Chapter 410: A war of words before the game
Such a victory could not change Dortmund's disadvantage in the league, but it did alleviate their embarrassment in front of the fans, and also made the pressure on Klopp continued to be exerted by the club's hierarchy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the press conference after the game, Lin Yi was still very talkative today, answering all questions from reporters.
Klopp also once asked Lin Yi why he had such a change, and Lin Yi's answer was very simple.
"The situation the team is now, if I were like that when I was facing the media, maybe they would have written something."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Klopp couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, when the results are not good, the whole momentum will be much weaker.
Meanwhile, in Bayern Munich's locker room, Lewandowski muttered, "This guy is really haunted." ”
Standing beside him, Guardiola naturally said what the striker he introduced this year, if purely from the perspective of a fan, Lin Yi's two goals are actually very exciting.
"Don't worry, Robert. All you can get is the support of the whole team. As for Lin ...... He was on his own. ”
Lewandowski was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at the coach who had rescued him from the sea of suffering with some puzzlement.
"Dortmund is in a bad situation right now, a bit like Barcelona last season. Martino is not trusted by the players, and he insists on instilling his ideas in the Barcelona players, Klopp is more popular than Martino, but unfortunately...... This time it's not the players who don't trust him, it's the higher-ups. It's fine for a coach not to have the trust of the players, but if he doesn't have the trust of the higher-ups, then his results will not be good anyway. ”
No matter how disappointed Lewandowski is in the club of Dortmund, his gratitude to Klopp is indeed self-evident, if it weren't for Klopp's blue eyes for him, maybe he would still be living in fear in Poland's small club. If it weren't for Klopp's trust in him, he might still be wasting time on the bench. So after listening to Guardiola's words, he couldn't help but worry about his former mentor.
"Whether Klopp can survive this catastrophe depends not on the players or the fans, but on himself."
As a coach, Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the best, and more importantly, he understands that the fate of a coach does not depend entirely on his coaching ability and tactical literacy, but also on many other factors.
Lewandowski obviously didn't understand so much, and nodded blankly, worried about his mentor and worried about his own scorer ranking.
Lin Yi, who returned home, is too lazy to think about it so much now, no matter how mature he is, he is still just a young man under the age of twenty-one after all, and when he is facing huge competition pressure, he occasionally thinks about making a little escape.
Eva's cooking skills are still not improving, and the only improvement is that she will finally not force herself to continue to challenge in this field.
Lin Yi is quite satisfied with this, if he is not tired, he will cook by himself, otherwise he will go out for a romantic dinner.
Soon it was Valentine's Day, but it was a pity that Lin Yi couldn't spend such a beautiful day with Eva, because it was a match day. Even more cruel than that, because next week is a European match day in midweek, so the two may not even get a chance to meet in the days leading up to Valentine's Day.
The day before going to Stuttgart, Lin Yi touched Eva's head with some apologies, "I can't accompany you on Valentine's Day, after the Europa League is over, I will ask the team for a leave of absence, let's go directly to Milan from Naples for a day, let you go shopping spree or something?" ”
Eva shook her head, "Forget it. What's this, I'm going to go with you to watch you play at the scene, you play football well, just give me a Valentine's Day gift, how about it? ”
Lin Yi took her in his arms and touched her face.
"It's so good, I even refused to shop, haha, if you agree, you will fall into my trap, I will say that you don't understand the thrifty housekeeping, and then hang you up and beat, and don't give you food for a few days?"
Eva bit Lin Yi painlessly and gave him a charming look.
The next day, I went to Stuttgart, and on the plane, Royce sat next to Lin Yi, but his expression was quite regretful.
Because he has just had the flu, although the team is in Stuttgart today, most of them will not play.
However, Stuttgart is really not a strong opponent, and even without him, there should not be any major problems. Lin Yi, who was sitting next to him, was wearing an eye patch and leaning back in his chair, obviously asleep.
This kid can really eat and sleep, Royce looked at his friend's still somewhat green face, and couldn't help but be a little envious.
Klopp sat at the back with Kyle, and the two of them chatted casually, talking about the past.
Kyle fiddled with his phone, looking at the photos one by one, remembering that time, he suddenly felt a little sentimental.
Seven or eight years have actually passed in a blink of an eye.
And there are still a lot of things, and before I can get used to it, it seems that it is almost over.
Klopp didn't have as much sentimentality as Kyle, but he was brought by this close friend who was a former disciple and now a colleague, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the two of them looked at the previous photos, and when they looked at them, they didn't speak.
"Sebastian, there are some things that we still have to face after all, as far as the league is concerned, what do you think we should do?"
This is the first time Klopp has spoken to himself about these things so openly, speaking directly about the bleak future of the Bundesliga.
And Kyle has to admit that despite all the time he has been running away and anesthetizing himself, the team may indeed have set the worst league record in recent seasons this season. As for the league title or even Champions League qualification, it is all wishful thinking.
"Perhaps, the best option should be to try to get a good spot in the league...... Then go for the cup title. ”
Klopp shook his head, "Fighting for a good spot in the league may not be as simple as it seems. ”
Kyle was silent, of course he understood what Klopp meant, but was the league just like that? Can the fans buy it? What about the high-rise?
"I know you're worried, but there are some things that you can't do without making a choice."
