"Where did we just come from?"

Ryan tried to change the topic, but he was a little in a hurry, and then he saw that Lu Ke's meaningful eyes were slowly deepening, Ryan became more and more flustered, and in a hurry, he really found his thoughts, "Leader!" Yes, Leader! It's a big question, it's a problem for us as a team, well, let's move on to that. ”

Lu Ke didn't know Ryan's thoughts, and thought that Ryan was shy, so he didn't continue to ask, and quietly waited for Ryan's next words, "So what?" ”

After Ryan's train of thought was interrupted, he couldn't connect for a while, so he could only say again, "Sorry, to be honest, I don't know the right answer either." I only know that there is no right answer to the so-called leader, every player and every leader has his own style, you don't need to imitate them, you don't need to follow in their footsteps, the best way is to stick to yourself. ”

"Bambi, it seems to me that you've done a great job. You're leading us to victory in your way, aren't you? Ryan finally got back on track a little, and his expression became sincere again.

'We're winning, I don't know how long this winning streak will last, but I know that just two seasons ago, it wouldn't have been possible. Everything we have now has been brought by you and Hubble, so please continue to lead us forward. That's all. ”

Ryan didn't give any standard answers, but Lu Ke's mood gradually stabilized.

As Ryan said, every patient in the rehabilitation room has their own dilemma, and others can help, but at the end of the day, they need to make a breakthrough on their own. No one can complete this journey of life for themselves.

The same goes for team leaders. What he needs is not guidance, but self-assertion. Lead the team in his way. Maybe one day in the future, he will also become a template for others to look up to, maybe not, but after all, he still has to work hard to know, isn't it?

"I'll have to work hard for your date, too." After being relieved, Lu Ke said lightly, and then you could see Ryan's jaw-dropping panic, and Lu Ke's mood brightened again, "This is our agreement!" That's it. I'm a very, very committed person and you can be ready now. ”

“…… Bambi, I said...... Eh, eh, Bambi! Ryan couldn't help but stutter.

On the morning of the rest day, Lu Ke finished his unexpected hospital visit, regained his composure, completed his recovery training step by step, and then took the initiative to find Akens, Willis and Brooks, gathered together to complete the discussion, and then began to act that night.

Lu Ke and Arkens, Willis and Brooks, the four of them acted in pairs and twos, and each led the offensive and defensive teams to different bars. One by one, they visit the homes of their teammates, whether the offensive players want to or not, all of them are mandatory, and no one is missing.

Some problems arose on both sides.

In the offensive group, Moss and Crabtree refused to go, but Jean, Logan and Marcus kept coaxing, and Vernon also helped a lot, and finally brought the two men over half-pulled and half-dragged; Rupati and Boone are both light drinkers, and like Lu Ke, they rarely drink alcohol for training, so they can't take a step when they think about drinking tonight.

In the defensive group, Justin Smith simply refused to attend on the grounds of injury, and in the end it was Willis who got angry, saying that Justin could go over and drink soda, but still wanted him to go, and Justin only half-pushed and half-passed; Aldon started drinking before he even went to the bar, and after a while he got himself drunk and went crazy.

It's okay to say it's venting, it's okay to say it's a reprimand, and it's okay to talk about it...... Always, with the help of alcohol, I still hope to break down the barriers between each other, express all my thoughts and vent all my emotions.

Eventually, Justin was completely drunk and sat in front of the bar, crying and repeating, "I missed it." I really missed it. No, never again. "No matter how much you persuade you, you can't persuade it, that's real sadness.

In the end, Moss was completely drunk and got into a fight with Crabtree on the spot, and the two men threw punches at each other's stomachs, but accidentally hit each other on the cheek, and as a result, Moss's cheekbones were blue - fortunately, the black man couldn't see it, just a little red and swollen.

The next day was still a rest day, but the offensive group and the defensive group did not rest, the two sides were still separated, and for the first time they held their own tactical meetings, and the morning was recovery training, or sobering up training; In the afternoon, the game video was rewatched to re-analyze the game that had just ended.

