The Ball at Your Feet

Until the next day of training, Zhao Yaning still had a big question in his heart that could not be relieved: what was wrong with him, why did he dare not listen to the head coach and chose to do whatever he wanted in the game?

Thinking about this question, Zhao Yaning also came up with the answer: This question is still related to management.

When he was in Ligue 1, he definitely wouldn't dare to do that. If he really dared not listen to Deschamps' orders to come by himself, Deschamps would definitely dared to throw him into the reserve team for a year. Deschamps' temper has always done what he said, and he is unrelenting in punishing people. It is precisely because of this that I was so obedient at that time.

In contrast, Benitez's temper seems to be worse. Although he also wanted to behave like a strict ruler of the army, he still didn't dare to be as tough as Deschamps in his bones. It is precisely because of this that the players in the team will clearly know what his orders are, but they still dare to resist his orders and discuss other ways in private.

However, it does not seem to be all.

Although Deschamps is strict, he is caring for the players. When he is in private, he is a nice person to get along with. Although in the team, his requirements are very strict, but after leaving the team, he is very easy to get along with. At that time, he would ask the players to have a drink, or occasionally go to the players’ homes as a guest. In the arena, he would ask the players to say hello to each other and celebrate each other, and he would also take the initiative to say hello to Zhao Yaning. , Is an elder brother who knows a lot of things and is willing to help himself, Zhao Yaning will naturally not resist him. But Benitez...Although he never beats or punishes the players, he never punishes anyone, but after he left the team, he didn’t communicate with the players, and he spoke every time he spoke. At that time, he preached that it was all tactical arrangements. Such a style makes Zhao Yaning always feel that he feels like a math teacher...

Maybe I should have a good talk with him, it can't always go on like this. The atmosphere of the team is so good, and he always does it. Zhao Yaning hadn't paid attention before, but now he has this idea: if he alone is dissatisfied with him, Zhao Yaning thinks it may be his own problem, and he can bear it himself. But everyone is dissatisfied, maybe I should go talk to him.

And he did have such a period of time. Because the national team game day is here and his teammates are gone, he just has time.

At this time, there are still a few players in the club. One is Spaniard Arteta-he does not have a national team game task, and the other is Cowell-a national team task outside of the Oceania Australia competition, that is, there is no task...

Zhao Yaning is the same. The Asian World Preliminaries are over, so he doesn't have to play in the national team games.

Similarly, Milito and Fowler have no national team missions. Milito is due to the wealth of the Argentine national team and he is not in his turn. Fowler is getting older and the national team is no longer needed.

But almost all of the defense lines went to the national team. Riise, Finnan, Hypia, and Vidic are all the pillars of their respective national teams, and Maicon was also called away by Brazil this time. Even Carragher got the call of the national team this time-although he was only ranked in Campbell, Ferdinand, the fourth goalkeeper of the national team after Terry.

The game has been difficult to play. Although Liverpool’s second team is there, they are too far behind the first team. Therefore, Liverpool's training has become a passing training.

After the training, Zhao Yaning went directly to Benitez's office to talk to Benitez.

But after seeing Benitez, Benitez's words surprised him.

"I think I need to apologize to you."

"You apologize to me?" Zhao Yaning apologized to this, sounding a little inexplicable. "You made a mistake, I apologized."

"No, I apologize." Benitez shook his head. "After returning from the game yesterday, I watched the video several times carefully from start to finish. I found that I was indeed conservative in my thinking. Our attack was quite good, on the contrary, there were some problems with the defense. If I was not so conservative before the game and just wanted to be prudent, maybe we would be able to win."

"I made another mistake in this game. Psychology is a part of competitive sports. I neglected to pay attention to your psychology. This caused you to make trouble in the locker room, which resulted in the failure of the game. Although the main reason is Your fault, but I am the cause."

His words surprised Zhao Yaning. It was not for his understanding. In fact, it was Zhao Yaning's expectation that Benitez could have such an understanding. However, what surprised Zhao Yaning was that his explanation for this matter turned out to be a tactical study...

"I think I may have overlooked your opinions too much." Benitez said, "I don't have much contact with you. There is nothing to talk about except football. This makes me ignore. Your thoughts, your will. However, you are also human beings. It is normal to have your own thoughts, and it is normal to conflict with my thoughts."

"So, do you want to interact with us more and deepen the connection with the players?" Zhao Yaning speculated.

"No, there is no such thing, you think too much." Benitez shook his head immediately, "I can't adapt to your life. The private relationship will only make the players disrespect the coach. I don't think it is necessary. ."

This caused Zhao Yaning to roll his eyes, which was what worried him most.

"Coach, I think you should have more exchanges with the team members." Zhao Yaning opened his mouth. "I think Liverpool can become strong and united in unity, which is unmatched.

