Klopp looked at his watch and then at Li Qiao, thinking: "What's the matter, the pass is so inaccurate", turning his head, Klopp said to his assistant "Bovac": "Li Qiao is a good player, but the ups and downs are too big."
"You are young after all," Klopp added at the end.
"Dortmund" will face "Stuttgart" this weekend, and the team will go away to challenge "Juventus" in the middle of next week. Li Qiao is an important part of Klopp's heart, but now Li Qiao's state makes Klopp a little worried.
Seeing Klopp's anxious look, "Bovac" said calmly: "It may not be a matter of status."
"what is that"?Klopp asked in surprise, he trusts his old assistant very much, and "Bovac" often has unexpected insights.
"I have the data of our first-team players. Li Qiao's data is more detailed. I have carefully analyzed Li Qiao's main indicators-ball possession rate, success rate of catching the ball, and success rate of dribbling breakthroughs. There is only one thing that is not good."
"what"?
"Success rate of back pass, commonly known as blind pass".
After the analysis by "Bovac", Klopp had a sudden realization, "Yes, Li Qiao is indeed under pressure, and the pass success rate will immediately drop."
"Then what do you think is the reason," Klopp asked.
Bouvac shrugged and said: "You just said that you are too young, and I agree with you."
"The Champions League will be next week",
Buvac chuckled, "I'm an assistant coach, not a fairy."
*****
Three whistles sounded, the game ended, and "Dortmund" finally defeated "Stuttgart" 1-0.
After the game, the players went to the player tunnel one after another.Li Qiao was the last one to walk off the court. He originally wanted to hide from Klopp, but at the end of every game, Klopp insisted on hugging every player before returning to the locker room, so Li Qiao couldn't hide.
"Good job, Joe", after finishing speaking, Klopp patted Li Qiao on the shoulder, and then he walked to the locker room.
In the shower room of the locker room, Li Qiao let the hot water pour on him. At this moment, he felt a little upset. He knew where his problem was, but he couldn't find a solution.
There are two types of passing, one is to watch the pass with eyes, this technique Li Qiao has been able to achieve [-]% success.
The second type of blind pass, in the case of being pressed, the pass basically has no time to observe in advance.
So how can it be as accurate as possible?
The answer is to observe the position of teammates before catching the ball. Simply put, it is to take a snapshot of the distribution of personnel on the field in your mind and store it in your mind.
Li Qiao has always done this very well. Although it is not easy to remember the positions of two or three teammates in advance, Li Qiao can do it.
Then why did Li Qiao's trick fail in Dortmund?
It's very simple, that is, Dortmund's offensive speed is too fast!
In the national team, when Li Qiao passed the ball to Ding Mu and Lin Zhijian, their positions 1 second ago are basically the same as 1 second later.
But in Dortmund, the positions of "Aubameyang" and "Royce" are changing every second. There may have been a displacement of more than 1 meters between their positions one second ago and one second later.
To put it simply, the GPS navigation in Li Qiao's mind has failed in the "Dortmund" system, and at the current location, Li Qiao doesn't know how to solve this problem.
Then why does Li Qiao's state seem to be up and down?This is because it is impossible for "Dortmund" to play so fast every game. Occasionally when the team's game rhythm is relatively slow, then Li Qiao's passing looks very accurate, and if the team's game rhythm is fast, then it seems that Li Qiao's passing is outrageous.
In fact, the style of the team has changed, not Li Qiao's status, but what can Li Qiao say?Professional football is very cruel. If you can't do it, just give up your position and let someone else do it, that's all.
I think that Chelsea's "Cech" often appeared dizzy after his skull was kicked, but he didn't dare to tell the club, so he had to bear it himself, because if the club found out, they might give you a generous breakup fee, but they would not use you again.
Li Qiao walked out of the bathroom after showering for half an hour, and met Weidenfeller head-on, "Joe, you know, in Germany, the water bill is very expensive."
Li Qiao chuckled, "Weidenfeller" certainly saw that Li Qiao's situation was not very good, so he deliberately stayed to talk to Li Qiao.
"I just want to relax my muscles with hot water," Li Qiao said.
"Hehe, you didn't have such a habit before."
Li Qiao went to his storage box to get dressed, "Weidenfeller" came over and said, "I'll have a drink tonight, I'll treat you."
Li Qiao was just depressed, so he agreed.
