Chapter 741 How Did You Mess Around?

readx; The weather on this day is surprisingly cold!

The dark clouds all over the sky seemed to be pressed down from the top of the head at any time, which made people feel depressed.

Blowing from the southwest, the monsoon wind from the English Channel is not strong, but it is very strong. Like a knife, it hits people's bodies and penetrates into clothes everywhere, making people feel chilly all over.

Jurgen Klopp was strolling on the streets of Dortmund. Passing the corner, the wind swept by and it was a bit cold. He couldn't help shivering. He quickly pressed the yellow Dortmund fan cap on his head and put his hands in the pockets of the sweater , keep going.

At this point in time, people in this city are either at work or still sleeping. In short, it is difficult to see people on the street.

Occasionally, a few passers-by were in a hurry, and no one recognized this sloppy middle-aged man as Dortmund's head coach.

But Klopp has a feeling that if someone recognizes him, he may be scolded.

Because just last night, Dortmund sat at their home court, but was beaten one to two by Atletico Madrid in the away game. This is obviously not an easy score for Dortmund.

But he and his players are already doing their best!

Sometimes, he really wants to yell at certain fans because they just don't make sense!

Yes, in the minds of some fans, there is no reason at all, only demands!

That is to win!

They would not have imagined that Dortmund's reaching the semi-finals was considered the limit when Dortmund sent away two generals Gotze and Reus in one summer, and the team suffered heavy losses.

They will not accept it even more. How can the team be required to continue to maintain the strength of the past few seasons in the league when the team is plagued by injuries and the players are dispirited?

The most important thing for Klopp's team is cohesion and trust!

But now, Gotze and Royce are gone, Lewandowski is also leaving, where is the cohesion at all?

A moment ago, Klopp swore that Royce would not leave, but the next second, the management officially announced that Royce had switched to the local tycoon team Tottenham Hotspur. How can there be any trust?

It's been a fucking season!

It will also be Klopp's last season in this city!

keep your head down,

Go forward step by step.

Pass the fragrant bakery, pass the closed coffee shop, and come to the crossroads.

Opposite is the largest sporting goods store in the center of Dortmund!

I still remember that when Klopp first coached the Hornets, the team was at a low point. In this shopping mall, the price of a Dortmund jersey dropped below 20 euros, and no one cared about it.

But in the past few seasons, or in this mall, the Hornets' jerseys and fan supplies have always been sold out, and the supply exceeds demand, even in the branch in Dusseldorf.

The owner of the mall once joked when he met Klopp that the citizens of Düsseldorf are more hungry for Dortmund jerseys and fan supplies than Apple's tablets.

This makes Klopp proud!

But now, all of this will be far away from him!

The league climbed up step by step from the relegation zone and returned to the mid-range, but for Dortmund who were still talking about winning the championship two years ago, the mid-range is already a bad result that is completely unacceptable.

Now, even the Champions League may be out.

Thinking of this, Klopp sighed heavily.

In his last season at Dortmund, there is likely to be nothing left!

Maybe even the fans who have supported him in the past few years have chosen to abandon him now.

Standing at the corner of the intersection, looking at the sporting goods store opposite which had not yet opened, Klopp couldn't help being a little dazed.

He didn't wake up until the phone rang.

When I took it out, it turned out to be my manager, Mark Kosick.

"Hey Mark!" Klopp answered the phone.

"You didn't go to Brackle this morning?" asked Mark Kosick.

Brakel is home to Dortmund's training base.

"No, the team is on holiday this morning and they have been under too much pressure recently," Klopp said.

"Well, are you free now?"

Klopp frowned strangely, "What's the matter?"

"Remember, what I mentioned to you before, Serie A Inter Milan once contacted me and asked if you would like to go to Serie A to coach?"

"Hmm!" Of course Klopp remembered that Inter Milan was the first person to invite him after he announced his resignation from Dortmund.

"Their boss came to Dortmund himself!"

"What?" Klopp was a little surprised.

It's just picking a coach, but let the boss do it himself?

Even though Klopp always felt that he was important, he was still a little surprised.

Because in front of the big boss, these coaches are nothing at all. When did you see the boss personally come forward to hire a head coach? It would be nice to be able to make a phone call and communicate a few words!

"The owner of Inter, who is also the owner of Atlético Madrid, was at the West Arena last night."

"oh!"

It was only then that Klopp suddenly realized.

But I still feel flattered, after all, the boss has come forward in person.

"How? See you?" Mark Kosick asked.

But soon, he added another sentence, "I think they are very sincere, and the conditions are quite good!"

The last sentence made Klopp a little tempted.

Although he has repeatedly spoken bluntly, and even faced provocations from Bayern Munich executives many times, he has repeatedly stated that he is happy to lead the Diaosi team to counterattack Gao Fushuai, but I ask, who doesn't want to have better coaching resources?

