Chapter 385: Heathfield's Scheme
Some people may think that Klose's decision is a little unwise. Because now all discerning people can see that as long as George is still the owner of this club, then Tottenham will be the strongest contenders for the trophy in any competition. In other words, if Klose chooses to stay at Tottenham, the number of accolades he can receive is likely to be the highest among active German players. Even Barak and Ram are hardly comparable to him in this regard!
That's true, but don't forget, Klose is now twenty-seven years old. For a professional footballer, this age means that there are only a few years left in his prime. Under such circumstances, it is only natural that Klose would make such a decision - he wants people to face up to his quality, become the protagonist on the pitch, and leave his mark on the history of football, rather than being treated as a green leaf and an accessory to the Tottenham dynasty when people talk about it!
In George's previous life, he was able to surpass Gerd Müller to become the all-time top scorer of the German national team, and from a top-heavy abusive player to the first person in the all-time scoring list of the World Cup, Klose's low-key style and calm appearance hide an extremely strong enterprising spirit. Because if the German is really the kind of player who wants nothing, then he simply can't reach that height!
On top of that, he was born in the same year as Didier Drogba. That said, if Klose chooses to stay at Tottenham, there is a good chance that he will live forever in the shadow of the Ivorian monster. Such a future is absolutely unbearable for Klose who wants to make a career!
So, after realising that George is more serious about the latter between him and Drogba, the fledgling Klose made the decision to leave Tottenham next summer!
I have to say that the timing chosen by Klose is really full of wisdom. On the one hand, he is now a step forward from when he joined Tottenham a year ago, and his individual abilities have become more comprehensive, and the next season will be enough time for him to put what he has learned to good use, and on the other hand, Tottenham will definitely not be willing to let go of his most ferocious striker in the team last season after losing Villa in the summer! (Note: Of Tottenham's top three strikers last season, Villa scored 25 goals in all competitions, with Didier Drogba scoring 26 and Klose the most with 28.) )
Therefore, in Klose's eyes, instead of rashly seeking a transfer at this time, and finally ending up with a result of tearing his face with Tottenham, it is better to make it clear with George first, delay the departure for a season, and wait until the transfer window opens next summer to deal with the departure!
In this way, Klose can not only maximize the benefits he can obtain, but also leave enough time for the team to find his own stand-in, and at the same time earn a good reputation for himself while forming a good relationship with his old club, which is really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone!
This kind of Klose does not know how high it is compared to those "stars" who forget everything as soon as they see a high salary, and even do not hesitate to turn their faces with the parent team that has worked hard to cultivate themselves into talents!
Of course, Klose's decision is also inextricably linked to his rise in status in the national team and the solidification of his main position - with his outstanding performance in the Confederations Cup, Klose finally impressed the stubborn Klinsmann and replaced Kuranyi as Germany's first choice in the central striker position. With the main position of the national team basically worry-free, Klose can naturally continue to play at Tottenham with confidence!
Klose's mind is here for now, and now let's get down to business. After announcing the starting line-up, George highlighted the points to be aware of in the game to the players, and then led out of the visiting dressing room to prepare for the upcoming big talk!
In this way, when the players of both sides stepped onto the pitch and took their positions in their respective halves, with the whistle of referee Merck, the much-anticipated battle officially kicked off at the Bernabeu Stadium!
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid, who had won the right to kick off, took the lead in attacking. Ronaldo and Robinho were like two razor-sharp knives that went straight into Tottenham's penalty area. Behind them, Baptista quickly distributed the ball to the inserted Robert Carlos, announcing that Real Madrid's first attack of the game would be from the left!
Obviously, in the face of Tottenham Hotspur, Heathfield did not become conservative and cautious because the opponent had Robben and Ronaldo, the two major defensive weapons, but insisted on the offensive football style of play and was ready to win this game with attack!
In fact, Heathfield had no choice but to do so. It's not that he didn't know how sharp Tottenham's defensive counter-attack was, and it was indeed a very risky decision to let the team attack aggressively from the start. But the German coach also knows very well in his heart that if Real Madrid is not allowed to play to its strengths and weaknesses and maximize the powerful power of the Galaxy Battleship on the offensive end, then what awaits Real Madrid will only be the only result of a home defeat!
Most people only noticed Tottenham's strong counter-attacking speed, believing that the main reason why this team was able to win the Big Ears Cup last season was because most of the big teams did not pay enough attention to it, allowing Tottenham to play to their advantages in quick counter-attacks. However, as a two-time Champions League winner, Heathfield has a different opinion!
"Tottenham's strongest thing is the efficiency of attacking and defending, not just a simple defensive counterattack!" Looking at the Tottenham players who were not in a hurry to organize the defense in their own half, the expression on Heathfield's face was extremely serious, "Whether it is from defense to attack or from attack to defense, Tottenham can quickly complete the free switch between the two modes, and concentrate on the opponent's weak points to strike, which is the most terrifying thing about them!"
That's why Heathfield developed such a risky game strategy. Because he knows that if Real Madrid, who are in the process of rebuilding, can beat Tottenham, which has become a champion team, he must hope that these veterans and superstars in the team can perform well in the game. And if you want this plan to be implemented smoothly, then at the beginning of the game, when the players are still physically fit, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity!
