Chapter 742: Unsolvable Puzzle


Perhaps, no one will know how much Yang Huan's words touched Klopp.

He's not a great professional player.

On the contrary, the most glorious resume in his career was playing 325 Bundesliga games for Mainz.

This is the highest record in Mainz's history, and it still remains to this day.

The most profound influence on Klopp was the head coach of Mainz at the time, Wolfgang Frank, who is still coaching the second division and is not well-known even in Germany.

But Wolfgang Frank's influence on Klopp was very profound.

Even many Mainz players at that time have now become professional coaches.

A very important reason is that Wolfgang Frank admired Sacchi very much. .

A very important training program in Mainz at that time was to watch the games and training videos of Sacchi and his team.

One scene that impressed Klopp particularly deeply was when Sacchi asked the players to practice running without the ball on a training ground full of poles.

This seemed to many people to be simply boring and very boring.

But this is just the surface.

If you continue to watch, keep watching, and watch dozens, a hundred, or five hundred times, you will slowly figure out some of the mysteries and understand Saki.

A lot of football theory.

It is these videos that established Klopp's coaching philosophy today.

It was at that time that Klopp realized the beauty of tactics.

Everything is possible on the football field.

Even if your opponent is stronger than you, you can use effective tactics to limit your opponent's strength to the same level as you and defeat them in one fell swoop.

Another considerable influence Wolfgang Frank had on Klopp was learning.

He believes that every head coach, even his own defeated players, has something worth learning from.

But learning is not about imitating, but to improve yourself and find a path that is more suitable for you.

It can be said that Wolfgang Frank, although he does not have a prominent reputation in German football and even his coaching resume is not impressive, he has had an extremely profound impact on Klopp.

But unfortunately, he passed away last year But his various influences in the past gave Klopp an impulse.

That is, he is eager to go to Serie A, to the league where Sacchi once created brilliantly, to experience Italian football firsthand.

He firmly believes that he can get more nutrients from it, thereby enriching and improving his coaching level.

However, before that, he still had a knot in his mind.

So, when he raised his head again and looked at Yang Huan, he hesitated and asked.

"Mr.

Yang Huan, I have a question that may be a bit presumptuous, but I still hope you can answer it."

Klopp's tone was full of respect, without any provocation.

What Yang Huan said just now completely convinced Klopp that the rumors from the outside were not wrong at all.

Yang Huan was not the kind of layman who only knew how to spend money and knew nothing about football.

On the contrary, he knows football very well and how to run a team.

"Please tell me," Yang Huan smiled without hesitation.

"Have you ever known Dortmund now?"

After Yang Huan nodded, indicating that he understood, Klopp continued to ask.

"Then I would like to ask, how do you think Dortmund's current predicament can be solved?"

Yang Huan frowned immediately after hearing this question, because this question was not as simple as it seemed.

Dortmund's current problem can be said to be simple or complex.

To put it simply, Dortmund has problems both offensively and defensively.

In the past few years, Klopp's so-called heavy metal tactics, which use high pressure to win frontcourt possession and counterattack opportunities, require very high physical fitness of the players and cause considerable losses.

Needless to say, injuries and so on, what is even more terrifying is the psychological slack.

No one can maintain this high-pressure state for a long time, so sooner or later, this tactic will cause problems.

The transfers of Gotze and Reus are just leads.

The real problems have been buried in the past few years.

For Dortmund, there are two options.

One is to keep Klopp and reorganize the team.

But the problem is that now there are problems with offense and defense at the same time, which is quite troublesome.

Because Klopp’s tactics are very integrated, defense starts from the front line, and offense starts from the back line.

So the question is, is there a problem in which link or is it all going wrong?

If you want to reorganize, you have to have a direction, right?

Is it because the offense in the frontcourt is weak and the cohesion is greatly reduced, making it more difficult for the midfielder to handle the ball, making it easier for the opponent to steal the ball and then counterattack, which in turn makes the defense vulnerable?

In other words, poor defense cannot provide strong support to the midfield and frontcourt, which in turn affects the operation of the midfield, causing the frontcourt offense to become very unsmooth.

I'm afraid this has become a chicken-and-egg or an egg-laying dilemma with no solution.

And to put it another way, what if Klopp is kept?

If he continues to use this high-pressure tactics, the team will not fundamentally change.

Does this mean that in two or three years, what happened this season will happen again?

Then we will start reorganizing In the same way, if Klopp changes his tactics, let alone whether he can play well, even if he can play well, what will happen to the current group of players on the team?

At that time, layoffs and recruitment will still be unavoidable, and it will still have to be done.

Therefore, Dortmund's second choice is much more natural.

That is to retain the current group of players and send Klopp away.

Although it is a bit cruel to do so, this is professional football "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Yang Huan asked, almost staring into Klopp's eyes.

