Chapter 225 I belong here!
Wansheng glanced at everyone's eyes and thought.
He spoke, "A month ago, I had dinner with Mr. Wadel, we talked about Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc., and we talked about us."
Everyone's attention was drawn.
"We discussed the gap between us and Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams," Wan Sheng asked. "So, what's the gap between us and them?"
Everyone was thinking blankly and didn't react for a while.
Wan Sheng gave the answer directly, "The foundation of a wealthy family! We are not a wealthy family, we lack foundation!" Everyone nodded when they heard this answer.
Compared with Manchester United and Liverpool, the top English giants like England, Manchester City does lack foundation, which is the accumulation of a century-old giant. Because of this, even if Manchester City has a good record for a while, it is still regarded as a sudden rise by the media... Meteor, yes, Meteor, Meteor can only be brilliant for a moment, and there will always be a time to disappear, while the glory of the giants can last.
This is the difference.
But Wan Sheng said, "I don't agree with this point of view! I want to ask you, what is the foundation? Who can tell me?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
It was Ivan Kreu who stood up and said directly, "Boss, I think it is the champion, many champions! Manchester United has countless champions, and Liverpool is the same, so they are giants."
Wan Sheng nodded and said, "Maybe it is right. But Newcastle United has many championships in history, and Nottingham Forest also has them. They are all wealthy families with backgrounds. Why can't their results improve? Take Newcastle United for example. They invest a lot in the transfer market every year, at least not worse than Liverpool, but they are much worse than Liverpool's performance! Is this a club recruitment issue or a head coach's ability issue?"
Everyone was a little confused.
"No, over the years, they have replaced one head coach after another, and there are always strong head coaches. They are also constantly investing in the transfer market, but their results have never been improved. This is no longer just a problem for clubs and coaches. So I ask again, what can the foundation bring?"
Others don’t know how to answer, everyone wants to hear what Wansheng said.
Looking at everyone's serious expressions, Wan Sheng said, "I think that background can bring cohesion and a sense of honor. Every player in a wealthy family will think that I belong here, which is very important. They regard themselves as a member of the team. The victory or defeat of the team is related to their personal honor. To be blunt, they regard the team as home!"
"This is a wealthy family!"
"Many teams are just springboards for players to become famous, such as some mid-range teams, including us, which are springboards for players. After the small club becomes famous, many players hope to enter the big club and enter the giant team. So, when they are in the small club, they will not regard there as home, they will not combine the team's honor and personal honor, nor will they think that - I belong here!"
Wan Sheng said it very seriously, and many players started to think after hearing this.
In the past, many people hope to perform well, but they don’t care much about the team’s victory or defeat. But in fact, this is a promoting effect. When everyone in the team thinks so, the whole team will perform well, so that the team can win more games.
But what about losing?
Perhaps some players don’t care at all because they perform well in the game. When the media criticizes the team, they will not criticize them, but instead praise their performance.
Therefore, many players only care about their performance and not the team's victory or defeat.
It is worth pondering now that the coach puts forward this point of view. So, do they regard the team as home? Do they belong here? Or, as the coach said, they are just a springboard for the team to the giants?
When everyone thinks this way, the team's performance will definitely be affected!
Many people are trapped in thinking.
At this time, Wan Sheng continued, "For us, strength is not lacking. Each of you is very capable. Our lineup is no worse than that of the wealthy, but I dare say that we are not a wealthy family now! This is not because of the so-called "honor of history", but many of you do not think that they belong here. The team lacks cohesion and collective sense of honor, which is what we are worse!"
"I said that this is not something that you want to think about in the game, everything is for the whole team. When you are on the court, you can play whatever you want, but I hope you will think about it. I hope that my players, everyone, are treated as home by the team, when you all think that they belong here, even if we don't have any championships, we are also a wealthy family!"
"Okay, the time is over, let's prepare to appear!"
Wan Sheng didn't say more. He knew that players could not digest these in a short time. He only hoped that they would have a belief and let them think about it, so that many people who seemed a little "selfish" in the game would think about the team. If everyone had a sense of honor, could think about the team, and could treat the team as "home" and have a higher sense of belonging, then Manchester City would be invincible!
Manchester City players got up and left the locker room.
Before weekdays, some of them will feel depressed, some will joke, and some will walk to the field dullly, just preparing to play. Before any game, they will all fall into thinking.
Along the way, they were recalling what Wansheng said.
Do you have a sense of belonging to the team?
Do you belong here?
Is the team's honor its own?
They thought.
Now is the Manchester derby, and it is also the top battle in the Premier League. The whole world is paying attention to this game. Before the game, I was thinking about performing well to get more attention. So is the team's victory or defeat important to me?
They don't know.
Some people simply disdain Wan Sheng's words. Instead, they know that what the coach is right, because they don't regard the team as their own. They just want to perform well and win more attention.
But there are not many such players in the team.
In particular, many players have a respect for Wan Sheng more than 100, which shows their absolute trust in Wan Sheng. After Wan Sheng finished speaking, they all fell into thinking and believed that they should find a sense of belonging and the honor of the entire team. They should regard the team as home.
Now is the time to fight for the ‘home’!
Losing is equivalent to humiliation!
Only victory can bring honor!
