Chinese fans complained about situ Yunbing. When FIFA match day came again, the first warm-up game of the Chinese team was in Australia!
This means that if Chinese fans want to watch the game on site, they must go to the road. Tickets are not a high burden, but the round-trip air fare and the trouble of going abroad will make many local fans unable to afford.
On the FIFA match day in September, the Chinese team beat the Japanese team and drew with the Korean team, which excited the domestic fans. Now everyone is united to support the Chinese team!
But they want to support the Chinese team on the spot, but they are powerless, or the economic conditions do not allow.
So there were some complaints.
Situ Yunbing has no explanation for this and there is no need to appease the fans. The core of his work is to help the Chinese team improve its strength level, and then talk about other things.
There is no difference in personnel between the large list of Chinese team training and September.
Situ Yunbing found a problem. It was basically difficult for him to recruit new people.
Because before the new season, he gave a lot of cards to the players he thought could be key cultivated to the Chinese team. Even if some candidate players performed well, their growth rate was much slower than those key cultivated players.
If there are new stars one year later or two years later, situ Yunbing may not be able to reuse them for cultivation before the end of the next World Cup. At best, he just makes an investigation and gives some card support. The future achievements can only depend on the nature of these new stars.
The Chinese team came to Sydney, Australia for this training, always playing away, and always going to the away training in advance, which is bound to increase the travel cost. However, the Chinese Football Association calculated that according to the annual salary level of situ Yunbing in Liverpool, while situ Yunbing only received an annual salary of 1 yuan in the Chinese national team, but the gap between them is more than nearly 200 million yuan per year!
Even if the Chinese team goes abroad for away training every month, the combined expenses in terms of venue rental, accommodation, transportation, diet and so on are not enough to save 110% of the annual salary of situ Yunbing saved by the Chinese Football Association!
Therefore, the Chinese Football Association is also loved, and if the team goes outside for training, it will naturally be less tracked by the local media. Even if there are overseas media reports, it will not cause too much public opinion. The Chinese Football Association naturally does not want to get too much attention from the media.
The training and preparation work of the Chinese team in Sydney is much better than that of last month, which is directly related to the improvement of the strength of the players in the team in the past two months and the obvious improvement of their performance in the club.
Such a situation can be said to be human nature. My career is on the rise. Of course, I will be more enthusiastic and more positive.
Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai and Li Peng summarized the training reports of players in the past month, and then the coaching team held a meeting to discuss them.
On the whole, situ Yunbing was satisfied with the performance of the players in the past month. Some players will perform exceptionally well and others will be relatively flat, but the overall improvement is a good trend.
But situ Yunbing still wants to beat those players who grow relatively slowly. They can't feel satisfied when they think they have made progress.
One of the cruelties of competitive sports is that it should never be satisfied!
It's too hard!
So only a few people can stand.
Australia has been a strong team image in Asia since it was included in the Asian Football Association. They won a runner up and a champion in the past two Asian cups. Two months later, Australia was the defending champion in the Asian Cup!
After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Australia's former top stars officially bid farewell to the national team. The well-known stars such as Cahill, Kewell, Schwarzer, Bresciano and Viduka have become a thing of the past.
In the past few years, the strength of Australia has been declining. Just look at the club where their training players play this time.
Basically, there are no absolute main players in the five major leagues. Although there are many players in Europe, most of them are mixed in the second-class leagues.
If compared vertically, even the Chinese team's overseas Legion has higher gold content than Australia.
At least they have Luo Cheng, Luo Xin and Zhao Fenghua who are the main forces in the French league, and Bai yuanfan and Wu Lei who are the main forces in the German League.
During the four-day training in Australia, situ Yunbing was still in the stage of running in the team, allowing them to master the defensive and Counterattack Tactics.
The day before the competition day, situ Yunbing attended the pre competition press conference.
Australian football media swarmed in, and they applauded the visit led by situ Yunbing. After all, there are few heavyweights in Australian football.
