Chapter 742: Entry point
"You still, Jurgen, very happy to meet you!"
In the luxurious suite of the most luxurious Pullman Hotel in Dortmund, Yang welcomed the long-known Klopp.
The first impression of this well-known German marshal is, what's so special, why is it so tall?
Klopp’s figure is not just a tall, but very strong body, giving people a very powerful sense of power. Even Longwu can't help but walk towards Yang Huan when he sees it. A little closer.
Yang Huan was just astonished, but he quickly let go.
In Germany, a body like Klopp, I am afraid it is also very common!
This time, everyone was relatively low-key, so not many people participated.
Yang Huan has only himself, and Kesh Harris who accompanied him, as well as technical director Marco Blanca who flew over from Milan, and football director Osiri.
Klopp's side is even simpler, he just came with his agent Mark Kosik.
This is also normal, after all, Klopp's most precious resource is himself!
And almost as soon as he walked in, Klopp stared at Yang Huan.
If it hadn't been witnessed by so many people present, he would have doubted that the young man in front of him was not the legendary big tyrant, but a rich second generation.
But this surprised him more and was also curious.
That is, why is Yang Huan able to manage Southampton and Atletico Madrid to such a high level in these short years?
The living room of the deluxe suite is not small and can be used as a small meeting room. Therefore, when everyone sits down as the main guest, it doesn't feel crowded at all. It's just that the light outside the window is cloudy and the light is insufficient, so the lights are on.
As soon as Yang Huan sat down, he looked at Klopp with interest and gave a wry smile.
"Jurgen, do you know? If our domestic fans see you like this, no one will recognize you!"
"Huh?" Klopp was a little surprised and glanced at his agent Kosik, who also felt puzzled.
"why?"
"In China, you can be called the Bundesliga's No. 1 handsome, not much better than Guardiola. They gave you a very kind nickname, Uncle Zha!"
"Uncle Slag?" Klopp was a little surprised.
"Uncle with scumbag!" Yang Huan explained with a smile.
When Klopp heard this, he involuntarily reached out and touched his face, where is there any scum?
For the current meeting, after receiving the call, he immediately went home non-stop, took a bath, changed clothes and shaved, and even put on a suit and tie that he was not used to, and even a little offensive. He didn't expect...
Damn, I knew I didn't need to shave, I kept it for a long time!
Yang Huan laughed, judging from Klopp's move, it really showed his sincerity.
Moreover, he can feel that this is a very sincere and straightforward person who doesn't like to deceive.
If you change to another guy who is more slippery, it is estimated that he should put on a show at this time, but he does not.
This made Yang Huan a better impression of him.
Originally the number one goal of Inter Milan coach selection was Allegri, but the Italian coach was hesitant to invite from Inter Milan, and the Southampton technical team's assessment of Allegri was not very good.
A very important reason is, can Allegri reorganize Inter Milan?
This is a question!
The current Inter Milan lineup has been configured, the key is to reorganize and mix, which requires a strong coach.
Judging from Allegri's coaching in Milan, he may not be able to transform successfully!
On the contrary, after the evaluation, Klopp was pushed to the forefront.
Today's Inter Milan is a bit similar to Borussia Dortmund. They are both terrible and rebuilt. Klopp has done quite well in Dortmund, and his tactics are in line with the current mainstream of European football.
More importantly, this head coach has amazing learning ability.
Head coaches, like people in other industries, need to constantly improve themselves and keep pace with the times.
And this profession is different from other industries. It’s hard to tell the level of coaching that is unclear, but it is generally believed that through competitions, learn the strengths and strengths of the opposing head coach. It is the most important source of nutrients for all professional coaches to increase their self-value.
This is why, most coaches do not want to leave the front line for too long.
Judging from Klopp's past resume, his ability in this area is quite outstanding.
In addition, Klopp is definitely good at adjusting player psychology, motivating and uniting the team, and in Dortmund, where he is coaching, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, Royce, Gundogan, Humels, Outstanding players such as Lewandowski and Sahin show that his ability to cultivate players is also quite good.
As for improving the system, data analysis, and long-term planning, the head coach of the Bundesliga is quite good in this regard. This is also a common feature of the Bundesliga, and Klopp is one of the best.
Otherwise, based on Dortmund's sales performance in the past few years, it would be over!
From the current point of view, Klopp's biggest weakness is on the tactical level.
And Yang Huan also used this as an entry point.
After starting the conversation, Yang Huan took the initiative to talk about the entire football environment in Italy, and he did not deny that the Serie A has fallen behind the Bundesliga to some extent and has fallen to the fourth place in Europe.
But Yang Huan regards this as the advantage of Serie A instead.
