Chapter 210: The Yellow and Black Wall (Part I)

"Okay, let's talk about that later. At the end of this week's mid-European competition, Chelsea will face West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City will face Sunderland, while our opponents will be bitter rivals Manchester United.

"From last weekend to this weekend, facing Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester United in seven consecutive days, even the Iron Man can't bear it, and of course the injury is big. I don't know how this kind of schedule is arranged, I just want to say that this kind of schedule can only be arranged by 'geniuses'. Of course it would be naïve to think that this is the end of the game, because two days after facing our bitter rivals Manchester United, we will face our league rivals, Chelsea! When Chelsea rotate West Bromwich Albion after the Champions League game, we have to fight with Manchester United, and when they adjust to the rotation of the main team, when we play against us, we have to fight with them, not counting the previous fights with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund."

'It's a schedule like this, we have to give up. This is normal, but why is it that every time you encounter a fixture, it is spread out on Arsenal? We appealed to the FA to postpone next Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie with Chelsea, but that was dismissed. ”

Arsene Wenger shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's the support the FA has given us, none of our attitudes are as important as the TV broadcasters. Are we racing for the game, or are we playing for the TV broadcasters? ”

This is not the first time Arsene Wenger has complained about the FA's fixture schedule, as Wenger has also complained about in previous seasons. The only difference is that after Wenger's complaint was reported by the media, he was strongly supported by many managers of Premier League teams, among which basically managers have European games to play. Even Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who has always been at odds with Wenger, believes in an interview with the media that Wenger is right, and the Prime Minister should give more support to teams that are going to play European competitions, rather than blindly meeting the needs of TV broadcasters and often arranging some "strange" schedules.

In fact, Wenger doesn't say a lot about one point, such a "wonderful" schedule has also been encountered by other teams, but the probability is not as high as Arsenal. On this issue, the Premier League's managers are unanimous in their outlook.

Strangely, with the Champions League approaching, Arsene Wenger did not say anything about the opponents he was about to face, but instead talked about various league opponents, even the FA, the TV broadcasters and the refereeing committee

Combined with the previous Wenger said, in the face of such a cheating schedule, Arsenal must give up, otherwise it is easy to lose all four. For Arsenal, who have not won a title for eight and a half years, the priority now is to win a title, even if it is an FA Cup or League Cup.

In front of them, Arsenal is in a good situation in the league, having occupied the leader for a month, and has just eliminated Liverpool, who are second in the league. Compared to the struggling Champions League, Arsenal will indeed have an easier time shifting their focus to the league. This season, Chelsea and Manchester City are still in the run-in period, the form is up and down, Manchester United will be at odds, internal contradictions are gradually prominent, no matter how you look at it, it should be a good opportunity for Arsenal.

Could it be that Arsene Wenger wants to give up the Champions League and concentrate on playing in the league? Although the pressure of not winning a title for eight years has given Wenger a lot, every round of the Champions League is a green euro

Klopp touched the beard on his chin and couldn't think of what Wenger was selling when he fell to the ground. The most Lu pushed the glasses, whatever, anyway, everyone's cards are like this, after the last round and the previous game video, everyone knows each other.

So as long as you play your own game, there should be no problem, and it is on your home turf again.

Klopp, who figured this out, smiled slightly, and now his focus should be on his players. As long as their players play in line with their abilities, it is enough for Arsenal to drink a pot.

If Dortmund were up against other Premier League giants, Klopp would be careful. However, Arsenal has not been satisfactory in both league and cup competitions in recent years, especially in the Champions League, and has fallen in the first round of the knockout round for several years.

So the home game against Arsenal, especially the previous home win at Arsenal, undoubtedly gave German personality coach Jurgen Klopp a lot of confidence.

In fact, both Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp know what this game is about for the duo. At present, in this group, three rounds have passed, and all three teams have six points. If Dortmund can win this game smoothly, not only will the points become nine, but they will also have the advantage of beating Arsenal in two home and away games. Four teams, now it is basically certain that there is no play in the French Ligue 1 Marseille, so it will be much easier for the remaining three teams to grab two qualifying places, and if they can beat Arsenal twice, then there will be some twists and turns in the last two rounds of the game in time, but at least they may be able to qualify as the second place in the group.

As for Arsenal, the home defeat to Dortmund was already a slight disadvantage, so it was necessary to win this game in order to seize the initiative of qualifying in their own hands.

