Six Hundred and Fiftieth One Is Not What It Used to Be
From New York to Los Angeles, Liverpool will almost turn around the famous American cities on the stage of the International Champions Cup.
With the deepening of the game, the overall state of Liverpool's pre-season preparations has gradually improved.
In the last game of the group stage against AC Milan, Liverpool directly arranged a relatively very young lineup in the starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Koulibaly, Skrtel, Robertson.
Midfield: Henderson, Kante, Gerrard.
Forwards: Mahrez, Lewandowski, Sane.
AC Milan completed a coaching change in the summer. Seedorf failed to stay at San Siro after all. The youth team coach Inzaghi became the new leader of the Rossoneri.
This may be a situation that many nostalgic fans love to see.
In fact, people always have unreasonably high expectations for those stars who have been brilliant in their player era or have made great contributions to the club.
It seems to think that if you play well, you will be good at coaching.
In fact, there are not many successful cases of top stars retiring and becoming coaches!
As far as the current situation is concerned, in the entire world of football, if we take out and analyze the champions of the UEFA Champions League in the past 15 years, we will naturally find that there may only be three top coaches and former top players among them.
Guardiola and Ancelotti, and Heynckes, and others such as Benitez, Situ Yunbing, Del Bosque, Hitzfeld, Ferguson, Mourinho, they either have no player career, or they are players The career ends quickly, or the player career has done something, but it is still far from the top star.
However, in the past 15 years, there have been too many stars from the player era who failed as coaches after retiring, or simply stopped embarrassing themselves after they repeatedly hit the wall at the beginning, and switched to do something else.
Situ Yunbing doesn't care whether Inzaghi can succeed, but it is an indisputable fact that AC Milan is not as good as every year.
When Keisuke Honda's "Ozora Tsubasa" dream came true in San Siro, when he was able to wear the No. 10 jersey, let alone 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, this was impossible in AC Milan matter!
A Japanese player who has never proved himself in the top five European leagues seems to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving AC Milan. This is definitely the best irony of the management and operation of AC Milan's management over the years!
You must know that once upon a time, the No. 10 player was in AC Milan, which made the outside world worry about whether there would be internal strife!
Carlo Ancelotti's classic tactic of four No. 10 players forming the core of the Christmas tree formation is something to talk about.
Today's AC Milan can't even get a decent No. 10 player. This is the gap, and it is the best proof of decline.
In any case, at the home court of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Situ Yunbing still took the initiative to shake hands with Inzaghi before the game and took a group photo. He also admitted that he was his fan and appreciated his wisdom on the court.
Of course, many people would describe Inzaghi as cunning, but since Situ Yunbing always compliments the other party, of course he must use wisdom.
Inzaghi also talked about Situ Yunbing before the game, saying that when he was studying and coaching in the youth team, what he studied and studied most was Situ Yunbing's coaching history, and he had a deep understanding of what he did in the past coaching , and at the same time admire Situ Yunbing very much.
It is no secret that Situ Yunbing is an idol among the new generation of coaches.
Because many people don't want to be an overly sharp coach like Mourinho, and they can't have the innate environment of Guardiola's famous family. On the contrary, Situ Yunbing, the coach who counterattacked from the grassroots, took the step by step process. eager to copy.
Inzaghi's team still needs to run in, and after the run-in, there is still a series of work to be done with a clear style of play and a determined system.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of AC Milan is really not flattering.
To put it simply, the Italian team is now out of touch with Europe in terms of rhythm,
If there is no Juventus team composed of many top-level players who can really achieve the tactical effect of playing slowly and fast, then basically the team will have no resistance to the strong European teams. .
Regardless of skill or tactics, the principle of speed first has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the idea that only speed can not break has been proved as early as six or seven years ago when the Premier League swept across Europe!
When AC Milan's offense played like a mess, and the defense was shattered by Liverpool's continuous fast break, it was easy to see the gap between the two teams, especially under the premise that Liverpool made huge reservations.
Lewandowski is actively integrating into the team. He is more of a growth player in Dortmund than a success. Why did he come to Liverpool?
Is it for the £25 million signing fee? high salary?
He can also get it in other wealthy clubs. The reason why he unswervingly chose Liverpool is to succeed here!
This is why Situ Yunbing believes that Lewandowski will replace Suarez, and the efficiency will not be poor.
Lewandowski's fighting spirit is definitely stronger than that of Suarez who has now moved to Barcelona!
In the honor book, Suarez has already won the grand slam, but Lewandowski is poor and white. It is clear at a glance who will be more motivated.
Even if Liverpool is a semi-substitute lineup, playing AC Milan seems to be abusing food.
