Chapter 258 Crazy Udinese
"I was unhappy when Wolfsburg pulled a goal back," Guidolin said. "But after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be not a bad thing."
Everyone looked at him in surprise, thinking that the boss was confused by anger, right? Or are you talking sarcastically?
"Of course, no one wants to concede a goal. Isn't 2:0 bad?" Guidolin continued.
There was laughter in the locker room.
"Now, Wolfsburg is only one goal behind. If you were a Wolfsburg player, what would you think?" Guidolin named him, "Antonio, tell me."
"We just need to score one more goal to tie it," Di Natale said.
"Bruno."
"That's what the captain thought."
"Joao."
"We see hope."
"Very good." Guidolin nodded. "What you said is very good. Yes, the difference of one goal will make the Wolfsburg team very excited! They see hope, they see the equalizer. Hopefully, they even feel they have hope of overtaking the score.”
"What does this hope represent? It's motivation, an urgent desire!"
"So, at the beginning of the second half, what we have to do is defend with all our strength and prevent Wolfsburg from scoring! Let them see hope, but they can't touch it!"
"Withstanding Wolfsburg's offensive at the beginning of the second half, Wolfsburg's momentum has gone down." Guidolin said, "Who can tell me what the mentality of Wolfsburg people is at this time?"
"unhappy."
"impatient."
"Frustration."
…
Everyone started talking about it.
………………
"Yes, you really know your opponents very well." Guidolin said happily, "We know our opponents' strengths and weaknesses very well, and we also know our own strengths and weaknesses very well, so we hold the key to victory! "
"This one-goal difference gives Wolfsburg people hope. They will score goals at all costs. All their morale and motivation come from this." Guidolin said.
Guidolin hammered the table hard and said word by word: "In the second half of the game, on the basis of good defense, counterattack! We only need to seize an opportunity and score a goal, which will be enough to destroy Wall to the maximum extent." The fighting spirit of the people of Fusburg!”
The atmosphere of the team was very good, and Guidolin explained the tactics and details of the second half of the game.
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said." Guidolin said with a smile, "I just said that you know yourself and your enemy. So, who can tell me what is our greatest advantage?"
The players started talking, some said that the team's defense was good, some said that the offensive power was also very good, and some flatterers said "We have Bruno" in front of Bruno.
………………
Cancelo and Bruno were talking quietly.
Cancelo is asking for advice humbly. Everyone knows that Coach Bruno is the absolute confidant.
Of course, everyone knows that this trust was earned by Bruno's outstanding performance on the court.
What Cancelo asked for was how to better communicate and get along with the coach. He is an honest person, this is not cunning, this is an honest person's way of survival. He likes the current environment very much and hopes that he can do better.
At this moment, Guidolin called out Cancelo: "Joao, tell me!"
"We have you as a coach." Cancelo said with a serious expression.
"Oh, I was overtaken by this guy!" The players looked at Cancelo. You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, turned out to be the best at flattering.
Guidolin laughed, pointed at Cancelo and said: "I like your honest quality."
The locker room burst into laughter.
Bruno glanced at Cancelo in surprise, wondering when did this guy have such a high emotional intelligence?
Cancelo explained with a serious look: "I really think so."
Bruno nodded, patted his shoulder happily, and whispered: "Joao, you have a bright future. This is the most powerful thing!"
