"Brun, the self-proclaimed 'most run-down town in France' by Ribery, now sees Ribery as their pride. After spending three seasons at the youth academy in Lille, Ribery returned to his hometown club Brony Bolegni in 1999. In January 2005, Ribery spent five months at Turkish giants Galatasaray. In five months, he scored five goals and provided five assists for the team and won the Turkish Cup. He then joined Marseille in the 2005/2006 season and was even selected for the French national team...... And now, he has become the 'dream girl' of all European giants in Dortmund. ’”

"During our two-day shoot, in addition to a lot of interviews with Yan Jing, the reporter also interviewed Ribery in person. Why did he choose to come to Dortmund? Ribery told us: 'The boss was the most important reason for me to join Dortmund. The head of his mouth is naturally Yan Jing, the Chinese coach who is now coaching Dortmund. According to Franck Franchi, the 2005/06 season did not go well for Marseille, but he has since gotten better and better, and has gradually become a regular in Marseille. He would have continued to gain experience at Marseille before playing in major European leagues, but a phone call from Yan Jing lit up another option in his life. ”

"'In the beginning, I was reluctant to go to Germany, because the new environment meant more uncertainty and risk, and the language barrier made my daily life extremely difficult, so Dortmund was not my first choice. But what the boss said on the phone was really appealing, saying that I would be the heart of Dortmund's attack, that I would get more room to move and that I would have unrestricted firing. ’”

"'As an attacking player, that's definitely the kind of superstar you have, and I can't tell him I'm not impressed at all, but I still have doubts, so the head said – all right, then I'll come to Marseille tomorrow. ’”

He invited me to a small open-air concert with the now famous Red Moon in the Sea, and it was in that noisy environment that we talked a lot about the transfer, and I decided on my future that day. ’”

Yan Jing, this Chinese has been coaching Dortmund for two and a half seasons, but for domestic fans, he is still covered with a thick veil of mystery when he rarely gives media interviews. Through this visit to the Dortmund training base, we interviewed several Dortmund players, staff and local fans, and were able to get to know more about this young man who brings infinite pride to Chinese football. ”

When we asked Ribery what kind of person Yan Jing was in their eyes, the French replied. 'The boss is talented in many ways, such as his amazing execution, his unique way of thinking about football and his affable leadership, but what impresses me the most is his words that make your heart flutter – that's why I left Marseille to play for Borussia Dortmund in the first place. ’”

"Another Spaniard, David Silva, who has also been in excellent form this season, said, 'The boss is an absolute workaholic and football has taken over his life. Last season, I watched the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on TV and saw him celebrating with his players in the stadium. More than two hours later, he was knocking on my door. I think even if he was at home, he must have been studying the game footage or thinking about the tactics for the next game. ’”

"We also spoke to the big French defender Thuram who joined this season, and he is still reluctant to reveal why he chose to join Dortmund, but he said: 'I don't regret joining Dortmund at all, he is younger than me, but age doesn't mean anything, I believe he will achieve more in the future.' ’”

"Young Portuguese full-back Fabio Coentrão, who was recommended to the club by Yan Jing when he was an assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund, and who brought him to Germany himself. He said: 'The boss is a very nice person, he is our guide in training and on the field, but in private he is our trusted friend. ’”

"On top of that, we also met an unexpected visitor – a Borussia Dortmund youth player named Mario Gotze, who is only 15 years old but has already been selected for the German Under-17 national team and is a future star of Dortmund. When Yan Jing was in charge of Borussia Dortmund's Under-13 team, Gotze was a member of his team. It is worth mentioning that if it wasn't for Götze's shot that flew away at that time, we probably wouldn't have been able to see the scene in European football now. At the end of the training, Gotze appeared in front of the gate of Dortmund, and Yan Jing next to us was in a very good mood after seeing Gotze. Gotze rushed into Yan Jing's arms, and although Yan Jing has now become the head coach of the first team, it seems that he still maintains a close relationship with Yan Jing. ”

"Apparently Gotze hadn't noticed our presence before, and when he saw that our camera was aimed at him, he quickly jumped down from Yan Jing's arms and stood up straight. Regarding Gotze, Yan Jing smiled and said, 'Mario is the most talented young player I have ever met, and he works harder than others, and I believe he will definitely become a superstar in the future.' And when we turned around and asked Götze what he thought of Yan Jing, the young Götze struggled for a long time before he stammered, 'Uh...... The boss is very good to me, always helps me on and off the pitch, I think he ...... He's a good guy. ’”

Yan Cheng and He Yingxia stayed in front of the TV, listening to the players' comments on their sons, they all felt that something was not true.

