On the evening of November 26, 2013, two or three hours before the start of the game, the area around West** Stadium was already packed with fans from all directions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was also at this time that the TV broadcasters began to get busy.

Front-line reporters from all sides played the front-line reporting and connected with the rear studio to introduce the situation on the scene.

“...... The Dortmund fans gathered outside the stadium and they couldn't wait to start the chorus......"

"Dortmund fans spoke to us and said UEFA should lift restrictions on stands. Because of this, the south stand of the West** stadium can accommodate more than 20,000 enthusiastic Dortmund fans, which will definitely form a huge deterrent to Napoli when they visit......"

“...... Napoli fans are known for their fanaticism, but in all of Europe, the most famous fanatical fans are the Borussia Dortmund fans. Dortmund supporters' organisation has said they will show Napoli a 'real frenzy'......"

"A small number of Napoli fans are under close police protection...... If you look to my left, the Napoli fans in blue jerseys are still very conspicuous in a sea of yellow and black......"

“...... For this game, nearly 5,000 Napoli fans rushed to Dortmund to cheer on their team. That's not a lot of people. But with 62,000 Dortmund fans in the air, it's hard to say how much support they can give to their team......

Before the game, the protagonists were fans in fancy costumes.

However, as the time of the game approached, the players gradually became the protagonists.

The front report also focuses more on the players of the two teams, starting from the bus ride from their respective hotels to the West** Stadium.

“...... The doors of the Borussia Dortmund bus slowly opened, and the first to come out was Dortmund's head coach Jurgen Klopp, followed by assistant coach Jelliko Bouvac...... Next up are the Borussia Dortmund players, captain Kyle and Weidenfeller...... Zhou Yi, Royce...... Yan Min ...... Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang...... Will Dortmund be able to pull off a miracle in this game......?

“...... We have already got the starting line-up for this game just announced by Borussia Dortmund, and unlike the starting line-up for the last game against Bayern Munich, Klopp has made changes at the back - Friedrich, who has just joined the team and has only played one game, is not eligible for the Champions League because he is not registered in the Champions League squad, so naturally he will not start, and he will be replaced by Sven Bender, the midfielder who was put in the central defender position by Klopp. Sven Bender hadn't played much of that position before, and it was a real risk for Jurgen Klopp to make such a substitution before such an important game...... Of course, that's his usual style......"

“...... Sven Bender plays at centre-back, and he and Papastathopoulos also have a lack of tactical training. So Klopp's substitution may set the stage for the game...... Replacing Sven Bender in midfield is Sebastian Kehl, who is also Borussia Dortmund's captain in this game, and will form a ......back double with Shaheen in midfield.

In terms of attacking lineup, Klopp did not make any adjustments, Zhou Yi played in the middle, Aubameyang and Reus were separated on both sides, and Mark Wagner was still at the front...... This attacking line-up scored three goals against Bayern Munich in their last game, but just three goals against Napoli were not enough...... Will they be able to score at least four goals and pull off a miracle to turn the tide and prevent the defending champions from exiting early?"

From the start of the team's warm-up, the Dortmund fans showed their enthusiasm and energy, singing and cheering on the team in the stands at all costs, as if the game was already underway.

Before the game, Dortmund fans said that they would turn the Wester** stadium into hell at this moment, and their singing and enthusiasm would turn into hot lava, melting Napoli completely.

Now it seems that the Dortmund fans are doing what they say.

Such a home momentum can indeed bring a lot of pressure to the away team.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

Klopp was already there waiting for everyone.

When the last player entered the dressing room, assistant coach Jellico Bouácz closed the locker room door from the outside.

Now in the dressing room, there are only sixteen players in the squad, plus a manager Jurgen Klopp.

Jurgen Klopp didn't say anything at first, standing in the corner of the dressing room, not speaking or making a sound, just quietly watching his players sit down and prepare for the game.

