Chapter 193: The Atmosphere Has Changed
On April 24, the whole European football world is discussing two things, one is that Bayern Munich destroyed Barcelona 4-0 at home, does this mean that the era of Barcelona's Cosmos team is over?
The second thing is that Dortmund fans are besieging the Dortmund team bus because they are dissatisfied with Gotze's choice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These two things are discussed together and are constantly linked by the media.
Some experts believe that the past April 23 may be a turning point for German football, which means that Dortmund's dominance of German football for two consecutive seasons will come to an end, and German football will get back on track after temporarily deviating from course for two years.
And Bayern Munich will solve their worries after completing the purge of Dortmund, the "rebel", in Germany, and then start their terrible domination of European football. Think of Bayern Munich next season, with Borussia Dortmund's core talent Gotze and talented coach Pep Guardiola from Barcelona...... The picture is so beautiful that people dare not look at it.
The only problem may be that Heynckes has left Guardiola with too high a bar - Bayern Munich is very likely to win the treble this season, and if Guardiola wants to build his dynasty at Bayern Munich, he will at least need the treble, or even the six crowns he created in Barcelona that year.
However, it is believed that for Pep Guardiola and the mighty Bayern Munich, this is not a problem......
As for Borussia Dortmund, although the Champions League semifinals have not yet begun, they have already been classified as "losers" by public opinion.
They will lose at home to Real Madrid tonight and will be beaten by Bayern Munich at the same stadium in 10 days' time, losing their last hope of winning the league title.

"Zhou Yi is right, we have really become 'mourning soldiers'. In the afternoon, Klopp was scrolling through the news with his tablet in his hand. "Even Matthias wrote about worrying about our future. ”
His full name is Matthias Dyce, and as a reporter for the Ruhr News and editor-in-chief of the Dortmund edition, he has a good relationship with many people in the team, and he often uses this relationship to publish some exclusive news reports. Of course, he is also a loyal supporter of Borussia Dortmund at all times, responsible for cheering for Dortmund in the media, or speaking for Dortmund and saying things that are inconvenient for them to say.
Such staunch supporters of Dortmund are now writing in the Ruhr News newspaper expressing their concerns about the evening's game:
“...... The whole world is touting Bayern Munich's four-goal win over Barcelona last night, while hyping up the infighting among our fans and the team...... I'm really, really worried about how much fighting the team still has in this atmosphere, how much attention does the players have to focus on the game itself? I really want to call for unity, the more we need to be united at this time, but for the first time I feel powerless about my own strength. Because the words that call for unity now are useless in today's abnormal atmosphere...... It is said that during the evening game, the South Stand will line with banners and slogans against Götze. I understand the anger of the fans over Götze's choice, and to be honest, I was also very bitter and disappointed when I heard the news, but what the fans are doing now is only pushing the team into the abyss step by step, and there is no point in venting their emotions senselessly......"
"Real Madrid supporters must be happy right now. Klopp said.
"You're right, Jurgen. Today's official account of the newspaper Marca made statements on Twitter and Facebook that they were expecting a victory for Real Madrid. Kravitz said. "In a poll conducted online today by the newspaper As, called predicting the outcome of the match, 78 percent of people voted for Real Madrid to win. ”
"It doesn't sound too bad because there are still 22 percent of people who think we're going to win. Klopp laughed to himself.
"No, only 12 percent think we're going to win, and 10 percent think we're going to get a draw. Kravitz added.
Klopp could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands.
"I think that's good news for us. Assistant coach Gerlico Bouácz mused, "I've been thinking about the 'mourning theory' that Zhou Yi said in the morning, and we can make a big fuss about this. But time is running out for us, the pre-match speech in the dressing room is key, Jurgen, you have to use your words to the fullest and get all the players emotional. As Zhou Yi said, if they don't want to win, then it's useless for us to do anything. But if they want to win, it's a great chance to fight back!"
"You have a point, Gerlico. Klopp nodded. "But about the pre-match speech...... Actually, I have a better candidate than me......"

