Fame with a ball

There is a saying widely circulated in world football: the success or failure of a team depends on their coaches, and the success or failure of coaches depends on their character.

Throughout the world of football, there are some head coaches who are weak in personality. They use whoever the club buys. As long as there is no fight in the locker room, he doesn’t care about anything. It is difficult to succeed, and the most famous one is Ranieri, his coaching talent amazed the world, and he is good at saving the team from crisis, but because he is too kind, he is always used by major teams. Lose it when it's over, and often lose your job.

The reason is that the club executives always like to dictate to the team, and the big-name stars in the locker room often have their own ideas. If the head coach is too weak, it is easy to cause two or three power concentration points in the team. When it comes to the game, the players don't know who to listen to, and everyone does their own thing. How can the results improve?Therefore, most of the coaches who can get into the position of gold medal coach are not good at it, and each has its own personality characteristics.

Although Professor Wenger is also known for his gentle personality, his gentleness only means that he treats people politely. Wenger is very assertive in coaching and managing the team. At least half of Arsenal's transfer rights are in the hands of In his hands, he has supreme control over the team. Similarly, there is Ferguson, who is also a master who will obediently pay for any club he wants to buy.

In addition, there is Mourinho, who is arrogant and extreme, and if there is a disagreement with the club, it will be a big deal. You will die and die; the discipline of the team management is strict, and every player is like Lippi of the parts of the machine; he is competitive. Scolari; the witty and smooth Ancelotti who is good at handling conflicts; of course, there is also Capello who regards performance as everything and does not know how to adapt...

Although the personalities of famous coaches have their own characteristics, they also have the same thing - like to maintain absolute control over the locker room, like to focus on the future, like the stable development of the team's performance, rather than aimless emptiness swell.

Head coaches are generally not as fond of job-hopping as players are. Stars may change clubs in three years if they are diligent in order to develop their personal careers. It is possible, which also makes them often focus on the future when looking at problems, and consider more about the sustainable development of the club in the future for many years.

In Capello's view, the current Juventus is a bit like walking a tightrope: Although Lin Zhigao's existence has given Juventus an incomparable offensive efficiency, the team's over-reliance on him not only caused Lin Zhigao On the field, other players didn't know how to attack. Even because the team played more offensive football, the defensive characteristics that the Bianconeri were proud of were not as obvious as before.

After the 36th round of Serie A, from the media to the fans, there was quite a debate about this game.Some people believe that there is something wrong in the Juventus locker room. Capello deliberately put Lin Zhigao on the bench to "cold". Some people think that Capello is far-sighted and is trying to configure the team The new lineup changed Juventus' "Lin Zhigao addiction".Only a few people think that this game is simply for the main team to take a rotation rest before the big game.

To talk about Capello's own true thoughts, he didn't think it through at the beginning. He just wanted to try a new lineup while letting the team rest in rotation, so as to cultivate a whole set of substitute lineups to deal with the third-line battle next season. situation only.But with the development of the game, he gradually realized that something was wrong-now this team really relies too much on Lin Zhigao, it seems that without him, others don't know how to score goals same.

This is why Capello stood on the sidelines and constantly adjusted the tactics of the game, but it was a pity that it failed to bear fruit for a long time.In the second half, when the fans collectively chanted Lin Zhigao's name, this not only failed to impress Capello, but made the suspicious coach feel more crisis-the fans' excessive admiration for the individual star was not only for the team coach A serious challenge that might even create a new "locker room bully"!

……

What is a ball bully?

It doesn't mean that people who like to fight, have conflicts with others, and act violently in the game are ball bullies. Such people are more often called "bad boys".Most of the ball bullies are also the leaders of the locker room. Some of them are not vulgar, and they don’t look like sloppy faces. They are even elegant and gentle in the eyes of the fans. Because there is always a kind of "dominance" in their actions. In layman's terms, they like to impose their will on the team.

What is the biggest characteristic of the ball bully?Divide the head coach's power in the locker room.

For example, in a game, the head coach said "we will play this way".He has his own ideas as a ball tyrant. He said, "Boss, this is wrong. Our tactics should be like that."If the head coach is a person with a little temper, he will definitely not let the players pull his nose away, so he insists on his own tactics, and the players are also very persistent. He even drags other players in the locker room to protest to the head coach , or more viciously, the ball tyrant has a personal relationship with the club chairman, and he went directly to the chairman and said, "Hey sir, the current head coach of the team is unqualified in my opinion"... Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic have done this before.

This is exactly what Capello can't tolerate the most. To be honest, he is a bit of a power freak and can't stand players in the locker room who don't listen to him.

Will Lin Zhigao become a ball master?Capello doesn't know.

According to Capello's current observation of Lin Zhigao, he feels that the other party will not do it. Lin Zhigao does not seem to be a person who is very keen on power.But the reason why he can't say for sure is because people will always change... So many lovers who turned against Capello later, didn't their relationship with him at the beginning seem to be like honey?

