Klopp has never concealed his identity as a profound fan, whether in public or privately.
He even mentioned many times that he went to Italy to listen to advanced lectures.
Although he is older than Gao Shen, this does not hinder his admiration for Gao Shen's football concepts at all.
He also once mocked himself as the most senior tactical analyst.
But no matter how senior he is, he is still worried if he really wants to do something real on the court.
The more you understand Gao Shen, the clearer you realize that his formations have always been mysterious and elusive.
Before playing in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Dortmund ushered in the twelfth round of the Bundesliga and faced Fürth at home.
After winning the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive seasons, the Hornets' form this season has begun to decline.
Especially after core players such as Shaheen and Shinji Kagawa left the team one after another, the impact on Dortmund was still relatively large.
What was a waste of money was that after Shaheen went to Real Madrid, he was used by Mourinho. After Shinji Kagawa moved to Manchester United, his development was not smooth. This made Klopp feel hot and uncomfortable.
Those are the treasures he worked so hard to dig out!
After eleven rounds of the Bundesliga, Dortmund is only ranked fourth, 11 points behind Bayern at the top of the list. It is no longer realistic to catch up, so Dortmund can only focus all its energy on the Champions League.
superior.
The match against Real Madrid is a hurdle that the Hornets must overcome, and Klopp does not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The game against Fürth is scheduled for noon.
Lewandowski scored in the opening three minutes, but Dortmund conceded a goal two minutes later.
In the 15th minute, Lewandowski scored a penalty kick for Dortmund, exceeding the score again.
Before the end of the first half, Gotze's goal sealed the victory for the team.
After that, Dortmund began to play health football, recuperate their energy, and retain their strength to play in the Champions League on Wednesday.
After the game, Klopp handed the team over to the manager, taking along two coaches, Peter Kravitz and Zerik Buvac, as well as analyst Zelda Ayal, and the four of them drove together.
Rush to Dusseldorf International Airport, which is dozens of kilometers away.
We arrived at the airport in a hurry, checked in, and quickly boarded a flight to Madrid, the capital of Spain.
Three hours later, they finally arrived in Madrid.
Without even having time to have dinner, they headed straight to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the center of Madrid.
Hurrying slowly, I finally arrived before the game started.
This journey has been really hard!
…
In the twelfth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.
As usual, this game attracted a packed house of Real Madrid fans.
When Klopp showed up with three assistants, he heard a deafening sound.
Especially the uniform shouts organized by the fans at the scene made everyone in the stadium feel the power and passion they burst out.
The whole world knows that Dortmund's home atmosphere is devilish, but the Bernabeu is no less impressive.
Although the atmosphere is very warm, there are actually differences.
The Bernabeu is all seated, but the number of people has reached 76,000. Dortmund's home game has a lot of standing tickets, resulting in a larger number of people. Coupled with the slope of the stands, there is a sense of condescension and oppression.
"When the time comes, the twelfth man will also be our opponent." Klopp communicated with his assistants in German.
Everyone also nodded.
The atmosphere at Real Madrid's home court has always been good, especially after Gao Shen was coached, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.
When they found their seats, the starting lineups of the two teams were introduced.
Among them, Real Madrid's starting lineup can be said to be the main force.
Goalkeeper: Courtois.
Defence: Marcos Alonso, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal.
Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Toni Kroos and Modric forward.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria.
After Gao Shen took charge of Real Madrid this season, he made many changes, many of which even caused huge controversy.
For example, swap Toni Kroos with Bayern Munich for Khedira.
At the beginning of the season, everyone criticized Gao Shen's decision, thinking it was a very stupid decision.
But what I never expected was that Toni Cross performed very stably after coming to Real Madrid, playing the role of left center midfielder, which was completely different from when he was at Bayern. He not only assumed the same role as when he was at Leverkusen
The role is slightly further back, which is more conducive to bringing out the characteristics of the German midfielder.
On the other hand, after Khedira went to Bayern, his performance dropped significantly compared with that during the European Cup.
By now, no one should doubt Gao Shen's original choice anymore.
There is also the selling of Germany's No. 10, the introduction of Modric, the promotion of Courtois, and the reuse of Benzema...
Especially Benzema.
Klopp knows better than anyone why Gao Shen uses Benzema.
Because he himself likes to use Wandowski.
In comparison, Benzema is much easier to use than Yin Guayin.
The biggest hidden danger for Real Madrid now is the full-back. Marcos Alonso and Carvajal are both substitutes, and these two players have different characteristics.
"He really didn't intend to hide it and just showed off the main lineup." Zelik Buvac said with a wry smile.
Gao Shen was so candid that it made them a little uneasy.
