Volume 6 Chapter 7 Uncle Rock Scum

Last season was fantastic for Jurgen Klopp and Borussia Dortmund as they finally knocked Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to the ground in the league.

In his third year at Dortmund, Klopp led the team to Dortmund's 10-year Bundesliga title, and more importantly, with his arrival, Dortmund's finances were able to move towards a virtuous circle.

Look at Dort's group of people, you know Klopp's vision and the means of adjusting players, Gundogan, Perisic, Lewandowski, Grosskreuz, Götze, Bender, Shinji Kagawa, Subotic, Hummels, almost the entire Dortmund first team was promoted or bought after his arrival.

If you take a closer look at the squad that Dortmund came from before Klopp, you will find that in two years, he has completed a complete renewal of the first team from the beginning, which can be called a major change.

If you're a Liverpool fan, then you're probably more familiar with all this, because that's what happened in the previous life in the 2 years after he took charge of Liverpool, and the squad was revamped without spending a penny.

It is this group of people who created the glory of Dortmund during this period, and also raised Dortmund's economy, he cultivated people, Dortmund sold people, which is the survival of many Bundesliga teams except Bayern.

So it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that Klopp is Dortmund's godfather, after all, he hasn't stayed for long, and his grades are slightly inferior to Heathfield's time, but it's not an exaggeration to call him Dortmund's savior.

The "Hornet" he led was like a yellow storm, sweeping the Bundesliga last season, the hellish Wester's *****, passionate and wild style of play, and heavy metal singer-like sideline command style have shaped Dortmund in this period into a unique landscape in the Bundesliga.

"Arsenal are like a symphony orchestra, it's wonderful, but that's not my style of football, I prefer heavy metal, I'm not going to let the team have 80 per cent of the ball every game and then let all the spectators fall asleep", was his pre-match comment for the first Champions League group game against Arsenal.

"When it comes to football, I have more of an impression of English football, which is when it's raining, and everyone is naked and screaming in the mud, fighting fiercely, and when you finish a game, you're in a mess."

Since then, his nickname of "heavy metal football" has resounded across the European continent.

Mackin admires Jurgen Klopp very much, not only because he joined Liverpool in his previous life, but also because from a football point of view, Klopp's personality and coaching style make him like.

If placed in China, Klopp is a combination of a classical gentleman and a madman, who stubbornly adheres to his own ideas and never compromises easily, which may be a common problem for many Germans.

He's definitely a 'manager' at the top level, not just a manager, he goes to a club and changes every aspect of the whole club, even the culture.

If he can stay at a club for a long time, he will not be less successful than the likes of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, but as he said: I am an emotional person, I don't stay in a club for that long, and when it doesn't feel right, I will leave.

A lot of people are attracted to Klopp because of the football he brings, it's so sexy, the way he treats the players, the way he motivates, the way he manages, the way he treats winning and losing, and so on.

It will make you suddenly realize, I'm going, this is the football I want!

For the German, who has always been known for his rigor and rigidity, playing this crazy style of football is indeed very unusual, and he is more like the "madman" godfather inherited from Argentina, Bielsa.

Bielsa has influenced a lot of coaches, with Simeone, Pochettino and perhaps Jurgen Klopp also being part of the vast army.

"In my tactical dictionary, defending means losing." , which is probably Bielsa's most rooted philosophy in football.

He was an idealist through and through, and while the coaches who were influenced by him and worked in Europe could not have copied his philosophy exactly, his wild football was deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of the people.

Take Borussia Dortmund as you would often see when they attacked, sometimes as many as seven men rushed into the box, which is absolutely unthinkable in the dictionary of many coaches.

"The closer you are to the goal, the easier it is to score" is not just for basketball.

And the motto of these coaches is: Offense is the best defense, and if you are pressed by me and can only defend, you will not have the strength to attack my goal.

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are big fans of this kind of creed.

And the creed of Mourinho and many previous Italian coaches is: Come and attack, second goods, tired of you, I don't prepare Snickers, but ambush the sharp knife fast horse!

I can't say who is good and who is bad, there are eighteen palms of dragon descending in martial arts, and there are also iron cloth shirts, and even our ancestors have taken Tai Chi as a guide, not to mention the artifact of the Sunflower Treasure Book.

Just like the rivers and lakes, it is this kind of martial arts with different styles, ah no ......, football style, and the collision between them that makes the football world so colorful.

And Uncle Klopp brought his "rock philosophy" to Poseidon Square and Calderon.

……

In the first round of the group stage, Atletico Madrid defeated Olympiacos 1:0 away, but Dortmund was forced to draw 1:1 at home by Professor Wen's "I don't know how many generations" Zhengtai Group, and in terms of situation, Atletico Madrid had the advantage.

