Chapter 121: What's the hurry?
Zhang Xiaorui's trip is not just about the past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
From a marginal figure to the core of a team, it took him two full years, and although it was only a declining giant, he still felt that the trip was worth it.
The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and now he does not expect higher and faster development, he just wants to stabilize the level and play the right role at the right time.
Just like it did six years ago.
He originally thought that after his former partners went abroad one after another, the level of the national football team should improve by leaps and bounds, and it would not fall below the threshold of the qualifiers again. However, the reality fell on his head like a basin of cold water, which made him wake up in an instant and break out in a cold sweat.
Playing football abroad brings more than just infinite scenery!
The first thing to face is that after being influenced by different football cultures, the former partners have gone their own different ways. Although the understanding is still there, the familiarity is still there, but the hasty preparation time, the heavy training and competition tasks, and the long journey back and forth have greatly weakened the combat effectiveness. As for tactical play, employing strategy, and commanding on the spot, these are not things they can control.
The second is contradictions, contradictions of all kinds.
Some people are beautiful, some people are red-eyed, and those guys who are in the country are resistant to them in their hearts. If the game goes smoothly, it's just that, hello, hello, everyone. But once they encounter difficulties and encounter hard bones, none of those guys are willing to be the first birds, and they are eager to put the responsibility on them.
You can do it, you can come!
Their strength is not to the extent that they can easily crush domestic masters, and they will also have form problems and encounter conflicts in style of play. At this time when someone needs to step up and save the shipwreck, their ability is not up to the requirements, and their hearts are not mature enough to play the role that spiritual leaders should have.
This makes them understand that there is still a long way to go, and going abroad is only the first step, and there is no capital to be proud of!
Perhaps only after this painful lesson can they see this clearly, instead of continuing to pin their hopes on those two guys.
"I really didn't expect that Yao Xia, the last one of us to come out, actually became the one with the highest starting point."
Sitting in the bar box, Zhang Xiaorui chatted and chatted, not without emotion.
He has been in the rich and knows how deep the water is. For newcomers, especially pure newcomers who have never worked abroad, it is not necessarily a good thing to be in a wealthy family as soon as they come.
What's more, Manchester United, a top giant club that aims to defend the title in the third line, everyone's vision and requirements are far higher than ordinary people, and patience for newcomers is very limited.
At present, although Yao Xia has been given a stage to show himself because of the intensification of the conflict between Beckham and Ferguson, with such an exaggerated standard, he is not the top guy in China, can he show a passing performance or above?
He has no prejudice against Yao Xia, but as a person from the past, it is difficult for him to remain optimistic about it.
"Yes, most people don't fit into a high starting point."
You Mo smiled, his gaze became distant, as if the scenes of six years ago had come to life again, beckoning not far away.
"Well...... Zhang Xiaorui understood in seconds, and said with a smile, "I don't know much about Yao Xia, maybe it's unfounded." ”
The smile on You Mo's face became brighter and brighter, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Da Yu is actually suitable for this kind of high starting point, but it is a little worse in dealing with people, and it has to be sharpened again." ”
"Dealing with people?" Zhang Xiaorui looked thoughtful and muttered to himself: "It seems that not only does the ball have to be played well, but also you have to be able to be a talent......
Wang Dan has the most say in this regard, she put down the song she was about to sing, came over and said: "A team is a small river, and there are all kinds of people in it. The team members seem to be good brothers who sweat together, but in fact, the contradictions caused by individual differences are unavoidable. As a head coach who understands management, he will not simply deal with conflicts based on right and wrong. They need to balance their interests and think for the long term, not to ignore the overall effect because of individual demands. ”
The little fat man who was smashed by this large paragraph of terms was a little dizzy, and just about to speak, the guy who couldn't fight first protested.
"Contradiction is an important driving force to promote the development of things, and once there is no contradiction, the pace of progress has almost stopped."
