580 The Way of Management

“…We still have a lot of room for improvement.”

Lu Yiqi said this.

Even laymen can see that in the first half of yesterday's game, the players' mistakes dragged down the team's overall performance; but as the head coach, Lu Yiqi could not simply shirk responsibility.

"It's all the fault of a certain player." This sentence is too simple and too easy. Those mistakes that shouldn't have happened can be easily revealed. It seems that only by changing the players who made the mistake can solve the problem.

But Lu Yiqi knew that this was not the case.

Because players are ordinary people, players can make mistakes, and every player can make mistakes - today may be the offensive group, tomorrow may be the defensive group, but the coach cannot erase all the mistakes:

Some mistakes are accidental, just smile; some mistakes are inevitable, and they must be corrected from the root; some mistakes can be avoided, so players need to face up to their mistakes. Only by truly figuring out the root of the mistakes and finding solutions can they continue to make progress.

This is also the job of the head coach.

Woodson was slightly stunned. Behind Lu Yiqi's understatement, what was hidden was the wisdom of being the head coach, and even he couldn't react.

Woodson must admit that he never had the ability to face Lu Yiqi, who was three years younger than him: even though he knew that Lu Yiqi performed very well, he still ignored this point intentionally or unintentionally. He always refused to face this point, pretending to know nothing in a cover-up manner.

It was not until these two weeks that his attitude slowly changed, because the conflict had already occurred and he could no longer be an ostrich.

"...but why..." Woodson didn't know how to respond, and always felt that no matter how he responded, he changed the subject and tried to make a joke, "I thought you were blocking me here." This was also an explanation of his reckless behavior just now. Who knows if Lu Yiqi really didn't notice it?

Lu Yiqi packed up and stood up, showing a smile, "I am indeed blocking you here."

"..." Woodson's smile was a little stiff, which was not the answer he was expecting.

Lu Yiqi then explained, "The stadium administrator came over to ask me if I was going to open the training ground today. The team arranged additional training and I realized that you were here. So I came here to block you. In order not to disrupt your recovery training rhythm, I was waiting at the door."

Woodson couldn't laugh and coughed twice dryly, "Ha, ha. It's very funny. You've deceived me."

"Charles, I'm serious." Lu Yiqi did not continue to joke and said sincerely, "How about it, do you have time now? Can we talk about it? Do you like to be in the lounge? Or canteen? Or my office?"

It was only then that Woodson realized that Lu Yiqi was serious and had no room for him to refuse.

But...why?

Deep down, Woodson didn't want to admit that he was a little afraid of confronting Lu Yiqi head-on, which seemed to be a manifestation of cowardice and timidity; but the reality is that he was not willing to talk to Lu Yiqi head-on, and his steps were a little hesitant, as if he could not help but be short of breath when standing in front of Lu Yiqi.

In this regard, Woodson told himself: Does anyone like to talk to the head coach? Of course not! He is not his best friend or his psychologist. Why do they have to talk? Isn’t it only high school girls who gather together to talk?

Absolutely! It’s definitely not because of guilt! It’s definitely not because of the suppression of the aura brought by Lu Yiqi! How could he be afraid of a child? It’s absolutely impossible!

Woodson himself did not realize it, and unconsciously straightened his back, as if he could form confrontation at the physical level and psychological level.

However, Woodson was unable to make a sound and just stood still.

Lu Yiqi failed to get Woodson's answer. His awkward smile, hesitant look, and straight chest, these details already expressed Woodson's attitude.

A smile flowed through Lu Yiqi's eyes and offered an invitation, "Let's do it, Charles, I'm going to go to the cafeteria. I'm a little thirsty. You can accompany me for a while, how about it?"

Woodson also realized that Lu Yiqi made a special trip to surround him here, so it would be impossible for him to let go easily. He nodded in a dull manner.

Lu Yiqi took the lead in taking the lead.

Woodson hesitated for a moment, but he followed him in the end - he refused to admit that he was a little short of breath when he stood in front of Lu Yiqi.

"I did nothing wrong. Yes, I did nothing wrong."

Woodson told himself this, so he still walked forward with his head held high and his chest held high, walked side by side with Lu Yiqi, and regained his momentum.

"Charles." The two of them left the office building, and the cold air outside rushed towards them. Lu Yiqi's voice mixed with it, "I must apologize to you. Yesterday, on the court, my words and tone were not very friendly. Whether I offended you or not, I need to say sorry."

"..." Woodson couldn't react a little. He originally thought that Lu Yiqi was coming to question the enemy, or was preparing to further provoke him, but he never expected that at this beginning, the head coach actually expressed his apology to him?

This really caught him off guard. So, what medicine does this guy in front of him sell?

Lu Yiqi noticed the emotional changes in Woodson's eyes, and seemed to be able to understand the delicate emotional levels, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

As the head coach, Lu Yiqi really does not need to apologize to Woodson. Instead, Woodson needs to review his attitude towards the game.

But real life is not that simple.

Woodson is a superstar who has been famous for a long time, while Lu Yiqi is a new head coach. The status, fame, power, etc. between the two are asymmetric. It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Lu Yiqi and Woodson is very subtle and cannot be described clearly in just a few words.

At the end of yesterday's game, Lu Yiqi was able to feel the changes in Woodson, which also means that his efforts have finally achieved initial results and Woodson is integrating into the team; then the next steps are crucial. If they are handled properly, they can break the deadlock and go to a higher level. On the contrary, if they are handled improperly, the distance between the two sides may be pushed even more distant-

The top superstar once again proves his strength! He also proves that he is irreplaceable again! Therefore, he is more arrogant, more confident and more tough!

Lu Yiqi knew clearly that he had to take the initiative, otherwise his previous painstaking layout might return to the starting point, or even worse.
