Go! Goal! Fighting!- Episode 26 -
Get out of the car.
I won't. I'll go with you wherever you go.
Don't regret it.
Don't mind the words they said.
They don't really know you.
They don't know who the real Mu Qi is.
You're always like this.
Always putting on this indifferent look. Saying the opposite of what you really feel
and pretending to be very unaffected.
Just fooling your own self.
Mu Qi, I know that you've kept a lot of secrets in your heart.
You need an exit for them.
I can be your listener. If you need to say something, you can tell it to me.
Have you finished talking?
If you're finished, get out of the car.
I'll go wherever you'll go. I'm not getting out of the car.
You don't tell me your stuff anymore, is that it?
It's not that. I just feel that this is not a big deal.
It's not as serious as you guys say it is.
Let me tell you. In a person's life, he only gets to have one chance.
He must not have any errors.
If you keep following a coach with such a bad reputation,
what future would you still have?
You want to become a professional soccer player?
Let me tell you. A professional soccer player must have professionalism.
If you continue to associate with him, won't you also become
a questionable soccer player?
I made a mistake in the past. I wish that you wouldn't
continue your mistake, too!
But I never gave up on soccer.
But you're following an immoral coach.
Those things were in the past!
Enough already. Don't make it this serious.
Overall, it's still my fault.
If in the past, I... You would be in Manchester now.
You wouldn't go to that Cui Ying High School. You wouldn't meet that
scoundrel coach. It's me... It's me who harmed you! It's all me who caused you harm!
Dad, you must believe. If in the next game,
we are able to win under Mu Shuai's leadership,
we can block off everyone's mouth.
Don't you feel that you're being too childish?
Let me tell you. If you mention Xie Yu again in the future, then don't you dare touch a soccer ball anymore.
Dad, are you a tyrant? What right do you have to not let me play soccer?
Even if I'm a tyrant, I'm still better than that immoral coach of yours.
In the end you will understand that I'm doing this all for your good.
Soccer is the most beautiful and most pure thing in this world.
It's not allowed to be dirtied.
Dad, I already told you numerous times.
Xie Yu is no longer that Xie Yu who competed drunk.
He's now Mu Qi, my coach. The person who will take me to the top 8 strongest soccer teams.
He's the person who ignited our soccer dreams.
Stupid brat. A coach
only ignited the dreams of tens of you.
But do you know that a soccer star
destroyed how many people's soccer dreams back then? Do you love soccer?
- I do.- Then leave that person!
He wasted his god-given talent. He insulted soccer.
Dad... you're the one who introduced soccer to me,
and made me understand soccer. It was Mu Qi who made me fall in love with soccer, and
let me know how much I love soccer.
That's why, I won't leave him.
I won't leave the team. And mostly, I won't leave soccer.
You're going to strongly insist on it, is that it?
Let me tell you. I've already discussed it with the other parents.
We all agreed that Xie Yu must leave the team.
If needed, we will go back to the school.
I'm going to let you know that you're not playing soccer for just one Xie Yu.
Where else do you want to go?
I'm about to run out of gas. Where else do you think I can still go?
Principal Zhong.
Hello, Mu Qi.
This thing has turned more and more serious.
I've thought about it for a long time.
In the end, the school has to let you go.
I got it. I also can understand.
I'll follow the decision of the school.
Personally, I still admire you a lot. But...
Don't say any more. I also don't want to cause you trouble.
Thank you for always looking after me.
Bye-bye.
What did the school say?
What else can they say? They're firing me.
What?
This is good. I finally can be worry-free.
Where do you want to go? Going back to your dorm?
Let me drive you then. Maybe we won't have this chance again.
We're here. Are you still not getting out of the car?
How about we look for an arcade and play for a while, vent for a while?
Or let's go to the bar we went to before and drink some wine?
Can you not be so childish? Are you coaxing a child?
Isn't it just a high school soccer team coach?
Who am I? I'm Mu Qi.
What things have I not gone through? You think I'll mind it?
What facial expression is that? You look like you're sadder than me.
Stop looking at me already!
Why do you keep staring at me like that? Do you like me?
You still have the mood to joke around when we're in this situation.
What's wrong with you?
It's all over.
