Su Yun was a little busy. But before the Premier League started, Su Yun wanted to visit someone.
I should say go take a look.
Look at Houllier in hospital.
In fact, after the FA Cup final, Su Yun went to the hospital once. But at that time, Houllier had just completed surgery. And it was a heart surgery, which required a quiet environment.
What patients with heart disease need most at this time is to rest and not have too many people visit them.
Houllier seems to be quite popular.
In other words, Houllier's heart disease scared everyone. Houllier was the first head coach to be carried out in the FA Cup final. Therefore, it shocked the British football world.
Regardless of their relationship with Houllier, many people in the football world will take the time to go and have a look at him.
There are too many people coming to see him, so the hospital has time regulations for visiting guests. It is only open for a few hours a day. Only during this time can you see Houllier.
Therefore, Su Yun's turn is already very rare.
So when Su Yun went to see Houllier, Houllier was very tired. Su Yun just glanced at Houllier from a distance.
Su Yun only went to see Houllier out of politeness.
It's definitely not because of any friendship between Su Yun and Houllier. Speaking of which, the two of them don't even have the slightest personal relationship. Apart from meeting during the game, there has never been any communication off the court.
In the current British football world, if there is a personal relationship, Su Yun only has some friendship with Redknapp, the former head coach of West Ham United.
It's just that Houllier was carried off during the game against Chelsea after all.
Su Yun always thought that he should go and take a look.
Now Houllier has left the hospital. One month after the operation, Houllier left the urban hospital and then went to a nursing home in the suburbs.
Very good.
The cost is very expensive and cannot be enjoyed by ordinary people.
Of course Houllier himself is very rich. Moreover, Houllier did not need to pay for this money, as Liverpool Club reimbursed it.
It just so happened that there were still a few days before the start of the league. Su Yun took the time to see Houllier.
Su Yun can drive, but Su Yun is generally unwilling to drive. The main reason is that Su Yun is not familiar with London. Although Su Yun was in London when he first arrived in England, he has now come to London to coach again.
Chelsea.
But I am very unfamiliar with London.
Except for the area around Chelsea and his own home, Su Yun is very unfamiliar with London.
So this time I went to see Houllier as Su Yun's driver.
"Oh, Sue. You're here."
Su Yun called Houllier before going to see him.
In China, when you go to visit a casual friend, you need to say hello in advance. What's more, in England, even if you are a close friend, it is polite to say hello in advance when you want to meet.
Su Yun and Houllier just knew each other.
So before coming here, Su Yun called to see if Houllier was okay.
Houllier was very happy to receive Su Yun's call.
"Hello, Coach Houllier." Su Yun smiled and walked in, but was stunned for a moment when he was halfway in. Because there was not only Houllier alone, but also someone accompanying Houllier.
He is an old acquaintance of Su Yun.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Su Yun had heard that Wenger and Houllier had a good relationship before. They had known each other before they became coaches. They had known each other for more than 20 years. As for whether it was true, Su Yun did not seek the truth. After all, this
It's none of Su Yun's business.
And there are not many French coaches in the Premier League.
Wenger and Houllier are considered the most successful and famous. They are both compatriots, so it is possible that they have a better relationship.
But seeing two people talking and laughing there today, Su Yun knew that the previous rumors were probably not false. The relationship between the two should be good.
"Coach Wenger, hello."
Su Yun still has a good impression of Wenger.
Among England's two giant coaches, Ferguson and Wenger, Su Yun has always had some respect for Ferguson. This old man is not simple. After Su Yun came to England, Ferguson's Manchester United has been the dominant player in the Premier League.
Throughout England, Manchester United led by Ferguson is the real overlord. The overlord that no one can shake.
Su Yun was in awe of such a champion coach.
As for Wenger, Su Yun admires him.
Arsene Wenger from France has subtly changed the entire British football world in the past five years.
English football is a very conservative place.
It is difficult for many outsiders to integrate and succeed. Su Yun was able to reach this point through a lot of unknown belief. But Wenger not only succeeded himself, but also brought huge changes to the British football world.
Many clubs in England are now affected by Wenger. Just like English clubs did not pay attention to training six or seven years ago, or even three or four years ago.
In the traditional thinking of English football, as long as the game is good, training is a by-product. Therefore, what English football values is is that players go all out in the game.
As for what you do outside of the game, you don't care.
But Wenger's arrival completely changed the thinking of British football.
Wenger has changed the situation in English football. Now the English football world attaches great importance to training. It cannot but be said that they are all influenced by Wenger.
