In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing downplayed the negative impact of the termination of the winning streak and commented on the performance of the game.

"In the first half, we acted like an angry Bull, blindly being fooled by our opponents, while in the second half, we were rational beasts, giving our opponents enough aggressiveness and pressure. If we were given a few more minutes, maybe we could stage a big reversal."

There are many such unpopularities in the Premier League. If you only look at the details, Liverpool will pay for its poor performance in the first half. If you look at it from a macro perspective, there is nothing to regret at the start of the season's league wins and 1 draw.

Just treat it normally.

But top coaches must strive for excellence. If problems are discovered in time, they must start to solve them. They cannot turn a wound into abscess. At that time, scraping the bone to treat the poison may be good. If a strong man has to cut off his arm, it will have a huge impact.

Situ Yunbing glanced in the lounge and chatted with Alonzo casually about the game. Then, after the players were all packed, he called Coutinho, who was looking down at him and did not dare to look at him when facing him.

The teammates didn't know what Situ Yunbing asked Coutinho to do. They thought that maybe Situ Yunbing was giving Coutinho a face and wanted to find an independent space to scold him.

The key reason why Liverpool's overall performance in the first half was Coutinho.

The football stadium is not big or small. When 11 players on both sides of the field have tactical or technical problems, they will bring a chain reaction. This is a deep understanding of Situ Yunbing when coaching Monaco and Hamburg, because he always uses tactics to strategically defeat the opponent's opponent's point, which triggers a chain reaction in the opponent's overall offensive and defensive system.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liverpool's big defeat in the first half was caused by Coutinho's problem.

Coutinho followed Situ Yunbing silently. He didn't dare to speak, but just followed silently.

Situ Yunbing took him to the parking lot and sat in the Audi that he had given to him by his sponsor after joining Liverpool, signaling Coutinho to come on as well.

Situ Yunbing drove away from Anfield and took Coutinho to one of the highest and best-visited restaurants in Liverpool and even the UK, Panoramic 34 Restaurant.

By the window, you can overlook the dusk scene of Liverpool City through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the beautiful scenery of the Mersey River flowing peacefully.

After ordering the meal, Situ Yunbing handed over the menu to Coutinho. The latter was completely confused and didn't know why Situ Yunbing wanted to bring him to the restaurant for dinner.

The last supper?

Seeing that he did not respond, Situ Yunbing took back the menu and said, "I'll order it for you and recommend some of their features for you to try. If you like it, you can bring friends and family to eat here next time. The environment here is very good. The most important thing is that no one will come to ask you for an autograph, or encounter an Everton fan who will harass you."

After Situ Yunbing ordered dinner, the waiter poured them soda water and left.

Situ Yunbing looked at Coutinho and asked curiously: "What are you thinking?"

Coutinho asked slowly, "What?"

Situ Yunbing couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Coutinho opened his mouth, then shook his head and said, "Thinking nothing."

Situ Yunbing put away his smile and said softly: "Let me guess, you must have been muttering in your heart: What will the man opposite who yelled at me two hours ago do to me? How will he punish me? Teach me a lesson? Will he never trust me again?"

Coutinho opened his eyes slightly, his mouth flattered and he didn't seem to know what to say.

Situ Yunbing said lightly: "The game is over, I like to look forward. Many people remember that I have never lost at home for two years in Hamburg, but my first appearance in coaching career was a crushing defeat at home!

This made me understand that I must defend my dignity at home. It is not only my dignity, but also the team and the fans. When the dignity of the fans is shattered, they certainly need to find a vent. Sometimes they are players, sometimes they are coaches, and sometimes they are clubs!

At that time, I could only look forward, and I hope you look forward, too.

To be honest, when I came to Liverpool, the team building plan was very different from before, but there were some young players similar to those. In our current lineup, you, Casemiro, Robertson, Sterling, Valdy, Mahrez, etc., this is much better than introducing a large number of young players around 20 years old in Hamburg before. Perhaps this is also a kind of improvement that belongs to me.

But I know that in my subconscious, I respect the Premier League and Liverpool. If you want to succeed in this league, age may not be a problem, but the core is strength. As the Liverpool coach, I must of course be responsible for Liverpool. This is the best respect.

