Chapter 1401: Tenderness Before the Storm
To be honest, seeing those Dortmund fans who came to the airport to greet him, Lin Yu was still quite moved and a little surprised.
After all, this time he came as an enemy, not just here to train like last season's Champions League.
Before going to the battlefield, they are not enemies, probably this means, these fans hope to seize the time before the game to welcome Lin Yu, Reuss, Gundogan, the three former Dortmund players, especially Lin Yu!
Lin Yu was also very enthusiastic, and when he walked out of the airport, he not only took photos with these fans, but also signed autographs for them, as if he had come to the city for a tour, not a game.
Unlike him were Reus and Gundogan, who were obviously much more nervous and did not dare to look at the Dortmund fans, as if they were afraid of being resented.
"Hey, you two are enough, I didn't see you nervous when I was in Madrid, why are you nervous when you come?" Lin Yu smiled and put his arms around the shoulders of the two people and said.
"We don't want to be nervous, but it's inevitable to be nervous at the thought that after the game starts, you might be booed by the fans who came to support you, and Gotze called me the other day and said he was very sad and helpless." Royce sighed.
"Oh, I know, he also called me, I scolded that kid, sad fart, since I decided to leave, then don't care about the scolding, you see I don't care." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"And what if you are booed by the Dortmund fans at the start of the game?" Gundogan asked.
"Nonsense, since they want to boo me, it means that they regard me as an enemy. Then I have to regard them as enemies, and I don't owe them to Dortmund. Nothing is owed to them. Lin Yu pursed his lips and said.
"You're awesome, we can't do it."
"Alright, alright. The game only starts tomorrow, so just relax today and don't think about it so much. ”
……
In a tavern, the TV is showing the scene of the Real Madrid players coming out of the airport. Mossa took a sip of a leather ball and snorted coldly.
"Hey, Mosa, what are you humming, I know the truth, you have always liked Lin Yu, right? You've been keeping an eye on him. A drinking friend next to him said with a smile.
"You see how happy that kid is smiling, and he doesn't even feel like he's coming to an enemy city." Mosa pointed to Lin Yu on the TV and said.
"Hasn't that kid always been an optimist, you don't understand, you don't care what that does, but you, really don't go to the airport or hotel to take a photo with him?" The drinking buddy asked.
"No, no."
"Hahaha, you kid is still arrogant, I remember that a few days ago, didn't you tell us happily that Lin Yu was coming back, do you have to take a photo with Lin Yu? This big guy knows everything. ”
"That's not going either. How ruthless that kid was when he left, many fans knelt down and begged him, and he didn't relent. Mossa said angrily.
"That's not what you said, didn't someone burn his jersey in the first place? Someone even smashed his car. He didn't say anything at the time, but he must have been very dissatisfied. ”
"Alas...... Those idiots! Mossa took a sip of his wine and scolded.
"If you don't go, I'm going to go. The airport is far away, but the hotel they stayed in is very close. ”
"I ......"
"Alright, alright. Can I still not understand you? Although we all like Lin Yu very much, we are still Dortmund fans after all. Therefore, you can't support Lin Yu with great fanfare. I know this, but it's okay to take a look, take a group photo, and ask for an autograph, right? ”
As the drinker spoke, he simply pushed Mosa.
In fact, Mosa is the most common fan among Dortmund fans, they firmly support Dortmund in their hearts, but at the same time they like Lin Yu, they will not betray Dortmund because of Lin Yu, but they want to support Lin Yu, so they have been very entangled.
It's not that easy to be a double fan, especially when you're hostile, and you don't seem to be doing the right thing.
Of course, he was also a little angry, in fact, he could understand the reason why Lin Yu left Dortmund in the first place, but Lin Yu left without saying a word, and he didn't write anything on the Internet to comfort his fans.
In their opinion, Lin Yu was too ruthless, so he was a little angry.
In fact, where did they know about the Tao, Lin Yu was a hairy child at the beginning, he didn't understand anything about the world, and he was afraid that he would attract a lot of abuse after saying something, so he didn't do anything in the end.
If it were Lin Yu today, he might have handled this kind of thing, but Lin Yu was really a hairy kid at that time.
……
When Lin Yu arrived at the hotel, he was surrounded by reporters, although he had scolded these media many times as bloody sprinklers, but these media stuck to him like kraft candy, and he couldn't throw them away.
Journalists are wondering what it feels like to return to Dortmund as an enemy when he returns to Dortmund this time, and how he will face this game.
