The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 750 Educational Punishment

Obviously, there is no way that huge bonuses will bring good luck to Tottenham Hotspur.

After a continuous long journey, flying back and forth over half of the world in less than a week, and participated in two games, Tottenham Hotspur's physical fitness has been greatly challenged, and when the North London team returned to England , Immediately went to the away game non-stop to participate in the League Cup quarter-final knockout match, and challenged Aston Villa away.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup in this game, but lost 0:1 in the away game. The dream of the quadruple crown was shattered, which also made the team very depressed. At a critical moment, a volley from the penalty area hit the post and went out of the baseline. This made the French teenager keep waving his fists and complaining.

And the controversial scene appeared when his teammate Phil Jones stepped forward to comfort him, but he slapped Phil Jones' hand away, which made Phil Jones, who was also fiery, very upset Dissatisfied, the two quarreled a few words on the court, and even backed each other up, almost fighting.

After the game, Ye Qiu took the initiative to accept media interviews and said that both players were in a bad mood because of the team's loss.

"Personally, I think it's a good sign of their desire to win. We were better throughout the game, but Aston Villa got lucky and scored shortly after the start and we I can only leave Villa Park with regret."

"For the dispute between Pogba and Phil Jones, I don't think it is necessary to over-interpret. They are both very good players with great potential. I firmly believe that there is no problem between them."

After all, they are all young players, and sometimes they will inevitably lose their temper. Regardless of whether it is Pogba or Phil Jones, what Ye Qiu admires about them is their anger at failure. They hate failure, so every time He will do his best every game, especially Phil Jones.

The Englishman is becoming more and more like a general. He can attack, retreat and defend in the midfield, and after the transformation of Tottenham Hotspur, his skills have also improved a lot. He is no longer the rough guy back then. , more and more occupying a more important weight in the team, at least now he knows how to step forward to comfort his teammates when they are lost.

Pogba didn't handle this matter well, at least he didn't have any reason to blame others for his missed shot at the last moment, especially Phil Jones who showed kindness, so Ye Qiu's post-match Pogba's approach was criticized in the locker room.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur lost 8-0 to Stoke City at home, a shame of being eliminated from the League Cup.

It is worth mentioning that Messi did not score in this game. Tottenham Hotspur's eight goals were scored by seven players, and Phil Jones, who came off the bench, scored twice The high-speed drama won the applause, but another player, Pogba, did not even make the squad.

This has also caused many outside media to hype, thinking that this is the rhythm of Ye Qiu putting Pogba into the sidelines, because the latter's behavior towards Phil Jones in the League Cup match is indeed very inappropriate. For Ye Qiu, who has always attached great importance to team unity, this is definitely a big taboo.

Pogba violated this taboo, and the one who offended was England's local player Phil Jones. There is a high possibility of being sidelined. At least many reporters have commented that his playing position in Ye Qiu's mind has already fallen. After Phil Jones and Sandro, it was Phil Jones who advanced rapidly.

But with Pogba's outstanding performance in Tottenham Hotspur in the past, there is no need to worry that no team is interested, especially since his outstanding performance this season, he has won the attention of many wealthy teams. Help listed Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Newcastle and other teams as reference objects.

For a while, news about Pogba being sidelined by Ye Qiu and likely to give up was spreading, but Tottenham Hotspur only refuted the rumors through the official website, and Ye Qiu did not come forward to defend his beloved disciple, which is also true. It was seen as a sign of possible release.

It is conservatively estimated that Pogba's current worth is at least 3000 million euros based on his age and talent.

…………

After a snowfall in London, it was a vast expanse of whiteness for several consecutive days, and the snow was hard to melt.

Looking through the windows, the roofs of every household are still covered with thick snow, which is extraordinarily eye-catching.

Antoine sat in front of the window of the dining room at home, looking out at the white world outside, while his wife was busy with breakfast in the kitchen.

"He hasn't come down yet, do you want to rush him?" The wife asked with concern inside.

Antoine came back to his senses, he knew that he must be his youngest son Paul Pogba in his wife's mouth, shook his head, "Forget it, he will come down!" It is impossible to hide in the room for a lifetime!
"Last night, Riva made a special phone call to ask. I heard that the French newspapers are also reporting frantically. Some people say that he is going back to France!" The wife walked out of the kitchen with the baked bread and milk and put them on the table. After sitting at the table, he sighed deeply.

Pogba's two older brothers have grown up and now live in France, but they prefer to play table tennis. They only pay attention to football because of their younger brothers. On the contrary, it is Pogba's uncle Riva Touré , He is a die-hard car fan, and now he is the support staff of a primary school in France. When he is free, he reads the newspaper and cares about his nephew.

