Four Hundred and Five Mental Illness

"Everyone can talk freely, tell what you think, you can say anything, everything!"

At Melwood training and other places, in Yang Cheng's office, the door was locked, and there was only the coaching staff brought by Yang Cheng himself, and then Ian Rush and Liverpool's technical team were also involved.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng's office is not small, so it can accommodate these ten people for a meeting together.

Although Liverpool is at the bottom of the Amsterdam Cup, Yang Cheng can still withstand it with his reputation and status.

I remember when Liverpool just returned to the UK, a reporter immediately came over and asked, "Caesar, your team's performance is very disappointing, especially Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two players performed very well." Oops, would you consider taking them out of the starting lineup?"

Yang Cheng was originally in a good mood, but when he heard this, he immediately got angry and started to rant.

"I think your appearance is very disappointing. According to what you said, should I inform your mother Wen to make you look better before showing it to others?"

The reporter cursed like this, but smiled, "Thank you for your reply, Caesar!"

What a bastard, Yang Cheng's remarks were published in the newspapers the next day, hyping up Yang Cheng's lack of grace and so on. Newspapers across the UK began to follow suit, and even European talks began. Reports, such as Yang Cheng's huge pressure, Liverpool's mud can't hold up the wall, etc., all came out.

Yang Chenghe ignores the nonsense from the outside media, he only cares about the internal opinions of his team.

The warm-up match is over, and the new season is about to begin. The first game against Chelsea is the beginning of the new season. It is very important. Yang Cheng does not want to lose, so he needs to listen to the opinions of his assistants.

Looking around at everyone, no one opened. Yang Cheng laughed, "What's going on? If you have any questions, just ask, speak freely!"

"I think... Paul Bayer is the most familiar with Yang Cheng and has worked together for the longest time. When no one said anything, he started first." Robben and Ronaldinho obviously have problems with the cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt. . "

Yang Cheng nodded and made a continue gesture.

"According to what you said before, you want them to cut inside, but Robben seems very uncomfortable. He has no power on the right as he does on the left. On the left, at least he can break through and pass people. He has the speed and skills to get past people, so I think it would not be worth the gain to rush him to the right."

Yang Cheng applauded,

"Okay, let's continue, who else?"

"Cristiano, I have told you many times about Ronaldo's problem!" Moniz also said. .

"He can't pass people. If he can't get rid of his stickiness to the ball, I even think that he shouldn't have a foothold in the starting lineup at all. He will become the biggest obstacle to our frontcourt advancement. Against Ajax, Against Valencia, you saw him confused in both games!”

After a pause, Moniz continued: "Yang Cheng, we have been working together for many years. I know you are very good at judging people, but this time it is different. The guy refuses to listen. This is a matter of personality, and you It doesn’t matter if you have the ability to recognize people, you are right, he is talented and talented, but the problem is, there is something wrong with his character.”

Yang Cheng nodded again. Robben was very obedient. He did whatever Yang Cheng said he wanted to do. Therefore, the coaching staff did not have much opinion on him. The biggest contradiction was whether Robben should be on the left or on the left. On the right?

This is a discussion at the tactical level, but Ronaldinho's problem is more troublesome.

This kid has a strong local accent and speaks poor English. He has been dribbling the ball since he came to Liverpool. Yang Cheng has talked about him many times and mentioned him many, many times. In training, he talks to him almost every time. I scolded him all day, but a month passed and he made no progress.

If you tell him, he will just nod his head and not show off, but he will remain the same after that.

This reminded Yang Cheng of Denilson, but the problem was that the harm this guy caused was much more serious than Denilson.

Why does Moniz say he can't pass?

The reason is very simple. It’s not skills that make you better than others. Those who think that technology can make you better than others are all nonsense. No matter how many tricks you have and how many millions of bicycles you ride on, you can still bluff when you meet low-level players. The defender will kill you directly, and you won’t even think about passing through.

