Chapter 32

When Zhou Liran was asked to stay with Mourinho for a talk, Ashley remembered the invitation and did not leave first. He stood outside waiting for Zhou Liran to leave and eat together.

He didn't have to wait long, because Mourinho said a few words and came out of the locker room with Zhou Liran. Ashley walked over without thinking too much and greeted the two of them with a smile.

Ashley was smiling, but Mourinho couldn't give Ashley a smile at the moment. His tone was fierce, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ashley's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the coach was angry - but why? Ritter: Did he just talk back? Ashley didn't dare to ask, so he could only raise his hand and point at Zhou Liran, trying to save the friend he just met, "I'll wait for Ritt to go together. We agreed to go out for dinner together."

"No need to wait, let's meet again next time." Mourinho simply refused and gave his own reason, "Ritter needs to practice for a while longer."

"Ah?" Ashley didn't move, pretending not to understand Mourinho's implicit meaning of driving him away.

Zhou Liran was surprised that Ashley was "taking advantage" at this moment, but he did not go with the flow and let Ashley take him up. After all, from Mourinho's words just now, Zhou Liran already understood that it was impossible for him to leave the team and go out to eat today. If he left now, Mourinho's anger would not only not disappear, but would accumulate. Maybe by tomorrow morning, it would turn from a spark into a raging fire that could burn down the entire forest.

So Zhou Liran, who was following behind Mourinho, stuck his head out and shook his head at Ashley, made the sound of "you go first" with his mouth, then pursed his lips and stood still, pretending that nothing had happened just now.

Ashley looked at Zhou Liran with great sympathy, and then immediately ran away - Oh my God, Mr. Mourinho looked at him as if he wanted to kill him! It felt like if he had left a second later, he would have also been caught by the coach for training!

As soon as Ashley left, Zhou Liran was the only player left in the entire club. Mourinho personally stepped into the game, stood in front of the penalty area, and shot.

Mourinho was also a player when he was young. Although he was able to become a professional player thanks to his father, he had to play in the third-level league because his father was fired. Finally, due to his lack of talent, he had to choose to retire in 1987 and study coaching courses. Mourinho was not an excellent player in the past, but now he is more than qualified to be a sparring partner for Zhou Liran, right?

After all, compared to those who don't even know how to shoot, someone like Mourinho who can ensure that the ball goes towards the goal is already very good.

It’s not like Mourinho hasn’t done this before. He has served as a sparring partner in the past. However, Mourinho has not been a sparring partner for a long, long time. It's not because he has become proud after his success, but because he is not a professional sparring partner: it is obviously better to leave this kind of thing to professionals, but at this time today, they have already gone off work, so if Mourinho wants to practice more, he can only go on the field himself.

…………

For a goalkeeper, the best way to defend the goal is obviously to hold the ball shot by the opponent and not give the opponent a chance to shoot again. But in actual games, there are only a few times when a goalkeeper chooses to hug the ball throughout the game - not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't.

Not every shot will give you enough reaction time. If a large number of your players gather in front of the small penalty area, your field of vision will be extremely compressed. At this time, if a football flies out from the crowd, even if you react quickly, you can only block the football instead of holding it.

If you hold it, it means you have eaten the rubber fruit, and your arms can stretch out and easily roll up the football.

So Mourinho did not disapprove of Zhou Liran's use of this safe way of saving the ball, but he disapproved of his insistence on using this safe way of saving the ball all the time - habits are terrible, if this habit is formed, then the ball that could have been easily saved will be allowed to rush into the goal because of this habit.

Mourinho would never allow Zhou Liran to get rid of this bad habit. "Remember, every time I kick the ball at you, you must save it! If you make a mistake once, then continue practicing for another hour!"

Zhou Liran stood in front of the goal and nodded vigorously, without asking any questions that would spoil the mood, such as "Coach, how many hours do we have to practice today?"

When Mourinho began to bend down and place the footballs one by one at his feet in preparation for the next shot, Zhou Liran reached out and rubbed his cheeks hard, ready for battle.

In fact, Zhou Liran did not develop a bad habit as Mourinho said. The reason why he hugged the football was because it really hurt when it hit his face. Moreover, as the number of footballs bound to him increases, the pain caused by being hit by the football is slowly escalating, which is really in line with the setting of the "jealous" ball - he said that this is a rubbish system. It clearly states that the football is a non-living thing, but it still has to mechanically give it this characteristic that belongs only to intelligent creatures.

It was clearly my fault that I did not do a good job of quality control on the product, but System 33 is now blaming me for not binding with humans? It's so funny, who can blame him? Don’t you know how to do research before launching a product yourself?

[Host, since the launch of the love system, there has never been a host who has been bound to a non-living thing like you are now. 】

'Is it always like this? If it has always been like this, does that mean it must be like this all the time? This is obviously a loophole in your system. Not only did I not ask you for compensation, but you have been secretly blaming me these days. Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable! '

[Host, 33 cannot contact the main system now...]

It's right that you can't get in touch with him. If you could get in touch with him, he wouldn't say such things.

【Host? What does this mean? 】

"Ah..." Zhou Liran pursed his lips silently, and whispered in his heart: "What I mean is, system, you are so powerful that you can allocate any points at will, open a mall and so on, so can you give me the compensation reward first? I will pretend that I know nothing. When I die and you contact the main system, can't you report to the main system that you found this vulnerability? This is a loophole that has not been detected by the main system! I think by then you'll be able to get a promotion, a raise, and reach the top of your career because of this! '

[Host, the system detects that you are fooling around...]

'Am I not telling the truth? How can telling the truth be considered cheating? '

【But the host...】

'If what you are about to say is not an expression of approval of me, or an attempt to compensate me, then you can rest assured and shut up. '

The system shut up at this point. Zhou Liran sighed with some regret, and then couldn't help but look up at Mourinho in front of him: Why hasn't it started yet? Hasn’t the coach set up the football yet?
