Jurgen Klopp shocked the football world in late January when he announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, set to embark on a new chapter in his career and life.
克洛普在一月下旬宣告即將在賽季末離開利物浦，準備在他的人生與職涯寫下新篇震驚了整個足球世界。
Having led Liverpool for the last nine years, Klopp felt like a staple at the club and it was difficult to imagine him ever at another position in his career, and retirement felt early at 56 years old. But now, with his future suddenly anyone's guess, the Reds are forced to look for a new manager.
這九年領軍利物浦，克洛普感到自己猶如俱樂部的主心骨，並且很難想像他的職涯還會在另一個位置，而且56歲退休讓人感到太早。但事到如今，隨著他的未來動向被大家猜測，也迫使紅軍要找一個新的總教練。
Reports have linked the club with Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, a former Liverpool midfielder who spent five seasons at Anfield, winning the Champions League and FA Cup during his time there. The 42-year-old is inexperienced at the top level but has seen instant success leading the German club, could be a leading candidate for the position.
新聞將俱樂部與在利物浦效力五季，在此贏得歐冠、FA Cup的前中場，勒沃庫森總教練札比阿隆索連在了一起。這位42歲的少帥在執教頂級聯賽尚缺乏經驗，但在德國俱樂部看到了立竿見影的成功領先，成為了這個位置的領銜競爭者。
Given his exceptional career as a player and the trophies he won with Liverpool, as well as later in his career with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and the Spanish national team, he would certainly seem to be a popular candidate among fans. But is he ready?
從他在利物浦球員時期被期待的職涯與獲得的錦標，與隨之而後在皇馬、拜仁、西班牙國家隊的生涯，他顯而易見的是球迷們心中的熱門候選人，但是他準備好了嗎？
The Sporting News brings you all you need to know about how the former midfielder manages and how he's performed in charge of the Bundesliga side.

Xabi Alonso coaching style, tactics, preferred formation at Bayer Leverkusen
扎比阿隆索在勒沃庫森的執教風格、戰略、與中意的陣型
In his short time at Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has largely utilised a 3-4-2-1 formation, which is overloaded to one side. In possession, this results in one wing-back dropping into the back line, while the wing-back on the opposite side pushes extremely high almost as a striker, leaving that side's centre-back to play a full-back role.
在勒沃庫森，阿隆索短時間內大量使用了偏重一側的3-4-2-1陣型，控球上，這使得一邊的翼衛會落位到後防線，當另一邊的翼衛往前推到幾乎等同前場的位置，讓該側的中後衛擔當邊後衛的角色。
Twenty-two-year-old Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong has thrived in the elevated role, becoming a true attacking force to help the team transition forward.
22歲的荷蘭右後衛Jeremie Frimpong在這個提升的角色上發展蓬勃，成為了幫助球隊前壓的真正戰力。
Alonso has organised his build-up to invite pressure to spring their attack, thereby opening up the opponent for space to play through. This is also a tactical component of rising managerial star Roberto De Zerbi at Brighton and Hove Albion — another man linked with the Liverpool job.
阿隆索以組織進攻建隊，施加壓力繃緊進攻，進而為對手打開了進攻空間。這同樣也是布萊頓的教練界耀升新星Roberto De Zerbi —另一個與利物浦這個職位有連結的人選—的戰術元素。
Once Bayer Leverkusen get forward, they look to exploit the space they've coaxed the opponent into conceding and use the pace of Frimpong and others to speed past the pressuring defenders and accelerate into space. Moussa Diaby was key to this approach last season, before he was sold to Aston Villa for €55 million ($58.4 million).
一旦勒沃庫森前壓，他們尋求利用他們誘騙對手讓出持球的空間，並利用Frimpong與其他球員的速度快速突破防守者的壓迫，並加速進入該空間，Moussa Diaby是上一季執行這套方案的關鍵，在他以5500萬歐元(5840萬美金)被賣到阿斯頓維拉之前。
Florian Wirtz is also a key part of this tactical approach, recovering from an ACL injury last year to boost the attack. Despite not having extreme top speed, he sprints very often and has a near-endless energy reserve, in the 82nd percentile for accelerations amongst Bundesliga wingers, according to ElevenStats.com.
在去年ACL的傷病康復後的Florian Wirtz，也是這套戰術方案增加攻擊力的關鍵部件。儘管沒有極端高速，他的頻繁衝刺與近乎無盡精力的後援，根據ElevenStats.com，他的加速速度勝過82%德甲翼鋒的人選。
A Leverkusen winger will drop to receive the ball, pulling his defender into a stretched position along with it. He will then lay off to a paired midfielder and immediately accelerate into the space created by his trailing defender, receiving the ball one a one-two and bypassing his defender, creating a transitional play in the process as the defensive team attempts to patch the leak.
