537 Red Army Asia Tour
Liverpool's new season preparations have begun, and the team is enthusiastic, with strong aids joining, and everyone is full of expectations for the European arena in the new season.
It will also stimulate some players to actively face competition.
Any player who is always two-sided and who cannot accept his decline in his position in the team or his playing time is squeezed must reconsider his future at Liverpool.
Enrique, who is only 27 years old, is in his year of fighting. He wants to get a stable main position. Situ Yunbing talks with him openly.
Unsatisfied!
If it can be satisfied, there will be no Robertson's position.
Situ Yunbing respected his idea of leaving the team very much, and the same happened to Glenn Johnson.
Glenn Johnson, who is nearly thirty years old, doesn't have to guess and know that Azpilicueta's arrival is a signal of his departure.
Unless he can accept the fate of a substitute, Situ Yunbing will not force this!
Two two full-backs were listed for sale, and Situ Yunbing also hopes to eliminate the influence of internal discord within the team as soon as possible.
However, what surprised Situ Yunbing was that after staying for half a season, Renner changed his original idea. He was willing to stay in Anfield and obey the order at any time.
This is a good thing, at least Situ Yunbing doesn't have to consider signing for the substitute goalkeeper.
Agel applied for leaving the team, but after Van Dijk arrived, his situation was extremely awkward, with a poor comparison, but he had no age advantage.
So he naturally became useless, and Scotter stayed at Anfield and prepared to compete, or wait for opportunities.
Because he could feel that Liverpool was going to do something big!
In the midfield, Lucas also applied to leave the team, and Situ Yunbing also set no obstacles to allow him to transfer.
The changes in the front line will not be too big, but considering the players' chances of playing, Situ Yunbing talked with Mahrez and decided to loan him out for a season to experience training, hoping that he can play as the main player in other teams to steadily improve.
The only aspect that the team needs to strengthen is the full-back position.
In fact, there is a player in Liverpool's youth training camp who is a full-back with potential.
Arnold, who joined the Red Army youth training camp at the age of 6.
But this child, who is only two months older than Mbappe, is only 14 years old!
Situ Yunbing thought about it and actually did not want to introduce some players who had no training value and were worried after playing.
Fullbacks are scarce resources, and the rich second-generation Flanagan in the team is not unavailable. Just give him more opportunities so that he can grow better.
If not, let other players make a guest appearance.
Liverpool spent 130 million pounds to sign in the summer, while the seller took back almost 30 million pounds. This summer, Situ Yunbing's net investment reached another 100 million pounds!
Moreover, with some renewals of the team and the big contracts given with the new contract, the team's salary cost has also increased a lot.
But this is almost the same.
It will only increase gradually over time, and there will be no sharp surge. For example, after Moyes took office, Manchester United offered Rooney a sky-high price of 300,000 pounds per week. Liverpool couldn't do it, so it was obviously not very rational to bet on a player. Moreover, Manchester United also liked to do this. Later, Pogba, Sanchez, and Mourinho, who will take Old Trafford in the future, all have the best salary, which is even a bit exaggerated.
Situ Yunbing doesn't like this. He prefers to make the player's salary structure look like a pyramid-like basis rather than the Eiffel Tower. The span between the spire and the bottom of the tower is too dissatisfied, which will inevitably cause more people's dissatisfaction.
Every year, sponsors come to hope that the team coached by Situ Yunbing will go to Asia for a walk.
Situ Yunbing finally agreed this year, and Liverpool officials also plan to have a gold rush journey in Asia.
After a brief pre-season training in the local area, the entire Liverpool team set off for Asia.
Siglider stayed in Liverpool as the decoration director. She has been very busy recently. She is not only communicating with the design team every day, but also going to department stores to check furniture. What she wanted to buy in the past were clothes, cosmetics, jewelry and other things. If you like, buy them.
But furniture is different. If you buy too much, you can't use it. It's not appropriate to throw it anywhere.
So she had difficulty choosing and often took a few pictures to ask Situ Yunbing to help her make a choice. After Situ Yunbing chose the same, she would express her views on the advantages of furniture in other photos that were not selected, and then Situ Yunbing could only smile bitterly.
It seemed that she was trying to convince Situ Yunbing, but Situ Yunbing really didn't have the strength or eloquence.
Because he has no special requirements for the style of furniture.
