When Mark and Zhou Yi finished their day's training and got in their father's car and returned home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mark found an envelope in the passenger seat.

In the past, there was nothing clean here, and their training backpacks were all in the trunk of the car.

"What is this, Daddy?" asked Mark curiously.

"Let's open it and take a look. "Old Wagner did not explain, but said.

Mark opened the envelope, and what appeared in front of him was a set of four tickets.

"It's ......," Mark didn't understand.

"Tomorrow night, we're going to watch Borussia Dortmund play Werder Bremen at home. The elder Wagner replied simply to his son as he drove.

Mark was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly screamed, startling Zhou Yi next to him.

Just when Zhou Yi looked at Mark strangely, Mark's eyes were about to overflow with tears, and he said excitedly to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, I'm going to the South Stand to watch the game!"

Only then did Zhou Yi understand: "West's ****...... South Stand?"

Mark nodded vigorously, but he was speechless with excitement, and then tears welled up in his eyes and down his cheeks.

Zhou Yi was still frightened by Mark, and just went to watch a game on the spot...... As for it?

Back home, Mrs. Wagner confirmed the news to Mark and Zhou Yi and told Zhou Yi that he was going too.

"Got my ticket?"

Mrs. Wagner held up the four midweek tickets: "This was originally our family of four, and not long after Cortana was born, we registered her as a member of the Dortmund Club, and we buy a package in her name every year. But alas, Cortana doesn't seem to like football. She was only taken to the South Stand to watch the game when she was very young, and then when she grew up and sensible, she never went again. ”

Zhou Yi thought of Cortana's appearance and felt that she was indeed the one who did this kind of thing.

"So you're using a Cortana package. ”

"But...... This is her name, can I use it too?" Zhou Yi asked, pointing to the package.

"Absolutely, the tickets purchased in the package are transferable. Mrs. Wagner explained. "But in fact, very few people will transfer tickets, even if they can't go because of something, they won't easily transfer South Stand billiards tickets. You know, it's a ticket to the South Stand!"

Speaking of the South Stand, Mrs. Wagner spoke proudly.

The south stand of West**** Stadium, as a fan, Zhou Yi has also been famous for a long time. But all along, he only learned about the grandstand through news reports, knowing that it was a gathering place for Dortmund die-hard fans, and the hot atmosphere there was an important factor in West's **** being able to become the home of the devils.

Zhou Yi didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to go to the South Stand to watch the game, this should be the highest courtesy that a Dortmund fan can give himself, right?

The south stand of the West**** Stadium is not a place where you can go if you want to.

※ ※ ※

The next day, the Dortmund youth only had half a day of training, which is also normal, not every day is two training days.

Today's training is scheduled for the morning.

After the morning training, Zhou Yi did not practice for half an hour for the first time, but went home with Mark.

They had to hurry up and finish their lunch and then go to the stadium together to watch the game.

The match is a Bundesliga match with Dortmund hosting Werder Bremen.

If it had been six or seven years ago, the two teams would have met and could have been a strong conversation. At the time, Borussia Dortmund had just won the league title every two years, while Werder Bremen were competing for the league title.

Now, Werder Bremen have fallen a bit badly, finishing 11th so far this season.

And Dortmund are not very high in the ranking, ranking ninth.

But this match can be regarded as a contest between direct rivals. With only four points separating the two teams, Werder Bremen will be close in the table if they can beat Borussia Dortmund away, while Borussia Dortmund can beat Werder Bremen to move up the league table.

So this game is also a high-profile game.

Especially in the minds of Borussia Dortmund fans.

The Mark family and Zhou Yi, who went to watch the game, did not choose to drive, because Mrs. Wagner said that on the game day, the roads around the stadium were very congested, and if you drive, you will not be able to return home for a long time, and the best way is to choose public transportation and take the train.

Zhou Yi doesn't care, he also wants to experience how ordinary Dortmund fans go to the game. He's been at Dortmund for so long, and it's the first time he's gone to see them at home.

Regarding this, Mrs. Wagner also explained to Zhou Yi, in fact, it stands to reason that when Zhou Yi first arrived at their house, they should have taken Zhou Yi to watch the game. However, because Mrs. Wagner had just recovered from a serious illness and was not in particularly good health, the doctor did not advise her to go to the stadium, especially the South Stand.

“...... The doctor said that if I had to go to the stadium, I would buy a ticket and stay away from the South Stand...... "Mrs. Wagner said to Zhou Yi as she walked, "What a hell! I went to the stadium to stand in the South Stand, and if I couldn't go to the South Stand, why should I go?" Later, Mark played the game, and there were some conflicts in time, so this matter has been delayed......"

"It's all right, Mrs. Wagner. Zhou Yi was not embarrassed to say that he had not wanted to watch the Dortmund game before, he was afraid that Mrs. Wagner would be angry if he said so......

