Chapter 961

If August means a black door for Chinatown, the adjustment in September has brought hope to the team, but the bitter blow in October has put the team in crisis again.

Four league matches, three losses in a row, if not the last moment to beat the Spaniard, China city's morale will fall to the bottom.

Finally finished the La Liga, entered November, the team immediately ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group match, the opponent is the strongest Porto in the group, the game is held in the bullock stadium, which is a rare good opportunity for China City, if we can win Porto, it will undoubtedly lay the foundation for the situation of the group match.

There is no doubt that Porto will go all out to fight for the group qualification.

This is a game no one can afford to lose!

Since the beginning of this season, the morale of the Chinese city team is not ideal. Even in training, coach bochetino feels it incisively and vividly. He also knows clearly why the morale of the players is low.

At the end of the day, no one is willing to lose and accept defeat.

La Liga played 11 rounds, China City scored 16 points, ranking eighth in La Liga. This report card is not too bad for China City, but just last season, when the team played 11 rounds, it was still leading the La Liga League, and the gap was too big.

What's wrong with the team? How to solve the problem?

This has become a puzzle for the team.

Coach bochetino is also very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team, he has also carried out rotation and adjustment of the team.

For example, try to let the substitute after repeatedly excellent performance of ISCO starting, but the result after the first performance of ISCO is depressed, far less than the brilliant substitute.

He used debrouane to play in the middle, the effect is relatively general.

In the midfield position, ilia ramendi also began to rotate Marcos Senna gradually, showing a good performance.

Bochettino also tried to adjust tactics, played 4231, also let obamayan and Pelle formed a double forward, Azar back to play in the middle, but the effect is not ideal.

He knows that his team has encountered problems, and he vaguely knows what the problem is, but he has no time to stop and think about it, just like he did in pre-season training, preparing for the game slowly, adjusting and trying different tactics.

Busy schedule is like a whip, constantly beating on him, so that he had to drag Chinatown this poor carriage, continue to move forward, can not turn back.

Fortunately, the management has always firmly expressed their support for him. Not long ago, general manager Amando Marcos reiterated in an interview with the media after a meeting with Chinese enterprises that Chinatown will continue to support coach bochetino unconditionally.

"It's normal for the team to have ups and downs. We believe that we can overcome any problems we encounter

With the support from the management, bochettino doesn't have to worry about his position crisis, but in the face of the current situation of the team, he also has some difficulties.

He needs more time.

But what he needs most now is time.

This reminds him of a word that Gao Han once said to him.

"The most terrible opponent for a head coach is not the opponent on the field, but the pressure from all sides."

Bochetino is now deeply aware of the true meaning of this sentence.

China city's first season in La Liga was promotion. As long as the relegation was successful, everyone was happy. Even the media and fans were very satisfied. What's more, after ranking 10th, bochetino became famous.

The second season was the dark horse. After continuing the excellent performance of the previous season, he made a very good start and won the best start of the league. He led the Spanish league table and was once the most powerful contender for the championship. Although he lost some color in the second half, he finally kept the fourth place in the league and entered the Champions League.

This report card is also eye-catching and impeccable.

But after two seasons of excellent performance, this season's Chinatown has ushered in a downturn.

Mitch, Hames Rodriguez, aldereld and Otamendi, Chinatown sold the whole central axis in one summer. In addition, veteran Marcos Senna was too old. Ilia ramendi had to hold it up and change the whole central axis again and again. This is a great blow to Chinatown.

The strength of the team has been fluctuating, and the results have fluctuated. This season, the team has been hovering in the 80's and 90's rankings for a long time, and the performance has also declined obviously. Therefore, the pressure from all sides has begun to rush towards bochetino, including him, sometimes even making him unable to breathe.

Maybe Mr. Gao Han can help me find out.

Bochetino thought in his heart, because he knew that Gao Han had already reserved the air ticket to Madrid in advance.

According to the time, we should be able to see him after the training session in the morning.

…………

…………

When the training course is over and bochettino walks out of the training ground, what he is waiting for is not the expected cold, but the technical director cantarero. He has been waiting outside for some time, but bochettino has not noticed.

"Hello, Carlos." Pochetino said hello with a smile.

"Hello, Mauricio." Cantarello came up with a smile.

His smile is very natural, at least, more pleasing than pochetino.

"Why... You alone?" Asked pochetino curiously.

He thought he could see the cold, which they had made an appointment before. At noon, he would study the current situation of the team and how to solve the problem.

