Chapter 437 Become Famous Too Fast!

At the Manchester City training base, in the head coach's office, Wan Sheng was sitting in a chair thinking.

Morris stood in front of Wan Sheng.

Although he was about the same age as Wan Sheng, Maurice was a little timid under those staring eyes. He didn't know what the coach was going to do, so he lowered his head unconsciously.

The office was quiet for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little frozen.

Morris felt that every minute and second passed slowly, and he didn't know how long it took. Wan Sheng finally said, "Li, do you remember a few years ago? It was when Mr. Gregory was the head coach. , I'm just the team's assistant coach?"

Hearing the sound, Maurice breathed a sigh of relief. The solemn atmosphere just now really made him a little unbearable. He nodded and said, "Remember", and then looked at Wan Sheng for unknown reasons.

Wan Sheng stood up, continued to look at Morris, and recalled, "I remember at that time, I was just an assistant coach, and the team didn't have any famous stars. You are very good, but you are only the main player of the second league team."

Morris nodded in response, his face a little puzzled.

Wan Sheng continued, "I remember Mr. Gregory had a heart attack on the field and couldn't continue to serve as the head coach, and then I took over the team. At that time, I didn't have any fame, and I didn't have any authority in the team. You, you are still only the main player of the second league team, and the salary is less than 10,000 pounds."

Morris still didn't quite understand what Wan Sheng was going to say. At this moment, Wan Sheng asked, "How did you feel playing football at the time, and did you think about what you would do after retirement?"

Morris thought about it and shook his head, "I didn't think about it at the time, I just wanted to play well."

Wan Sheng nodded and continued, "I remember when I first went to Derby County, you were also injured not long after, what was it like to return to the game after that? Or will it be like this... afraid of injury?"

"Won't."

Morris said with certainty.

But then he thought back and said, "I remember... I didn't think about it that much."

"why?"

"Because..." Morris thought, "maybe because I don't have a choice? I have to play football. I don't play football and I don't know what to do, I need a life, I have a wife and kids..."

"You need to fight, don't you? Just like anyone else doing a normal job."

Morris nodded, "Yes."

"Then why are you worried now? Is it because you have a big contract, a guarantee, and a reputation?" Just as Morris was about to refute something, Wan Sheng continued, "Yes, it seems to me that In this way, you feel that your body is more important than playing a good game. Anyway, you already have a big contract, your income has increased a lot, and your fame has also gained. Even if you retire now, you don’t have to worry about work problems. Maybe many small teams will invite you. Go coaching? There are many other job opportunities, such as being a presenter, reporter, football commentator? Yes, many football-related companies will not refuse a job for an England national team player, I Is that right?"

Wan Sheng's words were like needles piercing Maurice's heart. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it, because that was what he thought in his heart.

This also best explains why he is worried about injury.

So Morris lowered his head again, he felt a little suffocated in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

Wan Sheng sighed and said, "Li, I think you've become famous too quickly."

"what?"

Morris didn't understand, he raised his head suspiciously.

Wan Sheng said, "I dare say that you are already one of the top football players in the world, no worse than anyone else. Even C-Roman and Kaka are hard to compare with you..."

Hearing Wan Sheng's praise, Morris didn't feel a little proud, but he still didn't understand what the coach was going to say.

Wan Sheng stared into his eyes and continued, "But your fame is too fast, three or four years ago, you were only a main player in the second league, but now you are the top player in the world, everything about you It's too fast, maybe too simple, and your mentality hasn't adjusted yet."

"Yes, mentality. Like Gerrard, like Barack, you should know them?"

Seeing Morris nod, Wan Sheng continued, "Gerrard is very similar to Ballack, one wants to win the league title, but the team he belongs to is incapable of winning the championship, so there are frequent news of leaving the team. , one has left the team because he needs to pursue higher honors."

"The two of them are already the top players in the world. Maybe they have been famous for many years, but they are still pursuing honor. What about you, Li? Are you planning to retire at the age of 30? Are you afraid of injury?"

"Haha, if a professional player is afraid of getting hurt, what else would he play!"

Wan Sheng said and slammed down the table.

There was a loud bang, and Maurice in the town shivered.

"You have a big contract, a high income, you are the main player of the England national team, and you have won honors one by one in recent years, but do you think you have nothing to pursue?"

