Because he had just finished a game with Udinese the day before yesterday, Klopp replaced Han Ning at the beginning of the second half.

Hannover 96 did not pose much of a threat to Borussia Dortmund, and the match ended 2-0.

The next day, two major events happened in Chinese football!

Hao Junmin joined the Schalke 04 club and is about to arrive in Germany to sign the agreement.

However, due to the restrictions of the transfer period, it is not possible to sign a formal player contract for the time being, and cannot appear on the pitch, and it is necessary to wait until the winter break transfer window opens to sign a player contract.

The second major event is that the Chinese Football Association officially announced that it has finalized the candidate for the next head coach of the national football team, Gao Hongbo.

Klopp was very surprised to find Gao Hongbo after learning the news and said: "Gao, why didn't you tell me before that you were the head coach of the Chinese national football team?!" Oh my God, aren't you going to rob Han Ning from me in the future?! You can't do that! Dortmund FC can't live without Han Ning! ”

Whenever a player has an official match for the national team, the club needs to release him unconditionally.

This is very unpleasant for the club's manager.

As long as a player goes to the national team to compete, it means that there will be a lot of risks.

Fatigue, injuries, ups and downs in form, etc., will affect the club's results.

The most terrifying thing is that a player like Han Ning has to cross the ocean, which is definitely a torture for the player's mental state, and it is possible to be in a slump for a month or two after returning to the club.

Of course, Han Ning naturally didn't need to worry about this matter, as long as he trained in the system all night, he would definitely be full of energy when he woke up the next morning.

Gao Hongbo said to Klopp with a smile: "The news is not certain before. But don't worry, except for very important friendly matches and official matches, I will definitely not recruit Han Ning back easily. ”

Hearing Gao Hongbo's answer, Klopp nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Han Ning had already communicated with Gao Hongbo about this issue.

In the next period of time, there are not many official competition tasks for the national team, and Han Ning really has no need to bump back and forth for one or two dispensable friendly matches.

Including Hao Junmin, who has just transferred to Schalke 04, is the same.

After many Chinese players stayed abroad, they finally played well in the team, got some growth, and won a little status, but they were recruited by the national team to play some dispensable games, which led to all the efforts he had made before in vain. I have to work hard again when I get back to the club.

This is one of the reasons why many players end up failing to play and returning home in disgrace.

Gao Hongbo stayed in Germany for nearly one month, during which Dortmund played a total of five games, of which the game with Werder Bremen was the most exciting, the two sides scored 3-3 on aggregate, Werder Bremen played bravely throughout the game, on par with Dortmund, and even led Dortmund by one goal with ten minutes left before the end of the game. In the end, with a long-range shot from Han Ning, it hit the defender's calf and refracted and luckily entered the net.

The three league games against Hertha Berlin, Cologne and Bochum were all easy wins, and Han Ning has scored four goals in these four games, maintaining a one-goal streak and currently topping the Bundesliga Golden Boot rankings with 17 goals.

At the same time, Dortmund's standings have also stabilized in first place, with a total of eight wins, one draw and two losses in 11 Bundesliga games, accumulating 25 points, three points higher than second-place Bayern Munich.

It can be said that both Han Ning's individual results and Dortmund's overall results are very good, and Gao Hongbo also excitedly returned to China with some experience learned from Germany to sign a contract as the head coach of the national football team.

The only pity was the third round of the German Cup, which was decided to give up after the club and Klopp studied and discussed.

The team is currently playing very well in the Bundesliga and will be hoping to secure a Champions League place next season.

You must know that being able to play in the Champions League is not only a great attraction for the players, but also very eager for Dortmund, who are currently in a very poor financial situation.

The further you can go in the Champions League, the more money the team will get!

And the European League Cup is naturally reluctant to give up. Although the money is not as much as in the Champions League, it can be regarded as one of the best.

With Dortmund's current team configuration, it is impossible to fight on three fronts, and one of them must be abandoned.

No matter how you look at it, the German Cup is not an important award compared to the other two.

So in the third round of the German Cup, in the match with Cologne, Klopp simply put the academy team on the pitch and lost the game cleanly.

But then, Hanning and Dortmund will face new challenges.

The draw for the group stage of the UEFA Cup has ended, and Dortmund's group stage opponents can be described as very strong!

Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League, Spark Moscow from Russia, Dinamo Zagreb from Croatia, Nijmegen from the Netherlands.

Among them, Tottenham Hotspur and Spark Moscow are both able to win the group qualifiers. Dinamo Zagreb's strength should not be underestimated. That is, Nijmegen can be a little easier to bully.

However, the group stage of the UEFA Cup is a single round-robin format, with each team having two home and two away games. In the end, the top three teams in the group advance to the next round.

This means that there are many uncertainties in the game, and every game needs to go all out to fight.

And Dortmund's first opponent in the group stage of the UEFA Cup is Tottenham Hotspur, which looks the most powerful!

Last season's Premier League Cup triumph brought a tense atmosphere to Borussia Dortmund's entire club, from the coaching staff to the players.

Only Han Ning didn't care at all.

He knows that this season, although Tottenham Hotspur seems to be very strong, sometimes they can play like a nerve knife in the Premier League, play bravely against strong teams, and peck at each other against weak teams.

But this season's Tottenham Hotspur is known as the century-old club, the worst start in history!

It wasn't until halfway through the season that the team's performance gradually improved after the change of head coach.

Therefore, in Han Ning's view, there is really no great difficulty in qualifying for the group stage of the UEFA Cup. His mentality looks very different from that of his teammates.

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, under the nervous looks of his teammates, Han Ning passed the football back to the midfield, and then quickly moved forward alone.