At the end of a long day's training, the attacking and defensive players headed to the bar again.

For professional footballers, although alcohol is not a ban, it still needs to be controlled; But now is an extraordinary time, and it can only be treated specially, after the experience of the previous night, those did not resist, or chose to go together.

But unexpectedly, the attacking and defensive groups met in the same bar, "Alley of Lima".

Or, rather, it wasn't an accident: not only all the players on the 53-man squad, but also the players in the sparring team, more than 60 players completed the charter. It all looks like a premeditated move.

After a few rounds of beer, under the threading of several captains, everyone gradually talked about it.

Although there is no formal apology, it would be too hypocritical, and a toast is the best apology; Then, the awkward and jerky atmosphere seemed to slowly disappear, and the sharpness of those contradictions and conflicts seemed to slowly recede, and under the influence of alcohol, they became harmonious again.

Everything went according to plan.

The ideas of the four team leaders have finally paid off...... If only it were that simple.

By the time the team officially returned to recovery training on Wednesday, the imagined peace had arrived, but the awkward atmosphere in the dressing room was creeping through.

On the surface, the contradictions and estrangements are gone, and all the players will nod and greet each other, and there is no problem with the happy scene; But if you look closely, you can tell that something is wrong-

Everyone was too polite.

The smile is rusty and polite, the eyes are detached and perfunctory, and sometimes even reluctant to make eye contact. Originally, there was nothing special about this, and usually teammates don't look into each other's eyes, but today's deliberate avoidance is too obvious, and that kind of jerkiness breeds.

What's even more depressing and dreary is that no one jokes. Everyone silently packed up their equipment, completed their preparations, and then nodded to each other, and then left the locker room one by one as if fleeing for their lives and went to the training ground, as if they had all transformed into "training madness" Lu Ke.

Everything is so deliberate that it becomes fake.

Indeed, the players have already spoken and reconciled with each other; But...... Is it really open? In fact, they didn't make a direct and positive apology, let alone have a long talk, those contradictions still haven't been able to spread out and make it clear, after all, they are not sixteen-year-old girls, after the conflict, they hugged their head and cried to talk about everything, they have their own way of dealing with it.

The real problem is that players are real people, not cold computer data. The day before yesterday, they were still pointing at each other's noses and scolding, pouring salt on each other's wounds; And then seventy-two hours later, they went back to the days before the quarrel? As if nothing had happened?

What's more, even before the quarrel, they had small conflicts with each other, which was originally the mode of getting along between players, and now, those small trivial things can't be wantonly vented tantrums-

For example, Aldon always likes to sprinkle perfume all over the dressing room, and then every time Navoro-Bowman complains, and even has a conflict; For example, Vernon always likes to walk around without a bath towel, and people passing by say that they have spicy eyes; For another example, Logan likes to tell some vulgar jokes, and no one cheers for it, and everyone complains.

But now, all these petty fights have all been reined in, and even some innocuous contradictions and conflicts are gone, and everyone is whitewashing the peace, as if hiding their ears and stealing bells, hiding behind politeness and politeness, making them alienated.

In fact, there may be no problems between players and players, for example, Lu Ke and Aldon have already spoken, and Justin and Goodwin have also embraced reconciliation...... But the overall atmosphere in the dressing room was so discouraged that the awkward atmosphere intensified, and it seemed to be even worse than the previous one.

In the face of such a situation, Lu Ke and Willis and others are also helpless, they have done their best, things seem to have developed according to expectations, but no one expected the direction of things, and now this inexplicable situation, I don't know whether it has gotten better or worse, it really makes people laugh and cry.

However, Lu Ke also knew that the locker room issue was inherently tricky, and it was unrealistic to let fifty-three players complete a big reconciliation and write off what happened just through two drinks in two nights; Now, they can't rush and just wait quietly for the right time, one that will solve all the problems.

But the regular season schedule will not wait for anyone, let alone slow down because of the San Francisco 49ers' locker room problems, and in the blink of an eye, it seems that there is no time to breathe, another game day is coming, another away game is coming, so, what will happen this time?
