651 Today is not what it used to be

From New York to Los Angeles, Liverpool almost transferred famous American cities on this International Champions League stage.

As the game deepens, Liverpool's overall state of preparing for the pre-season is getting better.

In the last game of the group stage, Liverpool directly arranged a relatively young lineup in terms of starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Reiner.

Defenders Arnold, Cooley Barry, Scotter, Robertson.

Midfielders Henderson, Kanter, and Gerald.

Forwards Mahrez, Lewandowski, Sane.

AC Milan completed the change of coaches in the summer, and Seedorf was unable to stay in San Siro after all. Youth team coach Inzaghi became the new leader of the Red and Black Army.

This may be a situation that many nostalgic fans like.

In fact, people always have almost unreasonable high expectations for those stars who have had glory in their players' era or have made great contributions to the club.

It seems that I think that if I play well, coaching will definitely be better.

In fact, there are not many cases where top stars successfully switch to careers and become coaches after retirement!

As of now, within the entire world football world, if you take out the coaches of the Champions League champions in the past 15 years and analyze them, you will naturally find that there may be only three people who belong to the top coach and were once the top players.

Guardiola and Ancelotti, as well as Heinquez, and others such as Benitez, Stu Yunbing, Bosque, Heathfield, Ferguson, and Mourinho, either they have no player careers, or they have some achievements in their careers, but they are still far from the top stars.

However, in the past 15 years, there have been too many players in the past who lost their coaches after retirement, or they simply stopped making things difficult for themselves after they started, and changed careers and did something else.

Situ Yunbing doesn't care whether Inzaji can succeed, but it is an indisputable fact that AC Milan is getting worse every year.

When Keiyuki Honda's "Big Air Wing" dream was realized 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!

A Japanese player who has never proved himself in the top five European leagues seems to be shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving AC Milan. This is definitely the best irony to the operation of AC Milan executives over the years!

You should know when the No. 10 player was in AC Milando and was worried about whether there would be internal strife!

The tactics of Ancelotti's classic former four No. 10 players forming the core of the Christmas tree formation are talked about.

Today, AC Milan cannot even make a decent No. 10 player. This is the gap and the best proof of decline.

No matter what, at the home court of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to shake hands and take photos with Inzaghi before the game, and was calm that he was his fan and admired his wisdom on the court very much.

Of course, many people would describe Inzaji as cunning, but since Situ Yunbing is complimenting the other party, of course he has to use wisdom.

Inzaji also talked about Situ Yunbing before the game, saying that when he was studying and coaching in the youth team, the one he learned the most was Situ Yunbing's coaching history. He had a deep understanding of what he did in his past coaching, and at the same time he admired Situ Yunbing very much.

It is no secret that Situ Yunbing is an idol among the new generation of coaches.

Because many people are unwilling to be a coach like Mourinho, and they cannot have the innate environment of Guardiola's famous school. On the contrary, Situ Yunbing, a coach who counterattacked from grassroots, has a step by step process that they are more eager to copy.

Inzaji's team still needs to be run-in, and after the run-in, there are still some work that has clear play style and certain system to be completed.

Therefore, AC Milan's combat power is really not a compliment.

Simply put, the Italian team is now out of touch with Europe in terms of rhythm. If there is no team like Juventus that rely on many players close to the top level that can truly achieve the tactical effect of slow-moving fast and static-controlling, then the team basically has no ability to resist against European strong teams.

Whether it is football skills or tactics, the principle of speed first has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The concept of speed not breaking was proven six or seven years ago when the Premier League swept Europe!

When AC Milan's offense was as messy and the defense was broken by Liverpool's continuous fast break, it was easy for people to see the gap between the two teams, especially on the premise that Liverpool made huge reservations.

Lewandowski actively integrates into the team. He is more of a growth in Dortmund and cannot be said to be successful. Why did he come to Liverpool for?

Is it for the £25 million signing fee? a high salary?

He can get it even at other giant clubs. The reason why he chose Liverpool unswervingly was to succeed here!

This is also the reason why Situ Yunbing believes that Lewandowski will replace Suarez and that his efficiency will not be poor.

Lewandowski's fighting spirit is definitely more vigorous than Suarez who has transferred to Barcelona now!

Suarez has already won a Grand Slam in the honor book, but Lewandowski is poor and unrestrained. Who will be more motivated at a glance?

