Long Pres realizes that he must return to the team.

Because there are two months left in 2007 and the last four games left in the 2007 season, if he does not return, his season will be completely reimbursed and the title of "head coach" will be in name only - of course, now it is almost done, and he feels that he has been forgotten.

After more than two months, I returned to the campus of Kansas State University and strolled on the road to the training ground, my eyes were filled with strange scenes.

"The Wildcats dominate the world!"

"Advance towards victory! Wildcats!"

"Coach Archie, thank you for bringing us light!"

"Defeat Iowa State! Go forward! Go forward again!"

"Victory belongs to us!"

Various banners are hung high on the outside of different buildings. The purple color belonging to the Wildcats decorates the campus, complementing this week's upcoming Halloween. The atmosphere of the carnival party is spreading everywhere. Even the students who occasionally pass by seem a little different. Wearing Wildcats jerseys or Wildcats and so on, the team's elements are filled with sight and cannot be ignored.

The so-called strangeness is not because many banners are marked with the name "Coach Archie", just like Lu Yiqi is the real head coach of this team - of course, this is one of the reasons, but the real main reason is that these banners themselves, such madness and enthusiasm are strange.

Last year, Pres took office and took over this team at the trough. The overall atmosphere was completely bleak...

It is true that the unique geographical location and surrounding environment ensure that Kansas State is still one of the most popular and popular teams in Kansas. Fans are still eagerly looking forward to the team getting out of the trough, and their attendance rate can easily exceed 80% at home every time.

However, those support and attention are not enthusiastic enough or strong enough. They are more of a habitual support. Just like part of daily life, the husband still kisses his wife, but he no longer has the impulse and excitement of the love period. It is slightly different from Pres' imagination.

"Don't the head coach should be surrounded by cheers and applause when he takes office? It's like a savior coming."

Now, in just two months, everything that Pres had expected to dream to be staged, but it had nothing to do with him.

Eight consecutive victories!

Kansas State University established a football team and joined NCAA for the first time, including four games to defeat strong enemies. The tough and powerful performance was filled with blood and tenacity, truly demonstrating outstanding competitiveness, and indeed becoming the focus of the whole United States.

In comparison, last year Pres only won seven wins throughout the entire season, no wonder the entire campus and the entire city couldn't help suppressing the excitement.

but……

Pres couldn't describe his feelings either. He was mixed and complicated, and it was hard to describe it.

Obviously, this is still not the best time for Pres to return: the team remains unbeaten, Lu Yiqi's reputation continues to rise, the locker room is unprecedentedly gathering, and even Jacob shuts his mouth down, and the team seems to be unable to find any gaps inside and outside.

But Press had no way to continue waiting. Even if it was not the best time, he still gritted his teeth and announced that he had passed the doctor's examination and officially returned to work for the team.

So, what should I do now?

"Coach, what about your opinion?"

Pres' thoughts were pulled heavily from the state of the soul wandering outside the sky to the ground, the focus and focal length were reconverging, and the faces of the coaching team members in their field of vision became clear again:

On the left is Lu Yiqi, the offensive coordinator.

On the right hand is Latimer, defensive coordinator.

Although the return time of Pres is not the best, it is not the worst: the locker room storm has passed, Walker is out of the game due to injury, and the rumors that Lu Yiqi was fired and excluded have gradually subsided. Although fans still hope that Lu Yiqi will continue to lead the team, Pres' return has not been hindered too much.

A few optimistic fans said that since Lu Yiqi's interim head coach can lead the team so well, then there is definitely no problem with Pres.

The same is true within the team. Lu Yiqi politely welcomed Pres' return; there were no conflicts and conflicts at the first regular tactical meeting, as if Pres had never left, as if Pres was really welcomed, as if nothing had changed.

But Pres knew it was a lie: at least, the tactics were different.

Over the past two weeks, Pres has begun to study the Wildcats' tactical changes this season at home.

First of all, the entire running route of the offensive team is more complex and clear, and a system has been truly established - Lu Yiqi suggested to Pres last year, but Pres did not adopt it; and the passing goals of the offensive team are also clearer and clearer, and Nelson deserves to be the number one wide receiver.

Secondly, the defensive team's upward pressure tactics are obviously used frequently, and the coordination of the entire defensive frontline is more complex and more tough. Through the cooperation of players, the defensive players' own abilities are fully utilized, and the effect of one plus one is greater than two is created; the proportion of the use of surprise tactics has increased sharply.

Overall, the framework is still Pres’ tactical framework, but the changes in details have caused the entire tactical system to deviate from the track.

This is still the Wildcats, but it is no longer the Wildcats of Pres, but Lu Yiqi's Wildcats.

Pres naturally is unwilling to continue using Lu Yiqi's tactical system. He is the head coach! Not Lu Yiqi! But he must face up to a serious problem:

First, time, tactical modifications in the season are very dangerous; second, time, they will face another old enemy, Iowa State University next week. Like the University of Kansas, this is also a game that must not be lost, or even a game that must not be lost. Otherwise, Lu Yiqi will lead the team to eight consecutive victories, and he will directly lose the battle of his old enemy if he returns?

As for all the players in the locker room supporting Lu Yiqi, this is no longer the most important issue at present.

Pres knew that this was indeed not a good opportunity to return. Even if he returned to the team successfully, he was still restricted and could not fully display his hands and feet; but he had no choice but to postpone it, and then his work might be given up.

Slowly draw it.

This is the only thing Pres can do now.

So, Pres showed a refreshing smile, "Good, everything is good, your preparations are perfect, let's follow the original plan."

Then, Pres turned to look at Lu Yiqi, and said with a smile, "Noah, thank you for your hard work during this period. I know how difficult this position is. Next, you can temporarily remove the pressure."

The subtext is: You are my subordinate, you are just playing temporarily. I am the real one.

Lu Yiqi seemed to have not noticed it and showed a polite smile, "This is the credit of the entire coaching staff."

Brush brush.

Pres could immediately notice the eyes of other members of the coaching staff flying towards him, like a dart: he praised Lu Yiqi, but forgot to thank other coach colleagues.
Chapter completed!
