Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 471 From Self to Team
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing played down the negative impact of the end of the winning streak and commented on the performance of the game.

"In the first half, we acted like irritated bulls, blindly being played by our opponents. In the second half, we were rational beasts, bringing enough aggressiveness and pressure to our opponents. If we were given a few more minutes, Maybe we can stage a big comeback."

There is no lack of such upsets in the Premier League. If you only look at the details, Liverpool paid for their poor performance in the first half. If you look at it macroscopically, there is nothing to regret about the 9 wins and 1 tie at the start of the season.

Just treat it normally.

But the top coaches must strive for perfection, and if they find out the problem in time, they must start to solve it. A wound cannot be turned into an abscess. It may be good to scrape the bone to treat the poison by then. If a strong man has to cut off his wrist, then the impact will be huge. .

Situ Yunbing took a look in the lounge, chatted casually with Alonzo about the game, and then he waited for the players to pack up before facing him, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. Neo called to go with him.

The teammates didn't know what Situ Yunbing asked Coutinho to do. They thought maybe Situ Yunbing was saving face for Coutinho and wanted to find an independent space to reprimand him.

The key reason why Liverpool performed poorly in the first half was Coutinho.

Whether the football field is big or small, when there are 11 players on both sides on the field, any tactical or technical problem will cause a chain reaction, which Situ Yunbing deeply understood when he was coaching Monaco and Hamburg , because he always uses tactics to strategically defeat the opponent at one point, which triggers a chain reaction of the opponent's overall offensive and defensive system.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liverpool's big defeat in the first half was caused by Coutinho's one-point problem.

Coutinho followed Situ Yunbing silently, he didn't dare to speak, just followed silently.

Situ Yunbing took him to the parking lot, sat in the Audi that his sponsor gave him after joining Liverpool, and motioned for Coutinho to sit on it too.

Situ Yunbing drove away from Anfield, and took Coutinho to Panoramick 34, one of the highest restaurants with the best view in Liverpool and even the UK.

In the position by the window, you can overlook the dusk scene of Liverpool City through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the beautiful scenery of the Mersey River flowing peacefully.

After Situ Yunbing ordered the meal, he handed over the menu to Coutinho, who was completely at a loss, wondering why Situ Yunbing brought him to the restaurant for dinner.

The last supper?
Seeing that he didn't respond, Situ Yunbing took back the menu, and he said, "Let me help you order and recommend some of their specialties for you to try. If you like it, you can bring your friends and family to eat here next time. It's a great environment and the most important thing is that no one comes up and asks you for an autograph, or you run into an Everton fan who will come and harass you."

After Situ Yunbing ordered dinner, the waiter poured soda water for them and left.

Situ Yunbing looked at Coutinho and asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

Coutinho belatedly asked: "What?"

Situ Yunbing couldn't help showing a smile, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Coutinho opened his mouth, then shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything."

Situ Yunbing put away his smile and said softly: "Let me guess, you must have been muttering in your heart: what will the man opposite me who yelled at me two hours ago do to me? How will he punish me? Teach me ? Will he never trust me again?"

Coutinho opened his eyes slightly, his flat mouth seemed to not know what to say.

Situ Yunbing said indifferently: "The game is over. I like to look forward. Many people remember that I have never lost at home in Hamburg for two years, but the first show of my coaching career was a disastrous defeat at home!

This made me understand that I must defend the dignity of the home court. It is not only my dignity, but also the team’s and the fans’. When the fans’ dignity is shattered, of course they need to find an outlet. Sometimes it will be the players. Sometimes it's the coach, sometimes it's the club!
At the time, I could only look forward, and I hope you can, too.

To be honest, when I came to Liverpool, the team building plan is very different from before, but similarly there will be some young players. In our current lineup, you, Casemiro, Robertson, Sterling, Vardy, Mahrez and so on, this is much better than I introduced a large number of young players in their 20s in Hamburg before, maybe this is also a kind of improvement for me.

But I know subconsciously I respect the Premier League, and I also respect Liverpool. If you want to succeed in this league, age may not be a problem, but the core is strength. As Liverpool's coach, of course I have to be responsible to Liverpool. This is the best respect.

