Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 226

When the final whistle sounded, Ann hurriedly led all the players out of the player tunnel.Russell responded at the other end, telling these players who had just retired from the field not to take anything or care about anything, just follow him and rush out.

A group of people rampaged, trotting towards the parking lot.

Along the way, Sunderland's coaching staff and players also met all the way. When the players ran all the way to the parking lot, they found that the coaching staff and most of the substitutes had already boarded a mediocre bus.There is no sign on the body of the bus, and it has a French license plate.

Within 5 minutes after the referee blew the halftime whistle, all Sunderland players had already exited the field, boarded this seemingly inconspicuous bus, and set off to leave the Parc des Princes.

After getting on the bus, Anton and the rest of the coaching staff were all on the phone non-stop. After the players who had just left the field took a break, they asked other teammates on the bench, only to find out that the bus had been arranged by the coaching staff during the intermission. Understand.At the end of the game, Anton felt that the situation on the field was not right, so he hurriedly asked everyone to get in the car in advance, make all preparations, and go as they arrive.

The players were shocked, only to find that the coaching staff was calling the fans who stayed in the Parc des Princes: Anton was constantly confirming their safety with the organizers of the Sunderland fans; Russell was urging the Paris police and The British consulate guarantees the safety of fans watching away games.After about seven or eight minutes, Anton and Russell turned off the line one after another and looked at each other.Russell wiped his sweat, while Anton sighed and said, "It's dangerous... But everyone is safe now."

They finally came out of the Parc des Princes safely.

Although it was rather embarrassing to leave, but thinking about it carefully, they didn't seem to have lost anything. On the contrary, the result of this game was not bad.

Sunderland's captain Garner looked very confused. He scratched his head and said, "I've never been so embarrassed..."

When they left the field, they neither exchanged jerseys with their opponents nor thanked the fans of the team who came to watch the game from afar. They had no time to do anything.

The players on the field were still in a daze, they didn't slow down, they looked at each other.In the end, it was Eriksson who couldn't hold back anymore and asked Anton: "Coach, what is our final score?"

The tension and worries of these players occupied most of their attention at the last moment, and they didn't even have time to care about the final result of the game.

So Anton laughed out loud and said, "4 to 4, lads, well done!"

Playing in this state of mind, I fell behind a few times, tried to equalize, and finally managed to keep the goal under siege. I have to say that his players are really tough, and it seems that today's tactics have also paid off .

Pickford should be the one who was the most frightened: the first fireworks fell near the goal he was guarding earlier; if he hadn't run with Hummels later, he might have been caught up by the fireworks.

But this kid has always been a careless master, and now he is only thinking about other things, and asked Anton loudly in the car: "Boss, in my locker There is also a spare pair of goalkeeper gloves, maybe they can be used in the next game against Liverpool, do you think they can send it to us?"

At this time, Russell laughed loudly: "Silly boy, you still have the heart to worry about this!" He pointed to the backpacks on the racks of the bus, and said, "Everything you put in the locker room, we all A whole brain was brought out for you. Come, come, everyone, check to see if there is anything missing. Presumably the other party will keep it for you, and send it back later."

At this time, a player asked Anton: "How did you guess they would end up with such an infamous trick?" This kind of trick naturally refers to throwing fireworks from the stands.This kind of behavior has been banned for many years, and it is the first time for the vast majority of Sunderland players to encounter it.

Anton thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a premonition!"

These premonitions came from the fans he saw in the stands when he first entered the stadium: the hostile ones, the ones whistling and booing Sunderland's warm-up players—

At that time, Anton suddenly remembered: After they were attacked, they called temporarily to ask the Parc des Princes to strengthen the security check.This means that if some fans have completed the security check and enter the stadium, even if they bring some contraband, the stadium management staff may not be able to check it out.

As for whether the young people who attacked the Sunderland bus earlier today had any connection with those who threw fireworks at the stadium today, only God knows, the Paris police know.

At this time, the bus had completely driven out of the parking lot of the Parc des Princes, and several police cars drove out on the side of the road, honking their sirens to escort the bus.All Sunderland players breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to a safe state.