Gerrard's performance was much better than the previous two games, and with Kanter behind him, Gerrard also had more room to play in offense.
Lewandowski broke AC Milan's goal time and time again under the continuous delivery of shells by Mahrez and Sane.
In the 64th minute of the second half, Lewandowski scored his third goal of the game and staged a hat-trick of goals!
His increasingly hot state made Situ Yunbing eliminate the last remaining worry about the center position in the new season.
Then Situ Yunbing made substitutions. In the warm-up match, the chances of playing for the first team were about 6:4, with 6 main players and 4 substitutes. The status of each player had to be checked.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the numbers on the scoreboard somewhat embarrassed AC Milan.
6:0.
It seems that Liverpool killed AC Milan without mercy, but in fact, anyone who has watched the game knows that Liverpool has made a lot of reservations in terms of strength!
After the game, when Situ Yunbing shook hands with Inzaghi, the other side's expression was a bit ugly, and Situ Yunbing patted the other side's arm as if encouraging.
In fact, I don't know whether I should comfort and encourage the other party. Situ Yunbing is not optimistic about the other party's coaching prospects in the end.
Because there is also an argument in the coaching circle that it is very difficult for a forward player in the player era to become an excellent coach after retirement.
Although there are no absolutes in the world, the reason for this argument has some truth.
Most of those players who played midfield in the player era need to actively observe and think in the game, and they have a very deep understanding of the team's tactical system and philosophy, because no matter any tactical system, the most important thing is the midfielder.
Forwards in the past era, the task was relatively simple, that is, to seize opportunities and score goals. The degree of freedom given to them in the tactical system was too high, so that they did not need to deliberately understand and think about the tactical points in the confrontation between the two teams. .
Even defenders are more likely to succeed as coaches after retirement than forwards, because defenders understand the importance of defense better than forwards, and because of the position of central defenders in the player era, they can take in all the situation in the center and front when observing the game Under the eyes, a guard who is willing to think a little will have a deep understanding.
Therefore, Situ Yunbing is not optimistic about Inzaghi retiring as a striker and switching to a coach. Maybe there will be no chance to meet again in the future.
This kind of reason may not matter in the eyes of AC Milan fans, but ask yourself, if Inzaghi was not a legend of AC Milan, would AC Milan fans support him to lead the team?
Immediately after leaving Los Angeles, Liverpool headed to Michigan, where they will play Real Madrid in the semifinals.
I have to admit that hosting the International Champions Cup here in the United States has really moved the "feast of giants" of European football to the mainland of the United States!
Liverpool beat their opponents in the Premier League title, and now they are going to fight their opponents in the Champions League final last season!
It seems that European fans can replay all the games they mainly watch in a season in half a month!
The media was building up momentum before the game, but Situ Yunbing was not interested and didn't mention last season's Champions League final.
A done deal, even if Liverpool lost to Real Madrid ten times in the warm-up match, Liverpool won the Champions League last season.
Before the start of the game, Situ Yunbing met the goalkeeper Keylor Navas who had worked with Hamburg in the player tunnel.
This summer, Real Madrid failed to buy Gareth Bale, and instead won Navas and James Rodriguez, who performed brilliantly in the World Cup, and introduced Kroos from Bayern Munich to form a team with Modric. The world's top midfielder, Alonso moved to Bayern Munich.
Navas was very excited when he saw Situ Yunbing again, and he fully expressed his respect for Situ Yunbing. He almost bent down slightly to communicate with Situ Yunbing in a humble posture almost the whole time, which may make the Real Madrid locker room The traditionalists were dissatisfied.
But Navas doesn't care.
It was Situ Yunbing who brought him from Costa Rica to Europe, and it was Situ Yunbing who made him famous all over the world from penniless, and even made him the European champion!
When he was in Hamburg, Situ Yunbing admired the talented De Bruyne, Royce and others, but Navas was the one who valued him the most, because the opponent was down-to-earth and definitely a model for most ordinary players. Do you want to succeed? Then do what you should do!
Navas has always been like this, low-key, diligent and pragmatic!
Situ Yunbing finally hugged him and whispered in his ear: "It's a pity that I couldn't take you from Hamburg to Liverpool back then. You also know that Liverpool didn't even have to play in the Champions League at that time. It really didn't attract you much. And I can't take Hamburg players with me when I leave Hamburg."
Navas replied excitedly: "Boss, you should know that as long as you say a word, I will serve you anytime, anywhere!"
Situ Yunbing patted the opponent on the back with a smile and said: "Don't think about it, as the goalkeeper of Real Madrid, you have already stood at the top of European football, but remember, you are the best." , we must defend this!"
"Of course, because I am your disciple!"
