Step by Step to Win

Chapter 34: student

   On the edge of the court, the stoppage time sign has been raised. The fans on the sidelines are also screaming hoarsely at the end. Sitting on the side of the court, Yuji Nakano watched the unfinished game, his thoughts drifting away.

"Over the years, Japanese football has placed too much emphasis on obedience. Players in the locker room have to obey the coach, obey their predecessors, execute orders on the field, and be unwavering. Under the long-term cultural influence, Japanese football has also developed. A very bad habit-yielding. This kind of yielding has a good effect on the internal management of the team, but it is not so good for the spirit of the players on the court."

   Oshima did not say anything. The Japanese team has had this problem for a long time. There has been a lot of discussion in the football world, and Oshima is not unaware.

   Japanese people have always been polite, and they think they are the most respectful society that respects the relationship between superiors and subordinates. This kind of social relationship is reflected in various circles in Japan, even when it comes to football. In the big picture, this kind of problem retains the nian merit sequence, which is angered by the football community as a remnant of feudalism, while in the small part, it is the rigid dogmatism that the players know that some commands are wrong and must be implemented.

   In Japanese sports cartoons, it has been shown that in certain sports, the coach deliberately arranged to fail. The players clearly saw it, but no one dared to object. In reality, there are some similar situations. Japanese players follow tactical arrangements on the court, and they also know how to respect coaches and old players off the court. But obedience also makes Japanese players have a clear lack of fighting spirit in the face of adversity and crisis. Also as East Asian football, it is no secret that the Japanese are always slightly weaker in willpower than the Koreans are tough.

  Football is not a thing that can be completely mechanized. Technology and statistics can show the average level of a player, but it cannot show the level of a player at a critical moment. When someone needs to come forward at a critical moment, everyone still thinks about respecting the elders, observing the order, and not violating the coach's wrong arrangement, then the ball will not be able to play.

   Football is called a sport of the working class. No one has ever called football a gentleman sport. Too much etiquette should not exist in football.

   The Japanese have noticed this problem a long time ago, but there has been no effective method in Japan. Japan’s class differentiation is deeply rooted in the bones. Even in the football team, the players who join the team early one year later and one year later are obviously different-there are already problems from the social and cultural level, depending on the football level alone. How can it be possible to eliminate the hard work? In professional football teams, the transfer fee should be based on the players’ years of playing, and the salary should be based on the length of service. The income has been divided into classes. How can it change the mental attitude?

   This problem has been plagued by Nakano Yuji. As the coach of the Japanese college football team, he may not be the highest level coach in Japan, but he has always been very serious about youth training. He has already noticed the lack of mental strength of Japanese players on the court, but he has been unable to do anything about it. What should be done to make the players have enough energy? He is also puzzled.

   He can't encourage the players to do their own things on the field-tactical execution ability is one of the foundations of Japanese football, and this aspect cannot be dismantled. But if you don't remove these, how can you make the players have the courage to persist?

  Until today, Yuji Nakano has seen different things.

"Oshima-kun, I don’t think the fault lies with you today. Your selection has your standards and your ideas. I support you. But I appreciate this player. He has the courage to resist authority. , This is very rare. He will not back down because you are a coach on the court, so on the court he will not retreat because the opponent is strong. My arrangement is because I want to know if this is the case, and I also want to know this Can this spirit be distributed to my players. I also want to know how I can better train players."

   Oshima is silent. He has always regarded himself as a coach and treated this issue as a conflict between players and coaches. But how to extend this issue to the chronic illness of Japanese football, he has not thought about it.

   And thinking of this question, he also thought of Gao Shunyao's goal just now.

   Gao Shunyao's goal is very beautiful, but such a goal is not enough to surprise people. But Gao Shunyao did not give up in the second half, maybe it was what really surprised Nakano Yuji

   The outcome of this game, Yuji Nakano had already anticipated. It is not very common for a 1-3 to come back, and he did not expect a miracle. He also knows that such an idea is definitely not his alone on the court. In the second half of the white team, even if they have the advantage, there is no decent advance attack, as if they have accepted the destiny of defeat-his team. The tranquility that has been shown after numerous encounters with strong teams is commonplace.

  Oshima has seen that emotion too many times, and he is even a little numb. This situation is no longer an isolated phenomenon.

   But this time is different because there is Gao Shunyao.

