So what if I'm just strolling around the field? My shots are guaranteed to go in.

After eating, the two rested for a while before returning to training.

This time, the two began practicing coordinating with each other.

In yesterday's match, both players experienced the benefits of teamwork, which gave them even more confidence in this type of training.

So the two spent the whole morning practicing passing and teamwork.

…………

In an office on the fourth floor of the training base's office building, Borussia Dortmund's first-team head coach, Jürgen Klopp, was frowning as he pondered the team's plans for the end of the season.

So far this season, Borussia Dortmund's performance on all fronts has been outstanding.

They are currently firmly in second place in the domestic league.

However, they are currently quite far behind league leaders Bayern Munich. With only six rounds remaining in the league, their chances of winning the title are virtually nil.

However, they have 7 more points than third-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Therefore, by the end of this season, they were not under much pressure.

They may not have a chance to win the title, but they can secure a Champions League spot for next season.

Therefore, the domestic league is no longer his main focus.

Klopp is currently most concerned about the Champions League and the German Cup.

Among these, they have already secured a place in the final of the German Cup.

The opponent in the final will once again be their old rival, Bayern Munich.

Klopp doesn't want to lose to this opponent.

They have been suppressed by their opponents in the league, and the German Cup is the best stage for them to overthrow their dominance.

Therefore, this match requires careful consideration.

Compared to the German Cup, Klopp is more concerned about the Champions League matches.

They have now eliminated La Liga powerhouse Malaga in the quarterfinals and advanced to the semifinals.

Their opponent in the semi-finals is the Champions League champions, Real Madrid.

Klopp was a little apprehensive about facing such a formidable opponent.

However, Dortmund is not entirely without a chance.

Borussia Dortmund is currently at its strongest and most well-equipped.

Lewandowski, Götze, Gündoğan, Reus—these young players have all matured.

This year is a reaping season for Dortmund.

Therefore, even against an opponent like Real Madrid, Klopp is confident of winning.

However, in order to defeat a powerful opponent, he, as the head coach, must be extremely meticulous and consider all aspects, and absolutely cannot afford to be negligent in any way.

So these past few days, Klopp has been focusing all his attention on thinking about the next two important matches.

Suddenly, a notification sound came from my computer indicating that an email had been received.

Klopp's thoughts were abruptly interrupted.

I opened my email and saw an email marked as important.

The sender was Kent, a scout for the club.

Kent is a scout at Borussia Dortmund responsible for tracking and selecting young players.

My usual job is to track and scout players from the youth team.

The email he sent was likely a report concerning matters related to youth players.

Klopp has always attached great importance to the selection and development of young players.

Several players who are active in the first team now were discovered and promoted by Klopp from the youth team a few years ago.

So when he saw that it was Kent's email, he immediately opened it.

The email was brief, mentioning a youth league match yesterday between Borussia Dortmund U19 and Schalke 04 U19.

In the email, Kent highlighted Schneider's performance after returning to the youth team from the first team.

Klopp certainly remembered Schneider.

This player has good technique, a good overall view of the game, and good tactical execution.

He is considered a very promising talent in the youth teams over the past two years.

However, the other party has a fatal flaw.

That is because his body is too thin and he simply cannot adapt to the high-intensity competition of the first team.

This was also the main reason why he ultimately decided to let the other person return to the youth team for training.

However, as a talented young player, Klopp certainly wouldn't let him go unchecked.

So he also instructed Kent to pay more attention to the other party's development.

If the opponent can overcome their shortcomings through hard training in the youth team, even if they only reach the minimum standard of the first team, he will recall them to the first team again.

After all, talented people are hard to find.

However, if the opponent cannot withstand the blow and becomes depressed, then Klopp will have no choice but to make the difficult decision and give up on them.

In that case, their final destination might be a team in the German second or third division, ultimately fading into obscurity.

Ultimately, how things turn out depends on the individual's efforts.

Klopp was quite pleased after reading Kent's description.

He came on as a substitute in the second half and still managed to get two assists. That's quite a good performance.

If the opponent can maintain this level of performance in every game, then returning to the first team should be a matter of time.

However, Kent's email did not focus on introducing Schneider.

Instead, it was another player from the U19 team.

"Lin Fan? A Chinese player!"

Klopp frowned when he saw the somewhat awkward name.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Chinese players, he knew that China was a football wasteland.

In previous years, there were a few Chinese players who played for mid-to-lower-tier teams in the Bundesliga.

However, they have all disappeared in recent years.

Clearly, the players from the other country are no longer at a level suitable for a league like the Bundesliga.

I never expected that there would be one in my own youth team.

And it also attracted Kent's attention.

Klopp knew that this Chinese player must have some talent to have caught Kent's attention.

However, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw Kent's introduction of Lin Fan.

He scored four goals in one match, and each one was absolutely brilliant.

This performance was truly phenomenal, even by youth standards.

Furthermore, Kent also attached a video at the end of the email.

After downloading the video, Klopp clicked play.

Then he saw a compilation of all four of Lin Fan's goals.

Looking at that tall figure on the computer screen, watching his various goal-scoring performances during the match, even the well-traveled Klopp was somewhat dumbfounded.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

After watching the video, Klopp quickly checked Kent's introduction of Lin Fan in the email.

This is a player capable of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, frequently scoring spectacular goals. This indicates the opponent has extreme self-confidence.

[His weaknesses are also obvious: he tends to be lazy during matches and often seems detached from the team.]

Therefore, continued observation is necessary.

After watching the video and reading the introduction, Klopp leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Klopp suddenly picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

Once the call was answered, Klopp immediately got straight to the point: "Kent, I've read your email. Your task has changed. From observing Schneider, you're now observing both Schneider and Lin Fan. Send me an email every week to report back."
