Chapter 106: The Yellow and Black Wall

In the midst of all the attention, the 2013~2014 season of the German Super Cup has arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Last season's Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund take on Bayern Munich, the double champions of the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

It was the first direct conversation between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, both of whom were young and well-known young managers, and both managers who had put their team's attacking stamp on the team.

The media and fans seem to be excited earlier than the players in the face of such a conversation.

At noon on August 13, 2013, the Borussia Dortmund players set off from the training base and headed to their home stadium.

In the car, the mood of the team members was a little strange.

Lin Yi didn't understand why, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of the "German derby" when he first arrived.

Since I don't agree with everyone's ideas, I'd better eat my stuff honestly.

The food provided on the bus, Lin Yi seemed to chew slowly, but he ate there without stopping.

Later, after a long time, Royce, who had always been a foodie, realized that this guy was actually relaxing and decompressing by eating.

When the bus arrived at the stadium, the players seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Sitting in front of his cabinet and preparing to change clothes, at this time, Lin Yi was flanked by Lewandowski and Reus, the two main attackers of Dortmund looked at Lin Yi's expression and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.

"Lin, aren't you nervous?"

Lin Yi, who was checking his shoe spikes, shook his head, as if his calmness was a matter of course.

Lewandowski and Royce glanced at each other across Lin Yi, this Chinese kid was always as calm as an ice cube.

They also remember vividly what they each looked like when they first participated in the German Derby, as well as the one who sat between them before.

At that time, Gotze had already played in a few matches against Bayern, but he was still nervous before the game, and he couldn't even position the shin guards.

Maybe that's what the derby is all about, and even though the opponent may be familiar, you'll still feel the excitement before the game.

And this feeling, once not well controlled, can easily evolve into emotions such as nervousness and even fear.

Lin Yi was obviously in good control, standing in the middle of the locker room and preparing to arrange tactics again, Klopp clearly saw the battle intent in Lin Yi's eyes when he raised his head.

"In this game, we focused on '4-1-3-2', and the midfield still had Lin as the core and passed the ball. Isn't Bayern Munich particular about ball control? We're going to have to fight them for the ball! They must not be allowed to attack comfortably with the ball! ”

The players responded with satisfaction, and Klopp clapped his hands in satisfaction as the strength and conditioning coach led the players onto the pitch to warm up.

Jurgen Klopp came out with a more control-oriented "4-1-3-2" formation, and it can be said that the wild coach even gave up part of his defense for the sake of control.

Pep Guardiola also pushed his players onto the pitch at this time and began to warm up.

Lin Yi pressed his legs seriously, and then turned back and ran, carrying out these seemingly very basic warm-ups.

On the other side of the field, Gotze, who walked on the field, greeted his former teammates from Dortmund and winked at his friend Lin Yi, whom he had just met a few days ago.

Lin Yi smiled at Gotze and didn't say anything, but when he turned to continue training, Lin Yi's eyes swept over Thiago, who was wearing the No. 6 jersey.

"Lin! Pass the ball! ”

Royce shouted like this and waved his hand to Lin, who didn't think about it, shook his ankle, rubbed the football out of an arc, and flew to Royce's feet.

Reuss, who received the ball, volleyed and the ball flew out of Weidenfeller's hand and into the net.

Weidenfeller turned to pick up the ball in the goal and muttered in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be good for you to take care of the elderly?" ”

At this time, there were already many fans sitting in the Westphalian Stadium.

When they saw Gotze warming up on the field, they erupted in very intense emotions.

Some are more sane and are greeting their former core.

But there were also a lot of brain-dead people, who greeted Götze with all kinds of foul language from the stands.

Götze announced his move to Bayern Munich at the end of the season at the end of the season, and he still needed to play for Borussia Dort.

In fact, from that time on, he began to slowly get used to playing at the Westphalia Stadium, which was full of scolding, and only occasionally felt a little ashamed and regretful.

This is professional football, and a lot of things happen before you expect it.

Lewandowski stood beside Lin Yi, turned his head to look at Götze, who was warming up over there, and sighed softly.

"Poor Mario, in fact, he didn't want to leave at the beginning, but the transfer fee and treatment given by Bayern, plus many small factors, led to his departure."

Listening to Lewandowski's words, Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, he seemed to have been thinking more openly about these things related to money.

He didn't want to continue the discussion on the topic, but just concluded with a sentence.

