After reviewing the cruel challenges Situ Yunbing experienced in his early coaching period, Duan Xuan shifted the topic to the professional level he built within the team.

"When the European football media now describes you, they always say that you pay great attention to the youthfulness of the team in building the team. In Monaco, in Hamburg, and in Liverpool, we have seen many new generations of star players emerge in the team you coach. What do you think and concept about the youth training construction of the team?"

Situ Yunbing said bluntly, "I don't want to train young players for many years, but my team does not have Ronaldo and Messi. When coaching Monaco in 2008, there were no top players like Ferdinand, Vidic, Essin, etc. If I had one, who would have so risky to train young players? If one game is not good, the media will warn you, if you perform poorly in the next game, the coach position will be unstable. If you perform poorly in two consecutive games, then you will be almost finished. If you lose three consecutive times, everyone will want to kick you into the grave, and then you are too lazy to cover the coffin lid. They will directly bury you with soil and never want to see you again."

The audience burst into laughter again.

Duan Xuan was also amused. He couldn't tell whether Situ Yunbing was answering the question.

Situ Yunbing was just a joke. He put away his smile and said solemnly, "What I just talked about is part of the reality. The reality is the team I coach. In Monaco and Hamburg, the former is a player who has no money to buy enough strength to compete for the championship, while the latter is not attractive enough.

So reality forces me to make training players the focus of building a team!

Who doesn’t want to have a ready-made one? But what should you do if you don’t?

You can only do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

So you can see that my pace of promoting the team’s youth in Liverpool has become slow. On the one hand, it is the competition factor in the league, and on the other hand, I cannot always move forward on the road of cultivating players. When we have enough purchasing power and attractiveness, and the players meet our needs, we will decisively invest capital in the transfer market, because this is the fastest way to improve the team’s strength. Every club is doing this. I cannot deliberately create young players repeatedly for the sake of an illusory reputation that likes to cultivate young people.

Van Dijk, Kante, and Azpilicueta are not very old, they have not even entered the traditional golden peak of players, but their strength has almost reached the highest level of their peers. Looking at the entire European football world, they are also top players.

But if a team wants to develop in the long term, it still needs to invest in youth training. Just like this Asian tour, you saw that two 14-year-old players from Liverpool also played, and they are Liverpool's future."

Duan Xuan nodded slightly with the audience, and then asked, "You seem to have a unique vision in material selection standards. Many unknown players have made great progress under your hands, just like the magic of turning stones into gold. What is your standard?"

Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "This varies from person to person. We all know that Europe is not big, but the football culture is far-reaching. The material selection standards of England and France are different, and the material selection standards of Germany and Spain are also different. This is from a country to a small club.

So in this regard, it is more about personal differences in view of players' vision, and it also has the efforts to train players after the day.

As a head coach, I will take charge of the overall situation, but I can't do everything myself, as it will only exhaust me and make my work inefficient.

Like Monitz, who worked with me in Hamburg, now in Liverpool’s coaching staff, he has a lot of experience in training players’ skills and has taught Van Persie. Just as I think of the difference between each player, he will also teach according to his aptitude when cultivating players’ skills.

If you want to get a way to develop excellent players from me, there is nothing I can do.

Each seed is different, each seed is located in different soil, and the moisture absorbed during growth and sunlight exposure are also different, so the final result will not be the same."

Duan Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you very much for sharing your experience. If you add a comment, are you still in touch with Wu Lei? Are you satisfied with his performance in Hamburg last season?"

Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I don't have the energy to continue to pay attention to him. To be honest, I think he has the ability to gain a foothold in European football, but in terms of talent or ability, it may be difficult to do a big career. Just like the Korean player Son Heung-min who was competing with him at the same time, Wu Lei is relatively inferior. But this is not the most important thing. Wu Lei is struggling for his career, and he should persist, not compare with whom, or be frustrated after he can't compare with whom.

I also hope that the fans can give him more support, after all, he is in a critical period in Hamburg now."

"A critical period?"

"Well, that's right, I think within two years, if Wu Lei cannot become an indispensable player in Hamburg, his future will be full of uncertainty!

Now people still have expectations for him, but if the expectation becomes more disappointment, the ending will definitely not be good.”

Hamburg coach Tuchel respects Situ Yunbing's "legacy". Some players have to leave voluntarily. If the club can't keep it, then it's fine. However, those who are willing to stay in the club and have the background introduced by Situ Yunbing during his coaching period, then these players will be taken seriously by the club!

Players like Aubameyang, Wulei, Rodriguez, Matuidi, etc., including Son Heung-min, who personally gave the contract to Situ Yunbing, will naturally be regarded as the backbone of the new generation of teams. If the performance does not meet expectations, the club will not give up hastily, for fear that the pearl is covered with dust and has not shined for the time being.

But people's patience is always limited.

