Chapter Seventy-Eight: Guiding Public Opinion

During this period, Li Shuai also learned from his father Li Guofeng that Chen Ci violated the agreement with him, and sent out an exclusive interview with him before he got the opportunity to play.

For the statement, Li Shuai has already given him the choice, except for some disappointment, Li Shuai has no more feelings, just hope he doesn't regret it.

However, under curiosity, Li Shuai swiped the domestic news and saw that the comments were full of encouragement.

Li Shuai sighed that his own people are good to his own people, which makes him feel that there is no reason not to go all out, only in this way can he live up to the expectations of domestic fans.

As a result, the ridicule and ridicule of the German news media, the encouragement and expectation of domestic fans, and the positive and negative energy have all turned into the driving force for Li Shuai to move forward.

As a result, Li Shuai worked harder and harder than usual in the next training, actively showing his strength, in order to win Klopp's favor and get the opportunity to play.

On February 3, 2012, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund went to the Franconian Stadium to challenge Nuremberg away.

After the end of the previous round, the standings remained unchanged, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 in the top three with 40 points, while Borussia Mönchengladbach is fourth with 39 points.

Fifth-placed Werder Bremen has 31 points, a large gap from the top four, and cannot pose a threat to the title competition of the above four teams.

However, all four teams have a chance to win the title, and every point that comes from behind is not to be missed for Dortmund.

The team is now on a three-game winning streak, and in the last game against Hoffenheim, Perisic, who replaced Shinji Kagawa in the starting position, instigated a brilliant goal and performed remarkably.

In this game, Klopp had no intention of changing the starter, and Li Shuai sat on the bench again.

The final result also seemed to prove Klopp's decision right, with Borussia Dortmund winning 2-0 away at Nuremberg.

It is worth mentioning that substitute striker Barrios was replaced by Jurgen Klopp again and scored the second goal that sealed the victory.

The Paraguayans, who performed well last season, seem to be showing signs of recovery, making Li Shuai's hopes of getting a chance to play even more remote.

Such a result made the German news media even more frantically ridicule and ridicule Li Shuai, and Dortmund's die-hard fans also did not want to see Li Shuai.

The domestic media are no longer as optimistic about Li Shuai as before, and some news media have begun to report and exaggerate Li Shuai's bad situation in Germany.

Among these media, Xinglang Sports, which reported Li Shuai's exclusive interview at the beginning and promoted Li Shuai to the fullest, was the first to bear the brunt of the attack at the behest of a certain leader, revealing that Li Shuai's attitude when he was interviewed by them was quite arrogant.

When Li Shuai was watching the news, he was very dissatisfied with Xinglang Sports' undisciplined practice of deliberately smearing him to create contradictions and gain attention.

I've already given you a big piece of news, but aren't you satisfied?

This made Li Shuai more deeply understand that both foreign and domestic news media have a urine nature, and if there is no news, they must also create news.

However, fortunately, Li Shuai found that most fans in China were not deceived by public opinion, and still maintained expectations and encouragement for him, which made Li Shuai's heart warm.

February 7, 2012, German Cup quarterfinals.

The German Cup is an event that is not very important for a team like Dortmund that aims to compete for the title, and most teams regard this event as a stage for training and examining substitute teams.

As a result, this game made domestic fans look forward to it, and everyone thought that Li Shuai had a great chance to play in this game.

As a result, Li Shuai was placed on the bench again, but despite this, the fans who were paying attention to Li Shuai in China were still comforted in their hearts, and they did not start, and it was okay to come off the bench.

However, domestic fans were disappointed again.

The team won 4-0, and domestic fans still did not see Li Shuai play, and Li Shuai was still sitting alone on the bench.

After the game, when journalists from the news media asked Klopp what he thought of Li Shuai, Klopp replied: "I know 'Lee' is a player with a lot of potential, but now he needs to wait for the right opportunity, I will arrange for him to play." ”

Klopp just said what he thought in his heart according to the truth, but in the eyes of these reporters, it was just Klopp's "official voice".

Klopp has thought about letting Li Shuai play, but he doesn't want to put too much pressure on Li Shuai, he thinks that at this juncture, arranging Li Shuai to play, Li Shuai will not only be booed by his own fans, but also suffer from unprecedented public opinion pressure.

As long as he can't perform well, Li Shuai, a talented young man, is likely to be ruined by public opinion like this.

Such examples are not uncommon in the world of football.

Another point is that Klopp's one-sided understanding of the Chinese believes that the psychological tolerance of the Chinese is generally weak.

As the head coach of the team, he wants to wait until the media attention is weakened, and the die-hard fans of Dortmund will find a suitable opportunity to arrange Li Shuai to play after they have calmed down.

Li Shuai didn't know what Klopp was thinking, and it was impossible for the news media to know, and the domestic fans naturally couldn't know about it.

In three consecutive games, even in a chicken rib event like the German Cup, Li Shuai did not get even a minute of play.

The German news media naturally did not have good words about Li Shuai, a Chinese, and even ridiculed Li Shuai for not being worthy of sitting on the bench in Dortmund.

Even the major domestic news media, social networks, and Tieba forums ...... have begun to question Li Shuai's strength, they don't care what the person has experienced, whether his mood is good or bad, and what impact it will have on him.

So, not long ago, Li Shuai was still the light of the country, the future of the national football team, and in less than half a month, Li Shuai became the object of their fall.

Under the guidance of public opinion, domestic fans have gradually divided into two factions.

The faction still has confidence in Li Shuai, believing that as long as Li Shuai remains patient, he will definitely be able to get a chance.

The other faction began to ridicule Li Shuai as a "water cooler administrator" and "team mascot", and some fans ridiculed that Li Shuai is Dortmund's face in charge, the players on the field are responsible for playing football, and he is on the bench for Dortmund's domestic fans.

What's more, he shouted, Li Shuai has embarrassed the Chinese people, and if he doesn't play well, don't lose the face of our countrymen outside, and the shame will be thrown abroad, which is simply a shame.

Others said that Li Shuai may really be what the German media said, he has no strength and is still an arrogant guy.

What scored two goals and provided four assists for Manchester United's development team, there is no evidence anyway, he doesn't want to say what he wants, he can say whatever he wants, it's really a shame to have such a compatriot.

…………

Fortunately, the latter is still only a minority, and most domestic fans are still quite sensible, which makes Li Shuai feel relieved at the same time, but also feel a little at a loss about his future in Dortmund.

Li Shuai has great confidence in his own strength, but the coach just doesn't need you, he has no strength, and there is nowhere to show it, this is the problem that Li Shuai is facing now, and it is an unsolvable problem.

I don't know if it's right or wrong for this lease, is it because I'm thinking too simply?
