Even without his connections anymore, Trigella's years of dedicated work at Lisbon Athletic were not for nothing.
After Augustus got the boot, Trigella could at least serve as an interim coach for a while.
His return to the first team was just a matter of time.
This time, going down to the U17 was a chance to clear his mind.
And also an opportunity to nurture talents like Deng Kai and Ronaldo, reliving the days of cultivating prodigious football stars.
Isn't that how ancient and venerable officials used to retire to their hometowns?
To step back is to come back stronger.
When the time comes, Lisbon Athletic's top brass will have to carry Trigella back on a palanquin.
"Then we must congratulate you in advance, sir!" Deng Kai didn't hesitate, downing a glass of honey water, "I've finished mine, you're welcome to yours. But honestly, playing in the U17 now might not mean much for me and Ronaldo anymore."
