He looked very young in other coaches like Oscar Liete.
There were 2 assistant coaches and 1 goalkeeper coach.
And after Oscar Leite finished his speech, the others took turns introducing themselves.
"I am assistant coach Marcel Buena, it is my greatest wish to have a good season with all of you." said.
The other started talking.
"And I am also the other assistant coach, Marco Fox, I hope we do our best by working together." said.
The goalkeeping coach was silent.
He didn't start talking.
"Hey hey, the whole team is looking at you. Start talking. " said assistant coach Marcel.
"Oh, how did he come to me now and again…" the goalkeeping coach sighed and started talking.
"I am Tio Diaz, the new goalkeeping coach of the team. It's just that. " said.
He was also yawning while saying these.
Everyone introduced themselves.
"Since everybody introduces themselves, let's start training." said manager Oscar Leite.
"Yes boss." said the whole team.
"Did they say, boss? You heard it too, right? " Marcel said.
"Yes yes, I heard it too." Diaz said.
"Indeed, this team will be fun." he continued.
"Marcel, Marco you know what to do." Oscar said.
Marcel and Marco walked all the way to the midfield.
The whole team was looking at them.
Marcel was wearing a yellow vest and Marco was wearing a red vest.
"Everyone will participate in the training we will do now, including the goalkeepers. We are 23 people now. I will run with you. There will be 24 people with me. We will be divided into 2 teams. These two teams, which will consist of 12 people, will be divided into yellow and red vests. My expectation from everyone is that he will run without getting tired, tired of giving up until the end of the specified time! " said.
"Yes Boss." said the whole team again.
"Oh, I'm trying hard not to laugh. I guess I can't get used to them calling Oscar the boss. " Marco said. While he was saying these, he was grinning from the midfield.
"Take it easy, we'll test all of them in a moment. Don't laugh and attract attention. " Marcel said solemnly.
"You're not kidding either…" Marco sighed.
2 teams were created.
Helder and manager Oscar was on the same team.
It was Goalkeeper Coach Diaz who held the minute and waited with the whistle.
"Is everybody ready?" Diaz shouted.
And blew the whistle…
***
5 minutes later…
"Hey, how long will this running workout take?" someone said.
10 minutes later…
"Ah, my eyes are getting dark."
15 minutes later…
"I am going to take my breath away, enough now!" someone said.
20 minutes later...
"We're running at full pace… I'm exhausted." someone said.
25 minutes later…
"Is the coach not enough anymore? someone asked.
After 30 min…
Goalkeeper Coach finally blew the whistle.
"We finished the first stage of training. The winners are the red vest team. " shouted the goalkeeping coach Diaz.
The whole team was out of breath.
Some footballers even threw themselves to the ground.
Helder had a lot of trouble.
Because they rushed forward with 100% of them and they ran back with all their strength in the same way.
Only a few footballers and Helder had endured all this running practice.
But what they didn't expect was that.
The manager had run with them, as known by Oscar.
And even the slightest fatigue was not seen in Oscar.
"Is this a joke?"
"Is this a human? How does he never tire? "
"Actually scary…"
All the young footballers were talking.
"What's scary is that the team's condition is very bad." Helder was thinking.
"Have you rested enough?" the manager asked Oscar.
"What to rest, not even 1 minute!" said the young footballer rebelliously.
"Do you think a team in the last rank of the league like you have the right to rest?" Oscar said very solemnly.
Everyone was speechless.
"I see you understand me. So we move on to the next stage. " said
"Goalkeepers, you can leave now." he continued ...
***
The training was over.
There was only one thing the whole team was thinking about.
"This manager and coaches have no pity."
When the training ended, everyone was on the ground, including Helder.
Both the goalkeepers and the other players had been so forced that they had no strength to walk.
"That's enough for today. The fact that you get so tired after 30 minutes of running and special tactical sets obviously make me think. But don't worry. Never forget the pain you are experiencing right now. You will look to the future with hope thanks to the pain you are experiencing right now." said the manager Oscar.
He left the field with the assistant coaches.
"Ah, this kid is really crazy!"
"It was perfect in my private goalkeeper training sessions." said his goalkeeping coach Diaz.
"You didn't captain this boy for nothing, Oscar." he continued.
"Helder Xerxes… someone just as I thought." sighed the manager Oscar.
***
One of the strangest ones was this.
Although Helder Xerxes died in 2021, he followed football very closely.
And neither Oscar Leite nor any of the other assistant coaches remembered their names.
Or did not know.
The future he knew was now completely changed, not just in small things.
Helder Xerxes, Oscar Leite, Marcel Buena, Marco Fox, Tio Diaz…
They were the names that held the future of the Brest club.
Lee Long was looking forward to what would happen ...
Destiny had begun its game now!
