vs 453 Magicians

"Hurry up and run! Yes, that's right, you're fast, you're passing...... Good, good, just kick, Fabio, well done, very well done! ”

After a running session, Coentrão smiled shyly at the coach who was giving him a thumbs up on the sidelines, and turned to look at Bale and Gustavo walking back in front of him, who were standing there waiting for them to approach, wanting to talk to them about the pass.

"Well done, man! Don't be so shy, you play well, be bold, you can play better! Gustavo snapped his fingers at Coentrão and winked, "Kick well, you'll play well." ”

Coentrão smiled and said this to his teammates, he did not see that outside the pitch, there was a slender Spaniard watching him.

Raul had heard of him, and he knew who this man named Coentrand was. However, this is not because he is strong, but because Raul read his story when he read the newspaper and learned about Li Bin's personality.

"It is reported that Li Bin spent 12 million to buy Coentrão, and we are curious how coach Li Bin took a fancy to this player: this player was loaned to Spain last season, but even if he searched all the La Liga records, he could not find a minute of playing record - because he was loaned to Real Zaragoza, a La Liga team. However, don't hope to find his record in La Liga, because he didn't play a single minute in La Liga, and he played in Spain for just eight minutes in total, in the Copa del Rey match against Getafe in Zaragoza. This surprised us very much: Coach Li Bin, how did he see his potential? Coach Li Bin has always had a good eye for people, but this time, how does he see people? We just can't read the deal. Moreover, Coentrão used to play left winger, and only recently started playing left-back, but Coach Li Bin decided in an interview that he will be the best left-back in the future - to transform a left-back Bale into a left midfielder, and then want to transform a left winger Coentrão into a left-back, Li Bin's idea is really crazy. He's a high-level coach, but he's not a magician, we don't need one person to keep doing magic, what Tottenham need now is to play consistently, to fight for the Premier League in the Champions League, not to mess around! ”

Raul remembers that the media was very dissatisfied with Li Bin's spending 12 million to buy a defender, and in their opinion, since Li Bin was able to buy Kolarov at a low price, then he should consider buying a replacement for Kolarov at a low price again. 12 million to buy a young man, this price is too high - you know, just a few years ago, when Liverpool bought Alves, it collapsed because Alves's transfer fee was as high as 10 million pounds.

Especially this young man, who basically doesn't have any playing time. After Li Bin became famous, the media was also staring at Li Bin's trading partner, but how did Li Bin see that he had potential for a person who only played 8 minutes in half a season? It's not scientific at all!

Li Bin's vision is indeed very good, he has bought young players, and he has hardly lost much money, but this time, spending such a large price to buy Coentrão still makes the media a little unoptimistic.

But now, in Raul's opinion, this player's worth may not be worth 12 million, but his value will definitely not be low. His only question is, such a player, can't get a ball in Zaragoza? How is this possible?

And with a similar idea to him, it is Coentrão on the pitch. The only thing he thinks now is: Is this the level at which I play? How can it be?

A year ago, his agent suddenly contacted him and said that Li Bin wanted to bring him in to Tottenham. At the time, Coentrão thought it was just a boring joke: he knew his own quality, and he could go to Tottenham with the strength to play in Lisbon. When I got there, I was afraid that I would sit on the bench and not even get a chance. Don't these coaches like to buy some young people and say that they want to focus on the future? You don't have to worry about that kind of thing, you have a better chance of staying in Lisbon.

Therefore, he rejected Li Bin's invitation at that time and chose to stay in Lisbon. However, he later realized that his own views were not necessarily correct. The club didn't need him, and first wanted to loan him to the Eredivisie, but after only a few days of playing there, Feyenoord was judged to be inadequate, and he was relegated to Portugal without even playing an official game. And he was loaned to the Portuguese Super League, where he was given the opportunity to play, but after half a season, he was withdrawn. Then came the trip to Spain – he played eight minutes in half a year, and he himself was embarrassed to say that he had played for Zaragoza.

It's already tragic for a player to be loaned out three times in a season? Such a player is simply the embodiment of tragedy.

In these days of repeated loan spells, when he was bored, he also thought about what would happen if he went to Tottenham? Li Bin's level should be higher than others, although he is Asian, but he is a Champions League level coach. He may use himself very well - Li Bin's coaching level is not low, the Bale who he taught and the same year as himself has already played at the level, and Kolarov, who is the main force under him, is not better than himself in terms of level and fame, if he goes to his hands, will he already be a Premier League player? Such an idea appeared more than once in Coentrão's mind.