Then they have two home games in a row, this one against Borussia Dortmund and the next game against Arsenal, these two home games are games that they must try to win, because when they get to West***** and the Emirates Stadium, the opponent's home stadium, the situation will definitely be against them.

Rushing into the Champions League again completely made the sons of Poseidon in the southwest of Madrid burst out with the greatest enthusiasm, and the tickets were sold out early, not to mention that their opponent in this round was the Bundesliga champion last season!

The guy who claims to play the "sexiest" football in the entire Bundesliga.

And the fans of the Hornets are not far behind, if you go shopping these two days, it is very easy to meet fans wearing yellow jerseys and holding Dort scarves on the road.

After all, the West***** is the hottest home stadium in Europe and the world, even surpassing Anfield because of its larger capacity.

Their team anthem are all "YNA", and they will sing collectively at the beginning of the game, which is the kind of momentum that can only be experienced when you go to West***** or Anfield.

Dort and Atletico Madrid actually have a lot of similarities right now.

For example, they have been sinking for a long time before, but they all came back around 09, the difference is that Dortmund relies on Klopp, and Atletico Madrid relies on the invasion of Jinyuan.

For example, they are all youth teams, Atletico Madrid's average age is 24, Dort's is younger, only 22 years old, and their front core Götze is one year younger than Mackchen.

The main thing they have in common is that they are all doing well and playing well!

A good-looking team with good results is always easy to attract more fans and get more attention, so today's game will be a key match in this round of the Champions League.

"There's no doubt that Atletico Madrid are very strong and very rich, so they have been able to build a world-class squad in such a short period of time, and I think Carlo Ancelotti must worry every day about who to send on and who to substitute", said Jurgen Klopp to Sky Sports as soon as Dort arrived at the hotel in Madrid.

'Mark is the best world-class midfielder I've ever seen, their manager Carlo Ancelotti is also full of Champions League experience, I think that's going to be an advantage for them, and their players are very talented'

"But that's not going to be a reason for us to hold back, we haven't been in this competition for seven or eight years, including me, so we don't have anything to worry about, we just have to show our best self."

"Football is just a game of win, draw or loss......"

Jurgen Klopp is trying to de-pressure his players as much as possible, as they are not only experience-wise, but they also struggle with the depth of their bench to cope with multi-fronts, which is just a budding youth team.

"I'm not familiar with Jurgen Klopp yet", Carlo Ancelotti said in his pre-match interview, "but they were last year's Bundesliga champions and that alone is enough for us to play 120 per cent, Dortmund are good at attacking and very fast, we need to limit their space to run in Calderon......

It was early evening, and Calderón was already packed.

Although the red and white sheets dominated most of the stands, the bumblebees in the corner of the West Stand were still trying their best to make their voices heard.

"You'll Never Walk Alone".

Fans of both teams are looking forward to their team's first season in the Champions League after many years, and this is a natural big stage that will give people an adrenaline rush.

"......Boom", as the players of the two teams entered the field, the whole Calderón became even hotter, and the Atletico Madrid team song and the Hornets team song collided fiercely in the air, and then quickly pressed them down.

MMP, if there are few people, you will be bullied.

"Maika, can you imagine my excitement? You don't know I miss Mark," Peterson said to McManaman as he danced in the studio, "and it was hard to live all night without him"

"Haha, you'd better not let your wife hear this"

"No, I love Mark, but I love my wife......"

“……”

"Haha, well, I'm excited anyway", Peterson continued with a big laugh, "Today is one of the highlights of this round of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund"

"That's right", after the joke McManaman also turned to the topic, "Klopp made a name for himself last season, and I have never seen such a passionate manager on the sidelines, he brought a wild to Dortmund"

"It feels like a wild dead redemption, windy, wild, and gunfire," Peterson chimed in.

"And Atletico this season", continued Maica, "judging from the performances in the previous rounds, Ancelotti has completely achieved the lineup and style of play he wants, and he has shown his strength"

'Marc feels like I'm more advanced this season than last season because of Juan Mata's presence and his goals are proof of that, he is the top scorer in the Atletico team with six goals so far"

At this time, the starting lists of the two teams were also played in the live broadcast signal, and both teams used the 4231 formation, but the specific playing style will be different.

"Oh, we see that Atletico have three key players who have not been played, Silva and Sergio Aguero are said to have suffered minor injuries at Camp Nou, and their main right-back Juanfran seems to have suffered a muscle injury in training ......," said Pietersen, introducing the starting line-up on both sides.

"It's not a big problem, Atletico's bench is thick enough to solve this problem, well, the opening ceremony has been completed, the captains on both sides are ready to guess the coin, this big battle is about to start, and we hope that this game will give the fans a good ......performance", McCa replied.

The first meeting and handshake between Mackin and Klopp came as scheduled......
