Section 378 General List
Regarding Ferguson's failure to mention Manchester City in the season outlook, Li Bin estimated that he didn't mean it, but really didn't take Manchester City too seriously - although Tottenham Hotspur played very rubbish last season, but the team was able to find a few internationals and fringe internationals, the strength is not strong, but it is not particularly bad, but on the Manchester City side, it is okay to have a full Richards, counting the reserves, that is, there is one more Hart, one more Sturridge, and the current Manchester City, the foundation is still too thin.
After hearing Manchester City's words, the media immediately took them to ask Ferguson. And in the face of the displeasure of his local rivals, Ferguson was also very straightforward, "Do I need to remember every team that competes for the top four? Forget it, forget it, Manchester United don't care who the top four is. ”
Such words make the media have no way to hype. Ferguson's attitude was too tough for them to speak. Although they can say something like Ferguson provoking Manchester City, stirring up conflicts...... Even if Ferguson was really provocative, what did they dare to say? He's Alex Ferguson, this is the Premier League, and no one dares to mess with Ferguson.
Journalists did not dare to report on Ferguson's views on Manchester City, but they dared to ask Li Bin what he thought of Mancini. As an old rival of Serie A, they also hope that Li Bin will sarcastically say a few words about Mancini, and also let them have something to say. However, Li Bin did not have any words of dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he praised Mancini - also as a coach from Serie A, when he arrived in the Premier League, he was a weaker, and Li Bin didn't want to fight with him.
"Manchester City will be a team with a lot of future. Roberto Mancini has made a few signings very well, very good, and I'm very optimistic about Kompany and Zabaleta, who will give City a qualitative improvement – but until then, I think they need some time to build up and break out right away, it's not that easy. ”
What Ferguson said actually makes sense: it's already in the race for fourth, where is there so much nonsense? Isn't it just to play football honestly? Li Bin is not thick-skinned enough to hold the top four in the league as an honor, and it is not a bad thing to be low-key.
The new season is about to start, and Li Bin has also dealt with the things that should be sold in his hands: the current Tottenham also has a few young people's affairs that need to be dealt with.
The bought Ramsey is going to be rented out, and the young Tarabut in the youngster is also going to be rented out, as well as O'Hara, and the youngster Danny Ross, they also have to consider renting out the Lu to exercise...... There are also a few good Academy players in Tottenham, in addition to these few, Jack Livermore, Kelly Walker, and Cox are all likely to play.
In the first two years, Tottenham's idea of using a scouting director has always been to buy young players to develop locally, which gives Tottenham a lot of young local players to cultivate. Although most of these people are not successful, if they are well trained, maybe there will be a few players among them who are qualified to play at Tottenham - Li Bin is not very demanding, and he can meet the requirements of the substitute lineup. Moreover, even if you really can't use it, you can sell it at a good price in the future if you accumulate so many household registration books.
However, these English players are not easy to develop - fortunately, the former scouting director Comori has left, and if I remember correctly, he will soon be taking over to Liverpool, which can be regarded as the most influential decision Tottenham have made all summer - this is the one that really affected the landscape.
Li Bin said that although he sold Berbatov to Manchester City and introduced Dzeko to Manchester United, the impact on the strength of Manchester City and Manchester United was not too great. These two teams, one is too rich and the other is too poor, neither of them can be changed by Berbatov, and his own intervention is at most to make them change a little, but there will not be too many changes. But Comogli goes to Liverpool, and that's a big deal.
Although Li Bin cheated Liverpool a lot of money, Liverpool's most fundamental problem is still their boss. Liverpool still have a long way to go to change the situation: first, they have to rely on the power of their local fans to get rid of the American owner. Second, they have to realize that the management of local fans and players is outdated, and third, they have to find a core player and team coach who can lead the team to re-emerge, this process is very difficult, there is a day to go, Comoli goes, they will only sink deeper - Li Bin has always felt that on the side of Manchester United, Ferguson has been noncommittal about the Red Knights wanting to get rid of the owner, that is, because he can see that the fans are in control of Manchester United, which is not good for Manchester United.
Mastering the team still has to rely on professional skills, not relying on the fans to let whoever they like. That's true for the players, it's true for the coaches.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Bin decided to rent out Tarabut, Ramsey, and Danny Ross first, and the post-90s youngsters stayed in the reserves.
O'Hara was left behind because he could play in multiple positions, from midfield to the back line, and he could play a role and stay ready for emergencies. Jack-of-all-trades players, it doesn't hurt to keep one, and if something happens, it can be solved. As for several other people, Ramsey is a little young and still needs to be trained, Tarabut's strength is okay, but unfortunately, his type of player can really play a role in the top confrontation, that is, a good long-range shot, but Li Bin also has Kevin Boateng in his hand, even if he really wants to play a long shot, he can't be used, in contrast, Talabut is not strong enough, so he will naturally be loaned out.
