Chapter 743: Unsolvable Puzzle

Perhaps, no one will know how much Yang Huan's words touched Klopp.

He's not a great professional.

On the contrary, the most glorious resume of his career was playing 325 Bundesliga games for Mainz, which is the highest in Mainz's history, even now.

The most profound influence on Klopp was that the manager of Mainz at the time, Wolfgang Frank, is still in charge of the second division, even in Germany, which is not well-known.

But Wolfgang Frank's influence on Klopp is very profound, and even many Mainz players at that time have now become professional coaches, a very important reason is that Wolfgang Frank admires Sacchi very much.

One of Mainz's most important training sessions at the time was watching videos of Saki and his team's matches and training.

Jurgen Klopp was particularly impressed by the fact that Sacchi had his players practice running without the ball on a training ground full of poles, which many people considered boring and boring.

But this is only the surface, if you continue to watch, keep watching, watch it over and over again, dozens, hundreds, five hundred times, you will slowly figure out some of the mysteries, and you will understand a lot of Sacchi's football theories.

It was these videos that laid the foundation for Klopp's coaching philosophy today.

It was at that time that Klopp realized the beauty of tactics.

Anything is possible on the football field, even if the opponent is stronger than you, but you can use effective tactics to limit the opponent's strength to the same level as you, and then defeat them in one fell swoop!

Wolfgang Frank also had a considerable influence on Klopp in the form of learning.

He believes that every manager, even his own defeated players, has something to learn from him.

But learning is not about imitating, it's about improving yourself and finding a path that suits you better!

It can be said that Wolfgang Frank, although he does not have a prominent reputation in German football, and even has a glamorous coaching resume, has had an extremely profound impact on Klopp.

It's just that, unfortunately, he passed away last year!

But all his influences in the past have given Klopp an impulse.

That is, he is eager to go to Serie A, to the league where Sacchi once created a brilliant game, to experience Italian football firsthand.

He is convinced that he will be able to get more nutrients from it, which will enrich and improve his coaching skills.

It's just that, before that, he still had a knot in his heart.

Therefore, when he raised his head again and looked at Yang Huan, he hesitated for a moment and still asked.

"Mr. Yang Huan, there is a question that may be a bit presumptuous, but I still hope you can answer it!"

Klopp's tone was respectful, unprovocative.

Yang Huan's words just now completely convinced Klopp that the rumors from the outside world were not wrong at all, and Yang Huan was not the kind of layman who only spent money and didn't know anything about football.

On the contrary, he knows a lot about football and how to run a team.

"Please!" Yang Huan smiled without hesitation.

"Do you know Dortmund now?"

After Yang Huan nodded and said that he understood, Klopp continued to ask.

"Then I want to ask, what do you think is the solution to Dortmund's predicament today?"

After Yang Huan heard this question, his brows suddenly furrowed, because this question was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Dortmund's problem is as simple as it is complex.

To put it simply, Borussia Dortmund have problems both offensively and defensively.

In the past few years, Klopp's so-called heavy metal tactics, the tactics of winning possession and counter-attacking opportunities in the front court through high-pressure pressing, have very high requirements for the physical fitness of players, and the attrition is also quite huge.

Injuries or something, needless to say, what is even more terrifying is psychological slackness.

No one can keep this high pressure for a long time, so sooner or later, this tactic will go wrong.

The transfers of Gotze and Reuss are nothing more than a lead, and the real problems have been planted in the past few years.

For Borussia Dortmund, there are two options.

One is to keep Jurgen Klopp and regroup the team.

But the problem is that now the offense and defense are going wrong at the same time, and it's quite troublesome.

Because Klopp's tactics are very integral, the defense focuses on starting from the front, and the attack starts from the backline, so the question is, what is the problem? Or is it all wrong?

If you want to reorganize, you have to have a direction, right?

Is it the weakness of the attack in the front court and the great reduction of cohesion, which makes it more difficult for the midfield to handle the ball, and the opponent is more likely to break the ball and counterattack, which in turn causes the defense to be fragile?

Or is it that poor defense can't provide strong support for the midfield, which in turn affects the operation of the midfield, causing the attack to become very fluid?

I'm afraid this has become a chicken-and-egg problem, or an egg-and-chicken problem.

And in other words, what if Klopp is left behind?

If he continues to use this high-pressing tactic, the team will not change in essence.

Does that mean, in two or three years, this season's encounter will happen again?

And then it will start to reorganize again?

In the same way, if Klopp changes his tactics, not to mention whether he can play well, even if he can play, what will happen to the team's current group of players?

At that time, it is inevitable to carry out layoffs and reinforcements, and it will still have to be tossed.

So, Dortmund's second option is much more of a no-brainer.

That is to keep the existing group of players and send Klopp away!

It's a bit brutal to do that, but that's professional football!

"Do you want to hear the truth? Or listen to lies? Yang Huan almost stared into Klopp's eyes and asked.