"Just now, I was temporarily informed by the high cold that something happened to him and he couldn't come."

"Is it?" Pochetino is a bit down.

"He asked me to give you two words."

Pochetino nodded, "you say."

"The first sentence is as the owner of the club. He said that he and the management will continue to support you unconditionally. I hope you don't have any pressure. The management absolutely trusts your coaching ability and believes that no matter what problems you encounter, you can find a proper solution."

Pochetino understood the weight of the word Alpine.

As long as China city is not relegated this season, it will not affect bochetino's position. This is absolutely the greatest trust and support for bochetino.

"Second, he said it as a senior."

Pochetino nodded solemnly and listened.

"He said, you are the head coach!"

Simple words, but let bochettino suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes to look at cantarello.

The technical director, however, had a firm look in his eyes, looking straight at bochettino without any hesitation.

"Here are some of my own words. I have worked with Gao Han for ten years. I have watched him grow from a nobody to the top manager in the world. I have witnessed that he has encountered numerous difficult problems and he has racked his brains to solve them."

"Sometimes I wonder how hard it is to be a coach? Guardiola has only been a couple of years. His hair is white, and so is that of Jose. If you look at the cold weather, do people in their thirties also have white hair? "

Bochettino listened in amazement. He understood the meaning of Gao Han and cantarello.

"We Chinatown are a very young team, the history of the club is very young, the team lineup is very young, the manager is also very young, so we have to work together and make progress together."

"The problems you are facing now, such as cold weather, Jose, Guardiola, Ferguson and so on. You will encounter them now, and you will encounter them in the future. It's not good to rely on others. You are the head coach of the team. You should shoulder this responsibility, and it's up to you to find the answer and find a proper way to solve the problem."

Bochetino asked himself that since he was in charge of Chinatown, alpine has really helped him a lot. Sometimes he even flew to Madrid overnight and then flew back early the next morning. This was the case when he was in Bayern Munich and Manchester City, and it was the same when he was in Paris Saint Germain.

He learned a lot from the high cold, but it also led him to rely on the high cold. When he encountered problems, he asked him for advice. On the contrary, he was lazy to think and find answers.

"Everyone said that the high cold is very accurate in judging people. No one is mediocre when it comes to the players he likes. No one is unsuccessful when it comes to the assistants and coaches he selects, such as emery, Guardiola, lopegi, Simone, klop, tuhel... And you."

"I believe you know better than anyone that this Chinatown is of great significance to alpine region and how much he attaches importance to this team. However, he did not choose to coach himself, but handed him over to you. He trusts you more than anyone else. He almost entrusts his most precious things to you. It can be seen that he is more optimistic about you than anyone else."

"So, if you doubt your ability, you are doubting the cold vision, understand?"

When bochetino heard this, he suddenly looked at the technical director in front of him. He even began to understand why Gao Han chose him as the technical director of Chinatown.

"Thank you for the reminder, Carlos." Pochetino nodded heavily. "I see. Please help me to thank Mr. Gao Han and you, too."

"You're welcome." Cantarello smiles and nods.

Cantarello breathed softly as he watched pochetino go upstairs.

What he said just now is not a lie to coax bochetino, but a word from the heart. He is just congratulating on one thing, that is, alpine began to learn to be a qualified manager.

In fact, he had decided to persuade him when the cold came. After all, as the owner of the club, he interfered too much in competitive affairs, which was not in line with the rules. This would lead to the management confusion of the team, and even affect the authority of the head coach.

How good was the friendship between van Gaal and Coleman?

Both of them worked in Ajax, one as the technical director and the other as the head coach. It should have been a match made in heaven, but the result was that van Gaal interfered too much in the team's affairs. At first, Koeman was able to accept it with an open mind, but after a long time, the contradiction between them became more and more obvious. Finally, they even broke up.

Therefore, no matter from the team management, or from the prevention of hidden dangers, alpine should not interfere too much in the team's competitive affairs, but should fully trust bochetino and the coaching staff, otherwise, a long time, there will be problems.

Cantarello is very happy, also very glad, alpine aware of the problem, cancelled this ticket to Madrid.

He and Gao are full of confidence and trust in bochettino. I believe bochettino and his coaching team will find a proper way to solve the problem.

If, with the sacrifice of a season's results, in exchange for bochetino's maturity and progress, it is also quite a cost-effective business.

After all, pochetino is only thirty-nine.