勒沃庫森翼鋒會回撤去拿球，將他的防守者一起拉扯到一個可伸展的位置，並且他會回做球給一對中場球員並立刻加速衝到被尾隨他的防守者創造的空間，拿到球後對防守者做一個二對一突破，當防守隊伍嘗試補洞的時候，在這個過程中創造了一次轉換。
Below, you can see the average position of the Bayern Leverkusen starters in the 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich early in the 2023/24 season. You'll notice the very high and wide position of wing-back Frimpong (No. 30), while his counterpart on the opposite flank, Alex Grimaldo (No. 20) is slightly further back and pinched, often invited to cut inside and shoot from outside the top of the penalty area. Consequently, the back three are also overloaded to the right to account for the space behind Frimpong bombing forward.
你可以從先前23/24德甲賽季初勒沃庫森對戰拜仁慕尼黑2-2平手的先發平均站位觀察到這個。你會注意到翼衛30號Frimpong在高位且覆蓋範圍很寬，而在他對稱側的翼衛20號Alex Grimaldo則些微靠後且被擠壓，時常被「邀入」禁區弧頂內切射門。最後，後防線三人也會讓右側超載，以佔據Frimpong前線轟炸後面的空間。
This overload to the right causes an unbalanced formation and confuses an opponent who must themselves adjust to the uncommon distribution. Below are Bayern Munich's average positions from that same match, which shows how they were forced to keep Alphonso Davies (No. 19), a very attack-minded left-back, in a muted defensive position to cover for this, while their midfield was slightly shaded to the left as well.
右側的超載造成了陣型的不平衡並讓要自己適應這個少見佈局的對手困惑。下列是拜仁慕尼黑在同一場比賽的平均站位，顯示了他們(勒沃庫森)讓極具攻擊性的19號左後衛阿方索戴維斯，迫使他在防守位因此近乎靜音的表現，同時他們(拜仁慕尼黑)也稍微在左側表現同樣黯淡。
In his 3-4-2-1, Alonso utilises a counter-press to put opponents under threat on the ball and generate turnovers high up the pitch. With this, Alonso's Leverkusen side thrives in transitional phases, using space created by opponents either pressing or possessing to attack at pace. The press isn't overtly aggressive or high in its positioning, but instead uses a 3-2 box in midfield to force opponents to pass the ball wide, and then springs a trap on unsuspecting full-backs.
在他3-4-2-1的陣型，阿隆索採用就地反搶戰術讓對手持球暴露在威脅中，並在高位產生失誤。藉此，阿隆索的勒沃庫森這一側則在轉移過程蓬勃發展，利用對手逼搶或控球時創造的空間進行速攻。這樣的壓迫侵略性並不昭然，也沒有過高的站位，但取而代之的是利用中場3-2包圍的空間去迫使對手把球傳到邊路，再對毫無戒心的邊後衛設下陷阱。
While building from the back, Alonso will instruct a central defender to step forward into midfield, drawing opponents centrally and affording the wing-backs space out wide. Once they break the initial line of defence, Leverkusen look to play their two No. 10s who can then either drive towards goal themselves or find the wing-backs in advanced positions.
當在後場組織時，阿隆索會指示一位中衛前推至中場，將對手拉到中央並讓拉出給翼衛寬廣的空間。一旦打破了第一層防線，勒沃庫森會讓兩個可以自行帶球進球或找邊前衛給球換取更進一步站位的10號球員執行戰術。
Bayer Leverkusen are amongst the top teams in Europe in passing, but also remain high amongst defensive actions per opposition pass, indicating they still play a high intensity counter-press when the opponent has the ball. They rank last in crosses attempted, indicating they prefer to use their width to work the ball back centrally instead of whipping crosses into the box.
勒沃庫森的傳球次數不只在歐洲頂尖隊伍之間強冠群倫，也同樣在對手傳球時保持了較高的防守次數，表明他們在對手持球時，仍然高強度就地反搶。他們傳中的嘗試中敬陪末座，表示他們比起遠傳至禁區內，更傾向運用陣形的寬度將球回傳到中間。
Xabi Alonso coaching career, resume, teams managed
札比阿隆索的執教生涯、履歷、與團隊管理
Alonso has not been in management for long, starting his journey in the dugout in 2018 as a youth coach for Real Madrid, having retired from playing the previous year.
阿隆索作為經理人的時間並不長，他的執教旅途從2018年出任皇馬青年隊開始，並於一年前選擇離開掛冠。
After a season in Madrid, he moved on to manage Real Sociedad B, where he began as a player during his football career. He spent three seasons crafting his management style there before looking for a senior professional job.
