Chapter 37 Compaure's Practice
(PS: There will be a chapter later.)
After Lille missed the quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain also fell on the way from the quarter-finals to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. The clubs representing the French League in the Europa League this season have all been eliminated.

Among the other events in the second round of the Europa League knockout round, it is worth noting that Dynamo Kyiv defeated Manchester City 2:1 to advance to the quarterfinals with two goals at home. Porto defeated the Russian giants CSKA Moscow 3:1 on aggregate. Ajax, one of the overlords of the Eredivisie, lost 2:5 away, 0:3 at home, and lost 0:1 to Sparta Moscow in the two rounds. Of course, this has a lot to do with Ajax not paying much attention to the game.

Losing the game and missing out on qualifying for the next round of the Europa League, the Paris Saint-Germain players naturally felt bad.After the game, captain Makelele said in an interview with French TV: "This result makes us very sad. All members of Paris Saint-Germain are like this. The frustration in Portugal in the first leg made us work very hard in the past week, but now we still lost, losing this crucial game for us."

"When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, I didn't really recover and I didn't want to believe it, but that's football, we were unlucky, that's part of football, I've been through more than that in my career, but I still feel bad."

After Makelele, Nene talked about the game in front of the camera and said: "I feel lost for myself and my teammates. In the second half, we tried every means to find a way to break through the opponent's goal, but we didn't have the luck to score goals. The final result is like this."

"It's always painful to lose such an important game. In the first half hour of the game, we played passively, which made us very uncomfortable. The situation of the game became difficult for us to control, so we lost the first goal."

"Although the situation has become very unfavorable to us, none of us was discouraged. Bodmer did a good job. He helped us equalize the score. In the second half, we kept changing forwards.

After the players, another person who expressed his thoughts to the media was the head coach Combore. He did not comment on his tactical arrangements, but when talking about the game itself, he said: "We started badly and conceded the ball early. This is the last thing I want to accept. We have five defenders and two defensive midfielders. This makes me very angry, but the game is like this. We don’t know what will happen. We didn't create too many chances. But I have to admit that it has a lot to do with myself, I don't want to blame the players, but I still think that whether it is defense or attack, we can do better."

"In the end, I'm really proud of our team, proud of us for being in the Europa League and thank you to the fans for their support. We will come back, learn from this game and I'm sure we can do better next season."

The next day's "French Football" also uncharacteristically criticized Paris Saint-Germain.

The players on the field and the head coach off the field did not escape the sharp language of "French Football News", including Bodmer who scored the equalizer for the team. The article pointed out that although the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder equalized the score for the team, it still could not change his embarrassment that he was basically invisible in the subsequent games.

At the end of the article, the editor expressed his incomprehension that the club failed to qualify for the Europa League for Wang Zi.

One word awakened the angry Paris Saint-Germain fans, which brought their dissatisfaction to the peak. A large number of angry fans of the team even complained about Wang Zi who could not participate in the club's official website message area.

Among the excellent clubs in the major leagues with larger fan bases and deeper foundations, these criticisms are more prominent. In Ligue [-], Paris Saint-Germain must be one of them.

Wrong tactics, bad employment, when fans lost a game that they could have fought for victory, the overwhelming doubts were amplified several times. As the head coach, Compaure was the one who was at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

Therefore, as the head coach of such a club, in addition to having the ability to lead the team to triumph all the way, you must also be able to face the pressure brought by the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of fans at any time.

For this, Combore has done a good job. After admitting his mistakes generously, even if the outside world still doubts and criticizes him, this will not affect him to continue to do a good job as a coach every day. Just keep a deaf ear to other negative news.

The pressure is great, but life has to go on, training has to go on, games have to go on, everything has to go on.

All doubts and dissatisfaction are nothing more than suppressing these with one victory after another, turning the pressure into motivation, and then counterattacking with results, counterattacking some arrogant and ignorant "fans" who are clinging to infinitely magnifying the gains and losses of a game.

Combore thought so.

-

The head coach Compaure was doing what he was supposed to do all day like a normal person, and the assistant coach Clemente didn't have such a good attitude, and he seemed preoccupied on the training ground. .

Seeing his assistant's unlovable expression all day long, Compaure joked and asked, "Why? Are you more stressed than me?"

"No, I just feel that we have already lost one game, and we have to face Marseille in the next league game. If something happens again, it will be really difficult." Clement was a little worried.

Comporé rolled his eyes at his assistant coach and said, "You bastard, crow's mouth? Can't you think of something better? It's not even game day yet, and you start worrying about losing."

"Aren't you worried? Compared with Marseille, what we need now is a weak opponent, and the players must regain their confidence." Clement said innocently.

"Uh...that's the reason, but do you think they need it?" Compaore pointed to the players on the training ground, and then asked Clement.

Looking at the group of talking and laughing guys on the training ground, one or two were still unhappy two days ago, Clement was speechless, thinking, this ability to resist pressure is too good, so he said helplessly: "Well, pretend I didn't say it."

"Paul, after all, you used to be a professional player. You have seen that professional player who would remain silent because of a loss in a game. If you really have such a mentality, then you should stay away from football games as soon as possible. Winning or losing is too normal in this game. Losing is not terrible. The terrible thing is that because of losing, you have been trapped in negative emotions and can't get out."

"Failure is used to motivate us, not to bring us down."

Combore patted Clement on the shoulder.

"Besides, what if our next opponent is Marseille? Clasico? Are we not as strong as them?"

"But..." Clemente's mind was no longer on the game itself.

How could Compaore not know what the assistant in front of him was thinking, felt a little funny, and said: "Okay, nothing to worry about, we will win Marseille just like a few months ago, if we really lose, wouldn't I still be here? You can rest assured."
