Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 633 Spreading Wings
"Coach Reed."

Levi smiled and stood up as if nothing had happened.

This made Reed sigh inwardly, thinking that the post-match press conference could wait, he walked towards Levi and sat down next to Levi a little awkwardly.

"Come, sit with me."

Levi was stunned, "But, the press conference..."

Reid ignored him, "Why, are you still thinking about the game?"

Levi didn't answer immediately. He looked at Reid, then realized that his appearance just now must have been seen by the coach, so he sat down next to the coach again.

"Ah."

"I always wonder if I had been a little quicker on that free-kick, I might have been able to change the trajectory of the ball."

"Or maybe I could have done more in the game. Even though Sherlock has been blaming himself, to be honest, I didn't play well in this game and I should have taken more responsibility..."

Thousands of words came to a sudden halt on my lips.

Levi turned to look at Reid and gave a wry smile.

"I know. I know the reason. I shouldn't dwell on these details. Once I start, it will never end. I might even drive myself crazy. I also advised Sherlock not to take all the responsibility on his shoulders, but..."

"coach."

"I hate losing, I really do."

I let out a long breath. It felt so uncomfortable, as if a ball of fire was constantly surging in my chest, and I couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

Reed had been listening patiently beside him, not in a hurry to interrupt Levi, then turned his head and looked over, "Then starting tomorrow, we need to watch the game video a few more times."

Actually——

Levi was stunned. He thought Reed would persuade him to let go or give him some wise words of inspiration, but he was wrong.

Reed noticed Levi's gaze and a smile appeared on his chubby face.

“We can’t change the past, nor can we predict the future. The only thing we can do is to seize the present.”

"New England is a strong team and Belichick is a top coach. We need to respect this fact. We lost the game today. If we have a chance to meet again this season, it doesn't mean we can win. We may still lose the game."

"Although we are the defending champions, Belichick and his team have been able to stay at the top of the league for so many years. Their foundation is here. Objectively speaking, we are still challenging their position."

"Haha, doesn't this sound very harsh?"

Reed looked at Levi.

Levi spread his hands and said, "Ask me tomorrow. I can't stay calm and give objective advice right now."

"Haha." Reed was amused.

"The truth is often cruel. Just like in today's game, I have to admit that New England played better and they deserved the victory. God, it's still not easy to admit this."

"But we need to face the facts because that is the only way to improve ourselves."

"Next time we meet, I hope to beat them."

Calm, open, sincere and straightforward.

Levi did not hide his surprise, because Reed never showed emotions in front of them, and he was the same whether he won or lost, as steady as a rock.

Reed's eyes behind his glasses lit up, "Let me tell you a secret, I hate failure too." Levi was stunned, "...Haha."

Indeed, who likes it?
Reed hesitated slightly, the words came to his lips but he didn't know whether he should speak -

He has never revealed any trace of vulnerability in front of others, including the coaching team, because he is the head coach and he needs to take all responsibilities; including his family, because he does not want work matters to become an uncertain factor in his family, let alone the players.

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

The same is true for every position, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

But at this moment, watching Levi, the young man he personally selected in the draft, grow step by step into the leader of the team. Although he is still young, he is supporting the sky for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Then, Reid spoke.

"I've been in Philadelphia for 13 years, and even now, I still consider it my second home. I miss the weather, the beer, and the fans."

"But the fact is that in those years in Philadelphia, the fans have always been against me because I couldn't bring a Super Bowl championship trophy to Philadelphia. We had a few good seasons and advanced to the later stages, but ultimately fell short."

"The fans shouted at me to get out and even came to my house and threw stones at the windows."

"I'm not a coach who only believes in winning, but I have to admit that we need to win because losing will put us in trouble. If Jeffrey hadn't chosen to believe in me all the time, I would have lost my job long ago."

Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles.

“So, I hate failure.”

"That's why...we need to watch the game video several times tomorrow."

With a sudden turn, Levi thought Reed would elevate the theme, but he didn't expect a sudden comeback. Levi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Reed didn't say anything more, but supported himself on the stairs and tried to stand up; but it was obviously not an easy task for him.

In the end, it was Levi who reached out and helped Reed stand up.

Reed didn't continue to look at Levi, because he believed in this child. He just needed some time. In the future, he would grow into a towering tree and support a vast sky for the Kansas Chiefs.

The anger, the bitterness, the unwillingness, all the pain is because of care and enthusiasm, and will eventually evolve into nutrients for growth and transformation, waiting for the moment of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Reed is very much looking forward to Levi's future, and he wants to witness it quietly.

Therefore, before entering the press conference room, Reed had already made up his mind——

No one can harm his disciples.

nobody!
Moreover, Reed did what he said and took a series of swift and decisive actions.

This time, Reid received full support from the Kansas City Chiefs from top to bottom, including the team owner Hunter, who immediately protested to the league, and then stood firmly behind Levi during an interview.

At the same time, the New England Patriots also took action to promote a storm of public opinion on social networks:

A video clip showing Levi threatening the life of the New England Patriots was circulated on major social networks in an instant, allowing people to see Levi's murderous and ferocious appearance, instantly pushing Levi to the forefront and becoming a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

The New England region cautiously revealed just the tip of the iceberg of discrimination, but it was magnified ten or twenty times or even more on the anonymous platform of the Internet, and was flooded with insults and curses.

Because the video was taken out of context, Mahomes' existence was completely ignored, let alone the ins and outs of the matter. Levi was the only protagonist standing under the spotlight. Levi, who was already at the center of the storm, now attracted all the bullets and guns.

A full year after entering the league, Levi, who had been unstoppable all the way, seemed to have finally encountered his first crisis. For the first time, he truly suffered the backlash of the so-called politically correct treatment. The filth and ugliness beneath the shadow of the league's glamorous appearance were slowly revealed.