I caused Mu Qi big trouble.
What does his problem have to do with you?
Actually, it was me who forced him to come back to school to give everyone an explanation.
He was forced by me that's why he took out his coaching certificate.
Then doesn't that mean that it was me who forcefully exposed the matter about the drinking?
Don't be too sad anymore.
I feel that Coach Mu is a person who has gone through so many trials already.
He definitely won't be beaten by just these small things.
I can see it.
Actually, he's very, very hurt.
He's just pretending to not care;
doesn't want to admit it.
What are you doing?
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. This illness of yours is serious.
How am I sick?
What you have is a heart illness, late stage.
You must have fallen in love with Mu Qi.
Or else, why would you be sadder than the involved person?
I'm not.
I'm just feeling wronged for him. Looking at him makes me feel bad.
I heard that Principal Zhong is firing him.
If the players learn about this,
they will surely feel bad like me.
Really?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Goalkeepers Team @ Viki
The matter is not like what you guys think it is.
The identity of the coach doesn't affect his quality of teaching.
If you guys leave your kids here with us, they will still get very good soccer training.
To learn to be a failure like him?
That's right. Right?
Everyone, we can't put it like that.
We can't let someone's mistake when he was still young deny him a fresh start forever, right?
And also, our Coach Mu does everything in his power when it comes to teaching the children.
Even if you guys look all over the city,
you won't be able to find a coach as good as Coach Mu.
How about this? For the tuition for this semester,
I'll give you guys 20% discount. How about it?
Stop saying these useless things. Hurry and give us our money back.
We're busy people. We don't have time to waste with you here.
Right. We don't have time. Hurry and give us our money back.
Hurry! Hurry!
You guys are not practicing today?
Coach!
What's going on?
Returning the tuition fee. The fake identity thing has been hyped excessively by the media.
These parents now know about it.
Coming here early this morning to get their tuition back.
If it continues like this, our training center will close down.
How about this...
Change the legal owner to your name.
I'll severe my ties with this training center.
See if those parents will come back.
What are you saying?
This training center was established by you.
You've put all your efforts and money into this.
If I tell you to leave now, how am I different from those parents?
Don't blame those parents. If I were them,
I would also not allow my child to learn soccer from a person like me.
Right? And also, it's not you who wanted me to go. It's me who wanted to leave.
Even if it's you who wanted to leave, it's not allowed.
Learning soccer from what kind of person?
What do you mean by that?
If we'd known that this would happen, we wouldn't have brought that certificate out.
That's right. It's my fault for being too rash at that time.
I also never thought that so many things would get involved in it.
Hey... keep this training center operating well.
Or else, I'll be more guilty.
Where are you going?
Move forward.
You can't be saved!
Zhong Yan.
Have you thought about how to solve Mu Qi's matter?
I thought about it the whole night. The greatest difficulties that our school is facing now
is the parents rallying together in fiery spirits,
and the media's pestering.
I also thought of a lot of ways to solve it,
but actually, the simplest way is just to fire Mu Qi.
Actually, even if I don't say it, you know that I don't like Mu Qi one bit.
I led our school team for so many years.
Although the team wasn't able to have any good performance,
even if there were no achievements, there still was hard work, right?
But when that Mu Qi came, he just suddenly squeezed me out of the team.
Actually, the person who wanted him to leave the most was me.
But I never thought that the matters that would follow
would cause you trouble. And also, the media not only did not go after
him faking his identity,
but instead kept pestering you.
Zhong Yan, I'm not stupid.
Actually, I know that towards him, you...
If you really want to make him stay this time,
I can help you think of a way.
Lu Jie, thank you for being good to me.
I already fired Mu Qi last night.
Let's just let this thing end like this.
Captain, what now?
Yesterday, when I went home, I got into a fight with my father again.
But he still insists on letting Coach Mu go.
That's right. My father will be coming here to school again.
He's saying that he will definitely make Principal give him an answer.
What are we going to do, Captain?
That's right, Captain. What should we do?
I just know that Coach Mu received our team in our most difficult state.
Step by step, he led us into the top 8.
That's why, other than Mu Shuai, no one can do this coaching job well.
I will not let him leave.
This we all know. We also think the same way,
but our parents don't think that way.
