This Ruhr derby is in the penultimate round of the league, so it also has a special significance, that is, it will be possible to decide the league title this season - Dortmund are currently as many as ten points ahead of second-placed Bayern, and with four rounds of the league remaining, if they can beat Schalke 04 away, then no matter what happens to Bayern Munich, they will win the league title early.

Schalke 04, as sworn enemies, certainly don't want to see Borussia Dortmund on their home turf.

There was a big war of words before the game, and Grosskreutz said in an interview that he was very happy to win the championship at Schalke: "It is a great stadium at Schalke, I love that stadium and especially the feeling of winning the championship in that stadium!"

His words immediately attracted condemnation from Schalke 04 fans and players.

Draxler said: "I know Dortmund are 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich, which is a big advantage, and theoretically they have a good chance of winning the title now. We may not be able to stop them from winning the championship, but we can prevent them from winning in our stadium!"

In the fan community of Schalke 04, there is also a lot of curses and curses against Grosskreutz and Dortmund.

However, unlike this kind of war of words full of gunpowder, the war of words between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge is cute......

A few days before the race, Chinese reporters went to interview Zhou Yi and Yang Muge to hear what they had to say about the encounter.

"I made a bet with Zhou Yi that whoever wins will have a dinner party, and I have prepared all the money. Yang Muge said with a smile.

"I didn't have any money, I just swiped my card. Zhou Yi responded.

The two sides fight each other's words, but it looks more like flirting......

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi and Yang Muge are good friends, and the two of them have a good relationship in private.

"Does your relationship with Zhou Yi make you feel something special in the game?" Some reporters are worried that this kind of friendship will make Yang Muge unable to get off his feet in the game.

Yang Muge shook his head: "There won't be any special feelings, a game is a game." If the manager asks me to keep an eye on Zhou Yi, I will do my best in the game. ”

"Even if it's a foul?" the reporter asked.

"It's not just fouls in defense. But if I had to, I would have fouled. Yang Muge said with a smile.

"If you take down Zhou Yi, aren't you afraid of affecting your friendship?"

"Zhou Yi is not the kind of person who is stingy, he knows that we are all our own masters, and we have to do our best in the last game. Otherwise, you ask him to see if he will show mercy for my sake?"

This same question was really thrown at Zhou Yi.

"How is that possible? I'm friends with Lao Yang, but we're both players on our respective teams, how can we do such an idiotic thing? And it won't affect our relationship. Zhou Yi stretched out his hands and felt that the reporters' worries were really unfounded.

When Zhou Yi was standing at the entrance of the passage to Schalke Stadium, waiting to play, Yang Muge came up from behind and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder.

Zhou Yi looked back and saw that it was Yang Muge, and smiled: "Yo, old Yang, you look very energetic today!"

"If you want to deal with you, you can't do it without spirit. Yang Muge said with a smile.

"...... so"

"The coach said, I'm in charge of defending you. ”

"I knew it. ”

The two men were smiling and communicating, and if it weren't for the different colors of jerseys on them, it would have made people think they were teammates on the same team. From their expressions, it was not at all clear that this was a Ruhr derby.

There was no communication between the other Borussia Dortmund players and the Schalke 04 players, they started to be bitter enemies and there was nothing to say at all.

Zhou Yi and Yang Muge are two outliers.

However, the two did not talk for long, and this time was indeed not suitable for a good conversation - if they wanted to chat, they could find a restaurant box by themselves after the game and chat slowly.

With that, the two of them returned to their queue.

Shinji Kagawa leaned in and asked, "Will your friends have reservations about you during the game?"

"Of course not, and maybe even harder than usual. Zhou Yi shook his head and said. "So Kagawa, get ready, it's not a good game to play. ”

"Uh......" Shinji Kagawa had nothing to say.

On the other side, Draxler was also asking Yang Muge, "What did you talk to him about?"

'I told him I was going to defend him for this game. ”

"Ah, didn't he know our tactics in advance!" Draxler was anxious.

"Don't get excited, Julian. I'm in charge of defending him, anyone can think of this, right?" Yang Muge said.

"That's ......," Draxler thought about it, and it was.

When the players from both sides came out, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge appeared in the TV camera, and the Chinese commentator Duan Xin was very excited: "Zhou Yi and Yang Muge! are the main players of Dortmund and Schalke 04 respectively, and there will be a Chinese derby in the Ruhr area between them!"

This scene has been long-awaited by many Chinese footballers. Since Yang Chen played in Frankfurt in 1998, the wave of large-scale overseas Chinese players began, but even in the most glorious period, the number of Chinese players staying abroad was still very small, and even fewer could have direct dialogue between them.