Therefore, "when Ronaldinho was in Asia, his performance was not very bad, but when it came to the Amsterdam Cup, he was completely overwhelmed, especially against Cooper, who is best at fighting back to press the defense. According to the statistics of the Liverpool technical team, In this game in Valencia, "Ronaldo's one-on-one success rate is amazing."

Ridiculous, right?

Ronaldinho, who was later called a fancy technical man by countless fans, couldn't get past anyone!

But that's the truth!

Real excellence actually does not require overly complex fancy techniques, it only requires two things, ball feel and pace frequency!

But these two are what Xiao Luo lacks.

Watching his stops, you will find that his first stop is always big, and then he gets lucky. If he can catch up, he will catch up. If he cannot catch up, he will lose the ball. It is very simple. This is his sense of the ball. problem, and the playing habits he has developed since he was a child are not very good.

Robben's passing is very good, his pace and ball feel are well combined, and the coaching staff is full of praise for his performance.

As for many fans who think his skills are very fancy, they must understand that riding a bicycle is not considered extraordinary, and it has no effect at all on the court. It really doesn't!

Therefore, the current Liverpool coaching staff has a consensus. Take Ronaldinho, replace it with Kuyt or Murphy, and focus on sculpting Robben's breakthrough on the left and Gerrard's back row. This can Maximize Liverpool's current offensive power.

There is nothing wrong with thinking like this. The only pity is Xiao Luo.

Sometimes Yang Cheng wonders, why are so many talented rookies unable to play?

It's really not because they don't have enough talent, but because they were abandoned by their head coach.

Just like Ronaldinho now, if Yang Cheng gave up on him on the grounds that his tactics were wrong, it would be fair and reasonable, and everyone would only say that the unlucky Portuguese boy was flashy. Yang Cheng made the right choice to give up on him. Although he lost a little transfer fee, it was better than not getting results with him.

If he stays at Liverpool for a year or two and misses the best age for improvement, he will be useless.

After following Paul Bayer and Moniz, everyone began to express their opinions. Just like last season, Liverpool's biggest problem currently focuses on the offense in the midfield and frontcourt, and the focus is Robben's position and On the use of Xiao Luo.

"Rene, Ricardo, you guys in charge of technology, have you done anything to help him improve these problems?" Yang Cheng asked.

Moniz and Meulensteen looked at each other and sighed. Angry, Yang Cheng still refused to give up on goalkeeper and Ronaldinho, "I can only say that we can help with stopping the ball and pace, but his problems are not just these."

Yang Cheng nodded, "I'll take care of the other things!"

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

"You..." Paul Bayer suddenly laughed when he felt that this guy was being ignored, "What is it about him that deserves your attention?"

Everyone else also felt that with Yang Cheng's current status, he could definitely get more.

"He can become this, the most outstanding top star in the world!" Yang Cheng said confidently.

Everyone was speechless.

What else could they say?

What does it take for a player to grow into a superstar?

Exceptional grass-throwing talent, unremitting efforts, a good team, and the guidance of a Bole Sihuai, what else?

Yang Cheng feels that there is another very important point, and that is mentality!

From the perspective of a top head coach, today's Yang Cheng is qualified to look back on Ferguson's transfer of Ronaldinho in his previous life. Then he can find that Ferguson did not completely transfer him back to coaching. At the very least, he did not give him any training. The mentality that a top superstar should have.

The most intuitive comparison is between Kaka in 2007 and Ronaldinho and Messi later. With such a direct comparison, everyone will find that Ronaldinho is really going to completely lose to these two players in terms of mentality.

Yang Cheng had read Xiao Luo's autobiography in his previous life and learned about his family background. He knew that when he was a child, he lived in Jiahan, and that he lived in a poor and remote rural area, so since he came to Lihui and returned to his hometown, he has I have always suffered discrimination from others.