Those media people also don't think that way.
They just wanted to force Coach to leave.
Bad news! Principal has already decided to fire Mu Shuai.
What?
Wait.
Let's first unify our plea. The situation right now is like this.
The school is passing the buck. We can't rely on our parents.
The media are just waiting for Coach to be fired. That's why the only ones who can make coach stay...
- It's us.- Right! Right!. That's right!
- We must make coach stay.- Later, once we are in the principal's office,
all of the members of the soccer team do not agree with the firing of our coach!
If the principal will not agree to our demands,
we will then fight with her until the end.
- Agree?- Agree!
Okay. Brothers, we must be united. No one is allowed to get discouraged.
Let them see our determination! Let's go!
- Go!- Wait!
- Why are you guys here?- We are also members of the soccer team.
We want to exert an effort in making our coach stay.
That's good, too. The more we are the better. Let's give the principal pressure.
- Right. Right.- Okay!
We must let them see
our intention! Let's go!
Principal, I want to talk to you.
Aren't you here to attend your review classes and training sessions?
If you need to go to class, go to class. If you need to train, go train.
If there's anything, let's just talk about it afterwards.
Just give me 5 minutes, okay?
Come in then.
Just tell me what you guys need.
Principal, we don't agree to the firing of Mu Shuai.
Right. We don't agree.
The school has already made a decision regarding Coach Mu's matter. You guys can go back now.
No. Wasn't your decision to fire him?
- I don't agree to it.- Right.
We don't agree. Don't agree.
This matter is not something you guys should decide.
Why isn't it us who will decide it?
The team is our team.
The coach is our coach.
Why can't you listen first to our opinion?
Principal, we beg you.
Please give Mu Shuai another chance.
Since he started teaching us,
we finally were able to get rid of the 'third-grade soccer team' title.
It will soon be the last game of the small group stage.
Without Mu Shuai's guidance, we will surely lose.
We've already prepared a lot for this game.
It was not easy for us to finally be able to get a coach that can help us fulfill our dream.
Why must we deny his present efforts,
just because of his past mistakes?
As the principal, do you really hope that our team will just lose like this?
Don't you hope for the Cui Ying soccer team to have a good performance?
I admit that Coach Mu has spent a lot of effort,
and has contributed to the soccer team. But this cannot make up for his past mistakes.
Cui Ying is a school.
The speech and actions of a coach should be the same as the teachers'.
Playing drunk in a game,
just for that reason, he indeed can't be a coach or a teacher anymore.
Mu Shuai is a sensible person.
I don't know why he did it.
But there's one time when I cheated on my exam,
Mu Shuai drove me out of the team.
This proves that he detests falsifications.
That's why it means that he has changed.
He's already not that person from before.
That's right. With my photo incident before, it was all thanks to Coach Mu Qi's help.
I feel that he's not a person without morals and virtues.
He's just not conventional.
Is it possible that what happened to Mu Shuai previously
is actually just a misunderstanding?
That's right. Did the soccer association investigate the incident that happened in the past?
Could it be that they never gave Coach Mu a chance to explain his side of things?
In school, if we commit a mistake, the teachers must investigate it clearly first.
The most important point is that our teacher said before
that committing a mistake is fine. You just need to correct it.
How come it doesn't work with Coach Mu's case?
Nothing is better than when one who commits a mistake is able to correct one's ways afterwards.
This is also what the teachers taught us.
Are you guys here to lecture me?
Mu Qi's matters are of a grave nature.
It can't be compared with those small shortcomings that you guys have.
Principal, small shortcomings can be corrected.
But can't big shortcomings be corrected, too?
Everyone says that Coach Mu's character might be problematic.
But from what I can see, when Coach hadn't joined our team yet,
each of us had our own problems,
and so many shortcomings. But since Coach arrived,
he led us to grow up along the way,
and fight. We slowly changed.
You must have seen all this. Just like me and Zhou Jingwei.
The two of us were able to return to the game
because of Mu Shuai's help.
If our entire team is changing, is growing up,
but only Coach Mu doesn't get this chance,
you feel that's fair?
Your 5 minutes is up. You guys go back now.
Principal! Principal! Principal!
We failed.
