Sure enough, just three days before the start of the league, Klopp announced that the team would have a day off. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although it was only one day, it was already a rare opportunity for the Dortmund players to relax.

Zhou Yidu slept at home before getting up, then washed up and went out of the house, leaving for the city of Gelsenkirchen near Dortmund.

Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen are two cities altogether, but they are not far apart. According to Zhou Yi's understanding, in China, these two cities should be two districts of the same city.

But in Germany, these are two cities, close to each other, but there is a lot of grievance.

In addition to going to the competition, Zhou Yi has never taken the initiative to go to Gelsenkirchen, this time because Yang Muge is training there, they met for lunch together, so Zhou Yi simply went to Gelsenkirchen to wait for Yang Muge, lest he rush to Dortmund after training.

For Chinese fans, Schalke 04 is a very familiar name, but the name Gelsenkirchen is slightly unfamiliar. Many people don't even know which city the Schalke 04 team is in, and some even think it's in the city of Schalke.

Schalke 04 is good in Schalke, but Schalke is not a city, but a district. The city where Schalke 04 is located is called Gelsenkirchen, and Schalke is a district of the city.

Because of football, Schalke is famous all over the world, but Gelsenkirchen is not so famous. But in fact, Gelsenkirchen is a famous city in history, because it is a famous coal producing area in Germany. During the heyday of mining, 60 coal mines were put into operation, and numerous blast furnaces, coke ovens and steel plants gave Gelsenkirchen a nickname - the City of a Thousand Fires.

Sounds cool, right?

But now, with the decline of the mining industry, most of the coal mines in Gelsenkirchen have been closed, and the blast furnace chimneys that used to stand everywhere are gone.

Nowhere is the transition of German industry more evident than in industrial cities such as Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund.

Gelsenkirchen had the highest unemployment rate in Germany for a decade, and Dortmund next door was no better.

But now, both cities have been transformed, and a large number of coal miners have disappeared, either retiring or moving to other jobs, such as the service industry.

But the traditional culture of the working class has been perfectly preserved in football.

Football is a working-class sport, and both in Scotland and Germany, miners are the main force of football. The industry can be transformed, but the football culture has been inherited and continued. Even if the people here no longer work in the coal mining industry, their love of football has not changed because of the industrial transformation.

Even after the decline of the coal mining industry, the culture of the working class carried by football became more and more important, and the people of both cities pinned all their nostalgia for the past on football, and football became the best vehicle to prove the glory of these coal workers.

So these two cities are particularly crazy about football, as evidenced by how loyal the fans of Dortmund are in the South Stand, and the fans of Schalke 04 are not far behind, and the largest decibel record holder in European football stadium is the fans of Schalke 04, who cheered collectively of more than 60,000 fans after the team scored in a match in 2007 with a whopping 129 decibels.

Because of this, the hottest derby in German football is not the Munich derby between Bayern Munich and Munich 1860, nor the German national derby between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, but the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04. This derby is even a famous and hot derby in world football.

Because the two cities are so close in terms of geography and culture of the fan class.

Zhou Yi came to Gelsenkirchen by car from Dortmund, and from the city itself, he didn't think there was any difference between the two cities, but after coming to Gelsenkirchen, he obviously saw much more blue and white than in Dortmund, and in Dortmund, he most often saw yellow and black.

This difference reminded Zhou Yi that he was in a city that was an enemy of Dortmund, and he had to be careful not to be recognized by the opposing fans, so he took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.

However, Zhou Yi is obviously too worried, even in the Schalke district of Gelsenkirchen, no one recognizes Zhou Yilai at all, and the people here are more concerned about Schalke 04 and disdain Dortmund's players.

Zhou Yi wore sunglasses other than to make the sunlight reflected on the ground less dazzling.

In the agreed restaurant, Zhou Yi had just sat down for less than ten minutes when he saw Yang Muge pushing the door in, and then looking around.

"Here!" Zhou Yi raised his hand and greeted, Yang Muge followed the prestige, and he smiled after seeing Zhou Yi.

"It's really a big star. Yang Muge walked over and sat opposite Zhou Yi and said, "When you go out, you have to dress up in disguise and wear a pair of sunglasses......

"Where!" Zhou Yi hurriedly waved his hand, took off his sunglasses, and said with a serious expression. "I'm afraid of being beaten! This is an 'enemy-occupied zone'!"

"Then should I send you to the public security organs?" Yang Muge said with a stiff face.

"Lao Yang, I believe you are not the kind of person who sells his friends to seek glory!" Zhou Yi said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

Yang Muge didn't hold back, smiled, and then looked Zhou Yi up and down: "Well, it's dark, it's strong." ”

"From the change in my appearance, you know what kind of life I've been living during this time, right? It's hell!" Zhou Yi lay on the table and wailed.

"I've heard that Jurgen Klopp is a manager who is particularly demanding in his training......"

"It's not strict? It's just strict! I'll tell you, do you know how we train? Three times a day, three times! And every day!" Zhou Yi complained.

