Klopp sat dumbfounded at the post-match press conference.

  Just now, the assistant coaches have said they're willing to take his place in what is destined to be a purgatory press conference.

  But the proud Kloppke never runs away from the idea.

  A loss is a loss!

  Someone has to step up and take responsibility for Dortmund's record-breaking fiasco.

  And there's no excuse for him to run away from it as a head coach.

  The reporters had gone crazy long before he arrived.

  Losing first place in the league and also suffering the most lopsided defeat at Ruhr Derby since the team was founded.

  It was all like a nuclear bomb that set the German football world on fire.

  "Mr Klopp, will this fiasco affect your coaching?"

  "Mr Klopp, will Dortmund's Bundesliga title be lost because of this match?"

  .......

  Look at the countless hungry journalists.

  Klopp pulls the microphone to his mouth.

  "A loss is a loss!"

  "Dortmund's defeat was for no other reason than a complete failure of my layout!"

  "Of course, the amazing play of Su, the Chinese, was a big reason why the game was such a lopsided score."

  "But that's football!"

  "No one is certain to win!"

  "Dortmund's strength, from the start of the season to now, is there for all to see, along with the fact that we've only lost one game."

  "There are still a dozen rounds left in the league and the winner won't be revealed until the last minute!"

  With Dortmund's loss, FC Schalke 04 has overtaken Dortmund for first place in the table, while Bayern also won, and with two points less Bayern managed to squeeze Dortmund into third place along with the win.

  This game was too big a loss for Dortmund.

  The most troublesome thing is that in the next round of the league, Dortmund faces Leverkusen, who is still fourth in the league.

  Red cards for three starters complicate the next league game as well.

  All in all, smooth sailing Dortmund is kind of having the toughest time of the season.

  Having answered, Klopp waited patiently for the next question.

  "Mr Klopp, as we all know, China Su was originally from the Dortmund youth training camp, I do not know has been the most prestigious youth training base in the whole of Europe, China Su such a talented player, free of charge to the city rivals, how do you think about this matter?"

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  This is from the Gelsenkirchen sports newspaper.

  Of course, they sort of belong to the FC Schalke 04 side.

  When the question was asked.

  Klopp, who had been ready to deal with everything, could barely hold back for a moment.

  What is this?

  Whiplash?

  Or is it just wildly rubbing salt in my wounds?

  "En... En ...."

  Klopp took a deep breath and organised the words in his head.

  But, somewhat awkwardly, after a few hmmm's, Klopp wasn't sure how to answer the fucked up question!

  There was no option to answer.

  Klopp got up and left the press conference straight away.

  Reporters looked at the departing Klopp and frantically pressed the shutter.

  It was the first time they had seen the proud man so helpless.

  Reporters are even sympathising with Klopp a bit.

  In the end, it turns out Dortmund didn't lose to FC Schalke 04, but to himself!

  ........

  Unlike Klopp's side.

  Magath on the other side sitting at the launch party was grinning from ear to ear at this point.

  "Haha! Anything is possible in football!"

  "It's only first place in the league! The season is still long, we at FC Schalke 04 are not like other teams, they just have to look at the league, but we still have to prepare for the UCL!"

  "The last eight draw after that is what Schalke should be most concerned about!"

  "After all, FC Schalke 04 is now the only German team in the UCL!"

  "We're kind of the only ones in Bundesliga!"

  "We represent German football!"

  "So, the league we merely prepared as usual!"

  "Dortmund are strong and this was a fluke win for us!"

  "Of course, the main thing is that Su's performance was unbelievable!"

  "Five goals in eight minutes, that's the most incredible miracle I've seen since I got into football!"

  The reporters watched with bated breath as Magath gleefully summarised the match there.

  Seeing his cheap but still good face, the reporters couldn't help but feel a good dose of contempt in their hearts.

  But it has to be said that Magath now has the nerve to be so dejected.

  Stomped Bayern and Dortmund for less than half the price of other teams' lineups, and made it to the UCL Elite Eight.

  This has been remarkable!

  That's all the footage of Magath from this press conference so far.

  The rest, all belong to Su.

  The eight-minute, five-goal Su was already surrounded by journalists from the moment he entered the conference venue.

  Long shots of microphones were all shoved in front of him.

  The questions from the reporters were even better.

  Some have even started comparing Su to Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká!

  These are superstars.

  One game's performance has raised him to such heights straight out of the mouths of journalists.

  It made Su a little embarrassed too.

  "I'm still a very mediocre young man, and I fall short of them in many ways!"

  "I have a lot to learn!"

  "Raul takes good care of me in the team, he often instructs me on how to run, and it's thanks to Mr Raul that I was able to be so lucky in this game!"

  "The person I want to thank the most right now is Raul!"

  Su zoomed in as a last resort.

  Su is doing this with a light touch.

  Sure enough Raul was mentioned and the reporters started targeting Magath again!

  Raul's injury has not been officially announced as a return date as of yet!

  Whether or not they'll be able to catch up with UCL behind the scenes, everyone doesn't know.

  Although Raul is getting older and there is little chance that he will be able to get back into the game, journalists wanted to make sure that Magath was sure that Raul would announce his retirement straight away!

  This would be super news if Raul retired.

  Magath had been happily watching Su being wheeled by the reporters, but he didn't realise that Su, the kid, was so treacherous that he kicked the ball to him again in one go!

  Su smirked and gloated as she watched Magath, who was re-encircled by the reporters.

  Only, laughing, what he wanted to know the most right now was what kind of stuff his SYSTEM quest would actually reward him with!

  Just after the game, SYSTEM went off.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "SYSTEM follow-up mission Force to Save 2: Later Completed!"

  "Mission Difficulty: SSS! Completion Level SSS!"

  "Quest Reward: Gold Skill Issued!!!"

  Su can't wait to get back home and work on that golden skill!

  That's an exaggerated gold skill.

  And you have a skill upgrade card yourself.

  Once you upgrade the gold skills, I wonder what the effect will be?
