59. Chapter 59

Since the end of the fifth matchday of the Champions League group stage, the Catalan media have been in a state of panic all day long.

With just over a week to go until the final matchday, they began to put pressure everywhere in the hope that Yan Jing would not let go of the water and continue to work hard to beat Chelsea.

Borussia Dortmund are not the only Champions League to play, they also have league games against Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg before facing Chelsea.

Yan Jing didn't have time to pay attention to the pressure from the Catalan media, but England chose to accept the challenge and got on the bar with the Catalan media.

World Sport November 24:

- Despite Borussia Dortmund's progress from the group and despite Yan Jing's personal relationship with Jose Mourinho, we don't think the Germans will let go of their squad in the final game. We believe that their work ethic is not problematic, and besides, winning a game would bring a million euros to the team, which is not to mention the benefits of Borussia Dortmund, who are financially strained......

After the article in Le Monde Sport was translated by the English media, Chelsea fans called the Barcelona people cunning.

On the surface, it is open-minded to express trust in Yan Jing, but in fact it is to say that if you release water, you have no professional ethics. If you don't want to be stigmatized for not having a work ethic, then don't let the water go!

Soon, the Daily Telegraph, a local newspaper in London, published an article to fight back:

-- It has nothing to do with whether or not to release the water, and after the last round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund's lead has become less and less obvious. Their fixtures are not easy, with two league games to play in the 10 days leading up to the Chelsea game, and a single slack could lead to a total collapse. After the first qualification for the Champions League group stage has been confirmed, it is normal for Yan Jing to send all substitutes on the last Champions League match day. Who is more important than a million euros compared to the league title......?

The Catalan media, who have been paying attention to the English side all the time, immediately translated the article, and Barcelona fans saw this highly targeted article and called the English media a model of "stinky and shameless".

Your sister, what's normal to be substituted, isn't this just suing Yan Jing that no one will scold you for not having professional ethics because you are on the bench!

The Telegraph's article sparked discontent among Barcelona fans, and the Daily Sport, which is usually neutral in Catalonia, began to satirize the English media.

-- Some of the English media have come out in the hope of being released, but the food is so ugly that I don't know where they got the courage to publish these words in the newspapers.

Although there was always infighting among the newspapers in the country, the media in England were quite united in the face of foreign enemies.

Soon, several English media outlets, including the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and the Metro, joined the war of words, and even went to Mourinho to ask what he thought.

Mourinho said perfunctorily: "Borussia Dortmund are now confirmed to be top of the group, so they may play a little more relaxed in the game. I don't think they'll give up the three points so lightly, though, and I don't think it will be a surprise to see what the outcome of this game is. ”

The Premier League has a more intensive schedule than the Bundesliga, and like Yan Jing, Mourinho has no interest and energy to participate in the chaos of these media.

On 25 November 2006, Borussia Dortmund won 3-1 away at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Seven days later, they returned to home to a narrow 1-0 win over Wolfsburg thanks to Franck Franck Ribery's long-range strike.

They will host the Blues at home to Chelsea in four days' time, and Yan Jing had intended to field most of his squad, but his mind changed after the players were examined by the team doctor.

Although the results of the examination showed that basically all the players had no major physical problems, they still showed some signs of fatigue.

The two league games leading up to the Champions League are important, so he can't be on the bench and just four days after the final matchday of the Champions League they host arch-rivals Schalke 04.

Compared with the Champions League, which has successfully qualified for the first place in the group, I believe that both Dort's fans and management attach more importance to the game against the sworn enemy.

There are still three rounds left in the season to pass the halfway point, and the ups and downs of Dort's players a while ago cannot be said to have nothing to do with fatigue.

In addition, there are not many opportunities for substitutes to play in the Champions League, and Yan Jing also wants them to feel the atmosphere of the Champions League more, and at the same time, it can be regarded as looking for form.

After discussing with the team doctor, Yan Jing is ready to make a big rotation in the final Champions League game.

He had no intention of hiding it, and when asked about it by an English journalist at his pre-match press conference with Chelsea, he was honest about it.

"Yes, I'll have a certain rotation tomorrow. It's not disrespectful to Chelsea and there's no doubt we're going to do everything we can to win. ”

As soon as Yan Jing's words came out, Barcelona's fans and media exploded.

Respect? I'll fuck you respect! If you do, you're going to send all the main members!

As soon as the press conference ended, "World Sports News" immediately jumped out and accused Yan Jing fiercely.

- Borussia Dortmund should have set an example of work ethic in a game like this, but their head coach Yan Jing clearly did not intend to do so. In such a crucial game that decided the fate of qualifying, he actually planned to send a substitute to play. We didn't see the so-called work ethic at all, and we were very disappointed with Yan Jing's choice.

In the past, when Catalonia quarreled with the English media, the German media didn't care, but now this inexplicable dirty water is pouring on their heads, and they are not happy.

That evening, the Yan Jing column in the Dortmund Evening News, which had not appeared for a long time, reappeared.

