Ace Manager of the Green Field
312 bathing in the sun
Switzerland, 15 kilometers east of Basel, the town of Rheinfelden.
Winter snow is falling, the quiet town is exquisite and beautiful, and Situ Yunbing sits by the window in an ordinary cafe.
Drinking steamy and smooth coffee, Situ Yunbing looked at the snowy scene outside the window, and unexpectedly felt the infinite poetry. From him, he could see the river in the distance, which was the upper Rhine, and Germany was over the Rhine. .
On the calm river, an illusory scene appeared, and the heroic figures of the young Dortmund army emerged one after another.
Situ Yunbing's mouth raised a meaningful smile, I wonder if it contained bitterness.
Looking back at this time last year, he was extremely moisturized. The UEFA Champions League group stage qualifying, the league has a huge lead, and the game challenge he faces is close to 90%!
From Monaco to Hamburg, he has adapted to this gap, but with the end of the season, the pressure of the game challenge has brought him more and more pressure!
To win the league championship, there will always be only one opponent, just stare at the top of the standings.
If it is someone else, it is better than the leader!
If you are yourself, then you must surpass yourself!
The foundation that Klopp has laid in Dortmund for two years is definitely stronger than the foundation of his reconstruction in Hamburg!
The Bundesliga's competitiveness is obviously stronger than that of Ligue 1, in which even if Monaco is not perfect, Situ Yunbing has done the best in subtraction and can be unmatched in the league.
But in the Bundesliga, there are too many teams in the Bundesliga. The standings will never tell you what the true strength of a Bundesliga team is.
Like Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart, etc., who are ranked downstream in the standings at the end of the league half, they may have just appeared in the first half of the season. The problem, once they make a strong rebound, even Bayern Munich, Dortmund, including Hamburg, may face tough bones.
As the year goes by, Situ Yunbing looked at the mottled shadows that appeared in a trance on the river. He sometimes wondered whether there was a god in the sky. They were watching Situ Yunbing challenge this unprecedented game.
Seeing if Situ Yunbing is entangled, trapped, frustrated, will he be satisfied with evil taste.
Or watch him grow up, progress, and become happy when he becomes stronger.
Two years ago, he must not have been so patient with Hamburg, nor as calm as a monk in the outside world.
Looking back at the past two and a half years after coaching, he has indeed changed a lot, being more patient, more accustomed to calmly thinking, and more calm.
It was at this time that someone walked into the cafe and pulled Situ Yunbing back into reality from the infinite reverie. Situ Yunbing couldn't help but stood up, looking softly at the player walking towards himself in casual clothes.
In view of Situ Yunbing’s high standard of signing for winter, there are only a handful of players who can see him in European football, and basically most of them are unlikely to change the court this winter.
But in December, a player was added to his watch list.
Because most clubs in European football are interested in him, and have pulled out real money!
Schalke 04 midfielder core, 22-year-old Croatian international Ivan Rakitic!
Although Rakitic played for Croatia, he was born in Switzerland and grew up here, so on this holiday, Situ Yunbing came to Rakitic's hometown, Rheinfelden.
The staff in the cafe apparently admired and loved Rakitic. When Rakitic shook hands with Situ Yunbing and sat down, the waiter immediately came up and asked him enthusiastically what Rakitic wanted. A glass of juice, then the waiter quickly left with a smile, and did not bother to bother.
It's hard to imagine Rakitic's stars at this level will flow into the market, and it is the transfer window!
But the German media had exposed the reason for Rakitic's departure two weeks ago.
The first is his contract. In half a year, he will expire the contract with Schalke 04, and he originally planned to renew the contract in the summer of 10 years, but because Schalke 04 introduced Raul, and the contract was given Raul’s top salary allowed Rakitic to change the conditions of treatment that he initially negotiated with Schalke 04. Schalke 04 expanded his army and was unable to meet Rakitic financially. Magath was also a stubborn donkey. Continued The appointment was thus stranded.
When the new season begins, when Schalke 04 looks for Rakitic to renew his contract, Rakitic himself has some internal resistance, and the competitive factors will affect his final decision to leave the team!
There are too many team members in Magath, but the runner-up last season has not been able to have a very stable lineup in the new season, including Rakitic has also become very tangled, perhaps Rakitic refused to renew the contract For this reason, even his main position cannot be guaranteed!
What's more, Magath, in the league this season, whether it is platoon formation or on-the-spot scheduling, is simply a feathering, completely out of the normal person's thinking, selling Westman in the summer, but in the game can let Rakitic Go to the guest right back!
For a player of Rakitic's level, even if he is only 22 years old, the head coach must give absolute respect at the professional level, but it is not an ordinary player's casual placement in any position that is not good at and dislikes.
Originally, the outside world had high expectations for Schalke's new season 04. On the basis of the previous season, the league champion is the next step!
But now look at Schalke 04, that is, just left the relegation zone, compete for the championship?Absolutely no drama, there will certainly be no Champions League to play next season!
In this context, how could Rakitic stay in Schalke 04, even if Schalke 04 reached the top 16 in the Champions League!