Zhang Xiaorui was extremely surprised when he heard this, and asked with admiration: "Boss, what you said is both simple and profound, it makes people think endlessly!" ”
Wang Dan continued to reiterate her point of view with a disdainful face, "Two different things, I mean that as a managed, you must understand the manager's thoughts in order to communicate truly effectively." Otherwise, if you just feel wronged, but you don't understand that this is also a test, there is no way to become the core, oh no, it is more appropriate to say that you are a confidant! ”
Zhang Xiaorui was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "Sister-in-law is amazing, she thinks people thoroughly!" ”
After speaking, he sighed, "No wonder the boss and Lu Weinian can be assistant coaches at a young age, this kind of open-mindedness is not something ordinary people can have!" ”
You Mo's praised old face was slightly red, and he rarely corrected seriously: "Although they are both assistant coaches, Mr. Lu and I have different roles in the team. Just like when we used to play together, he was in charge of the technical and tactical things, and I was the lubricant, and I was in charge of mediating the internal and external relations. ”
Zhang Xiaorui reacted quickly, nodded slightly, and said: "I understand that the team needs to walk on two legs to be stable." Technique and tactics are one thing, atmosphere is another, and both are indispensable. ”
Wang Dan sighed as if he had just reacted: "It's said that the Manchester United team has made such a big mess, and Lu Wei is still like no one, it turns out that he knows that people know his own affairs, and it is easier to do bad things blindly!" ”
After speaking, he was a little puzzled, turned his head and asked: "You are not very good at adjusting your foreign relations, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
You Mo laughed again, reached out and patted Zhang Xiaorui's back, "Although your sister-in-law's hair is a little shorter, her knowledge is not short at all. It's just a little trouble in your thinking, time is tight, can you talk to her? ”
Before the little fat man could speak, Wang Dan had already pounced with his teeth and claws, and he didn't shy away from anything, sitting on the leg of the goods and began to tickle with his hands up and down.
Zhang Xiaorui was a little dumbfounded, but he felt that the style of painting changed too quickly, and it would be a little difficult to accept it for a while. So he smiled and picked up the wine on the table and poured himself a drink.
The two of them quarreled for a while and felt that the audience was too small and not enthusiastic enough, so they stopped and continued to get down to business.
"Xiaorui, don't say it yet!" Wang Dan waved his hand, his voice was still hateful, "If he doesn't want to say it, forget it, I can figure it out myself!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui got the holy gift, and just had time to ask the question that had been hanging in his mind for a long time, "Then how do you get along with the head coach, boss?" Why would Arsene Wenger rather offend all the Englishmen than make it public that you have become an assistant coach? Isn't it okay to keep it secret? ”
You Mo smiled and said seriously: "This is this kind of posture of advancing and retreating together, Arsenal can't compete with other giants in terms of financial resources, and can only play the emotional card." ”
"Oh......" Zhang Xiaorui replied in a long voice, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, Manchester United has Lu Wei there, and Chelsea has Abu's cheque book, even if these two companies are not short of manpower, they can also use this way to attack the opponent!" ”
"yes." You Mo had regret on his face, "The temptation is too great, and it is not something that can be dealt with by conventional means." If you don't want to sell me, you can't look ahead and worry about the bad impact and damage to the club's image. ”
"By the way, Boss, what about your teammates, can you accept this unconventional situation?" Zhang Xiaorui continued to ask: "I'm sure they won't have doubts about your ability, but they can't say the past on their faces, right?" ”
You Mo was rarely patient, and explained seriously: "Everyone wants face, but taking it too seriously will cause unnecessary trouble." The competitive world has always had the final say, and face cannot be eaten. Arsene Wenger understands this, so he will not hesitate to show his sincerity at the cost of infamy. ”
"Got it!" Zhang Xiaorui nodded heavily, and sighed again, "It's a pleasure to talk to the boss, and you can sort out complicated things in just a few words!" ”
Without waiting for You Mo to speak, the guy who was good at stealing the spotlight finally ended the long exam and talked in amazement.
"No wonder you've been lukewarm to the media, so it is!"
"Normally, a strong team with few opponents in the league will spend most of a season in the media."
"Especially in the United Kingdom, where the media industry is highly developed, a good football can be praised to the sky, not to mention a few games, dozens of games to perform well?"
"It's easy for young players to get carried away in this situation, to indulge in pleasure and pursuit, and to lose their way!"
"There are too many examples like this to mention."
"If you deliberately have a good relationship with the media, it seems that there is a lot less noise, and there is a lot of singing and dancing. In fact, if any group wants to develop healthily, external pressure is very important, and if no one picks on it, it is easy to feel that it is invincible. If the opponent is not strong and the win is easy, then this kind of thinking can easily swell up and become a stumbling block on the way forward! ”
"So you've been lukewarm to the media, and you've not taken the initiative to defend yourself. The purpose is to maintain this constant noise, so that everyone is hated and feel that the media is extremely hateful, right? ”
Faced with such an explanation, You Mo decisively gave a thumbs up.
