326 Approachable
"Hey, good morning."
Lu Yiqi nodded and greeted his colleagues in the coaching staff with a smile. He had just finished warming up on the jogging. He was refreshed and comfortable all over. He felt the lightness of sweat wet his clothes. He seemed to have become lighter. Even if he was bathed in the audience's sight, he was not nervous at all.
Recognizing the eyes gathered on him, Lu Yiqi looked at Augustus, "I remember the morning gathering time was 6:30. Am I late?"
"No, it's six twenty now." Augustus replied loudly.
"Oh." Lu Yiqi was also a little surprised, "It seems that everyone is eager to start the training camp, so let's start directly. Isaac?"
Lu Yiqi looked in the direction of Isaac, but found that Isaac kept blinking at him, as if the corners of his eyes were twitching, and his expression was a little anxious.
Lu Yiqi deliberately pretended not to understand Isaac's meaning, and looked at him left, "What? Is there anyone else not showing up? This is not a big problem. There are still ten minutes left before the original gathering time, which is completely normal; while waiting for them, everyone starts to warm up first."
Isaac stared wide, looked left and right, and asked for support, but Robert stood by and watched with frost on his face. Augustus laughed and watched the fun. Walker wanted to help, but was powerless, and made a helpless expression towards Isaac, which made Isaac's seven orifices:
What kind of guys are these?
"Coach, aren't you going to give a speech?" Someone in the player group broke the situation.
The bustling and casually standing players were all crowded together, and the source of the sound was not clear for a while, but all the players' eyes were uniformly projected towards Lu Yiqi, which can be seen:
Facing the baby-faced coaches wearing sportswear, they did lack a sense of awe, but instead developed a rebellious idea of "nothing will happen if you provoke it". Then this idea of challenging authority made the eyes gather towards Lu Yiqi involuntarily, curious about how he would respond.
At this time, Lu Yiqi, who was sweating all over, had a faint heat evaporated from his shoulders, and his slightly red cheeks looked young and tender.
Just standing in front of a group of bearded and aging strong men, they looked like they were born in a baby, and even made people begin to ignore Lu Yiqi's height and body shape. Their eyes couldn't help but show the condescending superiority of "adults looking down at children", and it is inevitable to be contemptuous.
Frankly facing the hot eyes of the audience, Lu Yiqi showed a cheerful smile, "Ha, I think you are more inclined to use your body to communicate directly and effectively."
This is the truth.
Lu Yiqi did not expect that the first day he took office would be surrounded by applause and flowers, nor did he expect that he would show his "king of aura" to sweep the eight wastelands and conquer all players and coaches. Compared with sweet words, practical actions are the right way to open the prelude to the cooperation.
But since someone made a request at the scene, there was no need for Lu Yiqi to refuse.
So Lu Yiqi adjusted his pace, swept his eyes, slid over the coaching team, and then landed on the players.
The coaching staff members could feel Lu Yiqi's hint: these words are not only targeted at the players, but also at them.
With just this small move, you can see that Lu Yiqi is definitely not a fledgling rookie. If he is deceived by his skin, then anyone who underestimates him will probably have to pay the price.
"Is this sure this is the first time Lu Yiqi has officially managed the entire team?"
The coaching staff's mind was surging, and the players were unable to feel it for the time being. The eyes of different emotions were waiting for Lu Yiqi's first speech, with many provocative and questioning expressions.
"I know, hiring me as head coach is the management decision and has nothing to do with your wishes. But whether you like it or not, we have to work together for the next season. I can tell you with certainty that I came to Green Bay for victory."
The words were said simply, without bold words or passion, and they were simply expressed, revealing strong confidence in the words.
However, the players do not buy it because they lack the halo of "head coach's authority" and the resume of "excellent head coach".
"Puff."
Someone sneered at the scene, and more than one or two, and even the coaching staff members standing behind Lu Yiqi couldn't help but smile:
Bragging is always free of cost.
Lu Yiqi was not angry at all, but instead chuckled with everyone, "Look, this is the problem."
"Why does that guy have this kind of confidence? He's just an unknown person. He doesn't know what the NFL-level game means. He hasn't even been the head coach of a team seriously. He may have just been lucky enough to become the head coach of the great team of Green Bay Packers, or has an ulterior secret deal with the team manager."
hiss.
Many people at the scene took a breath: This guy is really a taboo and dares to say anything. Just think about it privately, but I'll forget it. Is it really good to say it directly like this?
There were also a few idiotic smiles mixed in, as if they were really amused by Lu Yiqi. As a result, the teammates next to him quickly raised their elbows and knocked them to remind them, and then they calmed down.
"Don't worry, you can think like this, because even if you don't say it, the media will think like this. After the new season begins, they can't wait to see me make a fool of themselves. I can even title them in advance: 'The ugly duckling turns into a swan, but it's just a dream after all, and they'll be beaten back to their original form in one game'."
The ups and downs of accents are full of joking, like a stand-up comedian, and relying solely on the charm of language can bring laughter.
Lu Yiqi's mouth always had a smile, and his calm and confident expression was unconsciously conveyed through the self-deprecation and joke in the content of the words:
This is true self-confidence. From the inside out, it exudes a calmness that is not afraid of any attack or slander.
Invisibly, the players could feel this firm belief, and their attention gradually became concentrated, and a hint of curiosity was revealed in their eyes:
Where did this guy come from with confidence?
Then, Lu Yiqi slowly straightened his back and truly showed everyone present his confidence - the confidence that could win the position of Green Bay Packers head coach.
"But my philosophy of competition is: victory, this is the only pursuit! If even I refuse to believe in the possibility of victory, then who can believe it?"
