Chapter 2 (20)

The next morning's training session was temporarily canceled and replaced with a meeting, and the theme of the meeting was naturally the summary of the previous stage of the team and the mobilization of the next stage. This was something that everyone expected and long-awaited as a lot of things changed in the process of moving from the provincial capital to Chengdu and it was clear that the policies that the club had put in place at the start of the group stage were not very well suited to today's situation. In the past few days of training, the players are eagerly awaiting the introduction of the new policy. To put it more bluntly, the players are waiting for the club to come up with more money to pave a path to the First and Second Divisions.

The meeting was held in the coaches' offices, and the already small room suddenly flooded with more than 20 people, and it became cramped and crowded, and even though the room was already crammed with folding chairs, several players who were late could not find seats. They had to stand up for the meeting.

To everyone's surprise, the first thing at the meeting was to announce a punishment decision - Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin failed to return to the team on time last night, so the club fined them 300 yuan each.

The players were a little confused. They didn't expect that Sun Junshan neither summarized the gains and losses of the previous stage nor announced the measures for the next stage, but actually punished Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin first. There wasn't even a cough or panting in the room, and people were wondering what it was like to be punished. No one took this fine seriously, it was only 300 yuan, not even a drizzle; But this is the first time the club has punished the players, although it is not the absolute main force like Chen Mingcan and Zhang Chi, but Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin are not light in the team at the moment. This is actually a statement by the club, since Sun Junshan is determined to make a big deal about such trivial matters as returning to the team on a super holiday, then other moves are likely to incur more serious consequences......

The thoughtful expressions on the faces of the team members made Sun Junshan very satisfied. This punishment decision was made by his insistence, and the purpose was to sound the alarm for the players who were confined to this small resort every day, as for why Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin were punished, it was because these two guys were recruited into the team by him, and punishing them would not cause misunderstanding among others. At the same time, he was a little disappointed - hey, in order to maintain the current situation, in order to maintain the unity of the coaching staff, he had to play these tricks that could not be put on the table......

He scolded himself in his heart, uncovered the punishment decision, and turned over a piece of paper.

He cleared his throat and said word by word: "The club has made some adjustments to the amount and distribution method of the next stage of the competition......"

This is what the team members are most concerned about in today's meeting, and everyone's eyes are focused on Sun Junshan's face.

“…… Sixth, if the team is promoted to A B, each player will receive an additional bonus of 130,000 yuan......"

Sun Junshan's words were as dry as a dry towel in the summer, but the team members were like drinking honey, and all of them had happy smiles on their faces, as if the bonuses that were still on paper had been put into their purses.

The next step is to officially enter the theme of today's meeting, and the veteran coach Zheng Changsheng began to summarize the previous stage of the game. In fact, there is no need to make a summary, no matter what kind of ups and downs the team has gone through, no matter who has made this or that mistake, it is always an indisputable fact that the team has entered the finals, so the old coach in the summary is mainly to single out some players to praise and encourage. Top scorer Zhang Chi, veteran players Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng, who are responsible for the team's offensive organization and run back and forth at any cost, and Guan Mingshan, who has resolved many dangerous situations on the back line, they have shown the role of core players at critical times, which undoubtedly occupies a lot of space in the summary of Coach Zheng, and those players who have also contributed to the team's ability to get to this day have also been affirmed by the coaching staff and the club. He especially spoke highly of Gao Jinsong as a substitute player, and praised Gao Jinsong's header that pushed the team into the finals.

Gao Jinsong didn't expect that Director Zheng would praise him and several big brothers on the team together, and he gave such a high evaluation, and his face was a little red with excitement. He didn't dare to look at the eyes of others looking at him, and he tried his best to prevent the expression mixed with excitement, pride, and pride from appearing on his face. Fortunately, the old coach quickly turned the topic to the next stage of the game, which was considered to help him out.

“…… We will make some personnel adjustments for different opponents before each game, and the tactics used will also be adjusted according to the specific opponent's situation, so I hope that every player, whether on or off the field, must show 12 points of spirit - a point of sweat in order to have a harvest. We are not strong enough to assert that we can defeat all opponents, and we certainly will not have an easy road ahead, so I hope that everyone can unite more tightly, gather all our strength together, play every game well, and work hard to achieve our final goal step by step! ”

The old coach's sonorous words stirred up the hearts of the players, and they all applauded excitedly.

Sun Junshan and Dai Zhenguo, as well as the goalkeeper coach, were also applauding, but they were obviously not as excited as the players, and they even looked at Zheng Changsheng, who had already picked up the teacup to drink water, with a puzzled expression - this is the end? This is different from what they discussed last night, why did Zheng Changsheng change the decision made by the coaching staff without saying hello to them?

Several people glanced at each other and chose to remain silent. This is not the time to question, and this is not the place to argue. Although it is no secret that there are contradictions within the coaching staff in terms of tactical arrangements and personnel deployment, in public, everyone still has to maintain the authority of the head coach.

Since Sun Junshan and Dai Zhenguo, who were confused, did not want to make any more speeches or additions at this internal meeting, Zheng Changsheng announced the dismissal of the meeting. After a busy mess in the room, only three coaches and Sun Junshan, the club's general manager who also served as the team leader, were left.

"Director Zheng, why did you suddenly change your mind again? That's not what we discussed yesterday! Outside the window, there were still players walking by from time to time, and Dai Zhenguo was already very dissatisfied and asked, "Didn't you say okay, Gao Jinsong's role in the team will be brought forward at the meeting, and then it is logical to start him as the main force?" How can you just mention his header and not his role in the first few games? ”

The goalkeeper coach quickly stood up and closed the door.

