121 Chapter 121

With two days to go until the away game against Stuttgart, the "patron saint" in the Borussia Dortmund South Stand was gone.

The news immediately attracted the attention of many domestic media outlets.

Borussia Dortmund took the incident very seriously and immediately launched an investigation after discovering it.

After investigating multiple people, they found the source of the matter.

According to the Westphalen Stadium caregiver, a handful of people wearing Borussia Dortmund shirts came to him that afternoon, hoping to borrow banners on the grounds that they were "going to be used in the next leg away to Stuttgart".

And the management believed the men in Dort's jerseys and handed them the banner.

So are these fans Dort fans or not? The answer is obviously, no.

"Bild" analyzed that these fans who "borrowed" the Dortmund banner are likely to be Schalke's people. Bild also believes that it is very likely that Schalke fans are retaliating.

At the beginning of Schalke coach Slamka's tenure, a Dortmund fan once posed as a Schalke fan to give Slamka a Schalke scarf and took a photo with him.

Schalke coach Slamka in the photo is smiling, but he doesn't seem to notice that the scarf on his hand actually says "Shit Schalke".

Shortly after the incident, an anonymous post appeared on the forum of a Schalke fan.

The poster claimed that not only would they not return the banner, but that they intended to tear it down in the penultimate round against Borussia Dortmund – in front of tens of thousands of Dortmund fans at the Westphalen Stadium.

The people who replied to the following post were all applauding, admiring the courage and courage of the landlord, and advised the landlord to also pay attention to safety.

The post was apparently discovered by Dortmund shortly after, and Dortmund fans were extremely outraged by the actions of their arch-rival fans.

Soon, countless Dortmund fans rushed to this forum built by Schalke fans, came to this post, and used all kinds of ancestral swear words to swear.

Schalke's fans naturally couldn't tolerate their sworn enemies running into their own forums to go wild, so a keyboard tearing battle started vigorously, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while.

Soon, the forum administrators came out to work. But instead of blocking this scolding post, they only banned and β–‘β–‘ the IDs of Dortmund fans, which made Dortmund, who was concerned about this matter, even more angry.

A reporter interviewed Yan Jing on this matter the next day, and Yan Jing said decisively: "This is an intolerable bad behavior, which has nothing to do with the relationship between the two teams, I can't help but regard it as theft, and Dortmund will definitely seriously investigate this matter." ”

As Yan Jing said, Dortmund also immediately negotiated with Schalke.

Dortmund supporters' association spokesman SupriΔ‡ quickly issued an ultimatum to Schalke: "We have clear evidence from within Schalke fans, and there is no doubt that Schalke fans did it. Either the banner was returned to us by 12 o'clock on Friday night, or we filed a charge in court for theft. ”

However, Schalke FC does not seem to be planning to cooperate with Dortmund to recover the banner, and their fan association president Rojeke told reporters who came to ask reporters: "We are also looking for the truth internally, and if they can come up with conclusive evidence that it was done by Schalke fans, then we will help them find it." ”

This obviously perfunctory tone of cover made Dortmund fans even more angry, and it was clear that it was about to be the turn of the first and second decisive clash in the Bundesliga, but at this time no Dortmund fans were paying attention to this game that could be the championship decision of the season.

The tense attitude of the fans on both sides made the local police in Dortmund feel like a big enemy.

Soon it will be the Ruhr derby, and the relationship between Dortmund and Schalke 04 is so bad that it doesn't take to think that it will become a β–‘β–‘ between fans on both sides.

The more fortunate Bo.Cai company even made a bet on "whether there will be a group fight scene between the players of the two sides in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga Dortmund vs Schalke 04".

An hour before the start of the match against Stuttgart, Yan Jing received a call from Nick in the bus.

"Yan, you must give them a good look!"

"What?" Yan Jing was a little stunned by Nick's words that popped up without any buffer, "Did you say this game? Of course we will do our best to win ......"

"No, no, no, I said next week against Schalke!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Of course, but if we win today, we will be the league champions. ”

"I know, but more important than this is to humiliate those idiots next week!"

Yan Jing paused, as the head coach of the team, he actually just wanted to win the game against Stuttgart as soon as possible, and then concentrate on preparing for the Champions League.

But reality doesn't allow him to do that.

He knows very well that even if he wins the championship two rounds in advance, he must send all the main players on the court in the game against Schalke, otherwise he will definitely be counted by the Dortmund fans after the game - because this is what he and Nick have done before, no way, who made the Ruhr derby so special in the hearts of fans?

"Good, good, it's a must. ”

"Yan, secretly tell you that if Dort wins the next game, I will give Schalke's little poor guys a little 'surprise'. ’”

Listening to Nick's ill-intentioned words on the other end of the phone, Yan Jing couldn't help but remind: "Nick, you are half a public figure now......

"Don't worry, Yan, I have my own measure. ”

Ending the call with Nick, Yan Jing thought about it and dialed Gotze.

At the same time as the match between Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund begins, the second round of the group stage of the German U17 European Youth Championship in Belgium will also begin.

Germany's Under-17s opponents in the final round are France Under-17s, who lost to Spain in a game that will determine whether France can qualify from the group.

"Mario, are you confident?"

"Boss, of course, I feel like I'm in good shape!"

"Then I'll be relieved, let's win together. ”

"Well, I ......"

