Chapter 50: Your New Coach [124/136]
"The team has been showing signs of bad lately." At the weekly coaching staff meeting, everyone will share their training experience from the previous week, check for gaps, and then arrange the training plan for the week.
When something goes wrong with the team, it's the first thing to start discussing at this meeting.
The first to ask this question was the team's assistant coach, Rudy. Gonzalez.
He's in charge of that
Chang Sheng nodded: "I can see it too." The current voice in the media is very bad for us, too much praise and praise for our voice, some praise and praise and even nonsense. That's not a good thing. ”
Rudy. Gonzalez went on to say: "It's affected the mentality of the players. Now our players seem to think they've won the league. It is said that in the dressing room, there are already players who are talking about how they will spend the prize money if they win the championship......"
Chang Sheng laughed, he was angry, the league has only started eleven rounds, and some players have begun to think about what will happen after the league ends.
Are they too confident in themselves, or are they too confident in their constant victory?
'This has to be curbed, otherwise there is a danger that the team's discipline will collapse.' Rudy. Gonzalez made a suggestion.
'But the question is how do you make the players realise that we are not in the best situation as the media says we are? Pep Guardiola asked. "We are indeed second in the league, we are really unbeaten and we are very good...... The media exaggerates, but it is also based on our performance...... Facts speak louder than words, so how do we convince them? ”
Pep Guardiola's problems have plunged Mr. Chang's office into silence.
Everybody thought it was tricky, Pep Guardiola had a point, we were playing very well and the confidence of the players came from that. How do we convince them to stay calm? Do you want to deny yourself?
"Or else...... If you lose a game, they know what is wrong, right? "Former Lazio coach Spinosi gave his opinion.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, this is not good, we can obviously win, why should we lose?" And trying your best to end up losing the game because of bad luck is another thing, it's completely different from losing on purpose. At last. If we deliberately lose the game, I think our opponents will be very happy to see it, and we can't let them get their way. ”
The locker room fell silent again after listening to Chang Sheng's words. If deliberately losing and artificially creating blows doesn't work, then they really can't think of any good way.
In the end, everyone didn't come up with a better way, so they had to let Chang Sheng give a speech of "cleansing the soul".
But even Chang Sheng himself didn't believe that if he sprayed a few words, the players would be able to immediately throw away their pride and conceit and train desperately.
This is not the same as when Getafe was in crisis.
Now Lazio's financial crisis has eased. The team's results are good, the players really don't have any sense of crisis, and it's useless to drink at the head.
It only works when the team is in trouble and at a loss. It is useless for you to say to a person who has no worries about food and clothing, "If you don't work hard, it's too late", why work hard?
※※※
Chang Sheng, who returned home, was still thinking about this in his head.
But there's really nothing to do.
He made himself a cup of coffee and stood at the window looking out.
He has moved out of the apartment he rented when he was in charge of Rome.
The place where he now lives is the wealthy district of Rome. All of them are small villas, with either white or orange or yellow facades. The windowsills are basically equipped with potted roses. However, Chang Sheng's window mouth is not, because most of the time Chang Sheng's family is alone, and Chang Sheng's own affairs are too busy, how can he have time to take care of flowers and plants?
None of the villas have lawns in front of and behind them, and the walls are covered with green vines.
The environment is very good.
Someone was fighting dogs on the lawn across the street and throwing frisbees. Then the dog would run out, chase the frisbee, and finally bring it back to its owner, who would pat it on the head appreciatively and feed it. It can be seen from the dog's desperately wagging tail that it is happy.
One person and one dog just had a lot of fun.
Rome is a city with a lot of dogs. People here like to have dogs, and most of the neighbors around Changsheng feed their dogs, and it is common to see people jogging on the side of the road with their dogs when they go out.
Chang Sheng's eyes were attracted by the one man and one dog playing in the game, and he forgot about the problem he was worrying about for a while.
Under the command of the owner, the dog seems to be very obedient, and the owner does whatever he tells him to do.
After playing the game of frisbee, the owner asked the dog to sit down, lie down, and circle around......
After each command from the owner, the dog will follow the owner's instructions.
Changsheng looks at it with interest.
Then suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
He put down his coffee cup, then pulled out his mobile phone, and he dialed the number of President Lotito.
"Mr. President, do you know any dog trainers or animal trainers?"
※※※
Lotito really knows a good dog trainer, because his family also has dogs, so in order to make the dog obedient, he has a relationship with the dog trainer.