When Sun Hai was at Manchester City and Littlet was at Everton, he staged a Chinese derby in the Europa League. However, the direct dialogue between the two sides lasted only 24 minutes, and after the opening 24 minutes, Littler was replaced by Everton manager David Moyes due to a recurrence of an old injury, and the Chinese derby came to an abrupt end.

This is the first time that a Chinese derby has been played in Europe.

Half a year later, Manchester City and Everton met again in the Premier League, with Sun Hai and Leeter also starting again and putting in excellent performances, both of whom played the full game. This Chinese derby is also the most well-known. British media reported that about 100 million TV viewers watched the game, and 99 percent of the 100 million TV viewers were from China.

Before this conversation between Zhou Yi and Yang Muge, the match was an insurmountable pinnacle for Chinese players in Europe, so much so that British sports economists at the time even mentioned that it was the most watched game in the history of the Premier League.

The third Chinese derby took place on December 7, 2003, and it was also the last time Sun Hai and Leete met in the league. Both men started and played the full game again. The two teams also played 0:0. Shortly after the game, Leeter was sidelined for 17 months with a serious injury, and the two men never met again in the Circle.

Four years after the fourth Chinese derby, one of the protagonists is still Sun Hai, an evergreen in China's stay abroad, while the other person has been replaced by Zheng Zhi, who joined Charlton. After this game, Charlton was relegated from the Premier League that year, and Sun Hai later left Manchester City. There are no more Chinese in the Premier League, and there is no Chinese derby in the whole of European football.

At that time, the Chinese media frantically reported and hyped the second Chinese derby between Sun Hai and Li Te, and that scene is still in the memory of Duan Xin, a veteran football person. But the concept of the "Chinese Derby" has cooled down for a long time and faded out of many people's memories.

Chinese football has retreated and talents, and Chinese football has fallen into the lowest ebb.

Watching Japanese players and South Korean players mix in European football, how can you not make Chinese fans feel envious and jealous?

The connection between Chinese fans and the Europa League seems to depend entirely on the domestic fans of each giant team, but in fact, there is another way, that is, players from their own countries playing in the Euroleague. It's a feeling that young Chinese fans may not have experienced at all, and it's easy to imagine that there were many Chinese fans waiting to see Yang Chen's latest game news in Frankfurt in the sports news back then.

But since Zhou Yi appeared, that feeling has returned.

Now Yang Muge and Zhou Yi have once again reproduced the Chinese derby in the European League, which has made many old people full of emotion.

"Zhou Yi and Yang Muge are already the absolute main force of their respective teams, and before this game, there was news that Yang Muge will be responsible for defending Zhou Yi in the game. This is the most direct conversation we want to see!"

As he spoke, there was a loud cheer in the stadium of Schalke 04. The DJ on the scene began to broadcast the names of the players, and every Schalke 04 player was cheered, and Yang Muge was no exception.

And every Dortmund player will get an overwhelming boo, with Grosskloitz and Zhou Yi getting the biggest boos. Grosskloitz is a staunch Dortmund supporter and is often provocative and sarcastic about Schalke 04, so it's understandable that he doesn't get popular with Schalke 04 fans.

Zhou Yi can still get so many boos basically because his performance in the previous Ruhr derbies is so good, causing a lot of problems for Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 is considered the biggest threat to his team.

Naturally, we can't be polite to such an enemy.

So in fact, this kind of boo is not a bad thing for Zhou Yi, but a medal of honor.

Commentator Duan Xin also mentioned this when he was commenting. Because many Chinese seem to think that foreigners must smile at the Chinese in order to respect the Chinese, but in fact, if the two sides are enemies, then all attacks from the enemy are the greatest respect for themselves.

And Zhou Yi is the number one enemy of Schalke 04.

※※※

When the game started, the boos against Zhou Yi were even louder. As long as Zhou Yi gets the ball, the boos will be overwhelming.

The big one made Yang Muge a little unbearable. He has played so many games at Schalke 04 and has met all kinds of opponents, as the opponents of Schalke 04, they have also been booed at the Schalke Stadium, but no team can compare with Dortmund, and no one can compare with Zhou Yi.

It seems that the fans of Schalke 04 really don't like Zhou Yi......

In fact, as an opponent, Yang Muge doesn't like Zhou Yi either, because this person is ...... It's so cunning!

Just now, it was clear that Zhou Yi was going to pass the ball to the left, and there were indeed Dortmund players on the left who were responding, and Yang Muge, who was blocking in front of him, shifted his center of gravity to the left slightly.

As a result, Zhou Yi's heel knocked the football in the other direction behind him!

He pounced and then ran to another place, and Dortmund's attack followed him to the other side.

This left Schalke 04's defense on the left flank in vain.

Just move to the other side.

It felt like being led by the nose......
