Although Gilardino's words did not clearly express his position, they still made Li Bin quite happy. After all, the players did not oppose him, which was an inevitable part of the process of becoming a head coach.
"What a good player, why can't he produce results despite being coached by Baldini?" Borg sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
Li Bin did not answer him. This question cannot be explained to Borg.
Piazza had long suspected that Li Bin was secretly preparing something, and Li Bin was indeed ready. Li Bin knew very well that it was no secret that he wanted to be a head coach, but the problem with wanting to be a head coach was actually
Just three.
One is his age, one is his nationality, and the other is that he has no experience as a professional player - these are his three obstacles.
In terms of age, he is too young. At 30 years old, if he is a player, he can be called a veteran, but as a head coach, he is too young. The average age of coaches in Serie A this season is 50 years old
, and Li Bin is still far away from that age. Not just in Serie A, but among the five major leagues, the Bundesliga has the lowest average age. The average age of the coaches of the 18 teams is 46.5 years old. The media exclaimed that they are all young coaches, and 30 years old...
Too young.
Generally speaking, football coaches are retired players, which determines that there are very few young people in this position. No matter how talented they are, they retire at the age of thirty-one or twelve, and it takes two or three years to learn tactics, and then three
You start your career at the age of fifteen, and after a few more years of training, you will have to be in your forties when you really achieve results. Thirty is a young age among coaches.
Age may not seem like a big deal, but it is a matter of qualifications after all. Generally speaking, positions like coaches require wily and resourceful people. The more thoughtful they are, the easier it is to achieve results. As for young people, it is always
The thinking is not thorough enough. Speaking of which, Li Bin only knows one thing when the young marshal is in power recently:
In 2000, the British Virgin Islands hired the 23-year-old Portuguese Boas as coach, and the result... 18 months later, the British Virgin Islands lost to Bermuda 1-14, and Boas I experienced get out of class for the first time in my life.
This is still an outstanding coach who will be famous in the future, but he was so miserable at the beginning of his career. There are examples like this. It is not so easy for other young people to get to the top.
In fact, such a problem is very real. Li Bin himself knows very well that if he goes to Milan to be a coach now, everyone will definitely take care of himself-when half of the players in the locker room are older than the coach,
Coaching is indeed not easy.
The nationality issue is the same. At the beginning of the 2004-05 Serie A season, one team had only one foreign coach, Zeman, and the other nineteen teams were all local coaches. In Italy, foreign coaches are very difficult to recruit.
It is something that people want to see. In fact, in recent years, the only ones who have won the league championship in Serie A are
In 2000, Eriksson coached Lazio. In addition, going back further, it has to go back to Boskov's Sampdoria championship in 1991, and Ridholm's 1983 championship.
Roma's champion. The next one in Li Bin's memory is Mourinho, who coached Inter Milan.
Moreover, not only are there few foreign coaches, but foreign coaches coaching in Serie A are also easily subject to various doubts. Of course, there is no need to talk about Zeman. He went to stir up a hornet's nest on his own and was kicked out of Italy by Moggi.
The Turkish Terim coached Milan and was disgusted by the Milan Cavaliers table headed by Baresi, Maldini and others.
Evil also tried every means to exclude him, and his final dismissal was also due to his mistakes during the ultimatum inspection period: when Milan got a penalty kick opportunity, he asked Inzaghi, who had recently transferred to Milan, to take the penalty kick.
And Inzaghi did not hesitate, he kicked an anti-aircraft gun, the football flew into the sky, and sent Terim directly to leave Milan...
Even when Mourinho coached Inter Milan in the future, he received almost no media support from the beginning to the end. Until he won the Triple Crown, there were still media who thought he was lucky and always thought he was lucky.
He is not a master tactician, I think he is just a lucky guy who tries to impress others.
The third problem is that he has never played professional football. People who have never played football are technically weak after all. They often do not know how to cultivate the players' abilities and how to make the players improve. This way
Although the coach can help the players achieve results, players are human beings after all. They will also think about themselves and their own progress. If the coach cannot help them, they will naturally be unhappy.
When Benitez was coaching Liverpool, Reina satirized him directly in person: Have you ever played professional football? Mourinho, coaching Real Madrid, criticized Ramos for his wrong position. Ramos responded directly: My choice was right.
, you don’t understand if you haven’t played football. After Mourinho left, Ronaldo also said in an interview: Ancelotti is a good coach. He has played football and knows the feelings of the players - these words
Just point your nose and scold Mourinho.
The three problems are problems that Li Bin must overcome. And Li Bin will naturally consider how to resolve these problems one by one.
The first problem is age, but this is not a big problem: the biggest trouble with age is that he cannot convince the crowd in the locker room. But Li Bin has been in Parma for a long time, and there are many young people in Parma, so he should be able to suppress it.
After all, the coach who came from the team's youth training has some advantages when it comes to locker room issues. And although he is only thirty years old, Parma is now a solid young guard.
The second question is the reaction of the external environment of Serie A. If a foreign coach angers everyone around him, it will be unlucky. Zeman was kicked out for exposing banned drugs, Mourinho was suspended for doing handcuffs, Serie A
It's quite dark. If someone really caused public outrage and was targeted, let alone Li Bin, even if Sacchi took over, he would still have to kneel down.
