Chapter 1261： .1261 The opponent is out!

The Chinese team’s promotion to the top 16 of the World Cup actually had psychological expectations from the outside world before the end of the group stage, so it would not cause a sensation. Their real sensation was after the first two rounds of defeating Nigeria and drawing with Belgium.

Situ Yunbing dealt with the post-match interview and led the team back to the hotel, and then sat in the hotel restaurant with Alonzo, ordered some special dishes, a bottle of wine, and the two smiled and toasted each other.

Alonzo has led Liverpool to a pretty good record in the past few years. He has only lost one league title in four seasons, won a Champions League, and fell to the semi-finals three times.

On two occasions, the team was full of wounded soldiers. Either there was no one available on the front line and could only rely on young player Sancho and veteran Bell, or the midfield defense line was completely pieced together.

The invincible lineup created by Situ Yunbing in these years has indeed had a significant impact on the team's record due to injuries.

After Ironman Van Dijk is absent, Liverpool’s defender will be downshifted. If Kanter cannot play, then the world will know who is supporting the Liverpool midfield defense. If Casemiro gets injured again, then Liverpool The midfield defense has become very mediocre, and the striker Mbappe, Lewandowski and Sane can not play at the same time, then Liverpool's forward strength will also be greatly reduced. Among them, Lewandov Ski is another very important link, but he can't resist the impact of injuries.

In terms of coaching, Alonzo is only slightly inferior to Situ Yunbing in two aspects. One is the decisiveness of the on-the-spot response. After all, it is whether he can fight for his life with ideas and hesitate when he should be overwhelmed. Retreat. At this point, looking back at the key battles that Liverpool lost in the past four years, there is already an answer. The second point is the renewal of the team. Liverpool also tried signings to supplement the lineup, but the effect was not very good. Well, in the past four years, there have also been one or two Red Army players who have been labeled as parallel imports by Fleet Street.

But on the whole, looking at the record of the Red Army in the Premier League, it is still difficult for other teams to surpass.

So Alonzo's position is still very solid.

After all, there is currently no coach in European football that is recognized as capable of doing better than him.

Alonzo came to Qatar this time, not only to pay attention to the Chinese team's game, but also has the purpose of inspecting some candidates on the list of signings.

In addition to congratulating the Chinese team for their achievements, the two recalled the tragic past, and then Alonzo said to Situ Yunbing: "BOSS, I am very optimistic about Guo Xuantu. I hope to bring him to Liverpool next summer. ,what do you think?"

When Situ Yunbing took Guo Xuantu to Monaco, the entire European football scout system would list Guo Xuantu as a key observation target.

There was Zhao Fenghua before, and Luo Cheng and Luo Xin afterwards. In addition to the Chinese players' emergence in European football, the club is very ambitious about the commercial market carried by the players.

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "If you can guarantee that you will stay in Liverpool for at least 5 years, then I would recommend him to go to Liverpool, but if you can't make a guarantee, I don't think he is a good choice to go to Liverpool. I originally gave His plan is to play in Monaco for at least three years. Whether it is for the growth of skills and experience, or for his personal stable development, I hope he can lay a solid foundation in the early stage, and see where he can go when he is 21 years old, Bundesliga or La Liga is the first choice, Premier League? I never recommend Chinese players to go to the Premier League. Although they can hone the confrontation, the improvement they can get at the technical and tactical level is very limited, unless they can go to Manchester City or Liverpool."

Alonzo fell into deep thought, and smiled bitterly after a moment: "I can't make a guarantee. To be honest, I suddenly had an idea in the past year. I hope to start coaching from a small team, such as the Bundesliga or La Liga mid-range teams. Just like the Hamburg we went to together back then."

Situ Yunbing nodded and said: "This idea is very good. I guess your experience of some failures in the past few years has made you realize that you have no challenges in most of the time in Liverpool, but when the test comes, you will lack confidence, but mid-range ball. Teams are different. Almost every game is a test. We must be able to win against weak teams, and we must learn to survive between strong teams. The most important thing is that they can’t keep their core players. You have to cultivate freshness for the team yourself. Blood, and these are things you can hardly have the opportunity to experience and face in Liverpool."

Alonzo nodded in agreement, Situ Yunbing said the main point.

Situ Yunbing can actually understand Alonzo's situation. When Liverpool go smoothly, winning the championship is just a matter of course.

But once Taishun's team encounters a crisis, it is not a temporary intention to deal with the crisis, but definitely requires experience and ability!

Alonzo's coaching career started not badly, but the starting point was too high, which often made him less experienced in the bottom-up process.

