Li Bin has been in Italy for ten years, and naturally he also knows that there are many domestic reporters in Italy. However, those reporters, at most, pay attention to the records of each team, recruitment, and maybe a little scandal or something, most of them are in Milan, after all, there is more news about the top three in the north, Li Bin has also seen them, and even helped them get some inside information, but interviewing Li Bin is still very rare after all.

This also prompted him to be a little curious and ready to meet the reporter.

"Coach Li Bin? Hello, I'm Li Siman from Sports Weekly. ”

When there was a knock on the door, the people who came in made Li Bin a little stunned.

This is not the image of a journalist he imagined - he has met a lot of reporters and often interacted with reporters, but this reporter is very different from the one he knows.

It was a girl who looked to be about twenty years old, wearing a bohemian yellow dress with suspenders, and a round hat on her head. Such a girl, no matter how you look at it, does not look like a journalist.

What is wrong with such a beautiful girl, why should she be a sports reporter?

However, her serious attitude made Li Bin immediately realize that she was a reporter. She had a rather gentle and reserved smile on her face, it was a professional smile, and Li Bin certainly wouldn't have seen it.

"You may be seated." Li Bin made a gesture to sit her down.

"You look weird when you see me." When the girl opened the notebook, the first thing she said was an irrelevant question.

"Of course, football reporters, in my opinion, should be old fans who are above 30 years old and have a lot of life experience. To tell you the truth, I've even got a beer and some videotapes ready to chat with Mr. Reporter and watch the game, but I'd love to ask, is it illegal for me to give you beer? ”

"Thank you, but I don't look like I'm even 16 years old, right?" Li Siman had a little smugness in her smile, that girl didn't want others to say that she was young? "However, the alcohol is free, I will not drink. Let's talk about football. ”

"Okay. Although I have no problem talking about some things...... But what to talk about, let the girl have the final say. ”

Li Siman looked at him with interest, and then made a grimace, "Uncle, I'm not interested in thirty-year-old men, I don't mind if you introduce the handsome guys of the team to talk to me in a while...... But forget it. Let's just talk about you. You are the first Chinese to have an important position in Serie A...... First of all, I deeply admire it, and then, can you tell us about your struggle? ”

"Aren't you a reporter for Sports Weekly? But I listen, you're like writing a manuscript for an abstract book. ”

"It's my business, just answer my questions." Li Siman interrupted him, "I heard that you started from the bottom, you should be very tired, right?" Moreover, there is not enough money to spend, I remember many people have said that the salary of the low-level coaches in Italy is very low, and they all have to work part-time. ”

The girl's question and attitude made Li Bin a little dumbfounded. The girl was a little domineering, which also made Li Bin a little dissatisfied.

"No, actually, speaking of which, I should be regarded as the kind of rich second generation, my parents are still quite rich, living expenses or something, no pressure......" Li Bin thought for a while before speaking.

These words made the girl's face freeze a little, "If that's the case, why do you have to start from the bottom?" If you're really that rich, buy a team. ”

"I don't know anything, I don't know anything about football, what are you buying a team for? What I like is football, not burning money. Training, competitions, tactics, skills, I don't know anything, even if I buy a team, even if I win the season, it's not my credit, where do I get a sense of achievement? Just because I spent money? I'm not Moratti, I love football, but I'm not going to waste my family's money for it. ”

The girl's face was even more unsightly, but she wrote it anyway.

"If that's the case," Li Siman continued to open the notebook, "then let's talk about it, if you are very rich, why don't you study economics or business management or anything, but come here to study sports?" ”

"Actually, I have a master's degree in economics and social sciences from Bocconi University in Milan, and I just don't like business, just because I don't know it." Li Bin's words made Li Siman want to kill people even more, but fortunately, Li Bin continued, "I once thought that I wanted to make money, make a lot of money, and make everyone less rich than me." However, I suddenly understood: money is such a thing, you don't bring it with you when you live, you don't bring it with you when you die, you can just spend it if you have enough money. What I need is not to make money, but to enjoy life and pursue the life I love. Obviously, of the things I like, football is my best choice. ”

Li Siman originally stopped writing when he said the first half of the sentence, but in the second half of the sentence, Li Siman blinked and continued to write.

"There's one thing I don't understand." Li Siman continued to speak, "I really want to know Lu Dao, why would you choose Italy?" Why don't you go to England? As far as I know, England fans, the support and trust of the team, are more fanatical, right? ”

"Yes, they are fanatical, but at the same time fanatical they are extremely blind, and there is a lack of rationality in that part of England. They don't think enough about football, they just support it blindly, they support it desperately – that's why their football atmosphere is so good, but it's also one of the reasons why English football lags behind Latin football. If I'm 50 years old and want to enjoy the thrill of being famous, and I'm more happy to hear the crowd cheering and flattering, I'll go to England, where I can do a lot less, and if I maintain a half-dead result, there will be a blind crowd of fans who will support me and love me – for example, David Moyes's virtue at Everton. But I'm just 30 years old, and what I want is progress, to supplement my knowledge and ability, and to keep improving. So I chose Italy, which naturally has a more tactical atmosphere. Since 1930, England's tactical philosophy has lagged behind Latin football, and my ambition is not to help the poor with skills, so why should I go to England? People's pursuits are different, and the places of natural selection are also different. I can get more exercise here, so I'm going to stay here. ”

"This is the first time I've heard of this statement, don't people want to be recognized?"

