No. 538: No one can change my decision!
Everyone can barely accept the gag order, but it is forbidden to meet with his girlfriend......
If they can achieve the set goal and reach the semi-finals, the team will have to stay in South Africa for more than 20 days......
Is this about abstinence?
With a "boom...... bang, the conference room was like a frying pan!
The strength of the Italian was evident at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not a discussion, but an announcement, quiet down!" ”
Although the players complained heavily about this discipline, their professionalism kept their mouths shut. If this happens on a team in South America, no matter how strong the coach is, he may not be able to silence the players.
South American players are more liberal and this discipline clearly interferes with their private lives - your rules are just your rules, and I can do things on my own terms.
But European players are different, they are more disciplined, even if they have problems with the coach, they will still do what the coach says.
……
"Damn, you've reached menopause and lost interest in xxoo, but we're still young......"
"More than 20 days, who can bear it?"
"Those locker room leaders, at this time, you should go and have a good chat with Capello, and the gag order will be forgotten, abstinence? Damn it! ”
"You say, is it that the function of the Italians has begun to decline...... That's why he gave an abstinence order? ”
"Quite possibly!"
When the players returned to their rooms, they were very unhappy with the abstinence order.
At the same time, Capello's room was no less calm, with Beckenham "fighting" with the Italians.
"Sir, the gag order is enough, the abstinence order makes the players complain, this discipline is not deeply popular, you have to think deeply!"
The heartthrob stood as the players left the field and spoke.
Capello shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, the gag has little to do with you." It's about reducing the influence of the media on us. I'm afraid that someone will say something we shouldn't say in front of reporters and get us into trouble. ”
Italians believe that Beckenham did not mean an abstinence, but a gag order.
Without waiting for Beckenham to argue, the Italian continued: "I didn't come up with the abstinence on the pat of my head, I made it after careful consideration.
First of all, not every player's girlfriend or wife comes to South Africa, what if they go to a call girl?
If we are found by reporters, we will be in endless trouble, and we will never think about living a clean life, is it good for preparation and competition?
Second. Abstinence allows players to focus all their energy on preparation and matching. What are we doing in South Africa? We're here for the quadrennial World Cup!
For all the factors that will affect the team's results, I will not be merciless! ”
Beckenham will be skeptical of Capello's explanation of the gag order, but he has a lot to say about the abstinence order.
The heartthrob didn't back down, he retorted, "Sir, I don't agree with your explanation of the abstinence order.
The vast majority of the players have girlfriends and wives who come to South Africa, and those who don't have girlfriends and wives who don't come to South Africa won't be what you think.
I'm sure they're not going to go to the call girl. After all, this is a continent where AIDS is rampant, and they will think about their own health.
Second, the pressure of the World Cup is too great, and the players need an outlet to vent. And they need comfort too. I don't mean that they are not strong enough, but that people need a warm embrace in the face of difficulties.
Abstinence orders can't let them vent the negative emotions in their hearts in time, and if the negative emotions accumulate too much, people will be irritable. It's not good for the game. ”
Capello was not angry, and said with a smile: "You haven't fully adapted to your new identity yet, you have to know that you are now my assistant." ”
Beckenham said, "No. Sir, I have a very good understanding of my new identity. My main job in this team is to build a bridge between you and the players.
You've also seen how the emotions of the players were when you announced the abstinence......
So, I should help them so that they can train and compete in the right environment. ”
The Italian shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "There is no perfect thing in this world, everything has pros and cons, and when we make decisions, we mainly consider whether the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the pros."
If the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it's worth it. ”
Capello was still very patient with the assistant he chose, he looked at Beckenham and said: "I am very happy that you can come to my room and talk to me so much, and I am very happy to argue with reason, which shows that you are working hard." ”
Seeing that Capello had no intention of changing, Beckenham was a little depressed, and said helplessly: "What's the use? ”
Capello smiled and said, "As long as you can convince me, I will change my rules." ”
His face suddenly sank: "Have you ever thought that if I announce the lifting of the abstinence order now, the players will definitely welcome it, but will they think that if the abstinence order is lifted, the gag order will be lifted immediately." ”
"Will they still listen to what I say in the future?"
Beckenham's expression became serious, and it was a big taboo to change the order overnight, and it would shake the position of the Italians, which was no longer just a matter of face.
"I don't mean to lift the abstinence right away, but to let the players meet their girlfriends or wives at the right time."
Capello nodded seriously and said, "I will seriously consider your suggestion." ”
"Now the emotions of the players need you to soothe them, so it's hard for you."
The Italian patted Beckenham on the shoulder, and the heartthrob stood up helplessly to say goodbye to him, yes, the player needs to be appeased at this time.
When Beckenham left the room, Capello sat silently in his chair, and his assistant, who had not spoken all this time, asked softly: "Sir, I think what Beckenham said makes sense, you should really listen to his advice." ”
Capello had a sense of betrayal, and he looked up deeply at the assistant who had followed him for decades.
"You think so too?"
There was endless mockery in the Italian's words, and he seemed to be mocking himself.
His own rules actually made his assistants who had followed him for decades feel inappropriate!
The assistant nodded, but did not speak.
Capello looked up at the ceiling, his eyes hardened.
"When I was in charge of Real Madrid, some people said that my style of play was too ugly, too conservative, and some people even put pressure on me to make the game flashy. However, I helped Real Madrid regain the La Liga title! ”
The Italian's voice was as cold as ice, but the assistant sighed in his heart: Although you helped Real Madrid win the La Liga title again, you were dismissed......
"No one can change my decision!"
The assistant looked at Capello's determined eyes and shook his head in his heart, sir, you are becoming more and more like an Englishman, incorrigibly stubborn......
Capello had a meaningful smile on his face.
Where do you think I really mean this, this team is very talented, but there are many undercurrents and contradictions. Instead of letting them fight among themselves, let them turn their artillery fire on me, so that they can unite for a while! (To be continued.) )
