Chapter 57: Pre-Game Mobilization
The players are thoughtful, they don't really understand what the coach means, and also, in their eyes it's just an ordinary league, of course they don't understand what the coach is worried about, you know, they're at the top of the table now.
"If no one says it, then I'll say it."
'It's not an easy game, this time it's different from our previous three opponents, this time I'm going to have half of the bench because it's the Champions League game coming soon, and this time it's Leicester City, and they're also a strong opponent now, especially if they play a strong team with the most motivation, so I get rid of the idea of underestimating the enemy.'
"The coach is right, Leicester City are absolutely not willing to lose to us in this game at their home stadium, so put away your thoughts of underestimating the enemy, what we want in this game is to win, continue to maintain the top position, if you lose because of your underestimation, I guarantee that you will die ugly." Ossie said.
"Whoever wants to fall at the feet of their opponent, tell me which of you is not ready to ask for this victory!" Then Kodditch said.
"No one wants to fail! We're all going to win, Coach! ”
After Liu can see this scene, he thinks that Kodic is getting closer and closer to the image of the ideal coach in his heart, Kodic has been improving, he originally thought that Kodic's tactical level is first-class, but he does not have the momentum of a top coach, the previous Kodic was too gentlemanly, and his psychological grasp of the players is not very good, he is a coach who can only improve the players in terms of technique and tactics.
Now in terms of mental strength, he can continue to motivate the players, such as the attitude towards the game, in such a team, such a style of coach is the ideal team in Liu Neng's heart.
After motivating the players, Kodic laid out the tactics for the game, and everyone in the team listened attentively, because they knew that if they lost this game, they would be treated differently by the coach, and now no one underestimated this game anymore.
At the end of the tactical lesson, Kodic said: "You remember, you have to play every game as if it were a final, if you are not careful, all that awaits you is defeat, don't say that what I said is unrealistic, we have developed on multiple fronts this season, and any of you have the opportunity to play, but if any of you don't want to win glory and don't have a constant hunger for the title, then I will put him in the reserves." ”
'Tomorrow at the King Power Stadium I need you to win the game, for me, for Chelsea and for yourselves!'
"Crowds, welcome to the Yellow Springs, this is a match in the fourth round of the 17/18 Premier League, the two sides are Leicester City and Chelsea, both teams have performed well in recent years, Chelsea won the Premier League last season, and Leicester City won the league title in 16 season, but Leicester City suffered a crisis last season, resulting in Leicester City's miracle not being there, while Chelsea are doing well, winning three in a row this season and remaining unbeaten."
In the dressing room of the two sides, the atmosphere is completely different, after yesterday's encouragement, the Chelsea players have basically corrected the attitude of the game, no one in the team has the intention of underestimating the enemy, but also for this matter The atmosphere in the locker room seems to be a little quiet, everyone has a very dignified expression on their faces, the usual laughter and laughter are gone, Liu Neng is also very serious to sit and recuperate, although he does not start this game, but it is possible to come on as a substitute.
The erratic behaviour of the players also caught Kodic's attention, and he found that the entire dressing room was shrouded in an overly serious atmosphere, even Liu Neng, an active player on the team, who quietly gave Ossilai a color and walked out of the dressing room.
Osi, who came out closely, understood what Kodic meant, "Did you say that yesterday's tactics class had the opposite effect?"
Hearing Osi's words, Kodic also nodded and said: "The effect of what I said yesterday is obvious, will it bring too much pressure to the players, now it seems that the effect is very good, but I am afraid that the players will be too nervous and collapse in the end."
"Kodic, we still don't have to worry too much about this now, it's nothing to win this game now, the thing you said may happen, but it won't be now, we'll decompress them after a few games, it's not a big problem."
"That's what you said, forget it, I don't want to do this now, let's win this game first." Osilai didn't say anything more, just nodded, and the two went back to the locker room together.
Looking at the players with serious expressions, Kodic smiled, "What? Did I say something about it yesterday that made you feel stressed? Look at the way you look now, you can't even resist this little pressure! If so, how will you face stronger opponents in the future! ”
"Okay, I'll be watching you guys on the sidelines, I don't want my team to be a bunch of players who can't handle the pressure." With that, he left the locker room.
"Okay, you all relax, and the game will start in no time."
Ossie said: "You have not seen such a side of Kodic, he is actually a very competitive person, you don't know, he has a lot of pressure to coach you, he wants to win the championship in his heart, he sees hope in you, he will say something serious to you, in fact, he is the most stressed." Listening to Osi's words, the eyes of the team members gradually brightened.
In the dressing room of Leicester City, Shakespeare looked at his players, they were all high-spirited, Shakespeare also had confidence in this game after seeing it, his goal in this game is to win, Chelsea is not an invincible opponent, they have started the season well, if they win the defending champions, and the current league leader, this game will be very morale-boosting.
Imagine Shakespeare after getting good results this season, and then was reminded by the assistant coach that Shakespeare returned to reality to look at the time, it was almost time to enter the field, he looked at his players and said: "I have already explained what I should say in advance, the rest is up to you, we have to fight until the last minute, win Chelsea, win every game, bring victory to our fans, just get ready to enter." ”
Captain Morgan stood up and clapped his hands and shouted, "Let's go, guys, let's work together and get in!" ”
"Oh!" A crowd raised their arms and shouted.
The timing of the play was clearly not good, as they collided in front of the hallway, and the tight-faced Chelsea players saw the fighting spirit in the eyes of the Leicester players, and it was clear that both sides wanted to win, but there was only one winner, and now they were waiting to compete on the pitch.
On the sidelines, the two coaches also stood together, both coaches have little experience in the Premier League, no one wants to lose their demeanor under the gaze of the flash and the camera, the two politely shook hands, and then the two walked to their own positions and sat down.