――I'm only responsible for one team, thank you.

A short sentence was published on the front page of the newspaper, and all fans who knew about it could understand the meaning of Yan Jing at a glance.

What does it matter to us Dortmund whether Barcelona can qualify? You yourself didn't play well in the first few rounds, and now you can't qualify, and you have to blame others for the rotation?

You don't pay and your attitude is still so bad, and we are not your parents, so we have to worry about your future.

It's natural for Dortmund to think about themselves, if you don't qualify, you should reflect on yourself, we don't carry this pot!

Yan Jing's concise sentence suddenly became popular, and jokers on the European continent began to use this sentence to start making jokes, and the format of "I will only be responsible for XX" suddenly became a buzzword.

Arsene Wenger: I'm only responsible for the mortgage, thank you.

- Jose Mourinho: I will only be responsible for satirizing Arsene Wenger, thank you.

- Franck Ribery: I'll only be responsible for the goal, thank you.

- Totti: I'm only responsible for being the captain, thank you.

――……

In the face of Yan Jing's response, the Catalan media was speechless for a while, and could not find the words to mock back.

The Catalan media's deflated mood made the English media, who had been competing with them for a while, laugh out of their bellies, and they brought Yan Jing's words in a more eye-catching way.

- Yan Jing: I'm really not the head coach of Barcelona!

Although it is impossible to refute Yan Jing, for the English media, the Barcelona media still mercilessly ridiculed their villainous ambition, and the English media said, "I don't know if you can laugh out loud after the game." ”

It was in this atmosphere that Borussia Dortmund played Chelsea.

Yan Jing's starting list was announced not earlier than Chelsea's, and Chelsea fans were overjoyed when they saw the list, while Barcelona fans could only keep cursing Yan Jing.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, CoentrΓ£o and Thiago Silva at the back, Metzelder and Lichtsteiner who returned from injury, and in midfield, the central midfield combination was changed to Toure and Kyle, Ricken came on instead of Sneijder, Di Maria also replaced Ribery for his first Champions League start, and only David Silva still started in the attacking midfield.

As for the striker, it is no longer the Spaniard Villa, but the Uruguayan teenager Suarez.

Borussia Dortmund rotated six players in one go, and most of the young players on the pitch were little-known youngsters.

Chelsea fans thought it was going to be a good game, but they were still in a tough fight.

Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou were more interested in the other match than the home team's match against Olympiacos.

When they saw Borussia Dortmund's start, their hearts were half cold.

In the 37th minute, the news of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba's goal sent them into the ice cellar, and even if the hosts Barcelona were already 2-0 up in the first half of the game, it could not warm their hearts.

At half-time, the Barcelona fans were silent.

Well, I didn't expect us to be playing in the UEFA Cup this season......

At the beginning of the second half, when the Barcelona fans were so weak that they could not even celebrate the third goal, a roar of great joy suddenly came from the stands, which caused a huge wave in the stadium of 80,000 people.

"Damn, David Silva has scored!"

"What?!really?!"

Barcelona fans were shocked, and the hopes in their hearts that had been completely erased began to reviral.

Maybe, maybe......

Ten minutes later, the agitation reached its peak as Borussia Dortmund overtook the scoreline.

"Di Maria!!! Di Maria!!! Ahhh!!!hhh

The explosive news ignited the Camp Nou, and for a while the screams and cheers were endless, and Di Maria's goal Barcelona fans were even more excited than Dort fans.

"Oh my God, I'm going to beat you up if it's fake?!!!"

"Fuck really! Really, damn DiMaria, I love him to death!!"

"Really, really! my friends at the scene in Dortmund told me!"

The news of Dortmund's overtaking score suddenly made the Camp Nou Stadium, which was as silent as a backwater, close to a storm, and Barcelona fans sought to verify the truth of the news everywhere, and they had no intention of paying attention to the situation on the field.

The pitch was uneventful, and the sudden agitation in the stands made the Barcelona players curious, and their manager Rijkaard was quick to inform the players of Dortmund's overtake.

The clock ticked by and the game was already in stoppage time, with no new news coming from Borussia Dortmund's side.

The Barcelona game was not interrupted in the middle of the game, and it ended after two minutes of stoppage time in the second half, and the game on the Dortmund side was about to end.

Fans in the stands at the Camp Nou were already celebrating the desperate qualification when the Barcelona fan, who had friends at the Westphalia, rang his cell phone again.

He picked up the phone excitedly with a flushed face, and was about to confide in the other party how happy he was, but a sentence on the other side made him stunned for an instant.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, and repeatedly asked if the other party was joking.

The moment he got the answer of "not a joke", the ups and downs of great sorrow and joy made his whole body tremble.

He muttered to his friend in despair.

"Last-minute stoppage time...... Frank Lampard ...... Scored a ......"

"Long live Barcelona!

In the huge stadium, where no other fans knew the news, he crouched down and couldn't help but cry.
