Section 305 Pressure and Motivation
When Gao Shunyao walked into the house at the end of the day's training, Chen Sirou was waiting for his return at home. From the exhaustion on Gao Shunyao's face, she could see that it had been another hard day.
"Today's training is over?" Looking at Gao Shunyao sitting on the sofa, Chen Sirou couldn't help but open her mouth, "Are you tired from training?" ”
Chen Sirou's question was said casually, and she herself knew that it didn't make much sense. There is no such thing as not being tired in Magat's training, it's a basic common sense. It's just that this time, Gao Shunyao's answer was different from before, he sighed softly before he spoke, "I'm not very tired from training, I'm quite relaxed, I'm just worried." ”
Gao Shunyao's words made Chen Sirou shrug her shoulders - it was not the first time she had heard Gao Shunyao mention such words in the past few days, and she also knew what Gao Shunyao meant.
It's been a week since the Wolfsburg and Bayern match, and the defeat to Wolfsburg didn't bring Bayern any frustration, they didn't even suffer the slightest bit of influence, and they were fully focused on winning the next game. Such a determined opponent not only admired the Wolfsburg players, but also a little annoying, Bayern's will was not affected, but the Wolfsburg players' will wavered.
Lose, concede the top spot, and the media are overwhelmingly discussed, these things can't affect Bayern's will to chase victory, and this season's league, it is estimated that they will lose very few points. And in the face of such a strong opponent, it is difficult for Wolfsburg players not to feel depressed.
As soon as this depressed thought arose, it was forcibly pressed down by the players. The players are well aware that the league is in the middle of a long run. In addition to the threat from direct opponents, the pressure from competitors is also enormous. There are times when teams are not beaten by a steady stream of opponents, but are dragged down by the tremendous pressure exerted by them. Manuel Pellegrini's Real Madrid is a case in point. They spent a season with Barcelona and ended up unable to hold on, which is not uncommon in football.
Many of Wolfsburg's players have never won a league title in their careers, or even competed against another team. This is the first time that many people in the team have experienced this kind of pressure. The players knew in their hearts that since they were competing, they had to face this great competitive pressure. Bayern can hold on without being discouraged, and Wolfsburg will have to keep their fighting spirits high.
It's just that everything is easier said than done, especially when it comes to maintaining morale. Although the players are keen to keep their fighting spirit alive. But the coach of the team did not give them much help at this time.
Magath is not a communicative coach and rarely likes to chat with the players after games and encourage them. The best way for him to maintain his form is to work hard, and he doesn't care about anything else – an attitude that can be the biggest enemy to the morale of the Wolfsburg players.
When the players play football, they still care a lot about the praise of the coach. Sometimes the coach gives the players words of encouragement, so that the players can maintain their sense of pride, which is essential in a long race. In the season of Inter Milan's treble, their three titles were delayed until the end to determine the title, and the pressure was very high. Mourinho's constant motivation at the time was arguably one of the most important reasons for their eventual victory.
However, Magath has never done well in this regard, and many times his departure will cause cheers from the team, not because of his poor coaching results, but largely because he only knows training and does not recognize people. Regardless of the mood of the players. Wolfsburg was clearly ahead of Bayern, but they couldn't get good words from him, and the players were just as dissatisfied.
And. Wolfsburg now has the upper hand, and Magath is naturally unwilling to let up his training. In the past few days, Wolfsburg's training has increased further. The team trains every day, and the fatigue of the players has increased greatly.
There is such a coach. The players of Wolfsburg are also considered to be unlucky, no one cares about the atmosphere in the team, and the players are more tired, obviously Wolfsburg is the winner, but the atmosphere in the team seems to be not as good as Bayern.
"Competing for the championship this season, maybe you have to play very tired, we have few old players in the team, there is enough experience, and there are not many people who have seen the world, the coach still knows how to practice, everyone is complaining about fatigue all day long, and I am really fed up."
Sitting on the sofa, Gao Shunyao was gossiping with Chen Sirou with an irritable face. Gao Shunyao is also one of these people, and he is also very tired in the team. He is a player brought up by Magath, and he doesn't want to speak ill of Magath in the team, but when he returns home, he can't help but complain to Chen Sirou.