So this game is important for both teams and certainly for Napoli. Facing a winless Marseille at home, Napoli are not under much pressure. So their focus is also on the match between Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, and in their opinion, it would be best if the two teams could draw.

Under a lot of pressure, with a lot of attention from the outside world, this game came as promised.

The 80,000-strong Signner Iduna Park Stadium is also known as Westfa. Len Stadium was also full today. Before the game even started, the fans were already singing loudly, and the banners and slogans in the stadium stands today were almost half an hour faster than usual.

When the starters on both sides began to lead the caddies out of the players' tunnel, the "enthusiastic" Westpha. Lun Stadium reached high. Tide.

"We are firmly and faithfully together, cheering for football, Borussia Dortmund!

In the face of any opponent, there will be no loss of courage and confidence.

Cheers to football, Borussia Dortmund!

We experience joy from it, yellow and black are our colors, and we feel vitality from it.

There's happiness here, there's never giving up,

We don't have hatred, we hold hands.

Full of enthusiasm and smiling faces, we have known each other for a long time.

We are firmly and faithfully together, cheering for football, Borussia Dortmund!

In the face of any opponent, there will be no loss of courage and confidence.

Cheers to football, Borussia Dortmund!

Our team is known all over the world

Everyone knows that the players of Dortmund,

Always the strongest.

When the whistle sounded, Dortmund began to move forward

We are ready for every game and we defend our goal at all times.

We are firmly and faithfully together, cheering for football, Borussia Dortmund!

In the face of any opponent, there will be no loss of courage and confidence.

Cheers to football, Borussia Dortmund!

One more point, one more point

That is

Dortmund will never sink

One more point, one more point

That is

Dortmund will never sink! ”

The 80,000 people sang loudly, the yellow and black colors floated over the stadium, and the love and support of the Hornets fans for the team was all in their singing, cheering, and every action.

Two or three thousand Arsenal fans came away from home in the Westpha of 80,000. The Estadio Lun didn't make much of a difference, and the stadium and fans, who had set multiple UEFA records, seemed to be the 12th player at all.

Li Zihan held the caddie and wanted to cover his ears with his hands, because the voices of the fans at the scene were too loud, although the singing was good, but the huge sound pierced his eardrums.

The Dortmund players, who had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, walked out of the aisle with their heads held high and like an army.

Li Zihan was a little puzzled, didn't he say that the stadium that created the biggest decibel sound for UEFA fans in UEFA matches was Schalke Stadium with 04 Aofu Schalke, why did the fans in Dortmund Stadium have such a high decibel sound?

What he didn't know, Dortmund was of course unconvinced that his sworn enemy pressed his head, just as when he created the myth of attendance in Europe, the sworn enemy next door immediately set the record for the highest sound decibel in Europe. Therefore, Dortmund received the influence of Schalke at home, and the decibel level was not low.

Even when the host broadcast the starting lists of both sides, he was interrupted by the singing on the scene three times.

"Now let's introduce the starting line-ups of both sides, the away Arsenal starting XI are: Szczesny, Gibbs, Merdersart, Koscielny, Sagna, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Podolski, Walcott, Lee!" Dortmund live commentary, the famous Dortmund legend Norbert Dicker introduced the Arsenal list to the 80,000 fans in the stadium, and the names of the eleven took less than ten seconds.

As a Dortmund legend and a contributor to Dortmund's victory in the German Football Association Cup in 1989, he is of course biased towards Dortmund in his position. What's more, he is a die-hard Dortmund loyalist himself, and now works as a live commentator for Dortmund fan TV and Internet radio.

So the difference between Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund is quite obvious.

When it was Dortmund's turn to introduce the lineup, Dikel was not in a hurry and interacted with the fans slowly.

"Now our heroes, Roman—"

"Weidenfeller!!" The fans are also very skilled in interacting with Dicker, and it can be seen that they often cooperate like this.

"Markle—"

"Schmelzer!!"

"Sven—"

"Bender!!"

"Jonathan—"

"Hoffman!!"

"Marco—"

"Royce!!"

"Robert—"

"Lewandowski!!"

The appearance of each name, accompanied by the passionate roar of 80,000 people, will be Westfar. Len's night shines so brightly.

It's just that it doesn't look so good for the away team Arsenal
