Chapter 16: Maxi Carey's worries

Madrid Pirates coach Ettore Parotti was sorting the previous training reports uploaded by the coaches on the computer in his office, and the unlocked office door was directly pushed open.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the tall Maxi Carey striding angrily.
He smiled: "Oh, Maxi, who made you so angry? Have you been besieged by the media again?"
Carey walked up to him and stared at him: "Parotti, is it true that the club spent 100 million euros to introduce that Chinese boy?"
Parotti looked at him and shook his head: "No, it's not true. It's actually 120 million euros."
Carey froze for a moment, then reacted, yelling to his head coach: "Damn! Whose idea is this? Is it Leray?"
Parotti opened his hands: "It was the idea of ​​the two of us."
Maxi Carey looked directly at Parotti, who also looked at him.
After a while, Carey frowned and asked: "Parotti, do you think the team doesn't need me anymore?"
"Why do you say that, Maxi? When you were injured before the World Cup, there was only one year left on your contract with the club. As a result, the club renewed your contract as soon as possible. If the team really didn't want you, how could you do it? Did something like that happen?" Parotti asked back.
When the US-Canada World Cup was about to open last year, the head of the Dutch national team Maxi Carey reluctantly withdrew from the World Cup because of an injury in training.
This injury allowed him to return from injury until March of this year.
The state after his injury was not as good as before, until the end of the season, he failed to return to the main starting position.
"But I can't even play the main force!"
"I told you, Maxi. After the injury, you have to change your playing style. The knee injury makes you slow down. If you still stick to the previous playing style, I really can't always reserve a starting seat for you. "Parrotti said. "It's not that your abilities have declined, but that continuing the previous style of play will greatly increase your chances of getting injured again."
"Yes, you tell me, let me transform into a shooter, play easier, and pay more attention to the efficiency of the goal. As a result, you are now planning to introduce a pure shooter? Sorry, Parotti, I did not understand your behavior. I can see that you still need me." Carey shook his head, still in a bad tone.
Parotti was not angry, but went on to explain: "This summer, we lost three strikers, Luca Bertolini, Corolla Baikal, Vasilios Merissopoulos. Bring in a striker. Isn't it normal?"
"Spent 120 million to introduce a striker with the same characteristics as me after the transition? Parrotti, ask Leray, after the players who have spent so much of the club's money, are they here to fight for me?" Carey Hummed. "Even if he agrees, does that Chinese kid agree?"
Parotti smiled: "What you said...Maxi, are you afraid of competition?"
"Don't irritate me, Parotti. I am not afraid of competition, but it is not the same as competition. To be honest, I am dissatisfied because the introduction of that Chinese kid means distrust of me. I don't like this. It’s a feeling. Maxi Carey has played in the Pirates for seven seasons. Apart from the injury last season, he has never disappointed...you can’t treat me like that!"
Maxi Carey said angrily.
"You just think that I am old, badly injured, and lose the proud speed. It is impossible to return to the past. So I found someone to replace me... I thought I deserved respect, but in fact I didn't. !"
After venting, Carey turned and left without waiting for Parrotti to say anything.
Behind him, Parotti did not say anything to stay, just sitting in his chair, quietly watching the club's top star slammed out.

A minute later, Valentine, the assistant coach of the Madrid Pirates, knocked on Parotti’s door and asked as soon as he came in, "What happened to Maxi? I ​​just met him downstairs and saw him overthrow the building. The trash can outside..."
Parotti squeezed his temple with his hand: "Let's let someone clean up..."
Then he told his assistant the original conversation he had just with Carey.
After listening, Valentine didn't know what to say: "This is really..."
Parotti himself laughed: "Actually, I can understand Maxi's feelings. Although he is a little excited, I can fully understand him. Since his return from injury, he has been under great pressure...sensitive and fragile. A little spark exploded, and the news we introduced to Hu is that spark..."
Valentin shook his head: "Fortunately, no one else saw him when he vented into the trash can, otherwise he might be on the front page of the media tomorrow. But his fierce opposition is not good news for us. As the number one star in the team, if he makes any storm, it will not be small."
"There is no way, this is Maxi Carey. He is such a person, I now hope that Hu is a good person to get along with, otherwise..."
Parotti did not go on.
If there is really no room for two tigers, then it will be really lively.

