Chapter 235: The Past

"After all this talking, do you want to tell us that Schalke and Dortmund are exactly the same, which is why they fight each other so hard?" asked Iran tentatively, a little confused by Deep's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dipper smiled, "Of course it's not that simple! Dortmund has a lot of people, although the large beer brewing industry, the coal mining industry, and the steel manufacturing industry have allowed them to develop rapidly, and even if they were the economic and trade center of West** for some years, Dortmund is not treated well by the traditional residents of Gelsenkirchen in the center of the Ruhr area. In the culture of our older generation, coal is the symbol of our Ruhr region, and winemaking is a means of enriching the nouveau riche, just like the impurities in hard coal. At this he could not help but wave his arm, as if he were a speaker, and then his voice became more and more passionate: "We Ruhr mining workers look down on the bankers from Munich, and the trading merchants of Dortmund, who in the age of big industry were bloodsuckers, who not only squeezed the value of every piece of hard coal, but also stripped us of a skin." Although in modern times, that is, after the war, the rapid development of industrial superiority and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the precipitation of cultural concepts caused by this class difference has been preserved. At the end of the clan society, the Germanic law, which was gradually unified based on the Frankish kingdom, first emphasized the subordination of the individual to the collective, and was later called the group standard by jurists, which is one of the typical characteristics of our Germanic people. So the working class in the traditional Ruhr area, although not highly educated during the period of big industry, has very typical Germanic characteristics, and we emphasize collectivism, efficiency and self-sufficiency, which are nothing compared to us. My uncle and a Borussia Dortmund business partner can work together in their careers, but at the end of the week, my uncle will definitely wear the Schalke 04 shirt and his business partner will wear the Dortmund shirt, and in those 48 hours the two of them can even fight each other because of who they support, and that's the real difference between us. ”

"Damn, my head is so loud that you can still talk about it, it's really amazing. What the hell are you studying?"

"I studied economic history and my school was in Dortmund, but I never watched them play when I was a student, and I will always remember that I had coal miner's blood in my veins. ”

"Why are you closing?" Ai Huan was a little dizzy, so he changed the subject.

"It's not because your club has issued a ban on entertainment, if I bring you here openly, you will get into trouble, but now that I'm closed, who can say anything?"

"By the way, how many exciting games do we have with Dortmund?" Unexpectedly, Ai Huan's digression was useless, and Annan still asked such a question.

The first meeting was on May 3, 1925, when Dortmund and Schalke met for the first time in history, in Herne. It was a battle between the two teams to reach the regional league finals. Schalke won 4-2 with legendary goalscorer Ernst Kuzzola scoring twice. On 12 March 1939, Schalke travelled to Borussia Dortmund and the two teams played a great game for the fans, scoring a total of 10 goals as we won 7-3 on the road. On 18 May 1947, the regional league finals were still being played in Hearn, the first final of the Ruhr derby. In the end, Dortmund defeated us 3-2 to win the provincial championship of West**, damn, dog offal! We were unbeaten for 18 years, and we played them like adults bullying children for 18 years, until November 14, 1943, when the two teams met for the first time in history, Hearn, played another game, and finally Dortmund defeated us 1-0 to win the first Ruhr derby, ending the embarrassing history of 18 years without a win. There was also October 20, 1940, although Germany was fighting World War II, but it did not affect the normal development of football in the slightest. Schalke swept Borussia Dortmund 10-0 at home, but only 3,000 fans witnessed the great event at the time, and Ernst Kuzzola was once again the derby hero with four goals on his own, haha, what a superhero. However, on February 26, 1966, in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, the yellow and black mongrels beat Schalke 7-0 at home, in which striker Herder and midfielder Schmidt each scored twice, but Schalke was at its worst at that time. Then there was the Ruhr derby on September 26, 1969, which was arguably the most tragic in history. When the game started, Pirkone gave us the lead and our fans were so excited that they rushed into the pitch. At that time, the police could only maintain order with police dogs, and unexpectedly, one of the police dogs actually bit our midfielder Nesser on the calf, and the other bit Rausch's buttocks, leaving him with a scar, and the final score ended in a 1-1 scoreline. ”

"Oh my god, you can remember so clearly, it's a Schalke encyclopedia. Pukki couldn't help but sigh.

Dinner is really just a very ordinary party, except for Uncle Dipu Hao Ai Huan and others, there are only three other people, but these three people Ai Huan knows each other, they are all the bosses of the famous local fan organization in Schalke, although everyone can't talk about how familiar they are, but after all, they have all met, so there is no sense of unfamiliarity.

The food is also very simple, it is said that the wives or mothers of these four people are good at home cooking, and there is even a table, which is not at all like the style of ordinary Western food, but it is very similar to the way Chinese food is placed. There was wine and drinks on the table, and even mineral water was specially prepared for Ai Huan, and these people were still very clear about Ai Huan's living habits.

Everyone first talked about some scenes, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Ai Huan asked them, "You big guys are all here, definitely not just to catch me up, just say what you want to do." ”

"Quite simply, we just want to go to Dortmund to cheer. ”

"Huh?" Ai Huan was stunned for a moment, "Then let's go, do you want me to sponsor it? No problem! I've covered all the room and board." ”

Dipper laughed, he was very satisfied with Ai Huan's attitude, "I don't want you to spend money, we don't care about the money for watching the game, but those idiots at Dortmund have done a very disgusting thing, so we want you to do something else." ”
