After chatting for a while, Akori finally talked about football and said to everyone: "Everyone has been very nervous lately, I want to tell you a story, I wonder if you are interested?"

This sentence was asked in vain, and the team members below looked at each other, but for some reason, Zhang Yuan sat up straight and listened carefully to what Akori said?

Akori didn't ask everyone to nod their heads and just started telling the story.

Like the beginning of many stories, Akori's story is a long, long time ago, when a hunter went hunting with his hounds. The hunter shot a rabbit in the hind leg, and the wounded rabbit desperately escaped, followed by the hounds. But after chasing for a while, the rabbit ran farther and farther. The hound knew that he could not catch up, so he had to return to the hunter in a huff. The hunter said angrily, "You are so useless, you can't even chase a wounded rabbit!"

The hound was unconvinced and replied, "I've done my best!"

Besides, the rabbit managed to escape home with a gunshot wound, and the brothers gathered around him and asked him in surprise: "That hound is very fierce, and you are wounded again, how did you get rid of it?"

The rabbit said, "It does its best, I do my best!" it doesn't catch up with me, and at most I will be scolded, and if I don't run as hard as I can, I'll die!"

After telling the story, Akori asked, "What do you think you are, lads, are you hounds or rabbits?"

Everyone was silent, do you need to say that? It looks like we're chasing Genoa, we're hounds!

Instead of waiting for the players below to answer, Akori said to himself: "I think you must think you are a hound, because we are trying to bite Genoa's tail, but I think you are all mistaken! Brescia are trying to catch up with us, guys, don't look ahead, don't forget that if you don't do your best, you may not even be able to play in the play-offs, and don't believe that you are the only team that decides the play-offs, and don't forget that Piacenza is only nine points away from Genoa, and they also have the quality to hold Genoa back. You should remember that it's not how far away you are from Genoa, but you should remember that the next few teams are not far from us, and then you don't do your best, you have to do your best!"

The players below are all in deep thought, everyone used to only see the gap of 8 points, and the two rounds were a big gap, but they rarely paid attention to the gap of 1 point and 4 points in the back, and felt that they were the key to dragging Genoa, and now after listening to Akori's words, they realized that they were not the only key, they seemed to be more nervous, this is the legendary wolf and tiger.

Zhang Yuan stood up, very abruptly, and said in front of everyone's eyes: "The story that Mr. Akori just told is very wonderful, and I also want to tell a story! A story about our China, it is about a general in ancient China in the past, he was very powerful, he won a hundred battles, and no one was invincible, and one of the battles was very classic. Once he led his troops to attack another country, he had to take a pass, the terrain of this city pass was very dangerous, surrounded by mountains, and in front of the pass was a big river, the troops were sufficient and capable, and this general, his men were all farmers who had just issued hoes, and his strength was very limited, this general gathered his army at that time, and lined up on the river bank, all the ships were abandoned, and the retreat route was blocked by the enemy country, and his subordinates were very nervous, and they all felt strange, why should they fight against the water, so they were not self-defeating? The final result was that the general really won the victory, and finally broke through the pass that stood in front of him and destroyed the enemy country. Why will the army under his command win, the general told his subordinates, we have no way to retreat, if we don't win then all of us will be killed, everyone can only survive by killing the enemy with all their might, retreat is the real dead end, forward is the way to live, the soldiers below naturally choose life instead of death!"

Zhang Yuan paused and continued: "I don't tell this story to say that we are now at a critical juncture of life and death, but I want to say that we should treat every subsequent game as a critical moment of life and death, and it is the dream of every Rimini to upgrade in the 100-year history of Rimini, don't you want to be a person who writes history and strive to make every Rimini remember us, isn't it good?" I know you're under a lot of pressure, but what's the use of putting that pressure on yourself, we worked hard all season, no one believed we could get to where we are today, and then it collapsed, I think there are a lot of people who laugh at us, we have to prove to them that we are not weaker than anyone, we have to prove to them that Rimini has the quality to fight in the higher leagues!"

In the end, Zhang Yuan was waving his fists, everyone was dumbfounded, they had never seen Zhang Yuan like this, but at the same time, they were also thinking about Zhang Yuan's words.

