Chapter 404: Locker Room Mobilization
In the dressing room, Kodic first wished the team a victory over Manchester City to win the title, and then made a bonus promise for the League Cup in front of the whole team, because the League Cup winner is only 100,000 pounds!
Now it is natural to add bonuses to the players, what are the players playing for, it's not just honor and money Now, with both, how can the players not work hard, the players didn't ask, all they thought about was one thought, that is, to win the championship.
The League Cup is not as high as the FA Cup in England, and in the minds of some fans, the FA Cup is a cup with a long history, or even a status comparable to the league champion, which is not the same as the Italian Cup, the Spanish Copa del Rey, and the German Cup.
The League Cup refers to the English Football League Cup, which is a cup competition hosted by the English Football League, and the FA Cup, which is a cup competition hosted by the English Football Association, mainly participated by 92 professional teams of different levels in England, involving 4 levels of league teams, and the FA Cup involves 9 levels of league teams, including professional and non-professional teams.
The League Cup was a competition against the FA in 1960, when the number of matches was relatively small, and some teams lost in the FA Cup, there was no cup to play, so the League League created this cup and has developed to this day.
The attitude of the Premier League and Championship teams towards the League Cup, the League Cup is an important trophy of English football, the final of the League Cup is held at Wembley Stadium, and the winner can get a place in the Europa League and the Europa League, which is not unimportant, but for the Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, the League Cup is not the top priority, and the club attaches much more importance to the Premier League and FA Cup than the League Cup.
The importance of the game can be seen from the prize money, the Premier League ranking bonus + broadcast share Even the bottom team has nearly 100 million income, and the FA Cup also has millions of bonuses, but the League Cup prize money is only 100,000 British list, and the broadcast fee and tickets cannot be compared with the first two events, of course, no team will give up until the final, especially this season's league final is the first and second giant matchup in the league.
Jones's eyes also lit up after hearing this, no one will think that there is a lot of money, besides, playing football is also work, if the team can finally win the League Cup, of course it is normal to get bonuses, the players in the hall are still excited, Segura is even thinking about how much bonus he can get, and he can't be happy.
Kodic clapped his hands to silence everyone, and then said: "Okay, everyone, our boss is still very generous, but this money can only be obtained after defeating Manchester City, and now, Manchester City is in front of you, then, kill them, kill them, and you can get the glory and money that belongs to you." ”
After Kodic finished speaking, all the players began to sit and prepare for the game, and Kodic saw that Jones did not react, walked over and said: "What's the matter, it's the final, are you nervous, Jones!" ”
When Jones heard Cordich's words, he was slightly stunned, he didn't know what to say, what was there to be nervous about! Jones asked rhetorically, "Coach, are you nervous!?" ”
Kodic was silent after hearing this, and he nodded: "It's a little nervous, it's the first time I've been so close to the championship." ”
Jones didn't expect the coach to admit it, and when he heard him say this, he wanted to make fun of it, but when Jones thought about it, this was also the coach's first season in the Premier League, and the first final game would naturally be nervous, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
It was the first time Kodic had come so close to the championship trophy, and for Jones, both of them were silent, and for a moment Kodic spoke: You prepare first, you must win our first championship. ”
Jones nodded, looked at Kodic, he could see that the coach was really a little nervous, and then, Jones asked himself in his heart, is he really not nervous at all!
In fact, Jones is still a little nervous in his heart, although he is nervous, but Jones is nervous about winning the championship, not about the possibility of losing the championship, this is not blind confidence, but because of the self-confidence and belief that you must have as a striker.
'Don't be nervous, coach, we're going to win the title, we're going to be part of the Chelsea Football Club's Hall of Fame!'
"Well, well, it's that confidence, I believe in you!" When Cordic heard Jones's words, he suddenly felt much more energetic.
After the warm-up of the players, the players who returned to the locker room were waiting for the head coach Kodic to make the final tactical arrangements and mobilization, Kodic just looked at the time on his wrist and did not speak, everyone looked at Kodic, a little strange, always before the important game, the coach has to make some remarks to stimulate the players, why is the coach a little silent today.
In fact, Kodic hasn't figured out what to say yet, this Carabao Cup final is his first final, he doesn't have his own players experience yet, and the coach will be nervous, which is not surprising, everyone will be a little overwhelmed when facing their first time.
Kodic shrugged and said: "This game, it's a special game, I'll admit, I'm a little nervous, it's the first time I've led the team to a final as a manager, and to be honest, I don't have any experience yet! "The players are listening to him carefully, there is no mockery,
"Alright! Boys, I also have to say that the League Cup championship is just a piece of cake before all the glory we can get this season, because there will be league championships and Champions League titles waiting for you later, tell me, are you ready to win one title after another! ”
Jones looked up at his head and looked at his head coach with confident eyes: "Coach I'm ready!" ”
"Yes, we're all ready to take Manchester City first and win our first title of the season."
Kodic nodded, the state of the player made him very satisfied, Kodic then clapped his hands: "Our tactics, I have already said it a few times, I won't say more, go ahead!" Win this game. ”
The players began waving their arms and shouting: "Chelsea! Chelsea! ”
The players then held hands in a circle, and Cahill raised his arms and shouted: "Chelsea! ”
All the players shouted in response: "Champion! Champion! ”
At this time, Osi, who was standing at the door of the locker room, signaled to everyone that it was time to play, and Kodic finally turned around and yelled at everyone, for the championship!
Everyone straightened up and looked at their captain, Cahill's gaze circled, and then waved his arm: "Let's go!" ”
Jones felt like he was starting to get enthusiastic, and Jones found that only by playing, only by stepping on the football field, could he relieve the passion he needed to release!
