Coaching career started as a college team coach

525 also has a story about contact with players.

In reality, the ability and level of players are not quantified by data like in many football games. The data determines the performance on the field.

On the contrary, the performance of players on the field will also be affected by many other factors.

Some football games that focus on simulation, such as the Football Manager FM series, have begun to pay attention to the impact of off-field factors on player performance. FM pioneered the addition of the "morale" system, and the level of morale will indeed affect the performance of players on the field.

For example, Wei Le remembered that when he was playing FM10, he was very impressed by Tottenham's young player Modric. At that time, Modric would propose that he wanted to play for Real Madrid not long after he joined Tottenham.

If he didn't agree, Modric would be demoralized and his performance on the field would plummet.

Renewing the contract was not an option, and Wei Le had no good solution, so he could only let Modric go to Real Madrid in the end.

At that time, Modric had just renewed his contract with Tottenham, and Wei Le was still complaining whether FM's data staff were writing data randomly again.

Unexpectedly, Modric really went to Real Madrid more than a year later.

However, FM's setting for morale is still superficial.

On the one hand, there are too few factors that can affect morale.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no major problem with the contract, the players can always stay happy.

On the other hand, the impact of morale on on-field performance is still too small.

It can only be said that it has a slight impact, but it is still far from being able to absolutely affect the player's situation in the team.

In reality, it often happens that some players have a value of tens of millions in Team A, but they can't even play in Team B.

Wei Le can't help but think, is this really the player's own problem?

Now, Wei Le can answer this question: It can't be said that there is no problem with the player himself, but it is definitely not the case.

Player integration plays at least an important role in it.

Each team plays different tactics, and the team atmosphere is also different, which affects the player's game status, and in the final analysis, it is still "integration".

When a player comes to the team, how quickly can he integrate into the team's established tactical system, how quickly can he join the established social group, and how long does it take to get used to the team's hardware facilities, fan atmosphere, etc.?

All of these affect how long it will take for the player to show his full strength without any scruples.

Language, personality, hobbies, and worldview play a decisive role.

But what can be promoted is the coach's coordination.

In the final analysis, how can we make players willingly play for themselves?

Wei Le thinks he is doing well now.

When Wei Le introduced the players in his current team, he at least talked to them on the phone. For some players, Wei Le personally went to their hometowns to invite them.

This reflects the importance that the team and the coach attach to the players.

The players' ideas are actually very pure and simple.

Since the coach is good to me, I have to repay the coach well.

How to repay? That is to play well.

It is of course troublesome to "run to the grassroots" one by one, and sometimes there will be chaos, but Wei Le thinks it is all worth it. Because he successfully connected people from all over the world with different personalities through a somewhat traditional and tedious job.

Of course, not everyone will do this.

Most head coaches will not do such "tedious" work. Because it is not very troublesome to just "complete" the recruitment work.

The two sides negotiated the price, the football director was responsible for polishing the contract with the agent, and finally the player agreed. After completing the procedures of the management department, the player came to the team.

The process is over.

It can be said that it is not enough to kill or bury.

Doing this can only be said to be almost enough, but it must not be done well.

Imagine that when you come to a strange place thousands of kilometers away from your hometown alone, facing the dilemma of language barriers, you walk out of the airport and don’t know how to get to your accommodation!

How desperate is this?

With such a first impression, how can you have a good impression of your work in this city?

How can you communicate with your superiors without any barriers?

How can you work hard for your leaders?

Let's change the situation. If your boss personally came to you to persuade you to "change jobs", he communicated with you again and again, and after you decided to agree to it, your "next job" arranged everything for you.

They paid for your air ticket, and when you walked out of the airport, you saw the airport reception staff holding your name tag. He would speak your language, take you to the arranged hotel, and tell you how to integrate into this place.city.

The next day you go to your workplace, and the leader you have met many times greets you with a smile and assigns you work.

Is everything different?

Let alone saying thank you and repaying you with your body, at least you will have a much better opinion of your leader.

The education Wei Le received since childhood has taught Wei Le that when interacting with people, you should be sincere to each other.

He has also truly applied it to his current coaching.

When you come into contact with players, you must not deceive them first.

Because you can't deceive them.

Players may not be smart, they may not have high academic qualifications, but they have their own understanding of the world.

Treating players as children and coaxing them will not have good results.

At Ashraf's home, Wei Le expressed the team's need for Ashraf. In the surprised eyes of Ashraf and his mother, Wei Le directly took out a tactical board from his bag.

But Ashraf is not an ordinary person. His eyes lit up and he listened carefully.

"Now, when Wolves are passing the ball from the backcourt, they are more likely to use the full-back's inward-moving style." Wei Le said, pulling the right-back position to the middle and then pushing the left side up.

"But in this way, our right side becomes our weak side. So we need a full-back to take on other tactical functions, such as opening up the width, or even assisting as a half-winger."

Wei Le pushed the full-back position to the front of the wing, pointed at the right-back, and then pointed at Ashraf.

"That's why I like you."

"You are very fast, but our fitness coach told me that you can run faster! If possible, I can even let you break through from the backcourt to the frontcourt on the wing and cut in to shoot!"

Ashraf couldn't help laughing. This is indeed a very large tactical freedom, but this is exactly what he wants!

To be honest, Ashraf thinks Wei Le is "very suitable". Especially when he just took out the tactical board, Ashraf's favorability was full.

If Wei Le told him a lot of touching and repetitive words, Ashraf would probably ask him to leave - Ashraf is the kind of player who can't be "cheated".

He has his own clear ideas about career planning, and he knows very well what he wants to get at this stage. And now Wei Le got straight to the point and told him directly that the Wolves' "training plan" for him was exactly what he wanted.
