The weather was surprisingly cold this day The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down from the top of the head at any time, which made people feel depressed.
The monsoon wind blowing from the southwest is not strong, but it is very sharp.
It hits a person's body like a knife and penetrates all the way into the clothes, making people feel a chill all over their body.
Jurgen Klopp was walking on the streets of Dortmund.
When he passed the corner, the wind swept past him.
It was a bit cold.
He couldn't help shivering.
He quickly pressed down the yellow Dortmund fan hat on his head and put his hands into the pockets of his sweater. ,move on.
At this point in time, people in this city are either at work or still sleeping.
In short, it is difficult to see people on the street.
Occasionally, people who passed by were in such a hurry that no one recognized this slovenly middle-aged man as the head coach of Dortmund.
But Klopp had a feeling that if someone recognized him, they might scold him.
Because just last night, Dortmund was sitting at their home court, but was beaten 1 to 2 by Atletico Madrid, who was playing away.
This was obviously not an easy score for Dortmund to accept.
But he and his players have tried their best Sometimes, he really wants to scold certain fans because they are completely unreasonable.
Yes, in the minds of some fans, there is no reason at all, only demands.
That's winning They would not have thought that after Dortmund sent away two generals Gotze and Reus in one summer, and the team suffered heavy losses, Dortmund's reaching the semi-finals was already considered the limit.
What else could they want?
They will not accept it even more.
When the team is suffering from numerous injuries and the players are demoralized, how can they expect the team to continue to maintain its strength in the league in the past few seasons?
The most important thing for Klopp's team is cohesion and trust But now, Gotze and Reus are gone, and Lewandowski is also leaving.
How can there be any cohesion?
One moment, Klopp had sworn that Reus would never leave, but the next second, the management officially announced that Reus had switched to the wealthy team Tottenham Hotspur.
How could there be any trust at all?
This is a fucking season It will also be Klopp's last season in this city.
He lowered his head and walked forward step by step.
Pass by the aromatic bakery, pass by the closed coffee shop, and arrive at the crossroads.
Opposite is the largest sporting goods mall in the center of Dortmund I still remember that when Klopp first coached the Hornets, the team was at a low point.
In this shopping mall, the price of a Dortmund jersey dropped to less than 20 euros, and still no one cared about it.
But in the past few seasons, in this mall, the Hornets' jerseys and fan supplies have always been sold out, and the supply exceeds demand, even at the branch in Dusseldorf.
When the owner of this shopping mall met Klopp, he once joked that the citizens of Dusseldorf were hungry for Dortmund jerseys and fan supplies far more than Apple's tablet computers.
This makes Klopp proud But now, all this will be far away from him The league has climbed up step by step from the relegation zone and returned to the mid-table.
But for Dortmund, who was still talking about winning the championship two years ago, the mid-table is already a completely unacceptable bad result.
Now, even the Champions League may be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Klopp sighed heavily.
His final season at Dortmund is likely to be nothing left.
Maybe even the fans who have supported him in the past few years have now chosen to abandon him.
Standing at the corner of the intersection, looking at the sports goods mall opposite that was not open yet, Klopp couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
He didn't wake up until his cell phone rang.
When he took it out, he saw that it was his agent Mark Kosik.
"Hey, Mark" Klopp answered the phone.
"You didn't go to Brackell this morning?"
Mark Kosik asked.
Brackel is home to Dortmund's training base.
"No, the team has a day off this morning.

They have been under too much pressure recently," Klopp said.
"Well, are you free now?"
Klopp frowned a little strangely, "What's the matter?"
"Do you still remember that I mentioned to you before that Serie A side Inter Milan once contacted me and asked if you were willing to go to Serie A to coach?"
"Well" Klopp certainly remembers that Inter Milan was the first person to extend an invitation to him after he announced his resignation from Dortmund.
"Their boss came to Dortmund in person" "What?"
Klopp was a little surprised.
It's just a matter of picking a coach, but the boss actually takes charge of it himself.
Even though Klopp always felt that he was very important, he was still a little surprised.
Because in front of the big boss, coaches like them are nothing.
When have you ever seen the boss personally come forward to hire a head coach?
It would be nice to just make a phone call and communicate with him for a few words.
"The owner of Inter Milan, who is also the owner of Atlético Madrid, was at the Estadio West last night."
"oh"
This time Klopp suddenly realized it.
But I still felt a little flattered, after all, the boss came forward in person.
"How do you want to see me?"
Mark Kosik asked.
But soon, he added, "I think they are very sincere and the conditions are quite good."
This last sentence made Klopp a little tempted.
Although he has repeatedly spoken harshly and even faced provocations from Bayern Munich executives many times, he has repeatedly stated that he is happy to lead the Diaosi team to counterattack Gao Fushuai.
