song of the saints

Chapter 99 Persistence
Chen Zhun looked at the faces in the locker room that looked as if they had been slapped by frost, and heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't know where to get angry, and his mood gradually calmed down.He really couldn't bear to criticize these players. They also wanted to prove to Chen Zhun with their performance on the field, but the way of performance was too aggressive.Chen Zhun should have thought of these situations in advance, but he didn't consider any aspects.The root of everything is his fault.

Chen Zhun walked slowly to the middle of the locker room, which was his position. He liked the feeling of being surrounded by players, a unique feeling.

Clearing his throat and speaking slowly, Chen Zhun spoke again.

"You guys played very well, but this is England! Just because you have the advantage, doesn't mean you can win the game. Although you lost the game today, you really understand the horror of the English team. I think this is Good thing! Also, you have to remember that after ten of you are on the court, you are a whole, but fighting alone. I can’t see your cooperation off the court, which is very bad. Don’t do something in vain to cater to me things. Keep up the good work, lads! Welcome to England!"

After Chen Zhun finished speaking, he waved to the team members and motioned them to sit down.Then I told the players one by one what I thought of them in this game.

"Hey Russ (Diarra), you did a great job today, but if you play more defensively than offensively in the next game, I think you will be even better, remember, you are on the field. The position is a midfielder." Chen Zhun sat next to the young Diarra and said patiently.In the previous life, Diarra was joked by the majority of netizens that he had a heart to become Zidane, but it was because of this mentality that Diarra's career was not brilliant for a long time after all.So here Chen Zhun wants to change Diarra's game habits so that he has a real chance to become the next "Makelele".

Diarra nodded to Chen Zhun's words, and then showed regret in his eyes, it seemed that he was also very dissatisfied with his performance.Judging from the performance on the field, Diarra's performance is indeed unsatisfactory. One of the goals conceded was caused by Diarra's over-sticking the ball.

Diarra said in a low tone: "I'm sorry, boss, my performance was terrible, but thank you for not replacing me, I hope you will not be disappointed in me! I will definitely perform well!"

Chen Zhun looked at the immature Diarra with a smile on his face, and comforted him: "Work hard and let me see your performance in training. The competition here is fierce, but as long as you work hard, you will be able to win." There must be a chance!"

Afterwards, Chen Zhun exchanged views with several other players, and then went to the post-match press conference.
-
"Hi Mr. David Winston, this humiliating defeat has disappointed the Southampton fans and the board, and questioned your winter signings, what do you want to say!"

"My players performed very well on the field. The responsibility for the loss belongs to me. I underestimated the enemy. It's that simple. Here, I want to say sorry to the fans who love me! I hope they understand!"

"As far as we know! The Southampton team's board of directors has a requirement. It is the goal of the cup. One of the championships must be won. Now that the FA Cup is out, will it affect your coaching position?"

"Isn't there still the League Cup!"

"The opponent in the League Cup is Liverpool, are you so confident!"

"I'm very confident!"

"Mr. David Winston, please look forward to the Premier League with Newcastle United!"

"win!"

After Chen Zhunyun said these two words calmly, he got up and left the press room, leaving it to some reporters who just wanted to ask questions. Of course, they are no longer surprised.

The head coach is always like this, one battle becomes a god, one battle becomes a citizen, just between the first battle, he has to bear the guidance of public opinion, he has to bear the pressure of the fans, he has to manage the relationship between the players well, and he has to set the most reasonable It seems that the head coach is like a machine, and he will work hard for it all his life.

At this moment, Chen Zhun finally understood why Mourinho in the previous life turned his head white overnight when he was coaching Real Madrid, and why Ferguson's hands trembled in the Champions League against Barcelona. A true portrayal of a coach.

The neon lights outside the car window light up quietly, adding some warmth to the endless night.

Chen Zhun didn't drive today, but took a taxi home. Leaning on the back of the car, he watched the scenery outside through the window.

Quiet street, sparse crowd, cold winter wind, faint moonlight.

Chen Zhun's mood has already drifted to China, thousands of miles away, where a young man who cherishes his heart is waiting for his call, waiting to return to his hometown.Chen Zhun didn't know how he felt when he easily agreed to the real David Winston's request, he just knew that maybe with David Winston coming, everything would be better.

Close your eyes, a gust of wind blows in your ears, calm down, and listen to the loneliness and desolation of the wind, just like Chen Zhun's mood.

The driver knew that the customer was the head coach of the Southampton team. After deliberating for a long time, he finally said what was in his heart.

"I know who you are, and I know you're in a bad mood, but we fans don't have any thoughts of disappointment in you, we see the future, we know it's going to take time, and it's going to take failure, David Winston Sir, please persevere! Don't leave St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton need you!"

Chen Zhun kept his eyes closed and listened to the driver's words. After the driver finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the driver, and said, "Thank you, I'm not going anywhere. I will fight until the last moment! You What is your name!"

The driver was very excited when he heard David Winston asking his name. As a low-level commoner, it is already very lucky to meet such a person, let alone being able to chat a few words now occur.

The driver said with a slightly trembling voice because of his excitement: "I am. My name is Al Taylor."

"Hello, Al, I invite you to watch the game at home next time, and I will give you a ticket then!"

Al couldn't believe his ears, opened his mouth wide, and shouted: "Oh! Mygod! Is this true!! Crazy!"

Chen Zhun said with a smile: "Al, it's true, I really appreciate your support! Well, I'm home! See you then!"

Before Al recovered, Chen Zhun had already opened the door and got out of the car, and took one of his business cards, and the fare for this time was neatly placed on the seat.Al looked at these cars that hadn't been driven for a long time, and murmured, "May God bless Southampton, bless you, Mr. David Winston!"

Chen Zhun watched Al's car disappear into the night, with tears still in the corners of his eyes.Seeing Al's appearance, he thought of his father, who was also a taxi driver, a hard-working driver.