"Why don't I know?" Antoine was a little dissatisfied. Those reporters just like to hype because they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

If you want to say that the two people who have influenced Pogba the most since he was a child, one is his uncle, who helped him fall in love with football since he was a child, and the other is his father, although his father himself once formed a team. An amateur team composed of African players, but he insisted that Pogba receive formal professional football training when he was very young, so when Pogba was six years old, he was sent to a professional team. Youth training teams go to receive professional training.

Without them, there would be no Pogba today!

"Or, let's call Mr. Ye Qiu and explain that this child has such a personality since he was a child!" The mother was a little worried. After all, the child was still young and his personality was not yet mature. She was afraid that Pogba would cause too much trouble with the club. Frozen, irreversible in the end.

Recently, an agent named Raiola often contacted Pogba, hoping to represent Pogba's brokerage business, and Pogba is currently negotiating with Tottenham Hotspur to renew his contract. Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to mention it. After all, Pogba is performing quite well now. In order to keep this player, the team has also shown sincerity.

It's always worrying that everything has exploded in such a short period of time.

Antoine is also worried. He has always been very mature, calm and rational, so he can vaguely guess that everything Ye Qiu is doing now is to educate his son. After all, his actions are indeed inappropriate. , Not only offended teammates, but also affected the team's internal unity.

This can be regarded as an educational punishment, and Antoine also agrees with it. After all, in the past period of time, after his son has performed well, his temper seems to be rising accordingly. After all, he is still too young to know what humility is , I don’t know when to restrain myself.

Therefore, it is a good thing for Ye Qiu to give him a lesson and a blow at this time.

But I'm afraid that my son's thinking is wrong. What if he is instigated by someone again and accidentally goes astray?
How many hopeful stars fell quickly because they left the original team?
Moreover, it has been five or six years since their family came to London from France. They have long been used to everything here. They have their own house and family. Tottenham Hotspur have taken good care of them. Toine didn't want to change all of this, especially since he knew very well how much Ye Qiu valued and favored Pogba.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Ye Qiu doesn't understand him right now. Don't look at this kid's temper, but he's just pretending. He's very fragile and has a low self-esteem. If he gets hit, then..." the mother said. said worriedly.

Although Pogba was born in the suburbs of Paris, France, he is a descendant of Guinea, which made him unable to integrate into the French world since he was a child. He was shy and reticent since he was a child, which made him addicted to football, but also because of this, He was often scolded by the teacher. Every time he was scolded, he would cry and complain about not going to school. Even when he was a teenager, he was scolded by the coach when he was learning football.

Originally, they all thought that after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, they were forced to take cultural courses, understood some truths, and looked sensible and cheerful. This situation would be better, but they did not expect that, In a blink of an eye, he started to make trouble again, and now he doesn't even go to the morning training session.

In the past, I didn't go to class when I was scolded, but now I don't go to training when I'm scolded. It's the same!
Antoine knew very well that this was a test his son had to go through, because he couldn't go on like this forever, so how would he grow and improve?How to become a great player?

Which star is not matured amidst the mixed praise and criticism, and the accusations and curses of some fans and reporters?
"He's coming down!" Antoine said to his wife when he heard the bang coming down the stairs, "Don't say anything, just pretend you don't know!"

This is also a way for him to educate his son!
Just as he was talking, Pogba's tall figure walked into the restaurant. He was half a head taller than his father.

"Paul, don't you need to train in the morning?" Antoine pretended to be reading the newspaper casually.

Pogba grabbed two pieces of bread, dipped in some salad dressing, and ate, "Today is a genius day, and I have to train, but I plan to go later."

"Oh!" Antoine didn't say anything after hearing this.

Pogba is a little afraid of his father, not because Antoine is fierce, but because his father rarely loses his temper, but once he does something wrong, his father will always teach him a harsh lesson.

However, when he saw no sign of his father's anger, he was a little lucky, did he just fool around?

"By the way, your uncle is calling!" Antoine said suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered.

"Really? What did he say? When will you come to visit us in London?" Pogba was still very affectionate to his uncle.

"I guess in a few days, he may come to spend Christmas with us, and he said he plans to participate in your Christmas carnival, and do you remember Roissy-en-Brye?"

"Remember, I was training there when I was six years old," Pogba replied.

"Yes!" Antoine also laughed, this is the most correct thing he has done in his life, that is, sending his son to Roissy-en-Bry, "They are very popular now, many French Both children and parents want to go to them to learn how to play football, I heard from Riva that the venue there has changed, there is one regular court and two small courts, and the supporting facilities are also very complete.”

