433 Establishing Authority
Liverpool, port city in northwest England.
A city with more open and free culture, but in the hot summer, the taverns of all sizes on the edge of the Mersey River are filled with depression and endless sorrow.
Liverpool fans are not interested in England's European Cup at all. At least they are not as supportive of the royal family as the Manchester people 50 kilometers eastward, and have absolutely profound loyalty to England.
Manchester, Manchester...
This year's Premier League championship trophy was won by Manchester's team again.
Even if it is not Manchester United, it can only be said that it is not a damn Manchester United, but it is not a happy person.
They were used to Manchester's carnival and the posture of watching the mortal enemy next door beside him.
But when Everton, a stalemate in the city, ranked higher than Liverpool after the end of the season, Reds fans were really feeling extremely humiliating and depressed.
The curtain of the Premier League fell in 2012, and Liverpool ranked eighth in the Premier League!
This is the worst ranking in the Liverpool league since the founding of the Premier League!
It tied the lowest ranking in 1994!
Even the former king Daglish could only be dismissed from get out of class in disgrace.
People talked about the fact that Daglish was already an old antique, and perhaps leading Blackburn to win the Premier League championship was the pinnacle of Daglish's coaching.
Since then, Dalglish has gradually moved away from the trend in the coaching industry.
Liverpool has not even a coach yet. The rumored that Liverpool is closest to being Rodgers, who coached Swansea last season. He did a good job, but coached Liverpool? Who can he bring confidence to?
A young man who is under 40 wants to succeed in Anfield?
I'm afraid he will be defeated by overwhelmed pressure!
A group of elderly fans sat in front of the bar. They were drinking and sighing from time to time, as if they were about to go.
Someone was holding his mobile phone to refresh the news on the Internet and suddenly shouted.
"Damn it! Liverpool has officially announced the new coach!"
"Who? That boy Rogers?"
"He has no blood at all, and his body exudes the academy-like decay. I don't like him."
"No, no, no, no! Listen to me! Listen to me! You will definitely not guess who it is!"
"Then why don't you tell me quickly! Who is it?"
"That Chinese!"
"Chinese? Chinese!!! Are you saying? What's his name?"
"I only know that his name is Situ, and I forgot his full name!"
"Situ Yunbing! The young man who led Monaco two years ago and just led Hamburg to the Champions League this year!"
"He's coming to Liverpool?"
"He has arrived! Here are pictures of him coming out of John Lennon Airport! He and Henry and Warner are on the way! It's definitely true!"
The bar suddenly felt jubilant, as if people had forgotten that they were discussing that Rogers was not able to succeed at a young age, but now there is a coach who is a teenager younger than Rogers. No one minds!
Bang bang bang bang!
Everyone drank the wine from the bottle in one sip, and then put it hard on the bar. They were going to Anfield!
......
When Stu Yunbing came to Anfield with the Liverpool boss and club president, he was dressed in a slim vest with shirt and trousers as he was in the Champions League final.
After Situ Yunbing walked out of John Lennon Airport, he felt the omnipresence and rapid response of the British Media Fleet Street!
When we arrived at the gate of Anfield, a large number of reporters had gathered outside, some of whom were obviously applauding and greetings with excitement!
Warner reminded Stu Yunbing in his ear: "The people who applauded there are from Echo. They support us. It is hard to say about the media outside Liverpool. Anyway, our open enemies have the Sun!"
Situ Yunbing still did some homework. Since the Heathborg tragedy in 1989, The Sun distorted the facts and reported that Liverpool fans stole the property of the deceased and stopped rescue in the tragedy, Liverpool has launched a boycott of the Sun for more than 20 years.
Situ Yunbing has never had any good feelings for the media and is unwilling to deal with them, so Werner's reminder is not necessary.
On May 30, Liverpool officials held a press conference, including boss Henry and chairman Warner. Situ Yunbing signed the work contract with a smile while sitting with his hands on the left and right.
The reporters on the scene took photos and recorded this moment.
Situ Yunbing then took a Liverpool jersey from his boss Henry that was delivered to Anfield Stadium an hour ago, with Situ Yunbing's name printed behind it.
Situ Yunbing showed off his jersey and took Liverpool's scarf and spread it over his head.
The inauguration ceremony was considered complete.
Henry and Werner took the initiative to stand aside and left the stage to Situ Yunbing alone, which also vaguely expressed the position that they would give Situ Yunbing enough power and autonomous status.
A reporter from The Times immediately asked Situ Yunbing: "Why did you reject Barcelona?"
In fact, Barcelona has not publicly invited Situ Yunbing. They all contacted them privately, but journalists with experience and information channels certainly know what happened behind their backs. Even if there is no conclusive evidence, they can still bluff to see the effect.
Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "Any rumors about my future no longer have the meaning of hype. I am now the head coach of Liverpool. This is the job I want. I will continue my coaching career here and impact my dreams even greater!"
Situ Yunbing will never be led by reporters.
So the Guardian reporter asked: "Why is Liverpool?"
The subtext is naturally that Liverpool ranked 8th in the Premier League last season, which is the worst ranking in Liverpool's Premier League era. It is already a down-and-out giant in name only!
Even the qualification for the Champions League is impossible. If it weren't for winning the League Cup last season, he wouldn't even have to play in the Europa League in the new season!
Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "Because Liverpool has never won the Premier League championship, because as a world-renowned club, Liverpool last won the Champions League in 2005, but now it is no longer qualified to compete in the European Champions League, because Liverpool has experienced management changes in the past few years, internal management chaos, and team building is a mess.
All of this means my workload will be very big and challenging at the same time!
I will work hard at Anfield to get everything back on track, to regain confidence in the team that has lost hope, and to make Liverpool competitive!”
It was probably a year ago that Situ Yunbing publicly rejected Manchester City, and Manchester City won the Premier League championship this year, so it is actually difficult for the outside world to understand why Situ Yunbing chose Liverpool. He obviously has a better place to go.
Situ Yunbing's answer made the reporters look at each other.
To be honest, he is not demeaning Liverpool, but it will not look good if you expose the scars like this.
Henry and Warner looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In fact, like these reporters, they are all familiar with and understand Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing added: "If this job is not challenging, I will not come here, and if Liverpool is a long-term successful club, I will not come here either.
I hope to be more rational when facing reality. I don’t want to say about Liverpool’s past glory again. Liverpool fans and some supporters have made these clichés!
If we still miss the past, Liverpool will not be able to open up a new situation. If we are still deceiving ourselves with our former honor, then everything may be irreversible when we wake up.
Today I became the head coach, and my work will begin at this time. Everyone in the club, including me, needs to adapt to new environments, new goals, and new challenges!
The era of lying on the honor book and waiting for death has passed, and Liverpool has been looked down upon by many people. What should we do?
Pretend to be invisible?
Then take out the glory of the last century as a basis for counterattack?
Of course not, we want to dye the sky of England and even Europe red, not Manchester United’s red, but Liverpool’s red!”
Liverpool's local reporters seemed very excited, and they stood up and applauded wildly!
But compared with the huge number of journalists on Fleet Street, these local people in Liverpool are not very eye-catching.
A reporter from bbc asked Situ Yunbing: "You carried out a major purge on the team when you took office in Hamburg and Monaco. Will you do the same thing in Liverpool?"
Situ Yunbing snapped his fingers and nodded, "Good question, people are always talking about building a team that needs to be progressive step by step and integrate the inheritance of club culture into team construction. This requires a process of time piling up, but looking at our surroundings, the times are progressing, we hope to cultivate talents, but we cannot cultivate enough talents!
So of course we have to sign ups and of course we have to eliminate the lineup.
The limit of being a player is only the strength of the mid-level Premier League. Do we need to spend time cultivating it?
Someone may say: How do you know where his limit lies?
Of course I can't be 100% sure, no one can be sure, but every coach has his own judgment. I have mine, Ferguson has Ferguson, and Wenger has Wenger.
We may make the same mistake, miscalculating a player's talent limit and misjudging a player's strength.
But this is one of our work. At present, I think there are less than 10 players in the Liverpool lineup that can help the team return to its peak and become a favorite for the Premier League championship. I can pronounce their names.
Suarez, Sterling, Carol, Henderson, Gerald, Scotter, Agel, Johnson, Enrique.
Please note that if I say these names, it does not mean that they will become the absolute main force of the team. They just meet the staffing standards of the championship team. Some people are positioned as substitutes or rotation players, while some players can become the main force.
I don’t know what’s left, maybe it may be a waste of time as a substitute.
In other words, if they are worthy of Liverpool and their ambition to compete for the championship, why did Liverpool only win eighth in the league last season?
You can't just put the blame on Darglish alone just because Darglish is gone, right?
I will clean up a group of players, I will introduce a group of players, and if the players are still on the team, I need them to convince me to keep them and give them trust with practical actions!
People always like to describe team transformation as a revolution. OK. Now I am going to carry out a revolution in Liverpool. Those who do not support me in the club can leave immediately. I will open the door to convenience. There is no personal grudge in it!
Because I am leading a team of Reds Liverpool, who competes for Premier League championships and European champions, is not a team that can find reasons to comfort themselves as long as one or two improvements next year than this year's league rankings!"
Situ Yunbing has begun to establish his authority during the interview at the inauguration ceremony!
Chapter completed!
