Chapter 47

"I'm Your German Teacher!"

With Su Bai's thunderous shot.

The B-team players also began trying to get the ball out to the right during attacks.

Very quickly!

Su Bai's unimaginable changes of direction left Borussia Dortmund's stars wide-eyed.

Although Reus could keep up with Su Bai's speed.

Su Bai's terrifying balance meant Reus had no chance whatsoever of taking the ball from his feet.

Su Bai bulldozed all the way to the edge of the penalty arc with Reus in tow.

Just as Marcel Schmelzer stepped up to press him.

Su Bai unleashed that nearly unstoppable change of direction while dribbling at high speed.

He fiercely nudged the ball with his left foot, then slipped past Schmelzer like a ghost!

In just one exchange.

Schmelzer had been left directly behind by Su Bai.

After shaking off Schmelzer, Su Bai rose up and fired with his left foot while still carrying Reus on him.

"Bang!!!"

It was the same explosive boom as always.

But this time, Su Bai's shot unexpectedly struck the crossbar.

"Clang!!!"

The crossbar trembled from Su Bai's thunderous strike.

That clang sounded more like a cry of pain.

In front of goal, Weidenfeller stared blankly at Su Bai, who stood before the goal with disappointment written across his face.

A monster!

An absolute monster!

That was Weidenfeller's assessment of Su Bai.

Beneath that ferocious physique lay such insane power in his feet!

Once this guy got going, there was simply no way anyone could stop him.

On the sidelines, Klopp nodded in satisfaction as he watched Su Bai's performance.

Su Bai was perfectly suited to his tactics.

With a winger like a savage beast.

He did not dare imagine just how crazy Borussia Dortmund would be this season.

Reus on the left, Su Bai on the right!

The combination of speed and power!

And Lewandowski through the middle.

"Alright!!!"

After Su Bai failed to score, Klopp ended the intrasquad training match.

Borussia Dortmund's training was not limited to such dull internal scrimmages.

Once the training match ended, every player on the pitch began packing up his equipment.

Su Bai, meanwhile, was completely baffled.

What the hell was going on?

It was only ten o'clock?

Dortmund only trained for an hour and a half?

This...

"Hi! Su, hurry up and come with me. We're going to the tactics room!"

Seeing Su Bai at a loss, Sahin walked over and spoke to him.

"The tactics room?"

"Yeah. Didn't anyone tell you? Every week, we have set times to study tactics and analyze our opponents' tactical setups in the tactics room."

Su Bai was somewhat surprised by Sahin's words.

He had never known that Klopp actually did this.

No wonder Klopp's Borussia Dortmund had been able to spark a youth revolution across world football.

This was truly all-round development in morality, intelligence, and physical ability.

Seeing that Sahin was still waiting for him.

Su Bai quickly packed up his bag and followed Sahin into the club building.

It was a fairly small meeting room.

A massive screen stood in front of rows of desks.

Klopp was already setting up the equipment with the assistant coaches.

Su Bai quickly followed Sahin and sat down in the last row.

"Su! Come, sit here!"

However, seemingly noticing that Su Bai had seated himself in the back, Klopp called him over to sit in the very front row.

Once he saw that everyone had arrived.

Klopp instructed the assistant coach to begin.

On the massive screen was footage from Borussia Dortmund's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

However, the video had clearly been edited afterward.

Numerous passing routes had been drawn over the footage.

And Klopp's tactical lesson began from there.

"I don't think any of you here are unfamiliar with this footage!"

The moment he opened his mouth!

He was actually speaking English.

The other players immediately turned to look at Su Bai. No wonder Klopp had called him to the front row—what treatment!

"We held on until the final minute!"

"But a loss was a loss!"

After that opening speech!

Klopp was still the same old Klopp.

When it came to firing people up, even Master Ban would probably have to acknowledge him as the strongest.

Even Su Bai, who had still been watching television in Argentina last season, had his blood boiling from Klopp's speech.

"Gegenpressing!"

"This is what we will continue to do!"

"We must place great importance on the transitional moments between attack and defense!"

"The fundamental reason we conceded was that, in the instant after attacking, our attacking and defensive units became disconnected!"

For a full hour.

Su Bai was left utterly stunned by Klopp's tactical philosophy.

For the first time, he realized that football was not simply about dribbling, shooting, and passing.

After years of exploration, Klopp had already completely mastered a tactical style that was uniquely his own.

Overall, what Klopp valued most was rapidly pressing the opposition after losing possession in order to win the ball back.

To implement his signature high press, Klopp always attacked in a fairly narrow formation.

And in this tactical system of his, the two flanks were the most important.

Su Bai finally understood why Klopp had lowered himself to fly all the way to Argentina to find him.

It was not because he was supposedly Messi's successor.

Most importantly, his traits seemed as though they had been tailor-made for Klopp.

His freakish physical attributes and speed allowed him to tear through defenses in attack while also putting immense pressure on opponents during the high press!

Everything about him made him seem like a player customized for Klopp.

"Su! The most important thing for you right now is to learn German as quickly as possible!"

"If you can't communicate with your teammates, you won't succeed!"

After the tactical lesson ended, Klopp took the initiative to approach Su Bai and said.

Although most Borussia Dortmund players could speak English, this was still the Bundesliga.

They generally communicated in German.

Because the weather was hot that afternoon, the club did not arrange any training.

Su Bai headed straight back to his mansion.

But not long after he got home.

His doorbell suddenly rang.

"Excuse me?"

Someone was knocking at the door?

Su Bai didn't know anyone in Borussia Dortmund.

Puzzled, Su Bai opened the door.

A pretty girl with a ponytail stood outside.

Black hair!

The girl across from him wore a brilliant smile.

"Damn, you kept me waiting forever! Why did it take you so long to open the door?"

That was fucking Chinese.

And the key was that the girl in front of him still had that sweet smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm your German teacher!"

This time, it was English.

Watching the girl switch languages so effortlessly, Su Bai was stunned.

This was one fucking talented person.
