113 Chapter 113

Yan Jing's trip to New York this time, he spent much more time on the plane than in New York City.

It was during this time that the draw for the group stage of the 2007 UEFA Under-17 Championship was completed.

In the group stage, a total of eight teams are divided into two groups, and the top two teams in the group stage will enter the semi-finals, and the first group will face the second place in the other group.

Götze's Germany side have been drawn in Group A, a group of death, with Spain, France and Ukraine in the same group.

In Group B, where the host country is located, the other three teams are England, the Netherlands and Iceland.

Germany's first group stage match will be played on 2 May, the day before the second leg between Borussia Dort and Manchester United, against Ukraine.

Ukraine is the only "weak team" in Group A, and if they can't get all three points against Ukraine, then the rest of the game will be a do-or-die battle.

After Yan Jing got off the plane, he paid attention to the matter as soon as possible, and also sent a text message to Gotze to ask him to refuel.

Yesterday's Android conference attracted the attention of the world, and countless media were present, and Yan Jing, who was sitting in the front row, naturally did not escape their eyes.

Because Rita performed at the press conference, the first thing the media thought of was naturally the scandal between Yan Jing and Rita before.

As a result, some media even blamed Yan Jing for Rita's recent inaction in her acting career, claiming that perhaps because of her relationship with Yan Jing, Rita wanted to give up this career.

Nick called him shortly after, saying that Rita had accepted Trump's offer. As for Jimmy's attitude, due to the existence of liquidated damages, they can't afford to make any big waves.

Although Jimmy still didn't say yes immediately, it was only a matter of time before they accepted the facts.

Yan Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news that Rita accepted, and as for all kinds of reports from the entertainment media, Yan Jing didn't even give it time to scoff.

Yan Jing is concerned, for example, that in three days, Borussia Dortmund will face Manchester United at the Westphalen Stadium.

As the tournament approached, the world's media rushed to Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund's semi-final match with veteran giants Manchester United has attracted a lot of attention since the first leg draw.

Originally, experts and scholars believed that Manchester United would still be better, so that Dortmund's Champions League trip would come to an end, which Manchester United team suffered a sudden attack of injuries.

Most of the main defenders were injured, adding more uncertainty to the game.

In addition to the German and English media, the Italian and Chinese media who come to Dortmund are the most.

Needless to say, the Chinese media is paying attention to Dortmund's performance in the league and Champions Cup, and the popularity has long become a phenomenon.

As for the Italian media, most of them are here to scout possible opponents for AC Milan in the final - although the match between AC Milan and Liverpool will not start until after Borussia Dort and Manchester United, AC Milan, who have already scored three away goals, are undoubtedly more likely than Liverpool to progress to the final.

In the Borussia Dortmund manager's modest office, the entire coaching staff gathered for the final stand-up before tomorrow's game.

"Are Neville and Ferdinand sure or can't play?"

'We sent someone to the hospital in Manchester to check that the injury was so severe that Ferguson couldn't put them in the squad. ”

Yan Jing nodded, and then said: "Now in our team, Dede's situation should be paid special attention, he has already carried two yellow cards, if he gets another yellow card in this game, then he will miss the final anyway." ”

Nafir's worries: "But in the last round he was the main breakthrough for Manchester United......

"So this time we have to send troops to support him, so that the back can take care of him more. Yan Jing drew out Manchester United's squad and pointed, "Now Manchester United's injury situation does not allow for too many changes in their formation, and their starting lineup will not change much from the last game." The biggest problem we have at the moment is on the German side, and secondly, we lost the initiative for a large part of the last game, and in the end we were able to draw with Manchester United, maybe it was really luck. We're at home, so we've got to show the momentum we deserve......"

At the same time, far away in Belgium, the 2007 Belgian U17 European Youth Championship has officially kicked off.

In the first group match between Group A and Ukraine, Germany, which was significantly stronger than Ukraine, won 2-0.

During the match, a group of young rookies of the German team showed their age-inappropriate strength, which attracted the attention of various media outlets.

Before 2006, there were very few future stars in Germany, and most of them were supported by veteran players.

After the disastrous defeat at Euro 2004, the German Football Association has been committed to vigorously developing youth training and introduced various policies.

A few years later, these children are among the first players to benefit from the youth reform.

