Chapter 17 Xiaobai's Psychological Problems

Notts County lost in the two games in London. Whether it is Queens Park Rangers or Crystal Palace, they are both strong teams in the British Championship, and they can even be said to be quasi-Premier League teams. Facing Notts County, which still needs time to adjust , winning with ease.

However, the two games were not without bright spots. Hubner, an older and more demonic guy, maintained a very good state. He took advantage of the few opportunities to score consecutive games and became the most stable point in the team.

The midfielder that David placed high hopes on showed some control. Although Alonso has not yet achieved great success in rhythm control, compared to other English teams who only know how to run rampant, Notts County at least knows how to play. The situation changes tempo, which is exactly what Love is after.

After returning to London, the team carried out intensive technical and tactical training as usual, and even practiced three times a day in order to strengthen the training effect. Teeth persisted.

As the team's assistant coach, David is obviously incompetent, because he can't appear on the training ground most of the time, but he also plays the role of psychological counselor occasionally.

After a day of training, Iniesta knocked on the door and walked into David's office.

Seeing Iniesta's hesitant to speak, David smiled. In his previous life, he was used to Iniesta's elegant and artistic performance on the court, and he always brought it in unconsciously, but now Iniesta Ta is just a 17-year-old kid.

"Andres, what's the matter? Do you need help?" David asked with a smile as he pushed Iniesta on the sofa and sat across from him again.

For the players introduced in the summer, the club agreed to arrange for them to live in an apartment close to the club's training base, and invited English teachers to teach them English. There are psychological fluctuations, which David had expected.

"Mr. David." Iniesta plucked up his courage and said to David: "Although I may make you feel cowardly if I say this, if I continue to play here, I can't imagine what I will be in." I have played for 5 or 6 years under the circumstances. The confrontation here is too fierce, so intense that I am even afraid that my leg will be broken by the opponent's fierce tackle in the next second!"

Iniesta said that he was a little excited here, and he directly lifted the leg of his sports pants, and his calf was covered with bruises.

David's players would have problems of one kind or another, but they never thought that Iniesta would be afraid of the fierce confrontation in the English league.

Of course, even if this is the case, David will not look down on Iniesta in the slightest, because in his previous life, many stars have criticized the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League, not to mention that David is only a 17-year-old child. There is a right to be afraid.

Facing Iniesta with a smile, "You're right, Andres, the style of English football is very confrontational, so I want to know, what do you think?"

"I don't know, but I hope to return to Spain to play football. Latin-style football relies more on foot skills and teamwork. I think returning to Spain will be more suitable for my development." After hesitating, Ine Star whispered that he knew it would make him feel like a deserter.

David poured a glass of water for Iniesta, patted him on the shoulder to calm him down, and at the same time thought about how to enlighten Iniesta.

"You may be right to worry. Some people have done statistics. The injury rate of Premier League players over a month is almost twice that of Serie A and La Liga. All this is due to the frequent brutal physical confrontation in the Premier League. In England's lower leagues, this kind of confrontation will be even more intense."

"But you have to know that this does not mean that there is no physical confrontation in La Liga, and there is no injury. Injury is an inevitable word in the professional player's career. To be a professional player must have the consciousness and psychological preparation for injury. I think You may not be ready yet!"

"In addition, even if you go back to Spain, one day your team meets the Premier League team in the Champions League or UEFA Cup, what should you do at that time? Continue to escape? Can you still go to the coach and say that because you Fear of physical confrontation and fear of injury, so apply for avoidance?"

Hearing this, Iniesta raised his head in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

"I always think that escaping is not a choice that a man should make. Maybe I can't use my personal experience to convince you, but you can think about those who stayed away from the court due to major injuries in the past and overcame them with perseverance. A fighter who has returned to the court from injury, I hope you will also be an admirable big star with tenacious fighting spirit in the future.”

David sat back on the sofa again, and said in a slow tone: "Maybe you should go and chat with David, you are both Spaniards, and your body is similar, as a striker, David every game Faced with more physical confrontation than you, how does he deal with it?"

The David in his mouth is not himself, but the team's Spanish striker David Villa.

Sending away Iniesta, who seemed to be in deep thought, David felt a little anxious. He knew very well how badly Iniesta would perform in football in the future, and he was absolutely unwilling to lose the cornerstone of the future team level players.

But once I can't persuade him to help him overcome the fear of confrontation, then I can only send Iniesta back to Spain. Even if I like a player again, I can't delay the player's future development because of my own self-interest, let alone , Iniesta was still a child.

If it doesn't work, then Iniesta can only be loaned back to Spain. Maybe he will overcome this problem as an adult in a few years, and it seems that this is the only solution.

However, David's worry and entanglement did not last long, because he found that Iniesta took the initiative to walk into the gym for additional strength training after training the next day. He told David with his actions that he did not Choose to escape.

David didn't know if Iniesta had talked to Villa, and it didn't matter. What mattered was that he retained the future MVP of the World Cup finals.
