readx; The weather on this day is surprisingly cold!

The dark clouds all over the sky seem to be pressed down from the top of the head at any time, making people feel depressed.

Blowing from the southwest, the English Channel monsoon is not strong, but it is very good. It hits people like a knife and penetrates into the clothes all over, making people feel cold.

Jurgen Klopp strolled through the streets of Dortmund. After passing the corner, the wind swept across. It was a bit cold. He couldn't help but shivered. He quickly pressed the yellow Dortmund fan hat on his head and put his hands into his sweater pockets. Inside, keep going.

At this point in time, people in this city are either working or sleeping. In short, it is difficult to see people on the street.

Occasionally a few pass by, all in a hurry, and no one recognizes this sloppy middle-aged as Dortmund's head coach.

But Klopp has a feeling that if someone recognizes him, he might be scolded.

Because just last night, Dortmund was sitting at his home court, but was beaten one to two by Atletico Madrid in the away game. This is obviously not an easy score for Dortmund.

But he and his players are already doing their best!

Sometimes, he really wants to scold certain fans because they are totally unreasonable!

Yes, in the minds of some fans, there is no reason at all, only requirements!

That is to win!

They would not have thought that in Dortmund one summer after sending away two generals Gotze and Reuss, the team suffered heavy losses, Dortmund reaching the semi-finals is already considered the limit, what else do you want?

They will not accept the fact that the team is suffering from injuries and the players are distracted. How can they require the team to continue to maintain the strength of the past few seasons in the league?

The most important point of Klopp's team is cohesion and trust!

But now, Gotze and Royce are gone, Lewandowski is also going, where is the cohesion?

A moment ago, Klopp also vowed to promise that Royce would definitely not leave, but the next second, the management officially announced that Royce had moved to the local tycoon team Tottenham Hotspur. How can I trust it?

This is an extremely **** season!

It will also be Klopp's last season in this city!

Keep your head down and move forward step by step.

Pass the fragrant bakery, pass the closed coffee shop, and come to the crossroads.

Opposite is the largest sporting goods store in the center of Dortmund!

I still remember that when Klopp first coached the Hornets, this team was at a low point. It was in this mall that the price of a Dortmund jersey fell below 20 euros, and still no one cares about it.

But in the past few seasons, or in this mall, the Hornet's jerseys and fan supplies are always sold out, in short supply, even in the branch in Düsseldorf.

When the owner of this mall saw Klopp, he even joked that the people of Düsseldorf were hungry for Dortmund jerseys and fan supplies far more than Apple's tablets.

This makes Klopp proud!

But now, all of this will be far away from him!

In the league, climbing from the relegation zone step by step, returning to the midstream, but for Dortmund, who was still talking about winning the previous two years, the midstream is already a terrible result that is completely impossible to accept.

Today, even the Champions League may be out.

Thinking of this, Klopp sighed heavily.

In his last season in Dortmund, it is possible that nothing was left!

Maybe even the fans who have supported him for the past few years have chosen to abandon him now.

Standing on the corner of the crossroad, looking at the sports goods store on the opposite side that hadn't opened yet, Klopp couldn't help being a little dazed.

So much so that when the phone rang, he woke up.

After taking it out, it was his agent Mark Kosik.

"Hey, Mark!" Klopp connected.

"You didn't go to Braquel this morning?" Mark Kosik asked.

Brakel is the location of the Dortmund training base.

"No, the team is on holiday this morning. Recently they have been under too much pressure." Klopp said.

"Well, are you free now?"

Klopp frowned strangely, "What's the matter?"

"Remember, what I mentioned to you before, Serie A Inter Milan, once got in touch with me and asked if you are willing to go to Serie A to coach?"

"Yeah!" Klopp certainly remembered that Inter Milan was the first person to invite him after he announced his resignation from Dortmund.

"Their boss came to Dortmund himself!"

"What?" Klopp was a little surprised.

Just pick a coach, but let the boss take the initiative?

Even though Klopp always thought he was important, he was still a little surprised.

Because in front of the big boss, their coaches are nothing at all. When did you see the boss come forward to hire the coach in person? It's not bad to be able to make a phone call and communicate a few words!

"The owner of Inter Milan, but also the owner of Atletico Madrid, he was at the West Stadium last night."

"Oh!"

Klopp suddenly realized it.

But I still feel flattered, after all, the boss has personally come forward.

"How? See you?" Mark Kosik asked.

But soon, he added another sentence, "I think they are very sincere and the conditions are quite good!"

This last sentence made Klopp a little tempted.

