Chapter 741: How Did You Mess Up?

The weather on this day was surprisingly cold!

The dark clouds in the sky seem to be coming down from the top of the head at any moment, which makes people feel oppressed. XsHuotXT

Blowing from the southwest, the monsoon in the English Channel is not big, but it is very sharp, like a knife, hitting people's bodies, it will penetrate into people's clothes everywhere, making people feel a chill all over their bodies.

Jurgen Klopp strolled through the streets of Dortmund, passing around the corner, the wind swept by, it was a little cold, and he couldn't help but shiver, quickly pressed the yellow Dortmund fan hat on his head, put his hands in his sweatshirt pockets, and continued to walk.

At this point in time, people in the city are either working or sleeping, and it is difficult to see people on the street.

Occasionally, a few passed by, all in a hurry, and no one recognized this sloppy middle-aged coach as the head coach of Dortmund.

But Klopp had a feeling that if someone recognized him, they might scold him.

Because just last night, Dortmund was sitting at their home stadium, but was beaten 1-2 by Atletico Madrid, which was playing away, which was obviously not an easy score for Dortmund.

But he and his players have done their best!

Sometimes, he really wants to scold some fans because they are completely unreasonable!

Yes, in the minds of some fans, there is no reason at all, only demands!

That's winning!

They wouldn't have thought that Dortmund had sent away Götze and Reuss in a summer, and the team suffered heavy losses, Dortmund's reach for the semi-finals was already considered the limit, so what else did they want?

They will not accept it, how can they ask the team to continue to be strong in the league for the past few seasons when the team is full of injuries and the morale of the players?

The most important thing about Jurgen Klopp's team is cohesion and trust!

But now, Goetze and Royce are gone, and Lewandowski is gone, where is the cohesion?

A moment ago, Klopp also swore that Reuss would not leave, but in the next second, the management officially announced that Reuss had switched to Tottenham Hotspur, a local tyrant team, how could he be trusted?

It's been a fucking season!

It will also be Klopp's last season in the city!

Keep your head down and walk forward step by step.

Pass the aromatic bakery, past the closed coffee house, and come to the intersection.

Opposite is the largest sporting goods store in the center of Dortmund!

Remember that when Klopp first coached the Hornets, the team was at a low point, and it was in this mall that the price of a Dortmund jersey dropped to less than 20 euros, and it was still not cared for.

But in the past few seasons, it has been in this mall that the Hornets have always sold out of stock and fan supplies, even at the Düsseldorf branch.

When the mall's owner met Jurgen Klopp, he joked that Düsseldorf residents were far more hungry for Dortmund jerseys and fan supplies than Apple's tablets.

This makes Klopp proud!

But now, all of this will be away from him!

The league, step by step from the relegation zone, climbed up to the middle of the table, but for Dortmund, who were still talking about winning the championship two years ago, the middle table is already a completely unacceptable bad result.

Now, even the Champions League may be out of the competition.

Thinking of this, Klopp sighed heavily.

In his last season at Dortmund, it is likely that nothing remained!

Maybe even the fans who have supported him for the past few years have now chosen to abandon him.

Standing on the corner of the crossroads, looking at the sporting goods store that had not yet opened on the opposite side, Klopp couldn't help but be a little stunned.

So much so that when the phone rang, he woke up.

When I took it out, it was my agent, Mark Kosik.

"Hey, Mark!" Klopp answered the phone.

"You didn't go to Brackel this morning, did you?" Mark Kosic asked.

Brackel is home to the Dortmund training base.

'No, the team is off this morning and they've been under too much pressure lately. Klopp said.

"Well, are you free now?"

Klopp frowned a little strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

"Remember, as I mentioned to you before, Inter Milan in Serie A once contacted me and asked if you would like to go to Serie A to coach?"

"Hmm!" Jurgen Klopp, of course, remembers that Inter Milan were the first to extend an offer to him after announcing his resignation from Borussia Dortmund.

"Their boss came to Dortmund personally!"

"What?" Klopp was a little surprised.

Just pick a coach, and let the boss come out in person?

Even Klopp, who always felt that he was important, was still a little surprised.

Because in front of the big boss, these coaches are nothing at all, when have you ever seen the boss personally come forward to hire a head coach? It's good to be able to make a phone call and communicate a few words!

"The owner of Inter Milan, who is also the owner of Atletico Madrid, was at the Stadio Vistel **** last night."

"Oh!"

Only then did Klopp suddenly come to his senses.

But I still feel a little flattered, after all, the boss has come forward in person.

"How? Can't see it? Mark Kosic asked.

But soon, he added, "I think they are very sincere, and the conditions are quite good!" ”

This last sentence made Klopp a little moved.

Although he has repeatedly been hard-mouthed, and even faced the provocations of Bayern Munich executives many times, he has repeatedly said that he is happy to lead the Hanging Silk team to counterattack Gao Fushuai, but who doesn't want to have better coaching resources?

