Chapter 90: The Second Half Begins

"Mr. Klopp, what do you have to say about your home visit to Hamburg?" A reporter from the Kicker newspaper interviewed.

'We're in great shape as a team, we're back in full form, we're in better shape now than we were in the first half of the season, so we're confident in this game and the win belongs to Borussia Dortmund!' Klopp said with a smile.

It has to be said that the transfer market this winter has been unexpectedly deserted, with only 8.5 million euros for the Bundesliga, which is the young left-back Ricardo brought in by Wolfsburg from Zurich. Rodriguez, the left-back is very strong defensively, and bringing in this young left-back could greatly improve Wolfsburg's defensive strength.

However, in fact, the target of the Bundesliga winter transfer should be Reuss, and the local star of the Borussia Mönchengladbach team, Reuss, is "in love" with Dortmund, so Borussia Mönchengladbach also agreed to Reus's transfer, and Dortmund needs to pay a transfer fee of 18 million euros.

However, in Klopp's eyes, this transfer is too good value, Klopp is confident that Royce will play under him, and he will definitely sell for at least 50 million euros in the future.

Sports manager Zorke also decided to buy Reuss after many discussions with his boss Watzke, after all, Reuss's performance this season is too good, if other teams are still hesitating, Dortmund may miss the German star.

However, Borussia Mönchengladbach asked Reus to continue to play for Borussia Mönchenbach until next summer, which means that Dortmund will not be able to get Reus's play immediately after paying the transfer fee, but will need to wait until next season Reus to play for Dortmund, which is also unacceptable to Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich poached people in order to weaken the opponent's strength.

The performance of Borussia Mönchen this season is very good, so Ebel, the sporting director of Borussia Mönchenchen, also hopes that Reuss can lead the team to the top four in the Bundesliga, so that Borussia Mönchen can participate in the Champions League next season, which can lead tens of millions of income for the team, so the selling policy of the Borussia Mönchenchen team is that it can be sold but it must be able to get Reuss next summer.

Reus himself is also very affectionate about discovering and cultivating his Borussia Mönchengladbach, and he hopes to win a qualification for Borussia Mönchengladbach to participate in the Champions League, so that he can be regarded as worthy of Mönchenbach's cultivation of him.

Klopp also agreed to Borussia Mönchen's request with great difficulty, after all, in Klopp's plan, Reuss is very important, but this may be the only opportunity to buy Reuss, so Klopp agreed.

For a coach like Jurgen Klopp, who likes to promote young players, the allure of talent is huge, and Klopp certainly wants more young players to grow from his own hands to become one of the best stars in Europe.

However, the opening match of the second half of the Bundesliga season was the first game of Borussia Mönchenchen away to Bayern Munich, and both teams performed well in the first half, Bayern won the halfway with 37 points, and Borussia Mönchen also scored 33 points to rank fourth.

With a summer move to Borussia Dortmund already confirmed, Reuss may be able to show his new club with a positive performance and prove that he is a good value.

However, Neuer gave a big gift soon after the opening, Reus completed 1 pass and 1 shot to help Borussia Mönchen beat Bayern 3-1, after this game, Bayern is still ranked first with 37 points, and Borussia Mönchen is second with 36 points, chasing Bayern.

Although the game was a day late, Dortmund's away game against Hamburg was still very much watched, and the two teams had already met once, that time it was the first time that Guan Peng played in the Bundesliga at Dortmund's home stadium, and it was in this game that Klopp established himself as the core of the team because of his excellent performance.

So, when Guan Peng was interviewed by a reporter from the Hamburg media.

"Hamburg is a wonderful city, Hamburg is my lucky star and I hope I can do well in this game like the first time we played each other."

However, Guan Peng's answer undoubtedly made the Hamburg media very angry, what is called your lucky star, do you mean that we Hamburg are the characters who give you points?

"The proud and arrogant Chinese, the outstanding performance in the first half of the season made him arrogant!"

"Chinese kid provokes burgers!"

The headlines in Hamburg's media undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and the Hamburg fans were not good-tempered, with many fans even insulting and threatening Guan Peng.

"Yellow-skinned monkey get out of the burger!"

"Fuck off! Chinese kid! ”

"East Asian sick man, you will soon show your true form!"

It was in the midst of such a noisy quarrel that the 18th round of the Bundesliga Dortmund away to Hamburg began.

However, Hamburg's head coach Fink opted for a very conservative 451 formation and stockpiled more defensive players.

Goalkeeper Drobney, defenders Dickmeier, Ogo, Westerman, Brumma, midfielders Janssen, Tescher, Rincón, Lin Zhijian, Cachar, striker Guerrero.

Hamburg's Lim Chi-kin is of German-Chinese origin, his father is from Hong Kong, China, and his position is an attacking all-round midfielder.

Lin Zhijian is very flexible physically, and the ball control and speed are also advantages, which is typical of Asian players.

In 2005 he joined the youth team of Hamburg and scored three goals in a total of 62 appearances.

In the 2010 season, he was promoted to the Hamburg II team in the regional league, scoring three goals in 33 games.

He has also been in excellent form this season, with Hamburg II currently top of the regional league in the north.

It was his impressive performances that led manager Fink to promote him to the first team and be able to start this game.

On the Dortmund side, goalkeeper Longerak, defenders Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer, double midfielders Bender, Kehl, forward Guan Peng, two wingers Grosskloitz, Blaszczykowski, center Lewandowski.

In this game, Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller caught a cold before the game, so Klopp let the team's substitute goalkeeper Longerak start in this game, Weidenfeller's wonderful performance this season made the team's substitute goalkeeper Longger almost have a chance to perform, and Klopp also believes in Weidenfeller more.

There are still Götze, Barrios, Gundogan, Perisic and other giants on the bench who can play for the team at any time, and Klopp has made a lot of preparations for this game.