Zhang Yuan sat down again after speaking, he hadn't done ideological mobilization work for a long time, he used to be half a captain (deputy captain) and half a mother in the school team, and this kind of ideological mobilization work was not less done before the game.

Akori was the first to applaud, followed by his teammates, and after a pause, Akori asked, "Who else would you like to say?"

"I'll say a few words!" said Captain Riquiuti as he stood up and looked at his teammates around him.

"I've been here for many years, I used to play in the third division, and at that time I wanted to be promoted to Serie B, and I was promoted to Serie B for two years, and I always wondered when I could play in the top league!" Richiuti is Rimini's absolute old courtier, who has been in Rimini for 6 years, from a young player to a veteran, and is a big contributor to Rimini's promotion to the second division.

"Now when the opportunity arises, I am also suffering from gains and losses, I am very nervous, and sometimes my thoughts drift to the first division! But guys, we still need to seize the opportunity and not let the opportunity slip away! Now we have to fight for the play-offs, and we have to fight for the play-off victory to get that precious place! Like Zhang Yuan said, I ****** also go to Serie A to let them see what Rimini is like, so please help me realize this wish, okay?" Richiuti said emotionally that he is now the golden age of players, and if he is not promoted to Serie A, he will probably not have the opportunity to play in Serie A in the future, unless he transfers, and from his feelings for Rimini, the transfer is estimated to be the last choice.

The players below looked at the captain and really had indescribable emotion in their hearts, especially the elderly, who didn't want to go to Serie A to see, but most of them were living in the low-level league, and Serie A was a dream for them. Young and crumbling, a bigger stage has more attention, no matter how well you play, in a corner that others can't pay attention to, it is destined to be a talent, for example, Zhang Yuan has no chance, he can only mix in the school team, and then go to college, work, marry a wife and have children for a lifetime, no matter how outstanding his talent is, it is useless, so Zhang Yuan is lucky.

After Richiuti finished speaking, some teammates also stood up and said their feelings, poured out their thoughts, maybe everyone has not held this kind of meeting for a long time, the last internal meeting was good, the internal meeting, as a result, no one dared to say it after Akori finished speaking, this time in the case of Zhang Yuan leading Rikiuti to keep up, everyone stood up enthusiastically, how can there be players who don't want to upgrade? Everyone wants to!

The unknown side of why so many professional players are so stressful is that many professional players suffer from depression, some are worried about their main position, some are worried about the boos of the fans, and some are troubled by the media to the point of collapse. Professional players are very resilient to pressure, but the pressure they face is not something that ordinary people can understand, and people who are strong can be overwhelmed by pressure, and they are no exception.

The meeting lasted a bit longer, even a few loanees have spoken, and they also want to be promoted, so that they will be more valued by the old club, such as Handanovic is the team's main goalkeeper, and Digan has also increased the number of appearances in the second half of the season, Matri has played seven goals so far with most of the substitute time in the league, and Rimini has also made a great contribution to reaching this position. The old club will not fail to see these results, in fact, there are many scouts in Rimini's game to watch the game, some are Taobao, and some are specifically to see the performance of these loan players, Rimini has been upgraded, and those who have made a great contribution will naturally be carefully evaluated and given opportunities.

The effect of the meeting was obvious, when the meeting was over, everyone was talking and laughing, and their faces showed a relaxed demeanor, and Akori made another decision, and everyone had dinner together in the evening, and he had a treat!

The next day, the training also changed, everyone's sense of tension disappeared a lot, absolute relaxation is also unlucky, too relaxed, the mentality is casual to play football, the implementation of tactics is not strict, no tactical team is difficult to knead into a collective, want to be successful, unless you really have a dozen superstars in the team! Now the state is very good, everyone is not too nervous or too relaxed, and the unforced mistakes in training have also been reduced a lot. Akori is very pleased, anyway, his team has gone on the right path in terms of mentality, there are many factors that determine the game, but the most important thing is the mentality, no matter how well your tactics are formulated, if the players do not have the right mentality, then there will definitely be deviations in execution, and the tactical effect will not achieve the expected goal.