Because of tactical reasons, but more because of our hard work. Each of us is willing to play for the sake of our team's friendliness, because we treat our teammates as friends. We don’t play football for money or fame. We play football for not letting our friends down, not letting our teammates feel sad, and letting everyone around us enjoy the fun of football. This is our powerful ultimate motivation. I don't know what the mental power of football is, but I know what we are playing for. But, coach, with all due respect, you didn't give us such motivation. The reason why we will resist you is because we want to make our friends happy, and you are not regarded as friends by us. "

"I'm sorry to hear you say that."

"What you should feel is not regret, but think about how to remedy it." Zhao Yaning said, "The players respect the coach, they respect the coach's ability, not the sense of mystery. In fact, we all respect you, you have let us I have seen your outstanding ability, but we hope that our coach is a respectable elder, rather than an amazing robot."

"This is what you said as the leader of the team. I'll just think about it."

The team leader? Zhao Yaning did not refute, he recognized this identity.

"Speaking of communication, there is one thing I want to ask clearly." Zhao Yaning still couldn't help but said, "Do you really think I am the best player? If it is true, why do you want to sell? Me?"

This is his biggest grudge, and it is also the thing he wants to understand the most.

"Joy, at that time, the offer was Real Madrid. And you are the most likely person to win the Ballon d'Or this year. Real Madrid buys a football player. Has anyone refused? I must consider the possibility of your transfer. I must make an early decision. ready."

"I said at the time that I didn't want to leave, you kept saying that it doesn't matter if I transfer!"

"I want to know what you really think. Whether it is me or the Liverpool club, I have been told not to go by this kind of talk, and then secretly dealt with other clubs. I have to consider the possibility of you deceiving me. "

"You don't want to trust me once? Or, even if you don't trust me, don't you want to keep me?"

"Real Madrid's salary is high, the reputation is great, the treatment is good, you will not die in the youth training of the club, and there is no emotional foundation with the team, not to mention those things are not very reliable... In this case, how can I trust you or Keep you?"

Zhao Yaning shook his head, "Coach, what I value is the friendship between me and my friends here, these people, not what the name of this team is. Here I am, I know how successful this team was last season. It's not easy. I know we can do better. I know they can deserve more honors. I am willing to enjoy football with them. What is more important than these things?"

"Coach, I hope you trust me, there are some things that are more meaningful than fame and fortune."——

After saying these words, Zhao Yaning felt a lot more comfortable. He didn't ask for much, as long as the coach wanted to sell him for reasons other than dislike him.

After returning home, Zhao Yaning remembered that he still had a card.

After fighting Terry, Terry gave him a pickup. As the Chelsea captain, maybe it is to increase influence. Last night, because he was depressed, he didn't enter the system, but now it's okay to see what the card is.

After entering the system, Zhao Yaning looked at the card and couldn't help being dumbfounded, wanting to curse.

‘You got the black card ‘Chairman’, influence 5, professionalism -3.’

There is even such a black card? Zhao Yaning looked at the card, and sure enough, the black cards were all introduced.

‘In the legendary Chelsea at a certain period of time, those who speak English dare not use it, those who speak French can’t use it, those who speak Portuguese alternately use it and those who speak Spanish sit on the bench. In this team, from the appointment and dismissal of coaches to the list of matches, everything is really determined except for the boss, which is the legendary team committee. ’

The team committee, chairman... these words made Zhao Yaning smile again and again. And the usage of the four languages ​​of English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, think about it-Lampard and Terry speak English, absolute main force, Drogba, Essien, Makelele, Gala speak French, absolutely main force, Ka Valio, Ferreira speaks Portuguese, and is often questioned. The one who speaks Spanish is obviously the hapless Crespo Argentine.

In this case, ~www.ltnovel.com~ made Zhao Yaning a little helpless. He just threw the card aside and exited the system.

At this time, he suddenly received a call from Yaya Toure.

"Have you heard?" On the other end of the phone, Yaya Toure's voice was a little frustrated, "A big deal has happened in Monaco. Coach Deschamps is over!" —

ps: Some people say that if the team is going to sell, they should throw their sleeves away, and they can mix anywhere. Indeed, this is true. But the question is, as mentioned in the text, how many of the character stars have become club celebrities? With the club, with teammates, and with the coach, if you are awkward and throw your sleeves away, it is Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo, but he will definitely not be regarded as a club legend by a certain club fan. Zanetti, Giggs, and Puyol have all been on the team's trading list, but their choices made them legendary. Of course, a person does not have to chase the ball to become a legend, but is it necessary to run for the goal of a football prostitute?

In addition, why the protagonist is willing to stay in Liverpool, but did not say to stay in Monaco: in Monaco, the season is not over yet, everyone is starting to prepare to go their separate ways. In Liverpool, at the end of the season, almost all of the team stayed. The people of the team are worth cherishing more than the name of the team.
