After the glorious victory against Ankaraspor, Head Coach Escribá generously gave all players a day off.
He knew that the intense La Liga schedule was imminent but also understood that the players needed appropriate relaxation to recharge.
Thus, this rare holiday became a valuable time for the players to release pressure and adjust their condition.
Lin Feng used this holiday to specifically visit his former Villarreal B Team Head Coach, Rivaldo.
He took a car to the Villarreal B Team training ground, his heart filled with emotion along the way.
The days he spent with Rivaldo felt like yesterday, and today, he stood on a higher stage, becoming a hero of this city.
When Lin Feng walked into the training ground, Rivaldo was intently guiding the Villarreal B Team players in their training.
Seeing Lin Feng's arrival, Rivaldo's face broke into a surprised smile.
He immediately called a halt to the training and introduced him to the players: 'Look, this is our Lin Feng! He was once one of us, and now he is a capable player for the Villarreal First Team, and even a hero of this city!'
Lin Feng walked forward and shook hands tightly with Rivaldo.
Their gazes met, and in that moment, all their memories seemed to flood back.
Lin Feng said with emotion, 'Coach, long time no see.
Thank you for your meticulous guidance and cultivation back then; without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.'
Rivaldo smiled and patted Lin Feng's shoulder: 'Lin Feng, I've seen all your growth and progress.
You have not only become the pride of the Villarreal First Team but also a role model for our Villarreal B Team.
Seeing your current achievements, I am genuinely happy for you.'
After a brief but warm exchange with Head Coach Rivaldo, Lin Feng's gaze turned to his former Villarreal B Team teammates, with whom he once fought side by side.
A friendly and warm smile appeared on his face as he began to greet them one by one.
He first approached a powerfully built player, his former Villarreal B Team teammate Alberto.
The two embraced tightly as soon as they met, and Lin Feng said with a smile, 'Alberto, long time no see, you look even stronger!'
Alberto patted Lin Feng's shoulder and replied, 'Lin Feng, you too, you've become even better.
I watched your match in Turkey, that header was truly spectacular!'
His eyes were filled with admiration and envy.
Next, Lin Feng walked towards Oscar, a lean but technically outstanding player.
As they shook hands, Oscar excitedly said, 'Lin Feng, your progress is getting faster and faster, I'm almost unable to keep up with you!'
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: 'Not at all, we are just working hard in different positions.'
Their conversation caught the attention of other teammates, who all gathered around, expressing that they had also watched Lin Feng's match and praised his performance endlessly.
'Lin Feng, you are our pride now!' a teammate said, his face beaming with a proud smile.
'Yes, we are all proud of you!' another teammate added, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Lin Feng was infected by the enthusiasm of his teammates, and his heart was filled with gratitude and motivation.
He knew that it was precisely because of the support and encouragement of these former teammates that he was able to reach this point today.
At this moment, Villarreal B Team Head Coach Rivaldo also walked over with a smile, and he quipped, 'Alright, alright, lads, don't crowd Lin Feng for too long, we still have to continue training.
Otherwise, how can we catch up with Lin Feng's pace, don't you agree?'
The players all laughed at his words and nodded in agreement.
Rivaldo then turned to Lin Feng, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes: 'Lin Feng, don't get carried away just because you won one match.
You still have a long way to go, if you have the ability, bring a championship back to Villarreal, and make us all proud of you!'
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's face showed a humble yet determined smile.
He replied, 'Coach, don't worry, I won't slack off because of one victory.
I will continue to work hard and strive to win more honors for Villarreal.'
Rivaldo nodded, his smile even brighter: 'Good, that's the spirit! I believe you have that ability.
But, don't forget, our Villarreal B Team is also working hard, maybe one day we'll catch up to you.
When that happens, you'll have to be careful!'
Lin Feng responded with a smile: 'Coach, then I'll be waiting for you all to catch up.
When that time comes, we'll fight side by side again and create more brilliance for Villarreal!'
Finally, Lin Feng embraced and bid farewell to his former teammates one by one, each embrace filled with deep affection and reluctance.
'Keep it up, brothers!'
The moment he left the Villarreal B Team training ground, Lin Feng looked back at the familiar field, silently making a firm resolution in his heart.
He knew that his ability to stand at today's height was inseparable from Rivaldo's meticulous cultivation and recognition.
He kept this kindness in mind and would surely repay it with action.