Five months ago, I selected the players carefully, and you are one of them. You have an enviable talent, and you also have a certain experience in the five major European football leagues. The strength of the players is also required. "

Coutinho finally dared to look directly at Situ Yunbing, with dejected sadness in his eyes, and whispered to Situ Yunbing in a slightly innocent tone: "Boss, I just want to prove myself, to prove To show you, to all my teammates, to the fans, I want to be successful here and to be taken seriously."

Perhaps it was Situ Yunbing's gentle way that made Coutinho willing to communicate with Situ Yunbing. After hearing the words, Situ Yunbing was silent for a while and asked: "Are you too concerned about the reports in the newspaper?"

Coutinho was also silent for a moment before saying: "But what is said above is true."

In addition to reporting on their victories, Fleet Street will naturally analyze some details and data from time to time.

Among them, in addition to Coutinho's performance on the field, there is also a conclusion derived from data that is considered a negative report.

Coutinho is the player who has been replaced the most times in Liverpool in all competitions since the new season!

From this, it can be deduced that he has never proved himself in front of Situ Yunbing, has not been recognized by the coach, and his situation in Liverpool is not second.

Situ Yunbing certainly understands this. When he is coaching in England, he has to dedicate part of his energy to understand what is happening outside and what is written about Liverpool in the newspapers, otherwise he will be easily caught off guard.

"It seems that we lack enough understanding and communication between us. This is my negligence as a coach, but I hope you can understand my position, just like we sit here and look out of the window. Those high-rise buildings are well located. ,Liverpool is like this entire block, I want to ensure that the overall design layout is reasonable and that each building will not collapse, but I cannot guarantee which building will become a landmark, maybe a new building will become a city benchmark tomorrow."

Coutinho looked at the scenery outside the window thoughtfully, and then looked back with some disappointment.

Situ Yunbing said to him earnestly: "I think we have differences on the matter of 'proof'. You didn't prove yourself in Inter Milan, you didn't prove yourself in Espanyol, I don't have enough reason to ask you When I first came to Liverpool, I had to prove myself immediately in the Premier League!

At least I have never had such an idea and request for you. I think you need a season to get familiar with the Premier League, improve yourself, integrate into the team, find out your own position and the role you should play, and then Go try to prove yourself.

Felipe, if you think that the way to prove yourself is to score more goals, and to have a technical performance on the court that makes the audience shine is to prove yourself, then I think you will never prove yourself.

How can you be successful if the team is a failure?
Frankly speaking, you are talented among Brazilian players, but you are not the kind of genius who is favored by God. There are such talents in this era, and Neymar in Santos is him!
He has the potential to become another Brazilian player who conquered the world with gorgeous skills after Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

But I am not optimistic about his future, he will not become bad, he will become a superstar, but I think he has committed the same thinking mistakes as you now.

Brazilian players always play with the thinking of 'what should I do to make myself better', but what I want to say is that the really great players should often be: what should I do to make the team better!

Ironically, the more talented players are, the more likely they are to make such mistakes.

The two most recognized superstars in today's football, C Ronaldo spent 4 years in the Premier League to complete the transformation from himself to the team, Messi is very lucky, fortunately, he is in a team with a very good team , but in the future once Barcelona starts to go downhill, I am sure he will also make great sacrifices for the team. Although he is not the kind of strong and exposed player, I am sure he will do it because Barcelona taught him that way.

Closer to home, if your eyes are only on the strongest current players, you may not realize what they have experienced before and what they will face in the future.

Take a step back and look at what stars like Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso, Ribery are doing on the pitch.

I will not encourage you to make unrealistic efforts. Frankly speaking, no one in our team can reach the level of personal ability of Messi and Ronaldo in the next ten years through hard work or my support!
There's nothing embarrassing about admitting it, but I have the confidence to build the best team in the world!

Do you want to try to chase the impossible, or try to be part of the best team?
This is the change I want you to understand and work towards, it is what I expect from you and it is what I ask of you. "

Coutinho was dazed when he heard it. The open and honest conversation between Situ Yunbing and him was very important to him. At least it made him feel that he was valued by the coach, and at the same time, he further clarified the direction!