Before Gotze could finish speaking, Yan Jing heard the voices of other boys on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Mario, is this what you're thinking about!"

"Tony, can you stop eavesdropping on other people's phone calls!"

"Where did I eavesdrop, didn't you say 'the head' yourself......

Yan Jing smiled and asked, "Tony Mario, is the Tony Cross next to you that you mentioned before?"

"That's right, we're going to the stadium soon, Chief, I'll call you later after the game!"

The match between Dortmund and Stuttgart has attracted a lot of media attention at home and abroad, and even Dortmund fans have begun to prepare for the championship β–‘β–‘ in advance.

Unfortunately, Dortmund were unable to secure the final victory as they drew 1-1 away at Stuttgart.

Borussia Dortmund's players are not in bad form, but opponents Stuttgart have no European competitions to distract the team and focus on the league wholeheartedly.

Their players are clearly aware of how crucial this game is for them, and with all their strength combined with their pretty good form, Dortmund will not have an easy time playing.

Sneijder's long-range strike gave Dortmund the lead, but Stuttgart's German striker Gomes combined with his team-mates to break through Weidenfeller's goal in the second half to level the scores.

Although Borussia Dortmund failed to win the game, Germany's Under-17s continued to soar.

They won 2-0 against France Under-17s and Gotze also provided a brilliant assist in the game.

And not so long ago, the highly-anticipated Spain U17s also comfortably defeated the Ukrainian U17 team in the match.

Germany Under-17 and Spain Under-17 are on six points after two wins from two games after the second round, but are in first place due to Spain's better goal difference.

The final round of group matches will be played in two days' time, and the two teams will meet directly to decide who will finish as group winners.

At the same time, the theft of the Dortmund banner is far from over, but continues to ferment.

Schalke 04 has been dragging its feet, apparently refusing to confess the perpetrators and returning the banner to Dortmund.

No matter how the fans on both sides quarrel, Yan Jing's focus is still on the upcoming Ruhr derby.

Although many players have only recently joined Dortmund, they have also felt how much the Ruhr derby means to the city's fans, and the veterans of the squad have also learned about the feud between Dortmund and Schalke with the new players.

With a full week between the game against Stuttgart and the match against Schalke 04, Dortmund had plenty of time to prepare.

On May 7, the focus of the final round of the group stage of the European Youth Championship in Belgium, Spain U17 vs Germany U17 ignited the fire.

Yan Jing watched the game with Otalia and them on TV at home.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ After talking about Germany's Gemini, let's turn our attention to Spain. If there is one young player who has attracted the most attention in this European Youth Championship, it is undoubtedly Bojan Kolkic! As a striker from the Barcelona Academy, he seems to be more attractive to many giants than Toni Kroos and Mario Gotze. In the previous two games, he scored three goals and provided one assist, and was an absolute contributor to Spain. ”

Seeing this, August turned his head to look at Yan Jing: "Hey, Yan, is this guy named Boyan really that powerful?"

Yan Jing didn't give a direct answer: "You'll know right away, won't you?"

The game didn't go as smoothly as it used to be, with Spain's strong midfield control leaving Germany's youngsters a bit exhausted.

Although Kroos and Gotze ran desperately to find opportunities, it still couldn't overshadow the shine of opposition striker Bojan.

After the opening 30 minutes, Bojan made it all the way through the German Under-17 backline and pry open the door with a clever lob at the end.

It was Spain's U17s who dominated the game, and with their better overall strength, they put the pressure on Germany's U17s, who had been going all the way.

Thankfully, Kroos provided a superb assist just before the break, which was scored by their striker to equalise.

The two teams ended up in a draw, and according to the rules, the team with the most goal difference would finish first in the group.

With the advantage accumulated in the previous competition, Germany U17 finally finished first in the group and advanced to the semi-finals.

"Mario, are you still happy with your performance?"

Shortly after the game, Yan Jing took the initiative to call Gotze.

Rigetze's performance in this game was much worse than the previous two games, and under the pressure of the Spanish midfield, his performance could only be described as mediocre.

Goetze paused for a moment before he muffled, "No...... I could have behaved better. The Spanish striker named Bojan is very good, and I can't even keep up with his speed......"

has known Ge Ce for several years, and Yan Jing can already hear the other party's emotions from his voice unconsciously.

And now, he could clearly hear the frustration in the other person's tone.

Yan Jing sat on the bed, and he seriously thought about how to comfort the genius boy who didn't seem to have encountered setbacks along the way.

"Mario, listen to me, you did really well today. It's normal that you're a lot younger than all of them, and your body isn't fully developed. ”

GΓΆtze on the other end of the line still seemed to blame himself.

"But I think if I can ...... again"

Yan Jing interrupted the other party.

"Football is eleven sports, and even if you are as strong as Zinedine Zidane or Maradona, it won't help if you don't have good teammates. What's more, we ended up first in the group, didn't we?"

"Hmmm......"

Under the wall lamp, the leather wallet in Yan Jing's hand was spread out.

He stared at the battle he had fought with Gotze in a Chinese restaurant in London three years ago, his eyebrows and gently hooked lips fading away from the fierceness of the arena, leaving only endless softness.

"I'm sure you're not someone who will be defeated by such a small setback. Mario, get some sleep, tomorrow everything will be fine. 166 Reading Network
