Chapter 685 The team issues an ultimatum
The management said: "I don't care, you have 5 games in the next two weeks. You must win at least 4 of these 5 games for me. I only allow you to lose one game. If you continue to mess up, don’t blame me for deducting your wages. You must know that if your performance is not good in this item, I have the right to deduct your wages.”
The coach nodded helplessly and said: "But you also know that our ultimate goal is not just to enter the playoffs. With our current results, we can still enter the playoffs even if we lose all the way. But we Isn’t the ultimate goal to reach the finals? So we must pave the way for these things in advance.”
“Don’t talk to me about this nonsense. I don’t want to hear this nonsense. The only thing I know about now is these sponsors. Because all your bad games have already gone away, I finally asked my grandpa and grandma to let them watch a few more of your games. If your next performance is still like this, they may just take the money and leave. Well, who will pay for this loss?"
"Okay, I understand. I will go back and talk to the team members and let them fight hard."
After saying that, the coach left here and returned to the club. After returning to the club, everyone saw the coach's face was unhappy, and Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Coach, what did they say when I went to the management today? Did they say something about our recent poor performance."
The coach nodded and said: "Other than this, there are other things What's going on? They said that because we have played so poorly recently, several sponsors are no longer prepared to sponsor us and are ready to take the money and run away, so they gave us an ultimatum and asked us to play in the next two years. You can only lose one game in a week, otherwise your salary will be deducted."
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "It would be easy if we don't want to deduct wages. I think we can continue to play well. , we should be able to win these games, because our schedule in the next two weeks is not very difficult, they are all relatively ordinary and mediocre teams, but won't our previous efforts be in vain if we fight back? It's easy to encounter sc."
"What do you think we can do? Now they have given us an ultimatum. If we continue to be stubborn, maybe they will really do it. I’m so angry. Although they said they would deduct our wages several times before, they didn’t deduct our wages in the end, but this time I think they will really deduct our wages.”
"Just deduct it. If we get good results later, we can ask these companies and management back. I guess they will pay it back to us. They don't need this little money to deduct wages. They just want to get it back." It's just a threat to us. If we perform well and ask them for this bonus, they will agree."
The coach looked at everyone and asked: "In that case. If so, let’s all vote by a show of hands. After all, we are a big family, and I can’t have the final say on everything alone. What’s more, not everyone will agree to this matter if it involves salary deduction. "
The coach looked around and found that no one was speaking. At this time Lin Feng said.
"I think so. If you ask directly like this, even if someone disagrees, he can't say it openly. After all, everyone usually has such a good relationship, because this matter of deducting wages would betray the team. It must be a bit uncomfortable, so I think everyone should take out a piece of paper and vote anonymously."
The coach nodded and said, "This is a good idea, but you have been together for such a long time. , whose handwriting should be clearly visible, isn’t it still the same in the end?”
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "That's it. You don't need to write words on the paper. If you agree to continue to mess up this time, just draw a circle on the paper. If you don't agree, just draw a cross. In this way, no one can tell whose handwriting is drawn, but everyone draws the same pattern."
After this method was explained, everyone felt it was very good, and then the coach gave it to everyone. A piece of paper was handed out, and then everyone returned to their rooms.
After all, if you are outside, it is easy for others to peek at what you are drawing, and you can tell whether you are drawing a circle or a cross just from the movements of your hands, so this It is safer for everyone to go back to their respective rooms to vote, so that it becomes truly anonymous voting.
After a while, everyone walked out of the room and handed the folded notes to the coach. After the coach collected everyone’s notes, he opened them one by one and showed them to everyone. Look, the result surprised everyone, actually all the notes had circles on them.
It seems that even in this anonymous situation, everyone is united. If such a team cannot achieve good results in the playoffs, it is really unjustifiable. After all, They are so united.
After everyone made this decision, there was no change in the rest of the game and they continued to lose all the way.
Two weeks later, they undoubtedly lost all the games in these two weeks. At this time, the management could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts and came directly to the club. After entering, they saw that everyone was still there. Work hard, the front office said.
"You are still here training hypocritically. You work very hard during training. Why are you so bad when playing games? Didn't you take my words seriously? Didn't I tell you two? Zhou’s game is very important. Will any sponsors watch your game? Why did it end up like this?”
After seeing the management staff coming, everyone stopped training and the coach. Come over and talk to the management.
“Maybe we have been bad for too long and can’t recover for a while, so the recent games have not been very good, but I can guarantee that this time everyone is really playing seriously. But we did not win the game, which is a pity for us, but we guarantee that our performance in the playoffs will be much better than this.”
"Stop pretending to me here. I think you just didn't take what I said seriously. I told you to play the game well, but you didn't take it to heart at all. You continued to mess with me here. You I think you can play very easily in the playoffs, but have you ever thought about the pressure from the management? Now that all the sponsorships have gone, are you satisfied?"
