Nine Hundred and Eighty-Three Set Off for the New Season!
Situ Yunbing returned to the UK with his son, and when Sigrid was done with his official duties, the family of three went back and forth to the resorts near Europe.
This may be the most carefree summer Situ Yunbing has had in his coaching career. He doesn't need to worry about the team's lineup, nor does he need to think about the pressure of record.
Liverpool did not have a rigid need for signings. He asked the club to pay attention to a few players, but if he signed up now, he could only go out on loan, so he would wait until the right time in the future to sign.
The Confederations Cup is a bit tasteless, and the attention is not tepid. On the contrary, the most sensational event in football this summer is that Paris Saint-Germain poached Barcelona's second superstar Neymar!
In the eyes of many people, this is almost impossible to happen!
Even if Neymar does not reach Messi's pillar status in Barcelona, such a scarce, superstar player, no giant will let him go!
Like it's hard to imagine Liverpool selling Gareth Bale, Mbappe, Van Dijk, Chelsea selling Hazard, Manchester United selling Pogba, Manchester City selling De Bruyne... .
It's not that other giants don't want to poach corners, but the club will definitely protect their signature stars and will not give other giants a chance to meddle!
For a transfer like Neymar's level, if there is no player who is determined to leave the team, I am afraid there is no possibility of facilitating it at all!
Under the constraints of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, it is impossible for Paris Saint-Germain to pay Barcelona a transfer fee of more than 200 million euros to buy out Neymar's contract. That will not work at all!
So Paris Saint-Germain used the means of saving the country through a curve. The Qatari government hired Neymar as an ambassador, and then paid Neymar an endorsement fee of 220 million euros, and then Neymar took the money to turn his contract buyout into freedom. Players, join Paris Saint-Germain for free!
Such an operation caused an uproar in European football!
Major giants are berating Paris Saint-Germain for not only disrupting the market, but also playing with the rules set by UEFA!
If an operation like Paris Saint-Germain is legal, then the Financial Fair Play Act makes no sense at all. For those players who can buy out their contracts, all clubs can entrust an agency to conduct intermediate operations, and then let the players be free agents. You can join the club as a member without having to record this expenditure as a financial expenditure!
UEFA has also urgently revised a regulatory loophole in the Financial Fair Play Act.
But for Paris Saint-Germain, they do not intend to punish them. After all, there are loopholes in the rules, so players cannot be blamed for exploiting the loopholes.
Neymar left the team after losing 220 million euros to Barcelona. Barcelona turned around and went to Dortmund to buy Dembele, a rising star in the Bundesliga last season, for 105 million euros.
Liverpool bought out Griezmann for 88 million pounds, which is only 100 million euros!
Dembele is worth more than Griezmann!
The transfer market in European football is getting more and more crazy, not only surprising the outside world, but even those in the industry can't understand it!
At the beginning of July, Liverpool began to prepare for the new season. Situ Yunbing returned to the team and started to preside over the work. Except for Robertson and Azpilicueta who were still recovering from injuries, all the other players in the team returned to the team to actively prepare for the new season. .
Situ Yunbing did not hold a new aid conference for Griezmann,
If you want to reduce the pressure on him, it will take a period of adaptation from La Liga to the Premier League, especially the pressure on the front line of Liverpool is very high!
If it wasn't for Situ Yunbing to compete for the championship across the board, I'm afraid he wouldn't spend a lot of money on this signing!
He wants to have rich reserves on all fronts.
The three players who were loaned out for half a season last season performed well. In the new season, Situ Yunbing does not plan to loan them out again, unless there is a situation where they are eliminated from the local cup during the half-way.
The International Champions Cup official once again invited Liverpool to participate in the International Champions Cup. Last year, Liverpool did not participate in the World Cup because of the factors of the World Cup year. They have won the championship in consecutive International Champions Cups before, so the outside world is looking forward to Liverpool's appearance.
But in view of the fact that Liverpool was suppressed by various tyrants in the sprint stage of the season last season, Situ Yunbing was very embarrassed. For the new season, he would rather give up the interests of summer commercial promotion, just to better prepare for the new season!
Liverpool are not going anywhere, they are working hard to adjust the team to the best state on home soil!
Inviting some strong teams from the European second-tier echelon to Anfield to play a warm-up match has made the local football atmosphere very high!
When the time came to the beginning of August, the signings of the major teams in the Premier League were coming to an end. This summer, the Premier League teams are still the main force of spending money.
Liverpool spending more than 50 million pounds is not on the table!
