Chapter 813 Psychological Counseling

Carrington Base.

Griezmann sat on the lawn and complained, "Obviously he shoveled Best first, but the media all blamed Best!"

"Just because Bojan was injured, but Best was not injured!?" Herrera pouted.

Sun Wu lay there lazily, "For the media, sometimes they flatter the strong, and sometimes they protect the weak... The key is, how to write can sell more newspapers."

"That's true." Griezmann patted Sun Wu's leg that was shoveled, "Best, has the test result come out?"

"It should be fine." Thomas Muller complained: "Did you forget that he knocked you into the air against him in groups today?"

"However, it was weird today, the training volume was much lower."

"Yeah, just now Mane wanted to train more and the coach didn't agree."

The topic was diverted, and the players began to discuss why the amount of training was so low today, the upcoming 14-game winning streak in the league, and the next double red meeting.

If they win the next two league games, Manchester United will replace Arsenal to create the Premier League's winning streak, 15 consecutive victories... Tsk tsk, there are only 38 league rounds in total.

The reduction of training volume today was suggested by the team doctor Dr. Swell. Most of the players in the team were not in a normal state of mind. The emotions of nervousness and excitement came in advance, which affected the players' competitive state.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their homes to find their own mothers. Of course, the latter word refers to Phil Jones, a boy who goes back to his hometown in Preston every day. He now has to go to the restaurant to bring his dinner every day before going home. go home.

And Sun Wu walked slowly towards the office building alone, instead of going to the office on the second floor, he went to the third floor. This floor is mainly the archives room, data analysis room, editing room, and psychological counseling room.

After the game before yesterday, Dr. Swell took Sun Wu to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. The report has come out and there is no problem.

But to Sun Wu's surprise, Dr. Swell asked Sun Wu to go for a psychological counseling.

"Hi, Susan." Sun Wu knocked on the door and entered, "Wonderful name, how about a piece of "Les Miserables"?"

"It's a compliment...but my singing always makes my friends frown." A graceful middle-aged woman stood up and said with a smile, "Best, I'm finally waiting for you. You are the only one in the team who has never been here before."

"Everyone has been here except me?"

"certainly.

"Susan nodded, "Like Lingard's recent visit, I would like to thank you for your encouragement; and Thomas Muller, a German with a heavy mental burden. "

"Thomas?" Sun Wu frowned, "Is it about leaving Manchester United?"

"Yes, of course, what I said is... I think you have the right to know." Susan blinked, "In the club, you are not just the captain."

Sun Wu smiled, and wanted to ask Erwa what his plan was, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t ask... It was nothing more than Bayern abandoning him, and Manchester United saved him, but it was difficult to refuse the temptation to return to Bayern after he was worth his money .

Taking a deep breath, Sun Wu said, "But I don't think I have a problem..."

"People who walk in here say they don't have a problem...often this proves that he really has a problem." Susan kindly smiled and picked up a folder and handed it over, "Come on, a little test."

Half an hour later, Susan looked at the test questions with a serious expression, and then sighed after a while: "Best, do you usually feel tired?"

"Sometimes, occasionally."

"Physically or mentally...or as a player or as a coach?"

Sun Wu hesitated for a while, "Not necessarily, but the latter is slightly more, after all, the coach needs to consider more things."

Susan looked at the young man in front of her with undetectable prying eyes, "Best, I'm curious why you can tap so many young and potential new stars, such as Aubameyang who was unknown back then... This has become a legend story."

Sun Wu replied bluntly: "Can I not answer?"

"Of course." Susan's voice was soft. "But I think...you've done a lot of homework, haven't you?"

Sun Wu acquiesced blankly.

"Best, I have been a Manchester United fan since I was a child. I am very lucky to work here, but I have never been in Pochettino's office." Susan changed the subject, "In addition to scouting work in the coaching staff, you also Responsible for what?"

"Tactics discussion, some intelligence collection, explaining tactics to the players, conducting tactical drills during training." Sun Wu said slowly: "Sometimes I will discuss details with teammates through video data..."

Susan was sensitively aware that Sun Wu used different words to refer to the same group of people.

players.

teammates.

This represents Sun Wu's different identities.