Even when he went to school, he was treated as a special girl by Li Huisi's classmates. On the first day of school, the teacher asked him to sign up for his first name. As soon as he won, the whole class burst into laughter because he was so stupid. La Islands, a rural place, with the countryside. sound.

That year, when he was 13 years old, he cried and called home countless times!

It is conceivable that in such an environment, he was able to stand out because of hard work and persistence, but this also led to his mentality being somewhat different from other players, such as Kaká and Messi, who both grew up in a loose environment. Mirror, so they can look at football with a healthier attitude.

But for Ronaldinho, football is the only way he can prove himself!

He is a bit like one of those football geniuses from Brazil, but he was lucky enough to meet Ferguson.

But why did Ferguson fail to adjust him and teach him well?

After joining Manchester United, "Ronaldo was taken seriously, but he was not agreeable, his style of sticking to the ball, and his unwillingness to listen made his status in the Manchester United locker room very similar to his current position in Liverpool." First mirror.

But Manchester United was different from Liverpool because Manchester United was in a state of disintegration at the time.

As Ferguson got older, he started not to participate directly in training. Ben Ross was responsible for it. However, the Portuguese was an outsider and wanted to compete with the local elites such as Dang Si for power. So Queiroz tried every means to win over the younger players that Ferguson favored. Ronaldinho, and gave him as much favor as possible, and even indulged him, gradually developing his style of play that lacked team awareness.

As a result, Xiao Luo and even he himself stood on the opposite side of waiting for Si and others.

Bart beat him and left; Alan, Smith slapped him under Jung'en's advice to teach him a lesson; Fanny had a dispute with him and left; and Jung'en, even the captain He's gone.

In fact, this was a grudge between the local gang and Queiroz, but Ronaldinho became the weakling in the Manchester United locker room because of this, and Queiroz also successfully obtained the power he wanted.

So why does Manchester United never seem to have these problems?

The reason is simple. Manchester United has only one voice from beginning to end, and that is Ferguson.

This is the difference between Manchester United and Arsenal. In other words, even if Ferguson wants to sell people and decides to sell Ronaldinho, he will not expose these problems because only in this way can he sell at a high price, otherwise Ronaldinho Who will pay that sky-high price?

But Arsenal is different. Bregas has been clamoring to return to Barcelona for many years, and Wenger can't control it. If it were replaced by Ferguson, or Yang Cheng, if you argue, he will go back to his mother. Banning you on the bench for a year to see if you still make a fuss is really lawless.

It's a character issue, but also a team control issue.

Yang Cheng recalled these things in his previous life, mainly because he firmly believed that if there were not these contradictions in Manchester United at that time, "Ronaldo's character would be better, because it was Rose's connivance that made him increasingly lack of teamwork." He was so aware that later even Giggs, Fletcher, Berbatov and others publicly criticized his playing style of being unwilling to help others.

Today's Ronaldinho is still young, and he dribbles the ball blindly. To put it nicely, he wants to attract others' attention, but to put it badly, he has low self-esteem.

"Some people, because they have too much inferiority in their hearts, will pretend not to care on the surface and even make fun of them. In fact, they care very much in their hearts, so they will do everything possible to attract others' attention. .

After Natalie heard Yang Cheng analyze Xiao Luo's personality, she remembered a case she had learned when she was in school.

"There is a person who is very confident in public. You may even think that he is a bit arrogant and pretends to be relaxed about everything. But behind the scenes, he is always the one who works the hardest and is the most useful." Because he wants to prove Show all those who look down on him that he is the best, and he will make those who laugh at him better. "

"This is an extreme reaction when people automatically adjust their psychological balance."

Yang Cheng also studied psychology, but he wasn't as good at it as Natafe. This girl was a Harvard undergraduate, but she didn't study further. Even Harvard's supervisor felt regretful about this.

And she studied clinical psychology.

"Is there anything we can do?" Yang Cheng asked.