Like his teammates, Gao Shunyao is also under a lot of pressure these days. He played for five years, but this was the first time he qualified to compete for the league title. It's hard to stay motivated for a long time in a long-distance season. Moreover, he also wants to hone his skills recently, the team has performance requirements, and he has the idea of transformation, all of which put Gao Shunyao under a lot of pressure. Either one of them failed, it was difficult for him to accept, so during this time, he was also quite stressed.
He didn't dare to mention these things to his teammates. He was afraid that his teammates would have the same pressure, which would increase the pressure on everyone. He could only go home and tell Chen Sirou about his boredom, in fact, it was not so that Chen Sirou could really understand, but just to relieve his pressure.
Sitting on the sofa, Gao Shunyao complained that his training was not going well. He said casually, and Chen Sirou always listened very seriously. As a listener, she is very qualified. Her seriousness also makes Gao Shunyao happy many times, and he is also willing to talk to her more about the team.
"Bayern are chasing very closely, and they know how to play in the Champions League, so they are probably much more polished than us. I don't know how long the advantage will last, I'm afraid that if I lose one game, the morale will be all over, and some teams are like that, if you lose one game, then the season will be ruined......"
Gao Shunyao did not hide his thoughts in front of Chen Sirou, and said all his worries and worries, but his complaints were full of complaints, but he didn't seem to be able to infect Chen Sirou. After Chen Sirou heard this, she just responded to his words with a smile, "No, I believe that even if you really lose a game, the team's morale will not collapse." ”
Chen Sirou said with a lot of confidence, so that Gao Shunyao also raised his head to look at her. He didn't know where her confidence came from, and it was strange to him.
"I don't think we're that strong myself, where do you see that we have that ability?"
Gao Shunyao asked casually, he didn't think Chen Sirou could really say anything. However, to his surprise, Chen Sirou really spoke.
"I've heard people say that in a good team, when the players talk together, it's all about football skills, game training, winning and losing. Bad teams, when the players are together, they talk about women, salaries, cars, mansions, resorts, all these things. You say your team is tired, but they seem to be talking about training, right? In that case, what is there to worry about? ”
Chen Sirou's words were soft, but powerful. What she said seemed to be a very simple little thing, but it still made Gao Shunyao think of something immediately.
It's true that the good players and the bad players talk about things that are sometimes very different. Some players are concerned about their garage women and salaries, and it is difficult for any team that focuses on these things to improve - whether it is the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the Premier League, Lyon after seven consecutive championships lamenting that their players no longer care about results, Ferguson drove too well for the players and reprimanded the young people of Manchester United, compared to the pressure, that kind of indifference is the real terrible thing.
Under pressure, the Wolfsburg players had no choice to escape. Although the training was heavy, they did not evade training, and although the game was tiring, they did not admit defeat in advance. They complained a lot, but the most they talked about was the training. At most, they complain that the training method is wrong, but no one diverts their attention. Although the situation at Wolfsburg is not very good, at least, the players are still very serious about preparing for the game, and their focus is still on the game.
It's true that the pressure on the players is high, but the motivation is also great. In addition to the pressure of the game, the players have another force urging them forward at this time - they have a great sense of ** and motivation for the honor ahead, and the pressure is high because they are close to the championship, and it is precisely because they are close to the championship that the team has a stronger motivation.
Chen Sirou simply said a truth: maybe the pressure on the players in Wolfsburg is really great now, but they are in good shape. The Wolfsburg players are under a lot of pressure, but they also have a lot of motivation to play at this time, and with that motivation, they will keep going.
"You're right, indeed, our team won't collapse so easily."
Thinking of this, Gao Shunyao also came to his senses, and he jumped up on the sofa, with some joy on his face. Not to mention that he hasn't lost yet, even if he does, he doesn't worry about anything anymore. Your team is tough enough, so what's there to be afraid of?
"As long as we're not afraid to lose, we're definitely going to be able to play better, and if we play, we don't necessarily have to lose. Bayern didn't do anything to us, what are we afraid of? Gao Shunyao nodded to Chen Sirou, he was really grateful for his girlfriend's keen thinking, "Look at it, we will play better, I don't believe you watch, there will be a game in midweek, and I will definitely play well in that game."
