Chapter 449 United as One
In fact, Revis has only joined the Kansas City Chiefs for less than two months. He is no different from a mercenary. He is not familiar with most of the team.
And Berry?
They are strangers.
They have never trained or played together, or even formally introduced themselves. If Revis trusts and respects the defensive team captain so much, even Berry himself would probably laugh it off.
But at this moment, these circumstances did not prevent Revis from standing behind Levi.
He knows the pain of injuries, he knows the loneliness of a veteran's unyielding ambition, and he knows the bitterness of wandering between the dilemma of retiring and continuing to fight.
Revis has experienced all this and is still experiencing it.
He understands the pain that Berry is facing at this moment better than Levi and the others.
It is precisely because of this that the support from Levi and the others is even more valuable.
At that time, Revis also needed such support, but unfortunately he could not find it and could only rely on his own strength to grope forward in the darkness.
And now.
Revis looked at Levi, who was standing in front of the team with a single arrow, a little envious of Berry and a little admired of Levi——
If he could play behind such a captain, would his reputation as a thorn in the locker room be slightly different?
one. two. Three, four, five.
All the players of the Kansas City Chiefs stood behind Levi, not to mention Berry. Even Childress couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this scene.
And Levi was still determined, his bright eyes motionless under the sun.
"Also, let me tell you, what else happens next?"
"You will bandage your heels and go to Minnesota in a wheelchair to watch the Super Bowl. You will witness us winning the Super Bowl. You will be so itchy that you want to play right away, but you can only push the wheelchair while we laugh and complain, waiting to claim your own. The first championship won was over.”
"You will continue to recover, you will survive the longest, most helpless and most difficult ten months of your life, and then come back on the stage, face difficulties and challenges with us, and fight to defend your title."
"No one said it was easy, especially for a 30-year-old guy. Maybe the entire league will be bad-mouthed, and maybe no one will continue to talk about it in a few days."
"but."
“Do you still remember who was the winner of the League’s Comeback Award in the 2015 season?”
Berry was stunned——
The so-called Comeback Award is used to reward players who fell into a downturn due to various reasons but climbed back to the top. Every year, the league votes to select the winners.
In December 2014, Berry was diagnosed with lymphoma and had to miss the rest of the season and enter a long and arduous treatment process.
In 2015, Berry returned from injury. He completed a perfect season. Not only did he enter the Pro Bowl, but he also entered the All-American First Team. He won the Comeback Award that season with his undisputed performance.
It had only been three short years since that nightmare.
But now, Berry must hold his head high again and fight for his career, not only for the championship and victory, but also to step on the field again, feel the running, chasing, and impact again, and feel the adrenaline again The taste of burning.
"Eric Berry."
"That name is Eric Berry."
"If there is someone on the team who can overcome injuries and age and perform the miracle of the return of the king, I would choose Eric Berry first and foremost."
"Because he is a man who escaped from death."
"We wait for this man to once again give his all to the sport and fight for his life." "When the time comes, when we stand on the Super Bowl stage again, you give me this coin again. Trust me, It's my bet, it's mine."
Ha ha.
Barry couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
However, after laughing, the bitterness and sadness left on my tongue.
Involuntarily, Berry looked at Levi. The thoughts in his mind were surging. Unexpectedly, his nose felt a little sore and his vision blurred. This made Berry a little embarrassed. He hurriedly looked up at the sky to cover himself up and quickly changed the topic.
"You are so confident after reaching the Super Bowl? Are you sure?"
Levi nodded, "Yeah."
The clean response left Berry stunned.
Not only him, but all the other players also looked at Levi blankly.
Levi showed a smile, "If there is only one person in the world who believes that we can reach the Super Bowl, it should be ourselves."
"Even if everyone is against us, we should believe in ourselves."
"I don't read the news, and I don't know if people support the Philadelphia Eagles or us more; but in my opinion, we are our biggest supporters, we believe we can win, we believe we can fight to the end, and we believe we are facing We can fight against any difficulty until the last second, and we believe that the story of the Kansas Chiefs is not over yet.”
"So, Eric, come and watch the battle and fight with us."
Berry:…
Berry didn't expect that he was in such a mess. The words were already on his lips, but he was choked with sobs. The warmth in his eyes surged up, and he almost couldn't control it. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes in a hurry. He muttered and tried to explain, but he couldn't understand clearly.
Houston noticed and complained mercilessly, "Someone said that the most annoying thing in the world is a person who moans and cries."
Ha ha.
Amid the laughter, Berry quickly wiped the remaining embarrassment on his cheeks and shouted to Houston, "Get out."
Houston has also regained his sense. Levi has shouldered the responsibility of captain. He has no reason to undermine it. "The matter is settled like this. If anyone is prepared to object, I don't want to hear it. You all get out."
Hahaha, bursts of laughter.
Revis didn't expect that he would actually like Kansas City.
Revis came from the New York Jets and later went back again, but he never got the respect he earned in the New York Jets. The turmoil in the locker room and the chaos in the management made them fall into a whirlpool of infighting day and night. , even if the New York Jets gave him everything he has now, he has never really liked this team.
Later, he moved to the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers respectively. The former gave him the only Super Bowl championship ring in his career, but he did not like Belichick's meticulous military style; while the latter was purely a hire. Bing left after just one season.
Although people say Revis was one of the top cornerbacks of the second decade of the 21st century, he never found his team.
Revis himself did not expect that he would actually feel the warmth of belonging in the Kansas City Chiefs.
So, is this real? Or have you become weak as you age?
However, Revis admitted that looking at the scene in front of him, he did find a peace that had not appeared in the past ten years.
There were still some tears in Berry's eyes, and he looked at Levi through the tears. Levi looked at Berry with firm and bright eyes, showing his belief.
Slowly, Berry closed his palms and clenched the coin again, and then clenched it again:
This time, he would not miss the promise again.
