Chapter 139 Farewell to Barcelona
The 2013 winter transfer window was not busy for Dortmund. Klopp believed that the team's lineup was generally very good and did not require any major changes, just some fine-tuning.
They sold midfielder Perisic to Wolfsburg for 7.5 million euros. The Croatian midfielder later became the top transfer bidder in this year's Bundesliga winter transfer window. Sold Chris Levy to Kaiserslautern for half a million euros.
Then he promoted the young player Harry Stenberg, who performed well in Dortmund's second team, to the first team.
The most eye-catching move was that Dortmund and Real Madrid announced that Shaheen was loaned back to Dortmund by Real Madrid.
This loan also meant that Shaheen's transfer to Real Madrid failed completely.
When Shaheen left, he was the core of Dortmund. However, after going to Real Madrid, he couldn't even play in the game, his form plummeted, and his value also plummeted. His experience also proved once again that wealthy families are not so easy to mess around with.
And now that he returns to Dortmund on loan, he can no longer be the core. Because the current core of Dortmund is Zhou Yi, his position is unbreakable.
Not to mention the current Shaheen, who has been in Real Madrid for two years and has lost his form. Even the Shaheen before moving to Real Madrid cannot snatch the core position from Zhou Yi.
In fact, Klopp wants to rent Shaheen back, out of some personal emotions, mainly because he hopes to supplement Zhou Yi. He also couldn't bear to see the players who left Dortmund reduced to the current situation. They couldn't play in the games when they went to Real Madrid, and they couldn't find their form when they were loaned to Liverpool. After all, he is a talented young man trained by Dortmund. Klopp hopes that returning to a place he is familiar with can help him regain his form.
In addition, Shaheen is a defensive midfielder who focuses on organizing offense. He can play a very good supporting role for Zhou Yi. In the next half season, Dortmund will fight on both fronts in the Champions League and the domestic league. He will definitely continue to use rotation, and rotation has high requirements on the thickness of the bench. Shaheen's return will help increase the thickness of the bench. , which can slightly reduce Zhouyi's burden.
Dortmund's transfer action is very small, and as their direct competitor Bayern Munich, it can simply be described as "no action".
They just loaned goalkeeper Wiese to Kaiserslautern without any introduction. But they still made a big news during the winter break, that is, they announced six months in advance that they had signed the famous Spanish head coach Guardiola, who is currently unemployed at home. The creator of Barcelona's dream third team will end this season. After that, he coached Bayern Munich, replacing current coach Heynckes.
After this news came out,
It caused quite a stir in Germany. Judging from this coaching change decision, Bayern Munich is unhappy with being suppressed by Dortmund for two consecutive years. They believe that Heynckes is not capable of leading Bayern Munich to a comeback, so they must rely on the best coach in the world, Guardiola. ability.
However, announcing this decision so early in advance still made some people feel resentful for Heynckes - Bayern led by Heynckes is still first in the league and just won the half-way championship, but the results are actually not bad. However, the Bayern Munich club officially announced its decision to change the coach half a year in advance. Is it a little disrespectful to the old coach Heynckes? In addition, after this decision is announced, will it affect Bayern Munich's military morale? Do some players have distracting thoughts, wondering whether their technical and tactical characteristics are suitable for the new head coach, and are they thinking about leaving in the remaining half of the season?
But regardless of any criticism from the outside world, Bayern Munich's decision to change coaches has been made. Heynckes only has the last half of the season left in his coaching career at Bayern Munich.
Everyone also understands why Bayern Munich did not introduce any players during the winter transfer period. It is obviously because they have to take into account the requirements of future head coach Guardiola. Transfer signings must be carried out in accordance with Guardiola's requirements. If the players introduced now None of it was requested by Guardiola. Isn't that a waste of money?

Yang Muge's Schalke 04 was very active in the winter transfer window. They introduced many players, but they didn't spend much money, which was in line with their budget-conscious business strategy. Because the team has reached the Champions League knockout rounds and their performance in the domestic league is mediocre, they naturally need to rely on the winter transfer window to make up for their losses.
Max Meyer was transferred to the first team from Schalke U19, Bastos was loaned from Lyon, Raphael was loaned from Dynamo Kiev, and he was promoted from Schalke 04 second team. Ringenberg and Edu, whose loan to Fürth expired, returned to the team.
In terms of transferring players, they loaned Escudero to Getafe Club in Spain and sold Holtby to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League for 1.75 million euros.

For Chinese fans, the Bundesliga's winter transfer window is actually nothing to pay attention to. In this January, a player movement event occurred that made them very concerned.
On January 11, FC Barcelona announced that they had reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1. The team's young player He Ying would join the Ligue 1 giants on loan until the end of the season. And after the end of the season, Paris Saint-Germain has the right of first refusal.
What does this news mean?
