After agreeing on the transfer with Sanz, Li Bin didn't think about it any more. He went to Italian TV, participated in a TV show, and hosted the World Cup commentary.

Every time there is a big competition, TV stations in various countries will hire some head coaches as temporary commentators to explain football to the fans, analyze the game, and tell the fans how the game is going through various analyses. This kind of job can be considered a good job.

of temporary employment.

Generally speaking, this kind of temporary commentary work has a clear price tag. For example, how much does it cost for a game or how much does it cost to participate in a program? There are price tags. Some are relatively well-known coaches or retired big-name coaches.

A star can earn tens of thousands of euros to commentate on a game. For example, Li Bin knows that Pula is currently running for UEFA president.

Tiny, as a retired superstar, can earn 70,000 euros to commentate on a game for French television. In contrast, although Li Bin is also a famous coach, he does not have much

It's a lot of money, and participating in the show is considered a friendship, and each game of commentating is 15,000 euros, which is the price of his salary.

Compared with the big names, his salary is a bit less. However, those people have accumulated popularity when they played football before retiring, and Li Bin only has the title of coach on his head, so compared to others,

The price is lower and there is nothing to complain about.

"In fact, instead of staying here to commentate for them, it is better to go back to China and explain the World Cup to domestic fans. Your popularity in China is still a bit low. If you go back to commentate once during the World Cup, then,

Your popularity will definitely increase a lot."

Li Siman complained about his decision for a long time after learning about it. For such a big thing as the World Cup, if Li Bin is willing to go back to commentate, he will definitely be able to make many people know him, right? Li Siman's main job in Italy now is interviewing

Parma, she is also willing to make Li Bin more famous.

"I'm a coach, not a player, so what's the use of popularity to me?" Li Bin asked, "If I go back to China, who is willing to give me 150,000 yuan for a commentary? If I don't earn extra money, I can work as a free laborer.

Am I sick?"

"I'm also very surprised about this. I've never seen you endorse any contract or anything like that. Although it may be because you are not good-looking, everyone gives you a contract..."

"I just turned down anyone who came to me with a contract." Li Bin couldn't help but fight back, "I'm a coach, not an actor or a player. I don't need to make money by selling my face. As for the issue of money...

My family doesn’t lack that much money, so I only make what I want to make.”

Although Li Bin said this, he knew that the reason why he was unwilling to return to China was because the domestic commentary environment probably could not accommodate him.

Commenting here in Italy is a relatively relaxed environment. When commenting, even if you have a lot of personal opinions and express dissatisfaction with certain players or teams, no one will care. However, if it is in

In China, I'm afraid it won't work. He remembered very clearly that in China, a certain commentator named Huang was unlucky because he said the wrong thing. He didn't want to have nothing to do and go back to China to get into trouble. There are people here.

Isn't it better to make money and talk nonsense than to go back?

Moreover, this time of giving commentary to the TV station is a good time to build up your reputation: Is there anyone who can predict the outcome of the World Cup better than him? As long as you find a good package for these words and say it out, why worry about not being famous?

Xiang? Now that he is a well-known coach in Italy, he has the opportunity to expand his reputation for his own accumulation. Why not?

And in the TV show, that's what he does.

"I estimate that the World Cup this time will not be very good." In the program, Li Bin also made a prediction, which he said was a prediction. In fact, he also referred to his own memory and said it was a prediction.

That's all right. However, when he spoke, he still spoke based on his understanding of current football. Even if he knew what would happen in the future, he had to give a good reason, otherwise he would be suspected.

It’s not fun if it’s a monster. “This World Cup will probably be better than

The 2002 World Cup was much more boring."

"Since ancient times, there have been no good games in major competitions. If it's good to watch, don't watch the World Cup." When Italy played Ghana in the first group match, Li Bin's partners included Italian commentator Karachi and retired Italian player Tino.

Baggio, Karachi responded to his words, "The key lies in how this World Cup will be played."

"My personal opinion? It's dull, boring, monotonous, and muscle and confrontation have become the mainstream. Based on the 2004 competition, it is more rigid and track-oriented."

The few minutes before the start of the game are usually the time to make predictions about the game. There are three people commentating, the coach is responsible for tactics, the players are responsible for technology, and there is also a commentator who has rich information knowledge and connection skills. This is extremely important.

.And before this game, Li Bin made his own prediction like this.

"But this time in Brazil, people call them the dream quartet. They should play well, right?"

"It's hard to say. Let's bet. I think they will lose in this World Cup. The champions must be defensive teams, such as France and Italy."

"This is really surprising. Can anyone like these two teams?"

