The next day, Liaocheng Moonlight Training Ground.

After the prescribed training, Mu Weiping called all the players together.

"Five days later, the team will usher in the last game of the season. Everyone knows the discipline of the team, but I still want to emphasize a few points. First, all players must respect the team leader, coaches and teammates. If there is a violation, they will be disqualified for training and competitions, or they will be directly expelled. Second, all players must take their daily training seriously. Those who cut corners will be severely punished by the team. Third, before the last game, the ball The team is still closed for training, drinking, gambling and going out privately are strictly prohibited. Fourth, no one is allowed to disclose the news of the team to the outside world without permission!"

"Especially the fourth one!" Mu Weiping emphasized, "I know that as players, you must have a lot of friends in the media. But everyone must have professionalism, what should be said and what should not be said, must be Count! Especially young players, you lack experience in dealing with reporters. When you are entangled by reporters, you must remember that it is better to say less than to say more, and it is better not to say less. Not only facing reporters, even in daily life, Be cautious too! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The player replied neatly.

Mu Weiping nodded. It seemed that the atmosphere of the team was pretty good before the last game.

Although he made special emphasis, Mu Weiping is actually not worried about the players being interviewed by reporters, because in the next few days, the team will be in an absolutely closed environment, and even mobile phones cannot be used.

What worries him is the rest of the offseason.During this period, the players will leave the team and return to the society. Reporters from various newspapers are all-pervasive. Even if the players refuse to be interviewed, ordinary words and deeds will be recorded by interested people, and then stabbed to the newspapers.

Perhaps the fourth prohibition is a little unkind, and it sounds a little too uptight.As a Super League team, they have to be so strict.You must know that all players are human beings. During a season, they will inevitably accumulate some negative emotions. Whether it is for the team or for teammates, it is inevitable that they will find an opportunity to complain.

But even if it is unintentional, distorted by the media, it may become a severe accusation against the team and teammates, which may cause conflicts within the team or hurt the feelings of fans.

What's more serious is that exposing the internal contradictions of the team will not only affect the unity of the team, but may also affect the team's transfer plan during the offseason.

Of course, letting players appear in public opinion as little as possible is not all based on the interests of the team.A professional player is a brand in person, and his image in the media will affect his commercial value.For a player whose fans dislike him, there will definitely be fewer merchants asking him to be an endorser, and even commercial activities in his personal name will be affected by this.

For example, if a notorious player opens a hot pot restaurant in his own name, no matter whether the taste is good or not, his reputation will be greatly discounted.

There is no shortage of players with big mouths in football, but as a team, it is not very desirable to have such players in the team.And not everyone can withstand the backlash of public opinion after talking loudly.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Mu Weiping then announced the end of the training.

Strangely, he shouted to disband, but the players did not disperse as usual, but continued to stay on the court.

"What?" Mu Weiping's heart skipped a beat.

The team is equivalent to a society, and any abnormality has to be worried.

"Haha, why did Mourinho forget? You haven't punished us yet." Ma Jun reminded.

Only then did Mu Weiping remember what happened last night, and he couldn't help feeling a little tricky.

Ma Jun and the others just violated the team discipline, and had already accepted Mu Weiping's punishment in terms of bonuses. At this time, they took the initiative to apply for corporal punishment. The attitude of admitting their mistakes can be said to be very sincere.At this time, using the strict corporal punishment measures in the past would make him appear inhumane.Therefore, Mu Weiping had no choice but to arrange a few more troublesome trainings for them to complete.

"Okay." Ma Jun agreed, making Mu Weiping feel unbearable again.

"Everyone heard, Mourinho is very kind, so don't feel resentful in your heart, and do it seriously!" Ma Jun turned around and greeted Kong Xiang and others.

Mu Weiping breathed a sigh of relief, and his opinion of Ma Jun changed a bit.Seriously speaking, this season when Mu Weiping led the team, Ma Jun was not too thorny in the team except for forming cliques.Judging from Ma Jun's attitude in the past two days, the veteran understands his difficulties more and more, and even said that he can't play for a few years and just wants to win a championship in the remaining days.

From this point of view, the decision to take Ma Jun from the main force next year and let him play a role player does not seem to have too many obstacles.

An old house where a treasure.Mu Weiping doesn't really dislike Ma Jun. Although it is an indisputable fact that Ma Jun's competitive level has declined, as long as he honestly does what a big brother should do in the team, Mu Weiping still hopes to be able to compete with Ma Jun. He continues to cooperate.

And the first thing a big brother has to do is to take the lead in maintaining the image of the head coach like this today.

So Mu Weiping is very pleased with Ma Jun's actions.When he returned to the office and made the team's next transfer plan with other coaches, he offered to let Ma Jun stay in the team.

