Chapter 742: Entry Point

"You still, Jurgen, very nice to meet you!"

In a luxurious suite at Dortmund's most luxurious Pullman hotel, Young welcomed the long-famous Klopp.

The first impression of this well-known German young marshal is, what the hell, why is he so tall?

After all, he was born as a professional player. Klopp's figure is not only tall, but also very strong, giving people a very powerful sense of power. Even Long Wu couldn't help walking towards Yang Huan when he saw it. A little closer.

Yang Huan was only stunned for a moment, but he soon let go.

In Germany, a body like Klopp's is probably very common!

This meeting, everyone was relatively low-key, so not many people participated.

Yang Huan has only himself, Kesh Harris who accompanied him, Marco Branca, the technical director who flew over from Milan, and Osirio, the football director.

It was even simpler on Klopp's side, he just came accompanied by his agent Marc Kosick.

This is also normal, after all, Klopp's most valuable resource is himself!

And almost as soon as he entered the door, Klopp stared at Yang Huan.

If it weren't for the witnesses of so many people present, he would have suspected that the young man in front of him was not a legendary local tyrant, but a rich second generation.

But this surprised him more, and also made him curious.

That is, why Yang Huan was able to manage Southampton and Atletico Madrid to such a high level in just a few years?

The living room of the luxury suite is not small, it can be used as a small conference room, so it doesn't feel crowded when everyone sits down as host and guest, but it's cloudy outside the window and there is not enough light, so the lights are turned on.

As soon as Yang Huan sat down, he looked at Klopp with great interest and smiled wryly.

"Jurgen, do you know? If our domestic fans see you like this, no one will recognize you!"

"Huh?" Klopp was a little surprised, and glanced at agent Kosik, who was also puzzled.

"Why?"

"In our China,

You can be called the number one coach in the Bundesliga, even compared to Guardiola, they gave you a very affectionate nickname, Uncle Scum! "

"Uncle Scum?" Klopp was a little surprised.

"Uncle with stubble all over his face!" Yang Huan explained with a smile.

When Klopp heard it, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his face. Where is the beard?

For the current meeting, after receiving the call, he immediately went home non-stop, took a shower, changed clothes and shaved, and even put on a suit and tie that he was not used to, and even somewhat disgusted, unexpectedly...

Damn it, if I knew I didn't have to shave, I kept it for a long time!

Yang Huan chuckled, judging from Klopp's move, it really showed his sincerity.

Moreover, he can feel that this is a very sincere and straightforward person who doesn't like to cheat.

If it was any other slick guy, he probably should have just put on a show at this time, but he didn't.

This made Yang Huan have a better impression of him.

Originally, the number one goal of Inter Milan's coach selection was Allegri, but the Italian coach was hesitant about the invitation from Inter Milan, and the Southampton technical team's evaluation of Allegri was not very good.

A very important reason is, can Allegri reorganize Inter Milan?

This is a question!

The current Inter Milan lineup has been configured, the key is reorganization and integration, which requires a strong head coach.

Judging from Allegri's coaching in Milan, he may not be able to transform successfully!

On the contrary, after the evaluation, Klopp was pushed to the forefront.

Today's Inter Milan is a bit like Dortmund back then, both were terrible, they were all overthrown and rebuilt, and Klopp did a pretty good job in Dortmund, and his tactics are also in line with the current mainstream of European football.

More importantly, this head coach has an amazing learning ability.

Head coaches, like people in other industries, need to constantly add value and keep pace with the times.

And this profession is different from other industries. It is difficult to say what is the level of coaching that is unclear, but it is generally believed that through competitions, learning the strengths and strengths of the opposing head coach, It is the most important nutrient source for self-improvement of all professional coaches.

This is why most coaches don't want to leave the front line for too long.

Judging from Klopp's past resume, his ability in this area is quite good.

In addition, Klopp is definitely good at players' psychological adjustment, motivation and cohesion of the team, and in Dortmund he coached, Kagawa Shinji, Gotze, Royce, Gundogan, Hummels, Outstanding stars such as Lewandowski and Sahin show that his ability to cultivate players is also quite good.

As for improving the system, data analysis, and long-term planning, the head coaches of the Bundesliga are quite good in this aspect. This is also a common feature of the Bundesliga, and Klopp is one of the best.

Otherwise, with Dortmund's level of sales in the past few years, it would have been over long ago!

From the current point of view, Klopp's biggest weakness is on the tactical level.

And Yang Huan also used this as an entry point.

After starting the conversation, Yang Huan took the initiative to talk about the entire football environment in Italy, and he did not deny that the Serie A league has lagged behind the Bundesliga to some extent and has fallen to the fourth place in Europe.

But Yang Huan instead regards this as an advantage in Serie A.

"Why did Guardiola give up the Premier League and choose the Bundesliga?"