Duan Xuan asked again, "How long are you going to stay in Liverpool? You only stayed in Monaco and Hamburg for two years. European media have predicted that if you win the European Champions League in Liverpool, you will resign and go to the next stop, just like you did in 2010 and 2012."

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "I don't know why people have such speculation. From Monaco to Hamburg, I need to have new challenges. From Hamburg to Liverpool. That's because the Bundesliga is indeed not challenging for me, but in the Premier League, the situation changes unimaginably. Global capital is rushing to enter the Premier League, which will make the competitiveness of this league fluctuate a lot. So I want to try to build Liverpool into a team that can dominate the Premier League for a long time, not Monaco and Hamburg. People also know that after I left, Monaco began to decline, and Hamburg did not suppress Bayern Munich last season. I don't want the same thing to happen to Liverpool. I want to stay in Liverpool for a longer time, whether I fail or succeed.

Another reason is that no matter how successful I was in Monaco and Hamburg, it seems that I still have the steps to go upwards, and people will say, you can go to Chelsea, you can go to the top European giants.

But if I achieve the most brilliant achievements in Liverpool, wouldn’t I be among the top giants? Why would I leave?

I'm going up, where else can I go?"

Some fans at the scene applauded, probably Liverpool fans, and were very happy to hear Situ Yunbing's words.

Duan Xuan handed over the power of asking questions to the audience on site.

The first person to ask Situ Yunbing was a young man wearing glasses. He greeted Situ Yunbing politely and asked, "One day in the future, will you coach the Chinese national team?"

Situ Yunbing laughed and said, "How much do you hate me? I hope I will coach the Chinese national team?"

The audience was filled with joy!

Situ Yunbing curled his smile and said seriously, "I will not completely deny the possibility of coaching the Chinese national team in the future, but for me, coaching the club requires working every day, but coaching the national team, I can often be lazy and then lead the team to play a few games a year? I am less than 30 years old, and I don't want to live a retirement life so early.

And one thing I fear is that the problem of the Chinese national team is not like this in the Football Association. In fact, we should objectively look at the Football Association around the world, especially the Football Associations in some South American countries. Their chaos and scandals are even better than that of Chinese football!

Our roots are always in the players!

African leagues are controlled by football betting groups, which may not be realized, but some African national teams can often perform well in major competitions because their players have a sense of honor and are too weak! They cannot be the protagonists in the Olympics, and they are even less likely to become strong countries in the political and economic fields. So football competitions are their opportunity to show themselves to the world!

And that is their way to change their destiny.

In contrast, in China, people do not have a system and can become stars from slums or street football, but we are complaining about the system, which is nothing more than just making excuses for failure.

We are too easy to satisfy ourselves materially and too easy to give in to our dreams in terms of our spiritual will.

After a thousand Chinese players can drive a good car and live in a luxury house and marry a beautiful wife, and have assets worth tens of millions, do you ask them if they still want to train and improve themselves?

No, 999 of them will only rack their brains to improve the comfort of life to enjoy life, because even if they don’t play football the next day, they can continue to enjoy life well!

And that person with ideals is hard to beat. Football is a team sport, and one person can’t change anything!

I also know that I don’t have the ability to change them, so why should I play the piano against the cow?

I know that if I say this, there will definitely be many football media people in China tomorrow to criticize me. I think I have not contributed to Chinese football and I will speak loudly here. It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind. Just like I am criticizing Chinese players here, they can also attack me, which is very fair.

But what I want to say is that as a coach, I admire Mourinho and Guardiola very much because they are still working hard even after great success. Maybe you don’t know that when Mourinho led Real Madrid to challenge Hamburg, our staff went to clean the visiting team’s locker room and found that the tactical board was full of words. I saw it with my own eyes and I knew how much homework he did, how much effort and effort he did to the game!

Similarly, as players, if you only have Messi and Ronaldo in your eyes, then don’t just see their success and see more about what they are doing after success!

Have they had scandals about their private lives in the past five years? No!

In the past five years, videos of their training have been widely circulated. Have you seen their efforts?

Perhaps most people only see them wearing gold and silver, they live in luxury houses, drive sports cars, please, that's what they deserve!

If you want to use your talent to convince yourself to admit defeat, you will never win, and don’t deceive yourself to work hard.

Ronaldinho is very talented, where is he now?

Pato is very talented, where is he now?

Therefore, the problem with Chinese football is not who is in power or the system. The more people blame these, the more they will only find scapegoats for the players and help them escape reality. The Chinese team lost to too many weak opponents. Is it because these weak opponents are better than our system and the Football Association is more well managed than us?

Stop making trouble. We will encounter some countries with turbulent civil wars and political situations in Asia, with a fart system and bureaucracy!”

The scene was silent, and after a while, the applause continued like thunder!
Chapter completed!
