There is a belief called football

Chapter 432
The game was suspended for 5 minutes, and Subotic was put on an oxygen mask when he was carried off on a stretcher.

Instead of looking at Subotic, Klopp stopped Marcus.

"How about it"?
Marcus did not give a specific answer, "Further inspection is needed, but it is estimated to be an old injury."

Klopp felt his head buzzing, old injury?Klopp knows what this means. Subotic suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament last season, and Subotic was reimbursed for the season that time.

"Will it be reimbursed for the season?"
"Don't know, but it's possible," Marcus said.

Klopp nodded.

This game was originally a friendly match, but this injury made both sides feel uncomfortable. Although Subotic's injury was not anyone's responsibility, that shadow has always enveloped everyone.

In the end, the game ended in a dull and boring way. Both teams had no intention of fighting, and Dortmund did not score any more goals. They won the German Super Cup 2-0.

Soon after the game, Klopp got the news. Unsurprisingly, it was bad news. Subotic’s cruciate ligament was torn and he needed to rest for at least half a year. Klopp asked the team leader to take care of the rest and rushed to the hospital by himself.

"Well, tell the truth," Klopp said to Marcus.

"The most serious case is likely to retire, after all, this is his second cruciate ligament tear",
"When will the surgery be performed"?
"No, I will go to the United States for surgery",
"Why? Our sports medicine in Germany is more advanced than that in the United States, right?"
"It's different this time, because it's the second tear, so a ligament transplant must be performed, and we don't have many places available in Germany",
Klopp almost cried, he knows what it means for a player?If it was 10 years ago, basically there was only one way to retire, but now that sports medicine is developed, it may be cured well.

"I'll leave it to you," Klopp said.

"Everyone wants to go and see Subotic," Hummels reported to Klopp on behalf of everyone.

"No, you are not doctors",
Klopp is actually afraid that the sad atmosphere will infect the whole team, and besides the doctor, no one can help Subotic now.

"But we are teammates",
"Well, let me tell you the truth, the situation is serious, and there is a possibility that his career will end early, do you think it is appropriate to see him now"?
Hummels opened his mouth wide in surprise, unable to say a word for a long time, "Really?"
"You are the captain, don't make trouble for me, I'm bored enough."

Hummels nodded, "Then I'll go and coax them."
"Well, lie to them if you have to."

"I know",

In Zorc's office, the Big Three gathered again. Because of Subotic's injury, the team had to consider signings.

"God is playing with me, I just turned away a Papa, but the main central defender was seriously injured", Zorc said angrily, hitting the desk in front of him.

"Michael, calm down, there is still some time before the transfer window ends, we still have time," Watzke said.

There is indeed plenty of time, but the problem is that there is a shortage of good central defenders in Europe, especially cost-effective ones.

"Jurgen, don't worry, if you want to increase the budget, you can tell me, and I will fully cooperate with you," Zorc said.

After the meeting, Klopp immediately asked the club scouts to recommend players to him, and the list of five players will be handed in by 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.

In the end, the list was handed over to Klopp's table on time, namely "Naldo" of Wolfsburg, "Toprak" of Leverkusen, "Makinos" of Paris Saint-Germain, "Sissoko" of Lyon, and "Manolas" of Rome.

Klopp looked at the list and nodded. It is really difficult to find a central defender who meets the coach's requirements and is not too expensive overnight. Klopp is quite satisfied with the work of the club's scouts.

Two days later, Zorc brought bad news to Klopp. None of the players on the list could handle it. Either the players looked down on Dortmund, or the transfer fee was ridiculously high, or the team didn't want to sell at all.

Klopp also understands that no team is willing to sell the main central defender before the start of the season, unless the price is very high.

"If it doesn't work, use Gentle," Klopp said.

Zorc shook his head, "There is still time, don't draw conclusions, we are fighting on the third front this season."

Klopp knew Zorc was right, "Okay, keep searching".

In recent days, the training players have not seen Klopp, and the assistant coach is leading the team. Although the club is silent, everyone knows that the club is busy looking for someone to replace Subotic.

After the training, the two big brother players in the team - Weidenfeller and "Hummels" got together to chat.

"Jurgen is under a lot of pressure," Weidenfeller said.

"Probably so. Good defenders are scarce in the transfer market. It's hard to say whether we can get a suitable one before September 9. If we play with the current lineup, it will be difficult for us in the Champions League and the league."

