While Zhou Yi was speaking calmly to his team-mates in the dressing room about his ambitions, Borussia Dortmund's manager Jurgen Klopp was also talking to his colleagues about his thoughts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I think I may have made a mistake all along......" Klopp's opening remarks surprised everyone, as they looked at each other and then turned their eyes to Klopp with doubt.

Klopp, with his head down, seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't say it right away, but kept his head down in silence.

There was silence for a few seconds before he suddenly looked up and continued: "I always thought that this season was over. At least in the league, we can't pose a threat to Bayern Munich, they're too strong, they're too consistent......"

Klopp's remarks frightened the Dortmund coach who was doing it -- Dortmund's head coach actually conceded defeat in advance? If this is known to the media, the outside world does not know how much of a storm it will set off......

They looked at each other, and if they had seen it in the media in the future, who would have leaked what they heard today?

"But yesterday's game showed me something that I had been ignoring all along...... I used to think that our team had lost the desire for titles and wins after three consecutive seasons of league titles. But I saw from yesterday's game that the players are still hungry for victory. So I thought maybe I was wrong...... Our players haven't given up yet, and I can't give up at this time......"

Speaking of which, Klopp said: "I'm going to tell them what I think now, and I'm going to redefine our goal for the season, which is still to fight for the title. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, we also have to do more work, especially the team doctor. ”

He looked at Dr. Braun, "We need to add one more person to the medical team to the dugout. ”

Dr. Braun didn't even think about it, and immediately gave a candidate: "Of course it's Cortana, with her on the bench, I think Zhou Yi's performance level can be five to ten percent higher." ”

When he said this, everyone laughed.

The relationship between Zhou Yi and Cortana is not a secret, and the team will joke about it from time to time.

Klopp also laughed: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

When the players arrived at the training ground and prepared for training, they saw that the manager Jurgen Klopp and the entire coaching staff were also in place, and everyone looked at each other in surprise - they were not late......

"Let's warm up first. Klopp waved his hand.

Everyone was concentrating on warming up with their heads down, but the doubts in their hearts were getting stronger and stronger, because they felt that the atmosphere was indeed different from usual......

After the warm-up, the players stood in a circle and faced manager Jurgen Klopp.

They knew Klopp must have something to say.

"First of all, congratulations, boys. Your game against Werder Bremen was fantastic. With a pleasing attack and control of the situation, the score is the best reward for everyone. Second, I want to apologize to you. ”

As soon as Klopp's words came out, everyone was shocked.

The first half of the sentence, congratulations on winning the victory, can still be understood. What the hell is this sudden apology?

The doubts in the hearts of many people are even stronger.

"I apologize to you. I didn't trust you very much until then...... Yes, we've had ups and downs this season and we've had serious injuries...... We are also at a disadvantage in the league competition now...... There was so much bad news that I wanted to give up the league at one point. But watching your match against Werder Bremen, I realized my mistake – my team didn't give up, it was me who wanted to give up. So I need to apologize to you. ”

After listening to Klopp's words, the players were still shocked, and they didn't know what to say at all, so they looked at Klopp in silence.

"So now I want to reiterate to you our goal for this season - to win the league!

One of the players came to his senses and burst out laughing.

At such a serious moment, someone suddenly laughs, and it cannot but attract attention.

Assistant coach Bwach looked up: "Do you have any ideas, Kevin?"

Grosskreutz hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no...... I just think it's a coincidence......"

"Coincidentally?" asked Bouácchi.

"Just now in the locker room, Zhou Yi said something similar...... "Grosskreutz successfully kicked the football towards Zhou Yi.

At this time, the eyes of the coaching staff members were all focused on Zhou Yi.

In front of everyone, Zhou Yi had no choice but to stand up and explain to the coaches: "I just said that this season's league championship, I don't want to give up ...... yet"

Klopp smiled, Zhou Yi had told him this before. However, he was still hesitant at that time, and he only took Zhou Yi's words into consideration, but he didn't really plan to do so.

Unexpectedly, when he was hesitating, Zhou Yi was very determined to move towards this goal.

Think about Zhou Yi's performance after the winter break is over.

One game is harder than the other.

Although he doesn't have any grandiose words, he is proving his words with practical actions.

"Very well, since we both have the same goal, then things will be easy. Klopp clapped his hands. "I think all of you know how difficult it is for us to win the title this season. Although we are only four points behind Bayern Munich, we have suffered serious injuries this season, and in terms of rotation, we can't maintain the same level as last season, and there are players in some positions who will have to play more games and put more pressure. But since we all have the same goal, it's just a matter of moving towards that goal. Now, let's start training!"

Now that the goal is to win the league, the next German Cup will definitely have to be abandoned.

At this time, Zhou Yi had no opinion at all about giving up the German Cup.

So on February 11, in the quarterfinals of the German Cup, Dortmund lost 1:2 away to Eintracht Frankfurt and stopped in the quarterfinals of the German Cup again.

They had just won 5-1 against Werder Bremen in the league and lost against Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Cup.

As a result, criticism of Dortmund is still flooding the media.

In the opinion of these experts, Dortmund should not be expected to win the league this season. Even if they have just won against Werder Bremen, even if they are only four points behind Bayern Munich. With such a consistent performance by Bayern Munich, it will be even more difficult for Dortmund to turn the tables around.

And the German Cup is Dortmund's only option to avoid being empty-handed this season. Performing well in the German Cup and winning a German Cup is also a consolation to Dortmund's poor season......

Now, however, Dortmund have buried that hope with their own hands – they have fielded a large number of young players and substitutes for the game against Eintracht Frankfurt. It is clear from this personnel change that Klopp has in mind, and he has given up on the German Cup.

"It's just unwise!", a journalist criticized on social networks.

"Maybe Jurgen Klopp was carried away by Borussia Dortmund's 5-1 win over Werder Bremen. Know that the game was atypical and didn't have any reference value. Borussia Dortmund have not played a handful of games this season. There are a lot of ups and downs in performance, and the league is a long process, and what is needed is the team's consistent performance in the process...... The basis for stable performance does not exist in Dortmund today!"

No one knew that inside Dortmund, after the goal was identified, the machine was already in operation.

Jurgen Klopp has adjusted the content of the training to increase the proportion of physical strength and fitness training to ensure that the players do not fall off the chain due to fitness in the sprint stage of the league, and also reduce the chance of injury.

At the same time, the content of Footbonaut training has also been appropriately increased, which is a training method that allows players to pass and receive the ball quickly. Very much in line with Dortmund's tactics.

Dortmund's outstanding performances in the past two seasons also have a lot to do with this high-tech training equipment.

Yan Min likes this "little black house" very much, he has never experienced such training content in China before. In his opinion, it's just like making a game, it's challenging, and it can be upgraded.

From the very beginning of one person passing the ball in the cage, to adding defenders to interfere with you, from one defender to two defenders, up to three defenders, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Yan Min used to benefit from his boredom and practice dribbling alone in the training ground, and as a result, he developed good dribbling skills. But in comparison, his passing and receiving are like other Chinese players, and he doesn't seem to have much of a problem in training, and once he joins the confrontation, his passing and receiving accuracy is lacking.

Since coming to Dortmund, he has been very interested in this training content, because he knows that it can improve his passing and receiving skills.

And so it is. The outside world was surprised by the progress of Yan Min joining Dortmund, which was indispensable with the help of Footbonaut.