Although he has repeatedly been hard-talking, even facing the provocations of Bayern Munich executives many times, he has repeatedly said that he is willing to lead the wire team to counterattack Gao Fushuai, but I can ask, who does not 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 the financial aspect is not bad, will Gotze and Royce still leave?

In the past few years, the team that he has worked so hard to build and run in has always been torn apart during summer transfers, and has successively sent away core players such as Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze and Royce.

Ask yourself, no matter how good Klopp is, no matter how good it is, you can't help but dig for so many years!

Mark Kosik on the phone felt the hesitation in Klopp’s silence, "Jurgen, I know that your original plan was to rest and increase self-improvement, but I think this may be a chance."

"What do you mean?" Klopp asked again.

"Don't you always want to visit Bielsa's training and communicate with Bielsa?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then you should meet him even more, because the person who wants to see you is the boss of Southampton!"

"What?" Klopp was immediately shocked.

I have to say that he is a very weird football guy.

To say that Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and other teams are news of the same boss, in the core circle of European professional football, it is no longer a secret. As long as Klopp inquires a little, you can know .

However, Dortmund's head coach is simply a guy who rushes to the team and ignores things outside the window!

"You mean, these teams are the same owner?"

"Yes!" Mark Kosik on the phone should feel the waterfall sweat.

I don't even know this, how come you are in professional football?

"Southampton has always attached great importance to coaching and tactics. As you mentioned before, regularly inviting celebrity coaches to communicate is only one of them. And Bielsa’s tactical attainments, you also know that Guardiola and Simeone are both deep. Under his influence."

This is why Klopp is so eager to communicate with Bielsa and visit Southampton for training.

Guardiola is his bitter owner in the Bundesliga this season, while Simeone just gave him a head in the Champions League.

The apprentices are so good, will the realm of the master be higher?

Moreover, Bielsa has always been like a legendary master in the world!

"Right!" Mark Kosik suddenly thought of something.

"Inter Milan sent a document before, I put it in your house, have you read it?"

As an agent, he knew very well that Klopp went to see Yang Huan and he was somewhat interested in applying.

All those who have participated in the application know that they must first understand the position they are about to apply for and the background of the recruiting company.

Therefore, he had to remind him.

"Look!" Klopp replied.

"The problem for Inter Milan's team is very serious. Mazzari tried his best, but many things can not be solved and achieved with the best effort. However, I also feel that Inter Milan is also quite supportive of Mazzari, but... …"

Sometimes, the club and the coach seem to be a marriage. If they don't agree, they will be able to grow old together.

The key is that too many unpredictable things will happen.

Mazzari and Inter Milan can not be said to be insincere. This is evident from the negotiation between the two sides and the peaceful breakup this season. Even in order to fulfill Mazzari's reputation, Inter Milan's external explanation is that Mazzari took the initiative to resign.

It can only be said that Mazzari is really not suitable for Inter Milan!

"Then what do you think?" Mark Kosik asked concerned.

Before negotiating, he must first figure out the bargaining chips he holds, so that he has the capital to negotiate!

"With the current lineup and strength of Inter Milan, if they play normally, there is no problem in the top three of the league, and their lineup is very young, and in the long run, they have great potential for development."

After a pause, Klopp continued: "The biggest problem with this team is cohesion and lack of mutual trust, so no matter who is in charge of Inter Milan, they must face this big problem!"

The two elements of cohesion and trust do not mean that they can be built overnight.

But if it is destroyed, it is much easier.

This world is like this, construction is always harder than destruction!

"Are you sure?" Mark Kosik asked again.

Klopp obviously hesitated, then thought for a while, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"If someone asked me, I would definitely say, there must be, but sometimes, the coach wants to produce results, it is not enough to rely on the coaching staff and players alone, it also depends on the management and the management philosophy of the entire club. "

"what do you mean……"

"If Inter Milan just wants to stop at the top three in the league, like Naples and Roma, to guarantee the Champions League, then I have no interest in this team!"

When Klopp said this, he was very firm and very sure.

With his reputation and status in European football today, he will certainly not allow himself to teach a team without ambitions.

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Mark Kosik on the phone started laughing.

"What's the matter?" Klopp was a little surprised~www.wuxiaspot.com~ nothing! "Marc Kosik is still smiling, "It's just that I remembered what Yang Huan said when the former Inter Milan football director Blanca called me. "

"What are you talking about?" Klopp asked with interest.

The point is that Yang Huan is so mysterious in European football!

"He said that what Inter Milan is looking for is a coach who can build on long-term development and lead the Nerazzurri to the highest level in history, not just for the sake of a flash in the pan as it was in 2010. So this time , They are very cautious!"

Very cautious?

Chose me?

The boss came to talk in person?

In the cold streets of Dortmund, Klopp felt a warmth that was valued again.
