Chapter 101: Work of the Heart
Dina McGovern is a very professional person, her work is effective in relieving the pressure of the players, and her witty language is also very appealing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she was at Manchester City, Dina McGovern's mental guidance to the players was very helpful, especially for those players who played a lot and were under a lot of pressure, which allowed them to relieve some of the pressure and perform more consistently on the field.
"It's time to get a psychologist for the team."
Wan Sheng thought.
It is difficult to say how much effect it can have to find a professional psychologist to do auxiliary work for the team, but as long as it can have a little effect, even if it affects the outcome of a game, it is worth it.
From the perspective of club management, psychiatrists get a high salary, but the high salary of ordinary people is nothing compared to professional players, and the lowest-paid players in the first team also get more than the vast majority of doctors.
When Wan Sheng thought about it, the first thing he thought of was to find an 'acquaintance', and he called Dina McGovern with the attitude of trying, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
McGovern got married three years ago and her husband works in Manchester, and it is all too unlikely that she would choose to come to Madrid.
In the end, Wan Sheng still beat it.
What Wansheng didn't expect was that Dina McGovern directly agreed.
Dina McGovern was very surprised when she received the call, when she heard what Wan Sheng said, she only thought about it for a while, and then directly agreed, it was as simple as asking 'eat together tonight', after putting down the phone, Wan Sheng secretly felt strange.
Why?
It doesn't make sense to think about it.
In fact, Dina McGovern's life situation is not good, not so much financially, but emotionally.
In Manchester City Club, Dina McGovern has always been regarded as 'Wansheng's descendant staff', she was brought to Manchester City Club in Wansheng, and her work is also very professional, after Wansheng left the position of Manchester City coach, Dina McGovern's position was a little awkward, but she was still very capable and was not fired by Manchester City Club.
Although the club gave her a slight salary cut, the income was actually very good, and the work was relatively easy.
This is not the case in love life.
Dina McGovern is a psychiatrist, very researched in psychology, this kind of person is often unpleasant in life, so her family life is not harmonious, and she and her husband do not quarrel, but the two have always been estranged, plus they have been married for three years without children, and this marriage soon came to an end.
McGovern got divorced two months ago.
McGovern's husband is still in Manchester, and the two have just finished a lawsuit over the house and property, and McGovern is planning to start a new life.
So when Wansheng invited her to Madrid, McGovern agreed after a little thought.
Start a new life in Madrid!
――――
In the 28th round of the league, Atletico Madrid's opponent is Almeria.
Almeria are bottom of the league and the worst performing team in La Liga, with almost certain relegation and slim hopes of relegation.
Maybe even they gave up on their own.
In the face of such a team, Wansheng sent a lot of substitutes, but in the end it was a 2-0 away victory.
There is nothing to say about the victory in this round.
No team's win over Almeria is big news, let alone Atletico Madrid, who are top of the league, but after this round, Atletico Madrid was covered by many media outlets as they have won thirteen consecutive league games.
Since drawing with Deportivo La Coruna in the 15th round of the league, Atletico Madrid have been on a winning streak until now.
"As" newspaper commented, "Barcelona have played big scores in every game, but Atletico Madrid's results are more consistent. They are unbeaten in the league so far, and this 13-game winning streak has also allowed them to completely throw Barcelona behind and occupy a huge advantage in the league competition......
There is a reason for what the newspaper says, and in fact, other media have praised the stability of Atletico Madrid while criticizing Barcelona's instability.
Because...... Barcelona is flat again!
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played at the same time, they faced Sevilla, and perhaps Manzano suffered enough losses from Atletico Madrid, so they used their tight defense against Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola believes the reason for the defeat lies with the referee.
The match between the two teams is played at the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, and Barcelona simply cannot accept a draw in the league, which means their title hopes will become even more slim.
However, recalling Sevilla's reckless meat grinder defence for the full 90 minutes, Guardiola expressed his displeasure at the result in his post-match press conference, and his remarks were directed at referee Pérez Lassa.
As soon as the post-match press conference began, Guardiola pointed out how difficult it is to get points on Sevilla turf.
