Chapter 759: The Leader's Learning

'It was a very dramatic game and I thought we would be able to keep the good situation in the first half until the second half, but unfortunately our opponents quickly adapted to our way of playing and we were beaten'

Klopp commented on the camera with a regretful and frustrated face when asked by reporters at the post-match press conference.

"The moment the game ended, it was like a disaster for us, we played really well, every one of us tried to put the best of ourselves in the game, especially in the first half, when we were in complete control of the game, but our good performance lacked consistency and gave the opponent a breather at half-time."

Klopp speaks in a fast, even slow manner, suggesting that he is not in a good mood right now.

"I want to congratulate Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu, they are very good, Ye Qiu is also a very good manager and a very good person, from this game I and my players have learned a lot, I will not be jealous of him because we are not the same kind of people, but I know that he is the best manager on the planet."

'It's painful to lose in that way, at least I think it should be a close game, but it turned out to be a win at our home stadium, which is unfortunate, but that's football, we have to learn to accept it and say goodbye to defeat

"I want to say that the game is over, we need to rest well and then start again"

Ye Qiu, who was sitting next to Klopp, was also interviewed by reporters quickly, and he also said very graciously that Dortmund brought very big trouble to Tottenham Hotspur in the game, and even made people feel desperate for a while.

"I've told my players more than once to forget what we've achieved in the past and forget everything else, because every game can cause us to lose, and no one knows what will happen after defeat, and no one wants to taste the bitterness of defeat, so the best way is to try to win every game."

'I'm happy that we did a good job in the second half and turned the tide and that's a credit to everyone in the team, but it's a game for everyone to be wary of, that we are not invincible, we have to take every game seriously.

Ye Qiu also praised Franck Ribery, who scored a hat-trick in the game and helped the team to a victory over Borussia Dortmund from the West, believing that the Frenchman has always been the best player, and he has never doubted that.

"He's in the FIFA Ballon d'Or squad?" Ye Qiu smiled at the reporter's question, "I think this is very normal, yes, maybe he was out for a while at the beginning of the season due to injury, but after his comeback, his performance is impressive, I don't think he should just be in the squad." ”

The reporter then asked several more questions, including about the situation in the group of death.

"I want to reiterate one thing again" When Klopp was asked if he was confident of leading his team out of the group, the German smiled a little exaggeratedly, as if to show his confidence, "We don't just want to qualify from the group, we also want to finish top of the group, who can say we don't have a chance?" ”

'I've told my players that the group stage can be seen as a knockout stage, just as brutal, and if it's a two-legged match, we've only finished the first leg with three opponents, and against Tottenham Hotspur, we're three years behind, but we're experts in the second leg.

'Everybody knows we're a team that gets better and better, playing knockout rounds is what we do best, and turning things around in the second leg is our forte, so we're going to try to win the next three games.'

"Including at White Hart Lane?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, this is only the first round, and the one qiē is not over yet, is it?" Klopp laughed.

His remarks about playing the Champions League group stage as a two-legged knockout round are indeed relatively new, but in fact, if you look at it the other way around, the group of death has been played three rounds, and Dortmund only has two away games, one is Tottenham Hotspur and the other is Montpellier, of which the latter can almost be said to be a safe and secure point game, and the home game against Juventus depends on Dortmund's own ability.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, playing White Hart Lane Stadium away is undoubtedly a key battle for Dortmund to stabilize the breakthrough situation, and if they can win this battle of Tianwang Mountain, the group will become very good.

Regarding Klopp's provocation, Ye Qiu also fought back in person.

'I said we wanted a team to beat us and for us it's a wonderful thing to fail, like in the first half we lost two goals but we learned a lot, so in the second half we applied what we learned in the first half to our opponents, so we scored three goals

Ye Qiu's words caused many reporters present to laugh, and Klopp couldn't help but laugh.

"We are a stronger team and we welcome any team, including Borussia Dortmund, to show the strength, determination and courage that we want to beat us, because we will prove that we are strong with more strength, more determination and more amazing courage"

"We will not be afraid of any challenge from any opponent because all the teams that challenge us end badly"

The-for-tat confrontation between the two managers at the post-match press conference also fascinated all the reporters and media present, and they just wanted to see such a smell of gunpowder, because this is the excitement and the fans can feel the blood boiling.

For Tottenham Hotspur's away reversal of Dortmund, almost all the media after the game put the credit on Ye Qiu, believing that Ye Qiu's adjustment at halftime pulled Tottenham Hotspur at a critical moment, brought the team out of the quagmire, and played a key reversal.