"Why did Guardiola give up the Premier League and choose the Bundesliga?"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Although there are Bayern Munich's enthusiasm, but it is undeniable that he believes that in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich dominates the situation, many of his tactical ideas can be tried."
"Just to be polite, with Bayern Munich’s strength, in the Bundesliga in the past few years, no team except your Dortmund can threaten their king status, and Guardiola is taking advantage of this. Treat the entire Bundesliga as his tactical test field!"
"Such conditions are impossible in the Premier League and La Liga!"
It was the first time that Klopp heard this kind of law, and found it very new, but he had to say that there was such a possibility.
Throughout Bayern Munich in the past few years, Van Gaal was a pioneer in reform, but he was too radical, which directly caused the whole team to be unable to keep up with his ideas and pace, and also offended many interest groups in the team.
After Heynckes took over, he handled it smarter and more sleek. He was the kind of quietly changing the team by boiling frogs in warm water, but this change did not Can bring substantial changes to the team.
Therefore, even if Heynckes won the Champions League, Bayern Munich didn't mean to stay at all, because everyone knows that Heynckes has taken Bayern Munich's existing system to the extreme.
What if you leave him behind? What breakthrough can he bring to Bayern Munich?
The answer is, impossible!
But Guardiola can!
Therefore, Bayern Munich chose Guardiola, and even allowed the latter to treat Bayern Munich as a white rat in the laboratory, repeatedly conducting various tactical experiments.
It doesn't matter, does it?
Anyway, Bayern Munich are all Bundesliga champions!
"Bielsa once said that there are only two teams in the world that have achieved full defense, one is the Netherlands and the other is Germany."
After a pause, Yang Huan continued: "Time has changed. The football world's understanding of total offense and defense is constantly undergoing profound changes, but it will never leave its origins. Therefore, Guardiola is going to Germany. Understand the Germans' understanding of all offense and defense!"
After listening to Klopp, he really felt that it was difficult for him to refute Yang Huan's remarks.
Even, he vaguely felt that this might be true.
Because Guardiola is such a person!
"Do you know? I was sitting in the stands of the West Stadium last night. I watched your Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico Madrid match. Do you know what I saw?" Yang Huan smiled after asking the question.
Klopp's thoughts were completely led away by Yang Huan, and asked, "What do you see?"
"detail!"
"Details?" Klopp was a little surprised.
"Simeone is better at dealing with tactical details and is more in place. This makes his tactics look very rich and the countermeasures are also very appropriate. There are few obvious flaws to be exploited. The team as a whole seems invulnerable."
Klopp was stunned to hear, but he couldn't speak.
Because he was in front of the coaching bench of the home team last night.
He knows that there can be no perfect tactics in this world, nor can there be a team without loopholes, but the problem is that he has no way of starting with Atletico Madrid.
Therefore, you can only watch your own team lose this crucial game.
"Serie A is best at creating a balanced tactical system and enriching tactical details. Therefore, the head coaches from Italy have rich tactical details, whether it is offensive or defensive."
"Simeone was born in Serie A and has been immersed in Italy's tactical environment for many years. He has already been fascinated by it. Therefore, in the past two seasons, the reason why Atletico Madrid has succeeded is that the team’s signings are very targeted and the lineup is very good. Strong, but on the other hand, Simeone is constantly improving various details."
"It's not just him, like Benitez. Before he coached, he also went to Italy to study. Guardiola also had an Italian resume. Mourinho's tactical literacy was also sublimated during Inter Milan. ."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan chose just enough.
Because the meaning is clear, he doesn't need to say more.
In terms of league influence, in terms of team strength, Serie A and Inter Milan do not have any advantages to attract Klopp.
Even for a head coach like Klopp who is in a period of rapid growth, the best choice now is to find a stable and easy-to-achieve team to coach, and then establish his position as a European coach in one fell swoop.
But looking at Inter Milan, this is obviously a perilous challenge!
Therefore, Yang Huan did the opposite. What salary and teaching environment are all left behind.
He just mentioned one point, long-term planning!
Unlike professional players who have been active for more than ten years at most, the head coach is a long-term job~lightnovelpub.net~ Klopp is only forty-six years old. As long as his body allows, he is energetic, and he will coach for another twenty years, even Longer is not a problem at all.
So, for the current Klopp, is it to establish his position as a European coach early?
Or is it more important to consider self-enhancement first, and to improve your coaching ability?
Different people will often give different answers to such a question.
For example, Boas, his choice is to become famous as soon as possible, so his wings hardened, immediately separated from Mourinho solo.
But Yang Huan has always felt that if Boas flies solo a few years later, especially if he accompanies Mourinho to coach Real Madrid, it will be of great benefit to his future.
But everyone has their own choice, right?
But, I don’t know what Klopp’s choice will be?