"No! You're too much, too much!"

Wansheng said loudly with some hatred of iron and steel, "You still have a lot of things you haven't won, such as the Golden Globe, the highest honor for professional players, Shevchenko won it, Ronaldinho won it, and you won it. , Maurice, I think you have surpassed them, why didn't you take it?"

"There are other personal honors that you don't have!"

"You have never won the Champions League. Ballack went to Chelsea for this championship. If a top player does not have this honor, it will be a huge regret!"

"You are afraid of getting hurt now. In a few years, you are not afraid of getting hurt. What else can you do? Watching others win awards?"

After Wan Sheng vented aloud, his face became a little grim. After a while, he calmed down and said seriously, "Li, you are the best, if we can win the Champions League this season, I hope you To get the highest trophy representing personal honor, do you understand what I mean?"

————

Until he left the office and returned to the training ground, Morris was still a little dazed, and he kept thinking about what Wan Sheng said to himself.

Golden Globes?

World Footballer?

He never thought about it before, he just thought he would continue to play for a few more seasons, then retire safely, and then find a stable job, be a coach, or do other jobs, but that's a long way off, at least for now. He had a good time.

But after Wan Shengyi reminded him, he suddenly realized that he really had no ambitions. He just won a big contract that he could not have imagined a few years ago, and just entered the England team and felt that he had reached the peak.

Now that he thinks about it, he feels that with his own strength, he really hopes to win the Golden Globe Award.

That is the highest honor on behalf of European professional players!

If you can win the Ballon d'Or in your career, maybe you won't regret anything in your life, right? He has a chance now, Manchester City are the best team in Europe, not even... one, and he is the best player at Manchester City.

If this season, the team can achieve the goal that the coach said, that is, to win the league championship, the Champions League championship, and the two domestic cup championships, which is equivalent to creating a glorious era, then as the team's best player , is it normal to win the Ballon d'Or?

If you have a chance, why not go for it?

After more than ten years or decades, in retrospect, this must be something to be proud of. At that time, my career will be further improved. In comparison, what is the 'injury'?

Morris figured it out.

If you want to fully recover, you can't just figure it out. It will take some time to get used to it, but after returning to the training ground, his performance has improved a lot. At least in the training game, when he was closely marked, he was not there. What cowardice.

Seeing Maurice recovering slowly, Wan Sheng also put down his worries and laughed easily.

He has a very good personal relationship with Morris, and Morris is also a player he focuses on training. He has spent a lot of thought on Morris's growth, but he doesn't want to see such a top player, just because it's ridiculous' Fear of injury', performance on the field suffers.

On March 22, the 31st round of the Premier League started, Manchester City challenged Bolton away.

Before the game, the media were analyzing the state of Manchester City and they believed that there would be no suspense in the game, because with Koppelle Ferreira, Ozil and others returning to the game, Maurice returned from injury, and Manchester City's lineup has been renewed. Ready, even in the away game, it is not difficult for them to win Bolton.

Most of the pre-match voices were about Morris, and many media were still worried about Morris's state, because Morris didn't perform very well in the last game.

But in this game, Morris' performance was obviously much better.

Although Morris didn't score or assist until the end, both of Manchester City's goals were related to him, and he also drove the overall rhythm of the team, which made Manchester City completely suppress Bolton and did not give any opponents. How many opportunities are left.

In the end, Manchester City won 3-1 away.

After the game, many media commented on the performance of the players and also talked about Morris, and believed that he had improved compared to the last game, but there were still media doubts, because compared with before the injury, Morris' performance Still a lot worse.

Wan Sheng talked about this issue after the game and said seriously, "Morris is re-adapting, and I believe he can perform well soon."

His words are the same as what he said in the previous game.

But what no one noticed was that when Wan Sheng spoke, his face was obviously confident, which was different from the last time he spoke, because now he had absolute certainty of Morris' recovery.

It was followed by a league match against Birmingham three days later.

Manchester City has already started preparing for the Champions League with AC Milan, so in this game, Wansheng rotated many players, Maurice also sat on the bench, and Ozil got the starting opportunity.

Nonetheless, there was no surprise in the game, and Manchester City finally defeated Birmingham 1-0.

Morris played 10 minutes in the second half, nothing special.

After the game, many media expressed their views on this, believing that Wansheng had lost confidence in Morris.