Compared to last season's 3-2 win over Sevilla, he saw nothing to look back on, "Last year we only had one league game left after this triumph, but this year there are still 10 games waiting for us. is also on Sevilla's turf, but today's game is mixed with so many things than last season that there is really nothing to look back on today's game. ”
In fact, Barcelona led the game but the final three points turned into one, and Guardiola was unhappy with the result, commenting on the whole game: "We played a good game against a good team. Sevilla have been a powerhouse in La Liga for many years and they have followed their style, which has kept them in the ranks of the highest level. In the first half, many of our efforts yielded only marginal results. On the other hand, in the second half, we were tied early by the opponent, but Canoute, who came on in the second half, led Sevilla, who defended in the first half, to play against us, and their high-level counter-attacks made us a little uncomfortable. Overall, I'm happy with the game and if you measure it by the standards of the Champions League, we had a good performance. ”
Next, Guardiola began to talk about the 'injustice' in the game, especially Messi's whistled free kick, and he put diplomatic pressure on the relevant departments of La Liga in front of the media, "There are too many things mixed in this game, and you have all seen that, out of respect for Barça's conventions, as a Barcelona manager, I should not comment on the referee, because in front of such a good team, the referee will always make better decisions." I wouldn't say too much about that blown free-kick because it wasn't necessary. As a coach at Barça, I shouldn't talk about that. ”
Sergio Busquets, who was the person concerned, commented on Perez-Lhasa's misjudgment after the game, "There is no need to make any comments on the referee, the only thing I can say is that I didn't touch him." When the ball flew past me, I didn't do anything but watch it fly by. ”
Perez Lhasa is indeed a disgusting referee, and there are always some unfair decisions to be seen in him.
Compared to Mourinho's heavy pressure after Real Madrid's draw with Almeria and saying that "I don't want referees like Perez-Lassa to officiate Real Madrid-Barcelona games again", Guardiola did not express any complaints, but at the same time, let everyone know how dissatisfied he is with Pérez Lassa.
This may be Pep Guardiola's diplomatic art.
Finally, when talking about the seven-point gap with Atletico Madrid, Guardiola said, "Seven points is not an absolute difference, there are 10 rounds left in the league and anything can happen. We can only do our best to be ourselves. As for the moment, we have to go all out to prepare for the league against Getafe, after all, the league has not yet decided the winner. ”
――――
At the end of the 28th round of the league, Atletico Madrid was seven points ahead of Barcelona, and the whole club was very happy, and many people started to say 'the league title is definitely ours'.
Another surprise for Mansheng was that Ms. Dina McGovern had come to Madrid.
The club sent staff to pick up the plane, and then invited Dina McGovern to the training base, Wan Sheng and McGovern are also old acquaintances, and they can be regarded as last friends, they worked together in Manchester City Club before, Wan Sheng didn't have time to greet McGovern, and even signed a work contract for McGovern, which was solved by the relevant departments of the club, and then he let McGovern put into work.
'I don't want to squeeze the staff of the club, but the Madrid derby is about to start and I hope you can get back to work as soon as possible to help the players take a bit of a mental break.
McGovern nodded in agreement.
So the day before the Madrid derby, one by one the players were called to McGovern's office to talk, and then McGovern reported to Wan Sheng, "Most of the players are in a good state of mind, and a few substitutes are a little bit of pressure, but it may not have anything to do with the tournament." ”
Wan Sheng was stunned when he saw the report, "What's that?" ”
McGovern rolled his eyes and said, "Of course the substitutes are because they can't play. ”
Wan Sheng nodded, still thinking about things.
McGovern's ability to do his job can be trusted, and her conclusions can't be said to be 100 percent correct, at least 90 percent, but there is no pressure on the team to face the Madrid derby?!!
Thinking about it from another angle, it's quite normal.
Especially after the end of the last round, the team is seven points ahead of Barcelona, such a big gap is enough to reassure, and Real Madrid has lost to Atletico Madrid three times, and the whole team faces Real Madrid again, especially at home, and it doesn't make sense without much pressure.
This time Wansheng is relieved.
He had always been worried about the pressure on the team, and when he saw that a player was not concentrating, it always came down to the pressure of the tournament, so he tried all kinds of ways to help solve it.
But with McGovern, she can help analyse the causes of pressure and also help players reduce it.
You don't have to worry about that. (To be continued.) )
