When Zhou Yi told his teammates in a calm tone in the locker room, Dortmund's head coach Klopp was also talking to his colleagues about his ideas.

"I think I might have made a mistake all the time..." Klopp's opening statement surprised everyone. They looked at each other, and then turned their doubtful eyes to Klopp.

Klopp, who looked down, seemed to be thinking about something. He didn't go on immediately, but kept his head silent.

After being silent for a few seconds, he suddenly looked up and continued: "I always thought we were finished this season. At least this is the case in the league. We can't pose a threat to Bayern Munich. They are too strong and too stable. ..."

Klopp's remarks made the Dortmund coach do not be too scared-Dortmund's coach even admits defeat in advance? If this is let the media know, the outside world does not know how much storm it will cause...

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

"But yesterday's game showed me something I always ignored... I used to think that our team has lost its desire for championship and victory after winning three consecutive league titles. But I saw from yesterday's game that the players are still full of desire for victory. So I think maybe I was wrong... our players have not given up, and at this time I can't give up..."

Speaking of which, Klopp said: "I'm going to tell them my thoughts now, I want to re-clarify our goal for this season, still fighting for the championship. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, we must also do more work , Especially the team medical team."

He looked at Dr. Braun: "We need to add one more person to the coaching staff in the medical team."

Dr. Braun didn’t even think about it, and immediately gave the candidate: "Of course it is Cortana. With her on the bench, I think Zhou Yi's level of play can be as high as 5%. Ten percent."

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Zhou Yi and Cortana's relationship is not a secret, the team will also be used to joke from time to time.

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

When the players came to the training ground to prepare for training, they saw that coach Klopp and the entire coaching staff were also in place, and everyone looked at each other in surprise-they were not late...

"Warm up first." Klopp waved his hand.

Everyone is warming up with their heads down, but the doubts in their hearts are getting stronger and stronger, because they feel that the atmosphere is really different from usual...

After the warm-up, the players stood in a circle and faced the head coach Klopp.

They knew that Klopp must have something to say.

"First of all, congratulations, guys. Your game against Werder Bremen is very exciting. The pleasant attack and control of the situation, the score is the best return for everyone. Secondly, I want to apologize to you ."

When Klopp said this, everyone was shocked.

In the first half of the sentence, congratulations on winning, but also understandable. What the **** is this sudden apology?

Many people have more doubts in their hearts.

"I want to apologize to you. Until then, I haven't trusted you very much...Yes, our results this season have fluctuated, we have serious injuries...We are also at a disadvantage in the league competition... What bad news, I once wanted to give up the league. But after watching your game against Werder Bremen, I found 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, the players were still shocked. They didn't know what to say, so they looked at Klopp in silence.

"So now I want to reiterate to you our goal this season-the league champion! We will never admit defeat!"

Some of the players gradually recovered and then laughed.

At such a serious moment, someone suddenly laughed and could not help but stand out.

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

Groscroix quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no... I just feel so coincident..."

"What a coincidence?" Bouvac asked.

"Just in the locker room just now, Zhou Yi said the same thing..." Gross Kreuz successfully kicked the football towards Zhou Yi.

Now, the eyes of the coaching staff are all focused on Zhou Yi.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Yi had to stand up and explain to the coaches: "I just said this season's league champion, I still don't want to give up..."

Klopp laughed, and Zhou Yi told him before. However, he was hesitant at that time, only to take into account Zhou Yi's words, but did not really intend to do so.

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

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

One game after another.

Although he has no bragging words, he is proving his words with actual actions.

"Very well, since both of our goals have been the same, then things are easier to handle." Klopp clapped his hands. "I think all of you are well aware of how difficult it is for us to win the championship this season. Although we are only four points behind Bayern Munich, but we have serious injuries this season and we have no way to maintain last season in terms of rotation At that scale, players in some positions will have to withstand more games and more pressure. But since our goals are all the same, then we should move towards this goal. Now, start training!"

Now that the goal is determined to be the league champion, then the next German Cup must be given up.

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

So on February 11th, in the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Dortmund lost to Frankfurt 1:2 away, again stopping at the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

Just won Werder Bremen a 5:1 in the league, and lost to the Frankfurt Cup inferior to their Frankfurt.

This makes the media still full of criticism of Dortmund.

In the opinion of these expert names, Dortmund's league title this season is not to be expected. Even if they had just won Werder Bremen, even if they were only four points behind Bayern Munich. With Bayern Munich's so stable performance, it is even more difficult for Dortmund to make a comeback.

The German Cup is Dortmund's only option to avoid empty hands this season. The excellent performance in the German Cup and the ability to win a German Cup championship are also a comfort for Dortmund's bad season...

As a result, Dortmund has buried this hope personally-they sent a large number of young players and substitutes in the game against Frankfurt. From this personnel adjustment arrangement, it is obvious that Klopp's idea, he gave up the German Cup.

"It's unwise!" a reporter said so critically on social networks.

"Maybe Klopp was stunned by Dortmund's 5:1 win over Werder Bremen. You know that game was atypical and did not have any reference value. Dortmund has not played a few games this season. The game comes. The performance is very ups and downs, and the league is just a long process. What is needed is the team’s stable play in this process... The basis for stable play does not exist in Dortmund today!"

No one knows that, within Dortmund, after the goal has been determined, the machine has started to operate.

Klopp adjusted the training content and increased the proportion of physical strength and physical training to ensure that the players will not lose the chain due to physical fitness during the sprint stage of the league and also reduce the chance of injury.

At the same time, the content of Footbonaut training is also appropriately increased. This is a training method that allows players to quickly pass the ball. It fits Dortmund's tactics.

The outstanding performance of Dortmund in these two seasons ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and this set of high-tech training equipment are also closely related.

Yan Min likes this "little black house" very much. He has never experienced such training content in China before. In his view, this is as challenging as playing a game and can be upgraded.

From the first person passing the ball in the cage, to adding defensive players to disturb you, from one defensive player to two defensive players, up to three defensive players, the difficulty increases geometrically.

Yan Min previously benefited from his boredom and practiced dribbling alone in the training ground, and he developed good dribbling skills. But in comparison, his pass and catch are just like other Chinese players. It seems that there is not much problem in training. Once he joins the confrontation, the passing head of pass and pass is lacking.

Since coming to Dortmund, he has been very interested in this training content, because he knows that this can improve his ability to pass the ball.

The fact is the same. The outside world was surprised by Yan Min's progress in joining Dortmund, and Footbonaut's help is indispensable.