It wasn't until the last player had straightened up his socks that he spoke: "Gentlemen, I've checked the information, since the 1992-1993 Champions League was restructured and the group stage was held, in the 21-year history, only one defending champion went home after playing the group stage, and that was Chelsea last season." So is it possible for the reigning Champions League champions to be out of the group? But the probability is low. ”

Speaking of this, Klopp paused slightly: "I don't say this to comfort everyone, to tell you that the probability of the defending champions going out of the group is very low, and we will not be so unlucky to encounter such a low probability event." I just want to tell you that historical data is meaningless, and if you put it into the 21-year period, of course, only one defending champion has not made it past the group stage, but at the moment, in this season, if we are eliminated, it is 100% probable. ”

'I also know that we are in a difficult situation at the moment and there are some players who are not able to play with us because of injuries. From the point of view of public opinion, many people think that if we want to beat Napoli by four goals at our own home, it is simply impossible to achieve it. Does this sound familiar?" Klopp asked rhetorically. 'Is it a bit like what we were before our last game against Bayern Munich? everyone was saying we were going to be beaten at home...... The result?"

He spread his hands and looked at his players, who had been emotionally stirred up by his rhetorical question.

"We fell behind three times and equalized three times! We taught a very vivid lesson to those who do not think highly of us all over the world with tenacity! I tell you, in the world of football, nothing is impossible! The world of football can create miracles! And we have the ability!"

Klopp raised his voice and growled.

The players in the locker room were also excited, and many of them clenched their teeth and their lips trembled.

"Can we beat Napoli by four goals in this game? Absolutely! This is our home stadium, if we can't do it here, then where else can we? Can we not concede a goal in the game? Of course we can! We've been training on the current defensive set-up for the last few days, and it's very gratifying for the form and fighting spirit of the defensive players in training. If some people are still looking at you with the same old eyes as they did from the last game, I'm sure you'll be able to surprise them!"

As he said this, Klopp set his sights on the four defenders who started the game: Grosskreutz, Durm, Papastathopoulos and Sven Bender, giving them a trusting look.

"The last thing I want to say is, remember, this is West**, this is our home field, this is our turf, since it's our turf, then ......" he paused for a moment, then smiled. "Of course we have the final say!"

Players from both sides come out of the dressing room and come to the tunnel to wait for their play.

Here Zhou Yi met Inle.

Inler didn't start the game, so he wore a thick coat and walked past the players who started both sides with his neck hunched and went straight to the bench.

But Zhou Yi stopped him: "Hey, Inle!"

Zhou Yi's voice attracted the attention of players on both sides. Inle was also stunned, and then after seeing Zhou Yi, his expression was a little embarrassed.

Zhou Yi, who claimed to beat Napoli by four goals, suddenly stopped him in front of so many people, giving him an ominous premonition.

Is it to seek revenge in person?

However, Zhou Yi did not do this, and after seeing Inle stop, he greeted him with a smile, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to the Swiss midfielder.

It's a gesture of friendliness that can be used all over the world.

Inle was surprised at first, but later reacted that Zhou Yi wanted to show kindness to himself, which may be a response to various "revenge" statements from the outside world......

Since Zhou Yidu has let go of the past very much, what position does Inle still have to be hesitant?

So he also smiled and shook hands with Zhou Yi, and finally the two hugged each other and patted each other's backs.

Of course, all this happened under the lens of the camera, and this scene of harmony and friendship was broadcast live all over the world through live television.

When Duan Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "Before the game, Zhou Yi also took the initiative to shake hands and hug Inle...... It also adds some heartwarming touches to this pivotal battle...... A game is a game, and no matter how fierce you fight on the field, it doesn't prevent you from showing friendship off the field......"

As the starters waited in the tunnel, Norbert Darkel was seen on the live broadcast leading the crowd in chanting the names of the Borussia Dortmund players.

Wave after wave of cheers resounded in the sky.

Naturally, this is also a means used by the home fans to put pressure on the visiting team.

The Dortmund fans have made the atmosphere at home more terrifying and they have done everything they could.

Now it's up to the players on the field.

Will they be able to become heroes for all Borussia Dortmund fans today?
