As Terry drove the flaming red Red Rebel sports car to his mansion, he had just turned an intersection when a sedan followed him from afar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Terry was very sensitive to the car, and looked through the rearview mirror, just in time to see the license plate number, an old acquaintance.

"Hey, John, can you have a few words?" A shrewd man with glasses leaned out from the opposite side and asked with a smile at Terry.

The man with glasses was in the driver's seat, driving the car, and next to him sat a colleague who was taking a picture with a photo in his hand, apparently trying to capture a picture of Terry driving.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Smith, I'm still in a hurry to train!" Terry said apologetically, he didn't ask, he knew what this group of reporters wanted to ask recently, he was already a little impatient, if it weren't for Smith being an old acquaintance, it is estimated that Terry would have stepped on the deep gas pedal and rushed away, and he wouldn't have dumped him at all.

"Don't do that, John, I know, there's still more than half an hour until training, there's still a lot of time, isn't it?" Smith pleaded, "Our boss gave me an order to bring something back, otherwise I won't be able to pay the errand." ”

Seeing Smith's pleading face, Terry looked at the watch on his wrist to make sure it was timely, and sighed, "Alright then, there's a café across the street from the park, where we can talk, but only for 20 minutes." ”

"Enough, awesome, thank you, John!" Smith was overjoyed.

Terry waved his hand righteously, stepped on the deep throttle, and immediately galloped away, while Smith hurriedly drove to follow.

Blaucdale Park is located opposite the Newton Heath training base, and the Red Rebels players can often be seen here, so many fans like to come here, and couples like to come to the park and then go to the neighborhood to watch a movie, have a coffee or something.

When Terry walked into the café, he immediately became the center of attention for everyone in the shop, but everyone was used to seeing the Red Rebels players here, except for three or two fans who came forward to ask for autographs, everyone else just greeted Terry with a smile and went about their own business.

As is customary, Terry asked for a private room with Yajing, and not long after, Smith arrived.

"Alright, Smith, let's get straight to the point!" Terry waited until Smith had asked for two cups of coffee for himself and his colleagues, and the waiter went out and closed the door.

Smith immediately took out his voice recorder, and then motioned to his companion to take notes, "Well, yes, John, we want to know, for the recent selection of the captain of the Red Rebels team, the outside world is boiling, some people say that there are three factions in the Red Rebels, have you heard?" ”

Terry secretly said in his heart that sure enough, but he still patiently nodded his head.

The outside media always likes to chase after the wind, and many people are rumoring that after Beckham leaves, who will take over the captain of the Red Rebels who will become a hot potato, and someone proposed John? John Terry, who is at the heart of the team's defence and is also a homegrown player, is one of the best centre-backs in England and the world, and he has also been vice-captain for a long time.

However, some people suggested Curtis, believing that Curtis is also the best central defender in the world, and he is also the first group of players to join the team after the establishment of the Red Rebels, and he is the most direct inheritor of the spirit and will of the Red Rebels, but Terry joined the team later, and Curtis is not inferior to Terry in all aspects, except for age.

In addition to these two people, there are also people who proposed that Ronaldo, the Portuguese star who performed very well last season, be the captain of Portugal in the just-concluded European Championships, which has made it rumored that after he became the captain of Portugal, he also has ambitions for the captain of the Red Rebels, and even shouted the news of either captain's armband or leaving.

But Terry has a different view on this point.

"Actually, Smith, I've been clarifying, I swear, I'm telling the truth, within our team, there has never been any controversy about the captain's armband, we've never had an argument, and Cristiano has never said that if you don't give the captain's armband you have to transfer, never!"

Smith smiled, he naturally knew that some media deliberately made up these news, trying to use it to hype up and win some sales, but he wouldn't, because he knew that it would affect the relationship between him and Terry.

Anyone who really has access to inside information doesn't bother to do this kind of fake news, and only those who don't have inside information will pretend to be gossip all day long, and then say that according to so-and-so well-known player, reliable Red Rebels star and other ambiguous titles.

"And what do you Red Rebels think of the captain's armband?"

Terry smiled, "It's friendly, there's no argument from everyone, there's no need to argue, we'll find an opportunity in the last two days, have an internal meeting of the team, and then adopt the Crush recommendation election system, and our players will vote to elect our captain, but I'm sorry, Smith, this is a secret in our locker room, I can't reveal more." ”

"But as soon as the captain is selected, it will definitely be announced to the public, right?" Smith laughed.

Terry nodded, "Alright, Smith, I promise, as soon as the results come out, I'll send you a text message as soon as the results come out." ”

Smith was pleased with the result, but he had more questions.

"Have you ever thought about asking for the captain's armband for the Red Rebels?"

Terry hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, if I say no, I am lying, I have never liked to lie, so I admit that in my heart, it is my honor to be the captain of a great team like the Red Rebels, and it is also the honor and pride of any professional player." ”

'When I came to Manchester in 2000, I just wanted to play professionally in the lower leagues, I never imagined that one day I would be in the national team, I could win the Premier League, I could win the European Cup, I could be one of the best centre-backs in Europe and the world.

"It's the Red Rebels who help me make progress and keep realizing my dreams, I can't hide my gratitude to the Red Rebels, I want to be able to play for this team for the rest of my life, so I also want to be the banner of this team, including being elected captain of the Red Rebels."

For a player who has been vice-captain for many years, that is not too much to say.

"What do you think about the requirements to be captain? For example, what do you think is the right thing to have? ”

Terry paused, took a sip of coffee, and then continued: "First of all, of course, it is a person who loves this team, if he has no feelings for this team, he simply does not know how to maintain the team, how to help the team, and continue to lead the team out of the difficult situation in times of crisis. ”

Smith agreed with Terry's first condition, nodded his head, and motioned for Terry to continue.

