86_86638On the edge of the stadium, the stoppage time sign has been raised. The fans on the sidelines were also making their final hoarse shouts. Sitting on the edge of the court, Yuji Nakano looked at the unfinished game, and his thoughts drifted away.
"Over the years, Japanese football has placed too much emphasis on obedience, players in the locker room have to obey the coach, obey their seniors, carry out orders on the field, be steadfast, and under the long-term cultural influence, Japanese football has also developed a very bad habit - submission. This kind of submission has a good effect on the internal management of the team, but it is not so good for the spirit of the players on the field. ”
Oshima didn't say anything, the Japanese team has had this problem for a long time, and the football world has discussed it a lot, and Oshima is not unaware.
The Japanese have always prided themselves on being polite, and they have always considered themselves to be the most respectful and orderly society with respect for the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Such social relations are reflected in all circles in Japan, even when it comes to football. At the very broadest level, this kind of problem retains the sequence of seniority, which the football world angrily denounces as a feudal remnant, and in a smaller way, it is the rigid dogmatism of the players who carry out orders even if they know they are wrong.
In Japanese sports manga, there have been cases in which the coach deliberately arranged to fail in some sports, and the players clearly saw it, but no one dared to object. In reality, there is no shortage of similar situations. Japanese players abide by the tactical arrangements on the field, and they also know how to respect the coach and respect the old players off the field. It is no secret that the Japanese are always a little weak in terms of willpower compared to the toughness of Koreans.
Football is not something that can be completely mechanical, and technical and numerical statistics can show the average level of a player, but not the level of a player's key moments. When someone needs to step up at a critical moment, everyone still wants to respect the elders, obey the order, and don't violate the coach's wrong arrangement, then the ball can't be played.
Football is known as a working-class sport, no one has ever called football a gentleman's sport, and too much etiquette should not be stored in football.
The Japanese have been aware of this problem for a long time, but there has been no effective way to do it in Japan for a long time. Japan's class divide is deep-rooted in the marrow, and even in the soccer team, the players who joined the team a year earlier and a year later are all markedly different - the problems that already exist at the level of society and culture as a whole can be eliminated by efforts at the level of football alone? In a professional football team, the transfer fee should refer to the player's playing years, and the salary should refer to the length of service.
This question has also been plaguing Yuji Nakano. As the coach of the Japanese university football team, he may not be the best coach in Japan, but he has always been very serious about youth training. He has also noticed the lack of mental strength of Japanese players on the court, but there has been no way, what can be done to make the players have enough energy? He was also puzzled.
He couldn't always encourage his players to do their own thing on the pitch - tactical execution is one of the foundations of Japanese football, and this aspect cannot be dismantled. But if you don't tear these down, how can you make the players have the courage to persevere?
To this day, Yuji Nakano sees something different.
"Oshima-kun, I don't think the fault lies with you in today's matter, your selection has your standards, you have your ideas, and I support you. But I admire this player, he has the guts to defy authority, which is rare. He won't back down off the pitch just because you're the coach, and he won't back down on the pitch because the opponent is strong. I set it up because I wanted to know if that was the case, and I wanted to know if that spirit could be shared with my teammates. I also wanted to know how I could develop the players better. ”
Oshima was silent, he had always only regarded himself as a coach, and regarded this issue as a conflict between players and coaches, but how to extend this issue to the chronic disease of Japanese football, he had not thought about it.
And thinking of this question, he also thought of Gao Shunyao's goal just now.
Ko Soon-yao's goal was beautiful, but that kind of goal wasn't enough to surprise people. But Gao Shunyao didn't give up in the second half, maybe it was what really surprised Yuji Nakano
The outcome of this game, Yuji Nakano had long predicted. It's not very common to come back from 3-1 down, and he didn't expect a miracle. He also knew that he was definitely not alone in this kind of thinking on the court, and the players of the white team did not have any decent forward assault in the second half, even if they had the advantage, as if they had accepted the fate of the rout - the kind of peace and security that his team had expressed after encountering strong teams countless times was already commonplace.
Oshima had seen that kind of love so many times that he was even a little numb. Such a situation is not an isolated phenomenon for a long time.
But this time is different, because there is a Gao Shunyao.
