Chapter 65
The press conference ended unhappily.
Back to the team, Wei Le was thinking about how to improve the team's poor management, and on the other hand, he was actually reflecting on his own problems.
To be fair, Wei Le's own coaching experience is actually very shallow. He still stays at the level of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" in terms of how to lead the team, but it is undeniable that he has done well in most aspects.
But rotation has always been something he can't do well.
Perhaps because he has not really studied sports management, Wei Le is not very clear about how to rotate in order to achieve a balance between the team's victory and the players' workload.
So far, there has been no large-scale injury wave among the main players, which is actually a good thing, but no one is an iron man, and everyone will get injured. If the game continues like this, an injury wave will definitely happen.
"You are too stubborn." When Wei Le called to ask about the former head coach Kenny Jackett, Kenny Jackett said, "You designed a set of tactics and thought these people performed very well in this set of tactics, so you keep using it, and keep using it."
"But there are actually some problems, because in this way, the tactics you designed will be particularly rigid. You may be able to surprise your opponents at the beginning, but gradually, they will also study you." Jackett is still concerned about the Wolves' games. In fact, compared with the Wolves, he cares more about the interns who used to be in his team.
"Like these few games, if Jota wasn't in good shape, draws and defeats would have come earlier."
"This shows that they have found some tricks. At least you don't score as many goals as in the beginning." At this point, Jackett sighed, "But you are still ranked second, which is very surprising to me. I thought I knew you, but now it seems that I don't know how strong your ability is."
"It's outrageous. I didn't achieve this result when I led the team. You have achieved this result, but you still come to me to ask questions." Jackett said with a smile. Of course, he was not dissatisfied with Wei Le coming to him for advice.
"There is a saying in China that where the Tao is, the teacher is there." Wei Le explained with a smile, "You have a lot of experience, and I will learn from you anyway."
Jackett sighed, "The culture of your country is really profound."
On the contrary, he was very happy that his former subordinates still valued his opinions. Although Jackett had not really taught Wei Le any experience, the two had a very pleasant working relationship and a private relationship. Wei Le was also capable of making two generations who were decades apart so harmonious.
"You still don't fully trust them." Kenny Jackett's words stunned Wei Le.
"What do you mean?"
"You trust your starting lineup. They are brought by you. Although I don't know where you found them, you have studied them. You believe that they can live up to your expectations." Jackett paused, and then continued, "But those substitutes who used to be in the team, are their strengths really as bad as you think?"
"Your current team is younger than mine. You know that youth means possibility."
"Think about it carefully. Is the team really like you said, with no rotation space at all, and no one is available?"
Wei Le frowned.
Is there really no one available in the team now?
Actually, it's not. For example, winger Joe Mason was also benched by Joao Teixeira at the beginning, but later he performed well in the team's training match, with a higher goal efficiency than Jota and many assists, which made Wei Le think of sending him to the starting lineup.
But what about others?
Wei Le thought carefully. In previous games, players like winger Jordan Graham, who were active in the team last season, basically didn't get a chance this season.
Are they really not qualified to start? Actually, not entirely. They are definitely not as capable as players like Jota and Rodri, but their previous performance is not bad, and they may be ranked in the middle of the league.
"Every player has his own characteristics." Jackett said, "Just like these people you have never paid much attention to, they also have their own shining points, such as Graham, who is actually much faster than Joe Mason."
"This is where you can modify your tactics, and this is also the focus of your work, that is, to personalize your style of play to suit everyone."
Wei Le went over the performance of these players in his mind and found that he didn't know them very well. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. This is simpleI am biased towards new players.
Although the positive ranking makes the team atmosphere very good, we are all young people. People are not worried about the lack of players but the inequality. Everyone is looking forward to the opportunity to compete on the same starting line. If I continue to be biased, forming cliques is still a small matter, I am afraid that morale will be hit.
Jacket did not mention this, but Wei Le felt that all this is possible.
Wei Le felt that he understood a lot, and Jacket also knew that his suggestions had already had an effect on Wei Le. This is also one of the qualities he likes most about Wei Le - Wei Le has a strong ability to understand, he is willing to improve, and more importantly, he is good at improving.
"Using existing resources to do the most things is the character of a qualified head coach."
Before ending the call, Jacket gave Wei Le a sentence.
After hanging up Jacket's phone, assistant coach Celars just walked in and handed over a document.
"Sergio (Perez) and the others said that everyone is very tired now, especially Jota, whose muscles are under great load. In fact, if possible, they suggested that he take a break." Celars said with some concern, "But the next game is against Villa, and I haven't given them definite news."
Wei Le thought about it and made a prompt decision.
"Rest." Wei Le said, "Jota, and other players who the team thinks are a bit overloaded, should take a break in the next game. As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."
Cellars was overjoyed when he heard this.
He has always been a little concerned about Wei Le's non-rotation, but the team's consecutive victories at the time covered up many problems, and he had never communicated with Wei Le.
Now, anyway, Wei Le has figured it out himself, at least it is better than figuring it out after the problem occurs.
"Okay, I'll ask them to come up with a more specific plan."
"Also send me a copy of the substitute player's physical fitness report."
"Okay." Celars left the office.
