When I saw Li Bin announcing that he would accept CCTV's invitation to the 2010 World Cup, when he was going to be a commentator for CCTV for free, the Chinese fans who got the news were immediately sensational.

"This should be regarded as the most valuable commentary in the football world, right? If you pay, you're afraid you won't be able to pay it, right? Also, it's rare for a soccer coach to comment on a game, right? ”

There have never been any great coaches or stars in Chinese football, so retired stars or idle coaches are rarely seen by fans and don't know much about them. In fact, many football coaches will have spare time to do commentary work, and the salary is not too high, that is, tens of thousands of euros a month. Even, not to mention that the football coach may have time to explain football games, football coaches may have time, and some have to do other commentaries, such as Capello, who was once invited to explain ice hockey at the 06 Winter Olympics.

But those who are foreigners no matter how they say it, and Li Bin is Chinese, and he is willing to work as a commentator in China, which is quite surprising to the fans.

After all, Li Bin is a coach who has just won the Champions League. And with two Champions Leagues in hand, it can be regarded as a record among active coaches. A coach of this calibre who is a commentator during the World Cup will naturally attract a lot of people to watch the game - and they will also want to know what football will become under the commentary of such a coach.

"Will Li Bin have been able to predict the outcome of the match at the beginning of the match? Or just look at the game and know who wins and who loses? ”

Many fans are also discussing fiercely, but this kind of statement that Li Bin can know the winner by watching the game is still scoffed by many people.

"Li Bin is also a coach, not a god, football games are only good because of frequent accidents, how can he expect them all? Moreover, Li Bin is a little higher, as a coach, his views may be different from those of ordinary fans, but more he can't do it. ”

The fans are all arguing about this issue, but they really don't know what step Li Bin can take. In the eyes of some fans, the coach's job is not difficult, anyway, it is just a stop on the sidelines, and it may not be better than them, at least domestic coaches, don't they all know nothing? The commentators in China are also professional football professionals, and no one has exclaimed, 'I found that the total number of goals scored and the total number of goals conceded in Serie A is the same'?

In the eyes of some fans, it is not easy to lead the team to win the championship, such a coach must be the top coach, and his judgment of the game is also difficult for fans to compare. If you don't even know how to judge the situation, how can you command the game well?

If it was before the Champions League final this time, Li Bin's sideline command ability would still be questioned by many people. He was born in Serie A, and sometimes he is on the same path as Ancelotti, but he is relatively inflexible. However, in this Champions League final, his on-the-spot adaptability completely surpassed Pellegrini, and many people thought that he was not bad at all in on-the-spot command.

And no matter how much the argument is, at least one thing is certain - the game that Li Bin explained should be very interesting, at least many times more interesting than other commentators.

And, anyway, Li Bin was able to serve as a guest commentator, which is already remarkable. How many countries in the world have been able to find a top coach to be a guest commentator during the World Cup? At least in all of Asia, it's unique!

In a controversy, after Li Bin served as the commentator, the first game of the commentary also began.

It's just that, unlike the previous arrangement, this game is not even a World Cup match, but a friendly match. It's just that one of the protagonists of the two sides of the friendly match is the Chinese national team, so Li Bin will be arranged to explain this game.

However, this arrangement has also made fans more interested.

Li Bin has not usually had much contact with the national team, and many times when he is interviewed, he also avoids talking about the national team. How would he evaluate the national team, how would he describe the national team? That's what a lot of people want to see. He can't avoid talking about the national team this time, right?

"Li Bin is usually quite slippery, and he refuses to offend the Chinese Football Association. This time, in the friendly match between the Chinese team and the French team, I want to see what else he can do to continue to avoid this topic. With the Chinese team's sparse performance, he can't be rounded, right? ”

Fans are very dissatisfied with Li Bin's unrelenting stance on Chinese football. Extreme fans think that Li Bin should come back early to serve as the coach of the national team, and a little better thinks that even if Li Bin does not come back, he should express some dissatisfaction with the Chinese Football Association from time to time, so that the shady scenes of Chinese football can be exposed, and Chinese football can develop better. It's just that over the years, Li Bin has never done this, which also makes people feel that he is a little too tactful, but now that Li Bin has come to explain the game of the Chinese team, this also makes fans seize the opportunity to see what he says.

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, in the TV station, Li Bin also sat down with two other commentators. The game hasn't started yet, so it stands to reason that there should be some game-related things, but now, what the commentator is more concerned about is Li Bin's problem.

