The news that Zhou Yi was selected for the competition squad spread all over the world almost that night - now is the Internet era, and there is no need to wait for everyone to get up the next day to see the morning newspaper or the morning news to know. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The news was heartening for both Dortmund fans and Zhou Yi's fans.

"Zhou Yi is in the squad! Dortmund has hope to win this game!"

"It's all in the squad, can you still let Zhou Yi sit on the bench for 90 minutes?"

"I think Zhou Yi should be prepared, if Dortmund is really in trouble, then Klopp will definitely send Zhou Yi to play!"

"Regardless of whether he can play or not, I think as long as he is selected for the eighteen-man squad, it means that Zhou Yi's body must have recovered, otherwise it is impossible for him to enter the competition list......"

But some people are not so optimistic: "Whether Zhou Yi has really recovered, who knows? What if Dortmund was forced to let Zhou Yi enter the squad, instead of being decided according to Zhou Yi's physical condition?"

"That is, in such a difficult situation as Dortmund is now, they really need Zhou Yi to boost their morale. But in this way, I am worried about whether Zhou Yi is really recovering......"

The media is also showing a split between the two opinions.

Some media applauded Zhou Yi's comeback, and confidently said that Zhou Yi returned, and Dortmund would definitely win this Ruhr derby. This is dominated by local Dortmund media.

If he really recovers, why didn't he make it to the squad for the game against Arsenal? You know, the game against Arsenal is more important, if Dortmund loses, they will have a problem even qualifying for the group stage...... As a result, he didn't take Zhou Yi with him, and he really lost the game, which proves that Zhou Yi's body has not recovered well, so Klopp doesn't dare to take risks.

But after losing to Arsenal, Dortmund was cornered, so Klopp also had to put Zhou Yi in the squad, on the one hand, to boost morale, on the other hand, there may also be the idea of letting Zhou Yi play with an injury......

But no matter which one it is, Schalke 04 doesn't have to worry about Zhou Yi, even if he plays, Zhou Yi is not in the best state, Schalke 04 can also win this derby.

Zhou Yi's entry into the list is too sensational and eye-catching.

So much so that many people didn't notice another thing - Yan Min did not appear in the squad for this Ruhr derby.

If anyone notices this, they will definitely speculate whether Klopp was dissatisfied with Yan Min's performance in the last Champions League game, so he was put back on the 18-man list......

But now everyone's attention is attracted by Zhou Yi, and naturally no one pays attention to Yan Min. Yan Min is not in the eighteen-man list...... Few people were aware of this before the Ruhr derby began.

※※※

The first Ruhr derby of the season will be the 143rd in history, and the match will be broadcast live from 203 countries around the world, a figure that will set a record for the Ruhr derby.

As the hottest derby in the history of German football, the Ruhr derby has always lived up to its name.

Even the Ruhr derby is known as the "mother of derby" in German football, which shows the status of the Ruhr derby.

It stands to reason that the fan mix of Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 has a lot in common, such as the mining industry in the cities where the two teams are based, the fan mix of the two teams has the same composition, and the clubs have the same football culture, so their relationship should not be so bad.

Why did the Ruhr derby outperform the rest of Germany and become the hottest and most intense derby in Germany?

In fact, it is very simple, two people of the same sex with the same characteristics and the same excellent get together, and the probability of not liking each other is far greater than sympathy. "Same-sex repulsion".

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 are both very good and well-known successful teams in the history of German football.

Borussia Dortmund may be familiar to you, having won the Bundesliga seven times, as well as two pre-Bundesliga national titles, three German Cups, two Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup and one Toyota Cup (now Club World Cup).

Especially in recent years, the league has won three consecutive championships and the Champions League, which can be said to have made them enough to be in the limelight, and their fame has expanded to the whole world.

Schalke 04 has lived a very average life over the years, but it is also a well-known strong team in German football in history. In German football before the establishment of the Bundesliga, in the thirties of the last century, it belonged to Schalke 04. In the decade from 1933 to 1942, Schalke 04 reached a total of 20 finals of 20 national championships and cups, reached at least one final each year, won six national championships and won one cup title, and was the best team in Germany at the time.

At that time, Dortmund was not very conspicuous, and it was completely unable to compete with Schalke 04 in terms of team strength.

Because of the huge difference in the strength of the two teams, although there was a Ruhr derby at that time, it was not very valued. In that period, Schalke 04 once beat Dortmund with big scores of 10:0, 9:0, 7:0 and 6:0, such a huge difference in scores on the one hand shows the difference in strength between the two teams, and on the other hand, it also shows that Dortmund does not care much about the game between them.

It wasn't until 1943 that Dortmund won their first derby win against Schalke 04 with a narrow 1-0 victory – one can imagine how strong and successful Schalke 04 had been before.

In fact, the Ruhr area is not only Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund, not counting those small clubs, the Ruhr area also has many teams in the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, such as Dortmund, Schalke 04, Bochum, Duisburg, Essen Red and White, Oberhausen and Watenscheid. But only the match between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 can be called the "Ruhr derby", on the one hand, because the cities where these two teams are located are the closest to each other, less than thirty kilometers in a straight line. Another reason is that these two teams are two of the strongest in the Ruhr area.

The first all-time clash between the two teams took place in 1934, when Schalke 04 fans, who won the national championship, ran to Dortmund's train station to celebrate, leading to the first heated clash between fans of both teams.

That is, after that halfway point, a very famous slogan was born, which belonged to Dortmund fans: "I'd rather Bayern win the championship 100 times than let Schalke win the cup once!"

This shows how deep the hatred between the two teams is, so the Ruhr derby has also been ridiculed by some Bayern Munich fans as a "nest derby".

Although in the thirties of the last century, Schalke 04 was the best team in Germany, but after the official establishment of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 did not win a Bundesliga championship. On the contrary, it is the Ruhr derby rival Dortmund, who was pressed to the ground and rubbed by them in the past, who are thriving in the Bundesliga. They are by far the team with the most Bundesliga titles other than Bayern Munich. Two Champions League winners, and the most wins by any team in Germany since Bayern Munich. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the most successful team in the Bundesliga other than Bayern Munich.

Feng Shui takes turns, the former Schalke 04 fans ran to Dortmund's turf to celebrate after winning the championship, and now the Dortmund fans have changed their ways to fight back against the Schalke 04 fans.

In the 2006-2007 season, Schalke 04 was at the top of the league table before the game against Borussia Dortmund and had a big advantage. They look as if they are about to break the 50-year league title drought. Schalke 04 have been at the top of the league for more than three months and are one point clear of second-placed Stuttgart before facing Borussia Dortmund, who will have to beat them away if they are to win the title. So the Ruhr derby in the second half of the 2006-2007 season became the center of attention.

At that time, Dortmund was in the middle of the league and should have had no desire. But because this game was the only chance to stop the sworn enemy from winning the championship, the whole Dortmund team was like a chicken blood. In the end, they beat Schalke 04 2-0. shattered Schalke 04's dream of winning the championship.

Schalke 04, who lost the game, was overtaken by Stuttgart and fell to second.

Although they beat Bielefeld 2-1 at home in the final round of the league, Stuttgart also beat Cottage 2-1 at home, so Schalke 04 once again missed out on the league title.

During the final match, Dortmund fans rented a plane and flew over the Schalke Stadium with banners to taunt Schalke 04 with the words: "You will never win the championship!"

Schalke 04 fans celebrated the championship at Dortmund train station, but now they have been taunted by Dortmund fans to lose the title.

It's really emotional......