In the eyes of Yan Cheng and He Yingxia, Yan Jing is still the stubborn boy in his memory who swallows all his stomach even if he suffers a great grievance and is unwilling to tell others.

They lamented that time really makes people change, and at the same time, He Yingxia also talked about Ge Tsze.

"This baby named Gotze is really well-behaved, and he looks very good with our Xiaojing. ”

Yan Cheng glanced at Ge Ce, who stammered on the screen and said that Yan Jing was a good person, and nodded with a smile: "Maybe it's the world superstar in the future, remember his name." ”

The special program of Tianxia Football continues to be broadcast, and Chen Wenjiang, the producer of Tianxia Football, looks at the ratings data that has been rising, and his eyes are narrowed with laughter.

It seems that the whole Chinese people are really paying attention to him! The rating of 5.28% is ten times higher than the ratings record they set before!

The next day, Borussia Dortmund will take on Hertha Berlin at the Westphalen Stadium. When our team arrived near the stadium two hours early, there were already a lot of fans in all kinds of yellow and black costumes hanging around. They may not be as well-known in China as the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and AC Milan, but the warmth and loyalty of the city's fans are certainly as good as any of the giants. Back in the 2003/2004 season, Yan Jing's first year at Borussia Dortmund, when he was still the manager of the Under-13s and the club was on the verge of bankruptcy. In the first half of the 2004/2005 season, Dortmund even fell into the relegation zone, and the team had a poor record. Even so, the local Dortmund fans still unreservedly support the team, and the Westphalian Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, is packed for every game. ”

"We interviewed a few random fans on the street, and when they found out that we were here for Yan Jing, they were all enthusiastic about opening up the conversation. ”

"'Yan Jing is like our savior from the sky!'" the male fan said excitedly, 'At first, most of us thought the team management was crazy to let a Chinese be the team's interim manager. ’”

"At this point, the fan explained, 'Well, of course, I don't mean to look down on the Chinese in the slightest, but when it comes to football, no one seems to think of China, and my understanding of Chinese football is limited to the World Cup in 2002.' So I thought Yan must be a layman, and my friends and I were desperate to think that Dortmund would definitely play in the second division next season. ’”

"But what happened next was unbelievable, it took him half a season to pull the team out of the relegation zone and into the Champions League! The next year we not only retained second place in the league, but also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League! And now? haha, we're going to the semi-finals of the Champions League! It's crazy, isn't it?!"

"Foreign media call Yan Jing 'the magical wizard of the East', how incredible, a Chinese, not only makes domestic fans proud, but also makes countless foreign fans happy. ”

"Before the official start of the game, the whole Westphalian stadium was filled with the singing of the fans in unison. We were in the South Stand, the fabled gathering place of Dort die-hard fans, and machines recorded their frantic cheers and cheers. They are not repeating robots, their voices are hoarse from the excessive roar, but they never stop. We were shocked by the fact that the images and sounds were only a small part of what they could say, but even so, you can definitely understand why we say that they love Borussia Dortmund as much as any other big club. ”

Dortmund had won five in a row before that, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Franck Ribery and Shahin. Unfortunately we couldn't get into the Dortmund dressing room at half-time to find out. ”

"24 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses, 75 points, this is the current Dortmund points, there are still 5 rounds to go until the end of the Bundesliga. Stuttgart's 0-0 draw at Bremen means they are seven points ahead of Stuttgart and one step closer to the Bundesliga title. ”

Ten days later, Borussia Dortmund will play the Red Devils in the semi-finals of the Champions League at Old Trafford at the Theatre of Dreams...... There will be a team coached by Chinese on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals, which sounds like a fantasy fairy tale that will be staged at the most suitable dream theater. ”

"The first Asian manager to win the Bundesliga, the first Chinese to reach the Champions League final, we can imagine what kind of surprises Yan Jing will bring us in the future...... 166 Reading Network