Anton felt that it was a pity: if the "firework incident" at the end hadn't happened, he might have been able to communicate with the strange old man in the stands, and even leave a contact information.

He remembers it well: Anton briefly made eye contact with the old man as he left.

Anton clearly felt that the old man was very disdainful of his decision to withdraw the team's bus at the last moment of the game.

But Anton is very fortunate now. He has a strong premonition in his heart. He doesn't know why. He just feels that if he can get away with scoring the fifth goal today and finally win Paris with a score of 5:5, then they will retreat unscathed. It may be more difficult.

Leaving in such a hurry seems to have escaped in embarrassment, but he thinks it is also a kind of victory-all the players have returned safely, and the whole team is sitting safely on the bus... As for the score, he no longer has it. I think it's that important.

The shocked Sunderland players gradually relaxed at this time, and began to appreciate the Parisian night reflected in the glass on both sides of the bus.They left from the 16th arrondissement of Paris and drove along the Seine River, farther and farther away from those famous Parisian attractions, but the bustling and elegant scene was still outside the window.

Pickford said with some regret: "I originally wanted to take a stroll in Paris tomorrow morning, but now it seems..."

He couldn't go on.

Who could have foreseen that this match would develop to such a result, why would Paris, the capital of romance, have such hostility towards people?

Captain Garner asked Anton: "Head coach, why do you say this is why the fans in Paris want to target us like this?"

Not even Sunderland's bitter rivals, Newcastle United, have ever entertained them at St James' Park like this.

Anton said: "I don't know either, I just know that we have nothing to do with Paris." We are actually two passerby teams.

Pickford clenched his fists and said: "Wait for their team to come to Sunderland next time, hehe... We must let them taste the power of our Northeast region!"

As soon as Pickford finished speaking, Anton hurriedly stopped him: "Don't do this, you must remember: football is a sport that connects people together, not a game that separates people or even hurts each other. sports."

"Oh!" Pickford nodded with his lips curled up.

But Anton knew that the kid's questions were far from finished, and there were still many pitfalls waiting for him to jump.

Sure enough, Pickford asked again: "Then coach, if football is really such a sport, why were you so anxious just now and took us out of the stadium together? Let's 'connect' with the Paris fans. Enough?"

Everyone on the bus laughed: This guy who doesn't know what is good or bad, is a good guy who gets cheap!

Anton tried his best to hold back a smile and replied: "Because most of the fans in Paris are good. You were running in a hurry and turned your back to the stands and didn't see it. But even though there was chaos on the field at that time, some Paris fans stood up, Between the fans who tried to make trouble and the Sunderland fans; there were also those who blamed and dissuaded the perpetrators who threw the fireworks down, and pressed them directly on the stands seats..."

"This world is like this. The answer seems very clear, but you can't ensure that everyone is kind. So, no matter what happens, I ask you to always ensure your own safety first, and then consider helping others. do you understand?"

"Understood!" The players nodded.

"Then head coach, do you think we need to explain all this to the Sunderland fans when we go back? So that our fans don't blame all the fans from Paris because of it?"

Anton thought to himself: That’s how it is—sometimes grievances and grievances are forged in this way. An aimless attack, arbitrary harm, coupled with the thought of retribution, it is very easy to form a grudge, but it is really difficult to resolve it.

But since the opponent attacked first, there is no need for their own fans to be holy fathers and mothers.

So he answered: "Judging from the current situation, UEFA will give Paris a corresponding punishment for this matter. I guess, the next time we play at home, the opponent should limit the number of fans who come to the Stadium of Light. "

"If a fan asks about your experience, everyone should tell the truth, don't exaggerate, and don't cover up for others, it's okay." Anton thought: In the end, Paris needs to come up with an apology first. .

In this way, under the escort of the French police sirens, this ordinary-looking tourist bus was heading for the subsea tunnel at the eastern end of the English Channel.At the tunnel entrance, they met the driver who came to pick them up.

Earlier, the Sunderland club heard that the team had been attacked, and after the bus was damaged, they sent another club bus to wait at the French entrance of the subsea tunnel, where they picked up the Sunderland team that had been escorted by the French police. one is right.In the dark night, most players felt tired and fell asleep on the slightly bumpy home bus.
