Chapter 26: Bluffing is also a profound science!
Juanma Lillo decided to stay.
He is an academic theorist, as Guardiola puts it, but in terms of , he gets almost full marks.
So, when he promised Yang Hao and decided to stay and help him, he just stayed.
At the subsequent coaching meeting, Yang Hao introduced Juanma Lillo to the members of the coaching staff and said that he would serve as his chief assistant coach and would be fully responsible for the team's training, preparations and other specific matters.
This was considered an important position for Juanma Lillo.
But as a newcomer, Juanma Lillo was not in a hurry to get started, but focused on familiarizing himself with the job. Therefore, the morning training session still followed the original plan and carried out a series of restorative exercises.
This is also a routine operation the day after the game.
Especially in a situation like this where there are two games in a week, if the players do not conduct recovery training after the game, their physical fitness and health will easily have problems, which will affect the league game at the weekend.
Yang Hao still acts as a hands-off boss because he has no idea how to train players. Although he is learning very hard, he can only be a bystander now.
But one obvious change is that no one looks down on him anymore.
This is Yang Hao’s own personal experience.
Before the match against Barcelona, he was standing on the sidelines. Many players looked at him with contempt and disparagement, thinking that he knew nothing and couldn't even train players, so how could he be a head coach?
This kind of contempt chain has always existed. For example, coaches who were professional players often look down on coaches who were non-professional players. Mourinho has also been criticized for this during his coaching career.
But after defeating Barcelona, especially after Yang Hao asked for everyone's wages, everyone's eyes on him changed a lot. Even those players who looked down on him had to put away the contempt in their eyes.
Not to mention that those who performed well in the match against Barcelona, such as Belleron, Baraja, Pablo Garcia and others, have greatly changed their attitude towards Yang Hao.
After the training session, Yang Hao chatted with Belleron, Baraja and others on the training ground. He was mainly concerned about their physical condition, especially their fitness and injuries. After receiving their positive feedback, Yang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
"We will play against Malaga this weekend, so you still need to keep working hard!" Yang Hao encouraged.
Belleron and others were also very happy.
Although it was only one game, the players themselves knew how they played on the field.
Yang Hao's 4231 tactics are indeed the tactics that can best bring out the characteristics and advantages of Belleron, Baraja and others, and they can also maximize their abilities on the court.
…
Not long after Yang Hao returned to the head coach's office, he asked Parales to call Hasselbaink over.
The Dutchman is now Atletico's top scorer and an offensive weapon, so he must be well "cared for".
From time to time, you need to polish this dragon-slaying sword until it shines, so that it will be easier to chop with.
Hasselbaink had just scored a hat trick and was in a very good mood. When he came to Yang Hao's office, he had a smiling face, which made Yang Hao know what was going on.
But in the subsequent conversation, Yang Hao only briefly praised Hasselbaink's hat trick, and focused more on Hasselbaink's several on-the-spot counter-attacks and pressing in the frontcourt during the game.
"This is the most surprising change in the game. I believe that everyone who has watched this game will have a completely different impression of you. At least your role on the court is not just about scoring goals."
When Yang Hao said this, Hasselbaink laughed even more happily as if he had eaten honey.
The Dutch striker said that this is exactly what he thought.
"After the game, I was still thinking about it. In fact, some aspects were not done well enough. I think I can do better next time." Hasselbaink said eagerly.
He seems to really want to develop himself into an all-around center, or even a tactical center.
Yang Hao also laughed and gave encouragement, saying that he was looking forward to Hasselbaink's next game. He also believed that he could do better and better in his shortcomings.
Finally, he sent the cheerful Hasselbaink out the door.
As soon as the Dutchman left, Parales and Juanma Lillo came in.
Both of them had just seen Hasselbaink's expression when he left, and were very surprised.
Juanma Lillo had heard a lot about Hasselbaink. He was definitely a troublemaker, so how come he was so easily subdued by Yang Hao?
Even Parales, who had seen it once, had to give Yang Hao a thumbs up this time.
"Honestly, Yang, how did you do it?" Juanma Lillo asked, sitting down very studiously.
This is his biggest shortcoming.
Parales also looked concerned. As a physical therapist, he also needs to master this skill.
"It's very simple, just praise him." Yang Hao said as a matter of course.
"Is it that simple?" Juanma Lillo was unconvinced.
Parales also shook his head. "Ranieri and Antic have talked to him several times before and praised him a lot, but the effect..."
The physical therapist finally shrugged and said the effect was average.
Seeing them like this, Yang Hao immediately laughed, "This is a very, very, very profound... metaphysics."