And to rent out the location of Lu, Li Bin also thought about it. A player like Tarabut is suitable for playing the core of a weak team, find a low-level team, and be willing to give him the core position in the midfield. Ramsey has some tricks, and he has to be careful when he finds a place.
After thinking about it, Li Bin rented Tarabut to Queens Park Rangers and Ramsey to Swansea: the former is a good fit for Tarabut, and the latter is a Welsh team, and Ramsey may be able to play well if he goes. As for Danny Rose, as a left-back, he is almost the same everywhere, and Li Bin is not too picky, just put it up for rent.
And after dealing with these people, Li Bin also went to the youth team and promoted the 21-year-old young goalkeeper David Burton to be the third goalkeeper - anyway, the two in front of him will not have too many problems, and the third goalkeeper Li Bin feels that there is no need to find another one that is too strong, just make do with it.
Originally, Alvik was a better choice, but because Li Bin didn't like his style and terminated his contract, David Burton was lucky to become another member of Tottenham's first team.
Hopefully he can play well - this is the only person Li Binji is outside of the line, and he is also a little uneasy. Especially when he saw that the goalkeeper coach of Tottenham's youth team was named Tony Parker, he had this idea, but fortunately, this is Tottenham's goalkeeper coach, not the Spurs' point guard......
After making these arrangements, Li Bin looked at his team, sorted out the new list, and told himself in his heart that the new season and new situation were about to start.
The team's squad has been decided, and next season, Li Bin will also lead the team to play in the Premier League.
Goalkeepers: Neuer, Handanovic, David Burton
Defenders: Kolarov, Ledley King, Thiago Silva, Piszczek, Dawson, Woodgate, Jerome Boateng
Midfielders: Bale, Lennon, Gustavo, Yaya Toure, Di Maria, Hoddlestone, Jenas, Kevin Boateng, O'Hara
Forwards: Suarez, Cavani, Darren Bent
These 22 people are the Tottenham squad for the new season. Although it still seems a little thin, it is enough to play a one-line game. Although this number is less than the number of applicants for the Premier League team, Li Bin also knows that it is not so easy to get together 25 available people. Speaking of which, there are only 17 people in Barcelona at the peak, and they still don't play the same football? There are not many expensive soldiers, and I don't need more people.
"There's nothing else to do," after finishing the list, when talking to Levi, Li Bin also made a most obscure request, "But, if possible, you'd better find someone to clean up White Hart Lane." I know you're all thinking about moving to a new stadium, but before you go to the new stadium, at least this is still our home stadium, right? But if you look at that, there are cobwebs everywhere, looking at this kind of pitch, how do you put the players in the mood to play? I'm not asking for any renovations, I'm going to let you expand the interview area, you probably won't spend money, but at least, it's cleaned, especially in the dressing room, if there's no place to put your feet in the dressing room, what are the players going to play? Also, I remembered: the last time I asked the staff for directions in the stadium, they told me I didn't know what to do! I know that many of the stadium staff are friends and relatives introduced by retired celebrities, so it's not easy to dismiss, but at least, don't give me nonsense to this point! ”
"I'll consider solving this problem." In this regard, Levy can only smile bitterly, the current health situation of Tottenham is indeed a headache, "You can rest assured, this is not a big problem." I'd like to ask you more than that, do you think we can really finish in the top four? ”
"The words of the media are not credible. If you really want to see it, you might as well take a look at the betting odds. ”
"Last year, we were favored to be fourth."
You guys played too weirdly last year, Li Bin complained, but he still spoke again, "Well, we don't look at betting odds, it's more realistic and reliable." Have you read the schedule for the new season? ”
Levi nodded.
'We've got games in the third round for Chelsea, Arsenal in the seventh, Manchester United in the eleventh round, Liverpool in the nineteenth round – it's a good fit. The only advantage of playing Chelsea at the end of August is that we have a distraction from European and national team games at home, and in other things, we don't have a big advantage, so it's hard to win. 11 rounds against Manchester United, November is the most fierce time in the Premier League, we are still at Old Trafford, this game is also difficult. However, playing Arsenal at the beginning of October was quite an interesting arrangement. After six rounds, we should be strong, Arsenal is just starting a two-line battle, when the physical strength is a little troublesome, this can be considered to win, as for the 19th round of Liverpool - 19 rounds are not important, 38 rounds are important, that is the most difficult stage, the FA let us fight to the death with Liverpool. ”
Speaking of the schedule, Li Bin also had some smiles on the corners of his mouth, "Liverpool did not play well last season, falling to the fourth place with Arsenal, people underestimate them, this season, the Premier League arranged for us to meet in the last round, just to see if I can take a place in the top four." Don't look at England who are very proud of their BIG4, but the FA listened to what we had to say and really thought I had the ability to disrupt the Premier League. So good, let them see - subvert the rule of BIG4, who else can I be? ”