Does he seem like such a good person?
Isn’t the whole world saying that this guy is as cunning as a fox?
"Could it be a declaration?" Peter Kravitz asked tentatively.
His profound strength is known to the whole world.
He has revealed the main lineup now, which is equivalent to telling everyone that if we play like this now, we will still play like this in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Dortmund, you can decide for yourself!
Isn't this a kind of psychological warfare?
…
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid did not wait for Athletic Bilbao to take the initiative and launched a wave of attacks themselves.
Gao Shen's attack is really very targeted.
In less than two minutes, Benzema received a direct pass from Toni Kroos, kicked up in the penalty area, and was blocked by the central defender.
In the third minute, Ramos passed a diagonal pass and Ronaldo's header was blocked.
In the fifth minute, Modric passed the ball, and after Di Maria cut in from the right, his left-footed arc shot went wide.
In the seventh minute, Ronaldo cut in from the left and sent a cross. Di Maria's curve ball again was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Real Madrid launched a wild offensive from the beginning, leaving no chance for Athletic Bilbao to breathe, and making Klopp and others in the stands tremble with fear.
"When it comes to attacking, he is really a master of his skills!" Klopp sincerely admired.
The assistants looked at each other and nodded.
Who says it's not?
The Basque Lions are not a fuel-efficient team, but as soon as the game started, they were crushed by Real Madrid and huddled in the penalty area.
After finally surviving a wave of attacks from Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao began to try to counterattack. In the ninth minute, after Real Madrid stole the ball in their own half, Modric sent a long pass to Benze.
After stopping the ball, Ma took advantage of the trend to break forward and sent the ball to the right rib of the front court.
Di Maria stepped in at high speed and single-handedly passed the ball over the goalkeeper and succeeded, one to zero!
The entire Bernabeu was like a boiling pressure cooker, completely exploding!
After taking the lead, Real Madrid did not give up when the situation was good, but continued to pursue the game.
In the 13th minute, Toni Kroos took a corner kick. Ramos ran out of space and headed the ball undefended, giving Real Madrid another victory, 2-0!
In the 22nd minute, Real Madrid quickly counterattacked after another interception of the ball near the center line. Di Maria distributed the ball to the right. Carvajal rushed at high speed, advanced along the right, caught up with the ball and sent a pass.
middle.
Near the top of the arc in the penalty area, Benzema pushed the ball without stopping and sent the ball into the Athletic Bilbao goal again.
Three to zero!
…
Klopp and his assistants were sitting in the stands, feeling a little worried.
The Bernabeu Stadium was filled with cheers from Real Madrid fans, but Klopp and others felt very uneasy.
Real Madrid's offensive is too strong!
More importantly, Athletic Bilbao's midfield was completely out of position tonight.
Toni Kroos, Modric and Xabi Alonso completely helped Real Madrid control the midfield, control the ball and rhythm. Athletic Bilbao could only defend, defend and defend again.
But how can it stop Real Madrid's attack?
"To be honest, if Real Madrid had performed like this earlier, I'm afraid they would have been ranked first in the group." Kravitz smiled bitterly.
"Gao Shen not only has excellent training ability, but also has stronger error correction ability. He discovers and solves problems and makes progress too fast." Buvac was also full of distress. "The key is, what is the structure of his eyes?"
Marcelo and Arbeloa were injured, and the two main full-backs were absent. This would be a disaster for any head coach, but what about Gao Shen?
He survived!
Not only has he survived, Carvajal's current performance is better than the last, and he has great signs of provoking Real Madrid's wing attack.
Isn't this what Marcelo did on the left before?
Before, everyone said that the combination of Real Madrid's left wing, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo created by Gao Shen was a nightmare for all teams to defend on the right, but now it seems that the combination of Di Maria and Carvajal
, it doesn’t necessarily make people worry.
Even, it may not be worse than the left wing.
"This guy should really be taken for an autopsy!" Kravitz laughed.
This is a sentence that Klopp often says when he mentions Gao Shen. It is a joke between several of their core coaches.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Klopp's brows have never relaxed because he discovered a very critical problem.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is missing!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, when they thought about the three goals just now, none of which were involved in Ronaldo.
This is absolutely unreasonable!
This is Real Madrid's top scorer and top star!
Toward the end of the first half, Ronaldo finally showed his shadow.
He took the ball on the left, attracted the defensive attention, and sent a diagonal pass.
Benzema leaned on the defensive player in the middle of the penalty area, stopped the ball and knocked back, and played the ball to the edge of the penalty area.
Toni Kroos followed up, stopped, exerted force with his right foot, and fired a long shot.
The ball hit the Athletic Bilbao goal like a cannonball.