How to avoid the worst situation from happening?To have a sincere heart-to-heart talk with Lin Zhigao and say "Lin, I hope you don't want to be a ball bully" is a simple way, but it is not Capello's style. He has never done this.

So a good way Capello found is: finish the season first, and then ask the club to buy one or two more powerful strikers in the summer, so that he can design a more reasonable strategy for the team next season , not only divided up Lin Zhigao's power (let the forwards compete for posts), but also liberated Lin Zhigao (it is unscientific to throw most of the burden on Lin Zhigao alone, what if he is overwhelmed? Capello I think I still care about him very much).

Anyway, Juventus has won so many championships in the past two seasons, and the TV broadcast fee alone has been divided into tens of millions of euros. There is no shortage of money at all, is it?

The more Capello thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, but he was too self-indulgent, and accidentally forgot one thing, that is...to discuss this matter with someone in advance.

……

In the 13th round of Serie A in the 14-37 season, Juventus challenged Pescara away.

From the looks of it, this game was a no-brainer.

Among the current Serie A teams, there are very few teams that can pose a threat to Juventus. The Milan duo can be regarded as evenly matched enemies. Traditional teams such as Naples, Lazio, and Rome are also contenders. Goals not wins), with a team like Pescara on the fringes of the relegation zone, most people think "lose to Juventus? Oh, normal. Win/draw Juventus? Oh God !"

However, because of Chievo's lessons in the last league game, most fans still watched the game with an uneasy heart-even Chievo even tied Juventus. It would be terrible if something unexpected happened in this game. What to do.

In the last round of the league, there were fans holding the slogan "Juventus won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule!" to watch the game, but this time, most of them carried a small bag with them, and very low-key will "celebrate Juventus!" Win the championship in advance!" The flag was stuffed in, ready to take it out after the game is over.

At the beginning of the game, the Juventinis took a reassurance-Lin Zhigao appeared in the starting lineup.

Fans who were extremely excited by this stimulus broke out the first wave of cheers completely dominated by away fans in Pescara's home stadium Adriatico.

These fans who celebrated Lin Zhigao's entry with loud voices at the beginning soon regretted it, because they found that if they exhausted their whole body strength at the beginning, God, what would happen to the next cheers!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

Another wave of magic sound pierced through the brain, and the fans who sat in front of the TV and felt their heads hurt from the sound could not help but mutter and complain: "This old man's temper is really getting stronger the more he practices."

For Juventini, this complaint was extremely sweet.

On the TV screen, Lin Zhigao did not make any eye-catching celebrations after scoring the goal. He just raised his right fist to the sky and then turned and ran back to help defend. They smiled and hugged each other.

"Lin scored a goal for Juventus in the first 5 minutes of the game! After a short rest in the last round of the league, he is really fighting spirit!"

"Lin's scrambling again...he breaks the ball off Mongoni's feet...go! go! Oh he's done it again!"

"A header! It's a pity that the angle was too straight, and it was saved by Pescara goalkeeper Pinner..."

"However, looking at Pinner's painful expression, the strength of this header must be quite strong. Ha, Lin Zhigao's strong right foot is enough to hit the goal. It is characteristic enough. I didn't expect him to play headers, and he has such a distinctive personality—— The strength makes the goalkeeper despair!"

"Oh oh, Lin's big foot made a clearance, and he kicked the ball out of the sideline with a standard scorpion tail swing!"

"Lin—!" Before the first half was halfway through, there was another prolonged roar from the commentary booth.

"The 38th league goal!"

"An upside-down golden hook! Pescara's entire defense has no counterattack power!"

"What exactly does Lin want to do in this game, put on a performance show with various goals?"

"I don't want to talk about what record Lin broke again, and what kind of surprise he created for us, because I suddenly realized just now that I'm a little short of words!"

"Over the past year or so, I have really devoted all my brain cells to how to explain the Juventus game. In order to enrich my vocabulary, I even bought several dictionaries, which are more than one foot in stack. High!" The Italian commentator laughed self-deprecatingly: "My colleagues asked me, 'Are you inseparable from that amazing Chinese kid? You have to mention him every three sentences in your game commentary.' "

"Some extreme Italian fans call me 'too Chinese', but I have to defend myself, I very much hope that more and more talented Italian players will qualify in the league. But who makes our current Serie A The most shining star in the league is Lin? I don’t deliberately favor any country. To be honest, I don’t even know a little bit of Chinese culture. My passion is only for the purest and highest level of football. You can’t wrong me ..."

When the game ended with a few minutes left, the commentator whose voice had become hoarse due to excessive screaming: "Then, let me announce in advance at this moment: the champion of the 2013-2014 Serie A season is——"

"Juventus!" Hundreds of millions of Juventini yelled in unison across the space.

