"I hope you can make some changes during this holiday. What's more important is not technically or physically, but mentally." When Petit found Zhao Yaning, his words brought a hint of him Extremely rare seriousness, "I hope you can find a counselor for psychological counseling."

This statement stunned Zhao Yaning.

"I have no mental problems..."

"Psychological counseling is not for sick people. People with problems are treated by psychotherapy. Those who are sick have to be treated by psychiatrists." Petit said, "What I want you to do is Find a psychological counselor and do some psychological counseling to make your personality more cheerful, lively, or more aggressive."

Zhao Yaning didn’t understand Petit’s thoughts. [

"You have a good personality, very good - I would love that if you were my son. But you're a football player, you have to be a little adventurous, a little bit of a struggler, a little bit aggressive... simply put Say, the Olympic spirit, the spirit of daring to fight for victory."

"I never gave up the game."

"Struggling for victory is not just about not giving up." Petit shook her head, "You are a very resilient child, and you did a good job of not giving up hope. But your desire to attack is not strong enough, and your desire to express is not strong enough. You don't Willing to take on offensive tasks beyond your responsibilities, and not daring to make threatening passes, this is not a problem of ability, but a problem of character. I hope you correct this.”

Zhao Yaning was even more confused. When playing football in China, no one said that he needed to have a desire to express himself. No matter how you look at it, those things are not good things, right?

"Teamwork is a good thing, but too much teamwork is not good for your performance." Petit explained, "Football is a sport that requires unity and talent. You have done a good job of unity, but what you lack , it’s passion, it’s aggression, it’s the guts to unleash inspiration, I hope you can change a little bit. Personality change is very difficult, but your problem is not very big, so it might be a good idea to try psychological counseling .”

Coach Petit continued to talk about his opinion, "Coach Troussier is the former coach of the Japanese national team. He thinks that the character of the Japanese is too obedient and lacks passion and enthusiasm. But I know a little about South Korea. I don’t know too many Chinese players, and you, as the only player I have a deep understanding of, are similar in this regard. I think this may be because of you from the East Culture, and our culture is very different from the reason."

Coach Petit paused before speaking, "I don't know which of these two cultures is better. I'm not an anthropologist, so I'm not interested in learning about them. And as a coach, I think the Eastern This kind of culture has merits. But now, I hope you accept some western culture and some of our things. You have to understand what passion is, what fighting spirit is, and how to put the It ignites. I am not an expert in this area. I hate speeches and inspirational things. And I can’t believe the fighting spirit that is inspired by words. The real fighting spirit comes from the heart. Since I want you to have fighting spirit, I will naturally encourage you. You go to a psychiatrist and change your own mental state."

Although Zhao Yaning was a little reluctant to seek psychological counseling, he still agreed with him.What Coach Petit said is definitely not a bad thing, what he does is for the good of the players.

But he still has a problem.

"Is psychological counseling really something that normal people can do? Besides, why haven't I seen anyone in the club go for psychological counseling? And there is no psychological counseling in the team..."

"Conflict with religion." Petit immediately gave his answer.

Be it Muslims or Catholics, religious theories are related to psychology.Among the sports players in France, believers of various religions accounted for the vast majority, and naturally no one would risk offending religions by introducing psychological counselors into clubs.

In fact, not only France, but the whole of Europe is the same.Even some clubs in Italy still retain the tradition of having priests in the clubs. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to introduce psychological counseling.

But Petit felt that Zhao Yaning could still try to do some psychological counseling.

"I heard that most of you Chinese are theists, and I haven't seen you engage in any activities such as prayer and worship. I hope you will not have any resistance to psychological counseling. This thing is scientific, at least better than Confession is much more scientific." Petit was a little unhappy talking about this, "Religion is too much of a hindrance to sports... troublesome things."

"I'll do it." Zhao Yaning didn't let Petit complain more, he interrupted Petit in time, "I'll ask my agent to contact a psychological counselor."

"Well, one more thing, don't look for psychoanalysis, it won't help you, and the more you do it, the more uncomfortable it gets. Don't do Morita therapy, the Japanese way of things, it works too slowly. Go find some American Human method, I suggest you try nlp technology, although the psychology community seems to agree with this theory too much, but I think it has the greatest effect.”

