When Simeone led the entire Atletico Madrid team to Dortmund, he was surrounded by the media at the airport. Many media wanted to ask the personality of this iron-blooded coach how he thought about Dortmund's approach.

"I heard it." Simeone nodded and admitted. "But I don't know any details other than that, so I can't tell you what I think about it and don't comment easily on things you don't understand."

Simeone is still quite cunning.

But the reporters persevered and continued to ask: "Can you do closed training?"

"I will depend on the situation." Simeone's answer was clear, neither saying no nor saying it was OK. Everything depends on the situation, which gave a lot of room for flexibility.

"Then are you worried that Klopp is studying secret weapons against Atletico Madrid through closed training?"

Simeone smiled: "We will focus on me."

The implication is actually "no worries".

That night, the German TV station broadcast this interview at the airport, and the title used Simeone's subtext, or the subtext set by the media for Simeone: "Simone: We are not afraid of Dortmund's secret weapon if there is..."

In fact, the training of any team cannot be open forever. Even if it is normal, it will only be open to the public for the first fifteen minutes of training, allowing the media and fans to see the players' warm-up training content. When it comes to the tactical training part, everyone will drive away the onlookers and fans.

But this is normal training.

Klopp's closed training directly closed the training base, and reporters and visitors were not allowed to enter. Without a fifteen-minute opening time, the reporters could only be blocked outside the gate.

At the same time, there is no content about training on the official social network account of the Dortmund Club.

This makes the reporters lose the source of the report, which is equivalent to destroying other people's jobs. Of course, the reporters will be very upset, so they will try every means to ridicule and criticize Dortmund.

When Dortmund's team appeared in front of the media again, it was the day before the game to adapt to the field training.

It is also the time when Klopp attends a pre-match press conference. He must appear in front of the media and face the anger and ridicule of reporters. The club's regular press conferences before were cancelled by Klopp, but the pre-Champions League press conference was stipulated by UEFA, and he could not cancel or not come. If he missed such a press conference for no reason, he might be punished by UEFA.

Of course, UEFA will not allow such an example. If there is no punishment, other head coaches will follow suit and not go in a bad mood. So what should I do before the game press conference?

Klopp participated in this pre-match press conference by himself and brought Zhou Yi to attend.

Klopp revealed the reason why the team was conducting closed training: "...I hope the team can stay focused and not be disturbed, so I chose the closed training method. I don't think there is anything special about this, and I am also surprised that you can interpret so many meanings... To be honest, sometimes I admire your imagination..."

Zhou Yi interrupted: "What would happen if humans had no imagination? I couldn't imagine it, so everyone here and all the media friends who did not come, you are all hope for the future of human beings. Please take care of your body..."

The master and apprentice sang together and ran the reporters to the fullest.

Some reporters laughed it off, and some of the slightest swear in their hearts: You'd better expect not to lose to Atletico Madrid, otherwise it's not good to watch in the media!

Some reporters were unwilling to wait for the game to end and now they had to fight back, so they kept trying to "closed training" and insisted on Klopp saying a word.

"It's not normal that even reporters are not allowed to enter the training base to be closed training, right? Moreover, Dortmund rarely did such training arrangements before, and there are speculations about your fear of your opponents. I wonder if it is true?"

After asking the question, the reporter was quite proud and felt that he had raised a very difficult question to Klopp.

If Klopp doesn't admit that they are afraid of their opponents, they are lying. If they admit it generously, they are embarrassed.

Anyway, there are pits waiting for them.

But unexpectedly, after looking at Zhou Yi, Klopp gave an answer that surprised everyone.

"Of course it's not true. We trained in a closed manner just because we are studying the secret weapons against Atletico Madrid!"

Klopp's answer was loud and shocked everyone present.

Zhou Yi added beside him: "Yes, we have been training tactics against Atletico Madrid. Everyone works hard and hard. Now after three days of hard training, we have achieved good results!"

Zhou Yi said seriously, but it made the reporters below laugh.

They hadn't reacted when Klopp said it. By the time Zhou Yi said it, many people thought Zhou Yi was deliberately making fun of it.

Because sometimes Zhou Yi would say nonsensical things in a very serious tone.

For example, this time, if there is no last sentence, someone may really believe it, but the last sentence is revealed, so how can you practice secret tactics in three days? Isn’t this a joke?

So everyone thinks that Zhou Yi is just here to make a funny thing.

Besides, if Dortmund really had secret weapons, how could it be revealed so easily? If their previous closed training camp was for the purpose of keeping it confidential, now he will take the initiative to reveal that it will be in vain?