But let me ask, who doesn’t want to have better coaching resources?
Just like now, if Dortmund has enough resources in all aspects, or does not need to be high, as long as it is not short of money in terms of finance, will Gotze and Reus still leave?
In the past few years, the team that I have worked hard to build and run has always been torn apart during summer transfers, and core players such as Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, and Reus have been sent away one after another.
Ask yourself, no matter how good and outstanding Klopp is, he can’t help but poaching like this for many years.
Mark Kosik on the other side of the phone felt the hesitation in Klopp's silence, "Jurgen, I know that your original plan was to take a rest and increase yourself, but I think this may be a time Chance."
"What do you mean?"
Klopp asked again.
"Don't you always want to visit Bielsa's training and have a good communication with Bielsa?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then you should go and meet him, because the person who wants to meet you is the boss of Southampton."
"What?"
Klopp was immediately shocked.
I have to say, he is a very weird football guy.
The news that Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and other teams have the same owner is no longer a secret in the inner circle of European professional football.
Klopp will know if he inquires a little bit. .
But unfortunately, Dortmund's head coach is simply a guy who only focuses on the team and doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window.
"You mean, these teams have the same owner" "Yes" Mark Kosik on the other side of the phone should be sweating.
You don’t even know this, how can you get into professional football?
"Southampton has always attached great importance to coaching and tactics.
As you mentioned before, regularly inviting famous coaches to communicate is just one of them.
As for Bielsa's tactical attainments, you also know that Guardiola and Simeone are deeply aware of it.
Influenced by him.”
This is why Klopp is so eager to communicate with Bielsa and visit Southampton training.
Guardiola is his enemy in the Bundesliga this season, and Simeone has just given him a blow in the Champions League.

The apprentices are so outstanding, will the master's realm be even higher?
Moreover, Bielsa has always been like a legendary outsider.
"Right."
Mark Kosik suddenly thought of something.
"Inter Milan sent me a piece of information before.
I put it in your home.
Have you read it?"
As an agent, he knew very well that when Klopp went to meet Yang Huan, he was somewhat interested in applying for the job.
Everyone who has ever applied for a job knows that you must first understand the position you are about to apply for and the background of the recruiting company.
Therefore, he had to give a reminder.
"See," Klopp replied.
"The problems of the Inter Milan team are very serious.
Mazzarri has tried his best, but many things cannot be solved and done by trying his best.
However, I also feel that Inter Milan is also quite supportive of Mazzarri, but" Sometimes, the club and the coach are like a marriage.
If they agree on each other, they will definitely be able to grow old together.
The key is that there are too many unpredictable things that will happen.
Neither Mazzarri nor Inter Milan are insincere.
This can be seen from the fact that the two parties negotiated in advance and broke up peacefully this season.
In order to improve Mazzarri's reputation, Inter Milan's external rhetoric was that Mazzarri took the initiative to resign.
It can only be said that Mazzarri is indeed not suitable for Inter Milan "Then what do you think?"
Mark Kosik asked with concern.
Before negotiating, he must first understand the bargaining chips he holds, so that he can have the capital to negotiate.
"With the current lineup and strength of Inter Milan, if they perform normally, there will be no problem in the top three in the league.
Moreover, their lineup is very young.
In the long run, they have great potential for development."
After a pause, Klopp continued: "But the biggest problem with this team right now is cohesion and lack of mutual trust, so whoever is in charge of Inter Milan must face this big problem."
The two elements of cohesion and trust cannot be established overnight.
But if it's destruction, it's much easier.
This is the world, construction is always harder than destruction "Are you sure?"
Mark Kosik asked again.
Klopp obviously hesitated and thought for a moment, "I don't know."
"have no idea" "If someone asked me, I would definitely say, there must be, but sometimes, if the head coach wants to achieve results, it is not enough to rely on the coaching staff and players alone, but also depends on the management and the business philosophy of the entire club. " "you mean" "If Inter Milan just wants to stay in the top three of the league and guarantee the Champions League like Napoli and Roma, then I have no interest in this team."
When Klopp said these words, he was very determined and very sure.
With his current reputation and status in European football, he will definitely not allow himself to coach a team without ambition.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Mark Kosik on the other side of the phone burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Klopp was a little surprised.
"Nothing."
Mark Kosik was still smiling.
"It's just that I remembered what Yang Huan once said when Inter Milan's football director Branca called me."
"What are you talking about?"
Klopp asked with interest.
The key is that Yang Huan is too mysterious in European football.
"He said that Inter Milan is looking for a head coach who can be based on long-term development and lead the Nerazzurri to the peak of history, rather than just seeking a flash in the pan like in 2010, so this time , they are very cautious” very cautious chose me Even the boss comes to talk in person In the cold streets of Dortmund, Klopp once again felt the warmth of being valued