The first question Li Bin was asked was why he came to be a guest commentator.

"I always felt like I had to do something for the fans." As for why he accepted this invitation, Li Bin's attitude was also very direct, "The fans have always supported me, I am always floating abroad, and I don't have time to give back to them, so commenting on one or two games can be regarded as feedback." ”

"If you really want to give back, you might as well pull Tottenham to China to play a friendly match, then you will definitely give back more than when you are a commentator."

Along with Li Bin, it was CCTV's He Wei and Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan immediately replied after hearing Li Bin's words, but Li Bin just smiled at this, "Forget it this year, the World Cup year, the players are very tired, and they are easy to get injured if they go back and forth." ”

"But Barcelona has signed contracts with South Korea and China for commercial matches......"

"Isn't Pep Guardiola against it? As a coach, who wants players to work harder? If you don't believe it, ask him what he thinks. Li Bin asked rhetorically, "Moreover, we are different from Barcelona, they play until the end of April and are almost fine, we play until the end of May, the consumption is different." ”

Li Bin's words made Duan Xuan speechless, Li Bin's words were somewhat malicious to Barcelona, but his identity was there, it didn't matter if he said so, but Duan Xuan didn't want to talk about it and cause the resentment of Barcelona fans.

"However, the feedback is just a commentary on the game, and it is too little."

"Unfortunately, there are no other activities suitable for me. At this age, it's too boring to participate in the selection of football babies, right? ”

When a few people started to speak, the other two commentators were still a little nervous about commenting on the game with Li Bin. However, after saying a few words, Li Bin took the initiative to take the lead in laughing, which also made the atmosphere harmonious.

"Also, overworked games, continuous torment, will indeed cause unimaginable heavy pressure and psychological burden to the players." He Wei took over the conversation, and he had no intention of letting Li Bin talk about Tottenham Hotspur in depth, "Mr. Li, the French players are all tired now, the players of our national team, the physical advantage is still quite large, what do you think of this game?" The instructions made by the Football Association before the game are to win less when you lose, how many do you think the Chinese team will have? ”

The French players, there are indeed a lot of things, but unfortunately, there are many things, and it has little to do with fatigue: the trouble caused by Ribery and Benzema's own nonsense has not yet been settled, and the French team broke out again before the game, and they were even forced to draw by Tunisia a few days ago, so people also feel that the French team met the Chinese team and came to find confidence.

And this question is also the first problem they threw at Li Bin: how many did the Chinese team lose? Say less, the Chinese team will lose a big score in a few minutes to show you. said too much, how could the Football Association come down? He Wei They also want to know if Li Bin is really afraid of the Football Association, and when he speaks, will he really avoid offending the Football Association?

However, Li Bin immediately answered this question, "1-0." China wins. ”

The two partners all changed their faces, Duan Xuan was surprised for a moment before he asked, "This is what you are expecting, right?" You're expecting the Chinese team to win, right? ”

"No, I think the Chinese team will win this game. It's not expectation, if it's expectation, I'm expecting China to win a big victory, and I won't expect a 1-0. ”

But even 1-0 isn't so believable! Duan Xuan complained in his heart. You are also a world-class coach, and we are still using you as a gimmick here, how can you talk about it, so unreliable! China 1-0 France? This is already a blatant slap on the back of the Football Association! Can't you be a little more subtle when you pat yourself on the back?

"Mr. Li, do you know how long it has been since the Chinese team has won against a world-class team?" Duan Xuan asked rhetorically.

"You know, the last time we beat a strong team was in 1984 against Argentina, it's been 26 years." Li Bin nodded, "It's been 26 years, and it's time for us to win once." ”

But this is completely illogical!

Duan Xuan was still complaining in his heart, but looking at Li Bin's calm face, he was also in his heart, and suddenly had a new idea.

Li Bin's identity will never think about nonsense, never, really let him say it accurately, right? Could the Chinese team really be able to win the game? But, no matter how you look at it, it's incredible, isn't it? Li Bin is a coach, not a wizard, can he really influence the game played in Europe?

But if not, where did his faith come from? Could it be that the interpretation of the two sides can really be so that before the game starts, it has already determined who wins and who loses?

But this is Chinese football! It's different from your average football! What level of coach can make such a bold prediction?

However, Li Bin is full of confidence: what he wants is this effect.