Tottenham Hotspur players also repeatedly emphasized in media interviews after the game that the reason why the team was able to turn around was because of the targeted arrangements made by the manager at halftime, especially Messi.

When the reporter asked about Messi's position and role change in the second half, the Argentine mentioned that this was the manager's deliberate arrangement at halftime, and he absolutely obeyed the team's arrangement, and also said that he was very happy to see Ribery score a hat-trick, because he and Ribery are very good friends.

"I want to correct a lot of people's statement, Tottenham Hotspur's tactics are not ten players plus one Messi, but eleven players including Messi, I support the team unconditionally, as long as it is good for the team, as long as it can help the team win, it doesn't matter if I play as a defender, I mean it

Messi had obviously expected that there would definitely be media hype after the game that Ribery would score a hat-trick, while Messi did not score a single goal, and even the first half was sluggish, which made the Argentine take a precautionary shot.

As for a reporter who asked about the news that Ye Qiu had mentioned that he was going to retire, Messi said that this was not new.

'We got the news early in the dressing room, he never hid anything from us and he told us that he was going to be with us at Stratford, which I think is really good, but as for the future, it's not something we should think about.'

In fact, it is already known from the whole team that Mauro Tasotti will take over the team after Ye Qiu's retirement, which can be seen from his increasing control of first-team training and day-to-day affairs, Ye Qiu's purpose is to keep Tottenham Hotspur stable.

To build a wealthy club, it is not enough to rely on a certain period of glory, what is needed is long-term glory.

It's like the Nottingham Forest back then, how brilliant and unbeatable, but then? No then

So, who still remembers Nottingham Forest today?

Ye Qiu's choice of Mauro Tassotti actually has player considerations, because when he communicates with some players, Roland O's personality is more respected by players, but the problem is that as a manager, you can't get too close to the players and get too close to them.

One of the most important reasons why Guardiola wants to leave Barcelona is to get rid of a series of emotional bonds in Barcelona circles, which is like the leader of a company, he can't be too close to his subordinates, because it will make him feel very difficult to deal with some interpersonal relationships.

The manager too, when you have a good relationship with a player, when you need to make a choice and arrange a player to play, can you have the courage to take the player who has a good relationship with you?

It's like Pep Guardiola, he didn't dare to take Xavi, take Iniesta, take Puyol and others.

But the relationship between the manager and the players should not be too distant, and it is not good to be estranged.

In Ye Qiu's observation, Mauro Tasotti has done a good job in handling the relationship with the players, not close or estranged, businesslike, not to people, which has earned him respect within the team and can control this group of players.

On the other hand, Roland O Shepas, he is indeed very close to the players, and the improvement and accumulation over the years, in terms of training and handling the internal affairs of the team, etc., his ability has also improved very quickly, basically he can handle big and small things well, but he is not majestic enough, he can't control the players at critical moments, and he is also a weakness in terms of tactics.

So after Ye Qiu's careful consideration, Mauro Tasotti served as the head coach of the team, Roland O Shepas assisted from the side, and the coaching staff in the team basically stayed in the team, so the problem would not be very big.

From Liverpool's boot culture that created the Reds Liverpool who swept the Europa League at their peak, to the legacy of all managers in Ajax's long history of coming from within the team, and like Capello was also an assistant coach from Sacchi, all of this proves that the choice of a manager is not based on his background and qualifications, but on whether he is suitable.

Ye Qiu knows very well that after he leaves, the most important thing facing Tottenham Hotspur is stability, and Mauro Tasotti can provide Tottenham Hotspur with this stability, and he himself has quite excellent tactical understanding, plus he is very familiar with Tottenham Hotspur's system, so he is the best candidate.

But before the team has officially announced it, no one in the player or the team will take the initiative to disclose this information.

After Tottenham Hotspur's away reversal of Dortmund, Ye Qiu once again became the focus and object of all newspapers and media hype, and his on-the-spot adaptation in this game, especially the adjustment at halftime, won everyone's appreciation and affirmation.

But in this way, the media also began to hype another thing, that is, once Ye Qiu leaves the team, what will Tottenham Hotspur do? Who can be Ye Qiu's successor?

I have to admire the European media, when they caught a news and began to hype up a news, they immediately rushed up, one after another, one hype after another, and some people even began to list the selection of Ye Qiu's successor, such as Guardiola, Mauro Tarsottti, Roland O Shepas, De Boer, Adrianse and Laudrup, etc., and some people even think that Mourinho is also very likely to change jobs.

