Chapter 360 Get Up Wherever You Fall
On a winter night in 2009, in a small town in the east of Hannover, Germany, a man drove his car onto the railway tracks. When a train roared in the distance, he looked out the window and smiled into the distance.
The next day, a piece of news shocked the world that the German goalkeeper "Enke" committed suicide at the age of 32.
As a football player in this world, if you are a goalkeeper, it is obviously a tragedy to be born in Germany. If you are a striker, then if you were born in Brazil, you may not be able to enter the national team for the rest of your life.
There are so many excellent goalkeepers in Germany that even a goalkeeper as good as Kahn may not be able to guarantee his main position.
And "Weidenfeller" is also one of the excellent players who will never become the main goalkeeper of Germany. There are many goalkeepers like this in Germany, the most typical ones are "Adler" of Hamburg and "Ziller" of Hannover 96.
When "Weidenfeller" made a low-level mistake with a buttery hand, in the next few minutes, he seemed to be sleepwalking. He made mistakes in several simple high balls.
"Weidenfeller" himself knew that he had to concentrate, but he couldn't help thinking about the scene just now in his mind. His actions were so stupid. The famous "hen laying eggs" action of the Manchester United goalkeeper "Taylor" was ridiculed all his life, and now he is also a member of the "Butter Hands" family.
Klopp knew it was cruel to do so, but as the head coach, he had to do it. Klopp turned around and signaled the substitute goalkeeper "Langerak" to warm up.
When "Langerak" ran out of the bench, Li Qiao also felt anxious. "Weidenfeller" is his best friend. Of course, he hoped that "Weidenfeller" would cheer up quickly. The mistakes he made on the football field must be redeemed by yourself.
At this time Li Qiao really wanted to run to "Weidenfeller" to comfort and encourage him, but Li Qiao couldn't do that.
"Weidenfeller" himself also saw his teammate "Langerak" on the bench warming up with the assistance of the goalkeeper coach. He calmed down and recovered a little bit.

At the end of the first half, the home team "Juventus" returned to the locker room with a 1-0 advantage. At this moment, there was a sudden "bang", as if something exploded. It turned out that the Italian fans were setting off fireworks again. Italians really hate this habit, but there seems to be nothing to do about it.
There was a "bang" in the stands, and there was also a "bang" in the dressing room of "Dortmund".
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Weidenfeller said, appearing to realize he was behaving badly.
But Klopp did not accept the apology from "Weidenfeller", "Roman, are you okay after all"?
"Coach, I...",
"NO, I don't want to listen to the explanation, just tell me, are you okay, do you want to stay on the court in the second half?"
Only the voices of "Klopp" and "Weidenfeller" echoed in the locker room, and the others just lowered their heads to drink water or change into dry jerseys.
In the tens of seconds just now, neither of them spoke, but they looked at each other with fixed eyes, there must be a lot of subtext.
In the end, "Weidenfeller" said categorically, word by word, "No problem"!
"OK", Klopp gave a thumbs up, and then signaled "Weidenfeller" to sit down.
"We are behind, boys, we all know how the Italians will play in the second half, defend and counterattack! They are good at it, but my request is still the same sentence, an away goal", Klopp stretched out a finger and held it up.
"In the second half, we still stuck to the style of play in the first half. The two old guys Chiellini and Bonucci turned around slowly, and there were a lot of opportunities behind them. Li Qiao did a good job in the first half, but the follow-up teammates didn't keep up. Think about it. If "Mkhitaryan" and "Aubameyang" were overwhelmed, then it would be a chance to face Buffon single-handedly."
For a coach at Klopp's level, he will only make some programmatic arrangements, and he will hand over the specific tactics to "Bovac".
Klopp waved, "The next step is up to you."
"Buvac" walked to the tactical board and began to explain in detail.
*****
In the second half of the game, Klopp was most worried about two things-first: whether "Weidenfeller" could come out and regain his confidence, and second: Allegri's changes.
Almost all Italian coaches are tactical masters, from "Sacchi" and "Guidolin", to later "Prandelli" and "Ancelotti", and now "Conte" and "Allegri".
