.

In fact, there are still some content to write, but some of them are not told from the perspective of the protagonist (but they are all related to the protagonist). In order to avoid your mind, I will remind the main characters in the content summary, such as: Fanwai [Torres] ...In this way, everyone can choose to buy chapters.

There will be daily updates during the special episode, and the extra episode is not too small, it will last at least one to two weeks.

The next book is about the culinary competition "Koi is the God of Cooking", which will be published in mid-to-late October.Interested students can click to my column to add a favorite (thank you in advance!).

Also, I would like to mention the next sports article I will write-I will write a very unpopular article about the road cycling race Tour de France.I started watching the Tour de France in the summer of 14, and now I have evolved from a pure appreciation of French rural scenery films to seeing a little bit of knowledge—now I know that the Tour de France is really beautiful, and there are many skills and knowledge in it.So I dug a hole and am now sitting at the end of my column [in line] - called "My Years as a Rabbit".I have already set the posting time, and it will be posted next summer, and it will be updated between the European Cup and the Tour de France next year.At that time, I can chat with everyone about football and road cycling.If you are interested, you can also bookmark it. It will be a little short article for self-entertainment, but it should be very interesting.

Finally, I would like to thank all of you who have accompanied me until now, one by one!
