Section 395 Character Player

"Head, faking a fall on the football field is a means to protect yourself."

"No, falling on the football pitch is a means of protecting yourself – falling in time when you are violated by an opponent is a compulsory course for every player, and it is true, but don't confuse a fall to protect yourself with a fake fall. There is a big difference between falling for self-protection, and faking a fall is always to cheat a goal or cheat the opponent's punishment. The former focuses on avoiding harm, while the latter focuses on scamming – there's a big difference between the two. ”

Li Bin's words made Suarez look a little uncomfortable: no matter who he is, he doesn't like to be accused of being a liar.

Falling and fake falling, although it is only a word difference, but there is indeed a big difference. Some people, after faking a fall, always emphasize the self-protection effect of the fall, but always ignore whether their purpose is to protect themselves or for other purposes. Faking a fall is a repellent action at any time and in any situation, because on the football field, what he represents is cheating.

"Well, I can talk about it, but first I want to say this: I don't think falling is an unoptional option, so if you want to blame me morally, forget it, since I was very young, when I started learning how to play, my coach told me that as a striker, the most important thing is to score goals, and nothing else matters. It's okay to score, to pass, to shoot, or to do something that's not quite right – that's what I learned, and I think it's the right thing to do. ”

Li Bin looked at Suarez and smiled.

Many Latin players don't see fake falls as a particularly wrong thing: in their opinion, if they can cheat well, it is also a success. Even the best of the Latin players think the same thing, Maradona scored with the hand of God, he himself did not consider it a shame, and the Argentine players after him were all proud to imitate the hand of God. And in the same way, the Spaniards, the Italians, these players are the same, in their opinion, they can fall, they can cheat penalties, they can also score goals, as long as they can score, even if it is a violation of morality or something?

Li Bin has always felt that if we talk about it, the concept of English football and the concept of Latin football have some bad factors that are deeply rooted in the depths of the mind: the English have a very high tolerance for violence and rudeness, while the Latins have a very high tolerance for fake falls and deception: this makes Li Bin always think that the hegemony of the British back then was essentially established by robbery, so they didn't care about being rude, and the Latins even if they were colonized, they were even coaxed and deceived, and deception was something they didn't care about- But these things are said a lot, it seems to be racism, and Li Bin doesn't think much about him anymore.

He is also concerned about football: Suarez's tolerance for fake falls is too high, which is something Li Bin should be concerned about.

'I don't want to blame you, I don't think it's right, but I don't blame you – as I said, you're still thinking about scoring goals at the end of the day, and that's very satisfying. In your temperament, I am very satisfied with the side of not admitting defeat, compared to those teams and people who have their own lofty status, we are weak, we need a spirit of not admitting defeat, I am very satisfied with your rebellious spirit, and I also believe that the spirit of rebellion, and the refusal to conform to the rules are complementary things, I can't ask you to fight hard against the strong team on the one hand, and ask you to follow the rules like a good baby, unless you are schizophrenic. What's more, I know the current situation of South American football, I know how people play in South America, from the time I brought you here, I know your habits and your problems, I asked myself at the time, I think I can tolerate it, I can change you, that's why I invited you to join my team. Li Bin stretched out his hand to signal Suarez to calm down, he knew that the word change he said was something Suarez was very unwilling to accept, but he had to say so.

"You said you don't want to accept moral blame, then, I don't need to talk about morality, since it's all goals, let's calculate the cost and gain of scoring goals and conceding goals. Although they can also bring goals, however, if the shot fails, at most it is a counterattack by the opponent, and if the fake fall fails, it is possible to lose a yellow card - this kicking method is the most disproportional to the input and output of a way to score goals, once it fails, you have to pay the price, even if it is successful, the penalty may be saved, and the most important thing: whether you succeed or not depends on the referee, not your own - you like to put your own fate, the fate of the whole team, Is it up to the referee to decide? ”

This time, Suarez was silent.

As Li Bin said, Suarez is a person who refuses to follow the rules and has the courage to break the rules. This gave him a lot of things, on the one hand, he dared to fight against any strong enemy, he was not afraid of his opponent, even if he knew that the opponent was stronger, he dared to fight. On the other hand, it also made him disrespect the rules, fake falls, curse people, and even bite and handball in his memory, because he believes that in order to win, the rules can be broken appropriately. The two complement each other, and it is precisely because the two are screwed together that Suarez is now formed, and if one of them is really missing, he is not him.