However, Li Bin thinks this problem is not a big problem. First of all, he has been in Serie A for a long time. Although it is impossible for his skin to change color, it is enough to give him good connections. Although Li Bin
He doesn't expect those guys to praise him as a new generation of young marshals, but at least they won't plot against him behind his back, which is enough. Of course, it's not boring for him to deliberately make friends with the top three in the north. His goal has always been clear: let those guys
People who hold public opinion and power
, so as not to oppose yourself. Moreover, most of Parma's players are of Italian nationality. Except for goalkeeper Frei, left midfielder Bresciano, midfielder Guerrera and Simplicio, everyone else is Italian, and Bresciano
, Guerrera, and Simplicio are all of Italian descent and have Italian nationality - even if the media wants to criticize such a team, for the sake of their own citizens, they will be a little lenient.
As for the third question... As Li Bin's assistant coach, Esposito's biggest role is to help players with technical training. With his help, this aspect will not be a problem.
These three questions are also the most important part of Li Bin's preparations this summer.
After all, Li Bin is in charge of the team's transfer power. When he wants to create a good environment for himself, he can do it himself. This summer, when he discovered that Baldini was not suitable for the team, he
Just started making preparations.
The team's board of directors is gone. Naturally, there is no one to point fingers at the team under trusteeship. The management personnel have been lost. Li Bin and Barardi are divided into two parts. The coaching staff supports Li Bin and now has the locker room.
support, the entire team basically fell in favor of
Li Bin - Li Bin has enough supporters in the current team. Now, he can fight for his rights - Li Bin has taken a very steady step step by step. He did not get to the position by meeting a good boss.
Yes, the current situation was created by himself.
It took Baldini three years to lead the team and it took them three years to advance to Serie A. There was improvement every year, but it was never a leap forward. It can be seen that although he understands tactics, he must have players who can match his tactics to be able to exert his strength and habits.
Yu gradually introduced the right players to adapt to his tactics. And he continued to
Several teams have fallen out. Temper is one possibility, and another possibility is that the tactical requirements are too strict. No matter which one, they are the type of head coaches that young people don't like. And young people's poor tactical execution ability is also inconsistent with
His demands, in general, were opposed to those of the young people.
The players Li Bin introduced are all young people, and they are all Italians. This is for their own sake. Young people suit Li Bin's needs, but they are not suitable for Baldini's needs. These people are indeed capable.
However, Li Bin didn't believe that Baldini led them to achieve results. It was like a Sichuan chef who was very good at cooking, but the ingredients prepared for him were saury, crab, etc. It was strange that he could cook them well.
Li Bin does not think that he is plotting against him - if he is really capable, the lineup he left behind is not bad, and he will definitely be able to lead the team to achieve results. If that is the case, Li Bin will be helpless. And if Li Bin really wants to plot against him
, go to the minor leagues
After recruiting several people, the issues of skin color, race, language, and religion were all brought together for him. The locker room issues alone were enough to make Baldini collapse and resign. Li Bin did not do that, but gave him a theory
Players who can produce results,
And if his ability is not enough, then Li Bin will not care. If his ability is enough and the team has results, Li Bin is right; if his ability is not enough, Li Bin can also achieve results by replacing him. Li Bin is right.
As the scouting director, the people Li Bin bought for him were all good. Li Bin was worthy of his position and did not mess around. As for saying sorry for Baldini... Baldini was not his friend in the first place.
Why should Li Bin be kind to the person who disturbed his birthday party?
Li Bin himself said that he had a clear conscience and he had done it.
Li Bin did have a clue, but in the final analysis, such a thing is still a question of Baldini's ability. The assassin does not necessarily have to collude with the players to oppose the coach, nor does he necessarily have to recruit a group of bad players to let the other side coach him.
Problem. Find good players, but I can use them but you can't. This is the best way.
Opportunities are made by oneself and cannot be waited for. Having studied in Italy for ten years, Li Bin knows that Italy rejects foreigners. He also knows that opportunities cannot come by waiting. If you want opportunities, you have to know how.
Strive for opportunities for yourself. Rely on your own tactical knowledge, analyze the opponent's disadvantages, and analyze your own
Advantages, and then introduce players who are good for you and bad for your opponents, and you can't find anyone to complain about after plotting against them - the tactics you have learned for so long must be put to use. The Serie A environment discriminates against foreigners, and I am very
If it is difficult to get to the top, then you have to make plans for yourself so that you can get to the top.
Barardi and others suppressed themselves and played tricks because they were foreigners and too young. So, don’t blame yourself for playing tricks, retaliating with teeth, and fighting for opportunities for yourself. It is normal for them not to be able to see through their own plans.
There is enough information, but without enough summary, I am afraid that Baldini himself is not clear about the determination of his coaching thoughts. How could he be aware of Li Bin's trap?
The only miscalculation was that Baldini was so stupid that he brought a European team to the relegation zone. This is really beyond imagination.
But it won't be long. Now, after Gilardino expressed his stance, Li Bin also knows the mentality of the team's locker room. At this time, it is his turn to attack.
"Now, it's time for us to find the media, say something, and put pressure on Barardi." Li Bin murmured to himself.
"Oh, by the way, speaking of media issues - when you were not on the team, a Chinese reporter came several times and wanted to interview you," Borg said.
"Chinese reporter?" Li Bin was surprised, thinking of the girl who interviewed him that day, "Very good, he came at the right time. The Chinese reporter... is even better than the Italian reporter."
