"Tim, I need you to help me observe someone."

In his office, Jurgen Klopp said to a white-haired old man sitting opposite him.

As he said that, he handed a photo to the old man opposite the table.

Tim Kister, the old man with white hair, took the photo and picked it up to see it. It was a black-haired boy wearing a white jersey.

"Jurgen, you called me back from Japan for him?" Kister was a little surprised. "Does there be no free scouts in our club?"

"Of course there is, but I think you are the most suitable." Klopp said, "You have been in Japan and South Korea for a long time and have a good understanding of East Asian football. And I believe in your vision and I need your professional judgment. I have seen a game played by this kid and found advantages from him, but there are also many shortcomings, so I have been hesitating. I hope you can use your professional qualities to check for me. The most important thing is... your wife is Chinese, right?"

Keith nodded.

"So you'll also speak a little Chinese, don't you?"

Kister looked at the photo in his hand in surprise.

"Is he Chinese?"

"right."

Kester narrowed his eyes and looked at the Chinese boy in the photo.

He originally thought that the photo was a Japanese child or a Korean child.

Unexpectedly, what he got was a photo of a Chinese child.

He has a good understanding of East Asian football, and naturally knows what level Chinese football is in East Asia.

Klopp was interested in Japanese and Korean children, and he thought it was understandable, but his interest in Chinese football boys... He didn't know where Klopp came from.

"Two days ago, a Chinese under-17 youth team came to challenge our under-17 youth team. I later learned that this team is not the Chinese national youth team. They are a reality TV show, and the players are selected from the Chinese domestic club echelon. This team has played five games in Europe. In addition to this game with us, in the other four games, they played with Barcelona youth team Real Madrid youth team Atletico Madrid youth team Bayern Munich youth team, but they did not score a goal and conceded 37 goals."

Hearing Klopp's words, Keest was not surprised. He nodded: "It's normal, this is the normal gap between Chinese football and European football."

"Then guess what kind of competition did we play with them in the end?" Klopp asked.

"How many goals did Bayern Munich win?" Kister did not answer this question, but asked back first.

“9:0.”

"Then we can't at least be less than Bayern Munich, right? I guess it's also 9:0." Kester said with his understanding of Chinese football.

Klopp smiled without saying a word after listening to Kester's answer.

Seeing Klopp's expression, Kister was a little confused. Is it because he guessed too much or less?

“10:0?”

Klopp still smiled without saying a word.

“12:0?”

Seeing Klopp still laughing, Kester spread his hands: "It can't be 6:0, that's too little..."

Before he finished speaking, Klopp said: "5:3."

"Ah?" Keest looked at Klopp in surprise.

"The Chinese teenagers scored three goals, and I was on the sidelines. And Gotze also played in this game and played the whole game."

Seeing Kester open his mouth, Klopp knew what he wanted to ask, so he told him the answer in advance.

Hearing Klopp say this, Keest's mouth closed. Yes, he just wanted to ask if Gotze is not there.

As a result, Goce, the most talented in the youth training camp, got into it, and he still beat him like this, and he had nothing to say.

"Do you know who directed the three Chinese team's goals?"

Kester reacted and picked up the photo: "The person you asked me to observe wouldn't be..."

Klopp nodded: "This man is called Zhou Yi. He assisted two goals in the game and scored one goal in the last moment."

"How do you explain the situation where the Chinese team failed to score a goal in four games? Is it because our youth team is too weak?" Kester couldn't understand.

"Because this guy didn't play for a minute in the previous four games."

Kister didn't continue asking.

"As far as I know, this team will continue to play in other places in the future. I hope you can track and observe Zhou's performance. I only observe him alone, and I don't want anyone else."

Hearing Klopp say this, Kester's question arises again: "What if there are better people in their team during this process?"

Klopp shook his head: "It is impossible for someone to be more talented than him. Even the No. 10 player who scored twice in the game is not as good as him."

"Okay, I'll go, where are they going next?"

Klopp handed over another piece of paper, which was a map of Europe, and several cities were circled out with red pens.

"London Manchester Liverpool Milan Barcelona. This is the city they are going to go next. The detailed team and schedule has the back."

After taking the paper and taking the photo of Zhou Yi, Keest left Klopp's office.

Klopp is a first-team head coach who attaches great importance to young players, which can be seen from his series of eastward walks to Dortmund.

As a youth training scout, Kester is naturally happy that his first team coach attaches importance to youth training.

But the person in front of you...

Kester looked down at Zhou Yi in the photo. With his thin figure, he made his jersey look particularly loose, as if the size does not match and it is not suitable.

Such a thin body really contains the talent that makes Jurgen Klopp fall in love with him at first sight?

Even if Kester has seen many young and young players, he is still a little skeptical.

During the team's first training session in London, Hao Dong announced a decision in front of everyone.

"…From now on, Zhou Yi is the core of the team's organization."

Some of the teammates were surprised, but no one opposed it. More people chose to accept this decision.

After the last game against Dortmund Youth Team, the teammates all realized Zhou Yi's level.

Of course, his physical fitness and skills are not the best among this team, and his comprehensive level may still be at the bottom of the team.

But there is one thing that no one has, only he has.

That is his control over the team.

This has been proven in the match against Dortmund Youth Team.

When the football reached his feet, it seemed as if there was a direction. Zhou Yi knew where to pass it. As his teammate, the game became simple, just based on Zhou Yi's passing action.

Although I lost the game against Dortmund youth team, everyone did not feel too frustrated. On the contrary, many people still felt that they performed well in the game.

Why is it good?

Because Zhou Yi seems to have worked with them for ten years, and is very clear about the characteristics of each teammate. If you are fast, you will pass the ball with a large amount of ball in advance. Players who are good at left-foot try not to pass the ball to the right of their body. When facing people who are panicked when pressing, Zhou Yi will immediately open the angle to signal them to pass the ball back...

Of course you will feel comfortable and perform well if you play like this.

With this comparison, many people understand why they lost so cowardly in the first four games... because they are just a mess, and no one can connect them.

In addition to announcing that Zhou Yi is the core of the team's organization, Hao Dong also asked the assistant coach to take other players to train, but left Zhou Yi and He Ying alone.

"How do you feel after scoring three goals from the Dortmund youth team?" Hao Dong asked the two young men.

"It's a pity that I still lost." He Ying said.

"I hope I can win, too." Zhou Yi said.

Hearing the two of them answered this, Hao Dong laughed.

"That means you are not satisfied with just scoring goals?"

"If I can win, I would rather not score a goal." He Ying said firmly.

"I want to win and score goals, ha." Zhou Yi's answer was in line with his style.

"I want to win too." Hao Dong said. "But it's not easy to win, so we have to make full preparations. You are all those who scored goals in the last game, which is the guarantee of the team's offensive firepower. So I hope you two can have more connections and cooperation. Zhou Yi, you play very smartly in the midfield and frontcourt, He Ying, your scoring ability and comprehensive skills. If you can cooperate, I believe... victory is not that far away."

"No problem, coach." As soon as Hao Dong finished speaking, Zhou Yi nodded and responded. "He Ying and I have been sitting in the roommate for so long, and there is no problem with the tacit understanding. Didn't you see the cooperation between me and him in the last game?"

Hao Dong smiled and said, "But we still need to do targeted training."

He Ying looked at Zhou Yi, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Very good" Hao Dong clapped, "Go and train."

Looking at the backs of Zhou Yi and He Ying running to meet with the main force, Hao Dong actually didn't know whether his bet was right this time.

Hopefully, don't put too much pressure on them?