Coach Petit was still introducing the method to him, but Zhao Yaning was surprised, "Coach, do you understand psychology?"

"Sports psychology is a necessary course for football, and it is necessary to learn it. But after all, sports psychology is only the mental exercise of players when they play football, and it is different from the psychological training of teenagers. I have learned a little bit, but not very deep." Per Dee shook his head, "I'm interested in all these things that can make players more perfect, but many things can't be mastered by learning, and you still have to seek help from professionals." [

"It must be difficult..."

"That's what I said about your problem." Petit laughed. "Why don't you think this is the fun?"

"Only if you understand their fun, you can progress faster. Joey, the essence of football is not fighting, nor is it a mechanical activity. It is a kind of entertainment. If you play football and lose the basic happiness , what else do you need to play football?"

After telling Zhang Yuan all this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but speak, "So, this winter, you refused to return to China just to stay in France to replenish your physical fitness and seek psychological counseling at the same time."

"Yes." Zhao Yaning scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I missed too many games in the first half of the season, so I said it was a last resort, but I still feel ashamed in my heart. I think I will work harder in the second half of the season Now that my physical strength has caught up, I can perform better in both training and competition, so I can improve faster."

"But CCTV's interview work can't be delayed..." Zhang Yuan smiled wryly, "This is nothing else. If you say delay, you can delay it. Those people are all uncles, and they don't wait for anyone."

That's a problem.Zhao Yaning pondered for a while before speaking, “Can’t we let them come to Monaco?”

"This is indeed possible, but you have to spend a little more money." Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and agreed with Zhao Yaning's approach, "But are you really sure that you will not go back to China, and you will not go back to see your uncle, aunt, siblings?"

"No, I made an agreement with my parents. After the new year, I will take them to France to play. Beibei still has to go to school. She said that we will wait until summer." Zhao Yaning laughed, "This is still my father and me. As I said, it would be too troublesome for me to return to China, so it’s better for them to come here. And they don’t have much to do in China right now, so it’s good to pick them up to play in Europe.”

"At that time, I will go out with my uncle and aunt, and I will take your money and spend your money to go around." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Then I will let the people from the TV station come over. In fact, domestic These days I want to interview you a lot, and the TV station also said that they will make a special program for you, one hour, to introduce you. And many other media are also very interested in you, and they all want to interview What about you. In the past, I was afraid that the Monaco club would not be happy. I heard the coach talk about it many times, saying that excessive media attention will ruin the players. Therefore, I dare not let them come. But now, anyway, you are It’s nothing important to gather energy, I’ll let them all come together. The interview is over in one go, and it will be easy in the future.”

Zhao Yaning had no opinion on this.For a long time, Zhang Yuan has been handling the affairs of the domestic media for him. Zhang Yuan is willing to spend money on this aspect, and he also has a low face. The media get along well. The reporter of "Sports Weekly" stationed in Paris Coaxed around, every day just reposted articles that were beneficial to Zhao Yaning, and the criticism of Zhao Yaning in the media could not be spread back to the country at all.Although Zhao Yaning can’t read those bragging words, domestic fans are willing to watch them. Zhang Yuan thinks that this can make money, so he naturally doesn’t consider Zhao Yaning’s ideas when he arranges this way.

But this time, Zhang Yuan had no way to fool the reporters who came down from above. After all, they had a lot of background and a lot of face, let alone a newspaper like "Sports Weekly" that only had influence in small circles.What's more, people's interviews were originally not commercial activities, but political tasks.How to fool them is very troublesome for Zhang Yuan.Although he had to bite the bullet and let them come to Monaco, Zhang Yuan was still very speculative and uneasy in private.

"It's just that you have to be ready. The domestic media is very different from the French media." Zhang Yuan still told Zhao Yaning uneasy, "They have something to say, you have to pay attention."

"It's not that I haven't stayed in China, how could I not know these things?" Zhao Yaning laughed.

"What do you know? You've just seen something." Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, "Then you should try to get to know those guys when the time comes. It will be good for you to get to know them earlier."