Just like now, if Dortmund has enough resources in all aspects, or does not need to be high, as long as it is not short of money in terms of finances, will Gotze and Royce leave?

In the past few years, the team that I have worked so hard to build and run in is always torn apart during the summer transfer, sending away core players such as Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, and Royce.

Ask yourself, no matter how good and outstanding Klopp is, he can't help poaching corners for so many years!

Mark Kosick on the other side of the phone felt the hesitation in Klopp's silence, "Jurgen, I know that your original plan was to rest and improve yourself, but I think this may be a chance."

"What do you mean?" Klopp asked again.

"Didn't you always want to visit Bielsa's training and communicate with Bielsa?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Then you should go see him even more, because the person who wants to see you is the boss of Southampton!"

"What?" Klopp was shocked immediately.

It has to be said that he is a very eccentric football guy.

It is no secret in the core circle of European professional football that Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and other teams have the same owner. As long as Klopp inquires a little, he will know. .

However, the head coach of Dortmund is simply a guy who throws himself into the team and keeps his ears shut!

"You mean, these teams are owned by the same owner?"

"Yes!" Mark Kosick on the other side of the phone should feel sweaty.

You don't even know this, what the hell are you doing in professional football?

"Southampton has always attached great importance to coaching and tactics. As you mentioned before, regularly inviting famous coaches to communicate is only one of them. As for Bielsa's tactical attainments, you also know that Guardiola and Simeone are both deeply involved. under his influence."

This is why Klopp is so eager to communicate with Bielsa and visit Southampton for training.

Guardiola is his sufferer in the Bundesliga this season, and Simeone just gave him a blow in the Champions League.

The apprentices are so outstanding, so the master's realm will be higher?

Moreover, Bielsak has always been like a legendary master of the world!

"That's right!" Mark Kosick suddenly thought of something.

"Inter Milan sent a piece of information before, and I put it in your home. Have you read it?"

As an agent, he knew very well that when Klopp went to see Yang Huan, he meant to apply for a job.

All those who have participated in the application know that they must first understand the position they are about to apply for and the background of the recruiting company.

Therefore, he had to remind.

"Look!" Klopp replied.

"Inter Milan's problems are very serious. Mazari has tried his best, but many things cannot be solved and done with his best efforts. However, I also feel that Inter Milan is also quite supportive of Mazari, but... ..."

Sometimes, the club and the coach are like a marriage. It doesn't mean that if they hit it off, they will be able to grow old together.

The key is that too many unpredictable things will happen.

Neither Mazzarri nor Inter Milan are insincere. This can be seen from the fact that the two parties have negotiated in advance. This season, it can be seen that they broke up peacefully.

It can only be said that Mazzarri is indeed not suitable for Inter Milan!

"Then what do you think?" Mark Kosick asked with concern.

Before negotiating, he must first find out the bargaining chips he holds, so that he has the capital to negotiate!

"With the current lineup and strength of Inter Milan, if they perform normally, there is no problem in the top three in the league, and their lineup is very young. In the long run, they have great potential for development."

After a pause, Klopp continued: "But the biggest problem with this team at present is the cohesion and lack of mutual trust, so no matter who is in charge of Inter Milan, they must face this big problem!"

The two elements of cohesion and trust cannot be established overnight.

But if it is destroyed, it is much easier.

This world is like this, construction is always more difficult than destruction!

"Are you sure?" Mark Kosick asked again.

Klopp obviously hesitated, thought for a while, "I don't know."

"have no idea?"

"If someone asked me, I would definitely say, there must be, but sometimes, if the head coach wants to achieve results, it is not enough to rely solely on the coaching staff and players, but also depends on the management and the business philosophy of the entire club. "

"you mean……"

"If Inter Milan just wants to stop in the top three of the league, like Naples and Roma, and guarantee the Champions League, then I have no interest in this team!"

When Klopp said this, he was very resolute and very sure.

With his reputation and status in European football today, he will certainly not allow himself to coach a team without ambitions.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Mark Kosick on the other side of the phone laughed.

"What's the matter?" Klopp was a little surprised.

"Nothing!" Mark Kosick was still laughing, "It's just that I remembered what Yang Huan once said when Inter Milan Football Director Branca called me."

"What?" Klopp asked with great interest.

The point is, Yang Huan is too mysterious in European football!

"He said that what Inter Milan is looking for is a head coach who can lead the Nerazzurri to the highest peak in history based on long-term development, not just for short-term success as in 2010, so this time , they are very cautious!"

Very cautious?

chose me?

Would you like the boss to come and talk in person?

On the cold streets of Dortmund, Klopp once again felt the warmth of being valued.