It's like now, if Dortmund had enough resources in all aspects, or didn't need to be high, as long as they were not bad financially, would Götze and Reus still leave?

In the past few years, the team that he worked hard to build and run in has always been torn apart during the summer transfer, and he has sent away core players such as Sha Cine, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, and Reuss.

Ask yourself, no matter how good and good Klopp is, he can't help poaching like this for many years!

Mark Kosik on the other end of the phone felt Klopp's hesitation in silence, "Jurgen, I know that your original plan was to rest and improve yourself, but I think this may be an opportunity. ”

"What do you mean?" Klopp asked again.

"Haven't you always wanted to visit Bielsa's training and talk to Bielsa?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Then you should go and meet him, because the person who wants to meet you is the boss of Southampton!"

"What?" Klopp was directly shocked at this moment.

I have to say, he is a very eccentric football guy.

To say that Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and other teams are the same owner of the news, in the inner circle of European professional football, it is no secret, as long as Klopp inquires a little, you can know.

But on the contrary, the head coach of Dortmund is simply a guy who pounces on the team and doesn't listen to anything outside the window!

"You're saying that these teams are the same owner?"

"Yes!" Mark Kosic on the other end of the phone must have felt the waterfall sweat.

I don't even know this, how do you get mixed up in professional football?

"Southampton have always attached great importance to coaching and tactics, and as you mentioned before, inviting famous managers to exchange ideas on a regular basis is just one of them, and Bielsa's tactical skills, as you know, Pep Guardiola and Simeone have been deeply influenced by him.

That's why Jurgen Klopp is so keen to talk to Bielsa and train with Southampton.

Pep Guardiola has been his bitter boss in the Bundesliga this season, while Simeone has just given him a blow in the Champions League.

The apprentices are so good, will the master's realm be higher?

Moreover, Bielsa has always been like a legendary master of the world!

"That's right!" Something suddenly occurred to Mark Kosik.

"Inter Milan sent a document before, I put it in your house, have you read it?"

As an agent, he knew very well that Klopp went to see Yang Huan, which was somewhat of a sign of application.

Anyone who has applied knows that it is important to find out what role they are applying for and the background of the company they are hiring for.

That's why he had to be reminded.

"Look!" Klopp replied.

"The problems of the Inter Milan team are very serious, Mazzarri tried his best, but many things are not said to be solved and done with his best efforts, but I also feel that Inter Milan is also quite supportive of Mazzal, but ......"

Sometimes, the club and the manager are like a marriage, not to say that if you fall in love, you will be able to grow old together.

The point is that there are many, many more unpredictable things that can happen.

Mazzarri and Inter Milan are not insincere, which can be seen from the fact that the two sides negotiated in advance, and broke up peacefully this season, and even in order to complete Mazzalhi's reputation, Inter Milan's external rhetoric is that Mazzarri took the initiative to resign.

It can only be said that Mazzari is really not suitable for Inter!

"And what do you think?" Mark Kosic asked with concern.

Before negotiating, he must first find out the bargaining chips he holds, so that he has the capital to negotiate!

"With the current squad and strength of Inter Milan, if they play normally, there is no problem with the top three in the league, and their squad configuration is very young, and in the long run, they have great potential for development."

After a pause, Klopp continued: "But the biggest problem of this team at the moment is cohesion, the lack of trust in each other, so whoever is in charge of Inter Milan has to face this big problem! ”

Cohesion and trust are not built overnight.

But if it is destroyed, it is much easier.

This is the way this world is, it is always harder to build than to destroy!

"Are you sure?" Mark Kosic asked again.

Klopp visibly hesitated for a moment and thought for a moment, "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?"

'If someone had asked me, I would have said that there must be, but sometimes if a manager wants to produce results, it is not enough to rely on the coaching staff and the players, it depends on the management and the business philosophy of the whole club.

"What do you mean......"

"If Inter Milan just want to finish in the top three of the league and guarantee the Champions League like Napoli and Roma, then I have no interest in this team!"

When Klopp said this, he was very resolute and very sure.

With his current reputation and status in European football, he would certainly not allow himself to coach a team without ambition.

Who knows, as soon as he finished saying this, Mark Kosic on the other side of the phone laughed.

"What's wrong?" Klopp was a little surprised.

"Nothing!" Mark Kosic was still laughing, "It's just that I remembered what Yang Huan once said when Inter Milan football director Blanca called me before." ”

"What?" Klopp asked with interest.

The key is that Yang Huan is too mysterious in European football!

'He said Inter Milan are looking for a manager who can take the Nerazzurri to the top of their history in the long run, not just for a flash in the pan, as they did in 2010, so this time, they are very cautious!

Very cautious?

Chose me?

Or the boss to talk in person?

On the streets of Dortmund, Klopp felt a warmth of being valued again.
