In the German Cup semi-finals a month ago, Bayern and Dortmund met in advance.
In that game, Bayern defeated Dortmund, who was distracted and fighting on two fronts, and successfully advanced to the German Cup final.
After the game, Klopp said this.
"Bayern now is just like China's commercial and industrial fields. They first look at what others do, then they copy it, then use more money and players to copy the same route, and finally become stronger."
Although due to the pressure of public opinion, Klopp finally apologized to Bayern coach Guardiola, but he did not reflect on his attitude towards China. Instead, he told reporters: "I am very happy now, at least the Chinese did not trouble me. .”
These words made Yun Sheng very dissatisfied!
Klopp's attitude towards China has always been extremely arrogant.
In the summer of 2012, Bayern Chairman Uli Hoeness made some remarks during his trip to China: "If you ask a random passerby on the streets of China's imperial capital which club in Germany they know, the answer must be Bayern, not Dortmund. "
Regarding this matter, Klopp countered: "I don't care at all about how many Dortmund fans there are in China. They have nothing to do with the excellent results we have achieved."
In the parallel world of later generations, Klopp, who has already coached Liverpool, made no secret of his inner disdain after Teixeira, whom he fancied, was signed by the Chinese Super League: "Players only go there for money. Yes, China is only suitable for vacation, not for coaching or playing football."
Regarding these remarks, there has been a lot of controversy in the domestic fan circle in China.
Some fans reacted fiercely. They felt that Klopp's behavior was "insulting China" and was unforgivable. They should boycott him!
Some fans think it's making a fuss out of a molehill. They think Klopp's criticism is not malicious slander, but just rude. There is no need to be so sensitive. After all, everyone has the right to criticize others.
But whether in his past life or this life, Yun Sheng was a little disgusted by this matter.
From a football perspective, he actually likes Klopp, a passionate coach who has brains, intelligence, and emotional intelligence. He is an outstanding top coach.
If he didn't recognize him, Yunsheng wouldn't say good things about Klopp in front of Dortmund chairman Raubal.
I thought some things would never happen in this life, but they finally happened!
When Klopp said these words, Yun Sheng was still very dissatisfied, even extremely disgusted!
Those fans who say it doesn’t matter, are you really the holy white left? If someone said in front of you that your mother was crooked, ugly, low-quality, and uneducated, would you smile, applaud, and respect the other person's rights?
It's not that Yunsheng's national pride is too strong, or that he is too sensitive inside, but that he is now qualified to stand up and say something on behalf of Chinese football!
On the morning of February 18, the day before the game, Yunsheng held a press conference at Depor Club. He showed no mercy this time and directly expressed his thoughts.
“When I heard that Klopp apologized to Bayern coach Guardiola, I thought he was an aboveboard person, but when I heard that he was ‘happy that no Chinese were bothering him’, I felt very unhappy! "
"What nonsense is he talking about? What happened to China's business and industry? Plagiarism? Copying? If I hadn't understood German, I would have even thought it was a translation problem, because I don't think anyone with a brain can use this. Plant words!"
"A few decades ago, our Chinese economy was far behind Europe and the United States. I don't deny this. But with the efforts of our nation, we have now become a country that no one dares to underestimate! China's business success , China’s industry strives for excellence, what’s the problem with this?”
"Plagiarism? If you have the ability, you should also copy China's governance and management! Copy? If you have the ability, you should also copy China's national spirit and unity and hard work! When you say this, you don't want to see China take off. ?”
"The dispute between you and Bayern should be settled on the football field. Don't involve other countries and nations. It's boring. And I don't want to say too much today. I'll see you on the field tomorrow. If Klopp doesn't understand what I'm saying, If so, then I can help him end this season’s Champions League journey in advance and help him free up more time to think about how to be a human being!”
Yun Sheng's words caused an uproar in the international football world!
Although he did not say any more outrageous words, the "Klopp insult to China incident" became more and more intense after being exaggerated by the media.
"AS": "Klopp looks down on yellow people! This is serious racial discrimination!"
"France Football": "Football is football and should not be linked to politics!"
"Kicker": "Maybe Klopp's words were not malicious, but they did have a very bad impact on Dortmund and German football."
Bayern sports director Sauer: "Klopp has already apologized to Bayern. I think he should also apologize to Yunsheng and China!"
Arsenal coach Wenger: "I support Yun Sheng's statement! In the Premier League, anything related to racial discrimination is prohibited. If it were in the Premier League, Klopp might have been suspended!"
"Turin Sports": "During the 2012 European Cup, Balotelli encountered serious racial discrimination. At that time, Yunsheng stood firmly by his side. This matter was even more important than winning the championship! Yun Sheng is a staunch 'anti-racist person' and will never allow any discordant voices to appear on the pitch, let alone the one being insulted this time is his motherland!"
After several European mainstream media spoke out, the matter turned from a war of words between the two into a debate about racial discrimination. Even if some media do not like Yunsheng, they cannot criticize Klopp or Yunsheng at this time.
Once the remarks are inappropriate, it is easy to be labeled as racist, and then you will be in trouble...
Behind this incident, Liu Surong played a role in fueling the flames.
As an expert in China's official media, Liu Surong is very familiar with the operation of this kind of thing.
Especially when it comes to things like diplomatic rhetoric, using big names, and speaking in official language, she has top-notch experience.
After the "Asian Newspaper" controlled by Yuntian Company took the lead to speak, several other well-connected media also followed suit. In addition, Yunsheng's friends in the coaching circle and the mouthpiece media who had coached the club all helped to speak out.
Next is the condemnation of Klopp and Dortmund across Europe.
In addition to making public statements as coach of Depor, Yunsheng, as the boss of Yuntian Company, directly stopped all Yuntian Company's business with the Dortmund Club, and temporarily stopped the sales of Yuntian's medical laboratory and health care products business in Germany.
As a result, it is no longer a conflict between Yunsheng and Klopp, but a competition between Yuntian Company represented by Yunsheng and the Dortmund Club!
Because of Klopp's remarks, Yunsheng completely distanced himself from Dortmund!
