953 The Supreme Glory of a Professional Head Coach
Return from Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to Madrid Capital Airport.
While waiting for the flight, Klopp took his assistants to have something to eat at the airport.
He was frowning and thinking about the problem the whole time.
Anyone who saw his expression at this moment would guess that he was encountering a problem.
The three assistants were no exception, and they were all in distress.
It was already like this when I walked out of the Bernabeu Stadium.
Real Madrid finally defeated Athletic Bilbao 5-0 at home, and the advanced team once again won a big victory.
But this victory left too many things behind.
For example, Real Madrid scored four goals in the first half, but only scored one goal in the second half, which was even obviously accidental.
Throughout the game, Real Madrid had close to 70% of the ball and fired more than 20 shots.
Regardless of the game process or the result, Real Madrid played a very exciting game.
More importantly, in the second half, Real Madrid obviously held back their kicks and conserved their strength.
Gao Shen is posing a difficult problem for Klopp!
He didn't even hide anything, didn't cover up anything, he directly showed his cards and told Klopp how he wanted to play.
But even if Klopp knows, so what?
Facing a team like Real Madrid, especially visiting the Santiago Bernabeu, it will be difficult for Dortmund to gain the upper hand.
"I don't know if you noticed, but Cristiano Ronaldo played very relaxed throughout the game." Klopp suddenly said.
"Are you adjusting?" Kravitz asked.
Klopp shook his head, "I feel like he deliberately reserved his strength. There were many opportunities. With his character, he would definitely fight for them in the past, but now it's all leisurely. It's more about exerting influence."
Function, attracting defensive attention."
Not long after the second half, Gao Shen even replaced Ronaldo when the overall situation was decided.
"Obviously, he didn't try his best," Buvac judged.
Klopp also agrees with this judgment.
If Cristiano Ronaldo did not give his best against Athletic Bilbao, the answer is obvious. He must save his energy to play in the Champions League next Wednesday. That is the game that Real Madrid attaches most importance to and must give its best.
"After we go back, we must focus on studying tactics to restrain Ronaldo." Klopp instructed.
"There is another thing that I think is quite strange." Buvac also frowned, because the more he thought about it, the more he discovered that Gao Shen's every move in this game seemed to have deep meaning.
"Belsa made a substitution in the second half and asked Toquero to come on as a substitute. This player is very good at moving on the right wing. This is obviously to strengthen Athletic Bilbao's right wing attack. In this case,
Gao Shen made a substitution."
Nacho replaces Marcos Alonso.
Marcos Alonso, a Real Madrid youth player, is very interesting. He is tall and has excellent skills, but he is not flexible enough.
According to Dortmund's original plan, Royce would still have a great advantage if he attacked this side.
Royce, as you can tell by his name, nicknamed Little Rocket, he has excellent speed and impact.
But Gao Shen replaced Marcos Alonso with Nacho, who has good speed and flexibility.
"Is it because Nacho is right-footed and Marcos Alonso is left-footed?" Kravitz speculated.
Right-footed players play on the left side, which has an advantage in defensive cuts.
Back then, when Arbeloa froze Messi, wasn't he just playing as a left back?
No one can guess what Gao Shen is planning, and Kravitz's statement is the most recognized.
Judging from the course of the game, Gao Shen insisted on his best opening attack, and after scoring the goal, he took advantage of the situation and dominated the situation on the field.
Bielsa's team played very aggressively and the players worked very hard in the game.
In order to better press in the midfield and frontcourt, Bielsa even took down high center forward Llorente in this game and used the 1.8-meter-tall Adulis, which made the entire midfielder and frontcourt of Athletic Bilbao very capable.
Aggressive.
But it was useless. After a wave of attacks, Real Madrid immediately controlled the ball and the rhythm of the game.
This is actually a wake-up call for Dortmund. What they are good at may not work well against Real Madrid.
However, for Dortmund, visiting the Bernabeu also has great advantages.
Real Madrid must win, but Dortmund just needs a draw.
From this point of view, Klopp's team will have much less pressure in the game.
Especially Dortmund's previous record advantage against Real Madrid.
Last season, also in the Champions League group stage, Dortmund eliminated Real Madrid.
Nowadays, even if Real Madrid's head coach has become more experienced, it has failed to break out of the group stage for several consecutive years. Whether Real Madrid's players can still withstand key battles is a big question.
You know, at critical moments, confidence is more valuable than scoring goals!
"Real Madrid's biggest bargaining chip now is Gao Shen, but I don't believe that he can turn things around every time!" Klopp gritted his teeth.
He has a very good relationship with Gao Shen, and he respects Gao Shen very much, but on the football field, he still wants to fight with Gao Shen to the death.