Natalie held a bag of snacks in her hand and wandered around the large living room of Yang Cheng's house. From time to time she would throw a piece into her mouth, chew it with a crunching sound, and nodded: "Of course, but it will take a little longer."

"The best way to deal with this kind of person is to slowly let him see himself clearly and let him understand what is right and what is wrong, but you can't be too biased. You have to make him feel that you treat him And treat everyone equally.”

After a pause, "The little girl has the potential to be a psychologist," you said just now that you hope he can integrate more into the team. I don't think you can do it well now. What he was best at before was on the right side. You let him go He is not used to playing on the left, and his performance is too poor. If the outside world criticizes him again, he will become even more inferior, which is counterproductive. "

"Let him return to the right?" Yang Cheng frowned.

"Give him what he is most familiar with. Things like psychology must be understood slowly by him. He cannot understand them all at once. It is difficult to have an epiphany, so."..." Natalie curled her lips, Didn't go on.

Of course she knew it because she was smart, and Yang Cheng could understand it.

"Do you want me to give you a diagnosis?" Suddenly, Natalie asked with a smile.

"Me? No need!" Yang Cheng shook his head. He knew some psychology himself, so why need others?

Natafe chatted with Tim Hanke, Paul, Bayer and others on the Internet, and learned more or less about what happened to Yang Cheng recently, and she also read the reports, and really felt that Yang Cheng had changed a bit. But this change was so small that he didn't notice it himself, but everyone around him noticed it.

The little girl shrugged, "It doesn't matter. However, sometimes, if a person achieves too high an achievement and reaches a certain peak, his heart will usually swell. No matter how much he restrains himself or pays attention, he will not be able to do anything." Avoid it, because when he looks at problems, he will habitually stand at a higher level and ignore some of the most basic things. Even he himself doesn't know and doesn't pay attention."

"What about?" Yang Cheng looked over.

"For example, I think Uncle Cheng is a little impatient now. You have spent years building an Inter Milan team across the continent, but now you are imposing your demands on Inter Milan on this Liverpool team. You have ignored one point. , Robben and Ronaldinho just have potential, but in terms of strength, they are still far from what you require."

Yang Cheng was silent, he had no way to refute.

It should be said that what Dotafi said is true.

The tactics he formulated are indeed very clever, but he ignores the fact that Liverpool has just been reorganized. Drogba is a semi-finished product. Gerrard, Ronaldinho, Robben and others are all semi-finished products. They are far from finished. It reached the point where Yang Cheng could manipulate him as he pleased.

For example, Yang Cheng asked Robben to go to the right and play an inverted cut. Robben was very obedient, but when he went to the right, he failed to find the space for Drogba to come out. This was not whether he was willing to go or not. The question of execution is whether he has the ability to execute it.

This requires enough ability and analysis to read the game to be able to see it, and it also requires them to establish a tacit understanding with each other.

But it was different when I was at Inter Milan. When I bought them, Nedvěd, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Deco and others were already finished products. Yang Cheng introduced them according to his own needs, so they can be used as soon as they arrive. Use it, it’s good as soon as you use it. Only Pirlo has also gone through a long period of refinement to become a talent.

After understanding this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel relieved.

He originally felt that something seemed to be blocking him recently, especially after watching Inter Milan's near-invincible performance in the Amsterdam Cup. He was even more eager for Liverpool to follow suit, and he wished he could become another team tomorrow. Inter Milan.

Natafi was right, it was because of his state of mind.

The coaching staff is obviously aware of this, but they have never analyzed it like Natalie.

This will happen to everyone, especially those who have reached the top. Their mentality will inevitably be unbalanced. If it is not adjusted well, it will lead to complete depression.

The one who impressed Yang Cheng the most was Van Gaal. Even now, he has not been able to adjust his mentality and is still living in the shadow of Ajax.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Natalie, you are truly my goddess of good luck!" Yang Cheng said sincerely.

Natalie's face turned red, but she smiled happily.
