Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 73 Meeting
"The boss won't fire us, will he?"

On the way back, Zhu Guosheng whispered to Aylin with some fear.

"No way, it's just a game." Ayrin was stunned for a moment: "Our performance this time was not good, but we have never heard of a player being fired for a bad performance in a game. Besides, is there another reason for us to be fired? Are you looking for someone to play? The entry list we submitted is only 22 people."

"Phew, that's good. I don't want to go back to the second team." Zhu Guosheng patted his chest. Almost every player who was promoted from the second team thought so. After getting a high salary, he appeared under the flashing lights The former second team members who enjoyed the opportunity and the psychological satisfaction brought by the cheers of the audience did not want to go back to the unknown second team.

However, there are exceptions...

"What are you afraid of? No matter what the boss does, the game still depends on us. It's too much, and it's just a bad performance in one game, as if we made a big mistake... There are 22 games in a season. We all won." Wang Yingjie said nonchalantly.

His words resonated with some players, yes, it doesn’t matter if you don’t perform well in one game, you can just win the next game.

To their surprise, after returning to the club and all the players sat down in the meeting room of the office building, it was not the boss Pei Wei who spoke first, but the coach Wenger.

"Tony, shot four times, hit once within the frame range, one-on-one success rate 30.00% Six, passed eleven times, succeeded five times. Yi Xiaofeng, shot six times, hit within the frame range None, one-on-one A success rate of 20.00% Seven, seven passes, three successes..."

Wenger said something above, and Pei Wei next to him translated it once, so the data of the players on the field were all told in detail, which made all the players dumbfounded-this foreigner has a good memory. Remembering these things?

"Your performance can be summed up in four words, three more and three less!" Wenger said sharply: "Three more means more forced shots, more individual performances, and more mistakes. Three less means less teamwork and less selflessness." , We played less rationally! In the last game, we didn’t have these problems. Although we made a lot of mistakes, it was also caused by tension and lack of cooperation! Now tell me, what made you play in just After a week it's literally a different team?"

No one speaks.

"Of course, any player will have fluctuations in status. Sometimes he shows that he can conquer a game alone, and sometimes he disappears on the court for 10 minutes... Generally, when this happens, I will not Blame this player because everyone has their highs and lows, it’s inevitable. But why do all eleven of you on the field suddenly go from high to low?”

Still no one speaks.

"Don't you know? Then let me tell you." Wenger waved his hand: "In the past seven days, you didn't put your mind on training at all, but indulged in the cheers of the fans and the flattery of the newspapers. ...these things are nice, but it's all based on you guys doing a good job on the court! Do you think the fans will like a team that has no fighting spirit and only plays tricks on the court ? No, what they like is a team that can bring them the joy of victory and cheer for a team that makes them feel worth the money spent on tickets...Look at today, how many people are there to greet you?"

"You have to remember that the cheers of the fans are only dedicated to the players who have performed well on the court. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that there is no fighting spirit and performance on the court. Sweating hard on the field - I can tolerate losing, but I can't tolerate your slack performance on the training ground."

"In the three days starting from tomorrow, the intensity of the training content will increase by 50.00%, and everyone must complete it smoothly with quality and quantity." Pei Wei translated Wenger's sentence, and then added a sentence himself: "If you have any complaints, you can If you think you can’t finish it, you can bring it up—I’ll arrange a new place for you—the reserve team.”

All the players immediately fell silent, no one dared to offend Pei Wei, the owner who usually seems to be very talkative, and when Haigeng was preparing for the new season, they also knew that their income was among the top in the A-B team, no one thought Leave this well-paid place and go to other teams.

"In addition, the rule of fans entering the field to watch during training will not change, but I will impose restrictions on them, that is, it cannot affect your training. You can treat fans as air, but after training, fans require You have to give autographs - at least ten autographs, that's the mission."

"In addition——" Pei Wei stretched his voice: "In the last game, 460 fans followed us to Hunan, but our performance made it worthless for them to spend the money, so we decided to do it for them. All the fans who go with the team to the away game will make up for the loss of 100 yuan - this money will be deducted from the appearance fee of the players who played in that game."

"No—" all the players objected in unison.

100 yuan per person, this is more than 4 close to 5 yuan, almost the sum of the appearance fees of all players in a game.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Pei Wei said firmly: "But if you perform well in the next game, the club will make up the money for you, so from today on, you have to train hard! "

The players were relieved to hear this, and it seems that there is still a chance of recovery.

"This is just a small punishment, not because you didn't win the game, but because of your attitude." Pei Wei said lightly: "For me, attitude is everything."

"You have to remember that football brings you honor and money, but you have to think about it because you play well. You have to use the most serious work whether it is training or competition. Do it in your best condition, so that you can continue to get money and honors... As I said, I will not care about you off the court, but when you come to the club from home, you must do it with the most professional attitude. Get involved in training and in games because it's your job, it's your profession."
