Chapter 24: Do You Still Want to Succeed?

"When you encounter a little setback, you want to give up and give in, a player like you will not be productive until you retire! Don't expect success at the Bernabeu! ”

Chang Sheng's words were like knives, poking at Pavon's heart.

Pavon clenched his fists, Chang Sheng is to deny him fundamentally!

But Chang Sheng seemed to not see his small moves, and continued to say to himself: "You think you can succeed at the Bernabeu? Do you think you can be a leader like Hierro? You're doing a good job with Team B, I know that, but the world of the first team is completely different from Team B, and I don't think you're ready to face the first team with the mentality of Team B, and if you think I'm wrong, you can remember the game that stuck with you, Francis. ”

Chang Sheng picked open Pavon's scar again, revealing the bloody flesh and bones inside.

'It's impossible for any centre-back to play without facing the opposition's attack. In that game, Valencia was too much for you, but I don't think it's too much - you're the weakness of the team, why can't I play against Real Madrid's weakness? If you were the manager, would you not do it? If you think you're under siege, you have to find a reason for yourself in the first place - why are you being besieged? ”

Chang Sheng stared at Pa Wen, who bowed his head and was silent, and asked, speaking very politely.

"If you don't have weaknesses, or if you're tough against our offense, even if it's a foul that makes my players suffer. But do you have one? Do you do this? You don't, you just frown and wait for the judgment of fate with a bitter expression...... If this is fate, have you done anything to rebel against fate? ”

'When I was at Getafe, there was a youngster, he was also a centre-back, and I pushed him to the front at the crucial moment of relegation. At that time, I don't know how many people scolded me, saying that I was helping a young man to start under so much pressure, which would only ruin him. Opponents, seeing that he was young and inexperienced, used him as the main breakthrough point of the attack - you see, how similar is the situation you encountered? So someone else is deliberately targeting you for me, Francisco. Anyone in my position who meets someone like you will do it. Why? Because you make people look like you're a bully. But that player of mine proved that he was not easy to bully at all in the game! Even if he is passed by his opponent, he will fight again with high spirits, entanglement and fight with the opponent again and again, until it is clear to his opponents that this is a tough nut to crack, and in order not to waste time, they have to take a detour. What about you? Did you show that kind of spirit in that game? You don't, so what are you complaining about? What do you have to complain about? ”

Chang Sheng raised his voice and kept asking rhetorical questions.

"You think professional football is so easy to mix? You were born into a wealthy family, and you were born with a higher starting point than others, so you thought this industry would be easy to mix, right? ”

Pavon finally responded, he shook his head and said: "No, I don't think so, playing at Real Madrid, the pressure is also very high, even more than you think...... People compare me to Zinedine Zidane and it makes me feel a lot of pressure......"

"Stressed? What is stressful? You see, I said you still don't have the mentality of a professional footballer. As a professional footballer, who doesn't need to be under a lot of pressure? If you want to succeed, you're under more pressure, but do you think you're going to succeed by crying 'don't put too much pressure on me'? No! Pressure is something you need to beat and overcome! Instead of being like you, with a decadent face, waiting for the pressure to go away automatically...... That won't! Not to mention playing football, even if you live in this world, you are facing pressure all the time every day, don't you want to live? What's a little stressed? What is stressful? If you want to succeed ** is greater than the pressure you are under, then grit my teeth and fight hard to overcome the pressure! But is your desire to succeed so strong? I've never felt it all in you. Whether it's that game or your performance at Real Madrid at the end, I've never seen you desperate to succeed and change your fate. I never think that ** is a shameful thing, people don't have ** then they can't be called people. Do you have a **? If you don't, then you're the walking dead! ”

Chang Sheng's words were louder and louder, like a storm, and the bean-sized raindrops hit Pavin's eardrums and hit his heart.

It's like a drumbeat, the drumbeat of battle, rapid and powerful, endless.