The Italian team is like "Transformers", which can change at any time, and the change is very good, which is very admirable.
Sure enough, as soon as the second half came up, "Juventus" changed, "Sleepy" pressed forward, and "Marchisio" returned to defense.
This trick is very poisonous. On the one hand, "Pony" returned to the defense to strengthen the thickness of the midfielder. On the other hand, "Pirlo"'s pass was bloody. "Allegri" estimated that "Juventus" would have many counterattack opportunities in the second half. It is obvious to arrange a "pass master" behind "Morata" and "Tevez".
Klopp really wanted to scold "that's what you raised", because the change of "Allegri" would make "Dortmund" uncomfortable in the second half, pinching "Dortmund" seven inches.Klopp admired and was angry at this.
In the second half, "Dortmund" kicked off first.At the beginning of the game, "Dortmund" launched a fierce attack, but the defense line composed of the three midfielders of "Juventus"-Pogba, Marchisio, and Vidal can be said to be airtight.
"Dortmund" gave Li Qiao a lot of balls, but they just couldn't pass them. Not only that, "Juventus" grabbed the ball and passed it to Pirlo. The latter's scalpel-like through balls repeatedly threatened the "Dortmund" defense.
"It will definitely be abused if this continues," Klopp thought.
But if you want to score a goal away from home, you have to attack, and Klopp can no longer control the situation.
There is no way, Klopp can only exchange Li Qiao and "Aubameyang" back, because the ground ball can no longer pass, it can only be a high ball, and Li Qiao's style of play is not a center forward's style of play, Li Qiao can't get the high-altitude ball.
"It would be nice if Immobile was still here now", thought Klopp, but the Italian had already left during the winter break.
Afraid of what to come, Pirlo wandered in the midfield with the ball, and suddenly he looked at "Pishcheck", the former Manchester United iron guard "Evra" had already assisted, just when everyone saw that Pirlo was about to give the ball to Evra.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, Pirlo turned his ankle and stuffed it behind "Subotic" to "Tevez".
This was too unexpected. "Sleepy"'s acting skills just now were definitely "Oscar-level". "Tevez" cut to the inside. Subotic stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to pull Tevez because he was already in the penalty area. If Subotic fouled, according to the current rules, it would be a penalty kick and a red card.
The two central defenders, Subotic and Hummels, had nothing to do. They looked at "Weidenfeller" and said, "It's up to you."
Facing "Weidenfeller", "Tevez" was going to pass the ball and hit an empty goal. When he twisted his crotch and was about to smash the ball to change the line, "Weidenfeller" kicked decisively. At this moment, Klopp turned around on the sidelines and dared not look.
But "Weidenfeller" kicked the ball accurately, and didn't even give "Juventus" a corner kick. Subotic, who returned to defense, kicked the ball to "Pishcheck". When the latter was fighting with Evra, the referee called Evra for a foul.
When the ball was dead, the whole team rushed to "Weidenfeller" as if he had saved a penalty, and the most exciting was Li Qiao.During the intermission, Li Qiao didn't say a word. He knew that it was useless to say anything at that time, and he had also experienced a low tide. Li Qiao understood that football is played, not spoken.
"You were just like Neuer, like a goalkeeper," Li Qiao shouted at Weidenfeller.
"Weidenfeller" winked at Li Qiao and smiled happily. He made a successful one-handed throw, which restored "Weidenfeller"'s confidence.
*****
On the court, one goes up and down, and the morale of "Juventus" is affected by a one-shot failure. "Klopp" on the sidelines keeps punching, as if he wants to knock down his opponent.
The "Dortmund" players on the field were also excited. Li Qiao's opponent "Lichtsteiner" on the wing was very strong. In order to avoid him, Li Qiao leaned in the middle.
After arriving in the middle, Li Qiao got several opportunities to get the ball and also created several scoring opportunities for "Dortmund".
But the position of the front midfielder is "Mkhitaryan". Although Li Qiao avoided "Lichtsteiner" when he came over, he also overlapped with his own front midfielder. Simply put, it was a waste of one person.
So in the end Li Qiao returned to his left forward position. His teammates trusted Li Qiao very much.
