Chapter 993 Alliance Leader


Chapter 993 League Leader

Everyone believes that the Kansas Chiefs’ main task this offseason is the defensive team.

However, Vicky took one step at a time and set his sights on the offensive team early, determining the basics first, and then considering the team's strategy for continued improvement——

Of course, the defensive team also focus.

This offseason, the turmoil within the Kansas City Chiefs team far exceeded expectations.

However, as for the specific plan, Vicky was not going to give a full report to Levi. He would just stop there. He had no intention of letting Levi interfere with his work.

So Vicky changed the topic.

"How about, did the overall performance of this year's first-year students meet expectations?"

For rookies, the coaching staff is responsible for tactical and technical training, while Levi is responsible for psychological adaptation and In terms of training, after the two senior captains Houston and Berry both left the team, the heavy responsibility now falls entirely on Levi's shoulders, and Kelsey also follows Levi's lead.

Levi was about to speak when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

Levi apologized to Vicky, "Sorry, it's probably Sherlock. Today's video review of the tactical meeting..."

Vicky didn't care, waved his hands repeatedly, and motioned for Levi to answer the phone with a smile on his face. "It's okay, it's okay. Our key issues have been discussed. If I'm not satisfied, just take one million out of the contract."

A joke that shows Vicky's good mood.

Levi was about to joke with Vicki, but was slightly startled when he saw the caller ID, "Roger Goodell?"

Vicci was also full of doubts and signaled to Lee with his eyes Wei answered the phone.

"Good morning, Mr. Goodell." Levi answered the phone calmly.

"Haha, are you still Mr. even now? I thought we had reached an agreement that you are the rookie and I am Roger." Goodell's brisk voice came from the other end of the phone.

Levi took his time and said, "Rookie is a nickname, and Mr. Goodell is also a nickname. I think it's fair."

Goodell smiled directly, "It seems that today, Did everything go well during the morning training? None of the rumors circulating outside are probably true."

Levi refused to respond, even if the other party was the president of the league, "Mr. Goodell called me early in the morning. He probably wasn't concerned. The question is whether I will play in the next pre-season game?”

Goodell showed no sign of weakness, "Why not? You are the face of the league now, and everyone is eager to see you on the court, even in the preseason. You don't know, how many people are asking me if I know the inside story, and I am also I look forward to your appearance in the next game."

Levi was not fooled, "Ha. This is my honor."

Then... nothing happened.

Obviously, Levi did not believe that this was Goodell's purpose.

Goodell also realized how difficult Levi was, and he did not continue to talk in circles.

"The league cherishes every talent and pays close attention to your every move. After all, the league is your league, and the players are the main body of the league."

"You have not appeared on the stage. We are always concerned about other players. The same goes for excellent players. We all regret Andrew's turn."

The topic has surfaced.

Levi raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Vicki, "Andrew Luck?"

Vicci also showed a strange expression.

Goodell, "Yes, for such a young and talented man to choose to turn around and leave in his prime period. There is no doubt that this is a serious loss for the league."

Levi, "Of course. Every time I see a partner due to injury It's a torture when you're sick and can't run freely and enjoy the game."

Goodell, "Can you tell the media?"

Levi, "Well. ?"

Goodell nodded, "Yes, just like what you said to LeVeon Bell last season."

To be honest, Levi didn't figure out what Goodell meant for a while -

What does Luck's retirement have to do with him?

They are not teammates or friends. But now, Levi finally understood.

Luck announced his retirement without warning, triggering a seismic reaction throughout the league. The bustling controversy surrounding Luck was endless. At the same time, the news media began to turn their attention to the league, accusing the league of unfavorable injury management, which led to players and The team must bear tremendous pressure.

Of course, Li Wei knows that the emergence of a problem is not that simple. The root causes behind it are intricate and intricate, and the alliance is just one part of it.

But this time, people need a target, and the league is the biggest target -

It's the same as the "concussion"-related revelations back then.

Because of this, the alliance now needs to rely on the power of public opinion leaders to divert pressure on itself.

So, who else in the entire alliance has more appeal than Levi?

However, Levi did not want to help Goodell.

Because Levi is also a player, he needs to fight for the interests of the players. Today he helps the league, and tomorrow he may become the next Luck.

Li Wei knew this account well.

But Levi also knows that Goodell is willing to lower his profile and make the call in person. If he and the alliance confront each other head-on, it is estimated that the outcome may be a lose-lose situation.

So.

Levi made a detour, "Roger, countless people have spoken now, haven't they? I am on the cusp of the storm, and if I get involved easily, it may have the opposite effect."

Goodell knew, and Levi understood it by heart——

If "Mr. Goodell" is a nickname, then "Roger" represents the attitude of talking about business.

However, Li Wei did not agree.

This is indeed the case. Currently, Luck has become the target of public criticism. Players, coaches, and professionals inside and outside the league have come forward to express their opinions, many of which support Luck.

However, the controversy continues, and it becomes more and more intense on social networks.

The situation is beyond control.

Otherwise, Goodell would not have called Levi.

Goodell, "Rookie, what I need now is you."

Levi thought through this sentence carefully in his mind and immediately noticed something unusual, "You mean, You just need me to help change the subject?"

Goodell, "Don't say it so harshly, I just want to hear the voice of the number one person in the league."

Levi smiled, "Haha, as expected of you. It seems that I am still too immature and stepped directly into your trap."

Goodell, "You? immature? No, I believe you may be a lot A lot, but definitely not immature."

Li Wei did not continue to talk, "You should know my position. Even if I speak, I support Andrew."

Goodell, "I know, I know."

Levi, "I completely understand his decision, and I also believe in it. It’s not that simple; more importantly, I think the league needs to care.”

"As you said, players are the foundation of the league. We all know that the league is a league of capital, and we are just a group of tool people."

"You believe that without luck, other places will always There is still luck. As long as there are still people at the bottom who are struggling on the poverty line, football will never lack talents. But don’t forget, there is also basketball, baseball, and oh, ice hockey. If so, we won’t talk about it.”

“I mean, there are other professional leagues. What you need to worry about is the loss of talent, so you must take action.”

"It's not just about equipping psychologists to help players relieve mental stress; it's not just about providing more comprehensive guidance and care for physical injuries."

"No, this is far from enough."
