Gold Medal Coach

Chapter 11

Lin Haoyan was the captain of the national team and the big brother in their hearts. Now an old player who had been competing in the World Series for five years was retiring. It was as if an era was coming to an end.

The teenagers who had just been abused for one round were in a depressed mood. Now they heard the news and their already heavily damaged hearts were stabbed again.

Shi Xiaobin’s eyes were red and his voice was choked up. “Captain Lin, do you really want to leave? Won’t you consider playing another season?”

Lin Haoyan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “I have submitted a retirement application with the league. I will be cheering for you and Xiao Lu for the future charger positions.”

Lu Xingyun bit his lip and said softly, “Captain Lin, rest assured. We will work hard.”

Lin Haoyan glanced at everyone. “Okay. Now go back and sleep. Restore your energy and wait for the new coach to come.”

It was already 3 a.m. before they knew it.

The group of people turned off their computers and went back to their rooms to sleep.

On the way back to the dormitory, Xia Li wondered, “Captain Lin, do you know who the new coach is?”

Lin Haoyan shrugged. “I don’t know. I just heard Vice-chairman Qi say that the league will let the new coach take full responsibility for the next national team. This means the coach should be a powerful person.”

Shi Xiaobin muttered in a low voice, “Then is this national team going to be disbanded?”

Everyone was very worried when they heard this.

In fact, they liked to stay at the base of the national team. There were masters from the major clubs gathered here and they usually learned from each other and trained together. This was more interesting than when they were in the club. Of course, people who were weak might be abused to the point of closing themselves off but most people still liked to play against the masters. It was more enjoyable.

Now a new coach was appointed and the national team was likely to be disbanded.

They wouldn’t be able to stay at this base for long.

Xia Li scratched her head. “The World Series is over. It doesn’t seem to make sense for us to keep staying at the national team’s base?”

Lu Xingyun frowned. “The club is urging me to go back. If the team is disbanded, do we have to pack our bags early?”

Lin Haoyan looked at them, his tone serious. “Once the new coach arrives, the members of the next national team will definitely be re-selected, regardless of whether the team is disbanded directly or whether it will continue training. You just have to try to improve your level and come back next year.”

They all nodded to show their understanding.

Each national team would select people from all over the country. There were various selection methods. The coaching team and the league had a certain right to speak but the major clubs also acted behind the scenes. The selection process was very complicated.

They could only ‘rely on their own abilities’ to determine if they could enter the base of the national team next year or not.

Lu Xingyun returned to his dormitory and immediately took out his phone to send a message to the club manager: [Brother Zhao, Captain Lin just said that the new coach of the national team has been confirmed. I don’t know who it is. Have you heard any news?]

Manager Zhao quickly replied: [The league is being very strict about hiding the identity of the new coach. Nothing will be heard before the official announcement.]
