Back at the hotel at night, Qin Xiong called Wang Sicong directly and asked him to come to the hotel for an interview.

Wang Sicong, who was clubbing in Liverpool, knew the stakes, put aside the entertainment and rushed to the hotel where Qin Xiong was.

Qin Xiong took a shower during the waiting time, but he didn't think about the importance of Alonso anymore, because from the player's point of view, the value and importance of Alonso are almost out of instinct, and there is no need for that Specific analysis.

Liverpool would be in big trouble without Alonso, simple as that!

Unless Qin Xiong is willing to return to the role of organizing midfielder, Liverpool will continue to stumble in the new season. This has a similar effect to the ups and downs of Real Madrid's record last season and the decline of midfielder Guti.

As for whether Gerrard can be withdrawn, Qin Xiong has indeed thought about it before, but in terms of organizational ability and talent, Gerrard is still different from Alonso.

What's more, Liverpool's striker twin star combination has shown its power in the past two years. The combination of Torres + Gerrard is very effective. To dismantle them and reorganize a new combination will have to pay a certain record price.

So what Qin Xiong is thinking about now is the importance of Benitez to this team.

In all fairness, from 2004 to 2009 when Benitez entered Anfield, the important trophies brought to the team in five years were the Champions League and the FA Cup.

This achievement is not ordinary, but it has been a long time. Liverpool, who have not won a championship for three years, has proved that the team has not been successful in the past three years. Even if there is a runner-up and semi-final record in the Champions League, Liverpool's competitiveness in Europe cannot be underestimated. , but regrettably finished runner-up in the league last season and won Liverpool's best result in the Premier League era. It still cannot be self-consolation for three years without a championship.

Benitez is a tactical master, this is recognized.He is also a cup master and is good at playing cup games.

However, when Qin Xiong looks back at Liverpool in the past five years, it is difficult to say what kind of style Liverpool has formed.

Neither has precipitated and developed England's traditional technical and tactical style like Manchester United, nor is it like Arsenal's unique approach to firmly follow the technical flow. On the contrary, Benitez's emphasis on technology in Spain and the vacillation of British traditional style have never been able to make Liverpool The technical and tactical style is completely settled.

Looking at Liverpool, it is more like what people often say: that is the passionate Red Army.

The game is full of passion.But does the team have a persistent tactical connotation?

It seems that there is no such thing.

It is understandable that tactical masters like to fiddle with tactics and defeat the enemy with tactics, but a team needs to develop and create a popular technical and tactical image and style for a long time, which can increase the team's fault tolerance rate.The premise is that the skills and tactics are in line with this team.

While thinking, Qin Xiong waited for Wang Sicong to come, and he told Wang Sicong the important part of the conversation between Alonso and him.

Wang Sicong pondered for a moment and said, "How likely is the general to reconcile?"

Qin Xiong shook his head pessimistically.

"It's gotten to the point where there's very little hope."

Wang Sicong nodded and said: "Then the problem is simple, either Alonso leaves or Benitez leaves."

Qin Xiong sighed and said: "If we want to get to this point, then this decision will be very difficult."

Benitez has not really reached the point of becoming a public enemy.The fans also stood firmly on Benitez's side as he battled the two American owners.

It can be seen that Benitez still has a certain prestige in the hearts of fans.

Wang Sicong spread his hands and said: "If this is a multiple-choice question that must be decided, the lesser of two evils. From an economic point of view, firing Benitez will have to pay some fees. Selling Alonso and you think it is The loss outweighs the gain, because we cannot buy a star who can replace Alonso with the transfer fee that Real Madrid pays. From a sporting point of view? Alonso is more important or Benitez is more important? Can Benitez be replaced? I think It shouldn't be difficult, would a manager who is better than him, or similar to him, be willing to come to Liverpool?"

Qin Xiong rolled his eyes and said, "No, on the issue of coaching. It's not the selection criterion of who is better than whom, but whether the head coach is suitable. Now that you say it like this, I've sorted out the idea."

Qin Xiong walked around the room wearing a towel.

Financial gain is not his concern.But he would say that the cost of sacking Benitez is far less than the loss of Alonso.

What about athletics?

Coaching changes are very common.Moreover, Benitez did not fix Liverpool on a style, which made it not difficult to change coaches.

If it is a team like Barcelona, ​​it will be very difficult to change coaches, because if a coach who conflicts with Barcelona's football philosophy goes to coach Barcelona, ​​it will definitely cause huge internal conflicts.

That kind of cooperation is like letting Capello go to coach Real Madrid. Due to the conflict of style and philosophy, the team's record is good or bad, and internal conflicts will never stop.

Qin Xiong was thinking all the time, and Wang Sicong didn't bother him, he sat on the sofa against the wall and waited with one hand resting on his chin.

After waiting for a while, Qin Xiong finally stopped, turned his head and said to Wang Sicong: "Let's discuss an issue with the management, whoever stays between Benitez and Alonso, I tend to keep Alonso. My opinion, as to what the decision is, I can't call it alone."

Wang Sicong stood up solemnly, but before he left, he turned his head and asked: "So whether Benitez stays or Alonso stays, who is the successor? Candidates for the head coach, candidates for the players, You should give your opinion too."

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiong said: "I can't give any advice on the players, because it is impossible for Liverpool to buy players who can replace Alonso. As for the candidates for the head coach, I will give you an answer tomorrow."

After Wang Sicong left, Qin Xiong lay on the bed and began to think about the question before parting.

If the management makes a decision to let Benitez leave, then a successor will come soon, otherwise Liverpool will not have time to start the new season steadily.

There is almost no need to think about the current famous coaches, because most of them are working steadily in the giants, just like Real Madrid's new season. The attraction is definitely higher than that of Liverpool.

Then we can only consider those coaches with average reputations.

In recent years, Qin Xiong has not only played against many teams, but also met many opponents' head coaches.

He thought about it, recalling the head coaches he had seen in the past, but after all, no one could make him trust and look forward to it.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, a name suddenly flashed in his mind. He had a decision in his mind and thought he could give it a try. If the club management decided to fire Benitez, then Qin Xiong would recommend that person. (to be continued~^~)