He knew that these thoughts could only be described as fantasy, but he couldn't help but think so. Sometimes, some opportunities are missed to feel pity, and Coentrão can't help but sigh when he thinks of the good opportunity he missed.

Thankfully, he got another chance: City poached Kolarov this summer, which led to another invitation from Li Bin.

It's a pity to miss one chance, and to miss two chances is to be an idiot. Coentrão took over the request and came to Tottenham, and as soon as he arrived, he was promised by Li Bin: as long as he plays well, he will be the main force.

Last season, I didn't even count as a substitute in La Liga, but this season, I can even play in the Premier League and even the Champions League! This kind of news made Coentrão think that he was dreaming, but he also decided that he would never miss another dream no matter what.

And he had to admit that he was living in a dream now.

"When you attack, some of the insertions are too violent, a little pay attention to the timing of the midfield, in addition, pay attention to the ball on your side, and the midfielder to cooperate with the defensive pressure, on the other side, you have to go to the midfield to make up, according to the opponent's position, your running position is different, go up at any time to supplement, rotate at any time, don't stop, do you know the way? Next season, your insertion this time will be an important means of our attack, and our attack will be much better than last season, and it all falls on you, do you know the way? ”

The coach's voice whispered in his ear, and he nodded hard again and ran backwards.

When I arrived at Tottenham, the way of playing here seemed to be completely different from that of Spain, and I was not at all as helpless as I was when I played in Zaragoza. I play here, I have Bale when I defend, Gustavo when I attack, and at any time, I don't face the opponent alone, which makes the way I play a lot different from before. Now he has enough distance to get forward and can form a combination, and when he retreats, he defends well enough to be able to hold the opponent's attack, and he doesn't know the reason for this change in level, but he is very happy.

High-level coaching is just different.

"This young man seems good, it seems, much better than the media says, can you tell me, is there any secret?"

On the sidelines of the pitch, Raul had already walked over. Li Bin turned around, shook hands with him, and opened his mouth, "Of course it's good, he is a good player, and players have different levels of use in different ways." In Zaragoza, the midfield didn't cover enough to fill in for him, and he didn't have the opportunity to cut forward freely. And if the winger in front of him doesn't defend, he needs to face the pressure of two people by one person, so defense becomes a problem. But these problems can be changed through tactics. If the tactics are used properly, a player's level can be very high, and if they are not used properly, the player's level will be limited - this is like a fish, given to a Chinese chef, I can make it in various ways, but given to a British chef, it can only be fried with fries...... Not everyone likes to eat like this. ”

Raul laughed, and he had long admired the food of England. And what made him even happier was that Li Bin seemed to be very easy to get along with.

Li Bin said the truth, Raul is very clear, a player, different tactics, play is very different, some players in the national team and in the club are completely two people, is the relationship of tactical arrangements - the most famous example, of course, is Messi, in Barcelona he can be called the first in the world, but back in Argentina, the play is a mess. In Li Bin's memory, Coentrão's performance in the Portuguese team was much better than that in Real Madrid, but it was actually because of tactical reasons. Coentrão is not a particularly clever player, he is cunning, he knows how to work hard, how to find opportunities, he is suitable for being assigned a task and then playing on the pitch.

Not every player has a level of tactics that are useless, how to play well, how to bring out the level of the players, this is the ability.

"It's not just him, even Reus is playing well." Raul looked at the court and exclaimed, "The media said you weren't a magician, they were very wrong. ”

The introduction of Royce is a player who has made the media even more unhappy. Tottenham Hotspur finished in the top three of the league, and it was supposed to be the time to bring in big-name players in the league, but they brought in a Coentrão, a Reuss - a player from La Liga and a player from the Bundesliga. What are such players bought for? It is said that his idol is Rosicky, look at Rosicky's performance in the Premier League, does the Premier League really need such a player?

However, as far as Raul can see now, this Reus is also playing very well. As Li Bin said, he is a useful link up front and can expand Tottenham's tactics, and when the Spurs players are racing at a high speed, few can keep up with their tempo, but Reus has mastered it well and is able to pass the ball at that pace, which is an impressive level.

This kind of reinforcement is not simple.

"I'm not a magician, magicians will keep their magic tricks secret, I don't keep my tactics secret," Li Bin didn't talk much about this topic, "I invited you here just to let you see with your own eyes what the potential and strength of our team is." We're not famous, we can't attract you, but our attitude towards football, I think it can appeal to you. Tell you about championships or something, that's my class - that is, I don't have as many championships as you - but when it comes to getting you to play well, I'm better than anyone else. Raul, stay here, play in good shape, and next year, you can win the World Cup! ”
