Chapter 133 Klopp's way of reducing blood pressure
"Liverpool went on an expedition to Eastern Europe and lost 1-0 to CSKA Moscow, the Russian Premier League giant. They are at the bottom of the group. They have one foot over the cliff and will be shattered at any time!" - The Guardian
"Throughout the entire game, the entire Liverpool team was affected by the extreme weather in Moscow. The team's core commander Yang, striker Salah Mane and others were all out of shape!" - The Times
"This is the disadvantage of Liverpool Youth Storm! The average age of the main members is less than 10 years old. These young players have no experience in fighting in such extreme weather. Liverpool's failure is foreseeable!" - Daily Mail
"In the UEFA Champions League Group E group match held early this morning, Liverpool lost 1-0 to Russia's CSKA Moscow. Chinese player Mo Yang's Champions League journey may end in the Champions League group stage! Liverpool's contempt is in danger!" - Fujin News Sports
"..."
The day after the team came back, the English media collectively spoke ill of Liverpool. Even many domestic media were not optimistic about Liverpool.
Klopp scoffed after seeing these reports. This is only the second round. To draw conclusions about them now is simply sensationalism and nonsense.
Klopp's top priority now is to dispel the negative emotional impact of this game on the team and not let this defeat affect the league in a few days.
So Klopp did not train today, but took Moyang and the others on a bicycle tour around the city early in the morning to let the players relax.
"Jurgen, your idea is great!"
Peter was riding his bicycle and hanging at the back of the convoy with Klopp. He was really relieved to see Salah and the others chatting and laughing in front of him.
Klopp shook his head and smiled, pointed forward and said: "Look, Yang is still like that!"
Peter was stunned when he heard this. He looked towards the team ahead and saw that Mo Yang, who was riding the bicycle, still looked gloomy, which was obviously in contrast to the others.
"Then what should we do!" Peter's smile disappeared and his brows furrowed.
Mo Yang is now the absolute core of Liverpool. If there is a problem with the commander, there will be big problems in the team's operation during the game!
"Don't worry, Yang will adjust himself!" Klopp replied with a smile.
In fact, the one on the team he is least worried about is Mo Yang.
In Klopp's eyes, Mo Yang has a strong competitive spirit and a very tenacious spirit of never giving up on the court.
This kind of player will never have his condition affected by losing a game. This kind of player often has extremely strong self-adjustment ability.
Klopp is indeed one of the people who knows Moyang best.
Mo Yang left behind the burden of this Champions League defeat after returning to Liverpool yesterday.
Mo Yang now is not the Mo Yang he was at Leeds United. A defeat does not explain the problem.
There is no eternal winner on the court, he will not take advantage of others.
Only if he dares to accept failure will he continue to win!
The reason why Mo Yang was depressed was because he was summarizing himself.
He wanted to find out why his condition was so sluggish in this game.
But after thinking about it, he had no clue at all.
Being affected by the extreme weather in Moscow and the unexpected home game was only part of the reason. Mo Yang couldn't think of the other reasons.
In short, it is very strange. When he is playing on the court, he always feels uncomfortable doing anything, and it is this feeling that affects his state.
"Head, I can't think of the real reason why I was completely out of shape yesterday. Can you tell me the reason?" Finally, Mo Yang asked Klopp for help.
"Is this what you've been thinking about?" Klopp looked dumbfounded when he saw Mo Yang slowing down and coming to his side.
But at the same time, I am also very happy. If a player like this who is good at summing up himself after the game cannot succeed, then God is really blind.
Seeing Salah and the others carelessly playing with each other in front of them, Klopp looked a little disgusted.
"Yang, you have to know that the human body is mysterious and complex. People are all regional. This has a lot to do with people's living habits and the climate and environment in which they live!"
"When a person suddenly enters another unfamiliar environment from one environment, various physiological balances in the human body will be broken instantly, and a brief period of disorder will occur. This requires an adaptation process."
"For example, muscles, hormones secreted by the human body, excitatory conduction of nerves, etc., these will be affected by the cold environment, resulting in a significant decline in body functions. This is what affects your competition status!"
"There is also your psychological factor. None of you have experience in away games in such an extreme environment."
"So the failure of this game is actually not very surprising to me!"
Klopp started to give Mo Yang a comprehensive analysis of various reasons in a simple and in-depth manner. Mo Yang was immediately dumbfounded, and Peter next to him was also dumbfounded.
After Mo Yang got the answer he wanted, he patted his butt and returned to the group of teammates.
Seeing the smile on Mo Yang's face, Peter released his handle and gave Klopp a thumbs up. He is indeed a sports science graduate from the University of Frankfurt.
Soon, the riders arrived at their destination, a developed beach.
For this team building, the club reserved a day at this beach in order to allow the players to have a good time and get rid of the burden of losing the game.
During today's team building, Klopp did not impose any restrictions. The players can all drink a little beer, but not too much, and there is also a barbecue.
Klopp was sitting in front of the barbecue. When he saw Moyang using a volleyball as a soccer ball again, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times and his face was speechless.
He finally knows why Bielsa likes this kid so much.
Because when it comes to football, Mo Yang and that old madman are basically the same type of people.
But Mo Yang didn't survive long before he was taken care of by Salah and Mane's group.
He was directly lifted up and thrown into the sea, where he took a few mouthfuls of the fishy, salty water.
Then the group of people started playing in the sea, and everyone had a great time, completely forgetting the depression of losing the game.
After the water fight, we started playing beach football at Coutinho’s suggestion!
The smile on Mo Yang's face never broke, and he obviously had a great time.
Klopp looked on with a smile, but in fact he was not that optimistic.
This game against CSKA Moscow exposed many problems in the team, all of which are thorny problems.
He has to work on it, otherwise he may end up empty-handed this season.
The top priority is the issue of defense!
This guy Lovren's low-level mistakes from time to time really give him a headache.
Matip is okay, and he is becoming more mature and stable, but he is still a bit far from the kind of central defender he wants.
As for Van Dijk, Liverpool has made its third offer, and the offer amount has reached 50 million pounds.
But Southampton still did not waver at all, rejecting the offer three times with absolute simplicity.
This also made Klopp unable to feel the pulse of Southampton.
I don’t know if Southampton is waiting for a price, or if they really just won’t sell Van Dijk, the core of their defense.
If he is not forced to do so, Klopp does not want to use the illegal and crooked trick of directly contacting the players privately and using the players to put pressure on the club.
Although this is common in football, it can be very troublesome once it is discovered. (To be continued)
