winning hand

"I admit that I underestimated the intensity of the Premier League - when the winter transfer time comes, let's consider signings."

After Christmas, it’s already January. Levi has long said that as long as he can win the top four, he can make up for the money problem. Now that he has said that he is at the bottom, Li Bin can buy people.

He also became a lot more courageous. After seeing that Dawson was injured again, what he thought of was to buy someone to supplement the lineup.

Li Bin originally thought that with three players rotating into one main position, and Thiago Silva not injured, he should still be able to survive a season. But he ignored one thing: the Premier League competition is too fierce, Thiago Silva

Go Silva didn't have many injuries in Milan, but he still got injured in the Premier League. The intensity of the Premier League is far more intense than that of Serie A. Li Bin has this point.

Some miscalculations. Fortunately, Thiago Silva did not become glassy, ​​but Li Bin was also worried that he would get sick again in the second half of the season. When one player is Ledley King and the other one may also get sick, he also

If he didn't dare to bet on his luck, he would really be able to survive half a season. Therefore, he also thought that if it didn't work, he would bring in another player in the winter.

Dawson and Woodgate are really a bit tasteless: in terms of skills, they both have some skills, but neither of them is particularly good. In terms of health, they have been suffering from old illnesses for many years, and they get injured from time to time. Stay.

, it didn’t have much effect, and Li Bin couldn’t believe him either.

They are here, but they are sent away? This is indeed a pity. However, in the end, Li Bin originally meant to send them away in the summer. Since they are suffering from frequent injuries before summer, so early

It's not a bad thing to send him away.

Originally, Li Bin could try more changes during this Christmas schedule. However, Dawson and Woodgate were too bad, and he did not dare to rotate. He only dared to use Ledley King and Tyson to death.

Yago Silva was already very dissatisfied with this, but now that Dawson is injured again, he has made up his mind.

"So, we should buy a Premier League defender to take his place? There seems to be no high-level English defender..."

"We are not looking for people in England, we should buy foreign players." Li Bin shook his head, "Next season, we can take back Ramsey in the midfield and the forwards, and then look at Walker, who promotes the youth team, local players

There is no shortage. After sending away Dawson and Woodgate, we will not buy local English players for the time being. The British defenders do not fit in well with our tactics."

Li Bin has always emphasized the pressure of football. An important factor in pressing football is that there must be a good connection between the three lines. And if you want to play like this, a very important factor is the back line.

You have to be able to switch between a back three and a back four - something that the Dutchman identified as early as Cruyff's playing days.

The tactic of high-post pressing originated from German football and Dutch football. What cannot be ignored in German football is the three-back style of play. Although due to the change in the offside rule, the sweeper cannot be seen, but the tactics

The inner things are still there. When Loew is training, he often

Divide the team into small pieces and stipulate the positions of players. This is a kind of changing training. In English football, it is 442 all year round. From the 1990s to the present, there have been only two attempts to try three backs and four backs.

The concept of integrating three defenders is difficult for them to understand.

In 2002, Bielsa led Argentina and divided the team into 24 training areas. In the Premier League, it was Moyes who had this awareness and divided the training into six training areas - the backwardness of the Premier League can be reflected here.

The British parallel positioning cannot allow free switching between three and four backs, and their back line is not strong enough. This is quite different from Li Bin's tactical requirements.

In fact, the shortcomings of British defenders can be seen in a very important place: when their own players are in possession of the ball in the midfield, if they are defenders from Serie A or La Liga, they will press forward to help the ball.

team to provide help, and England-style defenders, they will be watching from the back

Standing, watching his teammates attack - this kind of gap is a technical gap that few people can make up for, and it is something Li Bin does not want to tolerate. The current Ledley King is not very good in this regard, since he wants

When it comes to substitutions, Li Bin also wants to directly replace him with a suitable candidate.

When it comes to good defenders in the Premier League, Li Bin also knows a few. Sima Lin was even in a low-level team in the summer, and even now, it is not difficult to poach Cahill. But Li Bin also knows that these players

They all have serious problems, including mediocre defensive positioning and weak ability to hold the ball. These problems make him not very willing to use them.

Li Bin knows that constantly selling local players and buying foreign players is a very hateful thing. Arsenal did something similar in the Premier League back then. The roster was handed over for a game, from the main players to the substitutes.

There were no local players among the 16 players. At that time, Arsenal was scolded by the entire Premier League, as if Wenger was the heinous sinner. Li Bin knew this and was very cautious about it, but

Yes, I am still not willing to accommodate the defenders. Putting a player with rougher skills in the frontcourt will only lower the offensive efficiency. As long as he is diligent and willing to run, it is not a big problem. He can tolerate it, but in the backcourt

First, he hopes to establish a good defense. He has been holding back for half a season and gained a reputation for cultivating local players. Now, it is time for him to ship.

The individual skills of Tottenham's players are not bad, but their tactical understanding is still at the level of English football. They are good at playing parallel defenders, but they cannot play more advanced tactics. Now they can barely maintain it.

It depends on the strength of the team, but after arriving, Li Bin estimates that they will still not be able to adapt to the requirements.

"Is there a suitable candidate?" Esposito asked.

"Ager is the best, but I'm afraid that when he comes to the Premier League, his body will become glassy. As for the others..." Li Bin still shook his head. He did know a few, but those few people were not very good.

Good deal. Hummels is now playing in Dortmund

Good job, there is no need to transfer, David Luiz is a bit green, and Mangala and Varane are too young - his original intention is to hold on until the summer and grab Lucio, but it is still only the season.

Halfway through, the plan has to change, which is a bit troublesome.

"I still have the same question, do you think we can dig Palmeri over?" Esposito asked.

"How is Palmeri doing now?" Esposito brought up the old story again, and Li Bin had to ask.

"It's very bad. He has been playing the main role in Parma, and his level is no problem, but when he debuted, it was too bad. Parma went from being the Champions League champion last season to being in the middle and upper reaches now. It has fallen too fast. The team has no

If they perform poorly, the players will naturally be scolded. Moreover, what is even worse is that news broke in the newspapers two days ago that Barcelona wanted to spend huge sums of money to introduce Agger this winter. Once Agger left, only

I'm afraid it will be more difficult for him."

This answer made Li Bin a little confused. After he left Parma, the performance there naturally plummeted. Although Allegri is still holding on to the situation, allowing Parma to maintain sixth place in the league.

In terms of position, however, this is supported by Rossi in the front and Agger in the back. It is estimated that once these two people leave, Parma's performance will further decline.

Making his debut in such a team is not a good thing. If you look at the level of a young player, Palmieri plays well. But if you have to ask him to play at the defensive level of last season, then it is not possible.

It's possible. Parma's current frontcourt has been completely changed. The frontcourt has changed, and the defenders will be cheated. There is no way Palmieri can satisfy the fans, and his life in Parma is not very good.

His level is not bad, but no matter how good the player is, he can't withstand the team's torment. Because Barcelona did not buy Yaya Toure, there are only three people on the back line: Puyol, Pique and Milito. However,

Milito is injured again and cannot play anymore. Barcelona will not be able to play football if they don't buy a defender. Therefore, they must buy Agger. And once Agger leaves, Palmieri really has no hope.

"Li, I suggest that we buy him. Among these young players now, there are only two who really worry me about their future development, one is Palmieri and the other is Brazil's Dede. Both of them belong to

The kind of talents that are so amazing, wherever they are placed, the coaches everywhere will not be able to help but use them to death, and they can't wait to drain their potential. Now, Ah

This is how Legri is used. If we don't buy him, the only place he will go to is the two companies in Milan, but the current virtues of those two companies are not suitable for good defenders. Milan dared to rank the average age this year

A 35-year-old is starting the game, and Inter Milan’s backcourt is also young. If a good player passes, they will definitely have to use it to death. If they do, the child will be really useless.”

Esposito's words are not for the team, but more for the players. He knows what Palmieri's potential is, and he also knows that if such a player is placed in the hands of someone who is not good enough to train him, it will really be a problem.

They may be squeezed dry. They can't buy Brazil's Dede, but Palmieri can't continue like this.

"If we buy someone, how much will it cost?"

Li Bin and Tottenham have negotiated a transfer fee of 30 million per year, but if signings are really needed in the winter, Li Bin estimates that Tottenham will not be particularly opposed. Tottenham has performed well this season and is still in the league.

In the third position, this is more than expected for Tottenham, and the budget overestimation problem

It's not a big problem. Moreover, if Li Bin introduces Palmeri, he will also prepare to get rid of Woodgate. Although his reputation has been greatly reduced now, he has an English household registration and is a fringe international player. How can he do it?

Worth five to six million, the amount Tottenham really need to pay should not be very big.

"It's around 15 million. Young defenders in Serie A are almost more expensive."

"If it's not very expensive, let's buy him in the winter. The current situation of Tottenham is better than I imagined. Maybe, in the second half of the season, we can achieve some results."

In Li Bin's plan, he originally did not plan to play any cup competitions. He is not qualified for the European war, and the two domestic cup competitions in England are not of great significance. Qualifying for the Champions League is more important than any domestic cup competition.

Much more, he had originally made up his mind to fight on a single line and strive for fourth place.

However, the situation this season is better than he imagined. Although Manchester United and Liverpool are leading the way, he still cannot catch up, but Arsenal's performance is very average, and Chelsea, under the leadership of Scolari, is now full of contradictions.

Robba even threatened to transfer, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be competitive. Li Bin tried his best to recall, and remembered

If I am correct, in the second half of the season, Chelsea should have invited Hiddink, gave up the league, and strived for the Champions League, while Arsenal should have bought Arshavin to maintain fourth place - but

This season, they have nowhere to buy Arshavin. Li Bin estimates that the only shortcoming in competing with them for the fourth place is lack of experience.

Therefore, this made Li Bin think a little bigger. Wouldn't it be better if he won the Champions League qualification and also won an FA Cup championship or a League Cup championship?

But, can Palmieri really adapt to the Premier League?
