397 Retreat
"Our offensive tactics are still too rigid. Passing and running balance is very important, but why not reuse Rodgers? He is our team hopes, and you agree with this. We can fully utilize Rodgers' abilities and increase the frequency of the offense used by reading options."
"Absolutely. Of course. Passing and offense is our tactical core. I am in the West Coast offensive system style. There is no doubt that I believe very, very much, very much in Rogers' passing ability, Mr. Thompson, even more confident than you. I just hope to give him more time to grow. Maybe, we can make more attempts next."
"Yes, yes, I also think Rodgers' passing ability is the real killer. He may be the best passer in our ten years. Then, we will follow your tactical ideas and increase the pass ratio and the West Coast offensive tactical system. No problem, I can accept the West Coast. In addition, I think Jennings' performance is good and he can win more opportunities."
"Totally agree. We have a strong wide receiver lineup, if not made good use of it, it would be a waste, and we should try more different routes and running combinations."
“Yes, right, make the most of their abilities and make different attempts.”
"In my opinion, Jennings is more speedy, and his ability to pull out gaps in the running is more outstanding. He is more suitable for running near the sides of the wings; Jones is stronger and more suitable for confrontation. On the passing route in the central area, he can find more opportunities through his confrontation ability. Therefore, we should let Jennings and Jones use their strengths to build more advantages for passing offense."
"Well... makes sense. I also think Jennings performed better on both sides. So, why not let Jones and Nelson work together in the central area. I think Jones is also worth cultivating and may grow into a top wide receiver."
"A wise choice, Mr. Thompson."
"Ha, it seems we're on the same track, which is a good thing for the team."
Look, for Lu Yiqi, dealing with Thompson has never been a difficult task.
Thompson showed a big smile on his face, and his upper body leaned over from above the desk, patted Lu Yiqi on the shoulder, "I deserve to be the coach I like." A satisfied expression slowly penetrated, completely devouring the previous pressure and neglect, and he was not stingy with his praise.
Originally, Thompson thought Lu Yiqi was a proud and proud person. After successfully joining the NFL head coach, he couldn't tell the difference between the east, west, south and north under the spotlight. He expanded his confidence into pride and looked down on his advice. So he planned to have a shocking education to let Lu Yiqi understand who is the real power in the team who gave orders. He was a little worried that today would be a tough battle, and then the dragon gate formation was set up at the beginning.
But a little surprised that things went so smoothly, Lu Yiqi accepted his point of view and had a good attitude. Not only did he not rebelliously, but he also cooperated with each other. Everything was in his expectations for the negotiations, and his mood immediately became clear and comfortable.
Thompson was very satisfied and couldn't help but sigh again, but his vision was unique.
"How about it, how are you prepared for a tough battle in the end?" Thompson also decided to show his support. After all, this is the head coach he selected. "Although we are experiencing a series of losses, everyone is very confident in the next game. No matter what problems they encounter, come to me."
Without Lu Yiqi speaking, Thompson took the initiative to speak, "If there is any discordant sound in the locker room, come and tell me that even Rogers and Woodson, I can talk to them in person and make them shut up. We need to fully support your work."
Lu Yiqi showed a modest smile and joked half-jokingly, "Very good, I know what to do now." After saying that, he blinked sinisterly.
Thompson laughed heartily, slid down the desk and stood up, bypassed the desk and took the initiative to escort Lu Yiqi out of the office, "Then I won't disturb your daily work anymore. As far as I know, your daily life is extremely fulfilling. At this time, it takes up your twenty minutes, and I'm afraid you will be busier next."
"Don't worry, I will double my search on the training ground from the players." Lu Yiqi's humor made Thompson laugh again.
Countless eyes in the office were projected, and it was obvious that the low pressure was tight and anxious. It seemed that everyone was waiting for a result; but the scene of chatting and laughing was obviously beyond expectations, and Thompson personally escorted Lu Yiqi to the elevator.
Previously, everyone was speculating that the dilemma of four consecutive losses might make Thompson lose control and pour all the pressure on Lu Yiqi. This should be the biggest crisis since Lu Yiqi took office. It can be imagined that if Lu Yiqi was swept out in a mess, his situation within the team would probably be even more difficult. After all, he lacked prestige and background. In everyone's sight, he was Thompson's puppet.
But the result is surprising.
Not only was Lu Yiqi unscathed, but Thompson also smiled. What kind of magic is this?
In a trance, I couldn't help but have an illusion that the team was experiencing four consecutive victories rather than four consecutive losses. So, what exactly did Lu Yiqi do?
The sights that fell on Lu Yiqi were full of curiosity and exploration, and the shock doubled. In just one morning, the news spread to the Green Bay Packers. Everyone confirmed something, and Lu Yiqi was not in trouble as expected.
Even Thompson, who was already covered in clouds and on the verge of an outbreak, became kind and friendly. How did Lu Yiqi do it?
From players to coaches, to staff, everyone has their own measurement and abacus in their hearts, and the atmosphere of the team has undergone subtle changes, and invisibly condenses in the direction of Lu Yiqi again - this rookie coach is definitely not as simple as imagined.
Silently, Lu Yiqi resolved another crisis and turned it into an opportunity. Next, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity to complete the transformation: not just victory, but also the change in the team's temperament - the change of "the winner is the king, the loser is the bandit".
For Lu Yiqi, it is no difficulty to deal with Thompson, it is a piece of cake; the real problem is the team, because people's hearts are the most difficult to figure out, and the rugby team has fifty-three players. Even if his mathematical ability is outstanding, he cannot calculate the psychology and mentality of fifty-three people.