在馬德里待了一個賽季後，他轉而前往管理他開啟足球員生涯的起點——皇家社會B隊。尋求一份職業成年隊的工作之前，他在那裡花了三個賽季雕琢他的管理風格。
German club Bayer Leverkusen needed a new manager after a dreadful start to the 2022 season, and Alonso stepped in to help Die Werkself turn things around. He got off to a good start with a 4-0 win over Schalke, and he went on to lead Leverkusen to a sixth-place finish in the Bundesliga in 2022/23, qualifying for the Europa League in the process.
德國俱樂部拜耳勒沃庫森在2022的糟糕開局後需要一位新的教練，阿隆索踏入其中協助Die Werkself(公司十一人)改變一切。他以一個對沙爾克4-0大勝獲得一個好的開局，並且帶領勒沃庫森在2022/23德甲賽季抵達第六名，過程中獲得了歐霸參賽資格。
Last season, Leverkusen reached the Europa League semifinals, losing narrowly over two legs to Roma, managed by Jose Mourinho, Alonso's former Real Madrid coach.
上一季，勒沃庫森抵達了歐霸聯賽的四強，兩腿比賽以望其項背輸給了穆里尼奧——阿隆索在皇馬的前教練——所執教的羅馬。
There was reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur in summer 2023 before Alonso signed a new contract with Leverkusen that runs until 2026. After five league games of the new season, they are level with Bayern Munich on 13 points at the top of the table, having drawn 2-2 with the reigning champions in September.
有報導指出熱刺在阿隆索還沒跟勒沃庫森簽下新合約到2026年之前的2023夏天表示了興趣。在新賽季的五場比賽之後，他們跟拜仁慕尼黑一樣13分在排行榜榜首，包含一場九月與衛冕冠軍2-2的平手。
Will Xabi Alonso be next Liverpool manager?
札比阿隆索會成為下個利物浦教練嗎？
It certainly seems like a distinct possibility that Xabi Alonso could be the next Liverpool manager, given the other available options, and the easy match in both tactical style and personal history.
目前顯而易見的札比阿隆索能成為下一個利物浦總教練有著清楚的可能性，給予其他可行選項，並且戰略風格與個人經歷都能輕易吻合。
On September 25, it was reported by Radio Marca in Spain that Alonso had been chosen as top target to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid next season, with Ancelotti at the time thought to be departing for the Brazil national team at the end of the year. Given his connection to the club as a former player and youth team manager, and his commitment to a positive style of football, it is an appointment that would likely generate some excitement, even if the 41-year-old remains largely inexperienced as an elite-level manager.
9月25日，根據西班牙馬卡電台報導，阿隆索成為皇馬在卡洛˙安切洛蒂後下一季教練的首選目標，在當時安切洛蒂被認為將在年底為了執教巴西國家足球隊離任。作爲前球員、青年隊教練，他與俱樂部都有所連結，以及他對足球積極風格的承諾，這是個可能會引起一些興奮感的改變，就算這位41歲的教練在精英階層還是很沒有經驗。
However, Ancelotti surprised by signing a new contract at Real Madrid in late December of 2023, ending speculation of his departure for Brazil, and thus ending talk of Alonso moving back to Spain for next season.
然而安切洛蒂在2023年12月下旬讓人驚訝地簽下了新合約，中止了他前往巴西的揣測，也因此終結了下一季阿隆索回到西班牙的討論。
Alonso was previously linked with the Tottenham job before Ange Postecoglou was hired, but he said his focus was on Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season. "Rumours are normal but we still have a lot to achieve," Alonso said of the Spurs talk. "That's why my head is 100% here for the last few months. And my head is also 100% here for next season."
阿隆索在Ange Postecoglou被雇用之前跟托特納姆熱刺的工作先前有被連結，但他表示將會專注在勒沃庫森至少再一個賽季。「有謠言很正常，但我們還有很多要達到的目標，」阿隆索關於熱刺這麼發表意見：「那也是為什麼我的腦子前幾個月100%都用在這裡。並且下一季我的腦子也會100%用在這裡。」
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is another to be linked with the Liverpool job, having also been in contention for the Real Madrid position as well. Cadena SER in Spain reported that the Italian was under consideration, even if Alonso would was thought to represent a more obvious choice given his links to the club.
另一個與利物浦工作有所連結的是布萊頓總教頭Roberto De Zerbi，也同樣在皇馬該位置的討論中。西班牙賽爾電台報導，這位義大利人正在考慮中。就算阿隆索受到與俱樂部的連結，是被認為是更優先的選擇。