Schalke 04 did not want to let Rakitic move freely next summer, so he will sell Rakitic everywhere this winter.
The price is very low, no more than 2.5 million euros, far below Rakitic's worth, Schalke 04 can't help, they must at least get back some money, or wait for another half a year, it's really nothing No more.
Situ Yunbing opened the door without too much greeting and said to Rakitic: "I know Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla, Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester City, Everton, Benfica Waiting for the team to send you an invitation, it can be said that in addition to some big players in Europe, basically all teams want you, but too many teams know that they cannot attract you to join, so they can only wait and see.
I have no intention to evaluate other clubs, I just want to tell you that Hamburg wants to get you.
It’s not a supplement to the team, it’s not to increase the thickness of the team, you are not an optional role, you will play an important role in my plan, it can be said that Hamburg is in desperate need of a technical style like you A player with a level of strength!
My burger is in the top row in the Bundesliga. I can tell you frankly that the Bundesliga champion born in May next year is either Hamburg or Dortmund!
At present, the probability of Hamburg winning the championship is lower than Dortmund, probably at 46, we have a 40% probability, Dortmund is 60%.
The reason for this phenomenon is that Hamburg needs more time to grow, and growth always pays for it. Those games that we couldn't afford in the first half of the season are the price, but in the process of the team's overall strength increasing, we are in the second half. The price paid in the season will be smaller, but the league intensity in the second half of the season will also exceed that in the first half of the season, because most teams pursue goals in the second half of the season are more realistic, more motivated, and have a stronger desire to score.
We need you to improve the team's current shortcomings!
I think you have the potential to become a world-class midfielder, and your style fits my tactical ideal very well. When we are sitting here, I can’t help but imagine that when you and De Braun, Roy It's such a dazzling sight that Gretzman and they formed the Hamburg attack group.
We may not be the club that gives you the best contract, but I think we are the club you should choose for growth and achievement.
The short-term goal is only the league championship, the long-term goal must be in the peak battlefield in Europe, I never think that the team I coach should become a springboard for players, even if I respect the player’s personal choice, I will expect my players to get under my coaching Unprecedented success!"
Rakitic listened carefully.
In fact, he would be somewhat honored.
Situ Yunbing as a famous young coach in European football, he gave the outside impression that in addition to being good at training young people, he is also good at recruiting and wisdom.
At present, there are no cases of failure in the transfers he participated in, which is very self-explanatory. Even the most famous coaches will look away, and the top coaches are no exception.
People seem to be waiting for when Situ Yunbing bought a parallel import to break his god's operation in the transfer market.
Of course, many transfers were previously considered to be mysterious operations, but later all proved that the outside world was shortsighted.
However, there are not many cases where Situ Yunbing actually came to persuade the players to persuade the players. This shows another point. He is seen to prove that the players have the potential and is a good seedling, and the players who can be personally persuaded to join must be He valued the players very much, and now the familiar story is that he went to persuade Gareth Bell to Monaco, and then Gareth Bell went to Monaco to start a brilliant chapter in his career.
Today Rakitic was sitting opposite Situ Yunbing, and at least he was highly recognized by Situ Yunbing!
Rakitic said frankly to Situ Yunbing: "Among many clubs interested in me, there is no Bundesliga team, because the club does not recommend me to the Bundesliga team, Schalke 04 does not want me Staying in the Bundesliga, I don’t think they will agree to join me in Hamburg. It’s a pity.”
Situ Yunbing smiled, at least the other party did not refuse Hamburg.
"Schalke 04 puts you on the market and doesn't want you to leave for free after half a year. This is the key point, not that they want to get rid of you.
They need to get some cash back from you!
I will let Hamburg show enough sincerity. In my eyes, good players are priceless. For me, the important thing is that you already have the possibility to join Hamburg. If you want to, Hamburg will at any cost. Take you to the people's park stadium, because you will enhance the strength of the entire team, not just the limited improvement of your personal strength, amplify the pattern, your joining will bring the champion to Hamburg!"
Rakitic was surprised, and then smiled at Situ Yunbing, saying: "I will express to Schalke 04 my decision to transfer to Hamburg, but I will not put pressure on the club publicly, If I fail to complete the transfer in the end, I can decline the invitation of other clubs and choose to join Hamburg in half a year."
Situ Yunbing's face was unbelievable, and Rakitic's commitment really moved him.
He couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think about other clubs anymore?"
Rakitic nodded and said: "Don't think about it, I believe you are a manager who can say what you can do and trust. Otherwise, Monaco cannot create a miracle, nor can Hamburg complete the rebirth at an alarming rate, let alone After you leave, many Monaco players still miss you.
Mr. Situ, I like your coaching style. In my opinion, this is also your personal charm. Especially the pressure and encouragement you give to young people when you lead Hamburg are just right. Your football is full of sunshine. I also I hope to be bathed in this light, and I also believe that under your guidance I can get a breakthrough."
Situ Yunbing couldn't help but smiled proudly.
He didn't have the guts and the iron fist to manage the army. He only took a more humane path. Some people didn't like him, some would think that he still had many shortcomings, but others would appreciate him and trust him.
