Parotti was checking emails on his computer when there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in," he said politely.
The person who pushed the door open surprised him.
"Farias?"
The young Argentinian ducked in and quickly closed the door.
Then he stood at the door and looked at Parotti from a distance.
But Parotti waved to him: "You came just in time, I was just going to find you."
Farias had a surprised expression on his face: "Looking for me?"
"Yes, come on, come to me." Parotti pointed to his side.
Although Farias was confused, he still did as he was told and walked to Parotti obediently.
Parotti pointed to the computer screen and motioned for him to look at it.
Farias also looked over obediently.
A slightly messy desktop with all kinds of messy things on it.
There are PPT, PDF, pictures and various compressed packages...
He didn't understand why Parotti wanted to show him the computer desktop.
At this moment, Parotti double-clicked a video file on the desktop to open it.
"I asked Enzuo to make this and show it to you."
While talking, the video has already started playing.
What surprised Farias was that this turned out to be his game highlights!
In the picture, he used a change in rhythm to pass the Aher player who rushed towards him.
But he was soon tangled up in a second Aiheer player.
At the same time, the Aher player who had just pounced quickly turned around and defended from front to back.
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Farias still used his foot skills to dodge and maneuver under the siege of two people, and finally took the football out of the encirclement, and then took the ball forward.
At this moment, Parotti paused the video and said to Farias: "This is the scene in the 49th minute of our game against Aher. You were surrounded by the opponent on the wing.
It was not actually our offensive opportunity at the time, but through your own personal ability, you turned this possession into an offensive opportunity. And this time..."
Parotti clicked again and the video continued to play. This time Farias' opponent was wearing a Pamplona jersey.
Farias knew at a glance that this was the thirty-fourth round, the match between Madrid Pirates and Pamplona at home.
In the picture, Joaquin Vela's pass was slightly too big, and it was about to roll out of the sideline.
Farias rushed up from outside the frame and stomped the football down on the sideline.
But he also has his back turned to the defender.
Pamplona players used their hands and feet to press forward, trying to get Farias to knock the football out of bounds.
Under his continuous pressure, Farias really lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Although there were huge boos at Pirates Park at this time, the referee did not say anything. Obviously he did not think the ball was a foul.
The football was also touched by the body of Farias, who was knocked down, and then slowly rolled out of bounds.
The Pamplona players who were interfering with Farias could not wait to raise their hands and signal to the referee and linesman that Farias had touched the football out of bounds.
But at this moment, Farias got up from the ground, stretched out his right foot at the same time, and pulled back the football that was about to go out of bounds.
Then he hooked the football with his right ankle and turned his hips behind him to send it off!
The football went right under the crotch of the Pamplona defender who was sticking behind him!
Excellent spoon!
But Farias turned around, passed his opponent from the sideline, and passed the ball that no one expected!
Not only did he save a big ball, he also used his personal skills to turn it into an offensive opportunity!
Parotti paused the video again and said: "This ball is more obvious. It is not an opportunity at all. It may even give the ball to the opponent. But when you were knocked to the ground, you still stood up tenaciously and could still use it."
Skillfully defeat the opponent and win one more offensive opportunity for the team."
After saying that, he clicked the mouse and continued playing the video.
Farias stood by and stared in astonishment.
The video is full of clips of his wonderful performances in these three league games.
And every time he made a wonderful performance, Parotti would pause and explain to Farias what was so good about the ball.
Even in the third game against Valentia, which he thought was like sleepwalking, Parotti was able to find highlights.
Just like this, I watched the ball one by one, and after talking about it, almost twenty minutes passed.
The video itself is only six minutes long.
This was something Farias himself didn't expect.
He came to the head coach, originally wanting to ask around and ask what he thought about continuing to let him start. After all, with so much pressure from public opinion and it was the semi-finals of the Champions League, maybe the head coach would
Unable to withstand the pressure, he changed his previous plan of starting every game.
This is normal, there is nothing to say. After all, even he himself is skeptical about continuing to start in the next Champions League semi-final - can I really be qualified to start at this time?
Unexpectedly, after meeting him, Parotti played the video directly to him without saying a word, and even praised his performance in the game in various ways.
