Chapter 1174 Invitation

If the conflicts between players cannot be resolved, what should we do?
Southgate doesn't seem to have thought about it.

When Jin Taige asked, he answered bravely: "I don't think there is any conflict that cannot be resolved. As long as the two people are sincerely integrated, the conflict should be resolved..."

Jin Taige snorted: "Gareth, I don't know if I should say something. If I say it, it may make you angry."

Southgate hurriedly said: "Tiger, I just wanted to talk to you today and get your advice. You are the coach of the seven-time champion. You must have a lot of experience that I can learn from. Please give me your advice. "

"I can't talk about enlightenment, but I still want to talk about some personal opinions that are not formed."

Jin Taige opened the chat box and chatted about some past events.

"Gareth, after the 2006 World Cup, you started your career as a player-manager at Middlesbrough and led Middlesbrough to play in the Premier League for the next two seasons, but in the 2008-2009 season, you Middlesbrough got relegated and you ended up leaving there, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Southgate was a little embarrassed: "I was just coaching the team at the time. I was a fledgling and immature in many areas, so the results of leading the team were very poor. I really admire Tiger for this. You also coached when you first arrived. Manchester United, it took less than five years to let Manchester United dominate the world again, which is really admirable."

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "Gareth, I didn't say this to belittle you and praise myself, I just talked to you about the facts. Then in the summer of 2013, you became the head coach of the England U21 team. And led the team with excellent results and won many victories and championships."

Southgate nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I was appointed by the FA as the head coach of the England national team after the European Cup in 2016, and I have been appointed as the head coach of the England national team until today."

Jin Taige continued: "Gareth, have you ever thought about why you did not do well in coaching the club team, but did you do well in coaching the national team?"

Southgate was taken aback: "Because I was too young and inexperienced when I coached the club."

Jin Taige shook his head: "Gareth, I don't think so."

"There is a big difference between the club and the national team, which is whether the players are often together. When in the national team, the players come over occasionally to play a game or two. There is no deep contact. They have their own clubs, and there is not much overlap. You have a strong ability to command the game, since the player era, you have been steady yet alert, and your tactical command is very good. This is your biggest advantage."

"But when I returned to the club, the situation was different. Between the players and the coaches, between the players and the players, they stayed together almost every day, training and playing, longer than staying with their families. In this case , There will be very close emotions between players, and unknown conflicts will also occur. And how to deal with these conflicts, so that the team can be twisted together and achieve the strongest combat effectiveness, is what the head coach of the club should do."

Hearing Jin Taige finished Zhexi, Southgate hesitated for a moment, and then asked slowly: "Tiger, you mean that I am not very good at handling player relations?"

Kintag explained: "I'm not saying that you are not good, but that when dealing with different types of teams, different methods should be adopted."

Southgate seemed a little unconvinced: "Tiger, but the U21 national team I coached before, players often train together, and there is no such trouble now?"

Jin Taige nodded: "You are right, this is another situation. The players in the U21 national team are generally small, their values ​​​​are not fully finalized, and they listen to your words more, just like what you said , the two players have some conflicts, if you try to persuade and enlighten them, it will be fine. But you are now leading an adult team, these players are the elites of their respective clubs and teams, and everyone has their own Arrogance, there are some things that you insist on. It is much more difficult for you to knead them together and form a synergy. And if these players have conflicts with each other, it is because of the disharmony between the clubs. It is absolutely impossible for the club's conflicts to be resolved in the national team."

Southgate listened more and more: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but now that the England national team is in such a situation, should I just let them go and let them continue to make trouble in the national team?"

Jin Taige said seriously: "I told you just now, if the players can reconcile, then let them resolve the conflict as soon as possible; if it can't be resolved, then the strong man will cut his wrists. As for whether you should fire Delph or Manchester United You can think about it for yourself. I still think that way. Although Delph is a Manchester City player, his relationship with Manchester City is average. Compared with Sterling and Stones, Ali, Lingard and They have a better relationship, so Delph is just an individual, not a Manchester City player in the England team."

Southgate felt that his head was getting bigger: "What can I do..."

Jin Taige said consolingly: "Gareth, you have to understand a truth. These players come to the national team with a unified goal. They are to play for the country and win the game. They don't come to the national team to make friends in a friendly manner! What you have to do is to let everyone temporarily put aside their personal thoughts and unanimously speak out! After they win the World Cup, it doesn’t matter if they go back to the club and want to continue playing!”

Southgate on the other end of the phone didn't speak for a long time. If it wasn't for the indicator light on the phone, Jin Taige would have thought that the other party had hung up.

"Gareth, has the British telecom operator canceled the call charges?" Jin Taige laughed.

After a long time, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tiger, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Jin Taige nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely have a good chat with the English players in the Manchester United team, so that they don't bring the club's grievances to the national team. But how will the effect be, in the end you have to control it in the national team. After all, it’s impossible for me to follow them to Russia all the time.”

"Tiger, I just want you to go to Russia with us!" Southgate's voice was firm.

Kim Tag was stunned. He didn't expect Southgate to say this. He asked inexplicably, "What? Go to Russia? What are you doing? Invite me to watch the game?"

Southgate said seriously: "Tiger, I actually had this idea before I called you. After hearing your explanation about managing the team, my idea became stronger-I want to invite you to join me. coaching team, and become the technical advisor of the England national team!"