"People like to watch the weak beat the strong, the poor beat the rich, and our players are no exception. But in reality, this kind of thing is rare after all, and it can't satisfy the general psychology. So, it is necessary to create a false impression that everyone thinks that we are not strong, and that it is easy to find weaknesses and defeat us. ”
"Huh?"
The two audience members froze in unison.
You Mo continued to say unhurriedly: "Just like leading troops to fight, showing the enemy to be weak is just a means, not really thinking that you are weak and need to look up to the opponent. ”
Wang Dan came back to his senses first, stretched his voice "oh", and said with emotion: "It means that although you have an excellent record, you always feel trembling, and you rarely can win!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui's reaction was also very fast, but his thoughts drifted a little far, "No wonder the team that has the last laugh in the competition often doesn't perform well in the group stage!" ”
These words made You Mo think so, tilted his head and thought about it, and said with emotion: "Yes, big victory and defeat RP, this law has been tried and tested repeatedly!" ”
Wang Dan was a little unhappy when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Could it be that you can win the game by a big margin, but you have to keep it kicking?" Aren't you afraid of being self-defeating, giving the opponent a chance to breathe, or ruining the team's momentum? ”
Zhang Xiaorui was also a little puzzled, but he didn't speak, just looked at the familiar and unfamiliar guy beside him.
Even if it's close in front of you, you can't see through it.
"Yes, because there are not a few people who shake the opponent awake and bite themselves because of the kick." You Mo smiled, stretched his waist, and wanted to get up but was pressed down, so he had to say with a bitter face: "The charm of victory and defeat lies in unpredictability, and of course artificially creating difficulties may kill yourself." ”
After a pause, the goods spread their hands, "The key to the problem is whether you can be mentally prepared to face it if it leads to adverse consequences!" ”
"To put it simply, if you want to die and live later, you must first have a heart that is not afraid of death."
......
Zhang Xiaorui came with a question, and before he got the answer, he already felt that the trip was worthwhile.
He is a good thinker, the best to draw inferences, although he is not strong enough to become the backbone of a team, but among the friends who have followed those two guys over the years, he and Yao Xia's growth is the greatest.
It can be said that it has far exceeded expectations, reaching a level that I can't even imagine!
This is related to their low-key posture and diligent and studious temperament, but the shortcomings in the two personalities are also obvious, belonging to the type that may go the wrong way if you are not careful, and you will never turn back.
Zhang Xiaorui lacks some sense of autonomy, is easy to satisfy, and likes to go with the flow. If no one is lit up in front of him, he can easily wander or even go backwards.
Yao Xia is the most suitable guy to be the boss among his friends, but unfortunately he is a good hand in pretending to be red-faced, and he can't pretend to be black-faced. If you are too kind-hearted and your means are not hard enough, you will inevitably lose your initiative in a complex environment until you accumulate a lot of weight.
Fortunately, those two guys saw the possible consequences of these shortcomings in advance, and guided them more when helping them to give advice, and tried to avoid those minefields. Or even if you step on it, you only step on those mines that can bring growth and reflect on your own problems.
"How's it going, are you confident in the game in three days?"
Sitting in the stands of Highbury, Wang Dan asked leisurely: "That's your life-and-death battle, it's a life-and-death battle to decide whether you can have a fat year!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui laughed, and her round face and round eyes came together with a sense of joy.
"Didn't the boss say that the more difficult it is to accept the consequences, the more you must be mentally prepared. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to exert your success, but even your normal performance will be affected by luck psychology, which has become a luxury! ”
Wang Dan pursed his lips and pointed to the field, "I admit that his crooked reasoning can be justified, but a team is composed of eleven people, how can you think the same?" Once you die and the meat in your mouth slips away, can others have no complaints? Can you not hold a grudge? ”
These words made Zhang Xiaorui silent for a while, until the whistle blew, and then he said thoughtfully: "Maybe the boss has a big goal, and he can't use conventional means to slowly improve everyone's strength, right?" ”
Wang Dan was suddenly in a daze, thought about it, and shook his head a little.
"What are they anxious about, you are all young, they are younger than you, why can't you take your time step by step?"
Zhang Xiaorui shook his head and looked at the field.
Maybe there's an answer there, he thought. (To be continued.) )
