Five Hundred and Thirty-Seven Red Army Asia Tour
Liverpool's preparations for the new season have begun. The enthusiasm within the team is high, and strong aid has joined. Everyone is also full of expectations for the new season's European competition.
At the same time, it will also stimulate some players to actively face the competition.
But there are always two sides, and some players who cannot accept their declining status in the team or their playing time being squeezed will have to reconsider their future at Liverpool.
Enrique, who is only 27 years old, is in his prime. He wants to gain a stable main position. Situ Yunbing talked to him frankly.
Can't be satisfied!
If it can be satisfied, there will be no Robertson's superior.
Situ Yunbing respected his idea of leaving the team, and the same happened to Glen Johnson.
Glen Johnson, who is in his late thirties, doesn't have to guess to know that Azpilicueta's arrival is a signal for him to leave the team.
Unless he can accept the fate of being a substitute, Situ Yunbing does not force it!
The two two big fullbacks were listed for sale, and Situ Yunbing also hoped to eliminate the influence of the disharmony within the team as soon as possible.
However, Situ Yunbing was surprised that Reina changed his original mind after staying for half a season, and he was willing to stay at Anfield and listen to the dispatch at any time.
This is a good thing, at least Situ Yunbing doesn't have to think about signings as a substitute for the goalkeeper.
In terms of defender, Agger applied to leave the team. After Van Dijk's arrival, he was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
So he naturally became a chicken rib, as for Skrtel, he stayed at Anfield to prepare to compete, or wait for an opportunity.
Because he can feel that Liverpool is going to do something big!
In the midfield, Lucas also made an application to leave the team, and Situ Yunbing also did not set any obstacles for him to transfer.
The forward line will not change much, but considering the player's chances of playing, Situ Yunbing talked with Mahrez and decided to loan him out for a season to experience tempering, hoping that he can play the main force in other teams to steadily improve. .
The only area that the team needs to strengthen is the full-back position.
In fact, there is a player in the Liverpool youth academy who is a potential full-back.
Arnold joined the Red Army's youth academy at the age of 6.
But this child who is two months older than Mbappe is only 14 years old!
Situ Yunbing thought about it, but he actually didn't want to introduce some players who had no training value and made him nervous after playing.
Full-backs are a scarce resource, and the second-generation rich Flanagan in the team is not unusable. Just give him more opportunities so that he can grow better.
If not, let other players come to make a cameo.
Liverpool spent 130 million pounds on signings in the summer, and the sellers recovered almost 30 million pounds. This summer, Situ Yunbing’s net investment reached another 100 million pounds!
And with some renewals of the team and the large contracts given by the new signings, the cost of the team's salary has also risen a lot.
But that's almost the end of it.
It will only increase gradually over time, and there will be no further surge. For example, Manchester United offered Rooney a 300,000-pound weekly salary after Moyes took office. Liverpool could not do it, and they bet too much money on one. Obviously not very rational in the player,
And Manchester United especially likes to do it. Later Pogba, Sanchez, and Mourinho, who will join Old Trafford in the future, all have top salaries, even a little exaggerated.
Situ Yunbing doesn't like this. He prefers to make the salary structure of the players look like a pyramid according to the status of the players, rather than the Eiffel Tower. .
Every year, sponsors come to hope that the team coached by Situ Yunbing will go around Asia.
Situ Yunbing finally agreed this year, and Liverpool officials themselves plan to have a gold rush trip in Asia.
The Liverpool team set off for Asia after a brief pre-season training session on home soil.
Sigrid stayed in Liverpool as the decoration director. She has been very busy recently. In addition to communicating with the design team every day, she went to the department store to look at furniture. The things she probably wanted to buy in the past were clothes, cosmetics, jewelry and so on. Buy what you like.
But the furniture is different. If you buy too much, you will not be able to use it, and it will not be suitable to throw it anywhere.
Therefore, she has difficulty in choosing, and she often takes a few pictures to ask Situ Yunbing to help her make a choice. After Situ Yunbing has chosen the same, she will publish some of the furniture in the other photos that have not been selected. The view of merit, and then Situ Yunbing can only smile bitterly.
It seems that she wants Situ Yunbing to persuade her, but Situ Yunbing really does not have the strength and eloquence.
Because he has no special requirements for the style of furniture.
Liverpool's first game in Asia is in Singapore, where they will play a friendly against the Singapore Stars, then go to Guangzhou, China, then Beijing, and finally Tokyo.
It took about 12 days before and after the four friendly matches.