In the evening, when the bus of the whole Dortmund team arrived at the West** stadium, there was already more police force than usual to maintain order in that place, and reporters could usually stand behind the wall of police officers, throw their questions to the players who got off the bus, and use the camera to get a better shooting angle.
Overall, they were only one man away from the players.
But now, the police are not only using human walls, but also interception props such as horse rejection to isolate the crowd from a distance.
A reporter joked: "It's really an exaggeration, I thought it was the Pope of the Vatican......"
"It is impossible for the Pope to have this kind of scene when he comes, I think it is almost ...... the president of the United States."
Speaking of the president of the United States, the two reporters laughed tacitly.
The most powerful man on the planet is very good at pomp, the last time he visited Germany, he transported all the equipment and vehicles of the entire guard team, and the German security department could only be responsible for opening the way, and all other security work was taken care of by the American side.
The President of the United States does need such tight security.
So why do you need it?
This is reminiscent of what happened yesterday outside the gates of the Braquel training base.
Because of the developed media, that scene had already spread all over Germany and even the world. Everyone could see hundreds of Dortmund fans holding signs and chanting slogans, standing in front of the Dortmund bus and forcing it to stop.
In the end, Dortmund had to come out with three people to appease, but it was still difficult to calm the fans' anger. It took ten minutes before they stepped back and made way for them.
As for why they got out of the way...... It doesn't matter, and the media won't report it, after all, what Zhou Yi said slapped them in the face of the media......
Seeing Dortmund's frightened appearance, many media reporters pouted - from this scene can predict Dortmund's defeat tonight......
The fans have always been the backbone of Dortmund, and they also had a very close relationship with the fans when Dortmund had the worst results and the club was on the verge of bankruptcy. It can be said that the fans are the source of Dortmund's strength.
But now, for security reasons, the police have completely separated the Dortmund team from the fans, and have also adopted the use of a horse rejection used only to deal with violent demonstrators, which appeared on the sidelines of a football match, which is very abrupt and glaring.
It seems to indicate that there has been an ugly rift in the intimate relationship between the team and the fans.
Then think of the rumors that there are extremist fan groups that are going to protest Götze with slogans, banners or TIFOs during the game......
Dortmund, who have lost the support of their fans, how can they win in the face of Real Madrid, who vow revenge like a wolf?

When the players on both sides were warming up, when Götze appeared a little closer to the south stand, there was a burst of boos from the south stand, which was very obvious and harsh.
Nothing like this has ever happened before. If there is a boo, it is also against Dortmund rivals such as Schalke 04 or Bayern Munich, and it is not easy for Real Madrid to enjoy such treatment.
But Gotze enjoyed.
In the midst of the boos, Gotze kept his head down, didn't say a word, didn't respond in any way, and he didn't even look up at the fans in the stands who booed him.
From the moment he made his decision, he knew what he was going to face, but since the decision was made, it was useless to regret it now.
Live DJ Norbert Dicker saw this scene on the sidelines and sighed helplessly.
What a good situation...... Tonight was going to be ruined before his eyes.
It is not only the hope of winning the Champions League, but also the future of this team.
The atmosphere had changed, and Gotze's departure was like a stab in the heart of Dortmund.
The kind of heart-rending person who loves Dortmund more deeply becomes more painful and desperate.
The Real Madrid players who are also warming up will stop and look at the Dortmund players' home half with interest on the way to the warm-up, and enjoy the scene in front of them.
Seeing the atmosphere, they are more and more convinced that they can beat Borussia Dortmund on the road. The only suspense is to win a few goals......
※※※
Soon, everyone finished their warm-up and left the court. Götze left very quickly, almost trotting all the way into the players' tunnel.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still unwilling to stay on the court for even a second and bear the boos from the fans. Many of these people who booed him were the ones who cheered for him in the first place.
This contrast made him particularly uncomfortable.
When everyone was back in the locker room, the door was closed, and with it the hustle and bustle outside.
The players started to change out of the clothes they wore during the warm-up, with the starting players directly changing into their jerseys and the substitutes putting on their jackets.
Some people are busy stuffing shin pads into their socks, others are taping their ankles, others are checking that the spikes of their sneakers are secure......
Klopp pushed the door in, then closed it again, and no one looked up at him.
Klopp watched in the dressing room for a while, and after seeing that everyone was almost busy with things, he slapped the slap and drew everyone's attention to him.
'There's ten minutes left and the game is about to start. Before the game begins, as is customary, I would like to say a few words to you. Klopp said. "But today I changed my mind, and I wanted someone else to say these things in my place, because I felt he spoke better than I did. ”
Everyone couldn't help but set their eyes on assistant coach Bwach, and in their minds, the person who is qualified to speak on behalf of the head coach can obviously only be the assistant coach.
But Klopp waved his hand and pointed at Zhou Yi, who was sitting in his place.
"Come on, Zhou Yi, say a few words to your teammates!"
Everyone was stunned, including Zhou Yi himself. (To be continued.) )
