"Congratulations, congratulations on becoming a grandfather at such a young age. Alas, I can't be envious."

"Haha, I've already risen to my grandfather's generation, and it feels a little bit wrong. I still want to continue to be younger for a few years, but my son's pace of life has accelerated, so I have no choice but to accept it. To be honest, I still have no real feeling at all."

"It's normal not to have a sense of reality, because our average age is pulled down by the coach in the team, and we always feel like we are still very young."

"The only young one is the coach. What gold do you put on your face? You are over fifty years old and you think you are talking about."

"You can be young even over fifty years old. The mentality is the most important thing! How about the baby's height and weight when he was born? Are he still healthy? Can you tell me what talent is now? Should I play rugby in the future?"

"I'm just born talking about football? Is it too early?"

"By the way, then this offseason, are you still going fishing with those old guys? Or are you going to go and spend time with your grandson?"

"The grandson is a grandson, and I am me, what's the matter? Of course, you still have to fish. You can rest for only one month throughout the year. What about you? Or continue playing golf? I just don't understand. I exercise here every day, so why are you still interested in golf when you rest."

"Golf, that's different...hey, that's different!"

The laughter and jokes of the coaching staff members in the tactical conference room were intertwined. After experiencing the tense sprint in the second half of the season, the tense nerves can finally relax a little, and the laughter also becomes relaxed, so that the coaches can clearly feel the relaxation of the coaches.

When Lu Yiqi pushed the door and entered the conference room, he was involuntarily infected with this joyful joy. After asking, he learned that offensive forward coach Joe Philbin has officially become the "grandfather" this week, and he is only 47 years old this year, and he is still very young for his grandfather.

Lu Yiqi also followed up to congratulate Philbin, and then wide receiver coach Ben McAdou asked Lu Yiqi about his offseason plan with great enthusiasm. At this time, Lu Yiqi noticed that the coaching staff members were discussing the offseason plan.

For professional league coaches and players, the actual vacation time for the whole year is only about one month, that is, February, because the first or second week of March is the time when the free market officially opens. Before that, the team must be the first to complete the contract renewal and determine the introduction and draft of the offseason based on their own situation.

Strictly speaking, the real vacation is only one to two weeks.

Of course, teams who miss the playoffs are exceptions. They can relax and enjoy a rare vacation throughout January's playoff time.

During vacation, traveling to sunny beaches and islands is a common choice, while Miami, Florida, is the first choice for countless players and coaches, briefly escaping the severe cold winter of the North American continent, enjoying the warmth and comfort of the Caribbean coast, and truly relaxing.

The coaches are naturally no exception.

However, isn’t it too early to start discussing the vacation now?

Lu Yiqi's expression was slightly strange.

But Lu Yiqi did not recklessly destroy the atmosphere on the scene. He could see that all the coaches were discussing enthusiastically, including Joe Philbin and linebacker coach Winston Morse.

Before joining in the offseason, Lu Yiqi left an impression of Philbin and Winston - because they were supposed to take over the position of offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator, but were replaced by Augustus and Robert. These two coaches whose abilities and connections are not to be underestimated are likely to become time bombs.

However, the actual cooperation process proves that Lu Yiqi is too concerned. Compared with the intriguing media industry, the internal struggles of competitive sports are not that complicated. On the one hand, the full support of team manager Thompson, and on the other hand, the professional quality of professional coaches, they have been in peace all season.

Although it is not close, there are no fierce conflicts. The two sides always maintain a polite and professional cooperative relationship.

Until today.

Forget Philbin, who is "people are in a happy mood when they are happy", is not allowed to have fun, and the happiness and joy flow without any concealment; but Winston, who is usually low-key, is chatting and laughing, and his humorous and witty conversation can always make his colleagues burst into laughter and show his personal charm.

Only then can we see the original appearance of Winston, who "supported McCarthy to the top but accurately grasped the context and changed the camp at critical moments."

However, weirdness is just weirdness, and it is far from being conspiracy - everyone is just discussing offseason plans, there is no need to make a fuss. Don’t you allow everyone to imagine a bright future in the offseason? So Lu Yiqi suppressed the faint weirdness and started chatting with McArdu.

"It should still be necessary to work during the offseason." Lu Yiqi said half-jokingly, "There is no way, because of lack of experience, I can only rely on time to make up for it. I need to speed up."

McAdu could also see that Lu Yiqi was joking, and then patted his forehead with some exaggeration, "The coach has done this, so do we have to keep up?"

The exaggerated wail made everyone laugh.

The chatting of laughter continued for a while, and then the coaching team devoted themselves to formal work, but the briskness of every move was still spreading. The laughter inadvertently interspersed in the discussion made today's work full of a light atmosphere, and this relaxed freehand painting continued to the team's recovery training.

Today is Tuesday. According to convention, the team conducts simple recovery training and then performs tactical training for game video review, slowly adjusting its state for the next game.

From the chaos at the beginning of the season to the self-doubt in the middle of the season to the unity at the end of the season, the Green Bay Packers could feel the joy, but unexpectedly, they actually entered the playoffs and successfully achieved the goal after the offseason shock.

It can even be said that the goal was achieved beyond expectations!

This is indeed a time worth having fun and celebrating. Not only the expression of conversation, but also the physical movements of the resumption of training can be felt. The laughter just scattered on the court. It seems that Green Bay can also feel this light joy, and the sky clears up. The warm golden sunshine spreads the entire court, and the haze and gloom of the cold winter are completely unsatisfied.

This should be a good thing - this is indeed a good thing, but Lu Yiqi vaguely felt a burst of uneasy, and it was difficult to describe it clearly in words, but he began to doubt whether this uneasy was unnecessary.
Chapter completed!
