"From today's training, it can be clearly seen that the players of the team are indeed working harder than before when they are training..."
It was another day of training. In the tea room of the Leeds City Club Training Base, the coaches had just finished a day of training. While eating tea, they were discussing today's training situation.
Having said that, everyone has turned their attention to the head coach Tony Clark.
"Obviously, the entire locker room knows I'm going to invite Laski to dinner, ha!" Clark was also satisfied with the result.
As a "unlucky guy" who wants to invite the whole team to dinner, Clark seemed very happy.
Because this means that the team's results are worth looking forward to.
How much can it cost them to have a meal?
Compared with Clark's current annual salary, it's just a drop in the bucket.
And the key is that the team's morale is high, and the team's performance can be better. It's simply too cost-effective to trade a meal for better grades.
If the coaches of other teams know that Tony Clark only needs one meal to get the team's morale buff and achieve results that exceed expectations, I am afraid to die of envy.
Clark even intends to pretend to be forced in his memoirs in the future:
"...I didn't rack my brains to encourage them. I just told the players that after the season is over, if we can get any goals, then I will ask them to go to the red pepper to have a meal... When the season is over, we really are in the red. Had a nice evening at Chili Restaurant..."
"It now appears that we have initially solved the problem of activating Laski. I believe that with the help of all the players on the team, coupled with his talent, his performance will not let us down..." Clark sees To the whole team, "Then what do you think about the opinion I made yesterday?"
The coaches looked at each other.
Yesterday's coffee break, when Clark gave out his "unsophisticated opinions", everyone's first reaction was the same-you look at me, I look at you.
So after seeing their expressions, Clark spread his hands and said, "Isn't it? Guys. You went back and thought about the result for one night?"
Assistant coach Sam Landier coughed: "This... Tony. Indeed, if you win the Europa League, you will automatically qualify for the Champions League next season... But the Europa League is not what we said. You can take it!"
Yesterday Tony Clark's so-called "unsophisticated opinions" were actually to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, which can be called "curve to save the country".
According to the UEFA Champions League eligibility regulations, in addition to the league champions and the top players, the defending Champions League champions and the UEFA Champions League champions will all qualify for the Champions League next season.
There was no such rule before, and it was only changed in recent years.
"...Now that the UEFA Champions League will be able to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, the competition in the UEFA Cup is much fiercer than before. It is not only the teams that have the advantage in this competition. , The strength of a team like us who transferred from the Champions League group stage to play in the Europa League cannot be underestimated..." Sam Landier analyzed for Clark.
"Isn't this normal, Sam?" Clark asked in return. "Isn't it difficult to compete for an honor like the Europa League?"
"Uh..." Sam Randyll was speechless when asked by Clark.
"I just set the Europa League championship as the season goal, and work towards this goal. I didn't say that we will definitely win the championship. It is not normal for the giants to set some championship goals before the season. The thing? So many giants will win the championship as a goal, but there is only one champion, so are the goals of other teams that have not won the championship meaningless?"
Clark didn't ask Randyle back this time, but the coaches in the whole tea room.
Everyone was silent when he asked.
The answer is self-evident.
The effort to aim for the championship is not meaningless, everyone knows it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Clark continued, struggling while the iron was hot: "Besides, I don't think we have no hope at all in the Europa League. Gentlemen, you should all remember the Champions League game that just ended. We were here. The away game defeated Catalonia 4:2. It was the victory of this game that gave me confidence and made me realize that Leeds is actually stronger than we thought. I believe that after this game, our players will also It should have increased a lot of confidence, and will be more calm when meeting a strong team-honestly, this is the meaning of our participation in high-level competitions like the Champions League. This Leeds City is different from the previous Leeds City!"
My colleagues in the coaching staff did not say anything, but recalled the game that just ended.
Leeds defeated Catalonia 4:2 away, was it a lucky victory?
It is understandable for outsiders to think this way, but none of the Leeds coaches think so.
Because they know the strength of this team.
With Hu Lai, opening goals, falling behind and tying, tying and overtaking, overtaking and expanding the lead... these things cannot be explained by a "good luck".
Leeds’ offensive system ensures that they can create a lot of opportunities, while Hulay’s presence ensures that the opportunities they create can be used efficiently.
The two complement each other and complement each other.
Leeds City has made Hulay, and Hulay has also made Leeds City today.
If the whole Leeds City team can use the momentum of playing Catalonia in the Europa League... it may not be able to hit the championship!
Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, Clark knew that they must have thought of the key point, so he didn't say anything, and made them think that they were more effective than persuading him to figure it out on their own.
Randy was thinking too.
But he was thinking about the current lineup and tactics of Leeds City and what problems need to be solved...
"But there is a problem, Tony. If we want to win the Europa League, we can't perform well in the league... Now the team's lineup is not capable of fighting on the two fronts and it is performing well." He looked up. To Clark.
"Of course. What's more, we played hard in the Europa League, originally because it is difficult to break through in the league. Other teams in the league this season have played very hard. It is not easy to achieve good results in the league. But the Europa League is completely foreign to us..." Clark explained. "The goal of the league is just one, it's very simple-relegation."
The coaches nodded one after another, thinking that if it was just relegation, the problem shouldn't be big.
"One more question." Randyll raised his hand again.
Clark motioned for him to speak.
"If the Europa League is the goal, we need to reinforce the signings in the winter transfer window. The focus is on midfield defense. Cedu...no." Randyll said.