Okay, disperse if you need to.
Firing Mu Qi was the school's decision.
Go do what you need to do.
No, we are not going.
Yes, we are not going.
Unless the head teacher takes back the decision to fire Mu Qi,
we will not leave.
Alright.
Teacher Pei, the students of the soccer team have caused trouble again.
- What? - In order to keep Teacher Mu, Wang Jingke
decided to protest in front of the school building.
The director and the principal are also there to persuade them to quickly return to class,
but none of them are returning.
I think for this matter, we still need Teacher Mu to come out.
Teacher Pei, do you know where Teacher Mu is?
I will ask him now.
Qi Qi, how about this?
You should go back there and tell them that they must calm down.
I will go to find Teacher Mu right now.
Okay.
Xiao Hei, where is Mu Qi?
He left.
In order to not get the training centre involved.
Why? Didn't he establish this place with his own hand?
Many parents who have seen the news have made a scene over quitting school.
I was also wrong. I just complained a bit to Mu Qi.
He thinks it's his responsibility, so he decided to quit.
Then do you know where Mu Qi could be now?
- I don't know. - Please think at least.
I must find him.
You know his students have gone to the principal to stage a sit-in,
just so that the school won't fire him.
You mean those high school students?
These kids are quite loyal.
But I really don't know where Mu Qi went. He didn't tell me anything when he left.
Okay then.
Teacher Pei, I also don't hope for Mu Qi to return to the shadows.
I hope that you will find him. Persuade him.
Xiao Hei, can you tell me?
In those years, why did Mu Qi gamble, drink and purposely lose games?
You said that it's because of you, but looking at his response, I don't think it's that simple.
Xiao Hei, the crucial reason for the whole thing
is a previous problem.
If I clear up the entire process,
then perhaps Mu Qi won't have to carry such pressure.
I've said everything that I can say.
I promised Mu Qi that I would keep his secret.
If you want to know more,
you should find him and ask him yourself.
Does it have something to do with that Na Na?
How do you know?
Surely you don't think that that girl is Mu Qi's girlfriend?
I will promise you. She definitely is not.
There's Yu Fei and there's Na Na.
How many girls does this Mu Qi have to owe debts to?
Stop accusing him. He is not that type of person.
Then what type of person is he?
Aren't you and he good brothers? Tell me!
We all know what kind of person he is!
He is a loyal person.
Mu Qi is gone and he's still causing all these problems.
Zhong Yan, don't be too worried.
These kids must have been bewitched by Mu Qi.
They will be fine after awhile.
Zhong Yan, are you regretting firing Mu Qi?
Before, Mu Qi was really a famous soccer star.
He didn't even care about being a coach at Cui Ying Charter High School.
So you don't need to feel sorry.
He chose to give up himself. You only did what a principal should do.
I know. Mu Qi never cared completely about the school.
It was just convenient to be a coach.
Lu Jie, no matter what, I still need to thank you.
With all this stress, it's only you that helped me carry it.
If I hadn't had you, I don't know what I would have done.
Don't you worry. With me,
you will always have someone by your side.
Hey, brother, your phone.
Hello? The customer is drunk. Can you find someone to pick him up?
Hello?
Tell me.
Mu Qi. Where is Mu Qi?
How can you drink like this?
Come back home with me.
[Court Summons]
Hello, Professor?
What? They are still together protesting?
Alright, I will come back immediately.
I will go persuade them to leave.
Never mind. These kids won't be persuaded by you.
We can't just continue to waste time.
Teacher Pei.
Students, using this way of confronting the school will not solve the problem.
It will just become a dead end.
It is already very late now. Listen to Teacher:
Go home first. Leave here first, please.
Teacher Pei, we've already discussed this.
If we can't get back Teacher Mu, we will not leave.
If you want Teacher Mu to return,
then you need to have good behavior, not just sit here.
The school can't just not respect our opinions.
We are expressing our own opinions, which is better than doing nothing.
There's nothing wrong with expressing your own opinions,
but you are using passive ways to express them.
What would the school think then?
The school would only think that it was Mu Qi who put you up to this.
Then it would be even harder for Teacher Mu to come back.
Our attempt to use normal negotiations has already failed.
We can only use extreme ways.