"You want to succeed, but you don't want to work hard, and when you encounter a little setback, you start to complain, feeling that the responsibility for your failure lies with others, not yourself, if it is nothing, you will not be like this, if it is nothing, you will not be like that...... Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, you might as well cheer up and prove yourself again. I'm going to ask you a question now, Francisco. Pavin, do you still want to be successful? Do you still want to be a good centre-back, like you wanted when you were at Chamartin's training base? Answer me! ”

The last sound was like thunder, which scared Pavon, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word.

But he still didn't look up.

So Chang Sheng shouted again: "Raise your head, Francisco. Pavon! Keep your head up! If you think that I am the one who caused you to suffer misfortune, that I am your destiny, then you raise your head, look at me, and rebel against me! Beat me! Prove it to me, you can do it! Hasn't anyone ever said such things to you? Tell you that you have encountered difficulties and setbacks, don't keep your head down, don't think that you can't see difficulties and setbacks when you lower your head, you will be safe! You're going to die even worse! Hear no! Because then you would surrender and completely surrender the initiative to damn fate! Don't bow your head when faced with difficulties! Don't turn around! Never shine your back on your enemies, and never let your enemies out of your sight! ”

"Why should I sign you in? I don't have a hobby of collecting cowards. I just think you're still capable but what you're lacking is confidence, and as long as you have faith, you can still be a good centre-back. Did you hear that? You still can! But first you have to give me his a** cheer up! ”

Chang Shengcai will not tell Pavon that when he played FM in the past and coached a low-level team, Pavon in the game was already a free agent that no one wanted, so he gave a very low contract, brought him to his own team, and then entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, making him the main central defender, and the result was quite good, and he was the main contributor to the team's promotion. I didn't ask for the main position either. So eventually Pavon retired from his own team. As a substitute, he won the league, the domestic cup and the Champions League.

These were probably the most glorious years of his career, but alas, it was after he turned thirty-one.

A person who had a very high starting point as soon as he debuted and was compared to Zidane, but he didn't expect to end up like this......

Creation makes people, and the fate is unfortunate.

But even so, you have to have the courage to resist fate.

Victorious has saved a lot of people, Jose. Passarella, Luis. Garcia, Reyes...... Wait. But the rescued subject himself must be willing to change the status quo, otherwise he will never care.

After Pavon interviewed Chang Sheng, he spent two days in a state of confusion, and he didn't even care about training. It was strange to the coach and his teammates that they didn't know what the boss had talked about when he called Pavon for an interview.

No matter how much people asked, Pavon never answered the question.

Rudy. Gonzalez asked Changsheng what he had said to Pavin that caused him to be so depressed now.

"It's nothing, just scolding him and asking him if he still wants to succeed." Chang Sheng shrugged.

"Looks like you're scolding a bit harshly." Rudy. Gonzalez said.

"That's not necessarily, maybe they're restarting?"

Chang Sheng smiled.

※※※

Two days later, when Pavon restarted, he was like a different person, full of fighting spirit in training, and even stayed after training to take the initiative to improve his body.

Chang Sheng confirmed that Pavon still has the motivation to succeed in his heart.

Then there is hope.

After all, Pavon will be his main central defender, and he doesn't want his main central defender to be a dou who can't be supported.

On August 4, in the second leg of the Toto Cup, a very crucial match, Lazio will go to face Marseille away, they drew 1-1 in the first leg, and Marseille also scored an away goal.

For Chang Sheng, it is not too much to say that this is a battle of life and death.

Sure enough, Lazio was eliminated in the Toto Cup, and although he will not be sacked, his prestige and prestige will definitely be affected.

One wonders if he's still the same amazing coach who always brought victory to the team.

But in this game, everyone was surprised to find that Pavon, who was replaced in advance because of his poor performance in the last game, reappeared in the starting central defender position!

Everyone was surprised.

Isn't Chang Sheng still dead?

After the last game, the media scolded Pavon so much that he couldn't lift his head, but Chang Sheng still put Pavon in the starting lineup. Is he completely ignoring the media?

Or does he have to work against the media because of his hatred of the media?

Roma Sport ridiculed Lazio before the game as the most Spanish team in Italy.

It's funny, because when Chang Sheng was in charge of Getafe, he was considered the most Italian team in Spain......
