From country team to giant

Chapter 803 Believe In Them
Steven was very disappointed, and Koch also saw it.

There was silence in the whole room, and Steven started pulling his hair out again.

Seeing this scene, Koch couldn't help but said, "Are you going to become a bald head like Christopher?"

Hearing this, Steven raised his head and smiled bitterly: "But I don't have any ideas, I don't know how to win!"

"Aren't you doing it?" Koch said.

what?
Steven was a little dazed.

Koch sighed: "You and Christopher both have this problem. Both of you have a strong desire to control, but that guy knows how to be flexible than you. Don't look at that guy who fights every day, but he clearly knows what he should do. Unlike you, it's like a red wine bottle. The mouth of the bottle is tightly blocked!"

Steven aggrieved: "I'm already very sad, and you still hit me!"

"Hahahaha!!" Koch laughed a few times, and said, "I want you to know how to be flexible, don't always think about what tactics to use for sneak attacks, and let the players feel confident and bold, and let them lead the direction of the game."

"What do you mean?"

Steven didn't understand.

Koch explained: "What kind of foundation do you think a giant team in the Champions League should have?"

"Terrible strength!" Steven said directly.

Koch nodded and said, "Then where did these strengths come from?"

Steven blinked and said, "Strong players! Strong tactics!"

Koch smiled: "You are right. Players are strong. If you want to move to a higher stage, you naturally need better players. Football is a sport that requires talent. Many players have worked hard all their lives, but they really can't keep up with some talented players."

"But the strength of tactics is open to question."

After a pause, Koch continued; "In my opinion, the process of a team becoming stronger is not the evolution process of its own strong tactics, but the search for a tactics that suits itself."

"Some teams are suitable for defensive counterattack, some are suitable for pass and control, and some are suitable for total attack and total defense. There is no tactic that can be eliminated in this world. As long as this tactic is honed to the extreme, it still has the possibility of overturning any strong team."

"And isn't that what Hoffenheim is doing now?"

Koch looked at Steven and said: "I said your head is blocked, you are saying that your thoughts are confused, you have done a good job before, why are you troubled now?"

"The intensity increase in the Champions League semi-finals, you must be wondering, what is the intensity increase here?"

Hearing this, Steven nodded again and again, he was struggling with this problem.

In this regard, Koch laughed; "It's very simple, the outbreak after hard work!"

"The stage of the semi-finals is not used for the previous group matches or any knockout matches. Here, the atmosphere of the Champions League becomes very strong and abnormal, and the state of the players will also rise with this atmosphere. The increase in the intensity of the Champions League semi-finals is not intentionally induced, but a natural thing."

"The teams that have been fighting for a season, all their efforts will start to explode in the semi-finals, and the key to this explosion is in your hands!"

"Key?" Steven blinked in confusion.

Koch said: "Pre-war mobilization, morale boosting, fans cheering, these are all fine, as long as the morale of the players is lifted."

"In a game, some peculiar tactical arrangements will attract huge attention, but this is not the foundation of a strong team." Koch continued, "If the team wants to be strong, they must have a foundation, a tactic they are familiar with and can gather their strength together and explode!"

"The current Hoffenheim meets this condition." Koch laughed; "So, don't think too much about the problem, try to put your confidence in the players and learn to trust them. After all, compared to the coaches, the players are the main players who dominate the direction of the game!"

Steven pondered for a moment and said, "Then I don't do anything?"

"Of course not!" Koch waved his hand: "Your work is very important, such as preparing a beautiful pre-war mobilization speech."

"To be able to reach the semi-final stage of the Champions League, the four teams are all here for the championship. They will not be careless enough to allow you to play sneak attacks. From a certain point of view, they have even thoroughly studied your tactical characteristics. When both sides are familiar with each other, the key to determining the direction of the game comes from the players themselves."

"So, feel free to hand it over to those children, they are excellent and trustworthy!"

After Koch finished speaking, he looked at Steven again.

He could clearly feel that Steven's expression was no longer so serious, obviously this guy really listened.

This made Koch couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Although, his friendship with Christopher is also very good, but now that guy is an enemy.

Even if the friendship is good, Koch is biased towards Hoffenheim.

Koch said: "Go, your players need you, you don't need to do anything, you just stand there and let them see you. If you are good at performing, then you can make yourself look relaxed so that the players will not have too much pressure."

Steven took a deep breath and let it out slowly again.

Then he got up and bowed to thank him, and then left the office.

After Steven left, Koch turned his head and looked out the window, the sun was dazzling.

Koch couldn't help smiling and said, "These kids are getting better and better, the German Super League! Champions League! Hehehehe. Who would have thought that Hoffenheim would reach the semi-finals of the Champions League one day!"

After Steven left, he headed to the training ground.

Wagner hurried over and asked, "Did Koch tell you the way?"

Steven nodded.

Wagner said pleasantly; "I'll blow the assembly whistle right away."

Steven stopped directly.

Wagner didn't understand why: "Are there no tactical meetings?"

"No!" Steven shook his head and said, "That's it, we'll just stay here and do whatever we need!"

Wagner didn't understand, but he did.

The players also saw the head coach standing on the sidelines, but strangely, there was no assembly whistle blown, let alone a tactical meeting.

That's the end of the day's training.

Before leaving the training ground, Steven and the coaching staff stood on both sides of the training ground, and they high-fived each player.

Each one is very hard, accompanied by crisp movements, in addition to the tingling sensation from the palm, there is also an inexplicable sense of motivation.

They can't say anything about this feeling, but overall it's good.

After returning to the locker room, Steven did not make any speeches.

He shuttled between the players, asking for their health.

Even some substitute players are taken care of.

Although the players feel a little weird, they don't reject it.