*****
After the two came to the South Stand bar and drank a few glasses of beer, Li Qiao relaxed, and "Weidenfeller" started to talk, he wanted to know what happened to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao did not deny that he told "Weidenfeller" everything about his situation. After hearing this, "Weidenfeller" thought to himself: "I can't help with this. I'm a goalkeeper. I'm not good at organizing attacks."
"You can try to talk to "Shinji Kagawa" and "Mkhitaryan". They are all good passers in the team, maybe they can teach you something."
This Li Qiao had thought of it a long time ago, and just waited for the words "Weidenfeller", because Li Qiao felt that "Weidenfeller" was the big brother in the team, if he came forward to ask "Kagawa Shinji" and "Mkhitaryan", they would definitely come.
"Weidenfeller" was very straightforward, he promised to ask them out immediately, and the four of them drank together. After drinking until 4 o'clock in the evening, the chat became more and more open. Li Qiao began to ask the two of them the secret of passing the ball.
But the answer of the two made Li Qiao dumbfounded - "feeling".
Indeed, this is nonsense but it is also a big truth. Even if Li Qiao asked "Harvey", the latter would probably answer in this way.
"Can you be more specific, or give me an example?"
Both shrugged, both indicating that this was their answer.
Li Qiao's face was full of disappointment, at this time "Weidenfeller" put his hand on Li Qiao's shoulder and said: "It's okay, don't worry, Li Qiao".
*****
Time flies, when Li Qiao was thinking about how to improve his passing, "Dortmund" was already on the plane to "Turin". This game is very important for "Dortmund".
We know that the UEFA Champions League is paid according to the number of games. If you advance one step further, you will receive a lot of bonuses and broadcast share.For a second-rate club like "Dortmund", the Champions League bonus is undoubtedly the most important income if they want to maintain huge annual expenses.
Before the game, many people talked about the match between the two sides in the 1997 Champions League final. In the end, with the lob shot from outside the penalty area by the teenager "Lincoln", Dortmund won the Champions League "Big Ears Cup". That was also the most glorious year in the club's history.
Klopp’s strategy in this game is to “keep the tie and win”. Of course, losing is also acceptable, but there must be an away goal, two rounds of knockout, an away goal is worth a thousand dollars, so Klopp will still focus on offense in this game. If there is no away goal, it will be very difficult to return home.
After arriving in Turin, the team received a warm welcome. Serie A has been in a normal situation for the past few years after the "Pelmopolitan scandal" in 2006 and the European debt crisis that began in 2010, but the mentality of the Serie A team has changed for the better. Italian football used to be very proud, but now Italians are also welcoming teams from other countries.
Many local Dortmund fans from Turin came to pick them up at the airport. Royce, Joe Lee, Aubameyang and others signed autographs and took photos with the fans. Uncle Klopp also met a female fan's request for a hug for the first time.
After checking into the hotel, Klopp immediately asked the bus driver to take him from the hotel to the "Juventus Arena", the home of "Juventus". Klopp heard that the traffic in Italy is average, so he wanted to go there before the game and take a look at the road conditions along the way.
On the second day, under the leadership of Klopp, the whole "Dortmund" team went to the "Juventus Arena" to step on the field. The capacity of this stadium is only half of that of "Dortmund's" home stadium, but considering the long history and glorious past of "Juventus", this stadium is still a holy place for many fans.
After 30 minutes of field training, the players are satisfied with the lawn conditions of the field. The grass is cut very short, which is good for offense. The lawn feels like a big carpet when stepped on. In short, this is the field that the "Dortmund" players like.
*****
At the regular press conference before the game, Klopp of "Dortmund" and "Allegri" of Juventus all said that this will definitely be a wonderful game.
"Allegri" made no secret that the goal of this game is to win, "playing Dortmund, if you can't win at home, then go away, I don't know what will happen."
"Klopp" seemed more cautious. He said: "The opponents in this game are very strong, especially their defensive ability. I watched the "Juventus" game when I was a child. I know how strong Italy's defense is, so our goal is to draw."
Before the game, no matter whether it was the tension of swords or the superficial harmony, the fans knew that when the theme song of the Champions League sounded, everything would enter the rhythm of the game, which is the rhythm of the Champions League.
When the soldiers of "Dortmund" stepped into the "Juventus Arena", they should know that it is not easy to think about the level of Serie A class dominance! !