"Selling Ma Jun now, after other teams pay the transfer fee, his salary will definitely be affected. And he is no longer young, it is difficult to adapt to a new team. Keeping him, on the one hand, can increase the team's lineup Thickness, on the other hand, his game experience and life experience will help young players grow." Mu Weiping said.

Others at the meeting were less than sympathetic, and some were delighted.When Mu Weiping came to Liaocheng Moonlight, he did not make major changes to the coaching staff, so many coaches have been with Ma Jun for several years, and there is still a foundation of relationship.

Only the assistant coach was a little worried: "Mourinho, from what you said, keeping Ma Jun is indeed beneficial to the team. But what I'm afraid of is that Ma Jun can't accept the gap between the main player and the substitute."

Mu Weiping frowned, this is indeed a hidden danger, and it is also the hidden danger he fears most.But recalling what he heard outside the door last night, Mu Weiping still made up his mind.

As long as Ma Jun doesn't stumble on the court, there is actually nothing to worry about.and……

"Fans like a humane team. Selling for no reason will chill fans and other players. Let's do this, while adjusting his role in the team, give him preferential treatment in other ways, so that fans and other players can see us Respect for Ma Jun. If it is really impossible to reconcile, next season will consider the issue of his transfer in the middle of the season."

The assistant coach thought about it and found that Mu Weiping's consideration was indeed more comprehensive.

In terms of performance, it is normal for players in professional clubs to use them when they can, and to replace them when they are not used.But for the fans, every player expresses their feelings, and some players even represent their youth.The club's right choice from a commercial point of view is actually very ruthless in their eyes.Even if it is the top team in the world, they will carefully handle the departure and retention of veterans.

And Ma Jun is not only a veteran in the team, but also a veteran who has a good relationship with many players. If Ma Jun is sent away, other players will inevitably have no complaints.Therefore, even the assistant coach who still has some worries in his heart has to reserve his opinion.

On the court, Ma Jun really set an example at this time, leading Kong Xiang and others to implement Mu Weiping's punishment project.

This brought some troubles to Lu Xiao.From time to time, like Lu Xiao, there were players who chose to practice extra after training.But players who choose to practice extra have their own arrangements and rarely bother others.

Ma Jun is different. From time to time, he asks Lu Xiao to help them pick up a ball, or asks Lu Xiao to count them for them.But for some reason, Lu Xiao couldn't refuse.

"Lu Xiao, you are the popular man in front of Mourinho. Mourinho is relieved of us old bones, and did not stay to supervise. But we old guys dare not do things willfully, please help, I want you to be a witness, wait When Mourinho asked, someone would speak for us, right?"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiao couldn't ignore it regardless of his feelings.He even suspected that after Mourinho announced the punishment project, he left it alone, just to give him a chance to get along with Ma Jun.

Did Mu Weiping want him to show affection to Ma Jun?Lu Xiao was not sure.

While he was hesitating, Ma Jun asked with trembling hands: "By the way, how many push-ups have I done?"

"82, there are only [-] left from [-]." Lu Xiao said.

Doing push-ups is also one of the punishments.

"You also know that there are only eighteen left!" Kong Xiang and others scolded, "Didn't you see that Big Brother Ma can't hold on? This is only one! Do you understand, boy!"

"Hey, shut up!" Ma Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Mourinho said to make a hundred, then we have to make a hundred, let alone one less, even half less!"

Ma Jun didn't say this to Lu Xiao in a sly way, he really wanted to do all these hundred push-ups.

The upper body training of football players generally goes to the end, but the intensity is not weak.Doing a hundred push-ups is easy for them.Even after a high-intensity training routine, it shouldn't feel overwhelming.

But Ma Jun really felt a little powerless.

really old?Ma Jun dare not admit it.

Sometimes he also regrets, if he was not so indulgent when he was young, he should be completely different at this time.But once those habits are formed, even if he intends to correct them, he cannot strictly enforce them.

And he has not passed the 30-year-old mark. Even if it is true that his physical function has declined, he does not feel that he has no strength to continue playing.He firmly believes that his game experience can make up for the decline in physical fitness. The reason why he cannot play high-profile performances is that the coach has made mistakes in his use methods.

The reason why Mu Weiping didn't seriously consider how to use him is because Mu Weiping's thoughts were all on young players.

Young players... After finally finishing the last push-up, Ma Jun rubbed his shoulders and looked at Lu Xiao with a faint smile.

Young players are both hope and disaster. They come aggressively, but they are rash and impulsive. If the team relies on them, they will suffer in the league sooner or later.

Ma Jun didn't want to disappoint the fans of the team, so he had to prevent young people like Lu Xiao from becoming the core of the team too early.

At least, he thought it was just to do so.