"Is it the same before you came to Manchester United?"

"Maybe a little less, but there is always. Starting from Wolfsburg, Magath allowed me to participate in tactical discussions, and also allowed me to have a high degree of tactical freedom and adjust power on the spot."

After a moment of silence, Susan smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about other things. When will you and Christine get married?"

"The second year after winning the Golden Globe." The first sincere smile appeared on Sun Wu's face after entering this room.

"Then what are you all doing, dating once every few days on average?"

The smile on Sun Wu's face froze, "We live next door, we can see each other every day..."

"What are you going to do after meeting?" Susan laughed and said, "Of course, except for sports."

Sun Wu's head drooped slightly, "Basically they are all in the study."

"What are you doing in the study?"

Sun Wu answered questions more and more slowly, "I have to do my homework every night."

"Still about football?"

"Yep."

Susan never asked any more questions.

And Sun Wu's eyes showed clarity.

...

Eight o'clock at night.

Knocking on the door of Pochettino's office, Susan put a report on the table.

"How?" asked Dr. Swell first.

"It's hard to say, but it's certain that Best's mental state has been greatly affected by the long-term switching between players and coaches. After all, one of these two roles is a commander and the other is a follower, and sometimes this The two characters still clash."

After a pause, Susan continued: "Although it looks normal from the outside, but in this mode for a long time, Best has paid more than ordinary people...not just energy, time and sweat."

Pochettino tapped on the table, "What's the conclusion?"

"Overall, it's not bad, but if it continues..." Susan shook her head, "It's hard to say, after all, there has never been a precedent before. There are many examples of players serving as coaches, but most of them are at the end of their careers. A person who has been deeply involved in the coaching staff during the golden period of his career...has never been seen before."

Susan hesitated for a while and said: "However, this also has something to do with Best thinking too much and doing too much. His work involves almost every corner of the coaching staff's work scope, and he has to go back every night. Do your homework."

"Not only that." Jesus shook his head and said: "After he became the captain, he always paid attention to the status of his teammates, and would visit the wounded in the medical room from time to time."

Miguel pouted, "So, sometimes, with him around, I feel like I have nothing to do."

Mike Phelan frowned tightly, "The treatment plan?"

"First, rest. You need to relax physically and mentally. At least you can't study tactics for a long time every night."

"Second, as a coach, his scope of work needs to be adjusted, and perhaps a circle needs to be made."

"Thirdly, he needs to adjust his mentality, and I noticed an interesting response in his test.

Who can beat you? The options include the major European giants. "

Miguel asked curiously, "Who did he choose?"

Susan shook her head, "He didn't choose anyone, but wrote Manchester United."

There was silence in the office, Sun Wu's conceit surprised them, but it also made them worried.

Half an hour later, Pochettino made a decision that Sun Wu's assistant coach position in the coaching staff will still be retained, but most of the work will be taken over by Jesús and Miguel.

Pochettino emphasized that this does not mean that Sun Wu's power has shrunk, and he still has the power to participate in various tasks.

The corner of Mike Phelan's mouth moved slightly, and he immediately noticed that this adjustment...

Don't do detailed work, but can participate. If you have the power to make overall arrangements, there will be no essential difference between Sun Wu and Pochettino.

...

Sun Wu, who came home, didn't go into the study today, but sat in the living room watching TV with Christine, and the two of them had a long time of laughing and joking before entering the room.

Sun Wu also noticed that today's psychological counseling is aimed at him for a long time and high intensity, and it also shares the pressure brought by the two jobs.

As a time traveler who was an associate professor of the 985 Academy in his previous life, Sun Wu knew very well that such a state could not last for a long time.

Two years ago, Guardiola resolutely dismissed Sun Wu as an assistant coach. This did not make Sun Wu feel depressed, but inspired his fighting spirit. He proved with facts that you may be right, but I am also right.

After coming to Manchester United, Sun Wu participated in all aspects of the work of the coaching staff in a real sense, from tactics, signings to negotiations, and training. He was even more worried than Pochettino and spent more effort. A lot... All this put Sun Wu under great pressure mentally.

Lying on the bed with his arms around Christine's waist, Sun Wu knew that he should make a change.