Liverpool's first match to Asia was in Singapore, and they would play a friendly match with the Singapore Stars, then go to Guangzhou, China, followed by Beijing, and finally Tokyo.
It took about 12 days before and after the four friendly matches.
When Liverpool arrived in Singapore, a grand welcome event was presented to them, and local Chinese showed fanatical worship of Situ Yunbing.
The entire Liverpool team has also been treated as VIP-level.
Situ Yunbing led the team to visit Asia this time, the conditions were a bit harsh. The team only played games and did not attend any sponsor activities.
After all, this is also part of Liverpool's preparations for the new season. If you spend all your time on activities, wouldn't it be a business?
Some money can be made, but some money can't be made.
After all, Liverpool is first a team and then a commercial brand.
The match between Liverpool and Singapore Stars was almost one-sided. Liverpool's main team played in just 30 minutes and tied the opponent to 5:0.
Then Situ Yunbing started substitutions and replaced many substitutes. By the middle of the second half, Liverpool had already led the opponent 8:0.
Situ Yunbing finally sent some very young players, such as Mbappe, Arnold, and Flanagan.
Singapore fans may feel speechless, always giving people the feeling that two children have sneaked into Liverpool's first team.
But Liverpool still can score goals, especially Mbappe, who is easily overlooked. He showed his own speed and skills in the warm-up match and scored a goal with a precise volley.
Liverpool 9:0 Singapore star team.
This is already Liverpool's absolute mercy.
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing said that using European standards to measure Asian football is unfair and even a bit cruel.
How much does such a warm-up match mean to Liverpool?
I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense.
The second stop for Asia is Guangzhou, and Liverpool will stay in China for a long time, because there is another stop in the capital Beijing.
When the entire Liverpool team arrived in Guangzhou and walked out of the airport, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them!
The crowd was densely packed with red colors!
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 the arrival of Situ Yunbing and Liverpool!
There are even slogans that read "Situ Yunbing, China is proud!"
Situ Yunbing felt like he had gone home for a long time.
This feeling is a bit strange, but it makes him feel that he is returning to his hometown with honor.
It's much better than him winning the awards for Chinese sports figures.
The weather in Guangzhou is hot and mixed with humidity, and players are often surrounded by big men before they start training. Situ Yunbing began to strictly demand the team during the open training, so that they could take the training seriously and not ignore the preparation goals that the team wants to achieve behind this Asian tour.
At Guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, Liverpool played a friendly match with Chinese Super League champion Guangzhou Evergrande.
Situ Yunbing will also compete with the world-class coach Lippi.
At the pre-match press conference, Chinese media reporters asked questions and interviewed Situ Yunbing.
When the reporter first asked him if he felt special about leading the team to fight against Guangzhou Evergrande led by Lippi, Situ Yunbing smiled and replied: "If Lippi coaches Liverpool and Guangzhou Evergrande coached by me, it seems that there is nothing special in everyone's eyes.
I can only say that the game will be very special to me, because the reason is not who will play against whom, but this is the first time I have played in China's territory in my coaching career. I can see that the vast number of Chinese fans are full of intimacy for me."
When the reporter asked him to compare the strength gap between Guangzhou Evergrande and Liverpool, Situ Yunbing thought about how to speak so as not to pour cold water on them.
"Guangzhou Evergrande is already the strongest team in China, and Liverpool is the strongest team in England, so maybe it is not appropriate for me to say this, but I can only think of such a description.
You can compare the gap between the English team and the Chinese team, so it is almost the gap between Liverpool and Guangzhou Evergrande."
It is indeed not appropriate, because at this time England has been dubbed "European Chinese Team" by Chinese fans.
But in other words, Situ Yunbing is deliberately narrowing this gap, because Liverpool is obviously stronger than the English team, and Guangzhou Evergrande is also stronger than the Chinese team!
Does Situ Yunbing like the players of Guangzhou Evergrande and want to introduce and bring them to Europe?
Situ Yunbing smiled and shook his head and said, "No for the time being."
Very direct, not considered a slap in the face.
He thinks of Guangzhou Evergrande in a bit complicated. To put it bluntly, if you pick players from foreign players, it is difficult to say that Guangzhou Evergrande's foreign players are competitive in European football. If you pick players from Chinese players, Zheng Zhi has already returned from studying abroad. Zhang Linpeng, who was hailed as Ramos in China by the Chinese media, also has no room for survival in Liverpool.
