"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight."

This is the only way for every leader to complete his transformation. In Rogers, Lu Yiqi saw Nelson who was once confused and blamed himself.

If possible, Lu Yiqi hopes that Rogers can have a deep conversation with Nelson, or tells the dilemma Nelson faced last year for Rogers, but now time is precious, and Lu Yiqi is not allowed to do so - maybe after the game is over, but not now.

"Aron, look into my eyes, can you see disappointment in my eyes?"

Lu Yiqi made a sound reminder.

Rogers was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes hesitantly, and faced Lu Yiqi's ink-black eyes. The firm light was as if it was filled with stars.

"There is no need to be too careful, otherwise others will have misunderstandings." Lu Yiqi did not forget to tease.

Rogers was caught off guard and was stunned.

The smile on the corner of Lu Yiqi's mouth rose, then closed the corner of his mouth, and then continued, "What about now? Can you see disappointment now?"

Rogers was unable to keep up with Lu Yiqi's thoughts - but he did not realize that his thinking had completely entered Lu Yiqi's rhythm.

"Yes, I'm indeed a little disappointed with you, not because you didn't complete the quarterback game mission, but because you didn't complete the leader's responsibilities."

Lu Yiqi's words made Rogers try to open his mouth to defend himself, but Lu Yiqi stopped Rogers with his eyes.

"Your understanding of the leader is wrong."

"A true leader should be prepared to understand his position and responsibilities. When should he stand up, when he needs to lead by himself, when he should trust his comrades who fight side by side, when he should learn to share responsibilities, and when he should call on uniting all forces to do his best... This is the responsibility of the leader."

"Leader, not omnipotent."

"You can't take all the responsibilities, you should learn to trust your teammates."

"The lone heroes in Hollywood movies will never be able to achieve greatness in the football field."

Lu Yiqi's words did not have much sharper points, and there was heavy power in gentleness and calmness.

Rogers tried to refute a sentence, "coach", but the words afterwards were still not able to be expressed, and he was interrupted by Lu Yiqi again.

"You are completely in a state of self-blame. It is disappointment in yourself and distrust of your teammates. Because you think it is all your responsibility to not open up the situation in the first half of the offense, but it is not the case. Aaron, you should be smart enough to understand this."

"Just, your arrogance and pride blinded your eyes."

Speaking of this, Lu Yiqi's words became sharper, and he really blamed Rogers for the first time, which made Rogers stubbornly look away and refused to communicate with Lu Yiqi in a positive way.

But Lu Yiqi still did not stop.

"I just said that there is another reason to choose you over Favre."

"Fafer is a stubborn personality. He believes that he is the core of the entire team, just as the entire earth must revolve around him. The credit for victory belongs to him, and the responsibility for failure belongs to his teammates. So when he realizes that he is no longer the center of the universe, he wants to retire."

"It's not that he really wants to retire, but because he's eager to pay more attention."

"So, when he retired, he suddenly realized that his attention had not increased, but also had a look of farewell. So, a farce was born. It was like a three-year-old child asking for candy. After his parents refused, he began to roll around the streets, trying to make his parents compromise. As a result, he found that his parents had really left, he cried and chased after him."

Rogers was stunned, not even realizing it, so he slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Yiqi in a daze. The mixed emotions caused a storm.

Rogers served as Favre's substitute for Green Bay for three years. He was excluded and suppressed by Favre both openly and secretly. He suffered countless physical tortures, and his mental humiliation and harm were even more bloody. But everyone else in the team chose to remain silent. They clearly saw it, but they closed their mouths because of Favre's authority and cruelty.

After all, he is just a young quarterback who hasn't proved himself, and Favre is the legendary quarterback who has been recorded in history's best alternate.

Even when Favre left Green Bay, Rogers never showed his scars in front of anyone.

Until now.

Rogers couldn't believe that Lu Yiqi described Favre in this way, bold and direct, sharp and sharp, and... still so accurate.

More importantly, Rogers could see sincerity and calmness in Lu Yiqi's eyes.

"And you, not."

"Aron, you are a proud person. Because you are too proud, you would rather choose to keep a distance than oppress others and hurt others, and then take all the responsibilities on yourself and refuse to trust others. Your pride is your strengths and your weaknesses."

"But, Aaron, if you want to grow into a true leader, if you want to be a great quarterback who has become a famous history like Joe Montana, then you have to learn to let go of your pride and trust your teammates - at least on the field."

San Francisco 49ers legendary quarterback Joe Montana, a true top superstar, is the strongest contender in any list that selects the best in history, if not the best, at least in the top three and top five.

Montana is also Rogers' idol.

"I believe that this is the biggest difference between you and Favre, and it is also the reason why I am willing to put my bet on you."

There was no skylight or sweet words. Lu Yiqi's simple words pressed heavily on Rogers' chest. Rogers was able to find the light of the North Star in Lu Yiqi's eyes, guiding himself through the fog and touching the crown.

If Lu Yiqi said this when he joined Green Bay, at the beginning of the season, or after four consecutive losses, Rogers refused to believe it. Because he was too proud, he refused Lu Yiqi's pity and sympathy.

However, today, after the ups and downs, the ups and downs of Rogers's eyes at Lu Yiqi were a little more complicated.

His pride is still resisting, but his reason knows that the coach is serious—

Those eyes that shine with sincerity will not lie. More importantly, actions are always more effective than words. The coach has proved his point of view and position with actions. The details that Rogers once was curious, puzzled, and confused have now found the answers.

Beyond Favor?

This is Rogers's obsession deep in his heart. When others hear it, they will only think that he is too overestimated, but it is the biggest motivation for Rogers to train hard.
