"So, if you took over McCarthy's job, do you think you can do it?"

Without warning, Ras threw out a bombshell, completely unexpected, even the old Taoist Ru Lu Yiqi couldn't help but be surprised-

According to the original trajectory, McCarthy did not lose the job in the 2008 season.

However, the internal strength accumulated by being the editor-in-chief for many years still allowed Lu Yiqi to control his emotions. He just raised his eyebrows lightly, and then smiled, "I am ready to accept all the challenges."

From the words to the tone, they are very particular. They do not show confidence in arrogance, but use "challenges" to determine the fact that they are still young and have a young age. They also calmly express that they have prepared and bravely and firmly welcome all possibilities. Especially those bright eyes are full of confidence.

In the eyes of Russ, Thomson and others, they did not look like a twenty-nine-year-old young man at all.

"Oh..." Russ dragged the ending, "Young people have the momentum and passion, which is a good thing; but are you sure you won't be too young? Being the head coach of a team is not that simple, the media attention, the fans' expectations, the pressure of victory, and of course, the management's restraint and interference, let alone the conflicts in the locker room."

"Do you know why the captains are often the most experienced senior sailors on the ship? Because their work is very complicated and difficult. If they make a little mistake in judgment, the ship may hit the reef or get lost, and then be swallowed up by the vast ocean. The same is true for the head coach."

Ras said slowly, holding the teacup that had gradually cooled down, his eyes not staring at Lu Yiqi, but his temptations inside and outside never left.

"Ha. Isn't this an eternal issue? Should we believe in experience or innovation? Should we choose tradition or change? Everyone has their own answer. As for whether it is correct or not, only time can prove it."

Lu Yiqi's answer once again brought surprises. He did not respond to Las' tricky questions positively, but the wisdom of life was hidden in the solid answer.

"Age can be a disadvantage, but it can also be an advantage. The question is, should we choose the present or the future?" Lu Yiqi also answered meaningfully, but the topic has shifted from him to the quarterback: Should we choose Rogers or Favre?

However, Ras didn't play according to common sense, "What if I want both the present and the future?"

The aggressive momentum surged, and Lu Yiqi was forced to the corner of the wall in an instant.

But Lu Yiqi was not nervous at all, let alone retreating. Instead, he straightened his back and said calmly, "Then change is the only choice."

The confidence in words spreads out like this, and the shining eyes unswervingly expressed their position. Although they did not expressly, the meaning could not be more clear.

Las finally raised his eyes and stared at Lu Yiqi quietly. He paused for a moment, showed a polite smile, and raised the teacup in his hand.

Lu Yiqi picked up the boiling kettle again, poured a soap of hot water into the tea leaves, and then poured light green tea soup into the tea cup of Ras.

The calm hands did not shake at all.

Ras did not pick up the teacup, but kept the teacup hanging in the air, his eyes flashed slightly, "So, do you think we, who had won thirteen wins and three losses last season, are still full of shortcomings and shortcomings, and still need more changes, is that right?"

Back at the horse.

It was clearly Las who asked Lu Yiqi to give his opinions, but now he blamed Lu Yiqi for "too many opinions". The good and bad are all based on Las' mouth.

But Lu Yiqi was not surprised at all. Rather than saying that the interviews are like this, it is better to say that the superiors are like this.

"Then, according to this theory, the New England Patriot who won all sixteen games in the season but still failed to win the championship should be perfect." Lu Yiqi calmly said to him, but the sharpness in his words was not allowed.

Since Lars wants to argue, Lu Yiqi also uses the quibbling of changing concepts to fight back. Speaking of debate, Lu Yiqi, who was a reporter, has never been afraid of anyone.

"Haha, do you look down on us for not winning the Super Bowl?" Ras laughed happily, but the tea cup filled with tea soup in his hand did not shake at all. The movement of the qi sinking into the Dantian was very steady.

But Lu Yiqi did not laugh with her, but looked at Russ with a bright look, "Aren't the changes and adjustments of every team after entering the offseason to compete for the Super Bowl? The New York Giants are not perfect, but they have found a way to defeat the unbeaten New England Patriots; similarly, the Green Bay Packers are not perfect, and we need to find our own way to the Super Bowl."