In addition to this, including digital analysis and player diet, all have undergone huge changes because of Wenger.
Su Yun admires such a coach.
"Hello, Sue."
For Wenger and Houllier, Su Yun is still too young. Wenger and Houllier are now over 50 years old, while Su Yun is only 35 years old.
Still a young man.
"Coach Houllier, how are you doing?"
Su Yun sat down and asked Houllier about his body.
"It's nothing big. In a few months, I will be able to return to work. Then we can continue to compete." Houllier's voice was low.
But I don’t have any signs of qi deficiency after the surgery.
On the contrary, he was in good spirits.
"I look forward to that time."
After finishing speaking, Su Yun and Houllier simply said some useless content. Su Yun is by no means the kind of person who can take the initiative in a topic. Especially when talking to strangers.
Houllier is half a stranger to Su Yun.
Wenger and Houllier also noticed it. So they continued the topic while Su Yun listened quietly.
Su Yun could only shake his head as he listened.
Are these two old men crazy?
It's really boring.
They even talked about some team building issues here. Su Yun wanted to leave directly, but felt it was not polite. So he continued to sit and listen to what they said.
These two are indeed the coaches who build the team's tactics.
This is what is being discussed.
And it inspired Su Yun a lot in many aspects.
"Su, are you bored?" Wenger said to Su Yun.
Su Yun shook his head.
"Su, you already have the conditions for success in many aspects. But the biggest problem with your team is that there are too many changes in style. To build a team with stable results over a long period of time, what is most needed is a stable tactic.
Or a stable core."
Wenger said with a smile.
Of course, Wenger doesn't care whether Su Yun listens or not, because in Wenger's heart, Su Yun is just a child. Although his grades are outstanding, he is still just a young man.
"Manchester United is spending a lot of money this summer. Are you scared?"
Su Yun shrugged.
Su Yun was indeed frightened at that time. Su Yun knew this very well. But Su Yun would never admit it in front of outsiders because it would be too embarrassing.
Wenger did not wait for Su Yun's answer and continued: "You are from China, so you should understand dialectics. Spending a lot of money to buy players has good and bad sides. Needless to say, the good side. But not
There is a good side too.”
At this time, Wenger really looked like a professor.
Like a professor teaching his students.
"I watched the Charity Shield match. Ferguson wanted to make Veron the core of Manchester United. If he performs well, of course everything will be fine. But once Veron performs poorly, Manchester United will collapse as a whole. A new player wants to integrate into the ball.
Building a team takes time. And it is even more difficult to buy a player to be the core of the team. So he spent 70 million pounds, which seems like a lot. In fact, you don't have to worry at all."
"What you need is to continue to follow your own ideas step by step."
Wenger was very calm when he said this.
By this time, Su Yun was already listening very seriously.
Su Yun didn't answer anything.
But I was greatly inspired. Compared with famous coaches like Wenger, what I lacked was experience and psychological training. In the summer, I heard about Manchester United’s transfer amount of more than 70 million pounds. I saw Veron and Ferdinand.
, Ruud Ruud, Blanco and other famous players joined, Su Yun felt a lot of pressure.
Although I didn’t say anything outside, I was always under great pressure.
That's why I was so excited after defeating Manchester United.
Wenger is right.
That's it.
If Su Yun wants to build a dominant team like Manchester United, he cannot be led by other teams.
"kindness."
Although Su Yun didn't reply, Wenger didn't care.
Wenger and Su Yun have no personal relationship, but when seeing a young coach like Su Yun, Wenger couldn't help but mention him.
Houllier smiled beside him.
Although he lost the duel with Su Yun, Houllier will not hold grudges against him. Considering his age and his work experience, Houllier is no longer the age to be competitive.
On the way back, Su Yun shook his head.
This time I just went to see how Houllier was recovering. Unexpectedly, I met Wenger.
This was their first meeting in private outside the stadium.
Along the way, Su Yun kept thinking about what Wenger said. Although Wenger only had one league championship, Su Yun had always admired Wenger.
I also slowly thought about what he said.
What makes a strong team? How can we avoid two consecutive defeats in the league?
Su Yun is slowly considering these.
…………
"By the way, why are there so few reporters recently?"
Su Yun suddenly thought of something in the car. After Chelsea won four crowns, it became a sensation in English football. The media was reporting on it.
But recently, Su Yun found that there were a lot fewer reporters in China.
They should be crazier than usual.
"They've all returned to China. Who has time to care about this place now?"