Even if his teammates didn’t give enough support, even if he was 1-3 behind in the game, and he was still treated unfairly, Gao Shunyao on the court did not give up at all. He was always thinking about how to score a goal. To save face, in order to score this goal, he can choose to guide his own tactics and no longer follow the already hopeless style of play. This last-minute persistence and the courage to drive teammates' efforts made Oshima see. The shadow of hard work.

   This kind of temperament is difficult for Japanese professional players to have. Social problems determine the mental outlook of Japan, and it is difficult for them to dig out these things by themselves.

"You think he is very rude—Japanese people always say the same about Chinese—but from another perspective, maybe it’s okay to use'equality' to describe his thoughts. The Greeks have long said that truth is more important than teachers. But the Japanese football world lacks the courage to question authority. This is our shortcoming, and we have to learn to correct it. We can learn from South Korea, and we can’t refuse to learn Chinese football if we are employed — only learning can make progress.”

After the goal, Gao Shunyao's cheers also reminded Nakano Yuji: Maybe what I need is not to let the team have the spirit of resistance, but to cultivate a spiritual pillar so that he can influence other people in the team. Lead them to victory?

   The power of role models is endless, maybe this is the right direction.

Now that he figured this out, he also understood why Nakano Yuuji wanted Gao Shunyao to join the team to play for his team. He regarded Gao Shunyao as a variable, an uncertain factor, and the first object of his own experiment. . Putting a variable in such a locker room might change something? Yuji Nakano is not sure, nor is Oshima.

   But compared to Oshima, Nakano Yuji chose to take a gamble.

   Gao Shunyao is a variable, and variable means instability. If it is another team, it is estimated that such a variable will not be easily put in one's own team: an unstable variable may mean good things, but it may also mean bad things. A team that wants to win the championship definitely wants to be stable. How can such a team tolerate such a big change? A player may be a booster for the team, but it may also be a time bomb. Such a player is absolutely afraid to stay in a championship team.

   But the Circulation University of Economics is different from other teams-for ordinary college teams, the goal is to win the college league, and for those JFL teams, the goal is to win the JFL championship and advance to the J2 level. But these two are meaningless for the University of Circulation Economics. They were also amateur teams and could not advance to J2. They should pay more attention to growth, not achievement. The purpose of this school from the beginning is to train players, so only they will use such players.

   And this player is also very necessary for them.

   In comparison, Oshima is just selecting players. Yuji Nakano is thinking more about the future of his team. The arrival of new players is a good thing, and at first it is obviously more important than the strength of the new players and the change in the overall temperament of the team.

   Listening to his analysis, Oshima stopped talking. These are things that Oshima did not expect. He always thought that he had already thought far-reaching from the team, but he did not expect that Yuji Nakano's thinking was directly from the perspective of football training. Now I heard what he said, Oshima. I also know my shortcomings.

   Compared to the best coaches, perhaps the shortcomings of coaches like myself are not ability, but courage and deep-sightedness.

   "Okay, I will follow your arrangement. But I also suggest you to consider carefully, because a little carelessness, he may also be an uneasy factor, if he does not help the team, but the opposite bad effect..."

"We will fire him immediately." Yuji Nakano immediately took it, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "There is no doubt about this." Anyway, Oshima is also his own assistant coach, and Yuji Nakano doesn't want his face. It was too ugly. When he heard him let go, he immediately gave him down the steps.

   Oshima did not speak any more, he was satisfied with that.

"So, don't froze, Oshima, come with me. Let us congratulate our new players-from now on, he is a member of the JFL team's Circulation University of Economics representative team!" Nakano Yuji patted his assistant, and watched his assistant stand still, he also spoke again, "Oshima-kun, will you still refuse to apologize?"

   Looking at his assistant coach, Yuji Nakano sighed.

"Oshima, you have to recognize your mistakes. We are engaged in youth football. We can't deny a player in our hearts just because of our own likes and dislikes. Some things may be trivial things in our opinion, but they are right. For others, it is a big thing for a lifetime. Your job is related to other people’s dreams. This is not a trivial matter. Because of your own likes and dislikes, the future development of a player is cut off. Such things are not what a youth football coach should do. Come on. The people trained here are all children who work hard for their dreams. You can tell them their lack of strength, but you should not label them in your heart-I am not friendly to you today, and you will find it difficult to accept it. Think about it. Think, did you do the right thing?"

   "I didn't mean that...thank you." Oshima blushed, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. After a long time, he bowed deeply.

   In front of Yuji Nakano, maybe it's not just students on the court.
