Chapter 56 Persuasion(1/2)
First, you must understand others, and then you can be understood by others.
Gao Han forgot who said this sentence, but he agreed very much and was also implementing it.
As soon as I met Aguilera and asked him to sit down on the sofa, Gao Han's first words showed his attitude.
"I need your help, Juan!"
Aguilera was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gao Han to start like this.
"I know, there are many people outside that it is difficult for you and some veterans in the team to meet the needs of the team, but I don't think so, never. On the contrary, I'm very sure of one thing."
Gao Han stared at the captain of Atletico Madrid, who was eight years older than him.
"You must be the ones who can help the team get out of the current predicament and help the team return to La Liga!"
Aguilera was a little confused and caught off guard.
Neither Zambrano nor Marcos Alonso had ever said such things to him.
They hope that the team can execute exactly as they wish. From the beginning, they either bluntly or implicitly express an attitude that veterans will be eliminated and even retired one after another.
They are old and too old to use anymore.
Is this a temptation or a comfort?
"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Gao Han." Ajilela said with caution.
"You can call my name directly. I don't mind, or, like when I was in Chinatown or the second team, call me boss or sir, either, but don't be too distant."
Aguilera thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, sir."
"You are only 31 years old, am I right?" Gao Han asked.
"Yes, sir." Aguilera nodded.
"Romario is thirty-five, but he is still scoring goals, and your teammates in the national team, Sanchis and Jero, who are the captains, are older than you when they help Real Madrid win the European Championship."
Gao Han looked at Aguilera with a sincere look on his face, "Thirty-one years old, Juan, it's not even time to retire."
One of the important reasons why Aguilera was able to beat Kiko, Correa and his old minister Tony Munos as the captain of the team is that he is at Atletico Madrid's youth training and is his own person.
Moreover, his personality is indeed more in line with the role of captain.
However, in his strong appearance, Gao Han's words touched his weakness.
Everyone knows that time is unforgiving, but who is willing to admit that they are old and are about to retire, and they are old and have no contribution to the team, and even become a burden to the team?
"Last night, I went to Calderon Stadium overnight and had a meeting with Old Hill, Little Hill, Cerrezo and others. When they asked me for countermeasures, my answer was exactly the same as what I said at the press conference this morning."
"I think you must be the one who most hopes to help Atletico Madrid get out of the predicament at the moment."
Aguilera was silent, but she was very uneasy inside.
"You were the guardians of this team and the heroes in the eyes of all fans. I firmly believe that you are more unwilling to accept the current situation of the team than any one, and are more dissatisfied with anyone, and are eager to boost morale."
"I also believe that you are more painful than anyone else in the team's relegation from La Liga, but that has become a fact. But now, the team needs you to cheer up, otherwise we will be relegated to another level this season and play in the second league!"
"Do you think it's acceptable?"
Gao Han knew in his heart that veterans did have many problems, but they had to be determined by the situation.
For Aguilera, Tony Munos and other heroes who were once the club and the flags loved by fans, they must inspire their shame and rekindle their fighting spirit.
At least, with the strength of Atletico Madrid's veterans, it is more than enough to play in the Spanish Second Division.
Through his sharp eyes, Aguilera's strength reached 142, reaching the La Liga level.
Not to mention, this group of veterans is so experienced that it is easier to use than anything else.
The key is to rekindle the fire in their hearts.
"Sir, I understand what you mean, but do you think you can do better than Zambrano and Marcos Alonso?" Aguilera raised her doubts directly.
He had such a long career and had experienced so many head coaches, so he could naturally hear that Gao Han was deliberately provoking him.
Since this young coach who is a fledgling coach has done this, why should he raise his own doubts?
When he entered the first team of Atletico Madrid, it was in 1987.
At that time, how old was Gao Han?
Ten years old!
Gao Han naturally understood that this was normal.
The head coach is inspecting the players, aren't the players also inspecting the head coach?
"I don't think that I can do better than Zambrano and Marcos Alonso, this is all right. It's up to you and the fans to evaluate it, but I'm confident that I can lead the team out of the current predicament."
Speaking of this, Gao Han once again stared at Ajilela and said word by word.
"Upgrade...right!"
Aguilera raised her head suddenly and looked at the young head coach in front of her in disbelief.
"This is what I said to two Mr. Hill and Cerrezzo last night. My goal is not to relegate, not to get out of the predicament, but to gain the right to upgrade, and I will not give up the Copa del Rey easily."
Aguilera was stunned.
"So, I want to reverse the game against Vallecano!"
Aguilera looked at Gao Han with incredible eyes, who looked at him without any concession, his eyes firm and without flashing.
The comfort was to make him believe that the new coach was not here to end their careers and reassure him.
The aggressive player is to believe that even though he has reached the end of his career, he is still very important to Atletico Madrid. The team, fans, and head coaches all need him.
Finally, give him a goal and let him fight for the goal again.
This is Gao Han’s strategy.
Whether it works depends on Aguilera's reaction.
Gao Han was not in a hurry, nor urged, and waited patiently.
After nearly a minute of silence, Aguilera raised her head again and looked at Gao Han.
"What do you want me to do?"
…………
…………
The communication between Gao Han and Ajilela lasted for more than half an hour.
Their topic shifted from Aguilera to the team, to tactics, and to teammates.
From the conversation with Aguilera, Gao Han has a deeper understanding of the team.
This made him play a considerable role in his subsequent conversations with players such as Tony Munos, Fernando Correa, Kiko and Oscar Mena.
Especially Kiko.
This powerful center, loved by Atletico Madrid fans, has been performing stumbling since the serious injury in 1998 and has never been as satisfactory as possible. This season, rumors have even been rumored that he will leave the team and even retire.
But during the exchange, Gao Han clearly told Kiko that the team needed him.
A powerful center with a strength of 149, a back-to-back with the ability to take the ball and compete for the top, and at the same time, excellent footwork skills, let alone in the Spanish Second Division, even in La Liga, it will be a nightmare for all defenders.
After being seriously injured, Kiko was weak, but it was more than enough to deal with the Spanish Second Division.
Afterwards, Gao Han communicated with players such as Mirsad Ibic, Jose Luke, Santi Deljan and Sainos. These players are the backbone of the club and are in their year of playing.
Gao Han’s strategy is the same: comfort, motivate, and instill a goal in them, but they face different specific goals, and the topics and focus they are talking about are also different.
But one thing is that Gao Han feels very clearly.
That is, players seem to be more likely to be convinced by him, at least easier than they thought.
Obviously, this is the persuasion stunt of the uniform of a girl who is playing a role.
But there are also differences, such as Portuguese teenager Ugo Leyal.
This European-renowned Portuguese talented rookie has a strength of 140 and a potential of 175. It is quite good, and he is very good at using technology to make personal breakthroughs.
This earned him the reputation of Paul Fottery II.
However, in front of Gao Han, he always lowered his head, looking a little dull and a little timid.
After comforting the player for a few words, Gao Han found that this trick was of no use to him at all, so he decisively changed his strategy.
"In the next game, I will always trust you and let you start. No matter how bad you perform, it will not shake my confidence in you and your starting position on the team. This is my commitment to you."
Ugo Leyal was stunned and could not believe it.
Gao Han nodded and said affirmatively: "So, you don't need to have any concerns, let go of your hands and feet, and boldly show yourself."
In this way, Ugo Leyal was convinced.
Although the Portuguese did not make it clear that he would do whatever he would do, at least, the way he looked much more positive when he left was than when he walked in, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Gao Han.
That's enough.
But not every meeting goes so smoothly.
To be continued...
