Chapter 328 Some things are more important than the result

The two sides did not score any more goals in 4 minutes of stoppage time, and the score was fixed at 2 to 2. The first "National Derby" of this season ended in a draw. This result is acceptable to both sides, but it is also a bit regrettable.

After the game, "Guardiola" took the initiative to go to "Klopp", and the two shook hands. Guardiola was different from Mourinho. He was very proud in his heart, but very elegant on the surface. After shaking hands, Guardiola's back disappeared in the player tunnel.

Klopp can't go, he still needs to interact with the fans in the South Stand, which is Dortmund's repertoire.

Li Qiao scored the final crucial penalty and naturally became the fans' hero again. He and Royce accepted the fans' congratulations together, and then walked away silently. He still remembered the agreement with Robben.

"You are awesome", Li Qiao gave Robben a thumbs up.

"You are also very good. If I took the last penalty kick, my legs would be weak."
"I also had weak legs at the time, so I chose to volley vigorously",
Robben scored two goals in this game, which was originally something to be happy about, but he still felt a little bit worried about the fact that the team did not win because of the missed penalty kick.

Robben looked left and right, and the team members left, "I'm sorry, I have to go too." After speaking, he took off his jersey and handed it to Li Qiao, who also handed his own jersey.

Robben put Li Qiao's jersey on his shoulders and walked quickly to the player tunnel. At the tunnel entrance, Robben looked back and thought: "If one day I retire, Bayern can only make up for the vacancy left by me by buying him."

*****
Apart from Robben, there was actually another Bayern player who did not leave. He changed his clothes on the bench, and then he stood up and walked towards the south stand. The fans were stunned when they saw him coming, "What are you doing?
Yes, it is "Lewandowski" who is walking towards the south stand. The fans don't know what he is doing here?After every game in the past, he would come to the South Stand to celebrate with the fans, but this time he is already a "traitor" and he is not eligible to come to the South Stand.

When everyone didn't know what "Lewand" wanted to do, Hummels stepped forward to stop him, "Forget it, I know it's wrong for everyone to boo you and scold you, but we are all professional players, bear with it."

"Hummels" thought that "Lewandowski", like "Adebayor", wanted to give the fans the middle finger after the game, or something provocative.

But Lewandow just smiled, and he continued to walk. When he reached the South Stand, the fans were at a loss. They didn't know whether to boo him or what to do?
When the fans didn't respond, Lewandowski lifted his jersey, which said "Thank you" in German, and then he bowed deeply.

This scene stunned everyone. The South Stand was silent. Lewandowski bowed and turned to leave. Just as he entered the player tunnel, the South Stand gave sporadic applause. Others were either embarrassed or hadn’t figured out what to do, but their hatred for Lewandowski disappeared, and the Dortmund players were also very moved.

*****
The second day after the game is recovery training. Everyone focuses on swimming recovery. This kind of training is very pleasant in normal times, but in winter, even if the swimming pool is heated, it is still only a few degrees. Swimming at such a temperature is still quite cold.

The swimming pool accommodates two people at a time, and others drink coffee in the side room. The national derby can be tied, and the points have not been drawn. Everyone is in a good mood. Klopp usually does not come to recovery training, but today he came to the coffee shop for some reason.

"Coach, why are you here?" Weidenfeller asked.

"Can't I come"?
Everyone laughed, who would dare to say that.

Klopp looked sideways at the two people swimming outside. Now "Mkhitaryan" and "Aubameyang" are swimming. Klopp thought that "Aubameyang" was wronged yesterday, so he went out to comfort him.

"Yesterday's red card, the club is preparing to appeal," Klopp said.

"Thank you", although Aubameyang knows that the success rate of appeals in this kind of matter is almost zero, unless it is proved that the referee is a black call, there is nothing to do if the judgment is wrong.

Klopp squatted down to touch the water temperature and stood up again, "Is it cold?"
At this time, Klopp faintly noticed that the expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him were wrong. He was about to turn around, but the whole person had fallen into the pool.

"I'm going to kill you, Hummels," Klopp yelled.

In fact, when "Hummels" secretly followed behind "Klopp" and prepared to do this, Li Qiao was startled, "Will the coach really get angry? This seems a bit too much."

But Weidenfeller told him that Klopp is often teased by players, at least not so far.

