"What?!Match postponed?!"

When Benitez heard the news from his assistant, he refused inwardly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Similarly, in the Arsenal dugout, Arsene Wenger looked at his assistant coach with a look of disbelief.

At the same time, they learned about Istanbul.

It was so unexpected.

Before that, they didn't think about what the key battle of this group would be, and they had also thought about who would qualify and who would go out. But no matter what they thought, no one thought that the match between Dortmund and Galatasaray would end before it was finished!

This sudden news caught everyone off guard.

UEFA has already issued a notice that the match between Dortmund and Galatasaray has been postponed until tomorrow afternoon, and the score is now tentatively fixed at 0:1, with Dortmund leading away.

But who knows what will happen to the two teams after this night?

Dortmund was in good shape, but now it has been extinguished by heavy snow in Istanbul.

Will Dortmund be able to take the initiative after the replay begins, or will Galatasaray be able to sweep away the first 31 minutes and fight for dignity at home?

A different outcome of this match will inevitably lead to the fate of both teams in the other match.

Originally, this fate could have been decided at the same time.

Now it's going to be postponed.

"Don't worry about that over there. Regardless of how Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray play, we have to beat Arsenal by more than three goals at home. But we haven't scored so far, so we have to work hard!' said Benitez.

Almost the same words were also uttered by Arsene Wenger: "...... The safest thing to do is always not to lose. It doesn't matter to us whether they postpone it or not. ”

So then, both teams on the field began to exert their strength at the same time.

For Arsenal and Napoli, the postponement of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray has not yet affected them very much, they just need to do what they do.

But for Dortmund, it's a big problem.

After it was confirmed that the game would be postponed, the Dortmund players began to take a shower and change their clothes.

And the staff of the Dortmund club are busy with a pot of porridge.

Because they had already vacated their hotel rooms and were ready to finish the game, they flew back to Germany as a plane.

They've always done that, leaving the game straight away from home to give the players an extra day off.

But who would have thought that the match would be postponed and that they would have to stay in Istanbul for another day?

So they had to find a new hotel.

Finding a hotel that can accommodate more than 20 people in one go is not so easy, especially on this snowy night, with a lot of flights delayed or cancelled, and those stranded in Istanbul will of course have to find a place to stay.

The hotel suddenly became tense.

In order to be able to book a hotel, the Dortmund Club is running at high speed.

Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, will have to consider how the postponement of this tournament will affect the team and how to eliminate it. In addition, the game was postponed by one day, and Dortmund will go back a day late, which is not as simple as one less rest for the whole team, but an unexpected forced change in this series of plans.

Borussia Dortmund won the Champions League last season, so they have to play in the Club World Cup next.

After returning home for the 16th round of the league, they will have to travel to Morocco for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, where they will face Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande, who have just won the AFC Champions League.

Time is actually very short, and even if this game is not postponed, there is not much time for Dortmund.

The Champions League match was originally played on the night of the 11th, but now it has been postponed to the 12th, and the 16th round of the league between Dortmund and Hoffenheim is on the afternoon of the 14th, while the semi-final of the Club World Cup is on the evening of the 17th......

And the game between Dortmund and Hoffenheim is still away, which means that during this time, Dortmund has to run around, running from one place to another.

Jurgen Klopp had to rethink his training arrangements and his team's fitness plans. He took advantage of the time to gather the coaching staff for an emergency meeting outside the locker room.

In the locker room, the players have already showered and changed their clothes, but they are asked to stay in the locker room, because the hotel has not yet been decided, even if they go out and get on the bus, they don't know where to go, it is better to rest in the locker room.

The players got together and discussed something special about this game.

"It's the first time I've ever encountered something like this when I've been postponed halfway through the game......" Grosskreutz sighed. "What about you, Zhou Yi?"

"Of course it's my first time, I haven't had a long career, Grand Cross. Zhou Yi said.

"Our luck was so bad. If it hadn't been for the snowfall, I'd say we'd have finished the first half with a two-goal lead!' Aubameyang complained. He felt good in this game, although he hadn't scored yet, he was convinced that he would definitely score, and that feeling was so strong. As a result, his feelings were interrupted by heavy snow.

