Chapter 742: Entry Point
"You, Jurgen, are very happy to see you!"
Inside the luxurious suites of the most luxurious Pullman Hotel in Dortmund, Young welcomes the long-known Klopp.
The first impression this famous German young man gave is, how come, how come it is so tall?
After all, he was a professional player. Klopp's figure is not just tall, but very strong, giving people a very powerful sense of power. Even when Long Wu saw it, he couldn't help but approach Yang Huan a little.
Yang Huan was just stunned for a moment, but soon felt relieved.
In Germany, a body like Klopp is probably very common!
This time, everyone was relatively low-key, so there were not many people involved.
Yang Huan is the only one who is himself, Kesh Harris who accompanied him, as well as the technical director Marco Blanca who flew over from Milan, and football director Osirio.
It was even simpler for Klopp to come here, he just came with his agent Mark Kosick.
This is also normal, after all, Klopp's most valuable resource is himself!
Almost as soon as he entered the door, Klopp stared at Yang Huan.
If so many people were present to witness it, he would have suspected that the young man in front of him was not the legendary rich man, but a rich second generation.
But this surprised him more and was also curious.
That is, why was Yang Huan able to operate Southampton and Atletico Madrid to this level in just a few years?
The living room of the luxurious suite is not small and can be used as a small conference room. Therefore, everyone sat down with the host and the guest, but they didn't feel crowded at all. It was just that the window was cloudy and there was insufficient light, so the lights were turned on.
As soon as Yang Huan sat down, he looked at Klopp with interest and smiled bitterly.
"Jurgen, do you know? If our domestic fans saw you like this, I'm afraid no one would recognize you!"
"Hmm?" Klopp was a little surprised and glanced at his agent Kosic, who was also puzzled.
"Why?"
"In our China, you can be called the No. 1 coach in the Bundesliga, which is no less than Guardiola. They gave you a very friendly nickname, Uncle Scratch!"
"Uncle Slag?" Klopp was a little surprised.
"Uncle with a bearded face!" Yang Huan explained with a smile.
When Klopp heard this, he couldn't help but reach out to touch his face. Where was there a rude person?
For the current meeting, after receiving the call, he immediately went home without stopping, took a shower, changed clothes, shaved, and even put on a suit and tie that he was not used to, and was even disgusted with, but unexpectedly...
Damn it, I wouldn't have to shave if I had known it, but I've stayed there for a long time!
Yang Huan laughed. Judging from Klopp's actions, he did show his sincerity.
Moreover, he could feel that this was a very sincere and straightforward person who didn't like to cheat.
If it were other guys who were relatively sloppy, I guess they should have made a move at this time, but he didn't.
This made Yang Huan have a better impression of him.
Originally, Inter Milan's number one target for coach selection was Allegri, but the Italian head coach was hesitant about the invitation from Inter Milan, and the Southampton technical team's evaluation of Allegri was not very good.
A very important reason is whether Allegri can reorganize Inter Milan?
This is a question!
The current Inter Milan lineup has been configured, the key is to reorganize and blend, which requires a strong head coach.
Judging from Allegri's coaching at AC Milan, he may not be able to successfully transform!
On the contrary, after evaluation, Klopp was pushed to the front.
Inter Milan is a bit similar to Dortmund back then. Both are extremely bad and have been demolished and rebuilt. Klopp has done a pretty good job in Dortmund, and his tactics are also in line with the mainstream of current European football.
More importantly, the head coach has amazing learning ability.
Like people in other industries, the head coach needs to constantly increase self-value and keep pace with the times.
This profession is different from other industries. It is difficult to say that the level of coaching that is indescribable is difficult to describe, but it is generally believed that learning the advantages and strengths of the opponent's head coach through competition is the most important source of nutrients for all professional coaches to increase their value.
This is also why most coaches don’t want to leave the front line for too long.
Judging from Klopp's past experience, he has excellent abilities in this area.
In addition, Klopp is definitely a good move in terms of player psychological adjustment, motivation and cohesion of the team. Moreover, in Dortmund, he coached, outstanding stars such as Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, Reus, Gundogan, Hummels, Lewandowski, and Shassin have emerged, which shows that his ability to cultivate players is also very outstanding.
As for improving the system, data analysis, long-term planning, etc., the Bundesliga head coaches are very good in this regard, which is also a common feature of the Bundesliga, and Klopp is one of the best.
Otherwise, with Dortmund's selling skills in the past few years, it would have been a long time since it was finished!
From the current perspective, Klopp's biggest weakness is actually at the tactical level.
And Yang Huan also used this as the entry point.
After starting the conversation, Yang Huan took the initiative to talk about the current football environment in Italy, and did not deny that the Serie A had lagged behind the Bundesliga to some extent and fell to fourth in Europe.