When Liverpool arrived in Singapore, they were greeted with a grand welcome event, and the local Chinese showed a fanatical admiration for Situ Yunbing.
The entire Liverpool team also received VIP-level treatment.
Situ Yunbing led the team on this trip to Asia. The conditions were a bit harsh. The team only played games and did not attend any sponsor's activities.
After all, this is also a part of Liverpool's preparations for the new season. If you spend all your time on activities, wouldn't you be doing your job?
Some money can be made, and some cannot be made.
After all, Liverpool is a team first and a commercial brand second.
The match between Liverpool and Singapore Stars was almost one-sided. Liverpool's main team only played 30 minutes before they beat their opponents 5-0.
Then Situ Yunbing started to make substitutions and replaced many substitute players. By the middle of the second half, Liverpool had an 8-0 lead.
Situ Yunbing finally sent some very young players, such as Mbappe, Arnold, and Flanagan.
Fans in Singapore may feel a little speechless, it always gives the impression that two children have mixed into Liverpool's first team.
But Liverpool can still score goals, especially Mbappe, who is easily overlooked. He showed his speed and skills in the warm-up match and scored a goal with a precise volley.
Liverpool 9-0 Singapore Stars.
This is already the absolute mercy of Liverpool.
Situ Yunbing said in an interview after the game that it is unfair and even cruel to use European standards to measure Asian football.
How meaningful is a warm-up match like this to Liverpool?
I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense.
The second stop of the Asia tour is Guangzhou. Liverpool will stay in China for a long time, because there is another stop in the capital Beijing.
When the Liverpool team arrived in Guangzhou and walked out of the airport, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them!
The crowd is densely packed with red!
But if you look closely, you will find that these fans wearing red jerseys include Liverpool red jerseys, Guangzhou Evergrande club home red jerseys, and Chinese national team red jerseys.
People held up signs to welcome Situ Yunbing and Liverpool!
There is even a slogan that reads "Situ Yunbing, China is proud!"
Situ Yunbing had a feeling of coming home after a long absence.
This feeling is a bit unfamiliar, but it will make him feel like he is returning home.
It's much better than when he went to receive the Chinese Sports Man of the Year award.
The weather in Guangzhou is hot and humid. Players are often covered with big men before they start training. Situ Yunbing began to be strict with the team in the open training. Let them take training seriously and don’t ignore it. The goal of preparation for the team behind a trip to Asia.
At Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, Liverpool played a friendly match against Chinese Super League champion Guangzhou Evergrande.
Situ Yunbing will also compete with world-class coach Lippi.
At the pre-match press conference, reporters from the Chinese media asked Situ Yunbing questions and interviews.
When the reporter first asked him if he felt special about leading his team to play against the Guangzhou Evergrande led by Lippi, Situ Yunbing replied with a smile: "If Lippi coaches Liverpool, and I coach Guangzhou Evergrande, it seems that this is the case. There is nothing special in everyone's eyes.
I can only say that the game will be very special for me, not because of who is playing against whom, but this is the first time in my coaching career to play a game in China, and seeing the vast number of Chinese fans is full of intimacy to me. "
When the reporter asked him to compare the strength gap between Guangzhou Evergrande and Liverpool, Situ Yunbing pondered how to word it so as not to throw cold water on them.
"Guangzhou Evergrande is already the strongest team in China and Liverpool is the strongest team in England, so maybe I'm not right to say that, but I can only think of that.
You can compare the gap between the England team and the Chinese team, then it is almost the gap between Liverpool and Guangzhou Evergrande. "
It is indeed inappropriate, because at this time England has been dubbed "European Chinese team" by Chinese fans.
But in other words, Situ Yunbing is deliberately narrowing the gap, because Liverpool is obviously stronger than the England team, and Guangzhou Evergrande is also stronger than the Chinese team!
As for Guangzhou Evergrande players, does Situ Yunbing have a crush on players and want to bring them to Europe?
Situ Yunbing smiled and shook his head: "Not yet."
Very direct, not a face-slap.
His view of the Guangzhou Evergrande team is a bit complicated. To put it bluntly, if you choose players from foreign aid, then Guangzhou Evergrande's foreign aid is difficult to say that they are competitive in European football. If you choose players from Chinese players, Zheng Zhi has already It is Zhang Linpeng, who has been blown away by the Chinese media as Ramos of China, and has no living space in Liverpool.
Therefore, Situ Yunbing didn't want to seriously discuss this kind of issue, it didn't make any sense.
