There is a belief called football

Chapter 376
"call out……",
The sound of a ball passing through the air.

"Almost", Weidenfeller said to Li Qiao, at the same time, he gave Li Qiao a thumbs up.

This was specially practiced by Klopp in the pre-match training-Li Qiao lobbed a shot from 40 meters away!
"Go on, Joe, just get to a 30% success rate," Klopp said.

Li Qiao nodded at Klopp and continued to practice long-range lob shots. Is there any point in this long-range lob shot without confrontation and without a goalkeeper?

It seems that there is no!
Because any team will not have such a training subject, the biggest reason is-useless.

But today Klopp seems to be particularly interested in this. He first asked the other 10 Dortmund starters except Weidenfeller to practice lob shots, and then eliminated them through the "success rate". In the end, Royce and Li Qiao remained.

The reason why Klopp has such inspiration is because he knows Bayern's goalkeeper "Neuer" very well. After the quarter-finals of the Brazil World Cup last year-Germany VS Algeria, "Neuer" created a brand new position in football history-the goalkeeper.

Although "Neuer" became very popular after that game, in fact, in Klopp's view, that game was very thrilling. Imagine if "Algeria" had a lob shooter in the midfield, then the German team might lose.

Therefore, facing the characteristic of "Neuer", Klopp formulated a corresponding plan, code-named "Operation Bait".

This plan is divided into two parts-first, lure Neuer out, and second, precise long-range lobs.

These two parts are easy to say, but difficult to do. Klopp discovered by watching a lot of videos of "Neuer" games that when the ball is in the arc of the penalty area, "Neuer" especially likes to attack, especially half-high balls. Neuer's attack rate is 70%.

Therefore, Klopp asked his players not to make bottom passes in this game, and to pass the ball to the arc of the penalty area whenever they had the opportunity to draw "Neuer" out.

Another point-lobbing, Klopp chose Li Qiao and Royce. When the time comes, the others will send the ball to the feet of the two.

After the arrangements were made, Klopp repeatedly rehearsed his ideas. Uncle Zha knew that against a strong team like Bayern, a one-sided attack would be difficult to be effective, so he had to do his work very carefully. The devil is often hidden in the details. Some people say that details determine success or failure.

After practice again and again, Li Qiao's success rate was slightly higher than Royce's. Royce was not convinced and stepped up. The two seemed to be competing, which made Klopp very happy. After Li Qiao came, Royce also changed. Royce was the undisputed core of the team before, but now it is different. The little rocket has a lot of pressure.

After being basically satisfied, Klopp led the team to Munich. Dortmund and Munich go north and south. It is impossible for the team to take a bus. In order to ensure the status of the players, the club specially rented a special plane to escort the team to Munich.

*****
The whole Dortmund team arrived in Munich one day earlier because they needed to attend the pre-match press conference. Otherwise, Klopp would just want to arrive before the game, so as to reduce the interference outside the field. Klopp knew that the Munich blacks did not welcome Dortmund.

Dortmund's itinerary is public, so on the day Dortmund is scheduled to arrive in Munich, the "Munich Daily" published a welcome message - "Welcome Li Qiao to Munich", why welcome Li Qiao alone?Ha ha, everyone knows this.

In 2009, the most popular star in the Bundesliga at that time was the Brazilian "Diego". Diego, who played for Werder Bremen, had always been the player Bayern most wanted. One day, the media photographed "Rummenigge" and Diego's agent, who was also Diego's father eating hamburgers on the roadside.

Although it was later proved that Diego's father approached Rummenigge only to ask for a higher salary with Juventus, so he approached Bayern to raise the price, but the "Munich Daily" has always been the first media to report Bayern's transfer news, and most of the news is still reasonable.

Munich fans are also preparing to make a large "TiFo" to welcome Li Qiao, but the specifics can only be known after the game.

In short, although Bayern officials strongly deny it, the unofficial Bayern organization has already regarded Li Qiao as their own family in advance.

The Bayern Fans Association also launched a game - PS Li Qiao wearing a Bayern jersey creative contest, the best PS can get two Allianz weekend tickets.

*****
Of course, these Dortmund parties know that Klopp’s unprecedented announcement of the press conference before the game is only 5 minutes. Generally, the pre-match press conference lasts about half an hour, but Klopp is very shameless. He emphasized that he will only be present for 5 minutes, and his assistant coach will face the media for the rest of the time.