Chelsea brought in Rudiger, Morata, Caballero, Drinkwater, Zampacosta in the summer for £160m!
Players such as Matic, Ake, Cuadrado and Begovic were sold, and about 100 million pounds were recovered.
Arsenal's Klopp focused on introducing Salah and Karius from Roma, and cleaned up some marginal players. The overall investment was not large, but the improvement was obvious. His trident finally took shape!
The highlight is the Manchester duo!
Mourinho led Manchester United to win the Europa League last season and entered the UEFA Champions League in a new season. Manchester United continued to increase its efforts in signings, Lukaku, Matic and Lindelof. Add up to more than £140 million!
Manchester City is even more ruthless here!
Guardiola almost rebuilt the defense. Goalkeeper Ederson, defender Walker, Mendy, Danilo, midfielder Douglas Luis, and winger Bernard Silva spent a total of more than 200 million pounds!
The seller has only recovered 60 million pounds!
All the tycoons in the Premier League are trying to become stronger, but Tottenham is still doing a budget-conscious business. After selling Walker, they recovered more than 50 million pounds, introduced Olier to replace them, and then introduced Sanchez and Llorente. balance.
Last season's FA Cup final was a London derby, and Klopp led Arsenal to beat Chelsea, leaving Chelsea empty in the final season.
The 2017 Community Shield will see Liverpool take on Arsenal.
The day before the Community Shield competition, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference at the Melwood training base.
The entire press room was overcrowded, and even the aisles were full of people.
After a summer of silence, the reporters were suffocated!
When Situ Yunbing sat down on the stage, he greeted everyone with a smile: "Hi everyone, are you having a good holiday?"
There were not only Fleet Street, but also media reporters from other European countries. They looked at each other and smiled. Players and coaches have vacations, but where do reporters get vacations?
The most distressing thing is that there is not only no holiday, but also no news!
It can be said that the summer of the non-big year is the most difficult for them.
The news is nothing more than hype transfer news.
Situ Yunbing is very familiar with many reporters in the audience. After all, he has been coaching in the Premier League for five years. In addition to the Sun, other major newspapers and tabloids reporters, including traditional media and emerging Internet social media sports reporters, He is very familiar with them and sees them almost every week. Even if there is no in-depth communication, he looks down and sees them.
When the press conference officially started, a reporter from The Times asked solemnly: "Are you satisfied with Liverpool's squad for the upcoming new season? Will there be new moves in the transfer market? The new season What are Liverpool's goals?"
Situ Yunbing immediately laughed when he heard the words: "It's really the style of The Times. Such a serious question makes me think about it before answering it."
Everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and reporters who were familiar with Situ Yunbing knew that at such a time before the season, he would not be too serious and could even speak freely with them.
Situ Yunbing only paused for three seconds and then said: "I am actually also distressed by signings, so I hope you can also give me some advice, what do you think are feasible transfer targets that are helpful to Liverpool ?"
The reporters shrugged, obviously everyone knows that according to Liverpool's current level, there are very few players they can look at, and most of them are even if Liverpool look at it, but they can't buy it at all!
Therefore, the recruitment is actually based on the actual situation.
Situ Yunbing has been coaching for nine years, and he has never had a blind performance in the transfer market. He has a perfect balance between the cost performance and demand of signings.
Situ Yunbing continued with a smile: "I think Liverpool's season goal should not have a second goal besides going all out to win all the championships that can be won?
This question sounds formal, but it's like asking a recruit, you're going to war, what will you do, how many enemies are you going to kill, and are you determined to win the war for us? "
The audience laughed again.
The Times reporter said to Situ Yunbing helplessly: "Obviously, Liverpool gave up the League Cup and FA Cup last season."
Situ Yunbing said unabashedly: "In your eyes, Liverpool gave up two cups because we didn't have all the main team in the losing game.
But what is the reality? No team can be equipped with two top-notch 11-man lineups, and at the same time guarantee that these 22 people will not be injured!
No team in the world can do it!
And if using a lineup with the highest probability of winning the game is an all-out performance?
Maybe, but that all-out effort may end up for nothing!
Because no matter how strong the players need to rest!
If you consider a deeper level, the team's lineup construction also needs to allow the team's bench and young players to have enough playing time!
So did Liverpool go all out? I think we can tell by looking at the results, we won the most important championship in our appearance, and this is the best result that the whole team can get in the end after giving everything! "
The reporters at the scene nodded in agreement.
At least no one will think that Liverpool's home cup exit was a strategic abandonment, losing the game with a conditional effort, which is normal.
There's no need to be picky.
