Mister Legend

Chapter 617

The head coach, English is Head Coach, that is, the head of the coach, and the word Coach originally means a carriage in English, that is, it can help other people reach their destination.In addition, the International Coach Federation defines the position of a coach as: "Through professional training, listen, observe, and customize methods according to the individual needs of the client, to stimulate the client's ability to seek solutions and countermeasures. The duty of the coach is to provide support to augment the skills, resources and creativity the client already has."

That is to say, the coach is actually a humanoid tool. Specifically, in the sports circle, it can be regarded as a kind of existence like a teacher, and the head coach is basically equivalent to the head teacher.It's just that players are far more mobile than students, so they are not as respected as "engineers of human souls" in terms of status and emotional ties.

If the focus is on the football head coach, then first of all, let’s introduce its general scope of work. Generally speaking, the things that a first-team coach of a professional team needs to do can be roughly divided into responsible training plan The formulation and supervision of the game and the command of the game are two parts. It turns out that most of the national leagues have defined Coach for decades.

However, after the establishment of the Premier League, the term Manager, that is, the team manager, has become a phenomenon that has attracted widespread attention in European football. The super role of this type of superpower represented by Ferguson Ferguson not only has the above-mentioned traditional themes All the functions of the coach, and also the transfer power controlled by the football director in the past, has become the envy and hatred of all colleagues.This unconventional policy has also helped England attract many outstanding international coaches, and it is one of the key factors to help them improve their level and gradually grow into the world's first league.

Fortunately, with the integration of Europe and the passage of time, several other major leagues such as Spain, Italy, and Germany have also accepted this new setting. At that time, they were granted certain powers in transfer matters, which can be regarded as completely expanding the work of the team head coach to these three items.

Of course, when it comes to specific details, it will be more complicated. According to the settings given by the FM system (or football manager game), the head coach's abilities are divided into: offense, defense, physical fitness, goalkeeper, tactics, technology, Psychological training, youth training, adaptability, willpower, player knowledge, youth knowledge, disciplinary requirements, personnel management, motivation, judging player ability and judging player potential, etc., although it is still unable to fully demonstrate the scope of work of this position, But it can be regarded as inseparable.

After more than ten years of growth, Li Mudi, who had a very good foundation in the past, had already cultivated his ability to a historical level when he ascended to the throne of the world's number one coach.Offensive, tactical, technical and other training values ​​have reached the full value of 20 points, and the characteristics of being good at mobilizing//teaching young people also make him outstanding in youth training, youth knowledge, judging player ability and judging player potential If it is lower than 19, it can be said to be NO.1.

But no one is perfect. This Real Madrid coach, who has already been included in the ranks of world football legends by many people, still cannot meet the top standards in handling interpersonal relationships. Even the excellent level is brought about by the results of leading the team. The halo is barely enough, which can be seen from his disciplinary requirements and personnel management ability that have experienced a decline in values ​​​​in the past two years.

Although after a long period of training, the dull otaku in his previous life has become more cheerful after a 180-degree reversal in the external environment. At least he will not be so nervous when facing reporters and some strangers. Now I have a stuttering problem, but from the bottom of my heart, Li Moody is still not willing to communicate too much with other people except family and friends. This is an innate nature, and it is estimated that no matter how many times he is reborn, it is difficult to happen Big changes.

This makes Li Moody always act as a decision-maker during his coaching process even if he has obtained the power of transfer, and has never personally participated in the specific matters of bargaining with other clubs and negotiating contract renewals with players Among them, and he was able to give the highest level of trust to the three partners of Valentino Cairo, Raul Sanllehi and Hierro, so that the high-level civil strife that often appeared in other clubs did not occur during his coaching period. Coming to the team, it can be regarded as his own understanding of the "inaction" thought in the "Tao Te Ching".

But in reality, conflicts between people are almost everywhere. No matter how lucky you are, you cannot escape some normal competition or even conflict.A large part of the reason why Li Mudi did not encounter similar situations before was that when he took charge of Turin and Arsenal, the two teams were just in the middle of a trough. The attribute of unity has greatly reduced the occurrence of various frictions within the team, and helped the team coach avoid areas that he is not good at handling.

However, when the team reached its peak, it often ushered in a period when the backlog of conflicts broke out completely. At this time, Li Mudi happened to choose to leave, so he never experienced the suspected outbreak of mutual conflict in the team. A situation of resistance and even infighting.Fortunately, the locker room at the Bernabeu still "made up for this lesson" for him, making their coach's coaching career finally "complete".

The locker rooms of several giants have always been the hardest-hit areas full of factions. This is no longer a new thing that attracts everyone's attention in European football. Among them, there are the most numerous jokes with Real Madrid and Barcelona as the background of the two Western Super League members. Almost every year A few pieces of news about exclusion and confrontation broke out.

In addition to the "Spanish Gang", "Brazilian Gang", "Argentine Gang", "Portuguese Gang" and "French Gang" divided by nationality, Galaxy Battleship also has a "Galaxy Gang" formed according to the player's close relationship or previously played in the same league. The Premier League Gang", "Anti-Muslim Gang", "Pro-Barcelona Gang" and so on, seem to be a small arena whose degree of chaos is comparable to that in Chinese martial arts novels.

