Chapter 24 Do you still want to succeed? (Guarantee
"If you think about giving up and giving in when you encounter some setbacks, a player like you will have no future until you retire! Don't expect to succeed at the Bernabeu!"
Chang Sheng's words were like a knife, piercing Pavin's heart.
Pavin clenched his fists, Chang Sheng was trying to deny him fundamentally!
But Chang Sheng seemed to be unable to see those little moves of his. He continued: "Do you think you can succeed at the Bernabeu? Do you think you can become a leader like Hierro? You did a good job in the B team.
, I know this, but the world of the first team is completely different from that of the B team. In my opinion, you are completely unprepared to face the first team game with the mentality of the B team. If you think what I said is wrong,
You can recall that unforgettable game for yourself, Francis."
Chang Sheng opened Pavin's scar again, revealing the bloody flesh and blood inside.
"It is impossible for any central defender not to face the opponent's attack in the game. In that game, Valencia targeted you, which many people thought was excessive, but I think it was not excessive at all - you were
The team’s weaknesses, why can’t I plan tactics based on Real Madrid’s weaknesses? If you were the head coach, wouldn’t you do this? If you think you are under siege, then first you have to find the reason within yourself -
—Why are you being attacked?"
Chang Sheng asked, staring at Pavin who lowered his head and remained silent, speaking very rudely.
"If you don't have a weakness, or you act tougher when facing our offense, even if you make my players suffer with fouls, that's fine. But do you have one? If you think about it carefully, you will
Did you do this? You didn't, you just frowned and waited for the judgment of fate with a miserable look on your face... If this was fate, did you do anything to resist fate? "
"When I was in Getafe, there was a young man who was also a central defender. At the critical moment of relegation, I pushed him to the front desk. I don't know how many people scolded me at that time, saying that I was plundering talents and letting a young man play in the front office.
Starting under such great pressure will only ruin him. Opponents saw that he was young and inexperienced, so they used him as the main breakthrough point of the offense - you see, it is so similar to the situation you encountered? So others think
I deliberately targeted you, Francisco. Anyone in my position would do this if they met someone like you. Why? Because you look like you are easy to bully. But my player is
Actual actions during the game proved that he is actually not easy to bully at all! Even if he is passed by his opponent, he will fight back with high spirits, entangle and fight with the opponent again and again, until his opponents understand that this
It was a tough nut to crack. In order not to waste time, they had to take a detour. What about you? Did you show such courage in that game? You didn't, so what are you complaining about? What do you have to complain about?
?”
Chang Sheng raised his voice and kept asking questions.
"Do you think professional football is so easy to get along with? You were born in a wealthy family and your starting point is higher than others, so you think this industry will be easy to get along with, right?"
Pavin finally responded. He shook his head and said: "No, I don't think so. Playing in Real Madrid is also very stressful, even greater than you think... People compare me to Zidane.
This makes me feel very stressed..."
"A lot of pressure? What does it mean to have a lot of pressure? Look, even after I said it, you still don't have the mentality of a professional player. As a professional player, who doesn't need to bear tremendous pressure? If you want to succeed, you will have to bear even more pressure.
, but do you think you can succeed if you cry out, 'Don't put too much pressure on me'? No! You need to defeat the pressure yourself! Instead of looking decadent like you, etc.
The pressure will disappear automatically... That won't happen! Let alone playing football, even if you live in this world, you will face pressure all the time every day. Don't you want to live anymore? A little pressure is nothing? A lot of pressure
What is it? If your desire to succeed is greater than the pressure you are under, then grit your teeth and fight against the pressure! But is your desire to succeed so strong? I have never felt this in you.
.Whether it was that game or your final performance at Real Madrid, I have never seen you have an urgent desire to succeed and change your destiny. I never think desire is a shameful thing. People don’t have desire.
It cannot be called a human being. Do you have desires? If you don’t, then you are a zombie!”
Chang Sheng's words were louder and louder, like a sudden storm, with huge raindrops hitting Pavin's eardrums and hitting his heart.
It's like a drum beat, a battle drum beat, rapid and powerful, continuous.
"You want to succeed, but you don't want to work hard. When you encounter some setbacks, you start to blame others and feel that the responsibility for your failure lies with others, not yourself. If it wasn't something, you wouldn't be like this. If it wasn't something, you wouldn't be like this.
