"Replace me as team leader?"
When Zhao Feiyang heard his agent David Stock's description, he obviously couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Come on! What on earth is this guy thinking? Does he think I can lead the team because the team asked me to be the leader?" ?”
"David, tell the team that I have no problem with this request..."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Feiyang really didn't know what to say.
The matter of being a team leader comes from the recognition of other people, and it is not something that the team thinks will work.
If you are not strong enough, even if the team supports you, unless you can directly trade someone who does not listen to you, otherwise, you will be ignored if you cannot get the recognition of the players.
