Chapter 183 Klopp's Motivation
This season's Paradigm Bayern has allowed fans to see the hope of Bayern's revival. The league championship is the foundation for Bayern, and it is also the road to revival. Of course, it would be better if there is a breakthrough in the Champions League. Once qualified, the first opponent in the knockout round was not strong, and it was Fiorentina from Serie A.
Speaking of the European war, Dortmund will also usher in the Europa League knockout round. Although the opponent they draw is not stronger than Fiorentina, but at the level of the Europa League, it is considered a poor draw, from the Toffee Everton of the Premier League.
This is the first team from the five major leagues other than the Bundesliga that Zize has encountered since he came to Europe. It is still from the Premier League, which currently ranks first in the European League. This is a big challenge.
The Dortmund dressing room after the defeat.
The atmosphere was very depressing, no one spoke in the locker room, and only when they went into the bathroom to take a shower, did the players gather together in twos and threes to chat in low voices.
After taking a shower, Klopp and Buvac were already waiting in the locker room.
"Hey, welcome back, bad game, wasn't it?"
The players were all ready to be reprimanded by Klopp, but Klopp who greeted them didn't seem to be roaring like he was on the field outside, but took off his hat and sat there with a relaxed face .
"Boss, I'm sorry, we messed up this game." Kyle stepped forward and said.
Klopp waved his hand: "I won't say that I don't care. In fact, I care about this game more than you, but...you know, I'm from Mainz."
"That's not a strong team." Klopp picked up the hat on his side and played with it. He didn't look angry. It should be said that he was indeed not angry. Instead, he smiled and mentioned the past.
"I love Mainz, but I'll be honest, taking over Mainz at that time was the craziest decision I've ever made, well, the next day I felt it might be the craziest decision I've ever made. Bad decision, we lost a lot of games, much worse than that, we were almost relegated to the regional league, the same game you guys played when you were young, and I was going to play with the senior team."
"If you really went to the regional league, maybe you wouldn't see Jurgen Klopp today, maybe Klopp would be wearing a bad baseball cap, with a scruffy beard, sitting on the broken lawn and commanding. Watching the kids play football, of course, I don't hate that lifestyle."
"But in this way, I can't find where I really belong. With those unforgettable defeats, I feel how correct the decision is today. We beat Bayern and lost now. This is far from the end of the world. , look at the standings, we are still number one in the league, only those damn media think we are doomed!"
Klopp's speech gradually aroused the lonely atmosphere in the locker room.
"Are we going to be relegated? Have we lost five games in a row? No, you haven't even experienced it, but I have, I know what it feels like, it's nothing compared to this!"
"Those crazy media think that we must beat Bayern and win the championship. I admit, they are right! But now we lose, then the media thinks that we must lose to Bayern and cannot win the championship! This is too Ridiculous!"
"Dortmund will always be Dortmund, whether it's Bayern, or Schalke 04, or whoever, of course they can beat Dortmund, but Dortmund will come back!"
"Dortmund will not give up!"
This time it was Gross Klopp who responded to Klopp. The Dortmund diehard seems to be very satisfied with Klopp's speech.
"That's right, just like what Kevin did on the field, you can't completely restrict your opponent, but you can always cause trouble to your opponent through your efforts." Klopp nodded: "Kevin, are you doing well?" Familiar positions can be tough, but you've done well."
"No, no, as long as I can play in a Dortmund jersey, I won't find it difficult!"
Gross Klotz's words made everyone laugh, and the shadow of this fiasco seemed to have dissipated more than half in the locker room. At the press conference shortly afterwards, Dortmund captain Kyle criticized the performance of the game, but he At the same time, he said that Dortmund will come back.
The loss in the last game had a great impact on Qi Ce.
Of course, Klopp's speech in the locker room played a role, and his mental state is not that bad, but the shocking feeling in his mind is hard to erase.
Of course, Qi Ce knew the reason very well. This was because Qi Ce exhausted everything he could use to fight this game, but in the end he still lost without any power to fight back.
Maybe the timing of using the plug-in at the last moment was not very good. At that time, the team played very passively. They couldn’t get the ball. Without going north, it is difficult for players on the field not to be overwhelmed by this situation.
Of course Qi Ce's mentality is considered good, but in the end it failed to help the team come back, not even scoring a single goal.
Mentality is one thing, but it is also true that Bayern has kept the same policy.
But fortunately, he is not the kind of person who would struggle with such things. It is over when it is over, and he will focus on the next game soon, but before that, there will be a chance to breathe. In February, the national team will play The day is coming.
It's just that this is not a chance for Zitzer to take a breather. He glanced at his schedule and saw that he was very busy.
Many Dortmund players have been recruited by the national team, and Zize is also on this list, but unlike most of the players who are European internationals, Zize will participate in the East Asian semi-finals this time. The schedule is longer, which will affect Borussia Dortmund vs Hannover 96.
But Klopp understands this.
Although the current situation in the standings is very anxious, Bayern Munich has followed Dortmund closely by only one point, but facing Hannover 96, Klopp feels that he is still quite sure.
After all, in the first round of the league clash, Dortmund still defeated Hannover 96 2-0 in the AWD Arena even though Zize was absent from the World Youth Championship. Klopp is of course sure to win once when he returns to the home court this time.
"Qi Jun, you are going to compete in Tokyo this time!"
The day before he left, Kagawa Shinji came to find Qi Ce suddenly.
"Um yes, what's the matter?"
This time, the East Asian Final Four is hosted by Japan, and the venue is Tokyo. However, Shinji Kagawa has not been recruited by the Japanese national team. To play in the East Asian Cup, Japan generally does not recruit European players. The East Asian Cup Japan will send local league players. , including South Korea, the slight exception is that South Korea will also recruit Korean players who play in the Japanese league.
There are very few Japanese players playing in the Korean league, so Japan generally only recruits local players.
There are many reasons why these two countries only recruit local players.
It can be said that the East Asian Final Four is not a very important game. Japan and South Korea are all focused on the Asian Cup and the World Cup, and they will not recruit main players for the East Asian Final Four.
The other is the confidence of Japanese and Korean football.
Even if all local or Asian league players are recruited, Japan and South Korea are still the top level of Asian football.
"Of course, of course I am introducing you to interesting places!" Kagawa Shinji was a little proud: "When you go to Tokyo, you have to go to Kabukicho! In Shinjuku, there is a good place! I have been to Dotonbori in Osaka, but Shinjuku It’s much better than there!”
Qi Ce looked at him helplessly: "I'm going to the competition!"
"It's not a conflict! You'll know it once you've been there, it will definitely be unforgettable! I'm not boasting, the service there is definitely very professional and legal, not only the technology and service are in place, you can even issue invoices! It's all regular!"
As he said that, Shinji Kagawa took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to Qi Ce: "Here, this is the contact information of the person involved in the case. He is very professional and can speak Chinese. Oh, the person involved in the case is the so-called guide. An introducer is an intermediary, anyway, you understand."
Zize immediately realized, oh, it was a pimp.
"Okay, your Japanese law is 20 years old, according to your law, I am not yet an adult."
"Ah..." Kagawa Shinji showed a very regretful look: "I didn't expect this... But, it will be useful one day, so keep it, Qi Jun."
If there is time to go to that place, there will be ghosts... Thinking so, Qi Ce stuffed his business card into his pocket.
