In the dressing room, I always look at my players, who have just warmed up from the stadium and are ready to play.
It’s twenty minutes before the game.
This is the last moment when a coach can still exert influence on the team before a game. No coach will wave it for more than ten minutes.
Every coach will say something more or less, either to boost the morale of the players, to appease the players or to throw cold water on the players to calm them down.
Changsheng naturally wants to say something.
To tell the truth, before he really became a coach, he finally thought that the head coach was the most handsome. Apart from on-the-spot command, he scolded Fang Qiu to a group of players in the locker room, which made him feel like a general.
Every time he plays FM, he is very careful in pre-match training. He will make different training according to the state, position and characteristics of different players.
Even if this effect is not necessarily comparable to "letting the assistant coach do it for him", it will give him a sense of accomplishment and reality that he is a real head coach.
Now he’s not on YY’s brain screen. He’s used to saying some passionate or calm words to more than a dozen players with different expressions in the locker room.
And today he is going to tell you a story.
"something happened at the Christmas dinner, and I know you should have heard about it. Although you are all a group of old men, your divination is comparable to those of women and journalists."
He watched the players react.
Someone in the crowd laughed.
It was Chang Sheng’s confrontation with Sohler at the Christmas dinner, and it soon spread all over Valencia Club. In fact, no one present at that time noticed it. I don’t know who finally accidentally leaked the news or … simply someone deliberately announced it.
Soon everyone knew that Changsheng was having dinner with Sohler, the vice chairman of the club and the second shareholder of the club.
But not many people know exactly why.
"What am I and the vice chairman of the club? In fact, I don’t want to say that this truth is really demoralizing, but I think you will know sooner or later. It’s better to know it earlier-it’s very simple that our beloved vice chairman, Mr. Sohler, thinks we can’t win the season league championship! "
In the dressing room, the players’ faces are smiling and waiting to hear the hexagrams.
Because they didn’t expect the truth to be this!
Sohler is the vice president of the club. He doesn’t believe the team can win the championship? This is really enough to hit people!
We won one game after another in the front, and our vice chairman thought we would lose in the back …
What’s going on?
"What do you think we can’t get him? Because our opponent is very strong, stronger than Real Madrid! It’s so powerful that such a strong team was beaten by us five times at home! " Chang Sheng said rudely that some players burst into laughter.
The best way for a man to adjust the atmosphere is to say something vulgar and yellow.
Constant victory and vulgarity make the players feel that this head coach is more accessible.
"And our dear Vice-President thinks that it is foolish for me to say that we want to win the championship in the 16th round of the league, because my words will put us in danger and anger our opponents such as Real Madrid, so that we will encounter a lot of resistance in the game. His reasons sound perfect. Yes, we have angered our powerful opponents. Are we really in trouble?"
"If we are timid for fear of offending our opponents, then why should we compete for the league title? And I’m still afraid of a guy who was beaten by our team with five goals, so I can’t do anything in my life, but we love Mr. Sohler, and he did it! He is really something! "
"Obviously, we love the vice chairman. He doesn’t have a champion’s heart, but I hope you do. Every one of you has a reason to compete for the league championship. I need each of you to contribute your strength instead of being a spectator and looking forward to getting something for nothing. I want you to tell a story with a champion’s heart."
"Everyone knows that I coached in Hertha last season, which was a second-division team. Before the season, it was just a thrilling relegation, and at the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic. All of us thought that we would win if we could avoid relegation this season, but they didn’t know that I wanted to lead such a team to upgrade, and then we met Seville in the league. Like today, we were away from home. I was desperate for victory and paid a two-game suspension. Do you want to hear what happened?"
Changsheng said
The players are very interested, and not everyone knows clearly what happened before their head coach.
Reyes’ expression is slightly unnatural.
Because he knows what story Changsheng will tell next.
Sure enough, Changsheng told himself how Rondo shoveled Reyes’ leg.
At this time, all the players were surprised and looked at Chang Sheng and Reyes. They really didn’t know that the manager and Reyes were still telling such stories …
"… I was banned by the Football Association for two games after the game." Chang Sheng spread his hand after telling the story of the game. "At that time, my colleague asked me if it was worthwhile to fight like this after a game. Anyway, even if we lost to Seville, we didn’t get the promotion qualification at that time, but I chose to do it. Besides, I didn’t have a grudge against Sai Zhen … What should I do? What? What I did seemed unnecessary, and I might be stuck in a hospital bed for a year and a half. Why do I have to do this? Why do you have to pursue victory in this game? "
Changsheng kept asking questions, and he was also asking the players.
Yeah, what?
Isn’t it just a game? What if you lose?
Losing a game is not the end of the world-we always console ourselves like this, and it is also the case. Aren’t we still alive after losing a game?
"It’s very simple. For Hertha at that time, Seville, who had just been relegated from the first division, was still a behemoth. They were the favourites to upgrade and win the championship. It’s normal for us to lose compared with them, even if we were lucky to draw in the end, but I don’t want my players to think so. I demand that they must win at all costs! A team’s temperament confidence is not cultivated by winning the weak teams by five goals or ten goals, but by the strong teams fighting to the death and finally defeating them! In the end, we won the game, although we paid some price, but we won that season. We upgraded to the previous four rounds and won the championship in the previous round. Finally, we defeated the third runner-up Mallorca in the First Division in the King’s Cup final and won the King’s Cup. "
Ever-victorious said stand hand looked at his players.
"A lot of people are wondering why the team that was almost relegated a season ago can finally become a champion. It is very simple because the game against Seville gave Hertha a championship heart. Now the situation is the same, guys. We want to compete for the league title, but we are facing a team like Real Madrid. Although we once won them a 5 at home, they still have many excuses, such as we can’t win, for example, they didn’t win together … even our club members can’t compete with Real Madrid. In this game, I want a result-win me, not anything else. Only by double-killing Real Madrid can everyone recognize our efforts. Only in this way can we have a real champion heart! The heart of the championship is to get a team that will bully the weak team and surrender when it sees the strong team. The team will never deserve to win the championship! In this game, I hope all of us can find the champion heart from our opponents! "
"It’s almost time to come out." Chang Sheng finished the story and waved his hand to let the players come out.
Valencia players are still chewing and telling them this story when they get up and leave the dressing room for the players’ passage.
Champion heart?
Can you really win the championship after winning Real Madrid?
Can you really win the league title with the championship heart?
To be honest, many players are full of doubts. They are not sure if this is really the case.
Because the coach said that they had never experienced that kind of experience.
Maybe this game is an opportunity to experience?
Chapter 17 Penalty? !
For Valencia, this is really a test to see if they have the heart to win the championship.
From the moment they played in Valencia, the players felt the ubiquitous hostility from the stands.
Real Madrid fans hissed in the stands to disturb Valencia players as much as possible.