Echoing them from a distance is the huge air wave at the Adriatico Stadium that can almost blow people into space.

……

A few days before the Champions League final.

London, England.

Inside Selhurst Park, the Crystal Palace fans shouted a man's name in unison: "Neil Warnock! Neil Warnock! Neil Warnock!"

They will be so excited because in the just-concluded last round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace defeated their opponent Nottingham Forest with a score of 3:1, successfully squeezed into the top three of the English Championship standings, and can be directly promoted to the next season. The Premier League is up!

And the creator of all this is the team's head coach Neil Warnock!

The arrival of Neil Warnock two years ago saved Crystal Palace, which was hovering in the relegation zone of the British Championship. He spent two years building a brand new team. Now they dominate the British Championship, even if it is next season Going to the Premier League, Crystal Palace fans dared to pat their chests and proudly said: "We will be able to compete against a team like Chelsea!"

"The Premier League! We can go to the Premier League next season!" The team's assistant coach couldn't help but look at Neil Warnock excitedly: "Thank you, Neil! Without you, I would never have I can't even dream that I'm going to be the manager of a Premier League team!"

Neil Warnock also had a smile on his face, but he didn't get carried away with excitement. On the contrary, he looked at his watch every few minutes, looking like he was in a hurry.

When the fans in the stands cheered enough, everyone began to leave the field, and when the players went to the mixed zone to be interviewed by reporters, Neil Warnock finally couldn't help but said to the assistant coach: "Hank, you will be in the press conference later." Help me to participate, I will not eat the celebration banquet at night, you explain to the players and the owner for me, my flight will take off in more than half an hour, I have to go."

Hank asked in surprise, "Catch the flight? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet someone in Portugal." Neil Warnock couldn't help looking at his watch again: "Watch a game by the way."

"Who are you seeing?" Hank was even more puzzled.

Neil Warnock had already turned around and started running towards the exit, his last words wafting in the air: "The most promising apprentice I have ever taught in my life."

The most promising apprentice...

After recalling Neil Warnock's coaching experience in his mind, Hanke couldn't help but grow his mouth.

……

The other side of London.

Madame Rebecca Bovary had just received a letter from the postman, and she was walking upstairs while muttering, "Who wrote to me, a lonely old woman?"

She didn't think it was written by her son who had settled in other places. Now, who would write to others under the age of 40?It's either text messages or emails. Madame Bovary doesn't like these new gadgets at all.

Before opening the letter, Madame Bovary had a little fantasy, could it be some old friend she hadn't contacted for decades?

But when the letter was opened, she immediately froze.

The letter contained two round-trip air tickets to Lisbon, Portugal, two tickets to the Stadium of Light, and two stay checks at the Holiday Inn.

There was also an autograph card that said: Hey, Rebecca, call a handsome old man to watch my game! —— Lin Zhigao.

Seeing this crooked English sentence, Madame Bovary laughed immediately: "This little bastard, you said you will call me Madame Bovary!"

But immediately, Madame Bovary's mind was ignited—she definitely wanted to watch Lin's match, but wouldn't it be too wasteful to use up two tickets for one person?If I need a companion...whom?

Are you going to call Jack?

When she thought of the football-obsessed widower in her 60s who lived next door to her, Madame Bovary felt a youthful and sweet feeling, as if she was 16 again.

As soon as she said it, Madame Bovary quickly decided to burn her youth while she was still alive.

She turned and went downstairs, shouting towards the door as she walked:

"Jack! Jack!" (Brain echo: Meat shreds! Meat shreds!)

……

It's still London.

A die-hard Queens Park Rangers fan, Old Sean, who drives a taxi for a living, also received a letter today, and it was a letter that made him so excited that he was about to die-because of the content in it.

"Old York!" Old Sean quickly found his good friend York, and he proudly gestured at him with the ticket in his hand, showing off, "Guess what's in it?"

What Old Sean didn't expect was that Old York was also holding the same thing in his hand, with the same excited expression on his face.

The two old buddies looked at each other and smiled.

"I didn't expect Lin to still remember us after such a long time!" Old Xiao En said with emotion.

"I just said that he is a good boy who misses the past." Speaking of this, Old York couldn't help puffing out his chest: "We have never forgotten him, you know, in the team song made by my son, there is It still bears Lin's name!"

Shanghai, China.

Lu Zhiya, a fan who had been a netizen with Lin Zhigao for a short time and became a diehard Lin Zhigao fan for a long time, also received an international package from Italy.

When he opened the package with a puzzled expression and saw the contents, Lu Zhiya suddenly fainted without warning.

In different spaces at the same time, such things have happened many times. Although the value of each package is only a drop in the bucket to Lin Zhigao, I believe that this surprise will be unforgettable for all those who receive the gift.
