Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 339
After resigning from Dalian Dongfang, Xu Genbao switched to Yunjiatianyu, his arch-rival, which was news in itself. After going to Yunjiatianyu, he did not become the head coach but became the principal of the football school. In fact, he was directly away from the first-line football. is a piece of news.

Although Xu Genbao is already in his fifties, there are no shortage of examples in world football where he is still a front-line coach at the age of 70 or 20, and Xu Genbao, who was born as a player, has always been in good health. There is no problem, and with his reputation, it is very easy to find a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, whether in A or B, but he accepted the [-] offered by Pei Wei. Compared with a professional coach Very meager annual salary... All the reporters are lamenting that as soon as Pei Wei returns to China, there will be big news.

However, Pei Wei did not consciously provide more materials for the reporters. After holding this brief press conference, he left the conference site and went to the training ground to watch the players' training.

For the first time in the past two months, the boss came to the sidelines to watch the training. The players were more motivated, and the training attitude was suddenly more serious than before, which made Benitez a little angry. I still admire the prestige among the players.

"These boys have become more active after seeing you on the sidelines." Benitez said with a smile after returning to the office with Pei Wei after training: "It seems that you still have to come to the sidelines of the training field more often in the future. That way the effect of the training will be improved a bit.”

"That's right, don't look at who I am—the person who pays them, can they not risk their lives with me?" Pei Wei was proud for a while, and then frowned: "But when this happens I'm not too happy - it shows our players haven't figured it out - they're not playing for me, they're playing for themselves, for every penny they're earning. "

"Is your request too high?" Benitez frowned and said, "Even in Europe, not every player can do this. There are many examples of rapid fame and then immediate decline. People are lazy, after all, there are only a few who can become a model of professional players."

"Maybe I am too demanding." Pei Wei shook his head: "Maybe we have won too many championships? The players have lost their pursuit? But they should know that winning championships is only a part of professional football. They should There are higher aspirations."

"What do you think their pursuit should be?" Benitez spread his hands: "They have won all the honors in Asia, the league championship, the cup championship, the Asian championship... Do you still want them to win the World Cup championship? ? And with their strength, they are still a bit short of wanting to play in the five major leagues."

"That's why I have a headache about this." Pei Wei sighed: "I have to find a way to keep these players passionate about football and eager to win... They are still very young, and for some reason they read There are not many books... If they lose their goals prematurely, then I am very worried about their future."

Benitez took a fixed look at Pei Wei, and suddenly smiled: "It's only now that I realize that I guessed wrong... After a long time, you are worried about their future, not their grades?"

"Scores are important, but if you don't win the championship in one year, you can come back next year, and the future of a player is related to his personal destiny. Maybe one step is wrong, what will be waiting for them? I hope it is not the last Bad result."

"A boss like you is really rare." Benitez shook his head with a sigh: "But...you are indeed a good boss."

Pei Wei responded with a smile: "Whether I am a good boss or not is another matter, but you are a good coach for sure... Unfortunately, this season will be your last season in Yunjiatianyu, you leave After that, I really don't know where to find another coach."

"I'm sorry... If possible, I even want to end my coaching career in Yunjiatianyu, but unfortunately, I still have ambitions to realize. If I always stay in Yunjiatianyu, my ideal will not be realized." Bei Nitus said apologetically.

"No need to say sorry, Rafael." Pei Wei smiled: "There is no banquet in the world... I am very satisfied to be your boss for three years. At least, you have brought us two leagues. Champion, a FA Cup champion, an Asian Cup Winners Cup champion and an Asian Club Cup champion... In Asia, there is basically no coach who has won so many important championship trophies. At that time, you were invited from Spain. It's my luck."

"That's my luck too." Benitez looked at Pei Wei and said suddenly.

Pei Wei laughed out loud.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
For the next three days, Pei Wei went to the sidelines of the training field to watch the players' training every day. Although he just stood far away, his appearance on the sidelines gave the players great encouragement. The training was completed quickly and quickly. good.

