101. Authority is growing
Not only did Wen Sheng not criticize the team in front of reporters, but in the locker room, the nervous players did not wait for Wen Sheng's roar.
But privately, Wen Sheng approached Delhi.
"Sean, you're not going to kick me like this at Wembley next week, are you?!"
"Surely it won't be!" Derry was taken aback in the face of Wen Sheng's questioning, Wen Sheng was clear about what he wanted to do in this game, but he was slack in this game, as the captain and as a midfielder, his running throughout the game dropped significantly, which was not right.
"Everyone is also afraid of getting injured and affecting the finals later!" Delhi argued that he himself thought so.
"I understand! But you'd better be careful not to relax too much! It's time to spell it! Wen Sheng stared at Delhi, and after saying this, he Shi Shiran left.
He does understand that it's normal for these players to be afraid of injury, and partly because he knows that the squad is thin, and the players on the pitch know how much the attrition will affect Crystal Palace's preparations, and it would be a good deal to let go of the water in this less important second leg.
After a simple two-sentence conversation with Wen Sheng, the story is over.
Delhi was in a cold sweat on his forehead, although he couldn't be more familiar with Wen Sheng, and his personal relationship was getting better and better, but work was work after all, and Wen Sheng's authority as the head coach was becoming more and more solid.
Wen Sheng didn't say anything on his lips, but he was not satisfied with the mental state of the players in the second leg, and Delhi could still read it.
In addition, he also felt guilty in his own heart, and the pressure and shame naturally made him uneasy.
Of course, from the matter of dialogue, he also knew what Wen Sheng meant potentially, Wen Sheng wanted to ring the alarm bell for the team through him, and Derry had to pass on Wen Sheng's words in place.
Thinking through this meaning, Delhi felt a little funny, shook his head and muttered, "People are small and big!" Anyway, your bullshit theory is a lot, ghost elf! ”
"It seems that as a head coach, I am still 108,000 miles away from Daniel!"
……
After training the next day, everyone returned to the dressing room, and Delhi "secretly" revealed to everyone the conversation between Wensheng and him yesterday, which meant that the boss was very unhappy and worried that the team would also be unhappy in the FA Cup final.
"It's not time to relax, I'm the captain and I didn't play well yesterday! I apologize to everyone! I'm responsible for losing! Delhi took the initiative to stand up and review, how to not let others be embarrassed, and everyone also self-examined.
Wen Sheng's happiness and displeasure were on his face, and he did defend the team at the post-match press conference yesterday, and did not criticize everyone in the locker room afterwards.
But on the training ground today, Wen Sheng's face was very unsightly, and any player who made a sloppy mistake would be criticized by him.
Man is a strange creature.
A few months ago, if the fledgling Wen Sheng yelled at the old players in the team, the old players would definitely not be convinced: "How old the fuck are you?!" ”
But now, Wen Sheng has changed, and the targets of scolding are getting wider and wider, but these old players will no longer want to say who the fuck you are, but review themselves and do a little better to meet Wen Sheng's requirements.
Everything is done naturally, without any awareness of being swept away.
It is not ruled out that there will be big names in the future who will win against Wensheng, but now the player in Crystal Palace dares to claim that he is a big name?!
Wensheng's prestige in this team has taken root in the hearts of the players, which is a good thing.
After the day's training, Wen Sheng made a phone call to Parrish, and he asked Parrish to suspend contact with the player's agent and suspend contract extension negotiations first.
The poor form of the last game made Wen Sheng think of another thing, off-field factors affect the performance of the players.
Since Parish thought about the imminent issue of a contract extension a few days ago, Crystal Palace's new management team has been ignited by Parish's butt and is in a hurry, and has been out and wide to contact the player's agent or parents to discuss a contract extension.
Wen Sheng knows that the head coach of England is very different from other leagues, for example, the transfer rights and contract renewal rights of the team Many managers are in their own hands, the head coach has a function similar to the general manager, the head coach is the authority, he can decide the future and fate of a player in the team, but now the situation is different, and the atmosphere is slowly changing.
