  初到英伦,媒体和球迷对克林斯曼的印象不是很好,后来呢?

However, it was Klinsmann's good-natured sense of humour which won him the affection of football fans all around the country. When he scored his first ever goal in English football, he decided to celebrate his goal with a mock imitation of one of his famous "dives", with ecstatic team-mates joining in as they slid along the pitch as if felled by ten defenders!

Klinsmann's lifestyle off the pitch also endeared him to the English public. His modesty and total lack of self-importance is best illustrated by one particular anecdote. In an era when most football players tended to arrive at the training ground in the latest flashy sports car, on Klinsmann's first day of training, his team-mates were astonished to see him trundle into the car park driving a battered old VW Beetle!