After chatting for 10 minutes, Weidenfeller saw Li Qiao in the distance waving at him, "Okay, I'm leaving."
"By the way, Bayern's Kirchhoff is actually pretty good, why don't you recommend it to Jurgen," Weidenfeller said.

Hummels chuckled and thought: "It turns out that Roman has already made up his mind, but Bayern is against the tide in Dortmund, and I can only say what is most appropriate for me",
"Kirchhoff"?Klopp closes his eyes and contemplates the player.

"It's really good. He is a player with great potential. More importantly, he is not the main player in Bayern. It is estimated that the price will not be too expensive."

"It's just that we don't have much contact with Bayern anymore," Klopp said.

Hummels thought: "Then I have nothing to do, I can only give you an idea, other things are beyond my control."

Klopp saw that Hummels didn't speak anymore, "Well, I see, you go out."

After Hummels went out, Klopp began to think carefully about this issue. He walked to the window and said, "Kirchhoff has Bundesliga experience and is about the same size as Subotic.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Klopp thought to himself: "This Hummels is really real, did you think of someone to recommend again?"

"Come in, do you think of someone again?"
But after the door opened, it was not Hummels but Li Qiao who came in. Klopp was a little surprised.

"What's up, Joe"?
"I heard Roman said yesterday that you are worrying about the central defender"?
Klopp chuckled, "Yes, but you don't have to worry."

"Then can I recommend someone"?
Klopp is more happy, "who"?
"My teammate of the national team, Zhou Dun"!
As soon as this remark came out, vivid scenes immediately appeared in Klopp's mind, "Why didn't I think of him earlier", Klopp thought to himself.

When Klopp was excited, he forgot everything. He left Qiao Li and rushed to Zorc's office.

"Zhou Dun"?Zork asked.

"Yes, I want him, you can handle it for me",
"why"?
"No Why, Sixth Sense",
Zorke had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll try."

If it was Zhou Dun before the injury, "Tottenham Hotspur" would be impossible to sell, but after an injury, Zhou Dun's position in "Pochettino"'s heart was not as good as before. Therefore, when receiving the inquiry from "Dortmund", Tottenham did not say whether to sell, but the asking price was relatively high, 2000 million.

Zorc knows that Tottenham spent 7 million when they signed Zhou Dun 1200 months ago, and now the price is 2000 million, which is indeed black enough, but the problem is that Dortmund is short of people now, so it's no wonder that Tottenham didn't bite you.

Zorc couldn't make up his mind, 2000 million euros was a big deal for the team, so the Big Three held another meeting for this matter.

"Jurgen are you sure?"
Klopp nodded solemnly, "I'm sure he is the player I want."

"You should know that if this deal fails, the club will not have more money to make up for your mistakes during the winter break",
"unnecessary",
From a historical point of view, "Klopp" is rarely so sure, but as long as the things that Uncle Zha has determined are successful, Li Qiao is the best example.

"Okay then," Zorc said.

This deal is really simple, as long as "Tottenham Hotspur" is satisfied in terms of money, there are no other problems.

One day later, Dortmund officially announced the blockbuster news. Tottenham defender Zhou Dun transferred to Dortmund for a transfer fee of 2000 million, signed for 4 years, and the annual salary was the same as that of Tottenham.

The three parties involved in this deal were very happy. Dortmund found their favorite central defender, Tottenham earned 800 million in half a year, and Zhou Dun joined a club that could play in the Champions League. Soon, Zhou Dun rushed to Dortmund to complete the contract. He got the No. 22 jersey.

After securing the transfer, Klopp immediately started preparing for the game. The first round of the Bundesliga will start on the weekend. Dortmund's first opponent will be difficult to deal with, which is "Borussia" in the North Rhine, which is also a Prussian derby.

The home game, the expectations of the fans, and the pressure on the top management of the club are all great. Klopp was very frank in the press conference before the game. For Dortmund in this game, there is no second way except to win.

After Zhou Dun came to Dortmund, he stayed at Li Qiao's house temporarily, because he was included in the starting lineup of the first game of the Bundesliga by Klopp. For a Chinese who can't speak German, this is both pressure and motivation.

Klopp looked at the three rookies on the three lines - Zhou Dun, Wang Kong, and Gomez. He had already begun to look forward to the new season.
