Chapter 466 Klopp's sincerity

Zashu Klopp is a German coach, but the team he is currently coaching is not the Bundesliga team, but the Premier League team Liverpool.

After achieving good enough results in the Bundesliga, Klopp came to the Premier League. Although the status of the Premier League seems to have declined recently, everyone will admit that the Premier League may not be the league with the highest level. However, when it comes to the large number of strong teams and the league The degree of difficulty, but it will definitely be the first in Europe!

The Bundesliga is more of a thriving Bayern. Whether it is Dortmund, where Klopp has been, or other dark horses that occasionally emerge, they will at most cause some troubles for Bayern, but they cannot cause Bayern to suffer a lot.

Serie A is still slowly recovering. Although it is difficult to play, the overall strength has dropped a lot compared to La Liga and the Premier League.

In La Liga, apart from the top three in the Western Super League, whether it is Valencia or Seville, they can often only compete for No.4.

Only the Premier League has always shown the momentum of a combination of heroes, especially after entering the new century. It is as strong as Ferguson, but it only won three consecutive championships. At other times, no matter how strong a team is, it has survived two consecutive championships. Compared with the team's five consecutive championships at every turn, it is simply complicated to the limit.

Under such circumstances, it seems understandable that the Premier League team's performance in the Champions League is not stable enough-too fierce internal competition will naturally consume too much energy, resulting in a decline in competitiveness in the European arena.

We must know that when the Serie A World Cup was brilliant, the results in the Champions League were not very good.

There are currently five or six strong teams in the Premier League that are capable of hitting the championship - Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool... These teams are all strong contenders in the Champions League area, but after all, only Four, so often the top four can compete for a breakthrough, not to mention that every year there will be teams like Leicester City, Southampton, and Newcastle that suddenly rise. The difficulty of the Premier League is the first in Europe, which is recognized .

Therefore, although Klopp has achieved outstanding results and is trusted by the management, his performance in Liverpool is not very good.

After three years, he only reached the semi-finals in two years, did not win a championship, and only won one cup championship. Such a result is really not good, although he has stabilized Liverpool, which was once very turbulent. However, for a strong team like Liverpool with a long tradition and glory, this is not enough!

Klopp is also well aware of this.

Liverpool has a long history and a glorious tradition. They were once the best team in England, bar none. They have won the most Champions League titles and the most top league titles... Such a team is naturally the strongest team, and even more so. What's more, they still have the era of the Red Army sweeping across Europe!

There is no dispute that the team on the throne of English football before the establishment of the Premier League was Liverpool.

However, after the establishment of the Premier League, everything changed.

Under the leadership of a generation of legendary Ferguson, Manchester United has risen strongly. The old guy who always likes to chew gum with a red face does what he says and really "pulls Liverpool off the fucking throne". Under the rule, Manchester United's number of Champions League titles is still two less than that of Liverpool, but it has tied up the double-digit league title gap, making Manchester United the team that has won the most top league titles in England, and it is enough to make Liverpool proud , no longer exists!

Liverpool has worked hard for many years, and they have also been infinitely close to the honor of the league championship at certain times, but they are always a little bit short, that is, they miss the league championship.

This is something that makes people feel very helpless.

Last year, under the leadership of Klopp, Liverpool almost won the league championship, but in the end they still took a sigh of relief and could only finish second. Such a result made many famous players in the team desperate. This summer Liverpool has gone a lot Even though they have brought in some players, they have seriously hurt Liverpool's vitality. They were eliminated in the Champions League group stage and did not play well in the league. Now they are only ranked eighth...

Fortunately, Liverpool's management has finally begun to wake up. Instead of immediately dismissing the employer's coach to appease the anger of the fans as they did in the past, they gave Klopp more trust and transfer authority.

The reason is very simple. During the summer transfer, none of the people Klopp asked to stay could stay, and the ones Klopp asked to bring in, they couldn’t bring in either. Instead, they were players that Klopp didn’t need. They introduced a lot, but few of them worked...

Thinking about when the people Klopp wanted played a good role in the previous two seasons, Liverpool's management was finally ready to delegate power.

Of course, as the most conservative club in England, Liverpool's management still has deep worries and worries about handing over the transfer power to a German (everyone knows the discord between the British and the Germans), so this In the winter, they were going to delegate power symbolically. If the situation was good, they would completely devolve power in the summer, lest the fans have any dissatisfaction with this.

