Green Life

Volume 6 Chapter 7

Last season was fantastic for Klopp and Borussia Dortmund as they finally knocked Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to the ground in the league.

In the third year of coming to Dortmund, Klopp led the team to win the Bundesliga championship that Dortmund had been away for ten years, and more importantly, with his arrival, Dortmund's finances were able to move towards a virtuous circle.

Look at this group of people in Dortmund, you will know Klopp's vision and the means to train players, Gundogan, Perisic, Lewandowski, Gross Kreutz, Gotze, Bender, Kagawa Shinji, Subotic, Hummels, and almost the entire Dortmund first team were promoted or bought after his arrival.

If you carefully study Dortmund's lineup before Klopp, you will find that within 2 years, he has completed a complete renewal of the first team from top to bottom, which can be called a big change.

If you are a Liverpool fan, then you may be more familiar with all this, because this is what happened in the previous life after he entered Liverpool within 2 years, and completed the lineup transformation without spending a penny.

It is also this group of people that created Dortmund's glory during this period, and also supported Dortmund's economy. He cultivated people and Dortmund sold people. This is the way of survival for many Bundesliga teams except Bayern.

So it's a bit too much to say that Klopp is Dortmund's godfather. After all, he didn't stay for a long time, and his performance is slightly inferior to that of Heathfield, but it is not an exaggeration to call him Dortmund's savior.

The "Bumblebee" led by him was like a yellow storm that swept the Bundesliga last season, with the hellish West ***, passionate and wild style of play, and the sideline command style of a heavy metal singer , have shaped Dortmund in this period into a unique landscape in the Bundesliga.

"Arsenal is like a symphony, it's beautiful, but this is not my style of football, I prefer heavy metal, I won't let the team have 80% of the ball every game, and then let all the audience fall asleep", this It was his pre-match commentary against Arsenal in the first Champions League group game.

"When it comes to football, my impression is more of that kind of English football, that is, on a rainy day, everyone screams and screams in the mud with their arms naked, fighting fiercely, and when you finish a game, you are all messed up."

Since then, his nickname of "Heavy Metal Football" has resounded throughout the European continent.

Mark Qin admires Klopp very much, not only because he took charge of Liverpool in his previous life, but also because he likes Klopp's personality and coaching style just from a football point of view.

If placed in China, Klopp is a combination of a classical gentleman and a lunatic. He stubbornly sticks to his own ideas and never compromises easily. This may be a common problem among many Germans.

He is a "Manager" absolutely in the top sequence, not just a head coach. When he comes to a club, he changes all aspects of the entire club, even the culture.

If he can stay in a club for a long time, his achievements will not be inferior to those of Ferguson and Wenger, but as he said: I am an emotional person, I will not stay in a club for so long, it feels wrong Time, I will take the initiative to leave.

Many people are attracted to Klopp because of the football he brings, which is too sexy, the way he treats players, the way he motivates, the way he manages, the way he treats winning and losing, and so on.

It will make you suddenly realize, I will go, this is the football I want!

For the German who has always been known for his rigor and staidness, playing this crazy football style is indeed very different. He is more like Bielsa, the "crazy" godfather inherited from Argentina.

Bielsa has influenced many coaches. Simeone, Pochettino, and perhaps Uncle Klopp are also members of the vast army.

"In my tactical dictionary, defense means failure." This may be Bielsa's most rooted football philosophy.

He is an idealist through and through, although those coaches who are influenced by him but working hard in Europe cannot completely copy his ideas,

But his wild football is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Take the current Dortmund as an example, you will often see that when they attack, sometimes as many as 7 people rush into the penalty area, which is absolutely unimaginable in the dictionary of many coaches.

"The closer you are to the goal, the easier the goal" doesn't just apply to basketball.

And the tenet of these coaches is: Offense is the best defense. If you are suppressed by me and can only defend, you will not have the strength to attack my goal.

Guardiola and Klopp are all loyal supporters of this creed.

The credo of Mourinho and many Italian coaches before is: Come on, you bastard, you will be exhausted. I am not preparing a Snickers bar, but ambushing a sharp knife and a fast horse!

There is no way to say who is good and who is bad. In martial arts, there are Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Iron Cloth Shirts. Even our ancestors regarded Tai Chi as the standard, not to mention the Sunflower Collection.

Just like Jianghu, it is this kind of martial arts with different styles, ah no..., football styles, and the collision between them makes the football world so colorful.

Uncle Klopp brought his "rock philosophy" to Poseidon Square and Calderon.

...

In the first round of the group stage, Atletico Madrid beat Olympiacos 1:0 in the away game, but Dortmund was tied 1:1 by Professor Wen's "I don't know which generation" team at home. From the perspective of the situation, Atletico Madrid occupied the Advantage.

