Chapter 273: The Anxiety of Winning
Thinking about this, Lin Yi rarely laughed heartily after winning the game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He smiled and walked with his team-mates to the mixed area, and before he could get into the tunnel of the players, he saw Klopp's dark face.
Jurgen Klopp has always been more optimistic, and even if he loses the game, he will not necessarily show such an expression.
This made Lin Yi a little surprised, he really couldn't think of what his head coach was unhappy about.
Was it because we didn't play the style and attack we wanted in the second half?
With such a question, Lin Yi didn't even accept the post-game interview, and quickly returned to the locker room.
In the locker room at this time, there was only Klopp, who came back in a hurry, and Lin Yi, who chased back.
Klopp looked at Lin Yi, who came back with him, his face was still not good-looking, and he shook his head at his front waist.
"If you fight like this, the next game will be very dangerous."
"After all, we still have two away goals."
Under Klopp's basin of cold water, Lin Yi quickly broke away from the excitement and made an analysis like this.
"Man, it's just two away goals, but the opponent is Barcelona, and if you're not careful, you might have big problems."
Lin Yi listened to the coach's words, and although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to nod.
"And the most important thing is that the opponent has obviously figured out our weaknesses, and I think Busquets has limited you, you don't seem to have much to do."
After listening to the coach's words, Lin Yi also fell silent.
Indeed, since Lin Yi landed in Europe, there has never been a defender like Busquets, who has completely failed to cope with normal defensive means.
Although he was also restricted by his opponent in some competitions before, Lin Yi did not feel that his strength was inferior to his opponent, and he could only say that they had adopted effective measures for themselves.
But against Sergio Busquets today, the champion midfielder, who has been called "actor" and "professor" because of one behavior, made Lin Yi have no temper at all.
Whether it's defending alone, limiting your own ball, or helping to defend and passing quickly after a break.
Lin Yi came to only one conclusion, that is, he had never encountered such a difficult opponent.
"Hey! Lin, you speak! What's wrong? β
'I wonder if I have a way to deal with him, and if Barcelona still use him to defend me one-on-one in the next game, I think Henrik should be put on the pitch as well, otherwise it will be very difficult to play in midfield.
Klopp shook his head and didn't respond to Lin Yi, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
Martino's defeat must have been more upset than Jurgen Klopp, and he didn't even know what to say to his players.
Encourage? It doesn't seem to be needed.
Console? Nor is it required.
Criticize? Forget it, or ......
In this way, the emotions of Barcelona who lost and Camp Nou who won seem to be a little strange.
In fact, it's not that Klopp thought about it too early, there were too many problems exposed in the second half, if it weren't for Messi's departure due to injury, maybe Barcelona would have reversed in the second half.
No one is stupid on Barcelona's side, and if they can adjust to their form in the next game, then we will not be able to deal with it.
We can only hope that our home stadium can give this group of lads some strength.
But no matter what, this game was still won, and in the face of the media and most of the players, you still have to adjust your mentality.
With that in mind, Klopp called Kyle to join him in the post-game press conference.
After the game, the whole person fell to the bench, and Kyle was still very happy at this time.
After all, he's just a player, so I can't think of so many things, and it's true that the opponent suppressed us in the second half, but our defense was still good.
The players weren't too much influenced by the manager and were happily discussing their performances in the game.
Lin Yi also put away his worries at this time, turned around and joked with Lewandowski.
"I said, you really didn't score a goal in the second half, do you want me to look down on you like that?"
For Lin Yi, a bad friend, Lewandowski is now used to it, and he has determined that he will leave the team at the end of the season, and the more he goes on, the more reluctant he is to these teammates.
"Isn't it just that there was no goal in this game? I'm telling you, I'm all about keeping the suspense in mind for the next time I play them, and you're waiting to see how I perform a hat-trick for you next! β
The teammates were all excited when they heard Lewandowski's words, and everyone gathered around to coax.
"Don't blow it! So what if you can't do it? β
Lin Yi took the opportunity to continue to ask.
Lewandowski was also a little impulsive when Lin Yi was messed with like this, "If I can't do it, I'll invite everyone to have supper after the game, everyone, I'll take care of it." β
"Wow! Yes. β
"So happily decided!"
"When the time comes, we're going to kick back and not hit the ball forward."
"Yes, you can! It's a good routine. β
Dort player, you and I have been talking about this topic word by word.
Compared to the uneasy joy hidden on their side, the dressing room in Barcelona can explode at this time.
Martino had already gone to the press conference, but he didn't bring anyone.
In other words, he took no one with him.
Captain Puyol and vice-captain Xavi both shook their heads when they were called by him to indicate that they did not want to attend the press conference.
In the end, he had no choice but to come to the press office alone and face all this criticism and criticism.
As soon as he left the dressing room with his front foot, the Barcelona players all started talking.
All the players were unhappy with the manager's performance and scheduling in this game.
Messi, who had already changed his clothes and was sitting in front of his cabinet, was the first to speak.
"The team doctor had already said before the game that I was not fit to start today, and I said it myself, but he insisted on letting me play, so what happened? Do I have a role to play on the field? β
"Knowing that Leo is injured, he still uses Leo as the tactical core in training, and the result? If it weren't for Xavi and Andres in the second half, we wouldn't have been able to grasp the scene! β
"I think we should talk to the director and reconsider what we are capable of as a manager."
