Chapter 233: A Taste of the First Shot in Westphalia

Jurgen Klopp is used to announcing his starting line-up in the dressing room of the pitch, so until then, no one knows who will start. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The timing of the announcement of the starting line-up by the football coach is not the same, and some, like Jurgen Klopp, do not announce it until the last minute. Some coaches are accustomed to telling their players a day in advance who he will start.

There are pros and cons to both approaches, but each has its own reasons. So there's no such thing as a better approach.

Even though it was a home game, the players still had to leave the hotel a day earlier. It's easier to manage – if the players are all going home, who knows what they're going to do at night?

This is not good for management, especially abstinence. Even if these players stay at home honestly and don't go clubbing, if they have a few more rounds with their wives and girlfriends at night, they may become hollow turnips and weak feet in tomorrow's game.

On the day of the game, the players rushed to the playing field in groups called buses.

The Dortmund fans went earlier than the players, they had to set up the stadium, and the huge tifos and banners needed to be installed in advance.

When Daddy Bruno took his men to the South Stand, they hung a banner on the turf of their Black Gold fan group.

The banner had a huge line of words written on it: "Zhou Yi!

They are not only here to cheer for Dortmund, but also to cheer for Zhou Yi.

Mark's parents are also helping out with Mark.

After all this, the players of both sides began to warm up.

"Look! he's out!"

Mark was sharp-eyed and first discovered his friend Zhou Yi.

"Hmm...... I was still looking around during the warm-up, and I didn't look nervous at all!" said Mark's mother, Mrs. Wagner, approvingly.

"Mom, he's the one who came off the bench to help the team win, what's there to be nervous about warming up?" Mark thought his mother was so strange.

"What do you kid know? Where is this? This is West! Can you play here the same way as you play in the country?" Mrs. Wagner taught her son.

"Daddy" Bruno said on the side: "Your mother is right, Mark. Playing at West**** is definitely an experience like no other. But ......," he said. "I don't think even if he plays here, Zhou Yi won't be nervous because of this. Because he's a different person. ”

Zhou Yi was indeed looking around when he was warming up on the court, and a pair of eyes scanned West**** into his mind, the stands were not full of people, but the momentum had already taken shape.

Especially in the South Stand, where the fans are most densely populated.

Zhou Yi thought that he could only stand there and watch the game before, but now he was standing in the middle of the court and being watched by the people there.

He set his sights on the area where he had been standing beforeβ€”the fourteenth row. It is slightly higher than the 16-metre-high barbed wire wall in front of the South Stand, with excellent views.

Sure enough, he saw a group of people there, and it was "Daddy" them!

Because Dortmund was in this half of the stadium below the South Stand when they warmed up, the distance was so close that Zhou Yi could even see the expressions on their faces clearly.

It's nice that they're all here.

After finishing the warm-up, Zhou Yi walked back to the locker room with his teammates, but he was stopped halfway.

The person who stopped him, Zhou Yi, also knew Norbert Dicker, the live announcer of West**** Stadium.

"Hi, Zhou Yi. Dicker called Zhou Yi to the side of the passage and did not disturb the passage of others. "I have a question for you. ”

"You say, Mr. Dicker. ”

"Nobby. You know, I'm going to read the player list for a while, but I've never pronounced the Chinese name before, so I want to ask you, according to our traditional habits, the first name is in front of the surname, such as me Norbert Dicker, Norbert is my name, Dicker is my surname, I will pronounce Norbert first, and then the fans will call Dicker. But Chinese is not quite the same as us...... I call you 'Zhou Yi', but Zhou isn't your name, right?"

"Yes. Zhou Yi nodded.

"Then do I pronounce 'Yi Zhou' backwards according to our habit, or do I?"

"This, called 'Yi Zhou', I always feel that it will be called someone else. Nobby, if you call me like that. Zhou Yi said.

"That means according to your Chinese traditions?" Dicker confirmed.

"Yes, I listen to it. Zhou Yi said.

"Oh, yes!" Dicker nodded.

"That's right, Nobby. Does this mean that I am in the starting lineup?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked, catching Dicker off guard, he looked at Zhou Yi with some surprise, and then quickly shook his head.

"No, you're thinking too much, Zhou Yi. I'm just doing my homework, just in case. I'm a serious broadcaster, haha!"

Although Zhou Yi was not able to inquire from Dicker whether he was a starter, Zhou Yi also knew that it would not be long before he knew the answer to this question.

After returning to the dressing room after the warm-up, Klopp was about to announce his starters.

Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun sat in front of the TV, with two cups of tea on the coffee table.

The TV has been turned on, and the picture has cut from the stadium of West**** back to the back studio in Beijing.

Commentator Duan Xin and guest Tao Wei looked at each other and smiled, and then Duan Xin said: "It's time for me to care most about everyone - the starting list! Yes, we have already got the starting list of both sides in this game." ”

Zhou Jianliang straightened his back.

"It's coming, it's coming!" he said, looking excited.

"I can tell you first, Zhou Yi...... who everyone cares about the most" Duan Xin paused, "It's the start!"

