Lord of Greenery

Chapter 373 Why did Benitez dare to come to Inter Milan?
"Jose just left us, and he led us to win the Triple Crown. It is normal for everyone to be grateful." Li Ze persuaded.

"Now I'm the head coach of the team." Benitez said puzzledly.

Li Ze still persuasively persuaded, but Benitez was still so stubborn.

If you switch to an impatient player, and hear Benitez's disrespectful words, he will probably give up soon, and even harbor malice towards him.

However, after some exchanges, Li Ze discovered that Benitez's actions were not all due to jealousy.

"His influence in the team is too great. The players will compare him with me in everything I do, so I can't coach."

This is what Benitez meant, and Li Ze also understood it.

Now that Mourinho has led the team to win the Triple Crown and left, everyone's impression of him is generally raised a lot.

In the hearts of Inter Milan's current players, Mourinho is already the best head coach in history.

In fact, after Mourinho came to Inter Milan, his results were not very good at the beginning. He won the league championship in the first season, which has always been questioned.

At that time, there were even Inter Milan stars like Bergomi who stood up and questioned him in public.

It can be seen that, coaching in a wealthy family, the pressure of public opinion is considerable.

As Mourinho's successor, Benitez did not want to live in Mourinho's shadow.

In terms of tactical ability, he is no worse than Mourinho, rather stronger.

If the team can follow his ideas and the players can listen to him wholeheartedly, Inter Milan may not be able to create greater glories under his hands.

After such an exchange, Li Ze basically understood what Benitez was thinking.

He can't let the players always compare with Mourinho, to be precise, the almost perfect Mourinho in the players' hearts.

It's really like that comparison, he can't coach now.

Benitez sees the problem very clearly. If he wants to transform the team, he must first erase Mourinho's influence on the team.

Only the players realize that he is the manager and listen to him instead of thinking about what Mourinho would do in the current situation.

Knowing what Benitez was thinking, Li Ze also understood where Benitez made a mistake.

He miscalculated Mourinho's influence in this Inter Milan.

Mourinho has just left. Before Mourinho left, he led the team to win the Triple Crown. Mourinho himself is a very charismatic head coach.

To sum up, Mourinho's current status in Inter Milan is so high that no one can match.

Take down Mourinho's photos, not to mention the players will have opinions, even the fans and even the team management will also have opinions.

Everyone will think that Benitez is just a villain with no stomach.

And no matter what Benitez does, he cannot eliminate the traces left by Mourinho.

This is doomed Benitez to replace Mourinho, he is destined to live in the shadow of a madman.

After Li Ze told Benitez his opinion, the Spaniard actually replied: "I know."

Li Ze was dumbfounded.

Although what Mourinho left behind was a championship lineup, it was also a mess.

It's not just a matter of the age structure of the players in the team, the successor has to live in the shadow of Mourinho.

It can be said that although the position of Inter Milan's head coach looks glamorous, it is actually an out-and-out pit.

Especially the first head coach after Mourinho left, there must be problems.

After all, the head coach accepts the Triple Crown lineup. If there is a small problem with SLR in all aspects, it will reduce the trust of fans and even players in the head coach, and then it will slowly become a big problem.

Benitez, he understands this?
He understands this and dares to come? !

Faced with Li Ze's questioning, Benitez looked very confident.

"Gerrard is also a world star."

No no no, that's not the case at all!

Li Ze complained in his heart.

Gerrard is a world superstar, there is nothing to complain about.

Although the captain of the Red Army did not perform very well as a team, his personal ability has always been widely praised.

Like the wolf king, he has world-class strength, but spent his career in a team that could not win honors. In the end, although he did not win many championships, he became a symbol of the city.

Lampard, who is as famous as Gerrard, does not have such a high status in Chelsea. This has nothing to do with Lampard's personal ability.

Benitez thinks he can control Gerrard, so he can control Inter Milan.

This is what made Li Ze complain.

In his mind, he seemed to think that his ability to regulate the locker room was excellent.

Li Ze knew that the most criticized part of this master tactician was his emotional intelligence.

He couldn't handle the relationship in the locker room well, so that his situation continued to decline after he left Liverpool, and he slowly left the ranks of first-line head coaches.

In fact, even when he went to Huachao and coached Newcastle United, Benitez's tactical ability was widely praised.

If he can't handle the relationship in the locker room well, he can stay in the first-line position for a long time.

As for Benitez's ability to handle Liverpool's dressing room well, that's not his credit either.

The bigger reason actually lies with Gerrard.

As the core, captain and youth training of Liverpool, Gerrard is actually a very obedient player in essence.

On the court, he has always had a bitter face. When he frowns, his whole face is as wrinkled as a bun.

When he wanted to leave Liverpool for Chelsea, he was frightened by fans burning jerseys, and then he chose to stay, and missed the opportunity to do business with Mourinho.

He wrote in his autobiography that he was unhappy because Ferguson had denied his ability, because the other party had praised him and wanted to introduce him to replace Keane. Gerrard also respected and hated Ferguson.

In the future, no matter how bad Liverpool's performance is, he will not make trouble, nor will he publicly attack his own players and coaches.

Watching Liverpool games in the future, seeing the comeback against Barcelona, ​​and after getting back 3 goals, he was so nervous that he dared not watch and left his seat.

Although that is the player's duty, as a player of his city's symbolic level, he can completely let his status override the head coach.

Comparing Totti's actions, we can really see that Gerrard is quite an honest person in character, and even feels a little weak.

It is quite unreasonable for such a weak person to stand up and turn the tide in 05.

At that time, Benitez's method of dealing with Gerrard was also very simple——

Take off his captain's armband and even try to sell him.

Gerrard, who felt he had been insulted, did not make trouble, but broke out with a transformed level of personal strength, leading Liverpool to the top of Europe.

Gerrard proved that he is worthy of the captain's armband, and also proved that his value cannot be measured by the transfer fee.

Benitez may not think so. He may think that he used his own method to arouse Gerrard's fighting spirit, so he has the best Gerrard.
