Chapter 54 Mentality Issues
On the training field, the dejected players waited for their head coach.
After a five-game winning streak, they went on a three-game losing streak.
Fortunately, their ranking has not changed for the time being, but their arch-rivals Huddersfield have caught up and are currently in seventh place, just two points behind Burton.
"Hey, I wonder how the boss will punish us."
"Judging from their past temper, they'll probably make us train like crazy again during this period."
Ogradi sighed, feeling desperate as he recalled the time they were forced to do extra training recently.
"I really don't want to do extra training. We've only been back to normal training for a short time!"
"But the boss is definitely furious..."
"If all else fails, then I'll just keep practicing. I'm willing to risk my old life."
Jamie also looked utterly dejected. Who could stand training like that all the time? But what could they do when they lost?
The players chatted in twos and threes, but Murphy, who was usually very lively, seemed like a different person. He sat there with his head in his hands, saying nothing.
"Keep your old life, Jamie, I don't want it."
Li Yanqing arrived just in time, overheard Jamie's words, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do extra training this time. On the contrary, I'm planning to cancel this afternoon's training as well."
"After finishing our basic training in the morning, the whole team went out for a party!"
"A party? Really?" Ogradi was a little incredulous. Could his own head coach really do something like this?
"Perhaps I trained you a little too hard before."
"But it's okay, you'll get to know me gradually."
After Li Yanqing finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the others.
They all looked astonished; they clearly hadn't expected that their head coach would still be in the mood to take them out for a party after a series of defeats.
Previously, they had tried various methods to ignite their desire to win.
The only one who was dissatisfied with this was Quinn.
"Boss, we should practice more. The next game starts the day after tomorrow."
"We need to win. If we keep losing, those guys at Huddersfield will look down on us."
He didn't understand the decision at all; as a player, losing a game wasn't a big deal.
But after losing, you definitely have to find a way to win back the loss. Isn't that the basic quality of a professional athlete?
"I taught you this, didn't I, Quinn?"
"But it's okay, you should always take a break from work."
"We can't expect everyone to be like you, spending all their time either competing or training."
Li Yanqing was quite satisfied with Quinn.
Among the young players, he is the only one who can consistently maintain an "excellent" level of performance, something Murphy couldn't match before.
"How about...we continue training?"
Jamie scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
His professional attitude had always been pretty good, but he blushed a little after hearing Quinn's words.
The other players also fell silent; apart from the captain, only his words carried any weight.
“Stop joking, boss.” Finally, Bradford spoke up.
“I’m not kidding, Bradford, and Quinn.”
"I really do plan to take you to the party."
Li Yanqing shrugged; he hadn't expected Quinn to suddenly step forward.
"This is a decision made after Chris and I discussed it, and he has already made the arrangements."
"The team was on the verge of relegation last season, but this season they have risen to the top of the standings."
"I can't blame my key players just because we lost a few games, right?"
"Don't worry, we'll wait until the winter transfer window opens to see the final result. If we don't make it into the top four, we can punish you with extra training."
"The season is still long, guys!"
At this point, the players finally realized that this was not a tactic, and their tense nerves finally relaxed, and they began to cheer.
"Just a heads up, don't get too excited yet."
"If we finish in the top four before the winter transfer window, there will be an even bigger party!"
"And by then, I won't stop Chris from inviting those girls."
Li Yanqing's words excited the players even more.
The head coach took the players to a beer-drinking party full of girls?
They had never heard of anyone doing this before, and almost all coaches abhorred it!
"Boss! You're amazing!"
Although they had not yet achieved their goal, Ogradi rushed over immediately and grabbed Li Yanqing's shoulder.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"Go easy on you bastards..."
Before he could react, he was lifted up by his players.
Then toss it high into the sky!
It's even more exciting than winning a life-or-death battle!
"You haven't even beaten the top four yet!"
"We will win, boss!"
"Guys, perk up, did you all hear that?"
Jamie responded with a grin, while beckoning to the young men around him who were hesitant to join the activity.
He also discovered that these young players had a problem with their mentality.
Last season's games were crucial to the team's survival, so Li Yanqing had to be serious and emphasize that they had to win.
Although they ultimately managed to avoid relegation, this has led to a situation where, once they suffer a series of losses, the players struggle and become extremely insecure.
This problem is particularly acute among the younger players, in addition to Quinn.
The situation is different now. The league lasts for a whole year, and they have to learn to accept defeat.
Fortunately, they didn't seem so scared after this incident.
"Guys, the previous loss was my fault. We lost because of our tactics."
"But there's nothing to be afraid of, we're very strong!"
"You think you can beat us with a defensive tactic? It's not that easy!"
Li Yanqing also shouted, taking all the blame for the loss upon himself.
"There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Murphy, come along too!"
Bradford, Jamie, and others chimed in, with the latter even calling out to the disgruntled Murphy.
His poor performance in the last game has left him completely out of form, and this is also reflected in his training.
They all understood that Li Yanqing's goal was to inspire these young men.
Murphy, in particular, plays a unique tactical role for the team and is an irreplaceable player.
But the latter hesitated and shook his head.
To be honest, even starting from when he joined the youth team, he has never performed this badly.
Even though his teammates seemed very excited, Li Yanqing said that it wasn't his responsibility.
But he still felt bad.
No matter what, missing an open goal is a stain that a striker can never wash away!