Both of them fell down.
"Actually, it's quite simple to explain . Let me give you an example. If you meet a very beautiful girl, how would you compliment her?" After the joke, Yang Hao did not hide anything.
There is no need to keep some things to yourself, because even if you tell them, others may not be able to learn them.
"Beautiful?" Parales is a typical science guy.
“She’ll say, ‘I know.’”
"Read a poem?" Juanma Lillo seemed to have some artistic talent.
Uh, okay, it's just a pen.
Yang Hao was even more rude and just threw out one word, "Get out!"
Both of them understood immediately that they had not grasped the point and asked humbly again.
"As long as they are beautiful women, they have grown up surrounded by people praising their beauty. Do you think they would appreciate you praising their beauty? Or their good temperament? Or anything else?"
After they thought about it, they immediately understood.
"You mean, to boast about something inside?" Parrales seemed to have more talent for this than Juanma Lillo.
"To understand her from within, you often need to understand her strengths and weaknesses. For example, if she's never been good at putting on makeup, you can compliment her on her makeup this time. Be specific."
Parales suddenly understood.
This deception is also a profound science!
"Hasselbaink is good at scoring goals, and that's known to the whole world. Everyone praises him for scoring goals, even those who criticize him and question him. But what he is most criticized for is his tactical role."
Parales now understood everything.
"But I don't think he did very well in this game." Juanma Lillo still couldn't understand it.
Yang Hao smiled bitterly, this aspect really depends on talent.
"Have you ever played games?"
Juanma Lillo shook his head, but Parales nodded.
Yang Hao completely gave up on Lilo's treatment plan and turned to Parales, "Do you know why people like to play games?"
"It's just to kill time, have fun and relax."
"A little deeper."
Parales thought about it, shook his head, and couldn't come up with an idea.
"Satisfaction. Games are about you clicking the mouse, pressing the keyboard, and it gives you immediate feedback. The characters in the game respond to your commands immediately. That's a sense of satisfaction."
"so……"
"He showed improvement in this area in the last game, so I definitely have to praise him and give him some positive feedback. That way, he'll be more passionate and motivated. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
Both Parrales and Juanma Lillo were dumbfounded.
They really don't know that there are so many ways to praise someone.
Doesn’t this fall into the realm of psychology?
"Will this work?" Juanma Lillo still didn't understand.
Yang Hao chuckled, "I'll make a bet with you, Juanma. In the next game, Hasselbaink will fight even harder than he did against Barcelona. Do you believe it?"
The feeling of being praised to the point of tingling is really addictive, and the more you are praised, the more excited you get, just like being injected with chicken blood.
Of course, this also requires tailoring to the individual and taking advantage of the situation.
It just so happens that Hasselbaink's current situation and personality make this method very suitable for him.
"I have a question, Yang." Parales raised his hand studiously.
"explain."
"You're praising him so much now, and he's giving you positive feedback. But if you change teams or coaches, and he doesn't praise you as much, or doesn't praise you to the point, what will happen?"
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, "That's none of my business!"
The two were also stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Isn’t it?
Nowadays, being a head coach is a high-risk job. It’s good enough if you can manage your own team. Why worry about other things?
Not to mention Hasselbaink's transfer, Yang Hao doesn't even think about next season.
The most important thing for him right now is to lead Atletico Madrid to avoid relegation.
Only in this way can he win recognition and continue to stay in office.
Even if he can avoid relegation and cannot stay at Atletico, there will definitely be other teams interested in him.
So, what does the future have to do with him?
…
After a while of chatting, the topic naturally returned to the next game.
Yang Hao did a lot of homework, and Juanma Lillo was also doing his homework these two days. Moreover, he had plenty of time to study La Liga during his unemployment, so he also had a certain understanding of the current situation in La Liga and La Liga teams.
For example, Malaga, although it is a southern team, has a very tough style of play and is good at both offense and defense. The key is that its defensive counterattack is very strong. It also has Catania, a counterattack spearhead who is no less capable than Hasselbaink on the front line, which is very deadly.
Currently in the La Liga scoring list, Catania, Hasselbaink and Salva are competing for the Golden Boot Award.
In Yang Hao's previous life, it was Salva who won the Golden Boot, Hasselbaink the Silver Boot, and Catania the Bronze Boot.
But now, with the arrival of Yang Hao, Hasselbaink has changed, and it is hard to say whether he will still be ranked like this.
Especially now that Atletico's tactics have changed.
"For this match against Malaga, I want to change my thinking!" Yang Hao said to Juanma Lillo.
