The Super Bowl of the 2008 season will officially debut on February 1, 2009. The Super Bowl midfield performance is also known as the "American Spring Festival Gala". Because the Super Bowl and the midfield performance can attract more than 100 million American audiences, the ratings easily exceed 50%. This is the biggest event of the year in the North American continent.
This year's Super Bowl is held on the seventh day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and the time is stuck in the middle of the New Year. There is New Year's Eve in front and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month afterwards. So Chinese fans say this: Watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, watch the Lantern Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and watch the Lantern Festival Gala on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, while the seventh day of the Chinese New Year is a party for the American Spring Festival Gala.
Thanks to a small association promotion, the Super Bowl is also known to be more distinctive of Chinese culture. Especially this year, Lu Yiqi will lead the team to the stage, which makes Chinese people around the world happy, and both the attention and the popularity of the topic burst out with huge energy.
The craze on the social network is surging and is sweeping the world with unimaginable attitude. Loyal and fanatical fans are uniting to welcome the arrival of this annual event with unparalleled enthusiasm.
However, as the absolute protagonist of the entire incident, Lu Yiqi, who caused storms around the world, was calm at this time.
For Lu Yiqi, all this is unimaginable. Don’t say “predictable”. From beginning to end, he never imagined that he could have such appeal. He was just a coach and then worked diligently to complete his work. That’s all. All the answers made in the media’s previous questions about “creating history” were sincere—
He is just trying to break the label tied to himself.
As for creating history and appeal on a global scale, all of these are extra rewards.
The only thing Lu Yiqi can do and will continue to concentrate on doing is his own work.
Just like this at this time.
Lu Yiqi left Thompson's residence with brisk steps. Thompson said goodbye warmly, "Go slowly, come and have a drink after it's all over." Lu Yiqi did not look back, but waved his hand casually and left, and Thompson's cheerful laughter came from behind.
In Lu Yiqi's opinion, dealing with Thompson has never been a difficult task.
When he was a journalist in his previous life, he encountered more difficult and difficult situations, and countless times, Thompson's pride and arrogance were all the emotions that appeared on the surface. Compared with those smiling tigers who were on the surface, it was much better, and it was not difficult to deal with it.
In fact, you only need to go with your hair.
For example, in the VIP room meeting before the National League Finals, Lu Yiqi calmly completed the preparation, and then gave the opportunity to compliment Cruise to Thompson, who successfully completed the face-scanning achievements in front of Cruise and won face with satisfaction. Thompson was very satisfied with Lu Yiqi's performance.
The most important thing is that Lu Yiqi's "superiority" is completed quietly, and does not require flattery or humiliation. Whether for Thompson or other guests in the VIP room, they did not notice the surging tide under the calmness. This is the most clever place.
Thompson has a face and a foundation, so how could he be dissatisfied?
This satisfaction has continued to this day-
When Thompson saw Lu Yiqi visiting him on his own initiative, he smiled happily, because this meant that the initiative was with Thompson.
Compared to time bombs like McCarthy and Favre, Thompson still prefers the head coach who is "easy to control", "he can completely control himself in the palm of his hand", "has self-knowledge and honest", "strong business ability but requires strong support".
However... is the truth in Thompson's hands, or is Lu Yiqi making Thompson think he has the truth? Is it Thompson's control of Lu Yiqi, or Lu Yiqi making Thompson have the illusion that he is "controlling the overall situation", that is the IQ tax.
Everyone is immersed in the truth they know, but how can the "truth" be so easy to grasp?
Today, Lu Yiqi took the initiative to look for Thompson. Thompson was "very happy" and the conversation went very smoothly.
Lu Yiqi and Thompson reached a consensus that the matter about renewing the coach's contract is not a problem at all. The only focus that the team needs to pay attention to now is the Super Bowl.
In Lu Yiqi's words, "This is your resume."
It is precisely because Thompson made decisive decisions in the chaos of the offseason that the current result was the result. The Super Bowl showed Thompson's wisdom and decisiveness; Lu Yiqi himself still needs more time to enrich his resume. Just the glory of the first year is at most in the eyes of the public, because in the world of rugby, it often takes five seasons to measure the historical status of players and coaches.
This is exactly what Thompson thought, and Lu Yiqi's explanation completely hit his idea.
Thompson simply couldn't agree more about this.
Naturally, Thompson's attention shifted to the Super Bowl and he made tactical suggestions, "The offense should be like this", "The defense should be like that", "What should be like this", "What should be like when facing a team like Pittsburgh?" He was very happy to give advice, and sincerely hoped that Lu Yiqi could defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in one go.
Then, Thompson began to recall the past, how he prepared for the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, and why he missed the championship because of him, and how he worked hard all the way to top the National League championship. Those glorious years always have countless shining points, which are memorable.
About four hours of conversation, including a lunch, was almost Thompson's one-man show, and Lu Yiqi successfully played the role of an excellent listener. Occasionally, one or two sentences were the most guiding, just like MSG added to food, which instantly brightened the conversation.
When Lu Yiqi said goodbye and left, Thompson was still a little unsatisfied and was even more satisfied with Lu Yiqi. You can see from his eyes:
Such a head coach who fits my wishes can't even find it even with a lantern.
And what about Lu Yiqi?
"Where should the draft start to strengthen?"
This is the first idea that came to Lu Yiqi's mind. He believed that no matter what draft blueprint he proposed now, he could successfully convince Thompson to make Thompson believe that this was the most perfect choice, and then Thompson would complete the team building according to his "his own" idea.