"Ahh

"What's so exciting about this?" Li Cuiyun complained about his rules next to him, "He performed so well in the last game, shouldn't he be the starter?"

"Alas, you don't understand. Football is not so simple......" Zhou Jianliang didn't know how to explain to his wife, and he couldn't say it clearly.

"You just love to think too complicated!" Li Cuiyun countered.

Zhou Jianliang opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, because if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. Just like buying a football lottery, when he, a professional fan, thinks too much, he often can't buy it at all......

Today is matchday, not just in the Bundesliga, but in the whole of European football. The Barcelona first team match is also today.

So this afternoon, La Masia didn't have any training scheduled. The young players can go home and watch Barcelona away to Deportivo La Coruna on TV.

He Ying was in the dormitory watching the game. But instead of watching the Barcelona game, he watched the league games between Dortmund and Nuremberg.

He didn't get to see it in the last Zhou Yi game, and he didn't want to miss it this time. Just listening to Zhou Yi, it's still not intuitive enough, he wants to watch, see with his own eyes how Zhou Yi plays, so as to give himself a reference.

In Schalke, Germany, Yang Muge was not selected in the Schalke 04U19 squad and stayed at home. Julian Draxler also regrets Yang Muge. But Yang Muge in turn comforted Draxler, saying that he should also take a break after starting several games in a row.

The real reason why he doesn't regret it is that he can watch the Bundesliga live at home instead of listening to the radio on the way back like he did in the last game.

Naturally, the game he is focusing on is not Schalke 04's home game against Hertha Berlin, but Dortmund's home game against Nuremberg.

At the same time, in London, England, and Milan, Italy, there are also eyes on the TV screen of the match between Dortmund and Nuremberg......

Zhou Yi's game affected not only his parents and domestic fans, but also his companions in Europe.

β€» β€» β€»

In the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp also announced his starting line-up for his players.

Zhou Yi was really among them.

In fact, his teammates were not surprised that Zhou Yi would start, after all, everyone watched his performance in the last game, since Shahin was injured, why couldn't Zhou Yi start?

It would be strange if Zhou Yi didn't start.

Grosskloitz touched Zhou Yi and winked at him.

And Gotze, who also made the squad, was not able to start......

After announcing the starting line-up, Klopp made a request for the team for this game.

β€œ...... I don't want to see you like in the last game, when you were ahead early and then you were passive. This time we are playing at home, don't give the opponent any respite!

When he said this, he glanced at Zhou Yi.

Controlling the situation is actually for Zhou Yi to hear, because this is Zhou Yi's responsibility.

In this game, because Shaheen could not play, Zhou Yi, who replaced him, was a forward midfielder, so Klopp made some adjustments to the team.

Sven Bender and captain Kyle were the midfielders for the game, while Zhou Yi and Grosskloitz and Kuba lined up in front of the two of them, with Zhou Yi in the middle and the other two on the left and right.

And the person at the top is Barrios.

Zidan was put on the bench for this game and was not able to start. The Egyptian instead became a victim of Zhou Yi's start - Klopp had always played 442 before, and this game was changed to 4231 because Zhou Yi wanted to start.

This is also because Zhou Yi's defensive ability is insufficient, and the defensive hardness of the midfield must be guaranteed.

β€» β€» β€»

When the game was about to start, Zhou Yi and his teammates stood in the passage, waiting for the referee to take them out.

At this time, outside in the stadium, Norbert Darker was leading the fans to read aloud the starting list for the game.

"Romanβ€”β€”!" he shouted in a lengthened voice.

Then the fans shouted: "Weidenfeller!!"

At the same time, information such as Weidenfeller's photo, number, location and name was also displayed on the big screen.

Just report it one by one.

When reporting to Bend, "Daddy" Bruno said excitedly: "It's almost coming!"

Sure enough, Norbert DiCole then shouted, "β€”β€”!! Zhou."

"Easy !!"

Bruno, Mark's parents, Mark, they all shouted at the top of their lungs, almost hoarse.

The shouts of the fans were also clearly transmitted to the players' tunnel.

The wild cry of "Zhou Yi!" made Zhou Yi hear that all the pores in his body were opened, as if a burst of electricity was rushing up from the ground through his feet, and finally rose to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle!

He couldn't help but snort.

Just one feeling - cool!

That's what it's like to play at West**** Stadium!

Even though he hasn't started playing yet......

But he can't wait to get the game started.

He feels that his dream is coming true step by step, and in the process of realizing it, there are always many memories that are worth cherishing for a lifetime.

For example, this first appearance in West****.

This is the first time to celebrate and commemorate!

β€» β€» β€»

When the "You will never walk alone" chant in the South Stand died down, players from both sides came out.

Zhou Yi followed behind Grosskloitz, and as the large group moved forward, more than ten seconds later, he finally stepped on the turf of West's **** court.

"Look! It's our son!" Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV said excitedly pointing to the TV screen.

At the same time, in front of countless TVs and computer screens in China, there are countless fans who are as excited as Zhou Jianliang.

Finally, Zhou Yi is the first to start!

And it was also a starter at West**** Stadium!

This is a very happy moment for those Chinese fans who are also Dortmund fans themselves.