Although it is only one day before the competition, it is equivalent to pre-warning Atletico Madrid in advance.

The real secret weapon will only be taken out when the game whistle sounds.

Only in this way can one really catch the opponent off guard. How can one announce secret weapons before the game even begins?

This is completely inconsistent with normal thinking and does not conform to Klopp's style.

Klopp is crazy, but he is also cunning.

So he said this, does it really mean that Dortmund has secret weapons?

Media reporters all have to ask a big question mark in their hearts.

And it is not ruled out that Klopp and Zhou Yi are joining together to sing double acts, bluffing, and setting off smoke bombs, interfering with Atletico Madrid's normal preparations, causing them trouble and making them suspicious...

If Atletico Madrid really bothered to guess what secret weapon Dortmund would use, it would be fooled and hit Klopp's mind.

Now everyone knows how cunning Klopp is?

This pre-match press conference was just to dig a hole for Simeone.

So will Simeone be fooled?

When it was Simeone's turn to attend the pre-match press conference, he was asked this question by reporters.

"Secret weapon?" Simeone was stunned at first, then laughed in silence, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but we will still focus on ourselves."

The reporters from Madrid breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be unscathed by Simeone, so they felt relieved.

Simeone is also very cunning. In the process of the two fighting wits and courage, Simeone should not have been taken into the pit by Klopp.

"You really have secret weapons, Zhou Yi?" Sun Pan was talking to Zhou Yi about this issue in the group that "excluding Lao Guo".

Atletico Madrid was once the team where Sun Pan played for two years. Although he left there, he still had feelings for this team. After all, many players in that team, including head coach Simeone, are his Sun Pan's friends and have a good relationship.

Of course he is very concerned about the game between Atletico Madrid and Dortmund.

Zhou Yi did not answer this question directly, but asked him: "Panpan, I know that you have a good relationship with Atletico Madrid, so you are here to find out the news for them, right?"

Sun Pan let out a furious expression: "You think I am! Do you think I am Lao Yang!"

Yang Muge gave a sweaty expression.

However, he could not refute Sun Pan. Because during the first Roulder Bing this season, he was indeed asked by head coach Jens Keller to inquire about whether Zhou Yi could play.

As a result, he was of course "spoken" by Zhou Yi, but he became a spy first in this matter, so naturally he couldn't accuse Zhou Yi of cheating him...

Later, everyone told everything about this in the group, and they knew Yang Muge's failed "infernal Affairs"...

Zhou Yi said: "Oh, it doesn't matter. A gentleman is open-minded, and a villain hides his penis. How could I lie to my brothers with such an honest person? Yes, of course we have secret weapons specifically targeted Atletico Madrid! This was what we thought of together!"

He Ying felt that Zhou Yi’s statement was unreliable: “In three days, what secret weapon can you practice in three days?”

"What's impossible for the whole team to work together? Brothers work together to cut off gold! They work together to create miracles!" Zhou Yi did not answer He Ying's question positively, but instead gave everyone a bowl of chicken soup.

Guo Nu couldn't stand it anymore: "Blow!"

"Damn, even Lao Guo can see that, Zhou Yi, your bluff is really too failed, right?" Sun Pan said with a smile.

"Tsk, if even Lao Guo can understand our awesomeness, then wouldn't we be at the same level as Lao Guo?" Zhou Yi said disdainfully.

"Damn, I don't know what you think, Lao Guo. I'm not a person who is provoking trouble, but if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it!" Sun Pan sowed the disagreement.

Guo Angry expressed his expression of laughing to tears: "I'm not surprised at all..."

When a new round of gangster Guo started in the group, Sun Pan was on the phone with Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.

"Secret weapon? Nothing." Sun Pan said to Simeone in a very affirmative tone. "Zhou Yi always has some tricks, maybe this is what he wants to interfere with you. And he has not done such a thing before? Before the Ruld Bing, Yang Muge asked Zhou Yi privately if he would play. Zhou Yi said no, what the result is? Ah! He caught Schalke 04 off guard!"

"There is still this?" The La Liga team coached by Simeone is not very familiar with what is happening in the Bundesliga.

"Of course there is one. I understand Zhou Yi. The more serious he is, the less he can't believe what he says. He is particularly good at deceiving. Otherwise, how can he play as the core of the midfield organization? Heart!"

Simeone put down the phone and was still recalling what Sun Pan said to him.

Zhou Yi is very young, but in terms of cunning, he is probably already at the level of an old hunter... What a monster!

Fortunately, I have an insider, otherwise I wouldn't be sure what he thought.
