Chapter 37 If I, Scolari, say you can do it, then you can do it!
Speaking of Scolari, Su Yu's earliest impression of him was not the 02 World Cup victory, but rather the time when this old man came to China to coach Guangzhou Evergrande and led them to win the AFC Champions League again after Lippi!
I recall a magazine summarizing Scolari as a very strict and stubborn old man on the field, but I heard that he had a good relationship with the Evergrande players in private, and they often dined and had fun together.
Su Yu initially thought these were just stories made up by tabloid reporters to create a sensation. After all, he was a World Cup-winning coach who came to China purely to make money. Why would he maintain a good relationship with players of this caliber in China? Being aloof and superior was the norm for him.
but......
Looking at the old man in front of him who was smiling, opening the door himself, and even cracking a joke.
Su Yu now believed it; it turned out those newspapers were right.
This old man is indeed a very easy person to get along with in private.
"Come in and have a seat!"
"Wilkins, get Jennifer two cups of coffee!"
While gesturing for Su Yu to sit down, Scolari gave instructions to Wilkins.
"Thank you, Mr. Scolari!"
"You're a Chelsea player now, so stop calling me 'Mr.' Just call me 'Boss,' like everyone else!"
"Yes, Boss!"
"Don't be nervous, Sue! This is just a very simple conversation!"
Seeing that Su Yu hadn't quite adjusted yet, Scolari comforted him.
"Su! Wilkins should have told you earlier, but we watched your Olympic game videos all night last night. Honestly, kid, your talent definitely isn't in goalkeeping. Midfield is where you belong! Wilkins and I have already discussed it; at Chelsea, you can just play midfield! What do you think?"
Scolari is not one to beat around the bush.
Having discovered such a treasure, Scolari naturally didn't intend to waste such a talent like Barcelona did. As soon as he opened his mouth, Scolari revealed the purpose of his call to Su Yu.
Oh shit....
This old man really knows his stuff!
Hearing that Scolari had so directly and decisively asked him to move to midfield, Su Yu couldn't help but give Scolari a thumbs up.
Harvey template!
Moreover, it's a top-tier template that comes with Harvey's complete awareness, vision, and teamwork!
If this player doesn't play midfield, what does he play?
Of course, just like when he spoke with Yin Tiesheng before, Su Yu still showed some lack of confidence and replied, "Boss, although I played reasonably well in the few games I played as a midfielder in the Olympics, now..."
As a coach, one who has definitively determined that he has struck gold.
What could be more delightful than becoming a true mentor and guide?
Like Lao Yin, upon hearing Su Yu's clearly worried reply, Scolari revealed his... seemingly kind smile.
"Su, you know, I've coached Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Cristiano Ronaldo... You have to trust my judgment—Luis Felipe Scolari's eye for talent. If I say you can do it, you definitely can!"
"Thank you, S...BOSS!"
A kind smile met Su Yu's sincere and grateful eyes!
How should I put it!
The relationships between people are sometimes just that subtle.
Some people may eat, drink, and relieve themselves together, but they may never become friends, and may even become enemies.
But... some people, with just a simple word, a glance, or even a gesture, can quickly become friends from strangers.
At this moment, Su Yu and Scolari had only met for less than five minutes.
However, after just five minutes of conversation and time together, Scolari had unknowingly labeled Su Yu, the young man who had just reported to Chelsea, as one of his own.
yes....
Chelsea's dressing room is now extremely complicated.
Even now, Scolari still hears from those veterans saying things like, "When José was here, we did this and that," and "José said this and that..."
José.
Yes, he did infuse this Blue team with a fierce spirit, but that's all in the past!
The current Chelsea team is the Chelsea team that Scolari coached.
It's his world champion coach, the Blue Team!
He didn't want to hear Jose's name again at his Chelsea, nor did he want to see his carefully laid-out tactics unconsciously transform into the shadow of the previous player.
Therefore, he bought Deco, whom he relied on most during his time with the Portuguese national team, from Barcelona.
He wants to transform Chelsea, to turn Chelsea into a Chelsea bearing his own mark, a completely new Chelsea with Deco at its core.
As for this young man who just reported for duty, although he is not yet a name in Chelsea's midfield, which is full of talent, at least... at least this kid was bought by me, Scolari, and was discovered by me, Scolari, and was converted to play midfield.
If this kid is willing to work hard, we can give him a chance. Besides, what if he can seize the opportunity...?
.....................................
After instructing Su Yu to begin training as a midfielder immediately, Scolari asked Su Yu some questions about his life.
After talking for about ten minutes, Su Yu left Scolari's room.
"Su! Gangsas and the others are still eating, why don't you come with me!"
Wilkins was waiting for Su Yu at the door.
Seeing Su Yu come out, Wilkins led Su Yu to Gangsas, who was enjoying a hearty meal.
"Hey! How did it go? Did the talks go well?"
As soon as he saw Su Yu return, Gangsas immediately put down his fork and came over.
Although Gangsas ate with great relish, his heart was always with Su Yu!
"It's alright! The boss has me start training as a midfielder..."
Since it was well past lunchtime, the restaurant was empty except for House and Wilkins, who was with him. Without any worries, Su Yu revealed this information to Gonzas.
"Haha, Suarez! See? I told you you'd succeed! You were born to play midfield! Now look, wasn't González's judgment correct? Scolari agrees with me!"
When Su Yu said that Scolari really wanted to switch Su Yu to midfield, González was genuinely happy for Su Yu.
"Come on, sit down and eat! Chelsea's steaks are really good, and they even have Wagyu beef flown in from Japan. I've already had three plates. To celebrate your successful move to midfield, I've decided to have two more!"
"Hey! Gonzas, tell me the truth, are you celebrating or...?"
"Ahem, Su! Am I the kind of person who's greedy for small gains? Am I?"
"Um...isn't it...? Okay then, Mr. Wilkins, could you also give me two portions?"
Standing aside, watching Su Yu and Gangsas, who should have been bound by mutual interests, get along so well.
Wilkins smiled and shook his head.
"Eat with confidence. I can't speak for everything else, but Chelsea's restaurant is absolutely the best in the entire Premier League, bar none!"
