Chapter 20: The History of Indomitability
Inadvertently, Dresden has completed a miraculous eight-game winning streak and increased the league points to 42 points, leaping to fourth place in the Bundesliga, just three points off the promotion zone. And what is very beneficial to Dresden is that in the next schedule, two of the three teams in the first division will play against Dresden, that is, the opportunity to win the first division has been completely grasped by Dresden himself
In this case, Dresden, who are now in high spirits, ushered in a crucial battle, they will face the current second place in the Bundesliga Aachen team on March 17, the latter currently has 46 points, if Dresden can win, the gap between the two teams can be narrowed to only 1 point, and once lost, the gap between Dresden and the promotion zone will be opened again, and it is likely to lead directly to the failure of promotion, so the importance of this game cannot be overstated.
I don't know if it's to add another fire to this big battle, but the bar owner Haque at this time will Gao Jun say at the beginning, "Dresden should be a Bundesliga team, isn't it?" "It came out, and it immediately detonated the passion of the media and fans.
After Gao Jun admitted to the media that he did say this at the beginning, the fans of Dresden, especially those old fans who have experienced the whole process of the team's glory and decline, were all moved, and Gao Jun and Neuer's promise that as long as the team succeeded, the promise that Dresden fans did not have to worry too much about it even if they entered the Bundesliga, and the support of the two among the fans continued to accelerate. It made his acquaintances and friends a little crying and laughing
Even Gao Jun's neighbor Werner, who thinks he is not a fanatical fan, specially invited Gao Jun and other Dresden players living in the same apartment building to dinner before Dresden rushed to the away game, and everyone also fully understood the history of this team for more than half a century. As the elder Werner said, "Dresden has been glorious and decaying, ruined and reborn; But this team never gave in! ”
When it comes to the history of the Dresden Dynamo team, one historical figure is indispensable, namely Erich. Milk. For almost half a century, he was the head of the "Ministry of State Security", the secret police service, in East Germany. His influence was pervasive in East Germany, and the football clubs under the East German Ministry of State Security were known to fans as "Stasi", which is the abbreviation of the East German Ministry of State Security. The East German Dynamo Dresden team was such a "stasi" team, and it stands to reason that with a hard backstage like Mielke, this team should have a very good life, but the fact is the opposite, before Milk's hanging up in 1989, the Dresden Dynamo team has had to fight against all kinds of injustice and oppression
Because of the football tradition is very good, the talent base is strong. In the early days of East Germany, Dynamo Dresden dominated the league. Milk, on the other hand, was very unhappy about this, for the simple reason that he was in Berlin and not in Dresden. In 1953, Milke ordered the then Dresden Dynamo to move to Berlin to "support the development of sports". After a series of reshuffles, it became the future Dynamo Berlin club, and Milke himself served as the president of the club.
And on the other hand. After losing their team, the Dresdenians did not give up football. They soon rebuilt another team, called Dynamo Dresden, and the former East German football giants were reborn. However, although the new Dresden Dynamo team is still a Stasi team, they are as unpopular as Milke's favorite Dynamo Berlin team. But even so, the Dynamo Dresden team has re-emerged thanks to a strong local talent base and fanatical support.
In the 1970s, Dynamo Dresden had an unprecedented period of glory, winning the East German League five times in eight years from '71 to '78. However, Milk's Berlin Dynamo has fallen into a low ebb, and has been crushed by his little brother in the league.
This awkward situation made Milk unable to sit still any longer, and he completely ran the spirit of fair play to the back of his mind, using his privilege as the head of the secret police, to take all the referees to a prison reception room to talk, telling them that they must make the "right" decision when blowing the game, otherwise they will spend the rest of their lives in this prison. Under such pressure, of course, no referee dares to insist on principles anymore, and all kinds of black whistles with no bottom line in the game continue to appear.
In addition to the black whistle, Milke also used his authority to constantly poach key players from Dresden in order to weaken the main rival. This move was even more of a drawdown, and the Dresden team was inevitably weakened by a large amount of blood loss.
Under this kind of unfair oppression, Dresden football inevitably went downhill, and Dynamo Berlin won 10 consecutive East German league titles from 1979 to 1988, so much so that there are still German fans who joke that as long as East Germany does not fall, Dynamo Berlin will monopolize the championship forever. But even so, Dresden never gave in, and even though they knew they had no hope of winning the title, they did their best in every game, forcing Dynamo Berlin to rely on off-the-beaten-track moves to secure an advantage.
After Milk's fall in 1989 and the lack of interest in football, the new successor lost special attention to football, while the unshackled Dynamo Dresden finally showed their formidable strength and won the last two East German titles before German reunification.
However, with the reunification of the two Germanys, a large number of key players took advantage of the loopholes in the East German system to transfer to Western teams on a free basis, and the strength of the Dynamo Dresden team was greatly damaged. On the other hand, although the Dresden Dynamo team was very oppressed by Milk, in the eyes of outsiders, they still have the dark brand of "Stasi", so they have always been treated discriminatorily in the league. Under such stimulation, Dresden's fans became more and more extreme, and then the German Football Association disliked this team more and more, and intentionally or unintentionally gave them small shoes, which formed a vicious circle, and other teams played Dresden when they were particularly desperate, so that the living environment of the Dresden Dynamo team has been very bad.
The decline in strength and the deterioration of the external environment led to the rapid decline of the Dynamo Dresden from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga and from the Bundesliga to the regional league. Even so, the team and the Dresden fans never gave in, and in the 2003/2004 season they managed to get promoted to the Bundesliga, finishing eighth in the Bundesliga last season.
Although it would not have been for the arrival of Gao Jun, the team would have been relegated again this season due to the club's transfer mistakes, and it would not be until a few years later that the team could not return to the Bundesliga again. But even without the butterfly, with Dresden's improving economic situation, strong football foundation, loyal and enthusiastic fans and the team's unyielding fighting spirit, the Dynamo Dresden team will one day return to the Bundesliga
"Actually, the old Werner has always loved this team deeply, but he is usually covered up by the rationality of the engineer, and he doesn't seem so fanatical." , Gao Jun sighed secretly in his heart.
"Sir, don't worry, no matter how difficult this game is, we will definitely do our best to open the door to the Bundesliga for the team!" Gao Jun's assurance made old Werner very happy, but he was old and his mind was far less clear than when he was young, and he didn't hear the mystery in his words, but his granddaughter Hannah couldn't help frowning slightly.
As a more avid fan than her grandfather, Hannah has always been very concerned about the team's recent situation, and she knows very well that although Dresden has achieved an incredible eight-game winning streak, the current situation of the team is not very good, and if she knows Chinese, she will definitely think of the old saying - "At the end of the strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Minye." ”
As a very competitive sport, injuries during football matches and training are common, and Dresden has been lucky to have no main players injured in the first seven rounds of the second half, but this luck cannot last forever. In the last game, although Dresden won a wild victory, but the main right winger Hao Junmin was injured by the opponent's malicious aggression after being angry, although the situation is not particularly strict, but it will be half a month later at the earliest.
As the saying goes, "Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular." In the last joint practice before the team went to the away stadium, the main center who is very important in the team's tactical system, Xue Lin, accidentally sprained his ankle again, although it was not strict, but it was difficult to participate in the next game, unless it was closed, but Stano did not do it considering the professional future of Guilin.
In addition, Dresden has two main players suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, one is the main defender Mark Murphy. Wagfeld, the other is the main central defender Kukirka. As a result, Dresden's main players who will not be able to play in this game will reach 4, and it is inevitable that the team's strength will be damaged (to be continued......