And Klopp's request is very simple, that is, to sign Bu Qingyun.

This year's decline in Liverpool's performance is largely due to the lack of such an attacker in the midfield. Liverpool originally had such an attacker, and that is the local attacking midfielder Lana. He was very exciting in Liverpool in the first two seasons. However, after leaving in the summer, Liverpool's midfield lacked such a piece of the puzzle, which caused the entire team's offense to be greatly affected.

Compared with other teams in the Premier League that have excellent shooters, Liverpool is much weaker in this regard. Manchester United has a powerful trident, Manchester City also has a South American striker combination, Tottenham has the number one local center Kenyon, although Arsenal has a famous striker. A pie-spitting center, but most of the time he is still reliable, and he also has two good thighs behind him. Chelsea has several forwards with strong scoring ability. Only Liverpool, their striker partners have combined to score in the past few years. The ball is in his early twenties, and more goals are scored by midfielders.

Although Lana's goals are not many, an average of less than ten in a season, but his scheduling involvement and delivery can make Liverpool, a team that does not have top scorers but has many blooming characteristics, perform well. In the past two years, the number of goals scored by Liverpool has been between 21 and [-] goals, which is similar to the number of goals scored by other giants, but this year?Eighteen rounds of the league have been played, but Liverpool has only scored [-] goals. Compared with the [-] goals scored by the number one Chelsea, it is almost twice the difference. The decline in performance is obvious.

Liverpool has no shortage of scorers. The forward partners Ferno and Sturki both have the ability to score more than double digits. The Brazilian midfielder Cuneo and the Senegalese Marne also have such scoring ability. Everyone else in the world can also score goals, so Liverpool has always scored a lot of goals. This year, the number of goals has decreased so much, it means that there is something wrong with the people who provide the firepower.

So after watching the Club World Cup, Klopp was pleasantly surprised to find that Bu Qingyun was such a suitable candidate.

He can score, organize, and pass. This characteristic is quite in line with the previous midfielder Lana, and Bu Qingyun's scoring and passing ability seems to be better than Lana.

Liverpool already has such a tactical environment. Bu Qingyun can integrate into the team quickly when he comes. Even if he is an Asian player, it may be slower to integrate into the team, but Klopp firmly believes that as long as Bu Qingyun is given some time, He must be able to integrate into the entire team and bring enough improvement to the club!

It is difficult to find players with such a suitable type, and it is even more difficult to find players who happen to be able to introduce Liverpool.

What's more, Liverpool's current finances are not particularly good-if you say that Liverpool, a team with a deep foundation in England, will not worry about running out of money, it's just that Liverpool's old-fashioned management has never made many mistakes Indiscriminate spending and internal friction are their biggest problems. Too much money was spent in the summer transfer market, resulting in very little transfer fees for winter transfers. This is why the Liverpool management is willing to delegate power— — Anyway, there is not much money, you can make the effect, if we give more power, the fans will not have any problems...

The transfer fee in hand is not enough, and several players that Klopp was interested in before could not be introduced, but after he became interested in Bu Qingyun, Klopp immediately prepared to show his sincerity.

He is a very smart person, and he knows a lot about Bu Qingyun, so he is naturally clear. The gesture Bu Qingyun is making now is not so much a bargain, but a desire to see which clubs are more eager for him, and more interested in him. with honesty.

This is very important. Bu Qingyun is very strong, there is no doubt about it, but European giants will always have doubts no matter how well they perform against players outside of Europe. Bu Qingyun has no one to help hype, even if With a market as big as China behind them, the real top giants will not appear too eager. After all, if Bubu Qingyun does not perform well, it will easily damage the reputation of these giants in China.

So after Klopp contacted the Moving Mountain Club and learned about the attitude of the Moving Mountain Club, he made a decisive decision and immediately took his assistant, bought a ticket from the UK to China, and flew over like that.

He doesn't mind showing his sincerity.

Before Christmas, the Premier League teams have a few days of respite. The price of these few days of holidays is that immediately after Christmas there will be continuous campaigns, two games in three days, but over the years, everyone has gotten used to it.

It is precisely because of this schedule that Klopp has time to fly to China to negotiate with Bu Qingyun. You must know that other leagues are basically about to enter the winter break. No matter how sincere you are, you can't show it!

And when he came, he appeared to be more sincere than other teams.