The two old men who were older than the three Lin Yi were sitting here, not as calm as their captain.
The game against Stuttgart was put by Jurgen Klopp with an asterisk on his calendar because it was a match he felt was important.
After all, Stuttgart can be said to be one of their biggest competitors on the road to relegation, and it is definitely necessary to step on it in this situation.
With Reus out for flu, Klopp made a bold change, bringing Lin back to a midfield position, putting Aubameyang in the opposition box, and Grosskloyz and Mechtaryan on left and right, maintaining the attacking nature of the attack. As for Kaka, he watched the game in the grandstand box with Royce.
The well-informed Kaka naturally understands what the manager means, this is to let himself accumulate strength for the next Europa League.
Napoli has Higuain, the top scorer in Serie A for two seasons, and Higuain, who has never been able to climb the mountain of Juventus in Serie A, can only focus more on European competition if he wants to go further.
Kaka still has a high opinion of this South American compatriot who has been a teammate with him at Real Madrid for a long time.
Maybe Higuain's ability to rewrite the game is not as good as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when they were at their peak, or even Lin Yi and Reus, who have not yet reached their peak, but to some extent, Higuain is the kind of striker who is extremely popular with coaches. After all, a striker who is more than stable and only makes small mistakes at critical moments is also very good.
After all, more coaches are still facing leagues that take a long time and test their endurance.
As for whether the Argentine manager thinks this way, Kaka doesn't know.
Stuttgart's situation this year is very bad, instead of grasping the problem on Dortmund's side to fall into the well once, but being stepped on hard by Dortmund.
Lin Yi, who returned to the midfield position, showed his strong adaptability and the ability of the free man up front that Klopp admires the most. Scoring two goals and providing two assists, the performance not only applauded Klopp and Borussia Dortmund fans, but also terrified Lewandowski and Thiago.
After all, the league championship is almost a sure victory, and they can only turn to a greater demand for personal honors.
Royce said to Kaka, who was sitting next to him, "You said that Lin Yi, this kid, will he be able to win a Golden Globe Award like you in the future?" Or is it some other high honor? ”
Kaka, who has completed his life and won all the honors he can get, smiled, "He will definitely be able to." This guy. ”
After a day of adjustment in Stuttgart, the entire Dortmund team was on the plane again, this time to Italy.
Napoli, located in southern Italy, has a glorious past and the best players.
Maradona, the once dominant player here, still has the habit of coming back to watch several of the team's major games every year, even though he has become largely dissatisfied with the team's sluggish performance year after year.
Napoli, like Borussia Dortmund, were also eliminated from the group stage of the Champions League and fell into the Europa League.
Therefore, the duel between these two teams must be very ferocious, and there is no reason why the Argentine king should not come back to take a look at such a game.
Before the start of the game, Maradona also came to the Napoli training ground to cheer on his juniors.
Especially for Higuain, the main striker when he was in charge of the national team, Maradona was indispensable for some guidance.
When he was caught by the media for an interview, he also continued his habit of having a big mouth.
"Dortmund? I don't think this team can beat Napoli, even if their captain is strong, but that Chinese can't beat eleven, don't you say? ”
This interview video was quickly uploaded to the Internet, and the original interview effect was fermented at once.
At the press conference before the game, many people took out Maradona's remarks and asked Lin Yi's opinion.
Lin Yi's reaction was still very calm.
"I think what he said makes a lot of sense, football is a team sport, and I never thought I could do it in one dozen or eleven, but I thought about it again, like he did in one dozen four or one dozen five, I still have the idea to challenge it."
As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, it once again caused an uproar.
Who's that? Maradona, the king of football, is one of only two people in history who has been recognized as the "king of the ball".
Dare to say that he can be like him, let alone Messi, who has always been humble, I'm afraid that even Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been evaluated as arrogant by many media, will not say such a thing, right?
Regarding such a question, Lin Yi directly responded at the pre-game press conference.
"I don't think it's hard to have three, four or five by one, otherwise you can go back and look at the video of my previous fights, I've done it all. If you can't find it, I'm going to try to get you to watch it again in the game against Napoli? What do you think? ”
As the captain of Naples, after hearing Lin Yi's words, Hamshik openly said in front of the media, "I will make this arrogant Chinese pay, and I am also very happy to meet them, so that we have more time to teach him what respect is once again." ”
Then some hindsight media figured out why Lin Yi seized Maradona's words to provoke Napoli.
These two teams, or the stars and core of these two teams, had a big bond last season.
It's just that Lin Yi, who was still regarded as a hairy boy at that time, has now become the captain and absolute core of Dortmund, and what he said has naturally attracted more people's attention.
"Even if you can't really play three, if you can score three goals against them, I think it would be good." Lin Yi said.
Royce shook his head, "I hope I don't get a chance in this fight, otherwise I'll definitely fuck those shreds hard." ”
"Send them out first, and I won't stop you later if you want to."
The Europa League quarter-finals, which have received a lot of attention since the draw came out, have continued to escalate to a certain extent with the pre-match war of words among several people.
Kaka, who had been joining in the fun, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Their defender is Zuniga?" ”
"yes, one of the chop pieces." Royce replied coldly.
"It's the guy who kicked Neymar."
Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction, it seemed that Kaka would also be in the same camp as himself and Royce.
That's right, such a team, you have to play hard together.