When Klopp walked into the press room and sat down, he took out his mobile phone, "I have set the time, and I will leave as soon as 5 minutes are up."

"Will Li Qiao leave at the end of the season"?
Klopp wanted to go crazy, but he had already agreed for 5 minutes, so even if he was going to hell for these 5 minutes, he would endure it.

"I don't know, but one thing is for sure. Even if Li Qiao wants to leave, he will go to other leagues. I can guarantee that he will not go to Bayern, definitely not"!
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking: "How can this be guaranteed, Li Qiao didn't sign the contract of sale."

"Will the club consider renewing the contract with Li Qiao?"
"Of course, if he is willing, we are willing to provide Li Qiao with a lifetime contract. Even if he gets injured in the future, we will support him. We will not treat "Elber" like Bayern."

(Although Elber's condition declined back then, he was willing to cut his salary and stay at Bayern, but Bayern, who had already hired the Dutchman "Markay", eagerly sold Elber to Lyon).

"How is your personal relationship with Guardiola?"
"I have no personal relationship with anyone at Bayern"!
"Will you leave Dortmund"?
At this moment, Klopp's cell phone rang. Five minutes had passed. Uncle Zha didn't stop for a second. He stood up and left the press room immediately.

"Can't you finish the last question?" ?

There were only a group of reporters who didn't know how to write a press release in the press room. This was the worst pre-match press conference they had ever attended. Obviously, it was not so much a press conference as Klopp's venting meeting. Klopp obviously came with emotions.

*****
When it's Guardiola's press conference, the reporters can ask something about the game, and there is plenty of time for Guardiola's press conference.

"If Bayern wins this game, is it basically equivalent to winning the championship?"
This question made Guardiola laugh. It is true that the current situation is very delicate. After this round of games, there are 7 games left in the Bundesliga. If Bayern wins, they will lead Dortmund by 9 points and have an advantage of 3 games.

"I don't know, but what I know is that we won this game and we are nine points ahead, which is a big advantage," Guardiola said.

The reporters at the scene laughed and cooperated with Guardiola very much. Most people think that Bayern's league championship this season is almost a certainty.

"Will you go to the Premier League"?
"I have one season left on my contract with Bayern",
This is Guardiola's standard answer. Not only after coming to Bayern, but in fact, as early as in Barcelona, ​​Guardiola was often associated with the Premier League, because Guardiola himself said that he likes the rhythm of the Premier League.

"You said last season that not winning the Champions League is a failure, so what is the goal of this season's Champions League?"
"Why doesn't anyone care about the upcoming Clasico"?Guardiola asked with a wry smile.

Gua Shuai's cuteness amused everyone, but it's actually very simple, because now the whole of Germany is preconceived, thinking that there is no suspense about Bayern winning the championship.

"Don't forget, if we lose, Dortmund are only three points away," Guardiola said.

"Don't be funny, everyone thinks that Dortmund's 15-person third-line battle will become more and more unsustainable, unless Klopp gives up the Champions League",
In fact, in the two years when Dortmund won the championship, they were out of the Champions League early. Klopp focused on the league, and the team won the championship in the end. With the depth of Dortmund's bench, it must only focus on one game.

But Guardiola’s thinking is different from ordinary people. After Bayern beat Hamburg, Gua Shuai even criticized the players. He felt that they missed a few good opportunities. As the top five coaches in Europe, Guardiola’s obsession with football has reached the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Please don't gossip about my privacy anymore, otherwise I will leave early like Jurgen," Guardiola said.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and the reporter was very sensible, asking some tactical questions-whether Lahm will be a right back or a midfielder in this game, will Alonso start, how is Lewandowski's recent state, why does Ribery's injury always fail to heal?
The press conference finally returned to the theme, and Guardiola eased his attitude. He answered all the questions seriously, but the last question made Guardiola a little hesitant-"Franck Ribery...".

Halfway through, Gua Shuai hesitated, and finally Gua Shuai said: "About Ribery, you should ask Bayern's medical team, they know better than me."

This answer was unexpected, and the reporter with a keen sense of smell seemed to smell the smell of discord, because Guardiola's answer was obviously dissatisfied with Bayern's medical team.