"Rest assured, when he returns to Dortmund, no one will continue to hate him. Because at that time, I was going to make everyone just look at me. ”

He said something that sounded very arrogant, but his expression was a light smile that he deserved.

Lewandowski was stunned, and Lin Yi reached out and knocked on his chest.

"Come on! Take them down! ”

Lewandowski nodded subconsciously, Lin turned around and shot a curling ball, and the football once again hit the goal behind Weidenfeller, and Weidenfeller, who was training one-on-one with Royce, opened his mouth.

"Damn, it's really inhuman!"

The warm-up time is not very long, because it will take a physical drain.

Lin Yi and the others returned to the locker room to make the final adjustments.

Royce checked his shoes and shin guards before standing up.

Jurgen Klopp had already made the final arrangements and was relieved to turn around and go to the dugout himself.

The starting eleven were all gathered at the door of the dressing room, and captain Weidenfeller brought everyone together.

"Last season, we didn't win against Bayern Munich and now it's the best chance to get revenge, brothers!"

"Down with them!"

"That's right! Defeat them and win this championship! ”

"Good! Remember our goal, go, play! ”

After Weidenfeller finished speaking, he stood at the front, and the players behind him stood in this way, and Weidenfeller, who was holding a glove in one hand, opened the locker room door.

Standing in the players' tunnel, the players of Bayern Munich were already waiting there.

Lin Yi followed at the end of his own team and looked at it calmly, he had noticed earlier that although Bayern Munich is the symbol of the German team, the real star in the team is from other countries.

At the moment, this person was standing side by side with him, wearing the same number.

Lin Yi turned his head to look at Robben, who was less than thirty, but looked like a middle-aged uncle.

It can only be said that this uncle's appearance is too deceptive and uninformed, and no one would have thought that this uncle, who seems to be in his forties, has a dribbling speed that makes all opponents palpitate.

Standing in front of the Bayern Munich team is their captain Lahm.

The modest captain was more compact next to Weidenfeller, but it was he who lifted three of the most important trophies he could lift last season.

Weidenfeller was turning back to talk to the big man behind Lahm, who was the German international Manuel Neuer, who had never had a chance to make his mark in the national team.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund make up almost the majority of the German national team, and although they are in charge of each other on the field, they are having a good conversation at the moment.

Lin Yi saw the taciturn Thiago Alcantara wearing the number six, but he did not see Gotze.

Sure enough, Lin Yi touched his temple, which was the same as I thought.

The referee had already waited in the tunnel of the players, watching the players of the two teams exchange a few words, and he was the first to stand up.

The players also stood in order, and began to walk out amid the words of the host of the scene.

At the entrance of the players' tunnel, there is a shelf with a football on it.

And in front of this shelf, there is another shelf, and on this one is the glittering German Super Cup trophy.

The referee picked up the soccer ball and the players from both teams followed him on either side, neither of them squinting as they walked past the left and right sides of the trophy.

On this night, there will be a team that will pass by this trophy.

Here's a look at the visiting Bayern Munich starters: No. 1 Manuel Neuer, No. 4 Dante, No. 6 Thiago Alcantara, No. 7 Franck Ribery, No. 9 Mario Mandzukic, No. 10 Aljan Robben, No. 17 Jérôme Boateng, No. 21 Philippe Lahm, No. 25 Thomas Müller, No. 27 David Alaba, No. 31 Bastian Schweinsteiger. Manager: Josep Guardiola. ”

As each name was pronounced, there was a burst of boos from the audience.

Bayern Munich's players seem to have gotten used to it, and in a sense, it is an honor to be treated like this at Dortmund's home stadium.

And when the names of Dortmund's players were read, the scene was naturally jubilant.

When all the players of both teams stood on the pitch, the South Stand, which has 25,000 seats, roared with joy.

Many, many years later, when Lin was old enough to even start to get old, he still remembered that there was a place in the world that was called "the wall of yellow and black".

It's impossible for every Dort fan not to know the place.

As Fabian Ludwig, who has been hanging the yellow and black flag in the stands before the start of every game for many years, has said.

"Maybe that's where I first fell in love with football."

Slowly, Lin Yi, who had been here for a long time, understood.

In fact, for these players, the South Stand is not only a banner flying all over the field, nor is it a wild cheer after every goal.

It is a kind of following, a kind of support, and a backing from the heart, from the blood and bones.

Lin Yi, who walked on the court at this time, couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it over there......
