"I'll have the driver stop the car, and I'll have the butler and all the servants wait outside. Then I'll be the first to rush down from the passenger seat, stand by the back door and help you open it, welcoming you as if you were my own master."

Slott stood up and pretended to be funny, which made Lin Yu's mouth curl up.

"Then I'll help you sit on a bench by the park, strip you of your Liverpool jersey, change you into a white vest, and stick a yellow fan in your hand—the kind with a few big holes in it. Then I'll get back in my sports car, slam the accelerator, and leave a few gray marks on your face with the exhaust."

Slote's voice grew quieter as he spoke.

Over the years, Slott has already regarded Lin Chen as his own family.

As a top Dutch head coach, as a head coach who has led Liverpool to win multiple championships, as a head coach who perfectly took over the team left by Klopp and helped Liverpool achieve renewal, Slote certainly knows what he should do.

Slot also knows what to do at each stage.

But Sloot couldn't do it.

Slott just couldn't throw Lin Chen onto the bench as if he had never existed.

"Then starting from today, from the next game, let me sit on the bench."

"I'm tired of these intense games, I'm tired of physical confrontations, I'm tired of winning and losing. I just want to sit on the bench, eat some snacks in peace, and chat with these young players who have just arrived on the team."

"I'll tell them that Firmino is a charming villain, that Gerrard is my idol, that Klopp likes to chew gum secretly on the sidelines, and that there was a young guy named Ojo who was crazy about being promoted to the first team, but later left because the team offered him a higher salary. He was an ungrateful guy!"

Slott laughed out loud. Lin Chen turned back and sat opposite Slott and made another cup of civet coffee.

"I'll also tell them that there was a guy named Kravitz sitting here who had better tactical skills than Slote does now."

"I also want to tell them that there used to be a guy named Zabia sitting here. He was the best bald man I've ever seen at managing a team and arranging defensive tactics. He was much better than these bald coaches in the Netherlands."

Slott was already laughing so hard that he clapped his hands on the table: "Hahahaha!"

"anything else?"

"Who else?!"

"And there's a guy named Lucas! Whenever I get fouled, he turns into a wounded beast, eager to get on the court and help me kill them."

"And that guy named Coutinho, my follower. I hate him the most because he follows me around just to get some assists and goals!"

"There was also a guy called Henderson who could do nothing but run around and sprint all over the field. Okay, I admit he learned some long passes later on. I taught him that! By the way, the England team he led never beat the Spain team I led!"

Lin Chen stopped talking here.

"I also want to tell them that I am a man of both integrity and responsibility. I play for the Spanish national team in order to win more honors, but I also make the most of the traffic in Chinese football and have so many Chinese fans."

Slot wiped the tears from his eyes. Lin Chen always made him laugh until his stomach hurt. "Your youth training base has trained over a hundred Chinese players who play in Europe. Even though most of them play in the Championship, more than a dozen of them are already key players for teams in the lower five leagues."

"Without these people, the Chinese team would not have been able to make it to the finals of the last World Cup qualifiers!"

"You've done everything you could, you didn't do anything wrong, Lin."

Lin Chen drank the coffee in the cup in one breath, and this time he didn't leave any for Slott.

"Let's go." Lin Chen turned around.

Slott looked at the figure in front of him, who was still the same as usual, so solid and trustworthy.

"so."

"From the next game onwards, you will be a substitute."

Lin Chen didn't look back: "You still have some conscience."

"I've been fighting for so many years, and finally I can sit on the bench and enjoy myself."