If Li Bin was just an ordinary person, he would naturally be ridiculed for speaking like this. Brazil is now known as the inevitable champion. During an interview, Ronaldinho even said that even his grandmother can win the championship - obviously, Ronaldinho's grandmother and Ibrahimovic

Grandma, a Lakers fan

Grandma is also a hidden master - but Li Bin directly denied them. If Li Bin was not the defending champion of the UEFA Cup and a newly emerged Serie A coach, he would definitely be laughed at when he said this, but

Now that he said this, Karachi did not dare to refute him immediately.

But France and Italy?

The French team stumbled before the World Cup and was almost eliminated. In the end, coach Domenech had to beg Zidane to save the situation; the Italian team became extremely unpredictable because of the phone call, let alone winning the championship.

In the group, there are the African powerhouse Ghana, the world's second-ranked Czech Republic and the eighth-ranked United States. Qualification is a problem. At this time, you dare to say that you support these two teams. If you don't have a good reason, you will definitely be laughed at.

To please Italy.

And Li Bin immediately expressed his opinion.

It is not easy to deduce the result of an event based on the cause, but if there is a result and the cause can be deduced, it is very simple. Li Bin knows who the champion was in 2006, and it will be easier to deduce the tactics in reverse.

Much more.

At first glance, this does not seem to be a big deal, but by doing so, Li Bin can know the direction of tactical development better than others, and judge the trend of football at least one month earlier than others - compared to others, he can

A lot of things can be inferred earlier. What's more, what Li Bin knew was not just in 2006. He could also infer many subsequent tactical evolutions bit by bit.

Of course, in addition to this, it also has another function, which is that it can be used to pretend to be a prophet when the TV is doing commentary...

Now is the time for Li Bin to build up his reputation, and he doesn't care to say more words to make himself look great. However, it is very troublesome how to hide his advanced knowledge from his own eyes.

Fortunately, Li Bin has been thinking about these issues over the years, and he doesn't think it's difficult to talk about it at this time.

"I'm not optimistic about Brazil." Li Bin expressed his opinion to Karachi, "The dream quartet is a joke. When did Adriano know how to cooperate with others? If Kaká knew how to cooperate with the pillar center, Gilardino

Will it be scrapped? Both quartets are scrapped, what else can I say? I’ll still watch

Tactically, in all previous World Cups, the Brazilian team has relied on its unparalleled personal skills and excellent competition for half goals to become a strong contender for the championship. But as I said, football now is different from before.

It's the same, but Brazil can't see that, and I think it's hard for them to win."

Li Bin thought for a moment and then continued.

"The same goes for Argentina and Spain. They are technically very good, but they rely too much on Riquelme. But without relying on Riquelme, they will play worse - until this problem is solved, they have no hope.

As for Germany and England, your skills are a bit inferior, so I think countries like Italy and France that combine technology and physical fitness are the teams that are likely to win the championship."

"Since the new era, players' running ability and coverage have received more and more attention on the football field. Players like Davis and Gattuso have become more and more eye-catching. This represents a kind of football

Popular trend, football is transitioning to track and field.

In 2004, it was a beginning, and this World Cup, I think it will reach its peak. And France’s 4231 is a tactic created by Jacquet, which is classic and indestructible. In Italy, Mr. Lippi replaced the previous one with 4411.

After the tactics, they are getting better and better. I personally think that if they add some explosive luck, they will win the championship."

Although UEFA and FIFA have always called for artistic football, in fact, everyone has to admit that football is indeed becoming track and field. The running distance of the players is the most direct evidence, and

The Football Federation's attitude also indirectly illustrates this problem: Before 2008, the Football Federation had never announced the running distance of players in official games, but at the 2008 European Cup, they had to compromise and start counting. Li Bin's view is

Absolutely impossible to go wrong.

If just now, people had doubts about Li Bin's words, and even thought that he said it deliberately to please the Italian media, then now, people have suddenly realized that Li Bin's words have some truth.

"So who do you think will be the explosive player?" Dino Baggio couldn't help but ask.

Li Bin thought for a while before speaking, "If you want me to say... Piero."

"When was the last time Del Piero broke out? In 2000? No, if he had broken out at that time, we would have been the European champions. So, how many more years will we be able to find the time when he breaks out? Bet on

Isn’t there something adventurous about him?”

Li Bin didn't speak, just smiled. He also remembered that the goal against Germany was Del Piero's first goal in several years in the national team. However, it is this statement that arouses people's interest, isn't it?

?

"Want to make a bet?"

"We don't want to bet with you. We are currently investigating the football bettors." Karachi smiled, "Besides, what harm does it do to me if he becomes a key figure? I will still be very happy. Let us see, this time

In the World Cup, is it really what you said, Italy can perform well?"
