"CCTV TV! CCTV TV! Good evening, audience friends! ”

"It is often said that life needs a little sense of ritual, and now all the important ceremonies before the game have been completed!"

"Next is the global audience on the field and in front of the TV, and the battle of civilization is about to begin!"

"Football is the sand table of the civilized era, and football is the war of civilized people!"

"Today, the Russian team and the Saudi Arabian team will take the lead in the prelude to the big battle on behalf of the 32 teams participating in this year!"

On the TV, the host said the opening remarks enthusiastically, while Ji Qin, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding a can of beer with a confused expression.

Who am I? How did I end up here? What am I doing?

Ji Qin was originally a small white-collar worker in a first-tier city, although he didn't mix well, but he was able to support himself, and he didn't encounter such a bad thing as "996", and his only hobby was watching football.

Unlike most pseudo-fans in Huaxia, Ji Qin is a real fan!

Ji Qin's favorite home team is the Bundesliga powerhouse "Bumblebee" Dortmund, and many pseudo-fans who only know Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United may not have heard of this name.

This year's Dortmund Champions League match fell into the group of death, and was selected into Group F along with the "Western Super League" giants Barcelona, the "Nerazzurri" Inter Milan of Serie A, and the brother club of Beijing Guoan, the "leader" of the Czech Football League.

At the Champions League draw ceremony, when the results came out, the three directors of Slavia Prague all showed an embarrassed smile in their seats. Among them, the smile of the fat chairman of Slavia Prague is the most classic, and he looks like he wants to cry without tears. Subsequently, Slavia Prague's official Twitter also laughed at himself: "We have been in the Champions League for less than 24 hours, and the stalk of our vice president has been broken by everyone." ”

Originally, Ji Qin's heart was half cold when he learned about this group, and this was not the first time that Dortmund had fallen into the death group. In the 2002-2003 season, Dort was placed in a group with AC Milan, which eventually won the Champions League, Real Madrid, the defending champion, and Lokomotiv Moscow, a Russian Premier League powerhouse, and finally ranked third in the group, failing to qualify, but also gained 10 points, which can be said to be out of the tournament.

In the 2012-2013 season, Dort, as the defending champion of the Bundesliga, was in the same group as last season's Premier League champion Manchester City, last season's La Liga champion Real Madrid, and last season's Eredivisie champion Ajax, forming the Super Group of Death. At that time, Dort's fighting power was extraordinary, only drawing with their opponents in Manchester City and Real Madrid, and winning the rest of the games, finishing first in the group with a proud record of 14 points. In the subsequent knockout rounds, Dort went all the way to the final and won the Champions League runner-up that year.

In the 2013-2014 season, Dort was in the same group as Arsenal in the Premier League, Napoli in Serie A and Marseille in Ligue 1. Several teams were evenly matched, and the group stage was difficult to solve, with Dort, Arsenal and Napoli tied on 12 points, with Napoli exiting the tournament after finishing third in the group due to their win-loss relationship and goal difference. In the quarterfinals, Dort lost 2:3 to Real Madrid, who later won the championship, and stopped in the quarterfinals.

Even in the 2017-2018 season, Dort faced Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and the difficult Cypriot side Atletico Greeks in the group stage. In the end, Tottenham topped the group. Borussia Dortmund have managed just two draws against Atlético Greeks in their six group games and have missed out on the knockout rounds.

It can be said that Dortmund is almost always a regular in the Champions League death group!

Although Dortmund's performance in the league this year is average, after 7 rounds, it is temporarily in 8th place in the league with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. But in the Champions League, they did well. A 0-0 draw at home to Barcelona at the Signal Park Eston and a 2-0 win away to Slavia Prague at the Eden Arena.

After two rounds, they have a goal difference of one goal ahead of Barcelona to lead the Group F rankings.

Ji Qin finally got a ticket for the Champions League match between Inter Milan and Dortmund, and was about to fly to the Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy to support his home team, but he didn't expect to fall asleep after getting on the plane, and woke up to this familiar and unfamiliar room.

This is the house that Ji Qin rented in the magic capital before, only more than 30 square meters, although the sparrows are small but have all kinds of organs. Later, at the beginning of 2019, Ji Qin used the savings he had saved for many years, plus the money funded by his parents, to pay a down payment of less than 100 square meters for a commercial house in the magic capital where every inch of land is valuable, and he was promoted to a "house-owning family"!

Although the house I bought is not big, it can be regarded as having its own foothold in this big city, why is it back in this small room now?

"Viewers, you are now watching the first match of Group A of the group stage of the XXXI FIFA World Cup, which will be played by the host Russia against Saudi Arabia!"

In the TV set that Ji Qin bought from the second-hand market, a football game was playing.

21 World Cups? Isn't it the World Cup in Russia? Is this a replay?

Ji Qin hurriedly took out his mobile phone, which prominently displayed June 14, 2018.

No way? Ji Qin looked at his mobile phone in a daze, and suddenly the host's fierce voice came from the TV.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! ”

"The first goal of this World Cup has been scored! In the 11th minute, the Russian team smashed the goal of the Saudi Arabian team with a header! ”

"It was midfielder No. 8 Gazzinski who scored the goal!"

Ji Qin looked at the Russian team players celebrating wildly at the corner flag on the TV, his face was complicated.

As an old fan, Ji Qin may not have watched all of the 2018 World Cup in Russia just past, but Ji Qin watched the opening game. Russia's left corner kick failed, and then Golovin crossed again from the left side of the penalty area, Gazinski nodded and scored, Russia led 1-0, and finally Russia beat Saudi Arabia 5-0 in this game!

It is worth mentioning that Gazinski, a player who plays for Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League, was selected for the Russian World Cup list with great twists and turns, he was the last player to be selected for the national team list, and no one expected that he would score the first goal of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and it was also the first goal of his national team game!

Finally, Ji Qin looked at the injury time on the TV, in the big penalty area on the right side of Golovin, the arc ball scored the goal, and after two passes and one shot rewrote the score to 5-0, the big guy spread his hands, as if to say: I'm so embarrassed, how can I score so much.

Afterwards, some netizens ridiculed that this hand-like situation and the state of the two couples watching the ball had to fight.

"Whew!" There was no difference from the score in his memory, Ji Qin took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa. In other words, I really crossed over!

Back on the night of the 2018 World Cup opener!
