Football coach

"head."

"sit down."

The first player Chen Ping looked for was Carrick.

Because Carrick is the captain of West Ham, and he is also the core of West Ham's midfield built by Chen Ping.In English football, you can't find a midfielder like Carrick who can attack and defend well, and has such a strong organizational ability.

At present, the most concerned English midfielders in England are Lampard, Gerrard and Carrick.

Among them, Lampard's strongest performance is the performance at the front of the penalty area, with excellent passing and shooting.Especially after partnering with Drogba, the scoring efficiency has soared.Scored nearly 20 goals and 16 assists in one season as a midfielder.

Gerrard is a very powerful midfielder.

Gerrard has strong explosive power and strong long-range shooting ability, which can instantly improve the propulsion of the team's midfield.And he is the spiritual leader of Liverpool.At the end of the Champions League game, Liverpool defeated Milan and won the Champions League, which raised Gerrard's status to a higher level.

All great players.

The Carrick type is completely different from the two of them.All three are English midfielders, with the common characteristics of English midfielders.That is their ability to run, to go up to the opponent's penalty area, and to retreat to their own penalty area.But in such universality, several people each have their own characteristics.

Carrick's biggest feature is his ability to organize.

Is an organizing midfielder.

In Chen Ping's team, Carrick is the core of the midfield, and Carrick really has an indispensable position.This is the first reason.

The second reason is that Carrick does not have a strong agent.

Carrick himself was a mature young man, already very assertive at a very young age.Since becoming captain of West Ham, Carrick has become more and more stable.Just because the player is too assertive, his agent doesn't have much effect.Compared with agents, players have more power to decide matters related to the future of players.

The same goes for agents and players.

Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Many South American agents, such as Brazil's top agent Figel and Argentina's top agent Hobrachin, regard players as commodities for sale.In their hands, players are a tool to make money, even no different from those goods in the supermarket.They don't care about the player's future in order to make money.How many talented South American players were sold to Europe like goods by them, and their talents were wasted in the end.

In European football, in the hands of agents like Mendes and Raiola, they still respect players.But in the same way, in the relationship with the players, they take the initiative.

Even top figures like Mourinho and Ronaldo have to follow the advice of their agents in many aspects.

But there are also many different ones.

For example, some players who have their own ideas are not willing to be kidnapped by agents.Most of the decisions are made by themselves.The role of the broker is to help them accomplish what they want.

That was the case with Carrick.

Many things related to his future are decided by him himself.That's why Chen Ping came to find Carrick himself, not his agent.If it was Mascherano, then Chen Ping would not look for Mascherano, but his agent Huo Brachin.Because of Mascherano's affairs, he himself cannot decide, and Hobrachin needs to take action.This is the second reason why Chen Ping went to Carrick.

As for the last reason, it is because Carrick is a West Ham youth player.

Carrick has feelings for West Ham.Carrick is different from Chen Ping. Even if Chen Ping has feelings for West Ham, it is a faint feeling.Chen Ping would not pour his feelings into West Ham, or any of them.

But Carrick, as a player from West Ham's youth training, has a very special feeling for West Ham.This feeling can affect Carrick's decision at any moment.Because of the above three reasons, Chen Ping was the first to look for Carrick.

"Michael, I don't beat around the bush. Manchester United approached you, didn't they?"

"Yes."

"what are you thinking?"

"I'm still thinking about it."

Carrick did not hide anything from Chen Ping, but told Chen Ping directly that Manchester United had indeed contacted him.Ferguson Jr. met Carrick's agent on behalf of Manchester United.After the season ended, Carrick's agent told Carrick about it.

Facing Chen Ping's question, Carrick did not show any ambiguity, and directly expressed that he was thinking about it.Hearing Carrick's words, Chen Ping was very happy.Because as long as Carrick doesn't agree immediately, then this matter is sure.

So Chen Ping said: "Michael, what I want to ask you today is very clear. I hope you can stay at West Ham. I will not tell you falsehoods. I will tell you the truth. I am the coach and you are the player. It seems that what we want is the same. Our careers are all pursuing two things, one is honor and the other is money."

Chen Ping considers himself a layman.

There may be saints in the world, but Chen Ping is not a saint. Similarly, there are no saints among the people Chen Ping knows.We are all ordinary people, but some of them have a higher realm and think more advanced than others.But most people are actually ordinary people, that is, lay people.

Since I'm an ordinary person, it's useless to talk too much about chicken soup. It's the most practical thing to talk about.Whether it's a coach or a player, it's useless if you talk too much about your relationship with him.Love is something that only works at about the same time.

There are only two things that are most important to players, one is honor and the other is money.As long as these two things are in place, then other factors are additional, including feelings.

"Let me talk about honor first. Michael, do you believe me? Believe me when I said it before, is our aim to compete for the Champions League?"

"Yes."

Carrick nodded quickly without any perfunctory.

Said: "Head, you are a person who creates miracles. You have only been in West Ham for two seasons, but you have created many incredible miracles. I have personally experienced this kind of legend. Whether it is the first season to win the League Cup , or whether we won the Triple Crown this season is a miracle that others can't imagine. So I believe that you are a magical coach, and you were born to create legends."

"Michael, I like it when you flatter me so much. If you kiss my ass like this every day,

I will be very happy. "

Chen Ping laughed out loud.