To tell the truth, I have been away from Dortmund for so long, what hatred and hatred are actually fading, but the sincere love has become stronger and stronger, because he has thought about his life, if there was no Dortmund, maybe he will never be able to get out of the first step of football, without the first step, there is no second step, and the road behind is difficult to walk, so this kindness, as time goes by, not only does not fade, but becomes stronger.
In fact, he would like to hear the Dortmund fans scold him, so that he will be more comfortable, and he will not have to worry about any kindness, but can play hard.
But if he deliberately annoys the Dortmund fans for this, he doesn't think it's necessary, after all, this is his last season, and he doesn't want to be so stiff with the fans of his old club.
So when the media asked him about the Dortmund fans and his questions, he just smiled and said: "As many people love me, they hate me." It's normal, I'm coming to Dortmund this time. I just want to play well, I don't care about anything else. ”
He replied professionally. But it also means that they didn't say anything, so where are the reporters willing to give up.
Someone asked: "When you were about to leave Dortmund, there were fans who knelt down and begged you to stay, did you feel a little indebted to these people?" There are also some fans who burn your jersey and scold you, will you hate these people? ”
To be honest, such a question made Lin Yu feel very unhappy, which made it clear that he was deliberately embarrassed by making a fool of himself, and it was not good to answer well, and it was not good not to answer.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to judge the opponent's fans, don't forget who I am, but I'm a Real Madrid player. He decided to prevaricate in the past, because no matter how he answered, it was inevitable that he would offend people in the end, he didn't want to get his old club, that's all, if it was another team, it would be different. He may speak freely and dare to say anything.
But after all, this time the opponent is different.
People can't forget their ancestors.
Of course, you can't talk nonsense, but the game has to be played ruthlessly. He will never show mercy to his opponent because he is Borussia Dortmund, this is football, and I believe that the opponent does not want him to be pitied on the pitch. Because it's not so much pity as an insult.
……
On the day of the race. The Westphalian Stadium has long been filled with fans, and the yellow and black dominate the stadium. At this time, there are still more than two hours before the start of the game.
There is a huge flag in the stands, which is a yellow and black skull, which is the symbol of the Devil's home stadium at the Westphalian Stadium.
In the past, such a skull was Lin Yu's pride, but now, it is about to become his enemy.
Before Lin Yu joined, after Lin Yu joined, after Lin Yu left, this stadium has not changed, it will always be the hottest stadium in Europe, basically every game is overcrowded, basically any team can feel the oppressive atmosphere when they come here.
This is Westphalia, the home of the Devils!
If Real Madrid and Dortmund are said to be talked, there are still a lot of grievances between them, although they are not mortal enemies, but they are definitely not friends, although Lin Yu is now in Real Madrid, which makes the relationship between the two teams a little more harmonious, but this is just off the field, once the game starts, Dortmund will do their best to play, this game, will definitely be a hard game.
Jurgen Klopp's team has never been easy to deal with.
Lin Yu admired Klopp's words very much: "We are not giants, but we specialize in killing giants!" ”
What a domineering leak, and Dortmund has really done such things many times.
So this is definitely not a good place for Real Madrid, and it may be very dangerous, don't think that if you are 2-0 ahead at home, you can sit back and relax, and wait until you get out of this devil's home stadium before talking about other things.
Because the game has not yet started, the Dortmund fans on both sides did not show that kind of ruthlessness, and there was no saber-rattling atmosphere in the stands, and even some Dortmund fans were still chatting and joking with Real Madrid fans.
Everything seems to be gentle, but those who really know this place will know that this is just a sign before the storm, enjoy the temporary peace, once the game starts, it will not be so good.
……
When the two teams were warming up, Lin Yu also greeted his old teammate Subotic and others, and even Klopp hugged him, he didn't care about the eyes of the media, the media said that they played tacit ball, said that they played match-fixing, it was meaningless, there was no evidence, no matter how much you said, it was just a ridiculous voice.
Reus and Gundogan's faces also improved a lot, because the Dortmund fans in the stands didn't boo them or scold them, which reassured them a lot. They don't expect these fans to support them, but they really don't want the fans they once liked to scold them, and that's sad.
The Dortmund fans in the stands who were originally wearing Lin Yu jerseys have also changed their clothes, and the game is about to start, they are Dortmund fans first, and Lin Yu fans second, they have to support their players.
Lin Yu doesn't mind this, it's normal, fans should support their team first whenever they are, otherwise you don't deserve to be a fan of this team.
Zidane has no hesitation about his team beating Dortmund to advance to the Champions League final, he is sure that his team can do it, but he doesn't want to cause the team to lose because of carelessness, so when warming up, he told his players to warm up fully, and don't look at the current Dortmund fans so friendly, after the game starts, it will definitely be different.