Sitting in his car, Maxi Carey was still furious despite overthrowing a trash can, so he took out his cell phone and called the agent.
As soon as the phone was connected, he asked directly: "Jim, I want to leave the pirates, do you have any way out?"
The agent on the other end, Jim Castien, was surprised: "Leave the pirate? Are you crazy, Maxi?"
"They don't respect me, should I continue to stay here?"
Castien sighed: "Is it because they spent 100 million euros to introduce Hu?"
"Not one hundred million, but one hundred and twenty million, Parotti told me personally, Jim."
"Well, it's 120 million... But if you want to leave the pirates at this time, it is not a good choice. After all, when you were injured, the club took the initiative to renew your contract. And now you have recovered from the injury, I just want to go... It's not justified by reason, Maxi." Agent Castien tried to persuade him.
"Besides, I’ll be your kind words. Maxi, based on your performance last season, there are not many suitable teams available for us to choose. You are likely to spend a summer but still not satisfied. Family."
Carey also seemed to think that the agent was right, but the idea of ​​leaving was actually impulsive.
Now he has calmed down, but he needs a step, so he asked stiffly: "Then what do you say?"
"Let's watch the changes, take one step at a time. First of all, at least you have to perform well again in Madrid Pirates..."
"Okay. But I won't apologize to Parotti."
"Of course, if you don't want to, don't go. No one can force you to do things you don't like, Maxi."
Castian even coaxed and deceived Carey finally, and he specifically asked him not to drag him when he was driving home.
After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while and called the Pirates coach Ettore Parotti.
As soon as the call was connected, he heard Parrotti’s laugh: "I knew you would call me, Jim."
"I heard that you and Maxi had a big fight, Ettore?"
"The thing is that he scolded me unilaterally, and then left after scolding."
"Maxi called me just now and said that he wants to leave the team..."
"Is it so serious?" Parrotti's exclaimed voice sounded over there.
"I was persuaded to retreat. He was just stunned for a while."
"Actually I can understand him, Jim. Since his return from injury, he has been unable to return to his pre-injury state. He has been under a lot of pressure..." Parotti said.
"Thank you for your understanding, Ettore. I hope you don't take his angry words to heart."
"What you said...I didn't take it to heart. Although I have only worked with him for two seasons, he has been the most trusted person in the Pirates for the past seven seasons and has become a symbol of this team. NS."
"That's good, that's good. In addition, Ettore, I just called to ask you, now that the pirates have signed Hu, what do you plan to do with Maxi?"
"Since you asked Jim, then I will tell you: I don't think the two of them can coexist."
"Okay, I see. Thank you, Ettore."
"You're welcome, Jim."
After hanging up the phone, Castien exhaled softly.
He got a promise from the head coach-let's be regarded as a promise.
But he hasn’t been able to tell Carey directly. It’s clear that Carey doesn’t trust Parotti, even though they have worked well together. Last season, Parotti led the team in the first season of coaching the Madrid Pirates. After winning the Europa League, Maxi Carey performed well and is the team's biggest contributor to the championship.
As Parotti said, Carey seemed to lose his confidence after a serious knee injury. Although he still said crazy things, it turned into a kind of bluff.
In the training session before the start of the World Cup, everyone did not take it seriously at the beginning, including him and Carey himself.
But when they returned to the Netherlands for a more detailed inspection, they discovered that the situation was not right.
That is definitely not a conservative treatment, the injury can be slowly healed by recuperating.
He must undergo surgery~EbookFREE.me~ The recovery after surgery is also very difficult, often repeated.
In the end, after the tormented Carey recovered from his injury, he found that he had lost one of the important abilities that he had previously relied on-speed.
In the past, Carey was known as the "flying Dutchman". This shows how fast he is. Some commentators believe that he is not running on the court, but flying at low altitude.
But a serious knee injury prevented him from changing directions and making breathtaking skills in high-speed running as before, and it also hit his confidence.
He became sensitive and vulnerable.
Jim Castien only hopes Parotti can do what he said, in any case, there is still a place for Maxi Carey in the team.
The pirate hero who played for the Madrid Pirates for seven seasons, played 299 games in all competitions and scored 221 goals for the team, should not be so easily swept out.
After all, the Madrid pirates are not impersonal Madrid kings.
