The sun was setting in the west and the sky was filled with a beautiful sunset glow.
The afternoon training was over.
After that, he wandered, wandered, and wandered. As a player without much talent, he constantly wandered. Playing in an amateur team did not diminish his willpower. He always worked hard and persisted in his tenacity. He longed to return to Maleo one day and appear in El Molinon wearing the Sporting de Gijón jersey. For a wanderer like him, El Molinon was the temple of his heart!
He was sincerely grateful to Mr. Tráhsus, who had brought him into the team. Although he ultimately did not get to wear the red and white jersey and represent the First Team in a match, at the very least, it had given him hope, excitement, and happiness.
However, it was all over now. That illusory dream, his persistence, had come to an end. Even though the assistant manager did not say anything, McGour-Piehra could read some signals from Mr. Scottley's expression: the new manager would not give him a chance either.
This was understandable. Michael Pihra was an honest man with a good temper. He would not complain. He put himself in the manager's shoes and felt that he should not blame the new manager. He was a player from an amateur team and could not meet the requirements of the First Team. The team was under great pressure to avoid relegation. Why should the manager give him a chance?!
He did not regret his persistence and hard work. He only felt regret, and this regret could be lifelong.
Michael Pihra greedily breathed in the air of Maleo. The corners of his eyes were a little wet, and he quickly wiped them away secretly.
He looked up at the training ground. The First Team players had already finished their training and were chatting in twos and threes as they walked in the direction of the locker room. At this moment, these people saw Michael. They slowed down and looked over.
They could guess why Maguire was here. The former manager, Rashidria, had already announced that he was terminating his contract with Maguire. As for Rashidria's dismissal, it now looked like it had only delayed Maguire's official departure from the team.
No one laughed at Macgur. Even those rebels were looking at Macgur with complicated feelings.
Perhaps when McGuire had first joined the team, these First Team players would have felt superior and looked down on the 'amateur player' McGuire. They would have even ridiculed this person's ridiculous persistence and dream. However, in the following half of the season, they watched the 35-year-old veteran train hard. Even if he was ignored and abandoned by Manager Lachida, he still persevered in training. Did he not know that he was doing useless work? Michael should know, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, this person persevered!
McGuire's efforts and his persistence in his dream moved these players.
Moreover, Michael was a person with a good temper. He was always smiling and seemed to be full of confidence in everything. When you saw this person, you could not help but be influenced by him and become happy.
Therefore, even if Michael Pihra was only an "external player" and had only been in the team for half of the season, Michael was very popular in the team. Everyone respected this veteran.
At this moment, these people stopped and watched from afar as Michael Pihra was led by assistant manager Scott Terry to the bench at the side of the training ground. Manager Li Ang sat on the recliner and was writing in his notebook.
*****
The manager, who was writing with his head down, heard footsteps coming towards him.
Li Ang put away his notebook and stood up to look at Michael Pihra, who was walking towards him.
He was about 180 centimeters tall. His body was not particularly strong, but he was not skinny either. The 35-year-old veteran looked very sturdy.
Li Ang wanted to meet Michael Pihra. He was indeed moved by Michael's story. Regardless of the outcome, such a person who pursued his dream and did not give up was worthy of respect.
Even if Macgur's strength was very weak and he would not give Macgur a chance, he would still meet Macgur once. This was the basic respect he had.
Strength?
Li Ang's heart skipped a beat. He immediately used the [Eye of Talent Scout] to scan Michael Pihra's attributes. He did not think that it was a waste to use the [Eye of Talent Scout], which could only be used once a day, on a 35-year-old "amateur player." If Michael had the slightest bit of redeeming qualities, Li Ang would give this veteran a chance! This was not pity. It was respect! It was respect for people who pursued their dreams!
Li Ang locked his gaze on Michael Pihra, who was walking towards him. Li Ang began his scan.
He thought that the results of his [Eye of Talent Scout]'s scan would be very bad. He thought that he would see a sheet of pale data.
But to his surprise, he saw a few red numbers!
Li Ang's interest was immediately piqued. He went to take a look and saw which attribute the red data was on.
[Work Input] 80!
[Willpower (Determination)] 79!
[Bravery] 85!
They were all Spirit attributes!
Li Ang was very surprised. These numbers appeared on a 35-year-old veteran. It was surprising. Moreover, this was an "amateur player!"
However, when he thought of Maiquel Pihra's pursuit of his dream and the unrelenting efforts of this veteran, Li Ang was relieved. It was normal for such a person to have a high Spirit attribute. It would be abnormal if it wasn't high.
For professional players, Spirit attributes were very important!
However, if it was only high Spirit attributes, it was useless. There were many tough players with high fighting spirit among the amateur players. They dared to fight and fight, but their strength was not good enough and their talent was very low. In the end, they could only mix in the amateur league.
Therefore, Li Ang immediately paid attention to Michael Pihra's other attribute data.
He knew that Michael Pihra's field position was midfield.
Therefore, Li Ang focused on the most important attributes of a midfielder.
[Creativity] 40.
[Passing] 35.
[Passing] 35.
Li Ang secretly shook his head. These numbers were too dismal. It was no wonder that Sporting de Gijón thought that Michael Pihra's talent was very low and did not sign a professional contract with him.
Li Ang continued to look at the [Technique Attributes].
[Technique] 45.
[Dribbling] 40.
[Talent] 40.
[Agility] 35.
Li Ang's heart sank again. As a midfielder, as a Spanish player, Michael Pihra's footwork was really terrible.
Here, Li Ang had almost crossed out McGour-Pihra. Although he appreciated McGour-Pihra's efforts, he could not help such a player even if he wanted to.
Li Ang then looked at Michael Pihra's physical attributes.
[Speed] 55.
[Explosive Power] 55.
For a 35-year-old veteran, such speed and explosive power were normal. Therefore, Michael Pihra's two attributes were not bad. Of course, this "not bad" evaluation was compared to Michael Pihra's other attributes.
However, the next few attributes shocked Li Ang.
To be more precise, he was greatly shocked!
