Chapter 506: Take over the mess

Views:

"The defendant is not guilty of first-degree murder and not guilty of assaulting a police officer." The judge said, slamming down the hammer.

Dai Li walked out of the dock and immediately walked towards lawyer Wilfrid and shook hands with him.

"Thank you very much, Lawyer Wilfrid." Dai Li said.

"Mr. Li, this is what I should do, and I always firmly believe that you are innocent." With a smile on his chubby face, Wilfrid won the case and received a generous sum of money. The legal fees are worth opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate when he gets home.

After walking out of the court, Blake was already waiting there in his car. Dai Li said goodbye to lawyer Wilfrid, and then got into Blake's car.

"First of all, congratulations on winning the lawsuit." Blake said, handing a letter to Dai Li: "Take a look, this is an invitation letter I just received, from the United States Track and Field Association, and they asked you to go Be the head coach of the U.S. National Track and Field Team!”

"Ask me to be the head coach of the U.S. track and field team!" Dai Li didn't know whether to suspect that his ears were not working properly or that Blake was not working well with his mouth. He is not an American. Normally, the powerful American track and field team would not find a foreign head coach to coach.

"When I first saw this invitation letter, I thought it was a prank! How could the U.S. national track and field team find a Chinese as its head coach? But I have called the Athletics Association to confirm that it is true." Bray K said as he started the car.

The car was driving at a steady speed, and Dai Li looked at the invitation carefully. He read it three times from beginning to end before asking: "What do you think of this invitation letter?"

"There are advantages and disadvantages! Being able to become the head coach of the US team can greatly increase your popularity, and it will also have certain benefits for the future development of our training center. This is considered a positive aspect." Blake slowed down a bit. speed, and then said:

"As for the disadvantages, this year's U.S. track and field team is really bad. I called Alvin before I came here. He told me that the current U.S. track and field team is still half short of athletes. Those who can Most of the athletes who won gold medals in the Olympics were involved in doping scandals and withdrew from this U.S. team. This U.S. team will be the worst U.S. team in history. Leading such a team to the Olympics, It's like going to die. No matter who becomes the head coach, they will have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the Olympic Games. So if you ask me, I think being the head coach of the US Track and Field Team will do more harm than good. I suggest you not agree to it. , just reject the Athletics Association."

Dai Li nodded, but did not answer.

Dai Li's performance made Blake feel an ominous possibility. Based on his understanding of Dai Li, it didn't look like he was refusing to accept the track and field association.

"You are not planning to be the head coach, are you? I admit that being the head coach of the U.S. track and field team does sound very prestigious, but you also have to shoulder corresponding responsibilities. Don't be dazzled by the superficial glory. .If you think about it carefully, there are so many outstanding track and field coaches in the United States. It is impossible for all of them to be involved in the Gaojin scandal, right? There will always be some people who are not involved, but why don't they become the head coach of the national team? , even if there are so many American coaches, if this is really a good job, how could it fall on you, a Chinese coach?"

Blake's tone was a little anxious, and he continued to persuade: "The current U.S. track and field team is really bad. Not to mention the shortage of major generals, and its strength is no longer the best in the world. The results of this Olympics must be disastrous. This is simply It’s a losing bet, why would you waste your time betting when you know you can’t win?”

Blake's anxious look made Dai Li laugh, and he said, "It seems that I haven't created enough miracles over the years!"

"Are you really going to take over that mess?" Blake asked rhetorically.

"Don't you think it's interesting to challenge the impossible?" Dai Li asked with a smile.

Blake shook his head: "I don't think that is an interesting thing at all. I still like the taste of victory. I would rather lead a team that will never fail than challenge something impossible."

"It's no fun to lead a team that always wins! The opponents you encounter are always weaklings who don't pose any threat to you. Over time, the joy of victory will be diluted. You will get used to winning and lose your opponent. The joy of victory can even make you feel numb. Just imagine, if competitive sports are always one-sided and lose the thrill of close competition, it would be as refreshing as watching soap operas in front of the TV." Dai Li said.

"How do you know this?" Blake asked subconsciously.

"Have you forgotten that I once worked as a physical fitness coach in such a team? It was our country's table tennis team. It was boring to always win." Li Dai sighed and said, Yi Zhuan then said: "Don't worry. Before taking over this mess, I will understand it clearly and know myself and my enemy. I will not fight a battle that I am not sure about."

Dai Li came to the headquarters of the United States Track and Field Association and met with Williams, CEO of the United States Track and Field Association.

"Coach Li, welcome!" Williams seemed very enthusiastic. He invited Dai Li to the reception room, and then personally introduced the situation of the US track and field team to Dai Li.

Li Dai actually knew all the information about the US team that Williams introduced. He had already received a lot of information from Alvin before he came, and it was all information about the training front line, which was far better than what Williams said. Much more detailed.

"Mr. Williams, according to you, we haven't even gathered enough athletes to participate?" Dai Li asked.

"That's it for the time being, but we are still recruiting athletes." Williams nodded.

"As far as I know, we must submit the list of all participating athletes to the International Olympic Committee before July 15, and now there is only more than a week away from this time limit." Li Dai continued.

Williams nodded awkwardly: "That's true. Our time is very tight."

"Then do you think it is possible for us to recruit enough athletes before the time limit set by the International Olympic Organizing Committee?" Li Dai continued to ask.

"Our athletics association is working hard to do this." Williams gave an ambiguous answer, which actually showed that he was not confident about it.

"Mr. Williams, if that's the case, I have a request." Dai Li said.

Dai Li's request did not surprise Williams. Since he was willing to take over this mess, it was impossible not to mention any conditions.

"Coach Li, please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse." Williams said.

"I want the right to select the participating athletes. Half of the athletes in the U.S. track and field team have not yet been determined. I hope I can personally select these athletes!" Li Dai said.