There is always more than one way.
However, being blind and impulsive is never desirable.
Then what should we do now?
Everyone go home. Please believe in me.
I, like all of you, also want Teacher Mu to return quickly.
I will promise you all that I will use the best of my capabilities to communicate with the school.
And furthermore, convince them until they accept.
Students, I think Teacher Pei is right.
Us wasting time is not right.
What do you think?
- Believe in Teacher Pei. - Let's go. Go home first
Here.
Your legs are numb, aren't they? Quickly go home and rest.
My feet are numb.
They have finally dispersed. Right, are you hungry? I will take you to eat something.
I'm not hungry. You can go first.
Then I'll take you home.
No need. Although the students have left, the situation isn't finished yet.
There is a lot to be busy with tomorrow. Quickly go home and rest.
- Principal Zhong. - Pei Duo.
Today has been all thanks to you, and I've made you come all the way here.
Principal Zhong, can I discuss something with you?
Then you two talk, I will leave first.
Zhong Yan, send me a message when you arrive at home.
Okay.
Principal Zhong, can you give Mu Qi another chance?
Why are you so setting your heart on Mu Qi's situation?
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not here to beg you due to personal reasons.
It doesn't matter if it's because of the school team or because of Mu Qi,
I think there is no need.
It's because I think that the way Mu Qi thought about his job as a sports coach
was as something that he would never spare a glance for.
No, he cared about it.
In fact, he really cared about it.
It's just his inner pride stopped him from expressing it.
If he didn't care about it,
he didn't have to deceive himself and others, pretending to be brave.
If he didn't care,
after he learned of his dismissal, he didn't have to
make himself unconscious, and pretend to be calm.
If he didn't care,
for the sake of a local high school, he wouldn't need to
do so much schoolwork.
This is the soccer team's training schedule and match records.
He did so much analyses, and made so many preparations.
I always thought the materials I prepared myself,
the data I collected, were comprehensive and accurate enough.
When I saw these records,
I knew that compared to Mu Qi,
the materials I made were not even worth showing.
Principal, if our school loses such a coach,
it is truly a loss to the school.
I think the decision on the matter, I will reconsider.
Thank you, Principal.
You've returned.
- Dad. - Dad.
- Dad. - We are sorry.
We came back home late.
It's good if you can return home.
The reason we returned so late is that we were kept at school.
The teachers wanted to fire my coach, Teacher Mu.
So a lot of the students stayed at school,
hoping the teachers could change their opinions.
Mingluan also accompanied me.
Teacher Mu is not a bad person. He was just misunderstood,
so we couldn't just sit there watching him being fired.
Your coach must be a very good person.
But people, once making a mistake...
it's very hard to go back.
You two, go wash and sleep.
Dad has just gone to sleep. Then everything is fine now.
Oh my. I was scared to death just then. He was sitting there not moving at all.
I thought he was going to burst, but didn't say anything.
I wish that dad could get angry.
Like a normal father.
If kids come home late, he should tell us off at the top of his voice.
Not like just then, hanging his head dispiritedly.
Do you still know to come back? What time is it already?
Don't get angry. Listen to me explain.
You don't learn to be good. You only learn to make your dad angry and worried.
Don't be angry. I didn't do anything bad.
I used my energy for justice.
Used energy, my ass!
Stop wasting your time. If you come home this late again,
don't come back home again!
I should just go to the internet café and not come back!
You!
Dad, have you not slept yet?
Sorry, I came home late.
Quickly go wash and sleep.
Jingwei, I know you have a very deep connection with your coach.
But I really hope this matter won't
affect your grades.
Rest assured, Dad. This will not affect my studies.
Dad, the reason that I support my coach,
it's because of this.
One time, Teacher Mu asked me how I shared responsibilities in household duties with my father.
I said that I tried to help my dad drive night cabs as much as possible.
He told me off, and said I had no brain.
He told me that there were many ways to care for a father.
For example, if his back was bad, I could buy a back pillow.
I didn't have the credentials, and still drove.
I did what Teacher Mu told me to do.
So, today I bought this.
Actually, Dad, I don't think that Teacher Mu is a bad man.
Son, I believe your judgement.
Okay, quickly go and wash now.
