In the conference room, the other coaches also looked indignant about the injustice.
"The Nantan Middle School is shameless. They don’t visit us when our team is strong. They challenge us when we are transitioning."
"We should just ignore them, in my opinion. We can refuse whatever friendly match they propose."
"Refusing is not an option. We are a provincial team, after all. They are just a high school. If we refuse their challenge in our own house, then we have already lost! Then rumor will get around that our provincial youth team doesn’t even have the guts to compete!"
"Right. We are sports professionals. Surrendering without a battle is worse than losing a battle. So we must participate in this match!"
The coaches in the conference were busy expressing their own opinions. As a newcomer, Dai Li did not have enough seniority to interrupt them. He sat on the side in silence.