After Guo Xuantu's matter was over, Alonzo was no longer at ease. After a long talk with Situ Yunbing, he also made up his mind to leave Liverpool next summer to coach a mid-range team to continue learning and accumulate experience.

......

In addition to celebrating the team’s promotion to the World Cup round of 16, Chinese fans will start to pay more attention to the situation in Group D. The situation in Group D is a bit chaotic. There are three teams who have the hope of qualifying before the final match.

Spain, Mexico, Sweden.

The Chinese team will face the second place in this group in the knockout round.

If you start from the perspective of selecting opponents, then Chinese fans will cheer for Spain, hoping that Spain can get the first place in the group.

As for Mexico or Sweden, the second place in the group is better than Spain's second place.

I am afraid that Belgium is just thinking about it. They even hope that Spain will not get second place, either in the group first, or simply go home.

The next night, all Chinese team members watched the final match of Group D in the hotel.

Situ Yunbing also watched the game very seriously. When the Chinese team reached the top 16 of the World Cup, his game challenge task was only the last level!

As long as he leads the Chinese team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, he will be free from this survival game for more than ten years!

For the first time, the players saw Situ Yunbing holding a notebook while watching the game, making records, which made everyone more serious about watching the game. The communication between each other was also very solemn, for fear of interruption. The work of Situ Yunbing.

Generally, Situ Yunbing only works like this in his office or alone, but he has to buy time.

The picture on the big screen is divided into two areas, two games are played at the same time, and the Chinese team is also watching two games at the same time.

Situ Yunbing didn't have a trace of distraction, his eyes switched back and forth between the two games.

It seems to be one mind and two purposes, but his thinking is very clear.

Record the usual lines and play styles of these teams on offense, the role of core players, the deployment adjustments on defense, and those players whose free play may bring unexpected impact.

Before leaving for the World Cup, the Chinese team conducted a detailed investigation of the three teams in Group D, from personnel to play, and the study of the game. Therefore, Situ Yunbing will not be confused if he has done enough homework. He has a very comprehensive understanding of the players on the table.

When the game is over, Situ Yunbing has written all of his thick notebooks. He will go back to summarize and rearrange the useful information.

In the end, Spain took the top spot in the group, Sweden was out, and Mexico ranked second in the group.

In this way, it would be useless for Situ Yunbing to record information about Sweden tonight, but he did not feel that his energy and time were wasted at all.

The Spanish information may not be available now, but what if it will be useful in the future?

As for Mexico, it will be the opponent of the Chinese team, so first-hand intelligence is worth a thousand dollars.

The generals of the Chinese team also know the opponents in the 1/8 finals in the future. It is hard to say that they are relieved by avoiding Spain, but at least they have reduced some pressure and become more combative!

Now every step forward will be a new history of Chinese football!

The advantage of the Chinese team is one more day off than Mexico, and the Chinese team can prepare and understand the opponent earlier than Mexico.

It is conceivable that it is impossible for Mexico to consider who will play in the 1/8 finals before the end of the group stage.

When they reached the top 16 and looked back on the Chinese team, they were also behind the Chinese team in time.

Researching opponents is for better preparation, but the Chinese team has more time to prepare!

No reminder from Situ Yunbing, the coaching staff asked the players to go back to the room to rest.

Situ Yunbing continued to work after returning to the room, sorting out information, and at the same time asking Feng Kuoyang to bring in the Mexico information he had previously prepared, as well as the videos of the two Mexico games before the group stage.

Seeing that the time was late, Feng Kuoyang reminded Situ Yunbing to rest early, but Situ Yunbing smiled at him and shook his head, saying, "After the World Cup is over, I have a lot of time to rest."

Feng Kuoyang seemed to realize something, so he stayed in Situ Yunbing's room to provide assistance to Situ Yunbing.

Once upon a time, Situ Yunbing and Alonzo also spent time in the hotel, forgetting to eat and sleep. In recent years, he has rarely done this. After all, time is not forgiving, and men must pay attention to body maintenance after 30 years of age.

But now it is the World Cup. After the group stage, the time for preparation is very tight, so Situ Yunbing started working overtime again.

The next day, during training, the players saw Situ Yunbing standing on the sidelines with a coffee cup in his hand. The coaching staff sorted out many targeted deployment plans for the next game, and then made each player keep in mind. The players No need to think about it and know that this is the result of work that Situ Yunbing made almost staying up late.

They will not be moved in their hearts, only more lofty respect.

Therefore, it is more serious to complete the training requirements of the coaching staff.
