On the highway returning from Berlin to Dortmund, the driver sat up front while Klopp, in the back, watched Wang Shuo with a very curious and somewhat baffled look.
"If you have a question, just ask it. Don't stare at me like that." Wang Shuo was getting a little creeped out.
I mean, being stared at by a burly, bearded man in a speeding car... it was genuinely unsettling.
With permission granted, Klopp immediately laughed. "What on earth was going through your head?"
"What do you mean?"
"That training system. They spent two or three years painstakingly developing it, but the price is too high and they can't bring the cost down. To this day, not even Bayern has been willing to buy one. They've been struggling to find a market, and we at Dortmund are the first to take the plunge."
"And on top of that, they gave us a twenty percent discount."
The reason Dortmund bought this training system in the first place was, in the end, because of the German Football Association.