Kroos and Gotze continued to be in the media spotlight and both performed very well in the game, providing an assist for each team.

Götze made a number of dangerous passes for his team, and his pass completion rate was also the highest in the game.

After the game, he beat captain Kroos to win the best player of the first game.

With Borussia Dortmund due to the second leg against Manchester United the next day, Yan Jing missed the Götze game in a meeting with the coaching staff, although he had already planned to watch the footage after the game.

————————

Dortmund in the evening of May 2.

"This is Eric...... The condition is just right, and there are no accidents...... Complete. ”

The road to Westphalia is packed with traffic, and a large number of police officers in bright yellow vests maintain order while keeping an alarmed eye on the crowd.

Tickets for the second leg against Manchester United were simply hard to come by, and they were sold out the moment they went on sale.

On the Internet, the price of scalper tickets has been speculated to dozens of times the original price, and even so, there are still many fans vying to buy them.

Although only 83,000 fans were able to attend the game, it seemed that half of the city of Dortmund was converging around the stadium.

Countless fans who couldn't get tickets tried their luck with signs saying "I need tickets" around them, trying to get a precious ticket from a fan who couldn't go there for a while.

Journalists from all over the world also gathered around, either using the Westphalia Stadium as a backdrop or grabbing a few fans to come in for interviews.

And in these media teams, the surrounding Dortmund fans found that there were a lot of media from China.

Most Chinese journalists always use Yan Jing as the center of the conversation when they are interviewing, and you drown them in all kinds of questions about Yan Jing, and of course the reporters get a variety of answers.

"Do you like Yan Jing?"

"Why not? He has brought us victory after victory, and he is simply the most endearing angel! I want to kiss him on the face!"

"How long do you think Yan Jing can coach at Dortmund?"

'Frankly, I can't be sure either, I know he's shining and other teams want to take him...... But he's a fan of ours and I'm sure he won't leave the city easily!"

In the stadium, the commentators of various TV stations have come to their positions.

German TV commentators Dicker and Feye are also in place.

In the past, the TV station did not pay enough attention to the Dortmund game, and most of the time they had to sit in the TV studio and give commentary to the fans.

This time, Borussia Dortmund reached the last four in the Champions League, and they are the only German fans still fighting in Europe.

Taili attaches great importance to this game, and after many selections, it was decided that the two of them would be the on-site commentators of the game - the opponent is a foreign team, so what does it matter if it is biased or not?

Dicker put on his headset, coughed twice, cleared his throat and began to prepare, and pointed at the camera after being reminded to start.

"Hello everyone and welcome to the second leg of the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League semi-final between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United!

"Through the camera, I can see that most of the Dort fans have entered in advance, and they have already sung a neat and loud cheering song in the stadium! In the process of entering the stadium, I saw a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium who did not buy tickets!"

Martin Feye picked up Dicker's words at the right time.

"Yes, the number of tickets is far from satisfying the needs of the fans, but even though they can't be physically in the stadium, they still choose to cheer for Dortmund in their own way......! Haha, I'm sure their business will be very good tonight!"

For others, it's just an ordinary night. But tonight is a big night of carnival for the city of Dortmund and for the people within it.

"Haha, we're really in the Champions League semi-finals!"

Douglas's Bar was packed with Dort fans, both men and women, with a large glass of beer and chatting with acquaintances and strangers around them.

A huge three-metre-long TV screen is embedded in one of the walls of the house, and the voices of Dicker and Feye are being heard throughout the bar.

Stanley Thornton, the owner of this huge TV bar, bought it specifically for the semi-finals, and it can be said that he has invested a lot of money.

Jamie Sculler, a regular customer at Douglas's Bar, not only came today, but also brought his new girlfriend.

As soon as his friends, who were usually familiar with him, saw him, they blew the hooligan whistle one after another.

"Jamie, that's good, your girlfriend is so beautiful, when are you going to get married?"

"It's still early!"

Scaller laughed and cursed his friend, wearing the shirt of Francois Francois Franco, and he hoped that Ribery could continue his excellent form tonight and help his side reach the Champions League final.

The bar was full of laughter, and the beer was already in the stomach before the game even began.

Some media have compared tonight to a festival for Dortmund fans, looking at the current situation of Dortmund city, which is really appropriate.

"Stop, stop, don't make noise, watch TV! The game will start soon!" 166Reading.com