"Really?" Pogba smiled shyly, remembering when he played football there in his childhood, there was nothing there, just a piece of unkempt grass, but it was already the most formal professional football club in the surrounding area.

"Chairman Tati said they were all there because of you!"

"Because of me?" Pogba was a little surprised, he had been away for many years.

"Yes, you're playing at Tottenham Hotspur, you've been doing well in the Champions League, you've played a lot in the Premier League, you've been doing well against the Ligue [-] champions, you've played for the Club World Cup. Cup, as the team won the Champions League and the Premier League, you are the idol and role model for those children, so those children and their parents hope that their children can be like you, so they sent you to Roissy-Ambes inside."

Pogba was a little silent, he didn't know these things, but maybe it was true, as if he wanted to join Marseille because he liked the stars of Marseille since he was a child, what he hated most was Paris Saint-Germain, and the reason was also very strange , because he once lost to the youth team of Paris Saint-Germain, that group of guys who are arrogant when they win.

I don't know why, when thinking of this, Pogba suddenly remembered that when he lost the game, he told himself in his heart that when he grows up, he will never be like those arrogant guys. Arrogant beyond compare.

But now?Ask yourself, has he become proud?
When he patted Phil Jones' hand, wasn't he blaming his teammates in his heart?Isn't he shifting the responsibility for the loss to his teammates?Isn't that just another form of pride?
Seeing that his son was silent, Antoine was eating bread and drinking milk, "Riva said, Chairman Tati asked him to ask you for a souvenir, which is a photo of you wearing a Tottenham Hotspur jersey for training and games And leave your autograph on the photo, he hopes to use your photo to inspire those children who learn to play ball."

Pogba is silent. In fact, his personality is not bad, but he is still too young, and sometimes it is difficult to deal with a lot of things brought about by his youth and fame. For example, many times, some young teammates in the team praised him. When he performed well, he always didn't know how to deal with it and couldn't be calm.

This kind of personality also makes it difficult for his outstanding performance to last for a long time, because whenever he performs well and receives attention, the next time he appears on the stage, he always thinks about how not to disappoint the people who like him, but the more Thinking about it this way, the more lost he found himself, the worse he acted.

The team's psychologists told him that this is a normal psychological process. He needs to learn how to adapt to the stimuli brought by the external environment. At the same time, he should also learn how to manage and adjust himself amidst the controversy and praise of fans and the media. Physical condition, which is what a mature professional player or even a mature adult should possess.

"I'm going to training!" After eating the bread, Pogba drank the milk his mother brought up and stood up.

Not long after, he was heard driving his BMW X6 away from outside.

Antoine and his wife were leaning against the window, watching their son drive away. His wife's eyes were full of worry, but Antoine smiled at her. He knew that Pogba knew how to deal with it, and he would You have to learn how to deal with this kind of thing.

But when Pogba arrived in Theobald, the team had already finished the morning training session. Roland Shepas told him that after Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti negotiated, both of them felt that He missed the training session without reason and must be given some punishment. He will suffer an internal suspension of two games, that is to say, he will miss the first two games of the team's most critical Christmas schedule.

"You are part of the team, Paul, you must learn to abide by the rules and discipline of the team!" Roland Shepas patted Pogba on the shoulder, "Believe me, the coach did this for your own good , he doesn’t want to punish you, but wants you to learn from these things.”

Pogba gritted his teeth and nodded. He was standing next to the training ground, watching his teammates walk by one by one. Many people didn't look at him. Obviously, because his previous actions made them dissatisfied, it was a team that would lose. It is a very irresponsible behavior to shirk all the responsibilities on the teammates.

"Want to hear my opinion?" Drogba was the last person to walk in front of Pogba.

Perhaps because they are both of African descent, and Drogba also played in Ligue [-] before, and almost joined Marseille, so the relationship between the two is relatively close. Pogba's expression was indifferent and he did not speak.

"No one will be happy when encountering such a thing, but you must not let the agent come forward at this time, it will mess up the matter, it is better to come in person, the office of the head is always open, he may just need You apologize, and so do all your teammates, and if you want to reintegrate into this team, you have to apologize sincerely."

At the end, Drogba laughed, "This is my own experience, I believe it will be helpful to you!" After speaking, he thumped Pogba's chest as a sign of encouragement. , walked towards the locker room.

Pogba stood where he was, turned around, and looked at Ye Qiu's office on the second floor. The window was open. He didn't know if he was there, but he was hesitating in his heart whether he should take this step.

Perhaps, this step is easy and simple for others, but it is very difficult for him!