But this time it seemed different. Hummels didn’t take the weather into consideration. Klopp was shivering from the cold when he was fished out, and the players panicked. This kind of prank is okay to play in summer, but it’s not so good to play in Germany in November.

Everyone hurriedly helped Klopp change his clothes and poured a cup of hot coffee.Klopp looked at everyone with a livid face. The players were really afraid that he would suddenly lose his temper.

"Are you happy?"asked Klopp.

Some of them nodded, some shook their heads.

"Are you happy?"
Many people nodded, with uncontrollable smiles at the corners of their mouths.

"Okay you guys are happy, what about me"?
Everyone was silent, not knowing what the coach wanted.

After a while Klopp said: "You, give me a goal in the next game, or I will ask you to jump into the Rhine."

Hummels was dumbfounded, he is a central defender, and he can't score a few goals in a season, but Hummels is a guy, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

"Don't treat the old man like this in the future, otherwise I will really kill people," Klopp said finally.

*****
After the 11th round of the national derby, it will be another international match day. This time it is the European Cup qualifiers. The Chinese team has no competition tasks, so Li Qiao does not need to return to China. The opponent in the next round is not strong. It is "Paderborn" who is fighting for relegation.

I don’t know who said it before the game. The bet between Hummels and Klopp was found out by the media. Some bookmakers offered odds for this, and some media hoped that "Hummels" would lose the bet, so they could watch the German international jump into the river.

Originally, the away game against "Paderborn" was nothing to watch. One was a strong German team and the other was a team that was about to be relegated. But because of this point, this game attracted many media to report.

The first question everyone asks when they see Hummels is "should I dance now, or after the spring blossoms, in Germany, or abroad".

Hummels was depressed and helpless, "I don't necessarily lose."

But the media doesn't care, what is news?What you haven't read is called news, so everyone would rather have no sympathy than watch "Hummels" jump into the river.

On the day the game officially started, the situation changed. The originally expected one-sided situation turned out to be different. "Paderborn" is already the second-to-last. It may be that they urgently need to win. They played very hard in this game.After the opening, it was "Paderborn" who scored the first goal.

In this game, Klopp did not send "Mkhitaryan" and "Royce" who had just returned from the national team. The frontcourt trident was Li Qiao, Kagawa Shinji, and Kuba.

Seeing that the scene was very passive, Klopp made a substitution at 30 minutes into the first half. Mkhitaryan and Royce both played, and the offensive trident returned to its position.

As soon as the main force is on, "Paderborn" is not very good. This kind of small club is mainly composed of young people. They started hard but lack experience. Those who have watched the Olympic team will know that the young players are more passionate but lack experience.

Soon "Royce" and "Mkhitaryan" each scored a goal to overtake the score. Even the fans of "Paderborn" accepted the score behind. They bought tickets to see Dortmund stars.

Suddenly a big poster appeared in the stands saying "Paderborn boys, don't let Hummels score".

The captain of Dortmund saw that this was not going to work. He didn't say hello to Klopp, so he changed his position with Bender and changed to a midfielder. He did not directly promote himself to a forward, which is a face to the head coach.

But Dortmund's three players in the frontcourt are too strong and basically don't need the support of the midfield. Hummels stood in the midfield for a few minutes and didn't get the ball once.

Hummels glanced at Klopp sideways, and with a heartbroken, he ran forward and ran to the front of the Trident. Dortmund became 4231, and the 1 in front ran up on his own initiative.

In this way, Klopp couldn't hold his face anymore. This is nonsense. He found Royce and said, "Tell him to go back, otherwise I will replace him immediately."

After a while, Royce came back, "The captain said to give him 5 minutes, and he will go back immediately if he doesn't score a goal."

Klopp looked at his watch, there was plenty of time, and the team was leading again, so let him mess around for a while.

"Okay, but if he doesn't come back after 5 minutes, I'll replace him with "Papa" right away, you go and tell him."

With the strength of the Dortmund Trident, it was easy to create a scoring opportunity for the captain. After 2 minutes, Royce and Joe Lee disrupted the opponent's entire defense line and finally passed the ball to "Hummels".

After scoring the goal, he ran to Klopp immediately, and the two clapped hands to celebrate. The last prank was over.

In the end, Dortmund beat "Paderborn" 5-1 in the away game, and "Paderborn" also fell to the last place.