Li Bin hopes that he will keep his character, this rebellious spirit is very rare, in the current era of capital, more and more people do not have this spirit, in the NBA, big-name players can be understood as brother basketball, in the football world, the giants continue to poach people and are also named the name of the Galaxy Battleship, really have the courage, have the confidence to work hard from scratch, there are not many people who do a career, Li Bin is not easy to see one, or very happy.

However, he also hopes that this kind of unruly behavior can be changed a little. In football, stability is something that overshadows everything, even if a player is at a high level, if he does not have a long-term stable performance and cannot maintain a certain attendance rate, then he will not be able to help the team win - Vieri's example is proof - and if he does not follow the rules, he may face a long-term ban, like Suarez and Balotelli in memory, playing seven or eight games less in a season, even if he is the world's top player, it is a waste without fart.

There is a contradiction between the two, but Li Bin is not out of the question: he wants Suarez to keep his character, but when he plays, he learns to be smarter.

And he is also aimed at Suarez's character: the rebellious spirit comes from a strong self-confidence, and no confident person is willing to leave his fate to others.

"But sometimes, with the usual way of playing, we can't score goals."

'If you don't get a goal in the regular way of playing, what you should think about is improving yourself and getting goals in the regular way of playing – of course, I'm talking to most people, but I have another word for you. It's not necessarily a bad thing that you don't respect the rules, but the key is whether you should look for loopholes in the rules or fight against the rules. If it's the former, you're smart, if it's the latter, you're just an idiot. Don't be a fool, but be a smart person. What you should learn is how to make good use of the rules on the pitch and make them work for you, rather than force yourself against him – even Van Basten forced football to change the rules and take advantage of his career, do you want to do that? Don't do that, think about how to be smarter. Fake falls, it's a solution, but if you kick the ball into someone's hand like Rooney did, can't you do it? Or induce an opponent to foul, can't you do that too? Why do you have to put yourself in a disadvantageous situation? You can do better, you don't have to play your own cards. ”

Suarez didn't say anything for a long time, he thought about Li Bin's words, and he didn't speak.

"This time you got a red card, so it's time to take a break. The next time you play, think about what I'm talking to you and think about how you're going to play. You're a player with brains, you're very smart, but you're not using your brains on the right path right now. Change your mind, try to think differently, and you can play better. ”

"In the past, my coaches didn't say that. They either told me that it didn't matter if they faked falls, or they told me that they weren't allowed to fake falls. This is the first time I've heard that kind of thing. To tell you the truth, you told me that the first thing you noticed was when I got the last moment instead of my red card, and I was already happy, and now I have to thank you for thinking about it for me. I didn't realize that I really didn't respect the rules. I just want to win. ”

'It's not a bad thing, we always say that football needs character players, what do you mean by character players? Character players do not refer to those players who are particularly nonsense and misbehaving, such players are called those who have no tactical execution, not character. Character players are those players who have the courage not to stick to the rules, have their own understanding, their own ideas when playing, and dare to break the current habit of playing football and play according to their own ideas. The football played by such players is more likely to make the football more diverse, to look good, and even some of their choices are enough to push the football forward. You have this potential, you can play football like this. ”

"There are a lot of people with character in the world, Cruyff has character, he drives the whole attack, Beckenbauer has the character, he drives the scavenger football. Maradona has character, he has a reputation as the king of football, and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo also has character, and he is now the best player in the world. But none of these character players proved themselves by faking falls and fouls, their character, showing themselves on the field, playing their football, impressing those who watched the game, this is their way of proving themselves. And those who do nonsense off the field and play football on the field and win by careful thinking, few of them are long-lasting. The character of not admitting defeat has two sides, one is the ladder to victory, and the other is the whirlpool that makes people fall into hell - you have talent, but how to make good use of your talent, that's your problem. ”

When Li Bin mentioned the first few names, Suarez was still not particularly excited, but when he mentioned Ronaldo's name, Suarez had an obvious unconvinced look on his face.

Ronaldo in 08 is not enough to convince Suarez......

"You know, last season, Arshavin played very well under me, and in the summer, he was close to the Ballon d'Or. However, after arriving at Real Madrid, now he is a little lost, and Ronaldo's call for the Ballon d'Or is getting louder and louder. I can't change that, and I have to say I'm sorry: I don't want to be a coach for the rest of my life and not have a single Ballon d'Or winner – so do me a favor and help me fulfill my wish, okay? ”