Most of Borussia Dortmund's players were frustrated with the result.

There are even those who see this as a bad omen and a sign that Borussia Dortmund may not get the result they want away from home.

Words like "bad luck", "bad signs" and "bad omen" appear frequently in the locker room.

The atmosphere of the team that was still high in morale changed all of a sudden.

This change is obvious, Zhou Yi feels it, and he feels that compared with the postponement of the game and the heavy snow and hail, this is what worries him more.

So he got up from his seat, slapped his face, and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

The other players all turned their heads to look at him, and when they saw that Zhou Yi seemed to have something to say, they closed their mouths very cooperatively.

Although Zhou Yi is young, he is also a "veteran" in this Dortmund team, coupled with his performance in the game, his prestige in the team is still very high.

"I have some different opinions, and I don't think it's a bad omen. Zhou Yi got straight to the point and said without beating around the bush. 'Of course, postponing the game now would interrupt our good form. But are we the kind of team that loses if we are interrupted once?"

Zhou Yi asked everyone rhetorically.

'We are the defending champions, we had so many difficulties last season, but we were the winners. So it's just a game that's postponed because of the weather, how much of an impact can it have on us?"

Zhou Yi wanted to continue to persuade his teammates, but Grosskreutz suddenly jumped up and echoed Zhou Yi loudly in a very affirmative tone: "That's right! The wizards have spoken, what else do we have to worry about!"

As soon as he said this, his teammates in the locker room showed "suddenly realized" expressions, and then they all nodded in agreement with Grosskreutz's statement.

"That's it, the wizard said we would win, then we will win!"

"Yes, the wizard's words worked!"

......

Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhou Yi was really a little crying and laughing - he just wanted to use his words to boost the morale of the team, but he didn't expect his teammates to interpret his words like this.

But it's okay, as long as you don't dwell on what "bad luck" or "bad omen" are.

Anyway, what he wants is the result, and it doesn't matter how to achieve it.

Yan Min had heard of Zhou Yi's nickname "Wizard" before, but this was the first time he had experienced the power of this nickname up close. He was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the players of Dortmund to trust Zhou Yi so much, and even a little superstitious. Zhou Yi said a word casually, which could make everyone settle down and turn the atmosphere in the locker room in one fell swoop.

It's hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes.

In the past, Yan Min always thought that "Wizard" was just a nickname given to Zhou Yi by his teammates, a sign of intimacy, or it was a nickname given to Zhou Yi by the media, with no specific meaning, just cool.

Now that he saw it, he realized that his previous thoughts were all wrong. At the very least, these Dortmund players really believe that Zhou Yi has mysterious abilities from the East......

When Klopp and the others finished their meeting, there was good news from the hotel, the club had finally booked a hotel for them, and they could now go.

So assistant coach Bwach returned to the locker room and beckoned everyone to take the bus.

By this time, it was already 11 o'clock local time, and the players were actually very tired and couldn't wait to get out of here, go back to the warm hotel room, and then take a hot shower, get a good night's sleep, and recharge for tomorrow's make-up game.

But things didn't go as smoothly as they thought.

As soon as the buses left the stadium, they were congested all over the city - the bad weather paralyzed the traffic in Istanbul.

The bus was so blocked that it was impossible to move, and it was difficult to move an inch.

The journey back to the hotel was incredibly long.

The delay in returning to the hotel made the exhausted players very depressed.

The efforts made by Zhou Yi in the locker room just now seemed to have lost their effect.

The dark cloud of "bad omen" is back over everyone's heads.

At first, everyone would still complain, but in the end, there was no complaining, and the players were so tired that they fell asleep directly in the car, and there was a lot of snoring in the carriage.

Klopp couldn't sleep, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already 0:30, they were still stuck in traffic, and they didn't know when they would be able to go back to the hotel to rest.

Listen to the snoring of the players and look at the dense brake lights in front of the road.

Klopp sighed inwardly, this game day night was too long......