With almost no hesitation, Klopp blurted out, "Truth! ”

"Then I can tell you, if it were me, in such a dilemma, there is no doubt that the cost of firing the head coach is the lowest, so I would choose this way!"

As soon as Yang Huan's words came out, the faces of almost everyone in the audience changed.

Klopp became a little frustrated, his agent was a little embarrassed, and Kesh Harris, Marco Blanco, and Osirio looked at Young Master Huan with some surprise, not understanding why he said it so directly.

Only Long Wu was still sitting aside, burying his head and playing his mobile game.

Yang Huan took in everyone's expressions and knew it in his heart.

He was looking at Klopp, so why weren't the Germans looking at him?

Everyone is an adult, and the head coach is just a job, and there is no one more noble than the other.

If you want to invite a famous handsome, then at least let people look up to you, right?

"Of course!" Yang Huan changed his words, "If it were me, it would be absolutely impossible for me to let my team fall into the current predicament, because I never thought that the decision made in the dilemma was smart, it was just a question of how much to lose, and I have always tried my best to avoid it!" ”

After a pause, Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It may be a bit boastful to say it, but a year ago, after the acquisition of Atletico Madrid, I told Simeone that Atletico Madrid must transform!" ”

These words suddenly made Klopp's eyes light up!

To say that in the past, Simeone's early coaching of Atletico Madrid, the tactics were very similar to Dortmund.

However, in the past two years, Atletico Madrid has successively introduced a number of young rookies and powerful stars, such as midfielders Isco, Ilia Ramendi, Clasea and other players gradually played an important role in the team, gradually replacing Gabi, Mario Suarez and other midfield giants.

Otamendi at the back also stood firm in the main force, but like Miranda, he gradually lost his position.

The same is true up front, where Mandzukic has been gradually replaced by the likes of Diego Costa and Carlos Tevez.

Simeone has also made exquisite arrangements and adjustments in specific tactics, which makes Atletico Madrid's players adopt high-pressure pressing tactics, but whether it is in defensive positioning, overall movement or passing strategy, etc., they are obviously better, and even often play exquisite tactical coordination.

If Klopp had always thought it was Simeone's credit, now he understands.

It turns out that behind the rise of Atletico Madrid, there is also Yang Huan's foresight!

"We Chinese have a saying that too rigid is easy to break, which means that the best and most ideal state is to be rigid and soft, as much as possible between toughness and elasticity, to achieve some kind of delicate balance, this is an art!"

Yang Huan's last words filled Klopp's heart with embarrassment.

At least, Dortmund's management did not have the foresight and foresight of Yang Huan.

They are now thinking more about finances!

Many people on the outside, who don't know what to do, think about how good Dortmund's management is.

But as an insider, Klopp knows better than anyone that Dortmund's management is fucked up more than anyone else.

Why did Gotze go? Why did Royce go? Why did Lewandowski go?

Because there is no hope in Dortmund!

When the team reached the Champions League final, the management promised a pay rise, but the result?

No plan has been given for a long time!

Last season, Lewandowski wanted to renew his contract, and the management always refused to meet Lewandowski's salary demand, citing the team's financial difficulties.

And in Klopp's opinion, Lewandowski's request is not excessive!

Is the team out of money?

In the season when they reached the Champions League final, Dortmund earned more than 300 million euros and made a net profit of more than 50 million, how could they have no money?

And now the team has no big debts, and now it is negotiating with Puma to sell part of its shares to Puma, at least it will raise more than 100 million yuan, how can there be no money?

If there is really no money, then why do the management of Watzke and other clubs give themselves more than 1.5 million euros in bonuses? Among them, Watsk even exceeds two million euros, why?

At the end of the day, as a public company, Dortmund's management is nothing more than representing the interests of the shareholders, and instead of investing in the team, they are constantly pumping money that should be used to strengthen the team.

As for where those funds go, who knows?

At this moment, in Klopp's eyes, compared with Yang Huan, Dortmund's management is really ......

I'm afraid that only the fans who are kept in the dark will think how wise they are!

As everyone knows, they are vampires lying on the team!

Thinking of this, Klopp closed his eyes and thought about some questions very carefully and seriously.

Yang Huan also waited patiently, he knew that this was the minimum demeanor.

Whether Klopp agrees or not, he must have this demeanor.

And he's not in a hurry anyway.

He had already booked a plane south to Munich this afternoon.

Because tonight, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Southampton will take on Bayern Munich away.

This is also the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals!

Atletico Madrid has successfully defeated Borussia Dortmund away and stepped into the Champions League final with one foot, and Yang Huan naturally hopes that Southampton can create another miracle and defeat Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League final.

In this way, the two teams under his command will meet in the Champions League final, no matter who wins or loses, there is no difference for him, but it is just a matter of left hand and right hand.

It was when Yang Huan smiled wistfully that Klopp opened his eyes.

It seems that he has the answer!
