Before departing from Manchester Airport to Dortmund, an English reporter seemed to be trying to embarrass Mourinho and asked: "The home team has conceded two goals, and the team is in a serious situation to qualify, may I ask Mr. Mourinho, have you ever thought that it will be more difficult away from home, such as being killed twice?" ”

'I admit it's going to be tough, but I have confidence and the players have confidence. Mourinho took a deep look at the press card on the journalist's chest and remembered the face and the media he was in.

Chelsea's sporting director Granovskaia, who travelled to Dortmund with the team, told his assistants: 'For a month, journalists from this outlet will be banned from Cobham [training ground]." ”

As soon as the plane took off, Mourinho gathered his coaching team and met throughout the trip to discuss the tactics and details to be aware of against Borussia Dortmund.

Upon arrival in Dortmund, the entire Chelsea team, including Jose Mourinho, quickly exited the airport through security and refused all media interviews, leaving the Chelsea team unusually low-key and silent.

At the Dortmund training base, Jurgen Klopp looked at the news of the arrival of the Chelsea man with a solemn expression.

For the day that followed, the entire Chelsea squad remained silent and their training sessions were closed, refusing all media visits.

……

On the afternoon of 29 April, the Chelsea squad left their hotel and boarded a bus to the Signal Iduna Signal Park Stadium.

The bus headed for the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna, and along the way, the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-final was already very strong, and the flags and slogans on both sides of the road told everyone that this night belonged to the Champions League, and it belonged to the duel between Dortmund and Chelsea.

Along the way, you can see a large number of Chelsea fans, wearing Chelsea shirts, following the escort buses, waving and giving them a thumbs up to the players, and later singing the Chelsea anthem all the way, as the blue torrent heads towards the Signal Idona Stadium.

The Signaling Park Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, left Chelsea fans with only a few thousand away tickets, and according to media reports, nearly 10,000 Chelsea fans came to Dortmund on this day, indicating that nearly half of the fans could not enter the stadium to watch the game, so they had to stay outside the stadium to cheer for Chelsea.

England are now without stands.

After the Heisel tragedy, the release of the Taylor report led to the cancellation of traditional British platforms throughout England and even Europe, and the surviving West*** South Stand has become a must-see mecca for fans.

Visitors fans came from afar to cheer for their home team from the crowded and noisy stands, which resembled the raucest nightclub, with crowds dancing and singing and countless fireworks lighting up the sky.

There have never been any stadium accidents in Germany, so Dortmund have been allowed to keep the stands. However, Borussia Dortmund have also seriously considered converting the two standing stands in the north and south into full seats.

But the fans were not happy, and numerous fan groups mobilized their best efforts to lobby the club to keep the platform, and eventually the club's hierarchy accepted their request. A small part of the North Stand is still a platform, reserved for visiting fans at a low price. The South Stand, on the other hand, is still a full-standing stand, and the South Stand at the Signal Park Stadium at Iduna has become the largest one-sided stand in the world, but it will still be switched to full seating when it comes to UEFA matches or international matches.

About an hour later, the fans were all in the stadium.

Looking down at the famous Devil's Stadium from a helicopter hired by German television, you will find a tiny number of away fans wearing Chelsea's blue shirts, like a pool of water in yellow volcanic lava, tiny and completely surrounded by the home team's fans.

This design of Dortmund's home stadium can maximize the atmosphere of the home stadium, which is one of the reasons why Dortmund's home stadium has become the most famous devil's stadium in the world.

……

Referee Rizzoli from Italy blew the whistle for the start of the match.

Amid the huge cheers of the whole stadium, the second leg of the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Dortmund's home match against Chelsea, officially began.

"The feeling I have now is that I feel like I'm in a caldera and the atmosphere in the stadium is so hot." He Wei shouted loudly, CCTV Sports Channel attaches great importance to this game, as early as after Dortmund entered the semi-finals, they were crazy advertising Dortmund and Chelsea's home game, He Wei and his partner Zhang Lu also came to the Iduna Signal Park Stadium again to broadcast the game live.

In fact, major domestic travel agencies have also opened up a popular route of 'going to Dortmund to watch the Champions League semifinals and cheering for Jiang Chenxi'.

However, this is more of a gimmick, the tickets for this game have long been snapped up by the fans of the home team Dortmund, and many domestic individual fans who signed up for the tour came to Dortmund only to find that the tickets promised by the travel agency could not be fulfilled at all. They could only ask the Jiang Chenxi Fan Association for help.

Later, it was the Jiang Chenxi Fan Association who asked Jiang Chenxi for help, and Jiang Chenxi helped some die-hard fans solve part of the tickets through the club, but this is also a drop in the bucket, after all, the club's reserved tickets are also very few, and it is impossible to provide them all to Jiang Chenxi.

For this reason, Su Xun showed her ability and adaptability, she invited fans who did not have tickets to go to Dortmund's bars to watch the game, for this reason, Jiang Chenxi Fan Association chartered several large bars in the suburbs of Dortmund, no way, the bars in the city have long been filled by Dortmund fans, and the more than 70,000 tickets at home can not meet the needs of home fans at all.

Not only that, but the 'Dawn Light' website also officially announced on behalf of Jiang Chenxi's fan organization that some travel agencies suspected of deceiving Jiang Chenxi's fans this time were listed as a blacklist for cooperation by the Jiang Chenxi Fan Association, and it was widely advertised on the website to warn fans to raise their awareness of prevention, and at the same time, if there are deceived fans who decide to sue with these travel agencies, Jiang Chenxi's legal team will also provide legal assistance.

This incident has also been widely reported by the media, and the efforts of the team led by Jiang Chenxi and Su Xun for the fans have also been widely praised by the media.

"According to the information we have, several of the largest bars in the suburbs of Dortmund have been chartered by Jiang Chenxi fan organizations." "Even though they couldn't go into the stadium to watch the game, it was a great experience to be able to witness the game in person at Borussia Dortmund. ”

……

Ten minutes into the game.

Jose Mourinho noticed that Borussia Dortmund had been more conservative from the start of the game, adopting a counter-attacking tactic of defensiveness.

He wasn't too surprised to see that Dortmund were able to guess that Chelsea would take advantage of the opening kick-off, which was normal, and for Mourinho, he was inspired by the opening leg of the second leg between Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, and it was clear that Dortmund had learned their lesson.

It's nothing.

This situation is also in Mourinho's consideration, he is not too worried, because Dortmund has always played very open at his home stadium, even in the face of Bayern Munich, Dortmund will eventually slowly press out to attack, Klopp's team still advocates attack in their bones.

Chelsea are happy to see Borussia Dortmund press out and attack so that they can take advantage of Dortmund's pressure and look for scoring opportunities.

Klopp, meanwhile, glanced in the direction of the Chelsea dugout, and was guilty of Mourinho's cunning.

John Terry's injury was indeed a smokescreen, and the Chelsea captain not only started but was in good form judging by his performance in the past ten minutes or so.