Then said: "Michael, thank you for your praise and recognition. I also feel that I was born to create miracles. Closer to home, Michael, I really didn't say that I was going to compete for the Champions League to encourage you, or to say big words to please Fans. My goal next season is to win the Champions League. I think I have the strength that a Champions League coach should have, and I believe that my team has the strength to compete for the Champions League.”

Carrick did not speak immediately.

He has to think about it.

If West Ham next season is really the same as this season, creating one miracle after another, and finally winning the Champions League, this honor will go to heaven.West Ham winning the Champions League is as legendary as West Ham winning the Premier League this season.

Not your average legend.

Such a legend will surely circulate in European football for decades.Even when talking about football legends a hundred years later, this history of West Ham may be mentioned repeatedly.And as the captain of West Ham, if he can really accomplish such a miracle, then this is simply an honor worth showing off for a lifetime.For players, honor is a very important thing.How many players left their beloved teams and gave up their loyalty at the end of their careers for the sake of honor.

There are many such players.

The most typical is Batistuta, who went to Rome at the end of his career for the Serie A championship.Including Henry, who left Arsenal for Barcelona for the Champions League.Honor is so important to players.

Chen Ping is an amazing coach, and Carrick is convinced of this.

Under Chen Ping, Carrick could clearly feel how he became stronger.Carrick has experienced first-hand how West Ham have gone from a team that had just been relegated and had no morale, to their current results.

Therefore, Carrick admires Chen Ping from the bottom of his heart.Carrick believes that as long as Chen Ping is given a stage, Chen Ping can create miracles.But Carrick also has many concerns.After thinking about it, Carrick decided to ask Chen Ping directly.

"Head, I believe in your strength, but I don't believe that the team has the ability to keep our players. If all the players leave, even if the head is a magician, I think the results will fluctuate."

"Yeah, I'm not God. If the team falls apart, I can't do anything. But who said the team will fall apart?"

Carrick looked at Chen Ping quietly.

I want to hear what Chen Ping said.According to his agent, many wealthy teams have already started contact with West Ham players.Carrick is most worried about the team falling apart.

"I have reached an agreement with Ricky (Lambert), Frank (Ribery), Martin (Anthony) and their agents that they will not leave *** this summer, they will stay under *** season."

"Ricky and Frank will stay in ***?"

"Correct."

Carrick was a little happy for a moment.

Carrick is a West Ham youth player, and he didn't leave when West Ham was relegated.I have deep feelings for West Ham.It's just that Carrick will soon be 25 years old, and his feelings can no longer be eaten.He has to think about his career.If the current Carrick is only 21 years old, then he will never have the idea of ​​leaving the team.

Now hearing that Lambert and Franck Ribery, the core players of West Ham this season, are staying in the team, Carrick is very happy instantly.Keeping the two of them is tantamount to keeping West Ham's offensive line.

"Of course, I won't hide it from you. Andrei (Arshavin) will leave ***. But I will find his replacement soon, just like when Jermaine (Defoe) left, I immediately Like buying Andre. For me, there are candidates. As for others, I need to talk to them. But I think as long as you are willing to stay, plus Ricky (Lambert), Frank (Franck Ribery) and they also stay, so it won't be a big problem to convince others to stay. As long as the players don't change much, then I have the confidence to fight for the Champions League next season. Because of this, I am the first to look for It's you, and I want your support."

Carrick was silent.

Chen Ping was the first to look for him, and Carrick was moved.As for Lambert and Ribery, Carrick knew that they were all agents, and they were also Chen Ping's agents.Anything they have can be solved by themselves behind closed doors.

Therefore, when Chen Ping said that he was the first to come to him, Carrick believed it.After hearing what Chen Ping said, Carrick was almost convinced by Chen Ping.

Chen Ping continued: "As for the issue of money, of course I know that the rich and powerful teams give you a lot of money. But I think with your status in West Ham, your agent will negotiate with you more than 4 pounds in West Ham." Salary should be no problem. What I want to say is that you think about the long-term and don’t be fooled by the momentary situation. If you go to a big team now, they should give you 6 pounds, and the maximum is 7 pounds Right or left. But if you win the Champions League and leave West Ham next summer, your status in football will be completely different. For a midfield core like you, those strong teams will not pay more than 8 pounds, or even 10 pounds, who can take you away. And if you leave West Ham as the core midfielder of the Champions League champions, when you go to any giant, they will value you and give you the core midfielder status."

"Michael, you are a smart person, so I didn't hide it, and expressed my thoughts directly. Stay, we will fight for more honors next season, preferably to compete for the Champions League. With enough honors, money will come. I need you, and West Ham needs you. I believe you need me too, and you need me to lead you to more championships. And I want you to stay Next season, if you leave next summer, I will definitely not stop you. On the contrary, next summer, I think it is your best chance to go to a big team, not this season."

Chen Ping was writing checks indiscriminately.

Chen Ping may not be the head coach of West Ham next summer. This kind of verbal promise has nothing to do with Chen Ping anyway.If Carrick really wants a commitment, the best way to do it is to get it in the contract.

After hearing what Chen Ping said, Carrick thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I need to think about it."

"Ah."

Chen Ping nodded.

Although Carrick didn't give an answer on the spot, Chen Ping was already very satisfied.Because of Carrick's appearance, Chen Ping knew that the conversation was very effective.It's just that Chen Ping didn't look too excited.Very calmly said: "Michael, I am waiting for your good news. But I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, because I still need to talk to other players and their agents. Your decision directly affects my The next negotiations. Including the transfer market of the team this season."

"it is good."
