Chapter 959 Boss, I want to retire

After going through a large-scale contract renewal, David also needs to consider supplementing the team. Gomez is already on top of Lewandowski, so David doesn't need to worry about it, but in the right forward position, he has to Use your brains.

If Royce is not re-leased to Juventus, then Royce can play in this position. Even if he lacks experience, he has plenty of room for growth. It will not cause Notts County's strength to fall off a cliff.

But now that Royce has reported to Juventus, David doesn't want to break the contract easily, so he can only give up.

After thinking for a long time, David couldn't help but feel a headache because he couldn't think of a particularly suitable candidate.

When David was in confusion, he suddenly received a call from Diego Lopez. To David's surprise, Diego Lopez came to the club at this time.

During the large-scale contract renewal, Diego Lopez did not renew the contract, which made David puzzled.

However, David still thinks that Diego Lopez is uneasy because he has not played many games for Notts County for two consecutive seasons but has a high salary for Notts County, so he does not think that Diego Lopez wants to transfer and leave.

But it was a bit strange that he came to the club to find him at this time. After all, his forearm had just recovered, and it was not even suitable for strenuous exercise.

Boss! Diego Lopez walked into David's office and shouted.

David and Lopez sat on the sofa together, not too far away, because they were too familiar.

How is it? I asked your attending physician and said that you are recovering well. I think that although you may not be able to make it to the opening match, you will be able to officially return in October! David asked with concern.

But what puzzled David was that Diego Lopez lowered his head and did not answer David's words.

Looking at Diego Lopez strangely, he asked with concern, What's wrong with you, is it repeated again?

It's not impossible, this forearm has been fractured for the second time, and this time it is more serious than the first time.

Boss, I have thought about it for a long time. Although this is a very difficult decision, I am afraid I have no better choice. Boss, I have decided to retire!

Diego Lopez raised his head sharply, and suddenly said to David, with endless frustration in his words, and even crying.

David was completely stunned, he never thought that Diego Lopez would say that suddenly.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, David didn't speak, Diego Lopez lowered his head again, and didn't speak, the two remained silent like this.

Is it because of the broken arm? After a long time, David said in a low voice.

Diego Lopez nodded slowly, The doctor said that although this arm has recovered well, it will not affect normal life in the future, but he told me that it is best not to guard the goal anymore. A bone that has been injured twice may not be able to bear it, if it really reaches that level, I am afraid this arm will be useless!

Diego Lopez was still smiling when he spoke, but the smile was very forced. In David's opinion, it was uglier than crying.

David didn't know how to speak for a while, whether to persuade him to change his mind, or to encourage him to be strong, none of these seemed appropriate.

It's really cruel. For a professional player, it's not terrible not to have a club to appreciate him, and it's not terrible to be unable to play the main force. The terrible thing is that he will never be able to play football again.

Injuries are inevitable for professional players, but most injuries do not have a particularly serious impact on a player's career, but Diego Lopez is completely different.

As a goalkeeper, he relies on his hands for food, and now he can't use his arms, which is equivalent to directly cutting off his dream of continuing to play football.

You know, Diego Lopez is only 26 years old, and he has not even reached the golden age of a goalkeeper. Without these two injuries, he can even play for more than ten years.

But now, cruel injuries have forced the young man to say goodbye to football.

Far from the previous career, is there anything more cruel!

David didn't know how to comfort Diego Lopez, because he felt that he was not qualified to say meaningless chicken soup to him.

Perhaps the doctor in charge has made a mistake in his judgment. We can invite world-renowned orthopedic experts to consult with you. Maybe there will be a turnaround. You know, Notts County needs you! David still couldn't help but say Try to stay.

Diego Lopez still shook his head, Boss, don't waste your energy. In fact, I know my body well. Even if I may play in the future, I'm afraid my mind will be shadowed by the two injuries and I won't be able to exert myself. Give your best, this is irresponsible to the club!

At this time, David had calmed down a little bit from the cruel news, got up and sat next to Diego Lopez, put his arms around his shoulders, and smiled hard: Then what are your plans next? Maybe I can I will give you a few references. On the one hand, you can stay in the club to do management work. I can guarantee that as long as you are familiar with the all-round work of the club, I guarantee that you will be able to become a senior manager of the club in a few years; of course, I I don’t know if you are willing to be a coach, but this is actually a good choice!”

Speaking of this, Diego Lopez also smiled, Boss, I can't do management work. I want to be a youth training coach in the youth training base. I can't play football by myself, so it's good to train young players. , They will become top stars in the future, and I can proudly say that they were brought out by me!

David smiled and nodded. Compared with the graduates of the sports academy, Diego Lopez, who was born as a player, is obviously more suitable to be a youth training coach, especially in the goalkeeper position. His abilities are average and his basic skills are also very solid. It is what many goalkeepers lack now. If he can become a youth training coach, it will naturally be a very good way out.

That's really great, but you still have to fully restore your arm first. When you recover completely, I will take you to the youth training base to report. Of course, you can also take a look at the coach training materials now. Youth training Coaches also need to be licensed to work!

When leaving, although Diego Lopez still showed some unwillingness, David also saw some expectations for his new job from his eyes.

This is very good. People always have goals. David is very optimistic that Diego Lopez will pin all his hopes on young players in the future. He is still a member of Notts County. (To be continued.)
