Andy, for the first time ever, asked Tuchel for leave!
The latter readily agreed!
Andy has been the only one in the entire club who has never missed a game, rain or shine.
Tuher couldn't wait for him to get a few days of rest.
In the meeting room on the second floor of the restaurant, Tom told everything.
On Andy's first day in Benfica's youth academy, the club received a sponsorship fee!
The top management's main focus is on getting paid to do things!
From his entry into the development center, to becoming a member of the elite team, and then to skipping levels and joining the youth team.
Every step was part of Andy's mother Flora's plan!
Of course, Andy's own abilities also meet the standards!
With so many resources allocated to the youth training base, it's hard to imagine things not going well.
Until Andy was diagnosed with ALS!
Benfica's management has made a decision they'll regret for the rest of their lives.
Tom was initially a member of Benfica's scouting network.
Because of his close relationship with Andy, he got extra "work"!
Flora helped him become a team leader, and then a strength and conditioning coach.
"Andy, you have a wonderful mother!"
"You have no idea how devastated she was when she found out you were diagnosed with ALS!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen her lose her composure in public."
After hearing his teacher recount everything, Andy was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.
It turns out she sacrificed so much for me!
Andy recalled the harsh words he had uttered to his mother on the phone.
My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, throbbing with pain!
His eyes gradually welled up with tears, and guilt grew wildly in his heart like vines, tightly binding him!
At the same time, there is also a sense of joy at something lost and then found again!
I am not a child without a mother!
My mom is great!
She has been watching herself grow up!
Andy looked at Tom and saw that the other was also in tears.
After more than a decade of getting along, we're not family, but we're closer than family!
"Teacher, could you please call my mom?"
Upon hearing this, Tom quickly took out his phone and dialed the number!
Despite the heavy traffic outside, the dial tone from the receiver was exceptionally clear.
"Tom?Is something wrong with Andy?"
Andy's tears finally broke free at that moment!
He choked back tears as he said, ".Mom!It's me, Andy."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time!
Longing is silent, yet deafening!
At that moment, the little grudge in Andy's heart vanished!
Tom carefully stepped out the door, leaving the mother and son room to talk.
Outside the door, Comrade Lao An inquired with concern:
"How is he?My son."
Seeing Tom nod, he finally felt relieved and pulled him downstairs for a drink.
No matter your age, whether you're successful or have achieved nothing.
No matter how hurtful the things you said to her in the past.
In your mother's eyes, you will always be her child.
Her most beloved treasure!
Half an hour later, Andy walked out of the room.
His face was beaming with happiness!
The only knot in my heart has finally been untied!
As soon as he got downstairs, he shouted to Comrade Lao An:
"Dad!We don't need to work the day after tomorrow!Come with me to the airport to pick up Mom!"
Meanwhile, Flora, who had already returned to Brazil, called her assistant to her office.
"Lina, book two tickets to Dortmund for the day after tomorrow!My son invited me to watch his match!"
The assistant was taken aback upon hearing this!
"Boss, you have a signing ceremony to attend the day after tomorrow.Okay!"
The boss's son?
As Flora's most trusted confidante, Lina knew her boss's situation all too well!
That last sentence contained a lot of information!
But the only thing she could be sure of was.
Even if the company is abandoned, the boss will not miss his son's invitation!
So Lina readily agreed, then looked at Flora with a delighted expression.
"Andy invited you to watch the game?"
"He finally understands your good intentions!"
"This is truly something to celebrate, sis!"
Flora, unlike her usual aloof self, beamed with a happy smile, making the office atmosphere much warmer.
"How about this, you don't need to book the plane tickets yet."
"I'll contact a private jet in a bit."
"Draft a notice that everyone should put down their work and come with us the day after tomorrow."
"The company will cover all the expenses.Just think of it as a trip so everyone can relax."
When everyone heard the news, they shouted "Long live the boss!"
"What?The boss has a son?And he's playing football in Germany?"
"Don't worry, Manager!I will definitely do my best to cheer for Andy!"
"I've wanted to travel to Germany for ages!"
"I believe Andy is qualified to represent the national team in the Copa America, and he is the only one who should start at left-back!"
The following day, at the Dortmund training ground.
Andy's performance shocked the entire coaching staff!
"Boss, did Andy get a max contract?"
"Yeah, that's way too much!"
Tuchel waved his hand!
"He wouldn't be himself if he didn't give it his all!Everyone, be careful, and make sure the data is accurate!"
After training, Tuchel called Andy aside.
"Andy, you look great today.Is something that made you happy?"
"Boss, my mother will be at the next game to watch it."
Commander Tu suddenly realized!
"You can't do that!What if you get hurt!"
Did you request a private box from the club?
Andy waved his hands repeatedly.
"I've already spoken to the manager, and he's reserved two private rooms for me."
"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'm going to practice my free kicks some more.I haven't met my target for today!"
Tuchel smiled as he watched Andy turn and run back onto the field.
Which head coach wouldn't love a player like that?
He's even starting to feel anxious and insecure!
All good things must come to an end.
Regardless of whether he can coach Andy in the future, I hope my beloved student can achieve great things!
March 10, the day before the Europa League Round of 16.
The Dortmund vs.Tottenham Hotspur match is not the focus of the media!
The Liverpool vs.Manchester United match at the same time was the one that generated the most discussion!
The four teams are divided into one half of the bracket, and the two teams that advance will continue their Europa League campaign as opponents in the quarterfinals.
The scene of Tottenham's press conference.
Head coach Pochettino's squad list is somewhat intriguing.
The key players are all on the roster, but there are also many substitutes and even reserve players.
This inevitably leads to speculation!
Is Tottenham going to deliberately forfeit their Europa League match?
Pochettino remained remarkably calm in the face of reporters' questions.
"We are competing on two fronts, and player rotation is all planned."
"The team will do everything in its power to advance to the next round."
All that talk amounted to nothing.
However, many people also expressed their understanding towards Tottenham!
They are currently second in the Premier League standings!
They are only 5 points behind Leicester City, the dark horse of the season!
The Europa League matches will definitely affect their focus on the league.
so!
Competing for the league title offers the best value for money!
Pochettino could make any choice.
(But unfortunately, they encountered the Blue Fox Miracle.)
