60. Chapter 60

Frank Lampard's late goal saved Chelsea from danger and sent the heavenly Barca fans to hell.

According to the Champions League qualification rules, although Chelsea and Barcelona both have 10 points after this game, and the relationship between wins and losses is the same as the number of goals scored by each other, Chelsea has more away goals, so Chelsea advances.

It's just a millimeter difference, which is even more unacceptable to Barcelona fans.

Such a divine turn of events had the rest of the neutral fans screaming with excitement, and the picture of the fan crying to the laughter of the 10,000 people at the Camp Nou was moving.

Although Dortmund were one of the teams involved, they stayed out of the game and stopped thinking about it as soon as the game was over.

For Yan Jing, sending a substitute to draw with Chelsea is perfectly acceptable. It's not that he's trying to get Chelsea to win, it's that Frank Lampard's powerful long-range shot isn't something he can control.

Despite being only a substitute team, their performance was also very impressive, almost crushing Chelsea's main team, which also made no one dare to say that Yan Jing was releasing water in the post-match media comments.

Entering December, the weather in Germany is getting more and more freezing, but the freezing weather cannot freeze the increasingly agitated hearts of the Ruhr fans.

Today is the 9th of December, and the exciting Ruhr derby is just one day away!

In Otalia's small bungalow, the atmosphere temporarily fell to a freezing point because of the upcoming match.

August and Otria's yellow and black jerseys hang around the house all day long.

Ulf's heart hurts, but he doesn't surrender because of the numerical superiority of his wife and his grandson. He firmly put on a blue jersey in this space, which is mainly yellow and black, and also tried to secretly transform part of the space into miner's blue.

Ulf was carrying a paint bucket and was about to change the color scheme of the bedroom while Otlea was preparing dinner, but he was caught by Otalia, who suddenly came back to look for something.

Seeing the paint bucket in Ulf's hand, Otriea exclaimed, then quickly stopped him.

"Ulf, don't you want to paint the walls of our bedroom blue!"

Ulf turned his head to glare at Otria, dissatisfied, "Fanny, I thought too little about it when I moved here, and I forgot about it...... Now, no matter what, you're going to have to make this home a little bit of Schalke!"

Otria glared back without hesitation: "Ulf, the color of Schalke hasn't appeared in this house for decades!"

At this time, Yan Jing, who had finished training with the team, returned home, and he happened to hear the argument upstairs, so he went upstairs to see what was going on.

Yan Jing's arrival made Otalia's face happy, and she told Yan Jing about Ulf's plan to paint the wall without permission, and prepared to let Yan Jing, who was also a diehard Dot, "oppress" Ulf together.

Although Ulf knew that Yan Jing was a very good guy, during the special period, he still put on an ice cube face against Yan Jing.

However, Yan Jing did not directly stand on the same line with the old lady after listening to Otalia's words, he thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and proposed to the two old men.

"Otherwise, if Schalke wins tomorrow's game, then let Ulf paint half the wall. ”

Ulf snorted: "Yan, you are very confident, so what if you don't win?"

Yan Jing smiled slightly: "Then I have to ask you to marry Mrs. Otalia." ”

Hearing Yan Jing's words, the paint bucket in Ulf's hand almost didn't shake out.

Although Ulf and August have moved in with Otlea for a while, and their relationship has always been in the same bed, they have not officially registered their marriage.

During the time they lived together, Yan Jing could see that both of them actually meant this, but neither of them was willing to speak first.

This time, Yan Jing also took the opportunity to help the two old men solve the problem.

"Yan ...... W-Isn't that okay? Fanny definitely doesn't want to ......."

Ulf was still a little hesitant about Yan Jing's mentions, and he glanced at Oteria to observe the other party's expression.

However, Otria agreed unexpectedly: "It's good, so let's decide." ”

Ulf looked at Otalia in silence, and Otria gave her a "I'm serious" look back.

Soon, the bet between the two reached August's ears, and the little one was very excited to hear about it.

"Wow, Yan, you must lead Dortmund to win the game, or a wall in our house will turn blue!"

Auguste's outspoken reaction made Ulf almost jump up and hit him in anger - this unlucky boy, even if he supports Dortmund, can't he say "we are a family if we win the game"!

With this bet, the atmosphere in Otalia's house became more subtle, and Yan Jing was sure that he had seen some hints of shyness between the two old men.

The next day, there was another "pomp" of the second season near the Westphalian Stadium. ”

A large number of officers in police uniforms patrolled from the train station to the stadium, and in the face of clashes that would erupt at any unknown moment, the Dortmund police were like a big enemy and mobilized a large number of police forces to maintain order.

Schalke Club was born in 1904 and the name Schalke 04 was born.

Five years later, there was a new football club in the Ruhr area, which was called Borussia Dortmund.

The Ruhr region is Germany's largest producer of steel and coal, and the life of the workers living here was relatively monotonous. At this time, the rise of football brought them to a complete decline, and the fanaticism and devotion of fans in the Ruhr area to the team was unmatched in many parts of Germany.

The first Ruhr derby in history came in May 1925, with Schalke winning the first drop of blood 4-2.

In fact, in the first eighteen years, Dortmund never beat Schalke 04. It wasn't until November 1943 that Dortmund won their first victory over Schalke 04 with a narrow one-goal win at home.

