Li Wei flashed a smile and stood up as if nothing had happened.
This made Coach Reed sigh inwardly. The post-game press conference could wait; he walked over to Li Wei and sat down awkwardly beside him.
"Come, sit with me for a while."
Li Wei was taken aback, "But, the press conference..."
Coach Reed ignored him, "Are you still thinking about the game?"
Li Wei did not immediately reply. He looked at Reed and then realized that his recent demeanor must have caught the coach's eyes; so, he sat down again beside the coach.
"Yes."
"I always can't help thinking, if I had been a bit faster in that free kick attempt, could I have changed the football's trajectory?"
"Or maybe, if I could have done something more during the game. Even though Sherlock keeps blaming himself, honestly, I didn't perform well in this game, I should take more responsibility..."
A torrent of words halted abruptly at the tip of his tongue.