Lin Feng stepped forward and said: "Then let's deduct wages according to the previous regulations. We did play seriously, but we did not win the game. We are also very sorry. Since we have not done what we promised the management, what should we do? Well, none of us have any complaints.”
After hearing this, the management staff said, “Do you think we really won’t deduct your wages? Even though we said we would deduct your wages several times before, But in the end we didn’t really get any deductions because we saw that you were working too hard. Other teams train until 5 or 6pm every day. You train until 12 midnight every day. I know this is of your own free will. I have worked hard, so I have never deducted your salary, but I really can’t indulge you this time.”
Lin Feng nodded and said: “We also know that it is very difficult for the management. , since this time has caused a lot of losses to the management, let it be deducted from our wages. If it is not possible, we will lower the standard of the fire. Everyone just gritted their teeth and survived this period. We will gather when the time comes. If we perform well in the competition, we will definitely find new sponsors.”
The management snorted coldly and left. After he left, everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly. At this time, the coach said.
"Be serious. The leader may not be far away yet. If I hear you guys laughing here, you will be very angry."
Lin Feng said: "If I Management staff, I have been furious for a long time. As the leader of this team, the people below do not listen to him, which has caused such a big loss to the team. We have really gone too far this time.”
< br>The coach replied: "Aren't we also doing it for the team? They always feel that some things are too risky and there is no need to take risks, but we believe in ourselves and we can definitely bring greater benefits to the team. Now Although we can’t see any benefit, they will definitely thank us for doing this.”
Lin Feng turned around and continued the training at hand, and then said: “Then continue training, everyone. Don’t show off and then take it seriously. If you lose all the way in the playoffs, it won’t look good.”
Then everyone started intense training again. Although they still lost every game in the following days, they still trained hard every day.
As the days passed, the regular season finally came to an end. At this time, Dad and his team were ranked 15th.
According to the regulations, all the top 16 teams in the league can enter the playoffs, and then start the group stage in two groups. This group stage is determined by random drawing.
After finishing the regular season, there will be 1 to 2 weeks of rest, so everyone can finally relax during this time.
Other teams are organizing team building, some are traveling, and some are drinking and singing outside. Only Lin Feng and his team are still training in the team every day and night, and do not dare to relax at all. .
On this day, Lin Feng said to the coach: "Based on our current results, we will probably play against each other directly in the second round. The current first place in the league, the current first place in the league, is also the unavoidable champion last year. Although we say we escaped I started the SC team, but it’s not very easy to beat them.”
The coach thought for a while and said: “According to the rules of the competition, the first round of the group stage is randomly drawn, and after promotion, it is the first round. The 2nd round is based on the previous regular season rankings, so as long as the 16th place behind us can enter the 2nd round, then they will play against the 1st place, and we can play against the 2nd or 3rd place. "
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "It's too difficult for you to expect them to qualify in the group stage. You have to know that this team has been at the bottom of the league in the first half of the season. Until the middle of the season, They have undergone a major overhaul and have made a slight improvement. They have just entered the playoffs in the first few games. "
The coach said: "But now the ranking has been set here. We can only hope to see if the 16th place can get out of the group stage, but even if they can't get out of the group stage, it won't be a big deal for us to prove against last year's defending champion. In this year's regular season, we are playing against them. At that time, as long as we fight seriously, we will win completely."
Lin Feng replied: "This is indeed the case, but it is very likely that they regard us as their imaginary enemy, and ordinary teams will be here. When playing against our imaginary enemy, we deliberately hide our tactics and then play poorly, so that we can relax our vigilance and wait until the playoffs to use our true strength to directly eliminate us and catch us by surprise.”
Having said this, the coach seemed to have thought of something. He picked up the mobile phone in his hand and checked all the results of the team that was destined to be the champion this season. The coach found that when they faced other teams, they had never suffered such a complete defeat. I have never lost a lot, only when I faced them I almost lost completely.
At this time, Lin Feng said: "How did you find the problem? In fact, I have already observed it. Since our team started to be at the bottom, I have been observing the first-ranked team, and I have been observing them. I also conducted a lot of investigations.
I found that they were actually very aggressive when playing against other teams, but they were timid when playing against us. It always felt like it was intentional. But there is no evidence."
The coach nodded and said: "It seems that they really regard us as a strong opponent in the playoffs, so they will retain their strength in front of us. Unexpectedly, we are amateurs. The team that came up can actually become a thorn in the side of last year's defending champion. I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Of course you should be happy, you are. I know that as the defending champion, their team has a very strong team. I heard that their team also has dedicated tactical analysts and some people who analyze other teams. Their daily job is to study the strength of other teams
<. br>
Since they can regard us as a strong enemy, it means that after analysis, they think that we are the most difficult to deal with. This also shows in disguise that we are now a very top team in this league, and even the defending champion is afraid of us. ”