"So... are you ready?" Russ' smile suddenly became calm. Although he didn't say much, the subtext could not be clearer in connection with the ins and outs:

McCarthy has been in the league for twenty years and cannot confidently say that he is fully prepared to become the champion coach, and you?

Lu Yiqi did not answer. At this moment, any form of affirmative answer would seem too proud or even arrogant, because Lu Yiqi did have too little experience; but if he rejected the answer, the confidence and calmness he had established so far would be completely eliminated. In other words, there is no correct answer or even room for answers.

So, how did Lu Yiqi respond?

Frank, confident, calm and firm. At the same time, with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to look at Russ's eyes, his clear eyes did not dodge at all, and he used his eyes and body language to express his beliefs with his eyes and body language, which is more direct and more accurate than language:

Any storm is coming!

silence.

The whole room fell into silence. Lu Yiqi and Las did not speak, but could vaguely sense the flow of a tense aura, as if a confrontation of aura was being held. Although there was no sound, you could feel the spark-filled smoke spreading quietly.

Lu Yiqi's eyes never retreated.

Then, Russ smiled.

The tight corners of the mouth gently raised, and a hint of appreciation and admiration appeared in the eyes - to be honest, Lu Yiqi's reaction was indeed perfect and impeccable. His smile extended from the corners of his mouth to the foundation of his eyes. Lass made a positive reply and sighed, "The world of young people is so beautiful."

Thompson cast his sight at Russ, but he couldn't understand immediately. After waiting for Russ to lift the teacup again, he finally realized what Russ meant and took the initiative to take the conversation, "Noah, in the new season, you will be the head coach of Green Bay Packers. What do you think?"

"Formal or temporary?" Lu Yiqi's reaction also broke the rules, his eyes still remained on Russ, and he replied calmly.

Thompson's expression was slightly stunned. Ras and Schneider both laughed, and Lu Yiqi also smiled. At this time, he turned to look at Thompson, his eyes softened, and he returned to his usual restraint and elegance. "Sorry, I just experienced a season of ups and downs, and I need to be cautious."

Thompson then realized that he was both angry and funny, "Of course it's formal. We don't mean to joke." The second half of the sentence felt a bit condemned, as if he was dissatisfied with Lu Yiqi's questioning their sincerity-

If it were just a temporary head coach, how could they need to go out in person? Not only were there three interviews, but four senior executives were also going out together!

Of course this is no joke!

"Then this is my honor." Lu Yiqi did not defend himself anymore and agreed immediately.

But Thompson shook his head gently and officially took over the initiative in subsequent negotiations from Russ. "Before the official signing, we need to have an oral agreement. If the winning rate of the new season cannot exceed 50%, then we have the right to end the cooperation agreement after one season. Of course, if you need it, we can also include it in the contract."

Mike McCarthy's first season as head coach, with a record of four wins and twelve losses and a winning rate of 25%.

According to the development trajectory of the previous life, the winning rate of Green Bay Packers in 2008 was 37.5%.

For Lu Yiqi, this is a very, very strict clause.

You can directly feel from the side that the Green Bay Packers finally chose Lu Yiqi to replace McCarthy as head coach-

What had not happened in the previous life was bound to be fierce controversy within, and the supporters were under tremendous pressure. Before Lu Yiqi took office, he had already prepared the "blame-shifting" strategy in advance.

"No problem." Lu Yiqi agreed simply and neatly.

The refreshing response made Thompson look satisfied. He admired such a straightforward and heroic character. At this time, he was even in a mood to joke, "No, no, no, don't be so anxious. We still have some things to discuss, but cooperation is not that simple."

Faced with Thompson's joke, Lu Yiqi also smiled and complained in self-taught, "I certainly need to be more anxious to be able to take over the head coach of Green Bay Packers. Before your brains recover, seize the opportunity to ensure that the raw rice is cooked."

"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter, and the whole atmosphere was filled with a sense of relaxation and joy.

Russ even looked at Thompson directly and joked, "The young people are indeed full of vitality, and we old guys can no longer keep up."

"Are you sure?" Lu Yiqi answered again, and everyone looked at it and showed confusion. "I personally traveled a long distance to Manhattan for an interview. Just this courage and initiative alone would definitely not see any trace of age. I believe that those old guys prefer to wait for interviewers in their offices to come."

It is funny, with a little sharp and spicy ridicule, and a little ridiculous. Most importantly, behind the outspokenness is compliments.