Even if his teammates didn't give enough support, even if the game was 1-3 behind, and he was treated unfairly, Gao Shunyao on the field didn't give up at all, he was always thinking about how to score a goal to save face, in order to score this goal, he could choose to guide his own tactics, no longer abide by the kind of play that has been clearly hopeless, this kind of last-minute persistence and courage to drive teammates to work hard, let Oshima see the shadow of hard work.
This kind of temperament is difficult for Japanese professional players to have, and the problems of society determine the mental outlook of Japan, and it is difficult for them to dig out these things themselves.
"You think he's rude — the Japanese always say that's what the Chinese — but if you think about it another way, maybe it's okay to use the word 'equality' to describe his thinking. The Greeks have long said that truth is more important than teachers, but Japanese football lacks the courage to question authority. This is our drawback, and we have to learn and correct it. We can learn hardness from South Korea, and we can't refuse to learn Chinese football when we are employed--only when we learn, we can make progress. ”
After the goal, the cheers caused by Gao Shunyao also made Nakano think about something: maybe what he needs is not to make the team have a spirit of resistance, but to cultivate a spiritual pillar so that he can influence the rest of the team to lead them to victory?
The power of example is endless, and perhaps this is the right direction.
Now that he has figured this out, he understands why Yuji Nakano wants Gao Shunyao to enter the team to play for his team, and he sees Gao Shunyao as a variable, an uncertain factor, and the first object of his own reality. Putting a variable in a locker room like this might change a bit? Yuji Nakano is not sure, and neither is Oshima.
However, compared to Oshima, Yuji Nakano chose to take a gamble.
Gao Shunyao is a variable, and variable means unstable. If it were another team, it is estimated that such a variable would not be lightly put in its own team: an unstable variable can mean a good thing, but it can also mean a bad thing. A team that wants to win the championship must want to be stable, how can such a team tolerate such a big variable? A player may be a booster for the team, but it can also be a time bomb, and such a player will never dare to stay in the championship team.
However, the University of Business and Economics is different from other teams - for those ordinary college teams to win the college league championship, and for those JFL teams to win the JFL championship and move up to the J2 level. But neither of these makes sense for the University of Distribution Economics. They were also an amateur team and could not be promoted to J2. They should also be more concerned with growth than with grades. From the very beginning, the purpose of this school was to train the players, so they are the only ones who will use such players.
And this player is also very necessary for them.
Compared to Oshima, who is only selecting players, Yuji Nakano is thinking more about the future of his team. It's a good thing that new players have arrived, and the change in the overall temperament of the team is obviously more important than the strength of the new players.
Listening to his analysis, Oshima was silent. These are things that Oshima didn't expect, he always thought that he had already thought far-reaching from the team, but he didn't expect Yuji Nakano to think about the problem directly from the perspective of football training, and now hearing his words, Oshima also knows his shortcomings.
Compared with the best coaches, perhaps the shortcomings of coaches like themselves are not ability, but open-mindedness and deep vision.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement. It's just that I would advise you to be cautious, because if he is not careful, he can also be an uneasy factor, if he does not help the team, but the opposite bad effect......"
"We fired him immediately." Yuji Nakano immediately answered, "There is no doubt about this. "No matter what, Oshima is also his assistant coach, and Yuji Nakano didn't want to make his face too ugly, so as soon as he heard that he was relieved, he immediately gave him a step.
Oshima didn't say anything more, and he was already satisfied with it.
"So, don't be stunned, Oshima, come with me. Let's congratulate our new player - from now on, he is a member of the JFL team for the University of Circulation and Economics team! Yuji Nakano patted his assistant, and seeing his assistant standing still, he also spoke again, "Oshima-kun, you won't refuse to apologize, will you?" ”
Looking at his assistant coach, Yuji Nakano sighed.
"Oshima, you have to recognize your mistakes. We are engaged in youth football, and we can't deny a player in advance because of our own likes and dislikes. Some things may seem small to us, but for others they are big things for a lifetime, and your work is about other people's dreams, and it's not a small thing. Because of his likes and dislikes, he cut off the possibility of a player's future development, and this kind of thing is not what a youth football coach should do. The people who come here to train are children who work hard for their dreams, you can sue them for their lack of strength, but you shouldn't label them in your heart - I am not friendly to you today, you will find it difficult to accept, think about it, are you doing the right thing? ”
"I didn't mean that...... Thank you. Oshima's face flushed, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak, and it was a long time before he bowed deeply.
In front of Yuji Nakano, perhaps it's not just the people on the field who are students