Next, they have two consecutive home games, one against Dortmund this time, and the next against Arsenal. These two home games are the games they must try their best to win, because at Westminster and the Emirates Stadium, the opponents At home, the situation will definitely be unfavorable to them.

Re-entering the Champions League completely made the children of Poseidon in the southwest of Madrid explode with enthusiasm. The tickets were sold out early, not to mention that their opponent this round was the Bundesliga champion last season!

The guy who claims to play the "sexiest" football in the entire Bundesliga.

And the fans of the Hornets are not too far behind. If you go shopping in the past two days, it is very easy to meet fans wearing yellow jerseys and holding Dortmund scarves on the road.

After all, West is the most popular home stadium in Europe and even the world, even surpassing Anfield because it has a larger capacity.

Their team song is "YNA", and they will sing collectively before the game. The momentum can only be experienced when you go to Westminster or Anfield.

Dortmund and Atletico Madrid actually have many similarities now.

For example, they have been sinking for a long time before, but they all recovered around 2009. The difference is that Dortmund relied on Klopp, and Atletico Madrid relied on the gold dollar invasion.

For example, they are all called the youth army. Atletico Madrid's average age is 24, and Dortmund is younger, only 22 years old. Their frontcourt core Goce is 1 year younger than Mark Qin.

The most important thing in common is that their current results are so good, and they play well!

A good-looking team with good performance is always easy to attract more fans and get more attention, so today's game will be a focus match in this round of the Champions League.

"There is no doubt that Atlético Madrid are very strong and very rich, so they have been able to build a world-class squad in such a short period of time. I think Ancelotti must worry about who to play and who to substitute every day. "As soon as Dortmund arrived at the hotel in Madrid, Klopp accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

"Mark is the best world-class midfielder I have ever seen. Their coach Ancelotti is also full of Champions League experience. I think this will be their advantage, and their players are very talented."

"But it won't be a reason for us to hold back. We haven't appeared in this competition for 7 or 8 years, including me, so we have nothing to worry about, just show the best of ourselves"

"Football is just a win or draw or lose game..."

Klopp is trying his best to decompress the players, because not only do they have experience problems, but their bench depth is also very difficult to cope with multi-line operations. This is just a young team that has just emerged.

"I'm not very familiar with Klopp," Ancelotti said in an interview before the game, "but they were the Bundesliga champions last year, and that alone is enough for us to focus 120%. , Dortmund are good at attacking and very fast, we need to limit their running space in Calderon..."

Time soon came to the evening, and at this time Calderon was already overcrowded.

Although the red and white sheet army occupied most of the stands, the Hornets in the corner of the West Stand were still trying their best to give out their shouts.

"you'll never Walk Alone".

The fans of the two teams are looking forward to the first season of the UEFA Champions League after many years. This is a natural big stage, which will make people's adrenaline surge.

"Boom...", as the players of the two teams entered the field, Calderon became even hotter. The songs of the Atletico Madrid team and the Bumblebee team collided fiercely in the air, and then quickly suppressed them.

For MMP, if there are few people, they will be bullied.

"Macca, can you imagine my excitement? You don't know I miss Mark," Peterson said to McManaman, dancing in the studio. "It's a hard night without him."

"Haha, you'd better not let your wife hear this sentence"

"No, I like Mark, but I love my wife..."

"..."

"Haha, well, anyway, I'm very excited," Peterson laughed and continued, "Today is the focus of this round of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund"

"Yes", after joking McManaman also turned to the topic, "Klopp rose to fame last season, and I have never seen such a passionate coach on the sidelines. wild"

"It's like the wild, the wild, the sand, the running, the guns," Peterson interjects.

"Atletico Madrid this season," Mika continued, "judging from the performance of the previous rounds, Ancelotti has completely achieved the lineup and style of play he wanted, showing his strength."

"I feel that Mark is more advanced this season than last season. The reason is the existence of Mata, and his goals also prove this. He has scored 6 goals so far, which is the first in the Atletico Madrid team. top scorer"

At this time, the starting rosters of the two teams were also displayed in the live broadcast signal. Both teams adopted the 4231 formation, but the specific play styles would be different.

"Oh, we see that Atletico Madrid has three main players who failed to play. It is said that Silva and Aguero suffered minor injuries at the Nou Camp. Their main right back, Juanfran, seems to have suffered a muscle injury during training. ..." Peterson said when introducing the starting lineups of both sides.

"It's not a big problem. Atletico Madrid's bench is thick enough to solve this problem. Well, the two sides have finished the opening ceremony, and the captains on both sides are ready to guess coins. This battle is about to start, and we also hope that both sides The game can bring wonderful performances to the fans...", Meka replied.