Five months ago, I carefully selected the players. You are one of them. You have enviable talents and have a certain foundation in experience in the five major European football leagues. So in a sense, I also have requirements for the strength of the players."

Coutinho finally dared to look directly at Situ Yunbing. His eyes were filled with frustration and sadness, and he whispered to Situ Yunbing in a slightly innocent tone: "Boss, I just want to prove myself, prove it to you, show it to all my teammates, and show it to the fans. I want to succeed here and gain enough attention."

Perhaps Situ Yunbing's gentle way made Coutinho willing to communicate with Situ Yunbing. Situ Yunbing was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you care too much about the reports in the newspaper?"

Coutinho also remained silent for a moment before saying, "But what is said above is true."

Fleet Street pays attention to Liverpool in addition to reporting on their victory, but naturally it will also analyze some details and data from time to time.

Among them, in addition to the performance of Coutinho on the field, there is also a conclusion derived from data that is considered a negative report.

Coutinho is the player with the most substitutions in Liverpool in all competitions since the new season!

From this, it is inferred that he never proved himself in front of Situ Yunbing, had not been recognized by the head coach, and his situation at Liverpool is not instant.

Situ Yunbing certainly knows these things. When coaching in England, he must devote some of his energy to understand what happened outside and what was written about Liverpool in the newspapers, otherwise he would easily be caught off guard.

"It seems that we lack sufficient understanding and communication. This is my dereliction of duty as the head coach, but I hope you can understand where I am, just like we sit here and see the view outside the window. The tall buildings are located in a coordinated manner. Liverpool is like this entire neighborhood. I want to ensure that the overall design and layout are reasonable and that each building will not collapse. But I cannot guarantee which building will become a landmark. Maybe a new building will be built tomorrow to become a benchmark for the city."

Coutinho looked thoughtfully at the view outside the window, then withdrew his gaze in a little disappointed manner.

Situ Yunbing said earnestly to him: "I think we have differences in the 'provement' matter. You have not proved yourself in Inter Milan, you have not proved yourself in Espanyol, I don't have enough reason to ask you to prove yourself immediately in the Premier League when you first came to Liverpool!

At least I have never had such an idea or a requirement for you. I think you need a season to complete your familiarity with the Premier League, improve yourself, integrate into the team, find your own positioning and the role you should play, and then try to prove yourself.

Felipe, if you think you can score more goals by proving yourself, and if you have a technical performance that makes the audience's eyes shine on the court is to prove yourself, then I think you can never prove yourself.

If the team fails, how can you be called successful?

To be honest, you are a talented player among Brazilian players, but you are not the kind of genius who is favored by God. In this era, Neymar in Santos, he is!

He has the potential to become another Brazilian player who conquered the world with gorgeous technology after Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

But I am not optimistic about his future, he will not become a bad one, he will become a superstar, but I think he and you are making the same thinking mistakes as you are now.

Brazilian players always use the mindset of ‘What should I do to make myself better’ to play, but what I want to say is that the real great stars should often be: What should I do to make my team better!

Ironically, the more talented the player is, the more likely he is to make such mistakes.

Ronaldo, the two most recognized superstars in football today, took 4 years to complete the transition from self to team in the Premier League. Messi is very lucky. Fortunately, he is in a team with a very outstanding team, but once Barcelona starts to decline in the future, I am sure he will make great sacrifices for the team. Although he is not the kind of strong and exposed player, I am sure he will do this because this is what Barcelona teaches him.

Back to the point, if your eyes are just staring at the strongest current stars, you may not be aware of what they have experienced before and what they will face in the future.

You might as well take a step back and see what stars like Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso and Ribery are doing on the court.

I won't encourage you to make unrealistic efforts. To be honest, no one on our team can reach the personal ability level of Messi and Ronaldo in the next decade through hard work or support from me!

It’s not embarrassing to admit this, but I’m confident that I can build the best team in the world!

Do you want to work hard to pursue impossible goals, or do you work hard to be part of the best team?

This is what I hope you can understand and work hard to make. This is what I expect from you and what I ask for you."

Coutinho was stunned when he heard this. Situ Yunbing's open and honest conversation with him was very important to him. At least it made him feel valued by the head coach, and at the same time it further clarified the direction!
