Corindifo suggests Arteta pay attention to the players emotions, Guardiola may usher in a trough

Former England player Colin Defoe talked about the Premier League’s layout in the new season. Arsenal’s signing efficiency in this summer transfer window is good, and most of the main players are still in their growth stages. In addition, Liverpool encountered a major accident like Jota's death, many people predicted that Arteta would be able to get rid of the league runner-up and successfully top the Premier League in the new season. Corindifo suggested that Arteta pay attention to the players' emotions. As the club's overall strength increases, the players will be under pressure to win the championship. At this time, if the results fluctuate, some players may encounter emotional problems, which is something Arteta deserves to note. The Gunners' lineup is very thick now. When the schedule is not tight, there will be stars sitting on the bench under healthy conditions. Then the emotional problems of these people will arise, and Arteta must control the locker room to avoid internal strife in the locker room, which will affect cohesion.

As the season deepens, the importance of this emotional management becomes increasingly prominent. Arteta needs to be like a delicate conductor, not only to maintain the overall harmony of the team, but also to let every player feel his own value. On the training ground, he can flexibly adjust the lineup during group confrontation, so that substitutes can also get practical drill opportunities that are comparable to the main players; in the post-match locker room, timely and sincere communication can calm the restless emotions more than any tactical board - a sentence "The Champions League next week will need your experience" may resolve the loss of marginal players. Many people predict that Manchester City will rebound at the bottom, but Collin Defoe believes that the Blue Moon is not rising so quickly, and it is possible that the club's record in the new season is worse than last season: Guardiola may usher in a trough period.

Colin Difoe talked about Guardiola's situation, and he confirmed a fact that any famous coach will encounter a significant trough in his coaching career, and Ancelotti came out, leading Real Madrid to the top of the Champions League again. Mourinho is the one who can't get out of it. Now that Guardiola is facing a trough period, this is a very normal thing, it depends on whether he can get out of this predicament. However, Guardiola's trough is not the failure of tactical ideas, but the inevitable pain of the changes of the times. His football philosophy once dominated the football world like precision gears, but now opponents have gradually cracked the code of this system - the weakness of high-pressing is targeted, and the advantage of ball possession rate is transformed into the opponent's trap of counterattack. As Wenger said in his autobiography: "The life cycle of football tactics has never been as short as it is today. "

The real test of this Catalan coach lies in the courage to subvert himself. He dared to launch the "Pseudo-Nine" revolution in Barcelona, but now he needs the same courage to innovate. In Manchester City's locker room, De Bruyne's growing age is inconsistent with Haaland's adaptability to traditional translator control, just like the metaphor of Guardiola's coaching career: the golden point between technology flow and efficiency must be found again. It is worth noting that Guardiola showed tactical flexibility during his time in Bayern. His brilliant writing of transforming Ram into a midfielder proves that he is not limited to dogma. Perhaps as Sir Ferguson commented: "The great coach's ruler is to see how he responds when the tactical manual is burned. "Premier opponents began to use the three-center-back system to cut Manchester City's penetration line, and the repeated failures in the Champions League are just exposed to the singularity of breaking intensive defense.

Colin Difoe suggested that Arteta pay attention to the emotions of the players, and the legend also talked about a deep topic - the rotation system of modern football actually provides new ideas for emotional management. Arteta can learn from Guardiola's "all-player participation" concept and break down the season's goals into phased tasks, allowing players from different combinations to become the protagonists in different events. For example, letting Jesus focus on league charges and let Trosad shine in the Cup, this clear role allocation can not only maintain competitive vitality, but also avoid the psychological gap caused by idle resources. The author (an old colleague talks about it) also believes that when fighting on multiple fronts, Arsenal's lineup thickness now has an advantage. However, when the schedule is relatively relaxed, Arteta needs to pay attention to the emotions of the players sitting on the bench.

What is more worthy of attention is the special psychological state of young players. Rising stars like Saka and Martinelli are in a period of confidence construction, and a substitute may trigger a chain reaction. At this time, the coaching team needs to be equipped with a professional sports counseling team, and use data visualization and other means to let players understand that rotation is based on scientific considerations rather than ability denial. When Havertz sees his high-intensity running data being better than the main players, he will convert bench time into an opportunity to increase motivation rather than a reason to complain. In the corridor of Emirates Stadium, Wenger's portrait always reminds the latecomers: true wealthy families must not only win trophies, but also win people's hearts. If Arteta can transform these subtle mood swings into the unity fuel for the locker room, the spiritual totem of the arsenal's "unbeaten season" will no longer be far away. After all, the North London red will burn even more dazzling when the players fight for each other.