This means that He Ying's career in Barcelona's first team has come to an end for the time being. Looking back on his half season in Barcelona's first team, it can only be described as "a complete failure". He has zero playing time in the first team, and he has no record of any appearances in the league, Champions League or Copa del Rey.
After the news was confirmed, there was a wave of discussion in the country - why was the golden boot scorer in the Olympic football match unable to play in Barcelona? Is Barcelona discriminating against Chinese players, or is He Ying's level not worthy of Barcelona's first team?
Some people think that He Ying really succeeds in the Olympics and loses in the Olympics. His outstanding performance in the Olympics strengthened the confidence of Barcelona's first team to take him back. However, after participating in the Olympics, he devoted himself to training and competition without rest. His physical condition could not quickly meet Barcelona's requirements. In addition, he also lost The opportunity to train with the Barcelona first team in pre-season led to a lack of tacit understanding between him and the team. These are the reasons why Barcelona coach Vilanova does not trust him.
Some people also think that He Ying's failure in Barcelona is due to his personal personality - among the five little dragons, Zhou Yi and Sun Pan have the most cheerful personalities, and their overseas careers also went the smoothest. They were the first players among the five to play professional games. Currently, The ones that develop are also the best. Although the personalities of Yang Muge and Guo Nudi are not as good as those of Zhou Yi and Sun Pan, their teams are not very strong and not wealthy, and young people are more likely to get opportunities. However, He Ying, a person with a low-key and silent personality, how could he easily get a chance to play in a wealthy club like Barcelona where talents and superstars gather? It would be a huge mistake for someone like him to choose Barcelona.
But no matter what the reason was, He Ying's failure in Barcelona still poured cold water on many Chinese fans. It was not just He Ying's Barcelona dream that was shattered, but also the dream of a wealthy club among Chinese fans. They have always hoped that a Chinese player can play games for a wealthy club and gain a firm foothold. But now that He Ying has failed, the next Chinese player who can appear in a wealthy club will have to wait until who knows when...
Although Zhou Yi and Sun Pan have established a firm foothold in Dortmund and Atletico Madrid respectively, in the eyes of Chinese fans, these two teams are not really giants. In fact, Dortmund is also one of the founding clubs of G14...
After Paris Saint-Germain announced that they had signed He Ying on loan from Barcelona, Zhou Yi posted a Weibo on the domestic Internet: "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds are shining in the daytime, and the north wind is blowing and the snow is falling; don't worry, there are no friends in the world. I don’t know you.”
He quoted part of "Farewell to Dongda" by Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi to express his attitude towards He Ying's loan to Paris Saint-Germain. A reporter came to interview him and wanted to let him talk about his views on this matter. , he directly asked people to read his poems on Weibo. This was all he had to say.
Different from Zhou Yi, Sun Pan's Weibo is much simpler and cruder, but it is also in line with his character setting. He said this: "It's okay, I don't leave you here, I have my own place to stay!" "Then x-on:looked at He Ying.
The language styles of the two people on Weibo are really in sharp contrast...
Zhou Yi's Weibo was sent to the media and the public. What he said to He Ying in private was not as literary as what he posted on Weibo, but was similar to what Sun Pan said.
"It's good to go to Paris Saint-Germain. After all, it's a team that has entered the top 16 of the Champions League. And you are in Barcelona. Although you were signed up to join the Champions League registration list, you have not played a minute of Champions League games for Barcelona. So you have a chance to represent Paris in the Champions League." Zhou Yi said to He Ying in the group of people excluding Lao Guo. "When you meet Barcelona in the Champions League, it will be your opportunity. You must seize it! Use goals and wins to prove to Barcelona what a huge mistake they made in giving up on you! Then when the loan period ends, Barcelona I beg you to go back the same way I beg you!"
"Yes, kill Barcelona!" Sun Pan, as a player with dual pedigree of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, naturally has a bad attitude towards Barcelona.
"Panpan, why are you messing around?" Zhou Yi reacted strangely to Sun Pan.
"Damn, is this a meddling? Can't I stand up for He Ying?" Sun Pan said angrily.
"If you want to help He Ying so much, then when it comes to the Champions League quarter-finals, will you let He Ying go? How about letting him score a hat trick?" Zhou Yi said.
"What does it have to do with me..."
"Because Paris Saint-Germain's opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is your Atletico Madrid, Panpan." Zhou Yi sent a smirk.
"...Fuck!" Sun Pan also remembered, and he quickly said to He Ying, "Then I will avenge this revenge for you. He Ying, you can go and play in the French Ligue 1 with peace of mind!"
"Panpan face, June Tian, I can turn over this face faster than I can read a book..." Zhou Yi curled his lips and made a contemptuous expression.
He Ying was very touched by the care given by his friends. He also said that it didn’t matter whether it was the Champions League or the league. No matter what the game was, as long as he had the opportunity to play, he would work hard and strive to regain his form at Paris Saint-Germain and make a name for himself. Come.
As for what to do next, let’s wait until later. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