The feud between the two teams has been going on for a long time, and the Ruhr derby has become one of the hottest derbies in the world.

It was then that the Ruhr derby between the two teams began to become one of the most fascinating topics of discussion in German football.

How deep is the hostility between Dortmund and Schalke 04 fans?

- We would rather Bayern Munich win the championship 100 times than Schalke 04 win the cup once!

After entering the modern era, the atmosphere of the Ruhr derby has not only not weakened in the slightest, but has become more and more hot, and clashes between fans and players are not uncommon.

Although these two German teams are not big clubs, their matches are no less popular than the famous Milan derby and the Spanish national derby.

This-for-tat tension is exactly what fans want to see, with 197 TV stations around the world choosing to broadcast the game live, which is even more popular than Bayern's game at the same time.

Borussia Dortmund's new signings this season also appreciated the importance of this game from the stern tone of the pre-match reprimand from the game.

"I have to tell you that playing for Borussia Dortmund there are only two games in a whole season that you have to win. ”

"The fans can tolerate a season of defeat to Bayern, a relegation team, or even a Champions League group stage...... However, the fans' tolerance for losing to Schalke 04 is zero!"

"The derby has a special meaning because it represents the history and tradition of a city, and our tradition in Dortmund is to defeat the Schalke idiots!"

"Do you want to be a hero to the fans?

The dressing room was fanning the players, but the Dortmund fans in the stadium were not stirring up any more, they couldn't wait to beat Schalke.

In fact, Schalke 04's record this season is not bad, they are currently tied with Bayern with 24 points, but they are ranked behind Bayern because of goal difference.

This season, the Bundesliga team has lost the power of Bayern, and despite the introduction of the best newcomer to the World Cup, Podolski has lost his spirit in Cologne after arriving at Bayern. In addition to the poor performance of the new signings, the aging form of the veterans has also affected Bayern's record in a large way.

If they don't work hard in the second half of the season, maybe they will lose their Champions League qualification next season.

Although Schalke 04's results are good, they are much inferior to Dortmund, who are both soaring in the league and the Champions League, which also makes Schalke 04 fans feel sour.

What, I almost went bankrupt three years ago, if it wasn't for that Chinese suddenly appeared in front of everyone to save the game, maybe Dortmund would have to play in the Bundesliga......

is obviously from China, which is a football desert in their opinion, but it turns out that he has such an excellent coaching level, and his eyes are even more accurate.

Look at Ribery, Villa, Silva...... If only they could all be ours!

In the South Stand, Gotze learns from August that Altria will marry Ulf if Dortmund win the match.

"What, August, is this true?"

August nodded proudly: "Of course, Yan testifies!"

Just after being sent home by Yan Jing that day, Gotze's increasingly complex psychological fluctuations made him can't help but call his buddy Royce to ask.

"Marko, if a person sees another person, their heart beats faster and they feel uncomfortable, do you know why?"

Although he didn't know why Götze suddenly called to ask such an insignificant question, Royce replied honestly.

"Two situations, one, you are afraid of her, and two, you like her. ”

I'm scared of the head? It's impossible. And what is left......

Gotze's eyes widened and he said, "But that man is much older than me, and it's—"

Without waiting for Gotze to finish, Royce got to the point.

"Wait, Mario, you're in love?"

It was Royce who interrupted Gotze, otherwise Gotze would have almost exposed the words "still a man".

Realizing this, Ge Ce hurriedly changed the subject: "It's nothing, my mother called me, I hung up first!"

After forcibly hanging up Royce's phone, Götze could no longer find an excuse to escape this time, and he realized that deep down he really had a special affection for the head who had been taking care of him.

But Gotze did not feel enlightened by this, on the contrary, he fell into endless distress.

Gotze didn't know exactly when he fell in love with Yan Jing, and he used to prefer to classify this love as dependence.

He also relied on his parents, but it was obvious that his feelings for Yan Jing were too different from his feelings for his parents.

Homosexuality is not taboo in Germany today, and Gotze is not bothered by the fact that he actually liked a man.

Because he knew that his head was special, even after realizing his feelings for Yan Jing, Gotze felt that he was not the kind of homosexual who only liked men, he just admired Yan Jing.

What bothered him was his identity with Yan Jing.

A year ago, when he was traveling with Yan Jing, he accidentally learned something that has always been deeply engraved in his mind.

Fasanu, a star of a thousand miles favored by everyone, but was discriminated against by everyone because of his homosexual status, and finally committed tragic suicide.

In particular, Brian Clough, the head coach who personally brought Fasanu to Nottingham Forest, took extremely bad measures to ridicule and abuse Fasanu because he was disgusted with his homosexual tendencies, and even directly banned him, which was also an important reason for Fasanu's suicide.

It was because of this that Götze learned that homosexuality is forever taboo in the world of football.

Although Gotze felt that Yan Jing was definitely not an extreme person like Clough, he didn't know Yan Jing's views on homosexuality, and he didn't dare to express such feelings at all.

The naïve Ge Ce didn't think too deeply, and his only thought now was that he must not let Yan Jing know about it.

It's bad if you find out...... How long can you hide it? Maybe after a while, this feeling will fade away?

Coming back from his thoughts, Götze turned to look at Aultea.

"Fanny, if we win this game, can I go to your wedding to Ulf?"