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Although Bayern Munich is very kind, but it is undeniable that he believes that in the Bundesliga, where Bayern Munich dominates, many of his tactical ideas can be tried."

"To put it bluntly, with the strength of Bayern Munich, in the Bundesliga in the past few years, except for your Dortmund, no team can threaten their king status, and Guardiola is taking advantage of this. Treat the entire Bundesliga as his tactical testing ground!"

"This kind of condition is impossible in the Premier League and La Liga!"

Klopp heard such a method for the first time and found it very fresh, but he had to say that there was such a possibility.

Looking at Bayern Munich in the past few years, Van Gaal was a pioneer of reform, but he was too radical, which directly caused the entire team to be unable to keep up with his thinking and pace, and also offended many interest groups in the team.

After Heynckes took over, he handled it smarter and more tactfully. He was the kind who used a method of boiling frogs in warm water to quietly change the team, but this change did not Can bring substantial changes to the team.

Therefore, even if Heynckes won the Champions League, Bayern Munich has no intention of retaining it, because everyone knows that Heynckes has brought Bayern Munich's existing system to the extreme.

Even if he is left behind, so what? What breakthrough can he bring to Bayern Munich?

The answer is, impossible!

But Guardiola can!

Therefore, Bayern Munich chose Guardiola, and even allowed the latter to treat Bayern Munich as a white mouse in the laboratory, repeatedly conducting various tactical experiments.

It doesn't matter, does it?

No matter how you try, Bayern Munich is the Bundesliga champion!

"Bielsa once said that there are only two teams in the world that have achieved total defense, one is the Netherlands and the other is Germany."

After a pause, Yang Huan continued: "Times have changed, and the football world's understanding of Total Defense is constantly undergoing profound changes, but everything remains the same. Therefore, Guardiola is going to Germany. Understand the Germans' understanding of Total Defense!"

After hearing this, Klopp really felt that it was difficult for him to refute Yang Huan's words.

He even vaguely felt that this might be true.

Because Guardiola is such a person!

"Do you know? Last night I was sitting in the stands of the West **** Stadium. I watched your Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico Madrid match. Do you know what I saw?" After Yang Huan asked the question , smiled slightly.

Klopp's thinking has been completely led away by Yang Huan, and he asked: "What did you see?"

"detail!"

"Details?" Klopp was a little surprised.

"Simeone's handling of tactical details is better and more in place, which makes his tactics look very rich, and his countermeasures are just right. There are almost no obvious flaws that can be exploited. The team as a whole seems to be impeccable."

Klopp was taken aback for a moment, but was speechless.

Because he was in front of the coaching bench of the home team last night, and that was indeed the feeling.

He knows that it is impossible to have perfect tactics in this world, and it is impossible to have a team without loopholes, but the problem is that when he encounters Atletico Madrid, he has no way to start.

Therefore, I can only stand helplessly, helpless, and watch my team lose this crucial game.

"What Serie A is best at is creating a balanced tactical system and enriching tactical details. Therefore, the head coaches from Italy have quite rich tactical details, whether it is offense or defense."

"Simeone was born in Serie A. He has been immersed in the Italian tactical environment for many years, and he has long been fascinated. Therefore, in the past two seasons, the reason why Atletico Madrid has achieved success is that the team's signings are very targeted and the lineup is very strong. Powerful, but on the other hand, Simeone is constantly improving various details."

"It's not just him, like Benitez, he also went to Italy to study before he coached. Guardiola also has a resume in Italy. Mourinho's tactical quality has also been sublimated during his time at Inter Milan. .”

Having said that, Yang Huan chooses enough is enough.

Because the meaning has been clarified, he doesn't need to say any more.

In terms of league influence and team strength, neither Serie A nor Inter Milan have any advantages to attract Klopp.

Even, for a head coach like Klopp who is in a period of rapid rise, the best choice now is to find a stable and easy-to-achieve team to coach, and then establish his status as a famous European coach in one fell swoop.

But looking back at Inter Milan, this is obviously a dangerous challenge!

Therefore, Yang Huan did the opposite, putting aside all the salary and coaching environment.

He just mentioned one thing, long-term planning!

Unlike professional players, who can only be active for a decade or so at most, a head coach is a long-term job.

Klopp is only forty-six years old now. As long as his body allows and he is energetic, he can coach for another twenty years or even longer.

So, for the current Klopp, is it necessary to use tricks to establish his status as a famous European coach early?

Or is it more important to consider self-improvement first and improve one's coaching ability?

Different people often give different answers to such a question.

For example, Boas, his choice is to become famous as early as possible, so his wings hardened, and he immediately left Mourinho to fly solo.

But Yang Huan always felt that if Boas went solo a few years later, especially if he accompanied Mourinho to coach Real Madrid, it would be of great benefit to his future.

But everyone has his own choice, doesn't he?

It's just that I don't know what Klopp's choice will be?