Hearing "three practices a day", Yang Muge was also moved - such training intensity, whether it is in the first team or the youth team of Schalke 04, there is no such intensity.

"It's not easy to be a professional player, Zhou Yi. ”

"Yes, yes. Eh, how are you, how long will it take to get to the first team?" Zhou Yi asked.

'I've just been to the Under-19s and it's still early for me to ...... first team'

"Then what do you think? You always have a position for yourself, right? In the U19, how do you think you are strong?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I played a few warm-up games and it felt good. My task is relatively simple, which is to intercept in the midfield, unlike you, who is responsible for organising the attack. ”

"Hi, your job isn't easy either. Defending is a tough job. Since training under Jurgen Klopp, Zhou Yi has become aware of the difficulty and importance of defence. Jurgen Klopp demanded that every player, whether striker or midfielder, be involved in defending. So players like Zhou Yi, who didn't defend at all before, had to start participating in defense on the court, and he felt very deeply, and defense was much more difficult than he had imagined.

The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and a waiter came, holding two menus in his hands: "Excuse me, two gentlemen, what do you want to eat?"

The two of them remembered that they hadn't ordered food yet, and as soon as they came in, they patronized and chatted!

Zhou Yi patted his head, and then smiled.

Yang Muge also smiled, took the menu, and then gave Zhou Yi a copy.

The two of them quickly chose what they wanted to eat on the menu, in fact, it didn't matter what they ate, they got together mainly to chat, as long as they could fill their stomachs and taste the past.

quickly ordered a good meal, sent the waiter away, and the two chatted again.

"You see, the waiters didn't even recognize you, so you don't have to worry about getting beaten. Yang Muge teased.

Zhou Yi grinned: "I found that after you came to Germany, Lao Yang, you have changed a lot." You like to stick knives now......"

Yang Muge said with a smile: "Who made you the best of the five of us now, the tree is very popular, if you don't be a target, who will do it?"

Yang Muge's talk of this made Zhou Yi interested: "By the way, how are they?"

"My grandson is at Chelsea, you know?"

"Well, I know. Zhou Yi nodded.

'He's still in the Under-17s, but he's already playing in the Under-17s. However, it is difficult for him to play in the first team, not to mention that the main goalkeeper of the first team is Cech, and the issue of labor certification is a hurdle that he cannot avoid. ”

"That's right...... So I don't recommend him to go to a Premier League club. What about Lao Guo?"

"Lao Guo also played in Inter Milan's U18. ”

"He speaks Italian...... Still stuttering?" Zhou Yi muttered as he touched his chin.

"Black Lao Guo again. Yang Muge covered his mouth and smiled.

"No, no, no......" Zhou Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean to." ”

Yang Muge nodded and smiled: "I know you didn't mean it, you are completely subconsciously black, and it is a conditioned reflex to hear the name Lao Guo." ”

"Okay, let's not mention this, what about He Ying?"

Yang Muge spread his hands: "I am not very familiar with He Ying, so I don't know his current situation very well. However, when he first went to La Masia, there were still domestic media to report for a while, and it was said that his performance was very good, and he was unanimously recognized by the coach of La Masia. ”

"Normally, he's a very talented person. If he continues to stay in the country, it is not good, and domestic football will not help his progress much. Zhou Yi nodded and analyzed. "It's good to go to La Masia, but I don't know how long it will take him to play in the first team, his problems are similar to Sun Pan's, there are too many stars in the first team, and the competition is too fierce......"

"So among us, you alone have been promoted to the first team, who should you not be targeted?"

"Hey, why did it turn to me again?" Zhou Yi protested, and he immediately changed the subject again. "By the way, Lao Yang, do you usually go on Q a lot?"

"Not much, I'm not a big fan of web chat. ”

"Oh, actually, I don't really like it either. But I think we are abroad, what is more convenient, fast and cheaper contact information than QQ? Calls can only be one-to-one, not one-to-many. So I was thinking just now, why don't we set up a group and pull them all in, so that we can keep in touch for a long time, so that we don't even know what is going on with everyone. If there is anything, I can also help with ideas. What do you think?"

Yang Muge thought about it seriously, and then nodded: "I'm fine." ”

"yes, I've thought about it. The two of us are close, and we can see each other from time to time, but we can't see each other too often, you and I have to train, don't we? But if it's in a group, even if it's not online at the time, if I say something, you can still see it after you go online, and it's good to talk about things and chat about nothing. ”

Yang Muge nodded again and again, he had been persuaded by Zhou Yi.

"That's the explanation, I'll set up a group when I go back, do you have their QQ number?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I have. I'll build it. Yang Muge said.

"It's fine. ”

As he was talking, the food was served, and Zhou Yi took the cup with juice: "Come, cheers for our reunion on the Internet!"

"Cheers. Yang Muge also picked up the glass, and the two cups lightly collided together, making a crisp sound.
