403 Veteran Oil
"Be careful, the Wolverines will never give in easily."
Woodson had to admit that he was a little surprised and did not expect Lu Yiqi to open the conversation in this way, so he responded.
However, Lu Yiqi did not continue to linger and talk, but just raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing his own appearance. In an instant, Woodson recalled the memories of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University provoking each other. He couldn't help but adjust his sitting position and prepare to fight well.
However, Lu Yiqi took the initiative to change the topic, "Charles, our defensive second-line tactics need to make partial minor adjustments."
Woodson got stuck in his throat in one breath and didn't have time to spit it out, but he was unwilling to swallow it like this, and finally he glared at Lu Yiqi.
Lu Yiqi smiled in his eyes, as if he was telling Woodson clearly: The conspiracy succeeded, which made Woodson laugh and cry.
"I believe you have your own understanding of tactical execution. After all, you have been in the league for ten years." Lu Yiqi continued directly, taking the initiative, "but I can't see your fighting spirit."
"I'm finishing my job." Woodson waved his hand indifferently and said with confidence-because he knew what he was saying was the truth.
"I know." Lu Yiqi did not deny it, "but what I need is not just to complete the work, I need you to show the fighting spirit and desire to win. Do your best to complete every defense, really burst out and 'get done', which is not enough."
"Only when we believe that the team can enter the playoffs or even win the championship, we can show our true form of the game. I need you to go to the next level." Lu Yiqi passionately portrayed the bright prospects.
Woodson smiled and mocked him, not targeting Lu Yiqi, but these words were too naive, "You are not qualified. Who knows if you can continue here next year?"
Although Woodson didn't know the specific terms of Lu Yiqi's contract with the team, he knew that Thompson was not a fool and Lu Yiqi was not Roger Goodell's illegitimate son.
"Coach, that kind of passionate encouragement is not necessary to be used on me. I am no longer twenty-two years old." Woodson still kept smiling and further explained, "I didn't mean to attack you, I just felt that there was no need to waste each other's time."
Lu Yiqi raised his hands and expressed relief, "Don't worry, I didn't feel the attack. Our only contradiction should be from college."
Lu Yiqi's relaxed freehand painting made Woodson laugh.
"You're right, obviously, you know very well what's going on now." Lu Yiqi continued, "Then you should also know that you don't have to fight for me, maybe I'm not here next year; you should fight for yourself, for Rogers, for the team. I can change a team at any time, or even return to the NCAA, and I can still find a job."
"But what about you?"
Lu Yiqi's question made Woodson's expression solidify, and the clouds between his eyebrows gathered clearly, and his eyes became sharp:
This is Woodson's scar, and no one can expose it directly. As the top cornerback of the league, he has repeatedly encountered shooting and doubts from other teams in the free market. Woodson's pride and self-esteem are absolutely not allowed, which makes him suffer.
Lu Yiqi didn't care and chuckled, "I should allow you to tell the truth, and you should also allow me to tell the truth, that's fair."
That kind of calmness and calmness, and some scoundrels, made Woodson grind his teeth secretly.
"We can see this way. At least this year and next year, you will still stay in Green Bay, or in other words, you will still stay in the league, and you have no plans to retire for the time being. You are still looking forward to winning a better contract and proving that those teams’ judgments about you are wrong. Your performance on the court is how others remember you."
"So, in what way do you want people to remember you?"
"A dedicated blue-collar worker or a champion who strives for victory?"
After a few words, Lu Yiqi forced Woodson to the corner. At this time, Woodson realized that he was in trouble-
The first topic that started from entering the door was actually Lu Yiqi stirred up Woodson's emotions. The college topic was to break Woodson's defense line in the unexpected situation, and then press forward step by step.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, or even don't like me because I'm a Spartan, but you should trust Rogers, who deserves your trust."
Trusting the quarterback and the league in the passing era means believing that the team has the possibility of winning the championship.
Ultimately, Lu Yiqi is asking Woodson to believe in the competitiveness of the Green Bay Packers and to give Woodson wholeheartedly to the team.
But Woodson is definitely not a rookie who can fool you casually. Despite the emotions and the flaws are revealed, he quickly calmed down, "No need to provoke it, it's too pediatric, and it makes you look more and more naive. If this is all the means you have, then forget it."
It turns out that he is a veteran, and a simple word cannot arouse Woodson's passion. The same method may be useful for Rogers, but it may not be effective for Woodson.
"I will complete my work, I will not interfere with your work, and I don't need you to worry about my future. We maintain a good cooperative relationship, and that's the best situation. You don't need to use these clumsy methods, I know what I should do." Woodson's eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule-
Not targeting Lu Yiqi, but targeting all young people who are ignorant of the world.
It also includes Woodson himself.
When he first entered the league, Woodson was as kind as Lu Yiqi, dreaming that he could show his strengths in the league and be famous in history, dreaming that he could become a hero who turned the outcome and led the players to the Super Bowl, and dreaming that he could stand under the spotlight to call the wind and rain.
In fact, Woodson also did it. He reached the Pro Bowl in the first four seasons and his career began to peak, but so what? He still had to bow to the league, to interests, and to reality. Lu Yiqi now is a child in Woodson's eyes.
He is also a fool.
Lu Yiqi was still not panicked or nervous, as if he had expected such a result and did not care about Woodson's attitude at all. He even showed a big smile and spread his hands to express his helplessness, "At least I have tried my best."
Afterwards, Lu Yiqi did not continue to mess around, and changed the topic for the heroes, "This is your career, not mine. So, I am worried about my coaching work, you are worried about your career, and we maintain a good cooperative relationship. I think this is a good idea. So, let's discuss the tactics."