After conceding two goals, ValdΓ©s, who had been silent since he came back, suddenly said such a direct sentence.
"Carlos was already tired like that in the second half, and as a result, it took him so long to make a substitution. If Sergio hadn't entangled that Chinese, we would be in danger. And his tactical arrangement, I really don't see any characteristics. β
After saying the first sentence, ValdΓ©s clearly opened up the conversation box and continued to talk.
"Yes! Not to mention Pep and Tito, the tactics he gave us felt too outdated, and when Tito was sick, our assistant coaches were better than he is now. β
As the players spoke, they became angry, and the emotions that everyone had accumulated for more than half a season exploded at this time.
I was tired before, but the team has been winning, but now?
For a team, if they maintain their dominance, a lot of problems will be covered up.
But once that dominance is lost and the team loses the game, there are some potential contradictions that can erupt all at once.
Sometimes it's a conflict between a player and a player, sometimes it's a coach and a player, or a lot of things.
The current situation in Barcelona is the most embarrassing for the coach.
All the players were extremely unanimous and collectively pointed the finger at the coach.
Of course, this is only a microcosm of Martino's experience in charge of this failure.
Individual players have opinions, maybe it's a problem with the players. But the whole team is dissatisfied with the coach, and the coach should still reflect on it.
Jurgen Klopp's own uneasiness was well hidden when he came out of the dressing room, and as a coach, he had to control his emotions in front of the media no matter what.
Especially at this time, if you let the opponent see that you are nervous because of the second half just now, then you will directly expose the goal to Barcelona?
Fortunately, Klopp's own cover measures are very comprehensive, whether it is a beard, a hat and big glasses, they can more or less block his face.
"Mr. Klopp, what do you want to say about your team's upset win over Barcelona just now?"
Hearing this, Klopp did not answer, first pouting quietly.
"First of all, I want to correct it, which is what you just said about the upset, which is inappropriate, last season, we were runners-up in the Champions League and what about Barcelona? They were only in the semi-finals last season, so it's not an upset for us to beat them, we have the quality to match them, do we? β
"So who do you think was the biggest contributor to beating Barcelona?"
"Of course it was my players, if it wasn't for their brilliant performances, I don't think I could beat Barcelona. And it's a two-goal advantage. β
β¦β¦
These are a microcosm of Klopp's interview, and it is still too easy for an old and cunning manager like him to deal with these problems.
Anyway, my team won the game, and I'm comfortable even with your.
When he left the press room, he met Martino, who had just come by at the back door.
The two nodded politely to each other, and then passed by.
Klopp could clearly see the sweat that had run down Martino's face.
It seems that the coach of this kind of super strong team is not so easy to be.
I won't say much about how Martino was questioned and harassed at his home press conference.
Back in the dressing room, although Klopp was still a little anxious, he was still relieved to see his players immersed in the joy of winning.
It's always good that the players are in good shape and have confidence.
As for the tactical side, I'd better go back and think about it myself.
Just as Klopp was thinking about this, Lin Yi suddenly came over.
"Coach Coach! Come on, our striker is here to make a big fuss! He said that the next time against Barcelona, if he can't score a hat-trick. After the game, let's have a supper. β
With Lin Yi, the other players of Dortmund also came up and talked to Klopp about this.
"Yo he! Robert so confident? Originally, I didn't have much confidence, but when you said this, I suddenly felt that we seemed to win the next game! β
Because everyone now knows that Lewandowski is leaving the team at the end of the season, everyone cherishes the last time they spent with him, whether it was a joke or something, everyone's attention was basically on him.
Jurgen Klopp was talking with the players and was about to go out to get on the team's bus when his phone rang.
It's his old buddy Zolke, the old guy, who came to congratulate us on our win?
"What? Do you want to congratulate us on our victory? There's no need to be so polite, just go back and invite our whole team to a good meal. β
"I'm glad our team beat Barcelona in such a crucial match, but I'm sorry, Jurgen, I didn't want to tell you about it, there was a team that called me and made an offer about Ilca just now."
Klopp was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Gundogan.
"It's Barcelona who made the offer, and they want to negotiate with us to try to close the deal. I'm ...... now I'd like to ask you what you think. β
"My opinion? What can I think? Michelle, if Irka leaves again, it seems like I'm going to have to play next season, you know? Yes? Look at how many people we have in our team? β
"I also know the number of people in the team now, but Barcelona's offer is still very considerable, so we can consider it."
"Think about it! If you sell him to me, I'll put you in my squad next season! Also, if you ask Barcelona their striker, whether Alexis Sanchez is for sale or not, I think it's good. β
Zolke on the other end of the phone frowned, you will do business.
I haven't made any money here, and you still want me to spend money, I want to buy you people, but our team has to have money.
Jurgen Klopp actually knows that the team's financial situation is very embarrassing, but no matter how difficult it is, you can't get all the players away for me.
Zolke muttered something more on the phone, but Klopp didn't hear it.
In the end, he just yelled at the microphone again, "Don't sell my players anymore!" Did you hear that?! β
After shouting like this twice, he hung up.
The sudden poaching made the anxiety that was already haunting his heart magnified again.
For the next Champions League game, you have to be very prepared.
Klopp set himself a goal in his heart. (To be continued.) )
