Chapter 41: A Visit to Gotze

"You kid, okay, hurry up and take a shower, change into clean clothes in a while, and have to attend the press conference with me! Don't worry, I won't be on the pay! Klopp looked at Guan Peng with some amusement.

"Okay, I'll go." Guan Peng and his teammates went back to the locker room to clean up, and when Guan Peng came out after washing and changing into clean clothes, Klopp couldn't help but look at Guan Peng in front of him, 185 height plus strong body, and his appearance is so handsome, this is definitely the darling of the media, no wonder every time a reporter interviews Guan Peng.

Klopp took Guan Peng and Kyle to the press conference, Valverde had already waited with captain Papadopoulos for a long time, and when he came to the scene, the coaches and players of the two sides shook hands with each other and sat down in their respective positions, and the on-site interview officially began.

"Mr. Klopp, after winning this game, Dortmund has won two in a row, and it is only three points away from Marseille, who are temporarily ranked second in the group, I wonder if you are confident of leading Dortmund to the round of 16?" After the moderator signaled the interview to begin, the reporter of the German newspaper Bild was the first to get up and ask questions.

'Of course, we are confident in our quality, as I have said many times, Borussia Dortmund are a team hungry for titles, there is no team that does not want to win the Champions League, and we are no different, but our priority this season is to reach the last 16! Klopp spoke eloquently in the face of reporters' questions.

"Mr. Valverde, Olympiacos finished fourth in the group after this game and has basically confirmed that there is no hope of qualifying, I wonder if you have any comment on the team's performance in this game?" A reporter from the German kicker newspaper asked.

'We played well and you can see that in the first half we basically killed Borussia Dortmund's attack at the beginning, but unfortunately Dortmund won the game thanks to the quality of the players, and I think my players did well. Valverde, on the other hand, gave his own analysis of the result of the game.

"Hello, Guan, if Dortmund can beat Marseille in the end and reach the last 16 of the Champions League, do you have any confidence in Dortmund?" At the scene, reporters began interviews for her one after another.

'Of course there is confidence, everyone in the squad is eager to perform in the Champions League, we will give our best in the game and as long as there is hope, we will never give up!'

After accepting the interview with the media, Klopp waved his hand, and the players followed coach Klopp to a high-end restaurant, which seemed to be to eat coach Klopp poor.

"You guys, it seems that I am usually too good to you, and the team will double their training tomorrow!" Klopp couldn't help but feel a little pain when he saw the players take him to a fancy restaurant, it seems that he will be kneeling on the washboard again when he goes home tonight!

"Don't, Coach!" Klopp's words caused the players to scream, but everyone still decided to kill Klopp even if the training doubled tomorrow, of course, Klopp was just joking, as the coach of the Bundesliga champion, Klopp's salary is quite high, and he is not afraid of this money.

"I'm very satisfied with your performance, especially the momentum of the team at the moment, you know that this season we will play on multiple fronts, in the Champions League we are new and inexperienced, in the Bundesliga we have to face the challenge of Bayern Munich, including the arch-rival Schalke 04, and the dark horse of Borussia Mönchenchen, it can be said that our road this season is very difficult, I hope we can unite as one, create brilliance, and defend the Bundesliga title!" Klopp finished and took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

The players at the bottom also drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp, at this time the players did not slowly taste the wine, the red wine was basically dried up in a cup, everyone drank very happily at night, I have to say, as a young coach, Klopp has a very good grasp of the players' emotions.

He treated the young players as his friends and was able to really integrate into the young players' community, and then the Dortmund people went home late at night.

The next day, it wasn't until noon that Guan Peng woke up from his dream, shook his head that hurt badly, it seems that he drank too much yesterday, today Klopp decided to take a day off, Guan Peng is going to see Götze in the hospital, his friend is hospitalized, he should go to see it.

Guan Peng got up to wash, and then made a bite to eat, then set off to a local hospital in Dortmund, pushed open the door and saw that the kid Götze was eating the porridge fed by his girlfriend, the kid was very happy, Guan Peng was quite happy to see his friend love so sweet.

"You kid, it's good to be injured, we're fighting outside, and your kid is lying in the hospital and showing affection to his girlfriend, isn't it?" Guan Peng smiled and put the flowers and fruit baskets he bought next to Gotze's hospital bed.

"Hehe, I want to play too, but unfortunately the doctor said that I have to play at least in the next round of the league before I can play, and when you are playing in the Champions League, I don't want to play with you anymore!" Götze said seriously, it seems that the past few days in the hospital have really suffocated this kid.

"Okay, it's nothing, we're in a good situation right now, as long as you're healthy, then we'll beat Marseille in the Champions League and advance to the round of 16!" Guan Peng patted Gotze on the shoulder and said.

Guan Peng chatted with Gotze about what happened recently when he was not in the team, and when Gotze heard Klopp invite him to dinner, he regretted it, knowing that Götze had not eaten Klopp's meals in total over the years at Dortmund.

In the next few days, Gotze also began to be discharged from the hospital to adjust his physical condition at any time, you must know that Gotze is known as the German Messi, which shows the importance of Gotze to Dortmund, and there are even rumors that Arsenal wanted 50 million pounds to buy Gotze, but was sternly rejected by the team's president Watzke, claiming that Gotze is the team's "not for sale".

The team is still focusing on recovery training, with the assistant coach leading the players to do some basic training to maintain a good form for the home game against Wolves Wolfsburg in Dortmund on November 5.

Jurgen Klopp was also on the sidelines to watch the players in training and pick out the starting line-up for the 12th round, and whether Götze could play in the starting position due to his injury was a matter of great concern to the media.
