Ward suddenly remembered that the group of people under his command were just a group of young people in their 20s, some or even under 20, how could these people have ever seen such a battle, Ole Gunnar Gunnar Hell Substitute, Gerrard was dying back, Ronaldo Moscow Rainy Night, these scenes already felt that their blood was swollen just by looking at them, let alone experiencing these first-hand. He suddenly wanted to hug them, but the rules of the court kept him from moving.

Suddenly a dense drum beat reached his ears at the top of the stands, and Ward couldn't help but tremble.

The sound of "It's the drumbeat of the fans" is masked by the roar of tens of thousands of Cardiff City, and you have to listen intently to feel a little bit, and the drums are getting louder and louder, a cold and lonely sound, full of melancholy and despair.

"Ward, you need to come up with an idea!" Finnan couldn't help but step forward and remind. But Ward just closed his eyes and let the sound pour into his head with the evening breeze, he shivered and trembled, the drums around the empty and lonely Hainan Airlines day after day, night after night, endlessly, constant, while his team was now down the pitch, and Portsmouth, who loved to laugh, who would stick to training even if they were embarrassed by the solid ball, and who loved to dream of the Premier League, were now all in the past.

………………

While Hydward's eyes widened in thought, Finnan had already made a move, time never waited, he walked to the sideline of the fourth official, his hands clenched into a fist, probably still chewing a piece of gum in his mouth, "Hey, hat-wearing" Finnan shouted, "Give me a ball." The caddie was reluctant to give it, but Finnan looked like he was going to eat people, and he couldn't throw the ball that he was holding tightly.

Finnan, who had the ball, watched the game and when Cardiff City attacked again, he saw the moment and slipped his hand and threw the ball into the pitch.

There were two balls in the pitch, and the nearest fourth official, apparently close, spotted it, and the referee saw it. The game was then suspended, "What's the situation?" Referee Atkinson stopped the game and came over and asked, "I don't have a choice." Finnan spread his hands and told him, "If I don't do something, my team will probably concede goals." ”

The two exchanged arguments for a while, obviously the referee did not want to continue to entangle, "I appreciate your honesty, but you have to promise me that you will never commit a crime." ”

"You want my assurance?" After the game stopped for a while, several players walked up to Hydeward's side, and Finnan suddenly laughed: "Alas, if there is any problem, I will apologize, even if it is a fine and a ban, I will gladly accept it." ”

Expecting Mr. Atkinson to say something more, he simply pulled a red card out of his pocket and drove Finnan to the stands, telling the fourth official "in the post-match record". "It's too heavy, sir!" Finnan tried to delay for a while, but the referee didn't give him a chance and trotted all the way back to the pitch.

………………

At the other end of the pitch, Hydward didn't hesitate, he still didn't have any ideas, but he still took two deep breaths to meet it, and when he saw the red card that Finnan took the initiative to receive, he realized that it was better to do something than to do nothing and wait for death.

He greeted the player and handed him water, saying, "Let him pass," Ward's opening remarks: "Frere's sliding tackle was beautiful, and Vardy's previous shot was beautiful. "Hydward tries to make his voice as unchanged as he did at the beginning, during different periods of the game, the coaches have a rule that they must not let their behavior and emotions be judged by two people, because the strength of the opponent is strong and weak, the trend of the game is also changing rapidly, either dominant or inferior or there is not much time left, many people will behave or communicate significantly in different situations, many people have played against Ward in the past, they will inadvertently show anxiety, fear, worry, Subtly affected the players. Ward told himself that even if you are acting, you must act lightly and happily! He doesn't want to transfer pressure to his players.

At the same time, he quickly and accurately considered the words in his mind, replacing the title "I-oriented" with "team-oriented" and then "we" instead of "I", and then replacing derogatory words with strong emotional words, such as "believe" instead of "hope", "will" instead of "maybe......

Ward thought he was so funny, and he still had the heart to think about it!

He cleared his throat and said, "Straighten your clothes, guys. ”

'Think about the opening kick-off, Cardiff City just four minutes to break our goal, and at the beginning of the journey, I was shivering as I was forced into a corner by the robbers with our hands tied and face masks on our heads.

The players listened carefully, but Ward saw Finnan's entanglement with the referee, so he could only skip some sentences to speed up his speech, "We have made a lot of progress now, it took them seven minutes to score the second goal, 20 minutes to the third, and the next step is to make sure that we don't concede a goal in the first half, I want to say thank you and sorry, you have worked hard enough and determined enough to make up for the mistakes I made." 'Ward has generously admitted his mistakes at a tactical level, which is not a big deal, and being brave enough to admit when he makes mistakes or mistakes will increase his prestige and influence as a leader, and that's what he demands from his players, and of course he has to be able to do it.

"Another word, it doesn't matter if the coach on the sidelines is no longer trustworthy, as long as you have the ball at your feet, you should have the confidence to beat any opponent in this game!"

The referee whistled at the far end and awarded a throw-in to Cardiff City, while the six or seven players who had gathered around Ward to drink water were hurried back into place. Ward couldn't help but want to say something to his lips, "We must not lose this game", but it became "Let's win this game with confidence and determination." The former Ward felt that saying this would convey the wrong message, and it was likely to make the players think of bad results and more likely to deepen their fear of failure, while the second only emphasized the importance of the process rather than the "outcome" as in the first sentence. ”

Coach K at Duke University famously said: The past cannot be changed, the future only depends on what you do now, and the American professional basketball legend's lifelong coaching philosophy is as simple as "focusing on the next offensive and defensive round". Hydward wants to help players develop a "live in the moment" mentality, shift their focus and communication to what they can control, and instead of thinking about a 4-3 scoreline, focus on what can make a difference, such as not conceding a goal in the first half.

The scales of victory always come back little by little, and Hydward turned around and escorted Finnan slowly to the stands first, then pulled out a note from his pocket and re-sketched the line and positioning.

As far as his eyes could see, Neil. Warnock nudged his glasses and slung his tracksuit over his arm, while the young Freyer took the weight of the midfield defence under pressure and was a never-flinching personality who had agreed with N'Golo Kante just half a minute earlier that one would entangle the enemy's main force and the other would reactivate Portsmouth's collapsing midfield.

They were acutely aware that there were no heralds, no flags, no horns, and perhaps only the rattling of the bowstrings of Vardy and Louis as they released their arrows.