He introduced Chang Sheng to a dog trainer who had a good relationship with him.
Antonio. Luciano.
A thirty-five-year-old dog trainer.
Experienced and top notch.
The dogs he trained have also won prizes in international competitions.
Lotito spoke highly of Luciano: "The dogs he trained are just like people, obedient and intelligent!" ”
The first time the two met was at the dog training ground in Luciano.
Here, Chang Sheng saw more than 100 dogs, large and small, but most of them were large working dogs.
"We have cooperated with the Roman Jǐng Inspection Bureau here, and we train them all kinds of working dogs every year...... Luciano took Chang Sheng to visit his dog training farm and introduced him. There was pride in his tone.
Chang Sheng has little research on dogs and is not very interested. He doesn't have pets, but now he needs a dog to help him, so he listened to Luciano's introduction with pride.
After Luciano introduced his dog training to Chang Sheng. Only then did he remember that people were looking for him, so he asked, "I don't know what help you need from me, Mr. Chang?" ”
Chang Sheng organized the words, thinking about how Luciano should explain this matter.
He thought that anyone with a normal IQ should be surprised when they heard his next words......
Sure enough, when he finished speaking, Luciano's eyes widened as he stared at Chang Sheng. It's like staring at a monster.
Chang Sheng saw him like this. Automatically ignoring the other person's eyes, and then asking, "Can you do this?" ”
"Is it really not chained?" Luciano asked rhetorically.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "No." That way they won't be afraid. ”
"Uh......" Luciano hesitated.
"Looks like it can't be done, right?" Chang Sheng was a little disappointed.
But Luciano nodded: "If it's other dogs, I'm not sure." But my 'Blue Eagle' should be fine, it's a very obedient Doberman. ”
He said this with great pride, in stark contrast to his hesitant tone.
Chang Sheng didn't expect that when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, they would be bright.
He held out his hand to Luciano: "Then I thank you on behalf of the Lazio team, Mr. Luciano, you have done us a great favor!" ”
"No thanks. Mr. Chang. I'm a friend of Mr. Lotito and a fan of Lazio, so it's an honour and a pleasure to be able to contribute to the team I support. ”
The hands of the two men were clasped together.

At the start of the new day, the players changed their clothes and came out of the locker room. Because it is a national team competition, their topic is naturally inseparable from the national team competition. Most of these players are youngsters, and some of them may have experience playing at youth level for the national team. But the senior national team is still new to them.
Being selected for the national team is a coveted honor for them.
This season. With Lazio's performance in the league, many players began to look forward to their performance in Lazio, which eventually attracted the attention of the national team coach, was promoted to the national team, and then officially began their glorious international career.
In the future, the national team will play rì, and they will finally not have to be like this. I watched enviously in front of the TV and was able to participate in it myself.
Then it may be the turn of others to envy them.
As the players happily walked into the training pitch chatting with each other, they were startled by a barking dog.
A dark-furred, majestic Doberman stood on the edge of the training ground, barking at every player who came to the training ground!
There was a dog-loving player who exclaimed. I wanted to come up and tease this beautiful dog, but I was scared back by a wild bark from the other party.
Then everyone reacted, why are there dogs on the training ground?
Their head coach doesn't have dogs, so where did this dog come from?
The black Doberman Pinscher stood at the edge of the training ground, staring at the players opposite, barking incessantly.
Everyone was horrified to find the dog...... There is no chain! It just stands on the sidelines, no one can restrain it, and it can rush up at any moment to give the players a bite.
It barked wildly, as if to remind the players that this is Lao Tzu's territory!
At this time, someone in the coaching staff shouted, and Doberman suddenly became more honest. Of course, this is relative, it just doesn't bark anymore, in fact it still stares at the players, baring its teeth and growling.
Looking at its sharp teeth, some players suddenly feel leg pain, if it bites on the leg, it is estimated that this season will be reimbursed, right?
Everyone finally felt scared, and some of the players who were timid, or who were already afraid of dogs, simply hid behind their other teammates.
Luckily, Doberman didn't mean to pounce, he just stood in his own turf and kept grinning at the players, aiming to the left and the right. It seems to enjoy the look on which the players are scared and afraid.
At this time, Chang Sheng's voice rang out: "Okay, don't be afraid, guys. Come, let me introduce you to it. Your new coach, Obina. Blue Eagle. ”
Chang Sheng appeared behind the dog and pointed to the Doberman on the ground.
