Chapter 154 The Simplest Decision
"That was just a moment of excitement, I was just responding to Bayern's provocation, and I have apologized to the other party."

When a Chinese reporter asked Klopp for confirmation, the head coach frankly admitted these things:
"That was already three or four years ago, why do you bring up the old things at this time?"

The reporter looked at him with pity in his eyes.

Don't you know how scary the Internet audience in China is?

They can fire you Klopp in minutes!

Disband the Liverpool club and the entire Premier League!

Let the stupid and arrogant Britain, Germany, and the United States sink into the bottom of the sea together!
The reporter also seems to want to save the stupid and arrogant Germans:
"Your remarks have seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, and you should apologize to the 14 billion Chinese people."

Klopp pondered for a second, then lowered his head slightly:
"If you say that, then I apologize. I just wanted to counterattack Bayern Munich. I neither understand nor intend to target China. Now I have the opportunity to work with Chinese players. I believe I will soon This country understands..."

The passionate Klopp in the game is not too arrogant when he is calm. His speeches in many interviews are also regarded by fans as a model of high EQ management. Although this answer is not exciting, it is still quite satisfactory.

But the media headed by The Sun immediately pointed out:

"Obviously, Klopp is bowing his head to the Chinese market, and his speech violated his true heart!"

"Liverpool club is putting pressure on the manager to open up the Chinese market!"

"They are violating the sacrosanct freedom of speech!"

The public opinion in China also did not stop. They broke Klopp's response into pieces for analysis, and the final result was quite sharp:
"Klopp is just playing around! If he really thought he was wrong, why didn't he apologize to us three years ago?"

"His apology is too late! The 14 billion Chinese people will never forgive him!"

"Strongly urge the Liverpool club to expel Klopp!"

……

The situation has gotten a little out of control, and Liverpool CEO Ian Ayer has to deal with it:
"That was a matter of Mr Klopp's time at Dortmund, it had nothing to do with the Liverpool club, but I will remind him that as a public figure, he must care about his words and deeds, and cannot bring negative effects to the club.

Liverpool Club has always attached great importance to Chinese fans and will continue to maintain a good relationship with Chinese fans in the future.Liverpool's good results in recent years cannot be separated from the efforts of the coaches and players, nor can it be separated from the support of the fans..."

Although most of his statements are official rhetoric, they can be regarded as expressing the attitude of the club. In addition, players represented by Henderson have spoken out one after another, and the pressure of public opinion from the outside world has suddenly decreased a lot.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to start the training camp for the new season, the "Sun", which was unwilling to settle down, published a video on the Internet!
This is an unclear video. It can be vaguely seen that two middle-aged men are drinking tea and chatting.

"Don't worry, it's just thunder and rain."

"Hahaha, who cares about the opinions of those Chinese guys!"

"The Chinese have always been beeping...their resistance has never had any effect."

"Lu Ke is in our hands. As long as we grasp this point, we will not be afraid of any pressure from China!"

"That's right, there is only such a player in the whole of China playing in the European League. If they don't watch us, who can they watch?"

The picture is a bit blurry, the sound is intermittent, and the face of the speaker is even more unclear, but both the figure and the voice are so similar to Klopp and Al!

Chinese public opinion suddenly exploded!

This is the case in modern society. Even if you look down on a certain person in your heart, and even want to kill his whole family, you must maintain etiquette in person, unless you can really kill his whole family in the next second.

There must be some face and leeway between people, let alone a country?

Everyone knows that there are varying degrees of discrimination and even hostility towards China in European and American countries, but all officials will never admit it. Instead, they will firmly state that equal treatment and peace and win-win are their purpose.

As long as it's not too much and it's decent, who wants to be filled with sworn enemies all over the world?

The Liverpool club couldn't sit still anymore, they immediately held a press conference and solemnly issued a statement in front of hundreds of reporters:
"This video is definitely not from our mouths! This is someone deliberately discrediting Liverpool FC!

We have filed a request to the police for investigation!Any organization or individual who tries to slander us will be punished by law!

We implore all journalists not to continue spreading unverified news.

We implore all fans to stand with Liverpool FC, we will never walk alone! "

Although the local police in Liverpool have indeed intervened, everyone knows that the pool of water in Liverpool has been completely muddied.

Regardless of whether the characters in that video are Klopp and Ayer themselves, or someone framed them, at least for a short time, the hostility from China made them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

PPTV, which has already bought the exclusive rights to broadcast the entire Premier League in China, immediately stated that it will suspend live broadcasts of Liverpool games in the new season and demand that the Premier League refund related economic losses.

More than ten Chinese sponsors who have reached cooperation intentions with Liverpool announced the temporary suspension of cooperation almost at the same time, and those sponsors who were negotiating rushed to withdraw. Liverpool's direct economic loss exceeded [-] million pounds!
The behavior of these domestic companies has made netizens applaud again and again, but this is far from meeting their psychological expectations.

All eyes are still on England, on Liverpool, on Anfield, and on the Melwood training ground.

They are all waiting for someone to show up and make a statement.

They didn't have to wait long.

2015年8月6日，距离15-16赛季英超开幕只有一天，陆锋终于第一次露面。

In front of the cameras of CCTV team reporter Yang Zhiyuan and cameraman Li Ming, he formally expressed his attitude:

"I sincerely hope that the botched video was not made by Liverpool management, but until the results of the investigation into this matter are out, I will not play any games for Liverpool Club, nor will I attend any official commercial or official organization for it. social activity.

I have already asked the club to terminate the contract. If they do not agree to terminate the contract directly, then I will seek a transfer or loan. If the above methods do not work, I don’t mind spending time and money and using legal weapons to protect my rights. .

Liverpool is a club with a long history. They are also one of the most influential teams in England and even in the world of football. Joining this club once made me extremely happy, but making this decision does not make me feel embarrassed.

It was a very simple decision and I hope the fans understand and continue to support me.

I am Lu Feng, a Chinese football player. "