It's like Ye Qiu also came to Tottenham Hotspur from Chelsea back then, so who can say that Mourinho is impossible?

For this reason, there were really reporters who went to interview Mourinho, and when the Portuguese was interviewed, he actually smiled and said that if Ye Qiu called him in person to invite him, he would consider it very seriously.

So, soon, the news that Mourinho was going to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur also spread all at once, and many Tottenham Hotspur protested, believing that the arrival of the Portuguese would change the tradition of Tottenham Hotspur's attacking football.

But soon, Mourinho said, "My philosophy of football is not conservative, I am just utilitarian, but I always thought that Tottenham Hotspur could win more honours and titles if their tactical style was a little more utilitarian"

When the Portuguese said this, it suddenly gave people a feeling as if he was really coming to Tottenham Hotspur, but in fact, people who really knew him knew that this was almost unlikely, unless, as he said, Ye Qiu personally called him and said some soft words, but did Ye Qiu do this?

Among the many candidates for Ye Qiu's successor, Adrianse can be among them, relying on his excellent performance in Southampton, he has brought this traditional English team out of the style of attacking football, and is known as the most attacking team in England besides Tottenham Hotspur, and it is also the most Dutch team.

Adrianse's tactical concept is very similar to Ye Qiu's, both of them are also from Ajax, and they have both been influenced by Michels's full attack and defense, and their tactics and training level are quite good, so Adrianse's successor to Ye Qiu has also become a very popular candidate for many fans, and Adrianse's takeover of Southampton was also Ye Qiu's recommendation.

With this layer of relationship, Adrianse has become a popular candidate.

So in the ninth round of the English League, Tottenham Hotspur's away challenge to Southampton has become a test in the eyes of many people.

Not to mention, Adrianse's game with Tottenham Hotspur was in full swing, and the two sides contributed 42 shots on goal throughout the game, including as many as 12 shots on target, but the two sides ended up in a draw.

The game was almost unreservedly fast-paced, and both the fans at the scene and the live TV viewers were carried away and addicted, but it only scored two goals.

Tottenham had a total of 23 shots on goal but only seven on target, while Southampton had 19 shots and five on target, and both sides played very well, averaging one shot in just over two minutes, which shows how excited the fans are to watch.

Tottenham Hotspur's young Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who spent time at Southampton on loan, saved at least two of Tottenham's must-score chances in the game, and without his high block and low receiver, Tottenham Hotspur would never have scored just one goal in seven shots on target.

But Cech's appearance is not bad, although he was also scored by Southampton, but Cech also defused the Saints' many attacks, and his ability to command the back line to defend makes the Czech goalkeeper very general-like, which Courtois does not have, but everyone does not doubt that it is Courtois's excellent performance that stimulates Cech.

Although it was a draw, the first of the season for Tottenham, and the winning streak was stopped, Tottenham Hotspur's table was still positive, at least in this way, and no one could say anything.

Southampton is currently ranked fifth in the UK, ranking even higher than Arsenal and other teams, Adrianse is also famous, and the recent contact with the title of Ye Qiu's successor has made the Dutchman faintly promoted to the ranks of Europe's first-class managers.

It is worth mentioning that Lucas Mora and Coutinho are very impressive in Southampton, and the two Brazilian internationals have shown surprising progress and strength, and now one has become the attacking core of the Saints' frontcourt, and the other has become the organizational core of Southampton's midfield, which has attracted the attention of many big teams.

On the contrary, it was the other two players, Chambers and Will Hughes, the former who had a good table last season and a decent this season, while Will Hughes came off the bench several times and scored a goal, but did not have an impressive table.

This is not surprising, after all, both players are not very old.

After Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Norwich City with a full squad of substitutes and young players.

It was the last 16 knockout round of the League Cup, and Tottenham Hotspur beat Norwich City 1 away to advance to the quarter-finals.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur sat at the White Hart Lane stadium, although Ye Qiu was on the bench, including Messi, Ribery and other main players, but still with Hazzard's shot and two assists, Cavani, Phil Jones and substitute Drogba goals, 41 defeated Wigan Athletic.

In this battle, Ye Qiu obviously stayed strong, and the purpose was undoubtedly for the group stage of the fourth leg of the Champions League in midweek.

This time, Ye Qiu wants to give Dortmund a big surprise at home, the humiliation and blow suffered by Yixue two weeks ago.
