198 The True Value of Coaching
On the morning of June 25, it was drizzling, and overhead there were patches of black cumulonimbus clouds.
Half an hour before the training time, those players who had raised their salaries and could afford to buy a car drove into the training base by themselves, and those who could not afford to buy a car came one by one or took a bus and ran into the training base quickly.
In addition to Essien, who is still playing at the World Junior Championships, the other 22 first-team players arrived at the training base on time, including Frank Ribery, who was sent to the development squad and youth team for physical strengthening training last season.
In the locker room, the players who returned from vacation all seemed to be in a good mood.
Last season, they helped the team to League Two with their impressive performances, and now they are getting the rewards they deserve, with each player's salary being increased and a new contract signed with the club.
This is a delight for the young players and they are happy to be able to stay with the team.
For them, it's a job, a job to make a living!
At the same time, they have also become the darlings of the fans through the club's achievements, which makes these young people excited and excited!
Juninho Jr. walked into the dressing room, where Schmeichel captained the club after Schmeichel's decision to retire, captained by Curtis Davies, who was also the first player to be named to England and hailed as the club's hope for the future.
A number of people in the dressing room have received offers from other clubs this summer, the most popular of which is undoubtedly Curtis, but none of them have left in the end, not only because the club has offered them a higher salary increase, but also because they also like to stay with the team they know relatively well.
With a change of team, who can guarantee that it will be better than it is now?
For these relatively young players, they are all wise to choose to grow rather than fame and fortune.
"These are the four players who have just moved in this year, Didier Drogba, Max Senna, Giorgio Chiellini, Petr Cech!"
After that, Juninho Jr. introduced the other teammates in the locker room to familiarize them with each other, and then began to arrange their respective wardrobes, and then let them start to change clothes.
For these professional players, they have to learn to accept the comings and goings of their teammates, which is a compulsory course for professional players.
"Guys, Mr. Mourinho doesn't like people being late, so we have to hurry up, otherwise I don't know what tragedy will happen later!" After saying that, Juninho Jr. himself ran out of the locker room first.
Curtis, Terry, and the others also went out laughing one after another.
Those who moved more slowly suddenly became busy one by one, and soon they all went out, and the whole locker room was empty.
When they arrived at the training ground, they found the head coach Mourinho standing in the middle of the field with a serious face, with members of the coaching staff on the left and right sides, and Coach Faria holding a stopwatch in his hand as he had done every time he had trained before, apparently calculating whether they were late.
The players who saw Mourinho's awesomeness last year don't dare to be careless this year, and they are lined up in a neat and orderly array.
Although Distin and Stanson were removed in the middle of last season, Kitson and Poulsen at the end of the season, and Schmeichel retired, the new United have added Didier Drogba, Senna, Chiellini and Petr Cech this season, and there has not been much change in numbers, but the potential of the players has increased significantly.
These guys are all future European-level stars, each of them is a well-known man, Xiao Yu is reluctant to let them go, so after the season, Xiao Yu began to work on salary increases, which kept them.
Otherwise, maybe a few more!
However, although it is a salary increase, Xiao Yu also increased their salary to the level of League Two, and promised that if the team is promoted again, their salary will be increased again!
For these players who play football professionally, the premise of loyalty is salary, and it is to ensure that they get the benefits they deserve!
Xiao Yu knew this better than anyone else.

"Stop, Peter Cech!" Jose Mourinho suddenly called out the player who had run out of the dressing room.
The eyes of everyone in the team were suddenly focused on this Czech teenager who had just joined and was praised as a talented goalkeeper by Xiao Yu, he stood there a little overwhelmed, feeling the rain spilling on his body, and getting into the training clothes from his neck, wet, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"Why aren't your ankles bandaged?" Mourinho asked with a cold face.
Cech was stunned for a moment, looking at his ankles in his sneakers, although the shoes and socks were very high, as long as you looked closely, it was not difficult to find that there were indeed no bandages, but Cech looked dazed.