That way... instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, you might as well cheer up and prove yourself again. Let me ask you now, Francisco Pavin, do you still want to succeed? Do you still want to become an excellent middle school student?
Defender, is it what you hoped it would be when you checked into the Martin training ground? Answer me!"
The last sound was like thunder, frightening Pavan, who had always lowered his head and remained silent.
But he still didn't raise his head.
So Chang Sheng shouted again: "Look up, Francisco Pavin! Look up! If you think it was me who caused your misfortune and I was your destiny, then you just raise your head and look at
Me, resist me! Defeat me! Prove to me that you can do it! Has no one ever said this to you? Tell you that you have encountered difficulties and setbacks, don’t lower your head, don’t think
If you lower your head and cannot see the difficulties and setbacks, you are safe! You will die even more miserably! Do you hear me! Because then you will be surrendering and completely handing over the initiative to the damn fate! When facing difficulties
When you are standing, don’t lower your head! Don’t turn around! Never show your back to your enemy, and never let your enemy out of your sight!”
"Why should I sign you over? I don't have a hobby of collecting cowards. I just think you still have the ability, but what you lack is confidence. As long as you have confidence, you can still become an excellent central defender. You heard me
You still can! But you have to cheer me up first!"
Chang Sheng would not tell Pavin that when he used to play FM and coach a low-level team, Pavin in the game was already a free agent that no one wanted, so he gave him a very low contract and brought him in.
He joined his own team, and then entrusted him with important tasks, making him the main central defender. As a result, he performed quite well and was the main contributor to the team's upgrade. Later, although Pavin's ability deteriorated with age, he gradually became unable to play the main role.
, but there was always a place for him in the winning team, and Pavin himself never asked for a starting position. So in the end Pavin retired from his own team as a substitute.
He has won the league championship, domestic cup championship and Champions League championship.
These were probably the most glorious years of his career, but unfortunately, they happened after he was thirty-one years old.
A person who started from a very high starting point and was compared with Zidane did not expect that he would end up like this in the end...
Nature plays tricks on people, and they have such a bad fate.
But even so, one must have the courage to resist fate.
Chang Sheng has saved many people, such as Jose Passarella, Luis Garcia, Reyes, etc. But the person being saved must be willing to change the status quo, otherwise he will never care.

After Pavin's interview with Chang Sheng, he spent two days in a state of confusion. He didn't even care about training. The coach and teammates were very surprised. They didn't know what the boss called Pavin for an interview.
No matter how many people asked, Parveen never answered this question.
Rudy Gonzalez asked what Chang Sheng said to Pavin that made him so lost.
"Nothing, I just scolded him and then asked him if he still wanted to succeed." Chang Sheng shrugged.
"It seems that you scolded a little harshly." Rudy Gonzalez said.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe they are restarting?"
Chang Sheng smiled.

Two days later, Pavin restarted and he seemed like a new person. He was full of fighting spirit during training and even stayed after the training to take the initiative to practice more.
Chang Sheng confirmed that Pavin still has the motivation to succeed.
Then there is hope.
After all, Pavin will be his main center back, and he doesn't want his main center back to be an Adou who can't help him.
On August 4th, in the second round of the Toto Cup, a very crucial match, Lazio was going to challenge Marseille away from home. They tied 1:1 in the first round, and Marseille had an away goal.
For Chang Sheng, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a life and death battle.
Sure enough, Lazio was eliminated from the Toto Cup. Although he will not be dismissed, his prestige and reputation will definitely be affected.
People will wonder if he is still the magical coach who always brought victory to the team.
But in this game, everyone was surprised to find that Pavin, who was replaced early due to poor performance in the previous game, reappeared as the starting center back!
Everyone was surprised.
Are you still determined to win?
After the last game, the media scolded Pavin so much that he couldn't hold his head up, but Chang Sheng even put Pavin in the starting lineup. Is he not listening to the media's opinions at all?
Or is it because he hates the media that he insists on confronting the media?
"Corriere dello Sport" ridiculed before the game that Lazio has become the most Spanish-style team in Italy.
This is really funny, because when Chang Sheng coached Getafe, it was once considered the most Italian-style team in Spain...