In fact, during this process, Farias wanted to interrupt the head coach several times and ask him why he did this.
But in the end he endured it.
After all...it feels so good to be praised by others.
Especially now that everyone is criticizing him, the head coach can still praise his performance from a professional perspective.
Well-founded and not perfunctory at all.
Anyway, from Farias's point of view, he thinks the head coach is right.
Yes, everyone scolded me for wasting so many offensive opportunities. But some opportunities, if it weren't for me, would not have existed at all! They would even be the opponent's offensive opportunities. Why don't you see my advantages and my contribution to the team?
Contribution, just say that I alone...
However, Farias still frowned slightly because he didn't understand why the head coach, who had always had many demands and dissatisfaction with him in the past, suddenly praised himself.
After playing the video, Parotti still did not stop praising Farias. He continued:
"Our coaching staff made a statistic: In these three league games, you are the player in La Liga who has dropped back the most from the offensive third zone to receive the most receptions. What does this mean? On the one hand, it shows that you have a positive attitude towards the game, and on the other hand, it also shows that you
You can indeed create more offensive opportunities through your skills and dribbling. I didn't decide to start you because of Toni's suggestion. It's because you can really help the team's offense.
"
At this point, Parotti reached out to Farias: "Turn on your phone."
Farias didn't seem to have recovered from the shock of the video, and his reaction was a little slow. After asking Parotti to repeat it again, he took out his phone and unlocked it, but he was still asking: "Ah
?Why?"
Parotti didn't show any impatience, but explained to Farias: "I'm sending this video to your phone."
After speaking, he sent the video to the Apple phone in Farias' hand through the same brand's communication protocol.
※※※
When Enzo Nahel came to see Parotti, he met Farias who passed him in the corridor.
Because he didn't have a good impression of Farias, Nahel didn't intend to say hello even if he saw him.
But what he didn't expect was that Farias nodded to him as a greeting.
This surprised Nahel.
When Farias had passed by, he was still turning his head and looking at the other person's back.
※※※
As soon as he opened the door, Enzo Nahel curiously pointed outside and asked Parotti: "I just met Farias outside."
Parotti nodded: "Well, he came to see me."
"Hey, I actually took the initiative to look for you... It's really strange." Nahel teased first, and then asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I think he wanted to ask me if I would start him in the next game..." Parotti said. "But he didn't say it directly. I showed him the video I asked you to edit before."
Nahel nodded and asked: "What was his reaction?"
"He didn't have any direct reaction. But I can feel that he was very happy to be praised."
Nahel laughed: "You are really coaxing a child."
Parotti shook his head and said seriously: "It can't be said to be coaxing. For some people, praise can make them improve more than criticism. Farias belongs to this type, he hopes to get praise from others through continuous
Come and make progress.”
"Then he won't criticize him when he makes a mistake?"
"Actually, I think he knows his shortcomings in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't come to me after these three games. If he really didn't reflect on it, then why would he come to me to confirm the starting lineup? I'm right about that.
He said that he will be allowed to start until the end of the season, so he only needs to enjoy this treatment with peace of mind. So the fact that he came to me on his own initiative just shows that he is aware of the problem. But... for Farias like this
For a person, the more you criticize, the easier it is to arouse his rebellious psychology. Therefore, our previous criticisms were not effective..."
Having said this, Parotti shook his head as if mocking himself.
"But if you give him space, don't criticize him, and give him enough tolerance and patience, he will realize his own problems and think about how to correct them..."
Nahel nodded: "I understand. I just know that I made a mistake, but others can't say it. If I do, I will feel embarrassed. I'm still a child."
He spread his hands.
Parotti smiled: "Adults are like this, men are like this. Not many people are brave enough to admit their mistakes."
Nacher sighed and said: "I also believe that he will definitely correct his current shortcomings in the future, but the problem is that we don't have time to wait for him. In the league, we are only one point ahead of Atletico Vizcaya, and we still have to play against Madrid.
The Madrid derby of the Kings. Next is the Champions League semi-finals...Can he still change overnight?"
Parotti was silent for a few seconds and then said: "I don't know either, Enzuo. But now we can only choose to believe... not only believe in Farias, but also believe in other players."