And Wen Sheng is still temporary, originally these things were not his job, but now the new team has taken over the transfer and contract renewal and other powers that should belong to the head coach.
Of course, Wen Sheng doesn't care very much, he hopes that he has enough power in the transfer, as for the power to renew the player, Wen Sheng feels that it is a double-edged sword, the renewal of the leading player will stand on the opposite side of the player, thankless, he might as well be a middleman, just be a spectator.
Parrish secretly wondered what Wen Sheng meant, and he wondered if Wen Sheng wanted to take back the power that should have belonged to the head coach.
"Steve, I don't mean anything else. You also know that there has been a lot of talk about the transfer extensions of the players in recent days, and I think it will disturb their minds and it would be inappropriate to distract them from things off the pitch at such a critical time. Wen Sheng didn't wait for Parrish to reply to him, and took the initiative to explain.
'There's nothing more important now than promotion and the FA Cup!'
Parrish was speechless.
"Well, let's wait until the end of May!" Parrish could only say yes with a bitter face on the other end of the phone.
In a short period of time, he has already thought a lot in his head, the renewal of the contract is more important than the promotion, the championship is the most important, or the FA Cup is the most important, the transfer news of these players in Crystal Palace is now flying all over the sky, whether it is true or not, but how many are really willing to leave here and leave Wensheng?!
Who is the biggest star of Crystal Palace?! Parrish thinks it's Wensheng, just leave Wensheng!
"Daniel, the players aside, yours can always talk! You tell me what the hell you think?! Parrish set his sights on Wensheng.
Wen Sheng was vigilant.
I'll go, what do you want to do?!
Friendship with me?! No way!
"My renewal club can talk to Pinny! I'll tell him what I think! Steve, I'm friends with you too, and I'll be honest, I want to stay! I think I can do more for my hometown team! Wen Sheng is righteous.
Parrish smiled, and said that I haven't started fooling you yet, you should have gagged me first.
"It's great that you have that idea! You also know that I am very eager for you to stay, with or without certificates, you are the most suitable person to lead the team! Even Mourinho and Pep Guardiola can't compare to you! ”
You're too outrageous! Wen Sheng blushed unconsciously, how many steps are he away from Mu Shuai and Gua Shuai.
The application with Parrish was a pleasant one, and although it put the team in a passive position, it wasn't a big deal when you think about it.
Several old guys in the team have clauses in their contracts to upgrade and automatically adjust their salaries, which is not worth worrying too much about, Kante and Vardy are not suitable for their salaries, but after all, they have signed for three years, and it may not be easy to leave, the club does not let go, and it is not difficult for other teams to buy them, and it is difficult to say that it is not difficult.
What Parrish is really worried about is a few young players in the team, and the other teams are really angry.
In addition to submitting an application to Parrish, in the team's pre-training speech the next day, Wensheng deliberately talked about transfer rumors from the outside world.
"You all know that there are a lot of rumors about your future right now! Matt, you old guys won't talk about it, today I'm mainly talking about a few of their children. I know you're excited, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and so on seem to be watching you, maybe your agent has been talking to you about who is willing to take you out of here and offer you better conditions, to be precise, a better salary! ”
"But, lads, you're not young! The youngest is also seventeen years old, you should have your own judgment, what is good for you, you need to calm down and think carefully! ”
"It's okay for any of you to leave, but I want to tell you that all the outside world is going to be left behind during this time! How to train hard to improve yourself and successfully complete this season is the only thing you should think about! Winning the FA Cup and winning the promotion places can give you the capital to brag, otherwise why would you be appreciated by the giants! ”
"It's good to have dreams, but you can only realize your dreams if you are down-to-earth and take them step by step! I can't resist the temptation to fly too high, I'm afraid you will fall too hard! ”