Two days before the start of the game, after training, before Benitez announced his dismissal, Pei Wei walked into the training ground.

The players all looked at Pei Wei who walked into the training ground with a smile on his face. Ailin and Zhu Guosheng were veteran players who had been in Yunjia Tianyu for almost six years. When interpreting with Benitez, Pei Wei entered the training ground to convey the coach's opinion to the players. Pei Wei has never stepped into the training ground as the boss, and even watched the training from afar. With his own performance, he perfectly fulfilled his promise to the two foreign coaches: "Never interfere with the coach's absolute authority in training and competition as a boss." Why did he walk into the training ground today, as if ready to come What to do.

Benitez blew his whistle, and the players immediately stood in a row in front of him. Pei Wei stood beside Benitez, and then smiled: "Everyone don't need to be so nervous, come, sit, all Sit down, I have something I want to talk to you all."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead to sit down on the lawn, regardless of the dust on the ground staining his clothes, Benitez smiled and sat down.

Now that the boss and the coach have sat down, the players have nothing to say, and they just sat down on the lawn one by one.

Put a mat in between, and then put some food, that is a picnic scene.

"Everyone is very serious about training these days. Although I am a layman, I can see that you have worked very hard in training and have completed the tasks assigned by the coach well... I am very satisfied with this." Pei Wei He said with a smile, of course, no one would take his so-called "layman" seriously. After all, among the owners of the 28 teams in China's A, A, and B teams, if Pei Wei said that he was an outsider in football, then no one would dare to say so. I am an expert.

"However, what I want to know is, when I didn't come to the training ground, did you train as seriously as you have these days?"

As soon as Pei Wei asked this question, the players immediately became a little restless. They naturally knew that their training attitude was much more serious than usual these days. What is the reason?Then there is no need to ask, the boss is not serious by the side, do you still want to do it.

"Boss, I have to apologize to you." Zhu Guosheng said loudly, "Usually we are not as serious in training as these days...at least I am not."

As soon as these words came out, many people scolded Zhu Guosheng in their stomachs: Why are you so honest?It's not that students face the teacher, you just say that you are as serious as usual, so it's fine!

But Zhu Guosheng has this personality. Although he has a bad temper, he seldom tells lies. This is one of his strengths.

Hearing this, Pei Wei smiled instead of anger: "To be honest, I like to hear that."

Hearing what the boss said, the players all breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the boss doesn't want to pursue this matter any further, but it's true, isn't it just training, it's enough to do well, as long as you play well on the field, isn't it the same.

Pei Wei bowed his hands to the players: "Thank you for treating me so highly and for giving me face... But, what I want to say is that your training is not for me, I just pay you salary to let you play for the club , What is training? Training is the only way to keep you on the court! I have never heard of an example where you can perform at your best level without training. As the saying goes, one minute on the stage and ten years off the stage If you don’t even train seriously, how can you show your level in the competition?”

He paused for a while, and then continued: "What do you play football for? To put it bluntly, playing football is your job. You earn income by selling your skills to support yourself and your family. From this point of view You are no different from people who do other jobs. Football, like other jobs, is a skill for earning a living. On a larger scale, if you play football well enough, you can represent your country in world competitions. Win glory for the country after getting good grades... This is another difference between football work and other jobs. I don't intend to let you play football desperately, but you have to understand one truth, that is, the ball is for You played football yourself, and your pursuit of football will never stop. Unless you retire, as long as you are still playing football, then you have to do everything related to playing football...even if you are on the board The pinnacle of the world, won the World Cup, but the boss will not pay you for nothing just because you are the world champion, and the fans will not cheer for you because you carry the title of world champion for two laps... unless Retired, have you seen any player who can rely on the World Cup championship for a lifetime after winning the World Cup?"

"You have to remember that playing football is for yourselves, not for others!" )
