"Maybe I'm too philosophical to say that, but the simple thing is that times are changing, football is constantly evolving, and the outside world and ourselves are asking us to repeat the past, and once we obey this demand, it means that we will continue to regress gradually."
Wang Ai took a breath and sorted out his thinking before softening his thoughts: "Coach, when you appeared in front of international football ten years ago, when you led Chelsea to set a series of records and break the Premier League pattern, Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, Van Gaal and others, are they lagging behind you?"
Did you come up with new techniques, ideas, and playing styles?
What now?
”"You mean......"
The voice on the phone was a little hoarse, "I became them?"
Right now?
”"There are two lines of poetry in the poetry collection I gave you, and there are talented people from all over the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years.Think about it, today, how different is the era of me, Messi, Ronaldo and the previous era, that is, Ronaldo?
How different are Ronaldo and Van Basten in their eras?
In every era, there are challengers who change the rules, improve the rules, and push for progress.When the ruler of an era is immersed in the established tracks, it means that he has begun to fall behind, and gradually decays in the face of budding, new forces. ”“…… Is that why you're suggesting I take a year off?
”Mourinho was silent for a while before he continued: "But my agreement is already about to be signed, and like you said, I am sometimes involuntary in a track. ”"yes, so do I."
Wang Ai sighed: "Therefore, we must be more sober, even if we are no longer the creators and leaders of the new forces, we must maintain enough sensitivity, so as to catch up with the trend as soon as possible, continue our high-end continuation of our career, and even go further." ”“…… I don't understand, doctor, please tell me briefly. ”On the phone, Mourinho was a rare calm, rare modesty."
For us, we have enough intelligence, but what we can't control is our mentality."
Wang Ai thought for a while before continuing: "Coach, what I say next may not be right, but I promise it is my sincere words, do you want to hear it?"
”"Am I the one who doesn't listen to opinions?
What's more, this is our private call. ”Wang Ai was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Xu Qinglian next to him waving at him, she took a glass of juice over, Wang Ai smiled and took a few big sips, feeling calm before putting down the cup: "Coach, your three years at Real Madrid must be different from your expectations before you went, right?"
”"Of course, but what do you think I had in mind before I went?""
Five in a row?
Five consecutive Champions League titles?
”"Huh."
Wang Ai also smiled heartily for a while: "After all, we have been fighting side by side for so long, just like you know me, I also know your coach."
I can feel your ambition when you reached the peak of coaching, your ideal of changing Real Madrid and changing the world of football, so I can understand your loss and unwillingness even more. ”"......"
"But the question is, can you get out of this loss and unwillingness?
You've been on the rise in the past, and now it's probably one of the few setbacks you've ever admitted. ”"Why can't you get out?"
On the phone, Mourinho asked a rather strange rhetorical question: "I have carried out self-analysis, and I will always analyze it in the future, just like you stayed in the quarterfinals of the 06 World Cup, did you make a summary for many years and then broke through in South Africa in 10 years?"
Me too. ”Wang Ai thought for a while and hummed: "That's right, we will all summarize, but the problem is that I, as well as my national team itself, are on the rise, and you, as I just said, are at your peak and are about to be squeezed out by the new forces."
Moreover, our reflection and summary are also things that will inevitably happen, and they are also on our established track. ”“…… Keep it simple. ”"That is to say, your reflection and summary are what will inevitably happen in your career as a professional coach, which does not mean that you have changed your career trajectory, especially in terms of mentality."
Wang Ai paused: "Coach, you are a stubborn person and a person who does not admit defeat, which supports your persistence in self-determination in difficult moments and supports you to create great achievements."
But in turn, this kind of personality also makes you more impulsive to prove yourself than others when you are frustrated.This kind of personality will help you stick to the right things until a good result comes, but it will also make you slip further and deeper if you make the wrong choice. ”Wang Ai was talking, a white little hand waved in front of him, Wang Ai went to see that it was still Xu Qinglian, she pointed to the juice on the small table, and asked Wang Ai to take another sip.Wang Ai smiled, picked it up and took a sip again, and adjusted his language again before saying in Mourinho's silence: "Coach, the times will always improve, and changing places is an opportunity for you to interrupt the original trajectory and start a new trajectory, and it is also an opportunity for you, of course, including me or anyone else to keep up with the times again."
But there is a premise that you must get rid of the past and really start anew, instead of being emotionally and mentally immersed in the past, and subconsciously using the present to prove the past. ”"Is that why you always change clubs and always improve?""
I don't know."
Wang Ai was dazed for a moment and replied: "I just did it subconsciously, and it is necessary to do it, you know what I left Chelsea for, what I left Inter and now why I left Bayern." ”"While you do have a reason to leave, it's not that you can't stay."
Jose Mourinho followed the rhythm and said: "There is a problem of staying, but there is also a problem of leaving, not necessarily less than staying.I remember when you first arrived at Bayern, the main position was unstable, right?
If you stay at Inter or go with me to Real Madrid, it's not like that. ”Wang Ai laughed: "Yes, but maybe I leave so often, which objectively gives me a chance to start again."
Perhaps, coach, you also need such an opportunity, you need such a mechanism. ”"It seems like you're worried about me coming back to Chelsea?""
Yes."
Wang Ai hesitated for a moment but replied decisively, ignoring Xu Qinglian's worries: "Real Madrid is the pinnacle of anyone, whether it is a player or a coach, I am worried that you will not be able to get rid of your frustration, so you will subconsciously use Chelsea's coaching to prove that your coaching in Real Madrid is correct."
You may be able to prove it partially, but at the cost of your second Chelsea career, and even missing out on a real opportunity to improve again. ”