"I want people to agree on my abilities, not who I am." Li Bin paused, "As a fan, you can prefer to be fanatical and support the team for no reason, but as a coach, we must think rationally and consider problems rationally." The support of the fans is important, but it is even more important to recognize yourself. ”

Li Siman had already stopped his pen and just spoke slowly, "So, you stayed in Italy to improve your ability?" Did you learn? ”

"Yes, there is a lot to learn in Italy. Parma is a place where there are many coaches, and during my time at Parma, I had contact with Zeman, Carlo Ancelotti, Prandelli, and Mr. Sacchi was also our technical advisor, and I also studied with him, and I didn't think I could learn these opportunities in the Premier League. Nothing is born to know, and we have to learn to understand things. When I first came to Italy, I didn't understand anything, at that time, I only knew the names of a few stars and thought that football was a game of stacking stars, but with different people, I learned a lot of things, and now, Chairman Tanzi has made me the director of youth training and the director of scouting, ten years, how much do you say I have learned? ”

"How long did it take to do all this?"

"From being a scout to now? Decade. ”

"Isn't that easy?" Li Siman asked rhetorically, "They all say that your youth training base is the best in Italy, and it's not so easy to do, right?" ”

"It's not a big deal, be willing to spend money, be willing to support, and then work hard, don't make mistakes, that's all."

"I said Coach Li, can you cooperate with the interview?" Li Siman was choked by this sentence very uncomfortable, and closed the book with some annoyance, "You talk like this, my manuscript is difficult to write, there are no part-time jobs and these tear-jerking things, you at least talk about your great achievements now, you swallow water so tepidly, how do you let me write sports inspirational stories." ”

"You have to tell the truth, I'm an honest person." Li Bin laughed.

Li Siman looked at the person in front of him, squinting his eyes, and didn't know what to say.

This journalist is not bad. Li Bin smiled, the reason why he spoke like this was just to knock her up, and then give her some news to break the news, so that she wouldn't be too nonsense in the future. But looking at the way she looks, it seems that she has not learned how to make news behind closed doors - the essence is not bad.

And Li Siman was also looking at Li Bin at this time.

This person was not what she had imagined.

Not long after Li Siman arrived in Italy as a reporter, because she didn't have too many resources, someone else introduced Li Bin and asked her to dig up news from Li Bin, and after she heard about Li Bin, she wanted to write about a relatively unpopular topic. What she originally wanted to write was an inspirational story, about a person who worked hard, but now, she realized that that such a story seemed to be difficult to write.

Poor boy works part-time to pursue his dreams - this is an inspirational article. But the rich second generation enjoys life and plays an alternative attitude to life - what is there to write about!

Li Bin is a football coach, and she thinks that he should be the kind of person who is desperate for his ideals, or who is extremely obsessed with skills and tactics and does not know anything else. But after meeting, she found that Li Bin in front of her was a rather unexpected person.

He doesn't like to talk about his suffering, he doesn't like to show off his achievements, those things, as if everything is taken for granted, whether it is suffering or achievement, it seems that for him, it is nothing to say. He overturned all the things he wanted, so how could he write a manuscript?

Obviously, his vision is very large, and a little difficult life, or the seemingly brilliant achievements now, are not enough for him.

"Coach Li Bin, I would like to ask, do you have the idea of becoming a head coach in Italy?" Li Siman thought of something.

A person can not care about those hardships because of his resolute character, but if he doesn't care about his achievements, it means that his mind must be bigger - people always have a plan, which made Li Siman soon interested.

"Yes, I do."

"In that case, I have a problem." Li Siman thought of something, "I have to make a title - you say, who do you think you are more like?" I'll just say you're the Chinese version of XXX. Which coach is famous now? Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Lippi, Capello, you pick one. ”

This sentence made Li Bin stunned for a while, and then he shook his head, "No, I'm not like anyone, I'm just myself." ”

"What is this called? Of course, I know that you are yourself, but what I am saying is, who do you want to be like? ”

"Everyone has their own tactical understanding, everyone has their own coaching philosophy, and everyone has their own different employment guidelines and work requirements. There are no two identical leaves in the world, how can there be two identical coaches? I am who I am, and I am only myself. There is no need to blindly compare myself with others, and I can succeed if I am myself. ”

Li Siman looked at Li Bin, and suddenly, she felt that she had underestimated his confidence.

Be yourself – this kind of ambition is more important than anything else.