"Director Zheng, do you have any new ideas about this matter again?" Sun Junshan's words were much more tactful than Dai Zhenguo's, "Or, you put forward your opinions, and let's discuss them together?" "As soon as yesterday's match with Qinyuan ended, he closed the door with the three coaches and discussed it carefully all night, and finally came up with a plan not only to deal with Qinyuan but also to deal with future games." The arrangement of letting Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin partner in the middle of the midfield was proposed by you, didn't you say that Xiao Gao's overall view, passing and receiving skills, and tactical literacy are all competent as a midfielder? Why did you change your mind in the blink of an eye? He can't understand what the player's tactical literacy and overall vision mean now, but Gao Jinsong's performance is undoubtedly better than the previous midfielder, not to mention that this is a fact that Zheng Changsheng himself admits - so why can't Gao Jinsong be allowed to start the game?

Mr. Zheng did not answer their questions. He took the cigarette from the goalkeeper coach, lit the fire himself, frowned on his elbows and looked up at the ceiling, spitting smoke one after another.

His expression was, in fact, a statement of the matter. On the question of how to use Gao Jinsong, the old coach changed his mind again.

Dai Zhenguo could only turn his head helplessly, trying to seek help from Sun Junshan. But Sun Junshan was also at a loss, except for shaking his head and smiling bitterly at Dai Zhenguo, he really had no way to make the stubborn old coach change his mind. He can't announce the dismissal of Zheng Changsheng as head coach on the spot, it will be a real joke if it is spread out.

"Coach Zheng, letting Gao Jinsong be the back has obvious benefits for the team's defense." Dai Zhenguo had no choice but to brace himself and discuss with Zheng Changsheng once again the many benefits that this lineup adjustment can bring to the team. "His defensive ability is no worse than Wei Honglin, and he is more ferocious than Wei Honglin, so if the two of them partner in the middle, they can more effectively erect another barrier in front of the backline, so as to reduce the pressure on the defenders; And his horizontal passing ability is much stronger than Wei Honglin, which makes the connection between the back line and the two wings closer; In particular, his long passes, which are both accurate and threatening, can fully play the height advantage of Seryosha and the speed advantage of Zhang Chi on the forward line; His long-range shooting ability will at least not be weaker than the current midfielder, and he can also be a means of attacking us when the game cannot be opened......"

Dai Zhenguo couldn't go on. He sighed inwardly and no longer relied on these pale persuasions. Maybe Coach Zheng has his considerations and ideas, and he does it for the good of the team. The problem is that his considerations and ideas may have unintended consequences for the team and may hurt the interests of the team and the club.

The old coach still stared at the ceiling. He knew what Dai Zhenguo said, and he still wrote down the key points in his notebook, such as Gao Jinsong's defensive fierce and concise movements, which were the first facts he put forward and were recognized by everyone. But he didn't sleep well all night last night, and he always felt that something was not quite right. He even got up in the middle of the night and watched the game video alone for a long time, until he faintly heard the roosters crowing in the farmhouse near the resort, and he finally made up his mind - a more suitable position for Gao Jinsong, that is, to be a substitute who is ready to play at any time.

"Because he doesn't have speed." That's why Zheng Changsheng is here. He ignored Dai Zhenguo, who was about to jump up and convince him, and continued, "What his lack of speed leads to is that he can't break through ...... effectively."

It's really something that people didn't realize last night. They remembered Gao Jinsong's long-range shots, his passing and organization, and his defense, but no one noticed his breakthrough ability. They couldn't remember whether Gao Jinsong had a decent breakthrough in so many games. Everyone frowned and thought carefully about the bits and pieces of the past game, hoping to find an example to refute Zheng Changsheng. But they were all disappointed. In their memory, Gao Jinsong never seemed to show his ability to break through with the ball, and he was rarely seen dribbling in ordinary training.

"Actually, we don't need his breakthrough ability...... Dai Zhenguo said. But his tone was not firm at all, and this reason could not be convincing even to himself. Breaking through the middle is one of the most direct and threatening ways to attack, if the two central players can't break through with the ball to create chances, then the opponent's defense will be more targeted and more relaxed, and the two veteran players on the wing, Chen Mingcan and Ma Cheng, will certainly not be able to repeatedly go back and forth in a game - even if the opponent gives them the opportunity, their fitness condition will not allow them to do so.

'So we can't replace the centre-back right now.' Zheng Changsheng said. He is also distressed by Gao Jinsong's emerging flaw. Even if Gao Jinsong is only one mile short of speed and breakthrough, he will not hesitate to use him as the main force. However, this is all that can be done now, allowing him to continue to sit on the bench as a surprise player of the team. If he still has the opportunity to coach this team next year, he will definitely give him special guidance to make this young player more versatile and give him more opportunities to show his head and feet. Of course, he can now put Gao Jinsong on the court as the main player, just like Dai Zhenguo said, it is nothing if he will not break through. But he was reluctant to do so. In the bottom of his heart, there is always such a feeling: since the team can get to this point by relying on the original lineup and tactics, why change it? Who can guarantee that this change will lead to victory? Since no one can guarantee that this change will definitely lead to the promotion of the team to League B, let's just take one step at a time......

Gao Jinsong still can't play the main force, and the old coach will not give an inch at this point. But he also made some accommodations, such as in the recent group confrontation training, he will give Gao Jinsong the opportunity to appear in the main lineup, so that he and Wei Honglin can continue to run in - maybe there will be a day when it will come in handy, at least in a few days later, it will be able to show some effect, so that Changsha Qinyuan, a potential strong opponent, can not bargain, by the way, test the feasibility of the double back tactics.
