This sent Klopp leaping to his feet in the technical area.
He completely lost his composure, especially when he saw Slomka, who had been sitting calmly on the visiting team's bench, rush out and roar in celebration of the goal.
"Tell me, you think he's never heard that saying back in Lower Saxony?" Klopp fumed as he stomped back to the front of the bench.
"What saying?"
"Those who sow the wind will reap the storm!"
Buvac and Krawietz exchanged a look and laughed in unison.
It was a German cautionary proverb, meaning that provoking small conflicts could invite much greater retaliation.
Slomka was from Hildesheim in Lower Saxony, which is a southern suburb of Hanover.
One would think he'd have heard that saying before.
"Substitution!" Klopp shouted, stomping his foot forcefully.
...
Three minutes later, Wang Shuo was standing on the sideline.
The fourth official had already raised the substitution board: number 9, Wang Shuo, on for number 16, Kuba.
