Liverpool, a port city in northwest England.
A city with more open and free culture, but in the hot summer, the large and small pubs on the Mersey River are filled with depression and endless sadness.
Liverpool fans have no interest in England playing in the European Cup, at least they are not as loyal to the royal family as the people of Manchester, who are 50 kilometers to the East. They are absolutely loyal to England.
Manchester, Manchester...
This year's Premier League trophy has been picked up by Manchester's team.
Even if it's not Manchester United, it can only be said that it's not damn Manchester United, but it doesn't make people happy.
They are used to the carnival in Manchester and the posture of watching the enemy next door stand aloof.
But when Everton, the city's arch rival, ranked higher than Liverpool at the end of the season, the Red Army fans really had a very humiliating depression.
When the curtain fell on the Premier League in 2012, Liverpool ranked eighth in the Premier League!
This is the worst ranking of Liverpool League since the establishment of the Premier League!
Tied the lowest ranking in 94!
Even daglish, the former king, can only end his class in gloom.
People talk about Dalglish with no respect. Maybe it was the peak of Dalglish's coaching when he led Blackburn to win the Premier League title.
Since then, Dalglish has drifted away from the trend in the coaching industry.
Liverpool have not even a manager up to now. It is said that the closest thing to Liverpool is Rogers, who coached Swansea last season. He did a good job, but coached Liverpool? Who can he bring confidence to?
A young manager under the age of 40 wants to succeed at Anfield?
I'm afraid he will be overwhelmed by the unbearable pressure!
In front of the bar sat a group of old fans, who drank muggy wine and sighed from time to time, as if they were dying.
Someone was refreshing the news on the Internet with a mobile phone and suddenly shouted.
"Shit! The Liverpool official announced the new manager! "
"Who? The boy Rogers? "
"He has no blood at all. He has a rotten smell of academy. I don't like him."
"No, no, no! No no no! Listen to me! Listen to me! You'll never guess who it is! "
"Then don't you hurry up! Who is it? "
"The Chinese!"
"Chinese? Chinese!!! You mean? What's his name again? "
"I only know his name is situ. I forgot his full name!"
"Situ Yunbing! The young man who led Monaco two years ago and just led Hamburg to the Champions League this year! "
"Is he coming to Liverpool?"
"He has arrived! Here's a picture of him coming out of John Lennon Airport! He's with Henry and Warner! Absolutely true! "
There was jubilation in the bar, as if people had forgotten that Rogers was still discussing that he could not succeed when he was young, but now there is a manager who is more than ten years younger than Rogers. No one cares!
Bang bang!
Everyone drank the wine from the bottle and put it on the bar. They are going to Anfield!
......
When situ Yunbing came to Anfield accompanied by the Liverpool owner and the club president, he dressed the same as in the Champions League final in a slim vest, shirt and trousers.
After stu Yunbing walked out of John Lennon Airport, he felt the pervasiveness and rapid response of the British media fleet street!
When I came to Anfield, a large number of reporters had gathered outside, some of whom were obviously very excited to applaud!
Warner reminded situ Yunbing in his ear: "the people clapping over there are the echo. They support us. It's hard for the media outside Liverpool to say. Anyway, our public enemy is the sun!"
Situ Yunbing did his homework. After the 1989 heathburg tragedy, the sun distorted the facts and reported that Liverpool fans stole the property of the dead and prevented rescue, Liverpool launched a boycott of the sun for more than 20 years.
Situ Yunbing never liked the media and was unwilling to deal with them, so Warner's reminder was not necessary.
On May 30, Liverpool officially held a press conference, which was attended by boss Henry and chairman Werner. Situ Yunbing sat with them one left and one right and signed the work contract with a smile.
On site reporters have photographed and recorded this moment.
Situ Yunbing then took over a Liverpool shirt from his boss Henry, which arrived at Anfield an hour ago. The name of situ Yunbing was printed on the back.
After showing off his shirt, situ Yunbing took over Liverpool's scarf and held it high above his head.
The inauguration ceremony is completed.
Henry and Werner took the initiative to stand aside and left the stage to situ Yunbing. They also implicitly expressed their position that situ Yunbing would be given enough power and autonomy.
A reporter from the times immediately asked situ Yunbing, "why did you refuse Barcelona?"
In fact, Barcelona did not invite situ Yunbing publicly. They all contacted privately, but journalists with experience and news channels certainly know what happened behind the scenes. Even if there is no conclusive evidence, they can bluff to see the effect.
Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "any rumors about my future have no significance of hype. I am now the manager of Liverpool. This is the job I want. I will continue my coaching career here and impact a greater dream!"
Situ Yunbing was never led by reporters.
So the guardian reporter asked, "why Liverpool?"
The subtext is that Liverpool ranked 8th in the Premier League last season, which is the worst ranking in the Premier League era. It is already a nameless and down-to-earth giants!
Even the Champions League qualification can't be guaranteed. If we didn't win the Carling Cup last season, we wouldn't even have to play the Europa League Cup in the new season!
Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "because Liverpool has never won the Premier League Championship, because as a famous club around the world, Liverpool last won the Champions League in 2005, but now it is no longer qualified to compete in the European Champions League, because Liverpool has experienced changes in management in the past few years, internal management is chaotic and team construction is in a mess.
All this means that my workload will be great and challenging!
I will try my best to get everything back on track at Anfield, restore the confidence of the hopeless team and make Liverpool competitive! "
About a year ago, situ Yunbing publicly rejected Manchester City, which won the Premier League title this year, so it is difficult for the outside world to understand why situ Yunbing chose Liverpool. He obviously has a better place to go.
Situ Yunbing's answer made reporters look at each other.
To be honest, he's not belittling Liverpool, but it's not good to expose the scars.
Henry and Werner looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In fact, like these reporters, they are at the stage of getting familiar with and understanding situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing added: "if this job is not challenging, I will not come here. If Liverpool is a long-term successful club, I will not come here.
I hope to be more rational when facing the reality. I don't want to say the glory of Liverpool in the past. Liverpool fans and some supporters of Liverpool have said these cliches in the past 20 years!
If we still miss the past, Liverpool can't open a new situation. If we still deceive ourselves and others with our former glory, everything may be irreparable when we wake up.
Today I became the manager and my work will begin at this time. Everyone in the club, including me, needs to adapt to the new environment, new goals and new challenges!
The era of lying on the honor book and waiting to die has passed. Liverpool has been despised by many people. What should we do?
Pretend you can't see?
Then take the glory of the last century as the basis for counterattack?
Of course not. We want to dye the sky of England and even Europe red. It's not Manchester United's red, it's Liverpool's red! "
The local Liverpool reporters looked very excited and they stood up and clapped wildly!
However, compared with the large number of reporters on Fleet Street, these local people in Liverpool are not very prominent.
A reporter from the BBC asked situ Yunbing: "you cleaned the team at the beginning of taking office in Hamburg and Monaco. Will you do the same in Liverpool?"
Situ Yunbing snapped his fingers and nodded: "good question. People always talk about building a team step by step and integrating the cultural heritage of the club into the team construction. It takes a process piled up by time, but look around us. The times are progressing. We hope to cultivate talents, but we can't cultivate enough talents!
So of course we have to recruit and of course we have to replace the lineup.
When the limit of a player is only the strength in the middle of the Premier League, do we need to take time to cultivate it?
Someone might say: how do you know where his limit is?
Of course I can't be 100% sure. No one can be sure, but every manager has his own judgment. I have mine, Ferguson has Ferguson, Wenger has Wenger.
We may make the same mistake, misestimating a player's talent limit and misjudging a player's strength.
But this is one of our work contents. At present, there are less than 10 players in the Liverpool squad who I think can help the team return to the top and become the hot players in the Premier League. I can pronounce their names.
Suarez, sterling, Carroll, Henderson, Gerrard, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Enrique.
Please note that when I say these names, it does not mean that they will become the absolute main force of the team. They just meet the staffing standards of the championship team. Some people are positioned as substitutes or rotation players, and some players can become the main force.
I don't know the rest. Maybe it's a waste of time to be a substitute.
In other words, if they deserve Liverpool and Liverpool's ambition to win the championship, why did Liverpool only get eighth in the League last season?
You can't put the blame on Dalglish just because Dalglish is gone, can you?
I will clean a group of players, I will introduce a group of players. If the players are still in the team, I need them to convince me to stay and trust them with practical actions!
People always like to describe the transformation of the team as a revolution. OK, now I'm going to carry out a revolution in Liverpool. Those who don't support me in the club can leave immediately. I'll open the door. There are no personal grievances!
Because I am leading a red army to compete for the Premier League Championship and the European Championship. Liverpool is not a team that can find reasons to comfort itself as long as next year's ranking is one or two higher than this year's league ranking! "
Situ Yunbing has begun to establish his authority in the interview at the inauguration ceremony!
Coming here at Liverpool's weakest and worst time may be the best time for him to sort out his authority!