Many of these rumors are speculative, but some of them are indeed based on facts. At least in the current Real Madrid formation, there are two major forces, the "local gang" and the "foreign gang", and there are some other people. The "neutral camp" formed the most classic and common way of dividing factions.

However, this state will appear in all clubs, so under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about the unity of the team, but once there is a special event that can play a fuse effect, the situation will change It developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Due to the double requirements and advantages of the wealthy teams in terms of finance and overall strength, their teams will inevitably be filled with a large number of high-level foreign players, thus laying a firm foundation for the formation of gangs in the locker room.

As for Real Madrid, after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus angrily in 2018, experienced veterans such as Modric, Benzema and Bale left the team one after another. The team was relatively stable due to the existence of the president before. The situation of the situation has finally returned to the early confrontation period when Casillas was still there, which just confirmed the old saying of the Celestial Dynasty that the world will be divided for a long time, and the long-term unity must be divided.

However, after Ramos, the team's previous generation boss, abdicated, Guti's men had no qualified leaders who could stand up and unite the team. As mentioned before, Asensio and Mbappe The two players with outstanding skills are not suitable candidates for the commander in terms of personality, but their ambitions (in this case, a neutral term that is biased toward praise) and fighting spirit are extremely strong, which has caused the two sides to compete for the team's top card. Fame and the right to speak in the locker room formed an opposing posture.

This kind of confrontation cannot be said to be completely positive in most cases, but at least it will not bring any harm to the team. If some coaches who are good at planning are eager to completely bring the locker room into their own control On the contrary, it can be used to achieve personal goals.But for Li Moody, who has no idea in this regard, as long as he can maintain a stable team atmosphere, he will not and does not want to make any moves. Peace and harmony is his ideal state in the team.

It’s just obvious that this wish was completely destroyed in a series of reactions caused by the failure of the contract renewal negotiations. Even though the majority of players in the team maintained neutral restraint, the gap between the two core players still remained. It has brought an immeasurable impact on the team's preparations, and the team coach who has never liked "nosy" has to show a wave of existence.

"Stop it all! Do you know what just happened? I saw a bunch of dog//poop on the Real Madrid first team training ground. If I hadn't just pinched myself and felt pain, I would have doubted it Are you dreaming?"

"Should I ask Harvey (referring to assistant coach Platts) to pull up the replay and show you guys? I don't know what it's like, but I'm sick as hell right now and I don't have any appetite to go to lunch. gone."

"This shit was kicked by a Real Madrid player! Are you kidding me? I thought I would never see this scene, but some of you really disappointed me. Here I want to remind everyone, In the first training session after taking over the team last year, I expressed my position that if I can't guarantee my full dedication in daily training, then he will completely disappear from my game list."

"I don't want to say that I'm sorry for the fans or the club. If you don't want to report to Castilla next door in the next three months, you have to think about it. I can I'll give you a chance, after the lunch break, it's still the same tactical exercise, I hope you can give me a reason to continue to trust you. Marko, Killian, and a few others, do you understand?"

This was the first time since his return to Madrid that Li Moody showed such a violent side in public, which stunned everyone present.This is not to say that everyone has never seen the coach lose his temper, but that it formed too strong a contrast with the team coach's previous good-natured personality, which made it difficult for people to adapt for a while.

However, these few warnings were accepted verbatim by the parties involved, especially the two core figures Asensio and Mbappe, who had gloomy faces and did not respond for some reason. But the flickering eyes still showed that their respective mental states would never be calm.

Finally, under the intervention of Platts, the morning training session ended half an hour earlier. The players who maintained a neutral attitude during this incident did not leave, but chose to come to the equipment room on the side for personal extra training , At the same time, it also leaves enough space for the two big brothers to find the next solution.

During the subsequent lunch period, it was also as quiet as when a storm was approaching. The cafeteria, which was always full of laughter and laughter in the past, seemed like everyone had been ordered dumb, especially the coaching staff did not leave. Before, the atmosphere was almost suffocating to death.

Fortunately, after the training started in the afternoon, the cooperation between the players has improved significantly compared to two and a half hours ago. Although it has not recovered to the best state, the momentum is indeed showing a better and better trend .It's just that on Li Mudi's icy face, everyone has never been able to see a sign of thawing. The only thing that can make the players feel a little bit at ease is that the various non-technical stops in the tactical drill in the morning were not very normal. Appeared.

It's just that the 18-man roster announced on the official website in the evening still exposed the attitude of the Real Madrid coach. Several generals including Asensio, Odriozola, Vallejo, Mbappe, Valverde and Rodrygo all appeared. Unexpectedly, the outside world was excluded, and immediately aroused an uproar.

Some low-level media immediately released rumors of a large-scale conflict between the Real Madrid generals on the Internet, defrauding countless fans of clicks and comments, and the efforts of several well-known reporters to immediately obtain the right to interview the parties were temporarily blocked. Without receiving any rewards, this kind of state similar to silence will naturally arouse the imagination of many people.

And all the problems have been accumulated until the pre-match press conference the next day, and finally there is an opportunity for a big explosion. The multi-purpose hall of the Bernabéu stadium is full of reporters from all over Europe. I learned from my mouth what the whole story was about.

Later, according to statistics, the live broadcast of this press conference on the Internet actually gained an astonishing ratings. For a while, the attention of the Madrid Derby even overshadowed the important annual economic meeting of the European Union held at the same time, becoming the weekly news conference. The most eye-catching focus of the day.
