Team Spirit

Chapter 72 Green Gun Player Loyalty Program
Sky Sports: "Arsenal's Beckham is still carrying the team! Lu Kai's five assists in a single game led to an eight-goal victory!"

BBC: "The Green Guns won the first battle 8-0! Even the real Arsenal can't do better than this!"

The Times: "We don't know if Lu Kai can play in the Premier League, but playing in the English and Iranian Premier League is like chopping melons and vegetables!"

The Echo: "The Charity Shield has inspired Dartford's desire for promotion. VCD's attempt to make a three-step jump in two years is worthy of the name Royal!"

Dartford made a name for themselves in the English Premier League.

Those teams that want to take advantage of the weak have begun to consider their own weight.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

This directly resolved the crisis of the team being targeted by the English and Iranian Super League.

Once you are targeted, everyone thinks they can beat you, and it is possible that everyone can beat you.

This isn't just a change in momentum.

Tactically, the opponent will be more proactive in fighting you, thereby increasing your consumption.

Therefore, in the league, the stronger a team is, the weaker its opponents will be.

The weaker a team is, the stronger the teams it faces.

Typical law of the jungle.

However, the conflict in this game also attracted public attention.

Especially Patton.

Canvey Island reported his on-field brawl after the game and demanded that Barton be banned.

The FA handed Barton an additional one-match ban after carefully examining the video footage of the match.

However, the Canvey Island number 10 was handed an additional three-match ban.

Because his foul on Lu Kai clearly went beyond football behavior.

Canvey Island lost both the wife and the army.

Without this core midfielder, they may find it difficult to win the next four games.

But there was no traffic on Canvey Island, and some media mainly reported negative news about Patton.

The Sun: "Everton, Manchester City, Manchester United, the English and Irish Premier League... Bad boy Barton has made his way through England from top to bottom!"

This report has a significant impact.

Barton heard that Emily had a fight with her colleague "Elu" in the office in order to force her to withdraw the report, which caused a huge standoff and she was punished by the newspaper.

As a result, even though he caused such a big mess, the team director Jiang Mengyun actually gave him a small brand-name bag worth several hundred pounds.

Let him give it to his girlfriend to maintain a good relationship in his personal life.

Barton really feels at home in Dartford.

He swore that from now on, no matter on the court or off the court, if anyone dared to touch Lu Kai, he would risk his life to defeat the opponent!
Otherwise he would scald you with boiling water!

Of course, this is just the version Patton knows.

There has never been a peaceful time in this world, but there are people who are carrying the burden for you.

The same is true in reverse. When you feel that you are moving forward with a heavy burden, there must be someone who is making the years peaceful because of you.

The Sun did not punish Emily. In fact, because of her repeated explosive news, she became the outstanding employee of the month and her name was posted on the commendation column for public announcement.

The colleague she mentioned, "Ai Lu", is her nickname, Ai Lu.

The bag that Jiang Mengyun gave to Patton was also bought by Lu Kai with his own salary.

The purpose is to promote this "Lu Kai protectionism" within the team, thereby substantially establishing Lu Kai's authority in the locker room.

Ensure Lu Kai's court safety, avoid malicious attacks from the opponent, and reduce the possibility of injury.

This is also part of the "Green Gun Player Loyalty Program".

Last season, everything was just getting started, and Lu Kai needed the five tigers to play their own abilities to help the team upgrade. This season, with the familiarity between the old players, the joining of new strong players, and the further improvement of Lu Kai's personal strength, Dartford's strength is actually not weak.

Even if they were promoted twice in a row, their situation is actually better than last season.

Moreover, Lu Kai signed up for so many games just to allow the team to further integrate into the team and enhance its strength through battle.

You know, the current strength distribution of the team's main players is actually scary.

Except for Daniel and Scott, who are related to each other, they are below the current level.

Oliver, Victor, William, Benjamin and Kailo, with the added bonus of the team's skills and tactics, all have the ability to play at the seventh level.

Marin, Barton, To Madeira, Ashley Young, Eastwood, Duff and Macover are between the fourth and fifth levels.

The players behind Marin will have the ability to gain a foothold in the second level after they have fully grown up, and may even find their own position in the Premier League.

For a team like this, in Lu Kai's opinion, it would be news if it didn't get promoted.

Therefore, how to keep these players has become the focus of his efforts this season.

Players are valuable assets to the team. It’s not that they can’t leave, but it would be a big loss if they left now.

The team is losing money and lacking strength.

These players are too low in the table and won't be treated well.

Therefore, Lu Kai must take the initiative to become the core of the team, consume most of the team's resources, and distribute the remaining resources to prevent certain players from becoming too prominent.

In lower-level teams, this kind of core worship is normal and even necessary.

Many low-level teams are led by a super core. Everyone is not only convinced by him, but also hopes that he will be the only one in charge and obeys him in everything.

Because he can give everyone guidance, he can withstand the greatest pressure, and he can give everyone courage, faith and determination.

This kind of mental quality is what low-level players lack the most.

Or maybe they do, but because they are in a low position and face too much pressure from reality, they have to bow to many practical factors.

So before they can become strong enough to ignore reality, they need a firm leader.

This leader will naturally reap some extra benefits from this, but no one is a fool, and this leader must also make huge sacrifices in other areas.

This is a mutual agreement.

Balance exists among all things.

But the leader of today may not be the leader of tomorrow.

Years later, the team leader may not fare as well as some role players on the team.

Recalling the leaders and other roles in small groups when we were young, the one who made the decisions was not necessarily the one who did the best, and the one who followed him was not necessarily the one who did the worst.

So don't lose hope or become jealous of others just because you are now a member of a role, and don't become complacent or slack off just because you are now a team leader.

The road to the future is always under your feet.

……