Or maybe there is no head coach in the world who doesn't want to beat Gao Shen to the ground.
For a professional head coach, this is simply a supreme honor, comparable to a professional player winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or!
…
When Klopp and his assistants were sitting at the Madrid Capital Airport eating burgers, Gao Shen and the team also returned to Valdebebas.
The team soon disbanded, but the coaching staff remained.
"Are you so sure that Klopp will come to watch this game?" Hierro asked Gao Shen somewhat strangely.
"I'm not sure whether he will come in person, but he must be watching the game, and people from Dortmund must be sitting in the stands. He will never miss such an opportunity."
Gao Shen has always been very confident in his own judgment.
The battle between head coaches is more like a psychological tactic.
When it comes to psychological warfare, it has a certain relationship with the opponent's character.
Klopp may seem rough, but he is actually very careful.
Only a careful person can be a good head coach, and a careless person cannot do this job.
"This game still exposed some problems. In the next few days, we will solve them as soon as possible."
Even though it was a five-goal victory, a game cannot be perfect and there will always be problems.
The job of the head coach is always to solve problems after the team has problems and then wait for new problems.
"Focus on practicing Nacho's defense on the left and use him to mark Royce." Gao Shen looked at Carlo.
Carlo nodded.
It was decided before that Nacho would start the game, and in this game, Nacho performed well after coming on as a substitute.
Gao Shen also has great confidence in Nacho.
Whether it is now or in the past, even many senior Real Madrid fans have an illusion that Nacho is mediocre, but in fact, he is really not.
Nacho is anything but mediocre.
Whether it's the diabetes he has had since childhood or his inspiring career, nothing is mediocre.
This strange impression comes from his versatile attributes, but in fact, Nacho's defensive ability is very good, he can play up and down the wing, he is very dynamic, and his biggest advantage is his speed.
Surprised, right?
Nacho is one of the fastest players in the Real Madrid team right now!
Surprising?
When many people mention the fast players on the wing, the first ones that come to mind are Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Marcelo and Carvajal, etc.
But in fact, Nacho is faster than Di Maria, Marcelo and Carvajal, and is on par with Ronaldo.
Real Madrid has conducted tests within the team, and Nacho's speed reached 34.62 kilometers per hour.
This speed is already considered very fast.
Leeds United's Salah is famous for his speed, and his speed is only 35 kilometers per hour.
Gao Shen still remembers that there was a statistics in 2020 that Mbappe's speed was 36 kilometers per hour.
Also in this statistic, Nacho ranks 10th among the fastest players in the world.
Gao Shen also looked at the statistics and suddenly realized that Nacho was so fast.
Real Madrid's coaching staff also decided to use Nacho as the left back to guard Royce after careful consideration.
Marcos Alonso's speed and agility are indeed slow. It's really difficult for him to mark the Rockets.
Especially considering that Real Madrid is likely to adopt more aggressive tactics.
"After watching tonight's game, will Klopp adopt a more conservative strategy?" Zidane asked with concern.
Gao Shen shook his head, "No, Klopp has his own set of tactical styles and ideas. Look at the past few years, no matter how the players have changed or how many core players have been sold, Dortmund's tactics have never been the same.
How to change."
"This is Klopp's biggest advantage. Dortmund's players have adapted to it, but in many games, Klopp's problems have also been exposed, that is, he lacks on-the-spot planning and alternatives, and lacks diversity in tactics.
sex."
To put it simply, Dortmund is good at that style of play.
Temporary change of tactics?
Ha, Gao Shen is happier than Klopp!
Why?
Because this means that there is a high probability that Dortmund will be in chaos without Real Madrid doing anything.
This is why many famous coaches say that Dortmund is a 60-minute player.
The meaning of this nickname is that Dortmund can only play good football for 60 minutes.
after?
Klopp lacks flexibility.
This is true for a game, it is true for a season, and it is even more true for a team.
From Mainz to Dortmund to Liverpool, Klopp is basically in one cycle after another, but he has no way to break this cycle.

If Klopp really breaks through one day, it will mean that his coaching level has reached a new level.
But at least now, he has not reached this level.
If you evaluate Klopp's coaching in Dortmund, Gao Shen will definitely give him a thumbs up and give him the highest praise.
But unfortunately, they are now opponents.
As the head coach of Real Madrid, if he wants to qualify in the group stage, he can only choose to pull down Dortmund.
Who makes each other rivals?
As for whether Dortmund will come down, whether the Hornets or Manchester City will come down, this is not the scope of advanced consideration.
He only knows one thing.
In this game against Dortmund, he cannot lose under any circumstances!