But Yang Huan regards this as an advantage in the Serie A.
"Why did Guardiola give up on the Premier League and choose the Bundesliga?"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Although Bayern Munich has a fist, it is undeniable that he believes that in the Bundesliga, when Bayern Munich is the dominant player, many of his tactical ideas can be tried."
"To be honest, with Bayern Munich's strength, in the past few years, no team except your Dortmund can threaten their kingly position, and Guardiola is taking advantage of this and treats the entire Bundesliga as his tactical test field!"
"This kind of conditions is impossible to meet in the Premier League and La Liga!"
Klopp felt that it was new when he heard this method for the first time, but he had to say that there was such a possibility.
Looking at Bayern Munich in the past few years, Van Gaal is a pioneer in reform, but he is too radical, which directly leads to the entire team being unable to keep up with his ideas and pace, and has also offended many interest groups in the team.
Heinx handled the team smarter and more sleeker after taking over. He just used a way to boil frogs in a warm water, but this change did not bring substantial changes to the team.
Therefore, even if Heinx won the Champions League, Bayern Munich had no intention of retaining it, because everyone knew that Heinx had already brought Bayern Munich's existing system to the extreme.
Even if he is left behind, what can he do? What breakthrough can he bring to Bayern Munich?
The answer is, it's impossible!
But Guardiola can!
Therefore, Bayern Munich chose Guardiola and even allowed the latter to regard Bayern Munich as a white mouse in the laboratory, and repeatedly conducted various tactical experiments.
It doesn't matter, doesn't it?
Anyway, no matter how you try, Bayern Munich is the Bundesliga champion!
"Belsa once said that there are only two teams in this world that have achieved full attack and defense, one is the Netherlands and the other is Germany."
After a pause, Yang Huan continued: "Times change, and the football world's understanding of all attacks and all defenses is constantly undergoing profound changes, but every change is still the same. Therefore, Guardiola wants to go to Germany to understand the Germans' understanding of all attacks and all defenses!"
After hearing this, Klopp really felt that it was difficult for him to refute Yang Huan's words.
Even, he vaguely felt that this was probably true.
Because Guardiola is such a person!
"Do you know? Last night I was sitting in the stands at West**** Stadium. I looked at your Dortmund and the Atletico Madrid game against Simeone. Do you know what I saw?" Yang Huan smiled slightly after asking a question.
Klopp's ideas were completely led by Yang Huan, and he asked, "What did you see?"
"detail!"
"Details?" Klopp was a little surprised.
"Simone is better and more appropriate in tactical details, which makes his tactics look rich and his response measures are just right, with almost no obvious flaws to be exploited, and the team overall seems to be impeccable."
Klopp was stunned when he heard this and couldn't speak.
Because he was in front of the home team coach's seat last night, this is indeed the same feeling.
He knew that there could be no perfect tactics in this world, nor could there be a team without loopholes, but the problem was that when he encountered Atletico Madrid, he had no idea where to start.
So, I can only watch my team lose this crucial game with helplessness.
"What Serie A is best at is to create a balanced tactical system and enrich tactical details, so the head coaches from Italy have a lot of tactical details, whether it is offense or defense."
"Simone is from the Serie A League and has been immersed in Italy's tactical environment for many years. Therefore, the reason why Atletico Madrid has been successful in the past two seasons is that the team's signings are very targeted and the lineup is very strong, but on the other hand, Simeone is constantly improving various details."
"It's not just him, like Benitez, who had also studied abroad in Italy before coaching. Guardiola also had an Italian resume, and Mourinho's tactical qualities were also sublimated during Inter Milan."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan chose to stop at the right time.
Because the meaning has been made clear, he no longer needs to say more.
In terms of league influence and team strength, neither Serie A nor Inter Milan 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-make team to coach, and then establish his position as a famous European coach in one fell swoop.
But in contrast, Inter Milan is obviously a crisis-ridden challenge!
Therefore, Yang Huan did the opposite, leaving all the salary and coaching environment behind.
He just mentioned a little bit, long-term plan!
Unlike professional players who are only active for more than ten years at most, the head coach is a long-term job.
Klopp is only forty-six years old now. As long as his body allows him and his energy is strong, it is not a problem to coach for another twenty years, or even longer.
So, for Klopp now, he must establish his position as a famous European coach early on by taking advantage of tricks?
Or should we first consider self-value-adding and improving our coaching ability?
Different people often give different answers when they look at such a question.
For example, Boas's choice is to become famous as early as possible, so when his wings are hard, he immediately escapes Mourinho and flies solo.
But Yang Huan always felt that if Boas had gone solo a few years later, especially with Mourinho to coach Real Madrid, it would be of great benefit to his future.
But everyone has their own choice, right?