"Second, I think that if you want to be the leader of a team, you must have a sense of responsibility, work ethic, the captain is a model for the team, the goal of the fans, every word and deed represents the interests and image of the team, so the captain must be the player who can best represent the character and soul of the club."

"In the end, I think to be the captain of a team has to be mature and able to withstand all kinds of pressure, because everything in the team is closely related to him, when he is good, the fans will worship him as a hero, but when he is not good, he will become the target of all the fans, and even become the target of abuse and attacks by the fans."

"I've always thought that in England, the fans still treat the players of their beloved teams with a lot of respect, so they treat the captain of the team with a lot of respect, unlike abroad, such as the Spanish team, their fans are lacking in respect for the players, and they are too demanding."

"Even so, if you want to be the captain of a team, you must have a deep understanding of the spirit and heritage of this team, and deeply love this city, love this team, and love this group of fans, otherwise, it is impossible to withstand the pressure from all directions, and all this is not something that ordinary players can do."

"Look at the captain of our Premier League team, Manchester United is Gary? Neville and the vice-captain are Ryan Giggs, both old courtiers, Chelsea's captain is Frank Lampard, and the vice-captain is Joe? Cole, who is also a homegrown player and old courtier, Arsenal's captain is Thierry Henry, vice captain is Hangrande, while in Spain, Barcelona is captained by Puyol, vice-captain is Xavi, Real Madrid's captain is Raul, and vice-captain is Guti. ”

"Many people say that the role of the captain has been completely weakened, but we see, from the selection of the captain of these giant teams, we can see that the captain still plays a very important and vital role, and even affects the stable operation of a team, which is a tradition, a tradition that keeps pace with the times!"

It can be seen that Terry's words are very firm, which also represents the opinion of almost everyone in the Red Rebel Army, that is, captaining is not a good job, and it is not something that anyone can do.

If you want to be a captain, you have to have a deep affection for the team and you have to be a role model for your teammates and fans.

At this point, Terry and Curtis are undoubtedly the most qualified players to become the captain of the Red Rebels, and in terms of age, Terry has the most advantage, after all, he is mature and steady, just got married last year, and has a deep affection for the Red Rebels, and many giants have failed to poach him.

Looking at the successive captains of the Red Rebels, from the first captain Karl? Marginson, to the second captain Juninho Jr., and then to the third captain David Beckham, almost all of the captains of the Red Rebels come from the midfield, and there is only one foreign player in the Red Rebels, after all, the consideration at that time was that he was the biggest player in the Red Rebels, and he was also the tactical core of the team.

In the past few years, Beckham has served as the captain of the team for 5 years, and his influence has already penetrated into all aspects of the team, which makes the team have to pay attention to the selection of captains, and it is impossible to refer to whoever is as before.

Giants have to have the rules of giants, although Mourinho can appoint any captain, but are the players convinced? What if the poor use of personnel is likely to lead to cracks within the team?

In Xiao Yu's previous life, there were many cases of disputes due to captain's problems, such as Arsenal's Gallas.

And the tradition that Terry is talking about, which also includes seniority, depending on who has the most seniority in the team, who is the captain, for example, Real Madrid, they have such a rule in the appointment of captains.

As things stand, the most senior in the team is undoubtedly Curtis, who was the first to join the team, and Patrice Evra, as well as De Rossi and Essien, who are all players who joined the team very early and grew up with the team, and according to tradition, they have the ability to become the captain of the team.

However, not everyone likes to be captain, Essien said in an interview that he never wanted to be captain, but when asked by reporters who he would pick to be captain, the Ghanaian buffalo was amusefully reticent.

Now from Terry's words, Smith heard some unheard that there was a consensus within the Red Rebels, but everything had to wait until the players met together for a boiled election and voting.

This is also a way of appointing a captain, the minority obeys the majority, after all, the captain is selected to lead the players, and even the power includes internal punishment of players, as well as responsible for the bridge of communication and contact between the team and the coaching staff and the club, etc., these are the responsibilities of the captain, so it is natural for the players themselves to choose the best.

"One last question, John!" Smith saw Terry looking at his watch and knew that the time was almost up, so he immediately asked with concern, "Then if it were up to you to choose, who would you choose to be the captain?" Is it yourself, or someone else? ”

Terry smiled and shook his head, "That's a question that many people have asked!" ”

"I know, but you haven't given a clear answer, I hope you can give me an answer, John!" Smith was struggling, and he wanted to know what Terry was thinking.

Terry hesitated, but finally replied, "If it were my choice, I would recommend Curtis!" ”

Smith was a little surprised, "Why Curtis?" ”

Terry smiled, "I'm the best partner with Curtis, I know him very well, if it was two years ago, I wouldn't have picked him, he wasn't mature enough at the time, but now he's very mature and stable, very trustworthy, and he's an open name, and he has a very good relationship with his teammates, so he's going to be a good communicator." ”

"Compared to him, I am inferior to him in many ways, for example, he can always bring blood and fighting spirit to the people around him, his hard work and professionalism are infecting the people around him all the time, although he is only 23 years old, but I believe that he will become another great captain of our team in the next ten years!"

"What about you, John?" Smith asked.

"I'm willing to accept his leadership and help him, I'm willing to be the vice-captain of the team, or even the third and fourth captains!" Terry said with certainty.

Premier League teams generally have the habit of having three captains, but some of the big clubs in Europe have elected four captains, but the Red Rebels have always had only three captains before: David Beckham, John Terry and Curtis.

Now I don't know about this election!