"I ...... I don't know, sir! ”
"Don't know?" Mourinho said in a stern tone, "Then you should remember from now on that every goalkeeper, the moment he steps on the training ground, he has to be sure that he is 100 per cent ready, but you obviously haven't done that yet!" ”
Peter Cech was so anxious that he almost cried, when he was in the Czech Republic, no one had ever taught him what to wear bandages, which led to the fact that he had just seen Almunia and David Green in the dressing room feel very strange, but he didn't ask much.
"Go back and tie the bandages, and when you're done, go to the side and train yourself!"
After saying that, Mourinho turned around with a cold face, ignored Cech, and came directly to the first-team players.
"Do you think the weather in England is terrible?" Mourinho's tone was cold.
The players didn't even dare to be angry, I was afraid that a bigger anger would allow Mourinho to take advantage of the problem.
"Do you feel like you're fucking a star after you've had a good season, you've got a bigger contract, you've got a car, you've got a lot of teams, you've got a lot of attention?"
Jose Mourinho walked back and forth along the queue of players, his cold eyes sweeping over each player.
"I tell you, when you feel good about yourself as a football star, you should hold your heart and ask yourself who gave you all this, and who made you where you are today!"
"It's football! It's the football that you're kicking around, without it you wouldn't be where you are today, but it's cruel, and once you start to feel good about yourself, that's when you're going to be punished, and then I'm going to abandon you mercilessly, and then you see, and then the clubs that are chasing you now, how many of them will be interested in you! ”
"Speaking with strength, this is the rule of the football field, not for you to accept, but for you to accept!"
After saying that, Mourinho asked the group of imps to go to the laboratory for a medical examination.
Watching the players trot all the way to the dressing room under the leadership of the two captains, Schmeichel came behind Mourinho.
"José, don't you think you're being too Cech?"
Mourinho looked at his assistant, and not only did he not think it was bad for Schmeichel to say his opinion to his face, even if it was a question of him, but he still felt that it was good, at least it proved that there was nothing wrong with the coaching staff.
"No, Peter, if he is a genius, then he must understand that details determine success or failure, a player who doesn't even do a good job in details, no matter how talented he is, he is destined to become a first-class star!"
Speaking of which, Mourinho saw Cech running out of the dressing room, waved his hand and signaled him to report directly to the laboratory, then smiled and said: "I know he has not been trained professionally as a goalkeeper before, but that doesn't mean he can be treated specially, on the contrary, I think it should prompt me to be more strict with him, only then will he feel that he is one of the new Manchester United players!" ”
Schmeichel was obviously persuaded by Mourinho, he felt that Mourinho was like Xiao Yu, both of them had their own way of doing things, and they both knew very well what they were doing and what they wanted, and then they would use their own unique way to infect everyone around them.
Maybe this should be called the charm of personality!
"Peter, I believe in Xiao Yu's vision, since he is optimistic about Cech, it proves that Cech must have his uniqueness, and I hope you can try to tap his potential. The biggest role of a coach is not that he plays his talents, but that he taps the potential of the players who are trained by him, although this may lead to the obscurity of the coach, but everyone will understand, and I believe the players will also understand, the true value of the coach! ”
Mourinho said earnestly to Schmeichel, who was walking beside him.
Many goalkeeper coaches have been retired from goalkeepers, but some have succeeded and some have failed, why?
It's because they can't tell the difference between a goalkeeper and a goalkeeper coach!
The former is to give full play to their talents and abilities in order to prove their worth; But the latter is different, the latter's value is determined by whether he can train a top goalkeeper, be able to tap the potential of the trained players, and maximize his ability.
If he doesn't know how to distinguish the gap between the two, then Mourinho will consider replacing Schmeichel, even if he was once a great goalkeeper, but as a goalkeeper coach, it would be unqualified!
He was beaten by Xiao Yu once before, and now he is beaten again by Mourinho, Schmeichel obviously found his own problem, he understands that he does have a long way to go on this road, so he humbly accepts Mourinho's reminder.
No one is born omnipotent, only by constantly discovering their own mistakes and constantly improving them, in order to make progress, so as to be able to move towards higher and greater glory!