Even if Liverpool is in a half-substitute lineup, it seems like he is abusing the food when playing AC Milan.

Gerald's performance was much better than the previous two games. With Kante behind him, Gerald's performance in the offense also had more room.

Lewandowski continued to transport shells in Mahrez and Sane and broke through AC Milan's goal again and again.

In the 64th minute of the second half, Lewandowski scored his third goal in the game and scored a hat-trick!

His increasing heated state has eliminated the last remaining worry about the center position in the new season.

Then Situ Yunbing made a substitution and warm-up match. The first team's chances of playing were about 6:4, with the main players 6 and the substitutes 4, and each player's status must be examined.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the numbers on the scoreboard were a bit embarrassing to AC Milan.

6:0

It seems that Liverpool killed AC Milan without any mercy, but in fact, anyone who has watched the game knows that Liverpool has made great reservations in terms of strength!

When Situ Yunbing shook hands with Inzaji after the game, the other party's expression was a bit bad, and Situ Yunbing patted the other party's arm as if encouraged.

In fact, I don’t know whether I should comfort and encourage the other party. Situ Yunbing was not optimistic about the other party’s coaching prospects in the end.

Because there is also a argument in the coaching circle, it is difficult for players who play forwards to become excellent coaches after retirement.

Although there is no absolute in the world, the reason for this argument has some truth.

Most of the players who played midfielders in the player era need to actively observe and think during the game, and they have a very deep understanding of the team's tactical system and concepts, because no matter any tactical system, the most important thing is the midfield.

The forwards in that era had relatively simple tasks, which was to seize opportunities and score goals. The freedom given to them in the tactical system was too high, resulting in them not having to deliberately understand and think about the tactical key points in the confrontation between the two teams.

Even the defender is easier to succeed than being a coach after retirement, because the defender understands the importance of defense better than the forward, and because of the position of the central defender in the player era, they can see the situation in the midfield and frontcourt when observing the game. The defender who is a little willing to think about will have a deep understanding.

Therefore, as a striker, Inzaji retired and transferred to a career as a coach, Situ Yunbing was not optimistic about it, and perhaps there would be no chance to meet again in the future.

This reason may be irrelevant in the eyes of AC Milan fans. But ask yourself, if Inzagi was not the legend of AC Milan, would AC Milan fans support him to lead the team?

Liverpool immediately went to Michigan after leaving Los Angeles, where they will play the semi-finals with Real Madrid.

It has to be admitted that the United States holds the International Champions League to really move the "wealthy feast" of European football to the United States!

Liverpool has beaten the Premier League championship rival, and now they are going to play the opponent in the Champions League final last season!

It seems that European fans can repeat all the games they mainly watch in a season within half a month!

The media was building momentum before the game, but Situ Yunbing was indifferent and did not mention the matter of last season's Champions League final.

The situation is already done. Even if Liverpool loses to Real Madrid ten times in the warm-up match, Liverpool will still win the Champions League last season.

Before the game started, Situ Yunbing met the goalkeeper Navas who had worked with Hamburg in the player channel.

This summer, Real Madrid failed to buy Gareth Bale, and instead won Navas and James Rodriguez who performed well in the World Cup. In addition, he introduced Kroos from Bayern Munich, forming the world's top midfielder with Modric, while Alonso transferred to Bayern Munich.

Navas seemed very excited when he saw Situ Yunbing again and fully expressed his respect for Situ Yunbing. He bent down almost throughout the whole process and communicated with Situ Yunbing in a humble manner, which may make the traditional faction of the Real Madrid locker room feel 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 from being penniless and made him the European champion!

When in Hamburg, Situ Yunbing admired the talented De Bruyne, Reus and others, but the one who valued the most was Navas, because the opponent was down-to-earth and was definitely the model of 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 the opponent and said in his ear, "I'm sorry 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, and it was indeed not very attractive to you. Moreover, I can't take Hamburg players away after leaving Hamburg."

Navas replied excitedly, "Boss, you should know that as long as you say a word, I will serve you anytime and anywhere!"

Situ Yunbing smiled and patted the opponent's back and said, "Don't think about it randomly. As the goalkeeper of Real Madrid, you are already among the top ranks of European football, but remember that you are the best and you must defend this!"

"Of course, because I am your disciple!"