Klopp blurted out, "the truth" without any hesitation.

"Then I can tell you that if it were me, in such a dilemma, there is no doubt that the cost of firing the head coach is the lowest, so I would choose this."

As soon as Yang Huan said these words, the expressions of almost everyone in the audience changed.

Klopp became a little frustrated, his agent was a little embarrassed, and Cash Harris, Marco Blanco and Ausilio looked at Master Huan in surprise, not understanding why he said that It has to be so direct.

Only Long Wu was still sitting aside, head buried, playing games on his mobile phone.

Yang Huan had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and knew it well.

He is inspecting Klopp, so why aren’t the Germans inspecting him?

We are all adults, and being a head coach is just a job.

There is no way to say that anyone is more noble than anyone else.

If you want to hire a famous coach, you have to at least make people like you, right?

"Of course," Yang Huan changed the topic, "If it were me, I would never let my team fall into this predicament, because I never think that decisions made in dilemmas are very smart. , it’s just a matter of how much loss I will lose, which I have always tried my best to avoid.”

After a pause, Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It may be a bit boastful to say it, but I told Simeone after acquiring Atletico Madrid a year ago that Atletico Madrid must transform."

These words immediately made Klopp’s eyes light up.

In the past, Atletico Madrid's tactics in the early days of Simeone's coaching were very similar to Dortmund's.

However, in the past two years, Atletico Madrid has successively introduced a number of young rookies and powerful stars.

For example, midfielders Isco, Illarramendi, Claci and other players have gradually taken on important responsibilities in the team, gradually replacing Atletico Madrid.

Than, Mario Suarez and other midfield players.

Otamendi also became the main force in the defense, but like Miranda, he gradually lost his position.

The same is true on the front line, with Mandzukic's position gradually being replaced by players like Diego Costa and Tevez.

And Simeone also made subtle arrangements and adjustments in specific tactics.

This made Atletico Madrid players adopt high-pressure pressing tactics, but they were unable to do anything in terms of defensive positioning, overall movement or passing support.

Obviously better, and often even made exquisite tactical coordination.

If Klopp had always thought it was Simeone's fault before, now he understands.

It turns out that behind the rise of Atletico Madrid is Yang Huan’s foresight.

"We Chinese have a saying that is too strong and easy to break.

It means that the best and most ideal state is a combination of hardness and softness.

Try to achieve a delicate balance between toughness and flexibility.

This is a art" Yang Huan's last words filled Klopp's heart with sadness.

At least, Dortmund's management does not have the foresight and foresight of Yang Huan.

They are now thinking more about financial issues Many people outside don't know what's going on and think Dortmund's management is very good.

But as an insider, Klopp knows better than anyone else that Dortmund's management is fucked up more than anyone else.

Why did Gotze leave?

Why did Reus leave?

Why did Lewandowski leave?

Because there is no hope in Dortmund When the team reached the Champions League final, the management promised to give them a salary increase, but what happened?

No plan has been given yet Lewandowski wanted to renew his contract last season, but the management always refused to meet Lewandowski's salary requirements, citing the team's financial difficulties.

In Klopp's view, Lewandowski's request is not excessive.

Does the team have no money?

In the season when they reached the Champions League final, Dortmund's revenue exceeded 300 million euros, and its net profit exceeded 50 million.

How could it be possible that they had no money?

Moreover, the team does not have any big debts now, and now it is negotiating with Puma to sell part of its shares to Puma, which will raise at least over 100 million yuan.

How can it be possible that it has no money?

If there is really no money, why do Watzke and other club management offer themselves bonuses of more than 1.5 million euros, of which Watzke even exceeds 2 million euros?

Why?

In the final analysis, as a listed company, Dortmund's management only represents the interests of shareholders.

Instead of investing in the team, they continue to withdraw funds that should have been used to strengthen the team.

As for where those funds went, who knows?

At this moment, in Klopp’s eyes, compared with Yang Huan, Dortmund’s management team is really I'm afraid only the fans who are kept in the dark will think how wise they are.

Little did they know, they were vampires lying on the team.

Thinking of this, Klopp closed his eyes and thought about some issues very carefully and seriously.

Yang Huan also waited patiently.

He knew that this was the minimum demeanor.

Whether Klopp agrees or not, he must have this demeanor.

And he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

He has already booked a flight south to Munich this afternoon.

Because tonight, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Southampton will challenge Bayern Munich away.

This is also the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals Atletico Madrid has successfully defeated Dortmund in an away game and has one foot in the Champions League final.

Yang Huan naturally hopes that Southampton can create another miracle and defeat Bayern Munich and enter the Champions League final.

In this way, when his two teams meet in the Champions League final, no matter who wins or loses, there will be no difference to him, it's just a matter of left hand and right hand.

It was when Yang Huan was smiling longingly that Klopp opened his eyes.

It seems that he has the answer:
