Section 374 Suarez
By mid-July, two days before the Tottenham-Burnley match, Tottenham's last deal of the summer had finally been completed. They bought striker Suarez from Ajax in the Netherlands, completing the last piece of their main lineup.
The deal cost £18 million and came about a month earlier than Li Bin expected. Originally, Li Bin planned to buy people after the league started, but who knew that the Dutch national team won the European Cup, which made the strength of the Eredivisie players improved. What's even more helpless is that when Van Basten visited Milan after the game, the player recommended to Milan was Suarez, which made Li Bin have to speed up the pace of buying people and brought him to England - although he also knows that the current Milan is poor and has no money to buy a striker, but everything is afraid of what if, this is Van Basten's recommendation, Van Basten has just won the European Cup, and when his value doubled, it is difficult to guarantee that Berlusconi will not remember his previous number, in case he gritted his teeth and paid the money? And, taking a step back, even if Milan didn't pay for it, what if other teams stopped Van Basten's recommendation to buy people? Li Bin didn't want to surprise his expected situation, so he didn't hesitate to raise the offer and snatch Suarez.
And immediately in the away friendly against Burnley, Suarez was given the opportunity to come on as a substitute for Tottenham. And his appearance was immediately eye-catching.
When he came on the pitch, Tottenham was already 2-0 ahead, although Darren Bent was still playing inactive and couldn't find any ideas at all, but Tottenham played a Championship team, there are still not too many problems. Suarez's appearance did not feel particularly strange, and many people seemed to think that even if he played, he would only show his face and was unlikely to have anything to play.
However, Suarez was quick to realize that the idea was wrong. After he came on the field, he immediately began a wide range of retreats, after receiving the ball in a deep retreat, he ran forward, gave the ball to Cavani who received him next to him with a kick back pass, Yaya Toure received the ball directly over the top and picked the pass, Suarez received the ball in the penalty area, turned around, and shot the ball into the near corner!
Breakthroughs, passes, grabbing points, and shooting, all of his skills are brought into full play. In just one game, he showed everyone how good he really is.
"It's as if we've seen another powerful supernova rising in the Premier League – Suarez's strength is definitely enough to shock the Premier League!"
The media gave him a very high evaluation immediately after the game. However, Li Bin thinks this is not a strange thing: he is playing on the field as a substitute for Darren Bent, Darren Bent has played very badly in these games, he can't understand the tactics arranged by Li Bin at all, and he always wants to play his own style of football in the middle, and he doesn't know how to cooperate at all.
However, although he disagrees with the media, Li Bin also admits that Suarez does have his quality - at least for Tottenham now, he is a real thigh-level player.
Suarez's left and right feet are balanced, his skills are delicate and not at all like a 180cm striker, and his shooting skills are also very good, he can have a very good future - the most rare thing is that this player also has a good brain, when Li Bin talked to him about tactics, he quickly drew inferences from himself and said Li Bin's thoughts.
"I think the most important thing about you having Edinson and me cross-position is not our ability to take chances, but our ability to create them, right?" Obviously, Suarez is very good in terms of ball intelligence, Cavani can only execute, but he immediately realizes the intention, "Edinson is not the kind of striker who has unbeatable shooting skills, and neither am I. The two of us are up front and the number of goals we have conceded over the course of a season will definitely surprise you. However, you dare to arrange it this way, mainly because of his scrambling and my skills, and I hope that we can create skills in the front court to make up for the lack of opportunities in the current counter-attacking football, right? ”
It's good to talk to smart people - Li Bin just had this idea: Suarez is obviously very smart, and he saw the intention of Li Bin's tactical arrangement: because next season, the team will mainly play defensive counterattacks, defensive counterattack tactics, it is difficult to get too many opportunities, and even in some extreme cases, there is no chance in a game. Li Bin didn't want that to happen, so he chose the two strikers who were most able to create chances, Suarez's skill and creativity, and Cavani's scrambling and running, and the combination of the two could turn many situations that weren't chances into chances. They can give them five more shots in a game, which will be crucial for Tottenham.
"In the Uruguayan national team, Edinson and I were behind Forlan. Our head coach believes he is the most reliable of the three. I played at Ajax as a central striker, so I can do that as well, but with a lot of autonomy in the shots. However, I still have to make it clear that with this tactical arrangement, my shooting skills can't guarantee that every shot will be scored, so please don't blame me for that. ”
Of course, although both of them are masters of finding opportunities, it is also possible that neither of them can grasp the opportunity after getting the opportunity.
Their archery skills are not considered to be strong points. The operations in the restricted area are also relatively ordinary. Although Cavani is able to habitually retreat to the center circle, making the midfielders ashamed of their range of movement, and has the skill to shoot without adjustment, he is not a top scorer who is good at taking every opportunity, and his skills are slightly rough compared to other top South American players. Although Suarez is creative and has good marksmanship, he is also a bit of a wave, and he wants to shoot a lot of opportunities, these are their problems, and the combination of these two people is estimated to be a lot of wasted opportunities.
However, Li Bin had already thought of this. If Li Bin pursues to fully grasp the opportunity, he can try to buy Falcao in South America, and in terms of archery alone, he is better than both. However, Li Bin still chose Suarez, one because he was worried that Tottenham would be bored and there would be no chance to shoot in a game - this is very common in the Premier League, that is, the top four of the Premier League, there are often situations where people are bored - it is better to be able to create more chances than to wait for opportunities. The two are also his belief that this forward combination can also improve their shooting skills in the future, and they can play better game conditions.
"Of course I know that. In fact, your shooting skills can be further improved: when you shoot, you don't have the habit of looking up at the goalkeeper, you always find your own angle, it's not a good way, you have to think about playing smarter, looking up at the goalkeeper more, it doesn't hurt you. ”
Li Bin believes that he can improve more because Li Bin believes that his team will have a better improvement in their skills: if they are not proficient in archery, they can practice, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will always improve quickly.
Li Bin's words made Suarez start to think, and Li Bin knew that maybe this was enough for him to improve: a smart player knows how to search for himself and improve himself. Suarez happens to be that kind of person.
Li Bin believes that he can become very strong: in the days of the Eredivisie, Suarez's shots were basically all bursts, all of them were quite strong shots, but in memory, Li Bin remembers that when he arrived at Liverpool, many of his shots were clever shots from angles, and he paid more attention to playing the far corner. Moreover, when he plays in Liverpool, many times he doesn't shoot at good chances, and shoots randomly at bad chances - this is related to Liverpool's outrageous midfielder with low creativity, because he has fewer opportunities, he doesn't dare to shoot well, and the result is that his decisiveness decreases, his shooting mentality is problematic, and his footwork is getting more and more stinky.
And now, Li Bin's words made him start to retrieve his own shooting method. Li Bin didn't urge him, he knew that this kind of self-retrieval was very helpful to improve. He didn't want Suarez, whose footwork was getting stinky and stinky.
In addition to these, Li Bin also had other questions, and when he remembered it, he had to tell him, "There is another sentence, I want to discuss it with you......"
"Don't play too alone?" Suarez immediately asked rhetorically.
"It's not this, I know that you don't play alone," Li Bin shook his head, he knew that as Ajax's goalscorer and assist king last season, Suarez was accused of being very lonely, but that was not the point he wanted to say, because he also watched Uruguay's game, he knew how selfless Suarez was in the national team, and even knew how he fed Fran's golden boot in the 2010 World Cup, his sense of responsibility is strong, and sometimes he doesn't trust his teammates, but as long as his teammates are strong enough, he can still cooperate.
"What I want to say is not that you play football alone, but that you have too many fake falls on the pitch. I'm not a moralist and sometimes, I'm not against players faking falls, swearing the streets, using small tricks. However, you have to know that this is not good for you and good for the team. Tottenham is not Ajax, Tottenham are far from being able to cover the sky in the Premier League, and here you don't want to fake a fall. And if you fake a lot of falls, the guys in the Premier League Ethics Committee won't spare you. I know, you're a Uruguayan player, you haven't even been to Argentina, you went straight to Europe, and you have a lot of habits of playing in South America, but change it for me as soon as possible, you have to learn what discipline is - a good player, consistency is a must, no consistent appearance, even one goal per game, nothing like Vieri. You have to understand that, remember? ”
Last season, Suarez scored six penalties for Ajax alone, but behind this proud record, he also received seven yellow cards for fake falls, and he was named Ajax's foul king by faking the cards. That's a lot of headaches in anyone's eyes – Tottenham captain Ledley King has only seven yellow cards in his 13-year career and is a defender. Suarez alone has completed the amount of a lifetime by faking a fall in one season, which is really tough.
This has something to do with the fact that he is from South America: South American football is relatively rough, except for Brazil and Argentina, the football of other countries is quite fierce. Messi plays very well every time he plays in Barcelona, and when he arrives in South America, he plays very badly because of the scale of punishment there, and the problem of Suarez scolding Evra in his memory, as well as the problem of biting, are also related to the football environment in which he was born. In that South American environment, it's hard for him to play cleanly and spotlessly.
Li Bin's accusation was right, but he could see that Suarez had some reluctance on his face. Suarez seems that his fake falls and fouls are all for the good of the team, and the coach blames himself like this, which is really a bit of a hypocrisy.
This made Li Bin smile bitterly: How could he forget that Suarez has good skills and a smart mind, but he is also known for his stubborn temper, and he doesn't suffer more than two losses, how can he change his personality?
Fortunately, I still have time.
"Go ahead, get ready, come with us to Germany in a few days for the last friendly game. After this one, we're really going to start the league fight. At that time, how much strength you have, give me all of it! ”
