Little setbacks like this are not worth it to me!

  Hearing that head coach DeCray was going to announce his starting lineup in three days.

  Everyone held their breath.

  "Goalkeeper, Sorrentino."

  "Defenders, Frey, Andreoli, Cesar, Sardo."

  "Center, Marcolini, Fernandez, Guana, Constant."

  "Striker."

  DeCray paused slightly, but read on anyway.

  "Forward, Pelissier, Sario."

  DeCray finished reading the list.

  There was an uncharacteristic low sigh from the replacement team's side.

  The debut actually didn't have Xu Feng's name?

  Just now Xu Feng scored two beautiful goals for all to see.

  The form is obviously excellent.

  And it was Pelissier who scored both goals for the hosts.

  Shario's performance just now could only be described as average.

  Center back Cesar obviously felt sorry for Xu Feng as well.

  He didn't expect to be slotted into the starting lineup.

  Though he himself had just played hard on defense.

  Not directly opposite Pelissier himself.

  But captain Pelissier was more or less to blame himself for the two breakaways.

  Either way, if one gets into the starting lineup.

  Why can't Xu Feng, who has performed well?

  Don't say Cesar had such doubts.

  Even on the main team's side, there were players who felt sorry for Xu Feng.

  Although the crowd had some doubts about Xu Feng's defeat.

  But they also know the character of head coach DeCray.

  He has always had an absolute say in these types of setups.

  No one is allowed to disagree.

  If he rashly contradicted him, he might be punished to run a few dozen laps.

  DeCray watched with a bemused expression as the players reacted in various ways.

  He naturally knew what was going on in the minds of these players.

  After the training, the crowd dispersed.

  De Craye arranged for an interpreter to call out to Xu Feng.

  "Xu Feng, I know that you might be dissatisfied with my arrangement."

  Deklay patted Xu Feng's shoulder.

  Xu Feng, however, smiled faintly and said, "No, coach, the starting list is the result of the coaching team's research."

  "There is naturally an intention of the coaching staff on how to arrange the starting lineup, and I totally respect that."

  "Not to mention, I'm still the new guy out here."

  "There's a lack of chemistry with my teammates."

  "Whichever way you look at it, it's going to be more robust to try to start the new season with the old roster."

  "The starting position is really tempting and I'm always ready to take my time!"

  Listening to the interpreter convey Xu Feng's meaning sentence by sentence.

  DeCray was greatly surprised.

  He didn't expect Xu Feng to think that way.

  He's seen a lot of talented players.

  These players are young and famous, and their hearts are high.

  Some even demanded the promise of a starting position when they signed, right into their contract.

  Xu Feng's words just now.

  Both in the grand scheme of things and on a personal level.

  It's almost as if the emotional intelligence is pulling out all the stops to answer.

  And from Xu Feng's eyes.

  Dekrai could tell that Xu Feng was speaking from the heart and not a hypocritical spectacle.

  This state of mind.

  It's almost like he doesn't look like a young 20 year old player.

  Xu Feng hadn't expected De Crai to think so much.

  He just said what was on his mind.

  In his last life, he had hit the wall, been seriously injured, and even had his entire career ruined.

  What a pro player goes through and doesn't go through.

  It was all experienced by him.

  Xu Feng's heart had long been sharpened to be very strong.

  Nothing as trivial as making the starting roster.

  Compare it to what you've been through.

  It is indeed worthless.

  De Craig said with a bitter smile, "Xu Feng, I really don't know what to say."

  "I've thought of a lot of things to say to explain to you, to comfort you, but what you just said, honestly, I'm very touched."

  "It seems there's no point in saying all the comforting things I thought I'd say to you."

  DeCray grinned.

  "But there's another thing I meant when I didn't put you in the starting lineup."

  "You just saw the expressions on the other players' faces."

  "There are some people who sympathize with you, even on the main side there are people who feel sorry for you."

  "The pros are very cognizant of strength."

  "You showed great strength and didn't make the starting lineup."

  "Your teammates sympathize and feel sorry for you, they empathize, and mentally accept you very quickly."

  "That way, you'll fit in with the team faster."

  Xu Feng nodded his head, not realizing that head coach De Craig had this aspect in mind.

  Not bad for a veteran coach who has been leading the team for years.

  The things he considered were really comprehensive.

  "Xu Feng, get ready."

  "Against Catania, no surprise, you'll be on the bench!"

  Xu Feng nodded, "Thank you, Coach."

  Left the training ground.

  Xu Feng ran into a few of his main teammates who were preparing to leave at the gate.

  Seeing Xu Feng coming over, someone said, "Xu, you're very powerful, it's too bad that you didn't make the starting list!"

  Xu Feng smiled, "Thank you for your encouragement."

  Sure enough, it's just like what DeCray just said.

  These teammates are a lot closer to themselves.

  Only not far away, Sario and Pelissier didn't come over.

  The person Xu Feng squeezes out if he starts is inevitably Shalio.

  So the subject of starting forwards is a sensitive one for him.

  Shario and Captain Pelissier have been friends since childhood.

  Pelissier wouldn't want to see Sarrio lose his starting job either.

  So he is on the side of Shario.

  "Shario, don't worry, the league is starting, just play consistently."

  "The head coach has always been more stable, he won't take the chance of taking your starting job away at random."

  Pelissier looked at Xu Feng's back as he left and said faintly.