"I don't actually think about the Europa League, I also plan to introduce new aid to replace Saidu in January next year." Clark said that he turned his head and glanced at Matt Dawn.
The latter stepped up and said: "Yes, our scout team has looked at multiple goals."
Randy nodded.
Upon seeing this, Clark asked everyone, "Who else has any questions?"
No one raised their hands anymore.
But just when Clark was about to finalize, Matt raised his hand: "Me!"
Clark turned his head and looked at him frowning. "What's the problem with you, Matt?"
Matt grinned and said: "I just want to remind you, Tony. If the goal is to win the Europa League, it is obviously not enough to rely on Hu to score. Do you want to reconsider the development of Laski Season goal?"
Clark froze for a moment, and then realized that what his friend said was true.
If you want to aim for the Europa League championship, of course you need the whole team to perform well in the Europa League matches. What if they just work harder in the league? Isn't the cart before the horse?
Thinking of this, Clark laughed: "You're right, Matt. I need to update Laski's season goals..."

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Lasky knocked on the door of the head coach's office and saw head coach Clark sitting in his chair.
Seeing Laski coming in, he got up and greeted him: "Ah, Dominic, yes I am looking for you. There is one thing. I went back yesterday and thought about it for a long time. I think I should talk to you again."
"What's the matter, boss?" Lasky suddenly became nervous when he heard the head coach say this.
"Didn’t I make an agreement with you yesterday? That is to say, as long as you can score ten goals in the league, I will ask you to eat red pepper... I went back yesterday and thought about it, but I don’t think it’s good... …"
Hearing what the head coach said, Lasky couldn't help but puff out his eyes-everyone in the locker room was morale high, waiting for the end of the season to go to the red pepper to eat a big meal. As a result, I now hear the boss say it’s not so good...what's wrong? Very good, boss! If you are like this, it will be difficult for me to do it!
Lasky just thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it. He is afraid that the coach thinks that he is a person who has no professional spirit and only wants to eat Chinese food. After all, he can’t tell the boss that it is not that he wants to eat this Chinese meal, but that the whole team wants to eat... After asking so many people, I regretted it.
Clark noticed the change in the sharp expression on Laski’s face. He endured a smile and continued to say solemnly: "I think it’s just ten goals in the league. It’s too easy for you... I am very optimistic about your talent. Yes, ten goals in the league should definitely not be your limit. If you just take this as a goal, it would be... underestimate you."
Lasky's eyes widened, and he didn't expect the boss to say so.
"What do you think, Dominic? Regarding this goal..."
The named Laski quickly said: "I...er, I will try my best to score more goals and I will not let the boss down!"
What else can he say? Could it be said, "Boss, I think ten goals in the league will be enough. If there are more, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it, so that all teammates can't eat the red pepper"?
Clark seemed to be satisfied with Laski’s answer. He smiled and nodded: "Very good. I know you are an ambitious player and you will never let me down. So I want to let us agree otherwise. Change the conditions?"
"what?"
"Ten goals in the league are too easy for you, so I hope you can score goals in all competitions this season, and strive for... the total number of goals will reach 20! League, Europa League The total number of goals scored in various games is at least 20 goals. As long as you can achieve it, I will ask you to eat red pepper! You know, Ms. Schmidt does not approve of me doing this, but I think if you I can show my abilities and talents, then even if Ms. Schmidt disagrees, I will promise you!"
Clark said that with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he invited Lasky to a Chinese meal and took the same risk...
All matches add up to twenty balls...
Laski thought for a while. He has not never done so with a total of more than 20 goals in the season. When playing in Poland, last season he scored 18 goals in the league alone, plus the number of goals in the domestic cup, and finally scored 22 goals.
But that was the Polish Premier League, and now he is in the Premier League, and he is also playing in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the Europa League.
The level is higher, and the difficulty of scoring is greater.
If he is alone, he will not be able to do it. But now everyone puts the hope of eating red pepper on themselves, if they can’t do it...
He dared not think anymore.
Seeing Laski's hesitation, Clark's voice became a little serious and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Ah, no, no, boss, no. Twenty balls...I will work hard with this goal!" Lasky quickly recovered from his thoughts, and nodded repeatedly to indicate that he agreed.
Clark smiled again and nodded: "Very well, come on, Laski, you can do it, I believe you. Because you are my optimistic player, just like I was optimistic about Hu!"
※※※
When Lasky returned to the locker room, he was immediately surrounded by his teammates: "What can I do if the boss is looking for you this time, Dominic?"
Lasky told everyone about his experience with Clark.
"Twenty goals in the season?"
Laski nodded and confirmed to his teammates: "Yes, the total number of goals in various games is at least twenty."
But what surprised him a little later is that the teammates did not frown, thinking that this is a difficult task~EbookFREE.me~, they started to make noise.
"Hey, what am I supposed to be! Isn't it 20 goals in the season? Dominic already has four goals now, which means that in the next half of the season, he can score 16 goals again!"
"That's just sixteen balls. We are all one mind and we work together. Can we not complete this task?"
"Yes! With our offensive firepower, if Dominic can't make another 16 goals, then Leeds is not a good offensive team!"
"Moreover, we will participate in the Europa League in the second half of the season. There will be more matches for Dominic to score goals!"
The crowd in the dressing room was passionate, and even aroused the pride in Lasky's heart.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely let you eat the'red pepper' after the season is over!"
"Well said, Dominic! Just to have such a fighting spirit! For the red pepper, let alone 20 balls, 30 are fine!"