Just as situ Yunbing sat on the stage, he saw Australian journalists raise their hands to ask questions. Then he heard the first question and couldn't help laughing.
"Since you took office as the coach of the Chinese national team, from August to September, you followed and personally supervised two young Chinese strikers in Reims, France. From mid and late September to early October, you went to helenfen in the Netherlands to supervise two Chinese players.
You're not like other national team managers. You just appear in the stands of a game with national team players on the weekend.
Is such an approach redefining the work of the national team manager?
In the past, many people thought that the head coach of the national team was very idle. Mourinho and others said that he needed a lot of work and could not coach the national team very early, but now you are obviously the busiest head coach of the national team in the world! "
Situ Yunbing's smile was actually a bit bitter. After a moment of silence, he put away his smile and said seriously: "if I were Mourinho, I would decide to coach the Portuguese national team when I received the invitation of the Portuguese Football Association.
So can I run to the players and supervise and guide the players as I do now? I can say that my behavior has broken into the private life of players and did not give them enough space. This situation is difficult to be accepted by players in Europe!
The most important thing is that most of the players in Portugal are mature. Do I have more requirements for C Ronaldo? Mutinio is over thirty!
So of course I will be very free. I will investigate some players every week, and then remember their performance. When the national team plays, I will comprehensively consider all factors to finalize my lineup, and then go to play, and play a big game every two years.
That's it.
In fact, the point is that the Chinese team first has a large number of young players who need me to do so. Secondly, we are not as professional as Europe in all aspects, so I can only use the stupidest way to catch up with our opponents and speed up our growth.
Maybe it won't take four years. Two years later, my players will hate me coming to them, which may cause inconvenience to their lives.
I also hope that one day I can become idle.
As for the answer to your question, it is obvious that I have not redefined the work of the national team manager. "
Situ Yunbing's coaching career has come to the 11th year. In the past time, he has never thought of opening a sect and redefining anything. He has been racing against death, and this time he came to the final battle!
He wants to win!
No matter what you pay!
He has sacrificed a lot of time with his family, abandoned his beloved clubs and players, and embarked on a road that is actually strange to him. Start again!
But he will go all out to win this game!
At the press conference, Australian media reporters asked again, "what do you think of the current Australian team?"
Australia fired van Marwijk after the world cup, and the new Head Coach Graham Arnold came from the Australian super local league.
Although situ Yunbing doesn't think such a change of command is correct, because most of Australia's international players still play in the European League. A manager who is more familiar with the style and rhythm of the European League should be able to give full play to the strength of the Australian team.
However, since it was his opponent's housework, he naturally would not express his opinion.
For the Australian media, situ Yunbing certainly picked beautiful words and complimented the Australian team.
Australia has indeed been praised for its achievements in the past two Asian cups.
In the face of the upcoming friendly match, will the Chinese team still adhere to the defensive Counterattack Tactics?
Situ Yunbing smiled: "the Chinese team doesn't have the strength to play two or more tactics. Now we just want to hone, shape, mature and exert our power. Then our results should be improved.
And when we come to the away game against a strong team like Australia, we actually have no choice. "
Finally, an Australian reporter asked, "why did the Chinese team play three away friendly matches in a row? We see that some Chinese fans have expressed dissatisfaction with this, and you, as an experienced coach, should also know that continuous away games will consume a lot of physical energy. "
Situ Yunbing smiled: "I just hope the Chinese team can play more difficult games to improve its level. I believe that only pressure can make players and teams grow faster!
There is no other reason. "
Although he is right, the real reason is that he needs to make the Chinese team better adapt to the rhythm of playing away and running back and forth!
Whether it is the Asian Cup or the world cup, the Chinese team has no home to play, so it is a key factor to adapt early to the pressure resistance of not fighting at home, including the stadium atmosphere, adaptation to strange environments and so on!
In fact, many national teams have a decline in performance when they go to a strange environment. Many South American teams have such a situation, and African teams are the most serious.
To have a good result in the future, situ Yunbing had to consider more factors.