He lifted the brim of his cap and looked left and right, and now they had come out of the train station and followed the large group towards the West**** Stadium. He was surrounded by Dortmund fans dressed in yellow or black, and he stood on tiptoe and tried to look up behind him, as far as he could see, presumably all the way to the train station. Jumping up and looking ahead, outside the West**** stadium is a yellow-black ocean, where countless yellow-black rivers converge, and Zhou Yi is only one of them.

This scene is truly spectacular.

※ ※ ※

Outside the West**** Stadium, Zhou Yi already felt that the scene he saw was spectacular.

But when he entered the inside of the stadium, he realized that he still had too little knowledge......

When the Wagners went to the ticket window to get their tickets, the four of them arrived at the security checkpoint.

The buttons of the West**** stadium are not strict, mobile phones, cameras, wallets, coins, and flagpoles can be brought in, but food and drinks are not, this is to ensure the sales of food stores in the stadium.

Zhou Yi and they passed through security and climbed the stairs, and they first passed through the store area, where there were shops selling hot dogs and various drinks. Many fans lined up here to buy meat dogs or burgers, and these people came straight to the place without lunch.

Zhou Yi and they had lunch, so naturally they didn't need to buy food, but they always wanted drinks.

The Wagners bought a liter of beer for each of them, a glass of juice for their son Mark, who was not yet 18 years old, and a ...... for Zhou Yi Also bought a beer.

"Football and beer, you can't do it. Seeing that Zhou Yi was a little hesitant, Mrs. Wagner smiled. "It's fine, it doesn't matter if you drink once in a while. ”

Zhou Yi then took the beer mug printed with the head of Dortmund captain Kyle.

"That's right, Zhou Yi. Are you going to go to the bathroom?" asked Mark, who was next to him.

"I'm ...... now It's okay. "Zhou Yi's urge to urinate is not very strong.

Mark shook his head: "I suggest you go with me for the last time, otherwise you won't be able to come after the game starts." ”

This Zhou Yi understands, just like watching a movie, who wants to go to the toilet in a tense film? What if the kung fu hero and heroine who go to the toilet go to bed and roll the sheets? What a pity.

It's the same with watching the game, and it's a shame to miss the goal when you go to the toilet......

So Zhou Yi handed the drink to Mrs. Wagner and went to the toilet with Mark. There were a lot of people who went to the toilet before the game, so there were queues at the door of several toilets, and it took them a while to get in and solve the problem.

Coming out to grab a drink, the four of them walked up again, and when Zhou Yi walked up the last step of the stairs, the first thing that caught the paint was the green stadium and the stands opposite. Then he turned around and saw the steep ...... behind him South Stand.

There is not a single plastic seat, just a south stand with concrete steps and railings.

Zhou Yi's first impression when he saw the South Stand was...... Why is this grandstand so steep!

From below, it looks as if the audience at the top is about to fall from above. And this is not Zhou Yi's illusion, because there are many railings several meters long and half a person high in the south stand, which are densely worn and placed in various floors of the south stand, which is not just used as handrails for Dortmund fans.

There were already a lot of people in the south stand, most of them dressed like the Marc family, with scarves around their necks and wrists, wearing Dortmund jerseys or yellow and black jackets - many of them were uniform, and they should be the uniforms of the various fan groups. Zhou Yi and Mark's family also wore the same style of uniform, and Zhou Yi guessed that Mark's family should also belong to a fan organization.

Those railings were covered with scarves and flags, slogans, banners. People stand in their respective places chatting or wandering around the neighborhood to greet people they know well.

Mark's family also greeted them. When they came to their place, the people around them were surprised.

"Old Wagner!?" shouted a big fat man with a bald head on the top of his head, but a thick ring of hair around him, like a big fat man wearing a brown straw hat when he saw them. "What the hell am I ain, am I?" he rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly.

Then he laughed and gave Wagner Sr. a hug. "Welcome home!"

"Are you feeling better, Amy?" and he went to hug Mrs. Wagner again.

"Thank you for your concern, Bruno 'Daddy'. Much better, otherwise how could I have come to the South Stand?" Mrs. Wagner. "When I first recovered, the doctor didn't allow me to come to the South Stand to watch the game. He said to me, if I have to come to the game, then go buy a ticket......"

Hearing Mrs. Wagner's words, Bruno, the fat man, waved his hand: "Don't listen to the nonsense of doctors, they are always good at exaggerating." Sit down and watch the ball and you're spineless!"

"Yes, we're all South Grandstand people!" Mrs. Wagner agreed, saying that you had to stand and watch the whole time.

Bruno smiled and hugged Mark, "Ah, Mark, when was the last time you came to the South Stand? It's been a year, right? You're still in the U17s?"

"Bruno 'Daddy', I'm in the U19s now. Mark said with a smile.

Mark's changes, Zhou Yi can feel that since he came to the South Stand, Mark has become the same as usual, and he has no confidence in himself. With a confident smile on his face and a "this is his place" feeling, he felt like he was back in his own home...... No, it was easier than going back to his own home.

"U19? Oh my God, won't I be able to see you play in the South Stand soon?" said Bruno, who was exaggerated in his tone, expression, and movements.

"I've just been promoted to the Under-19s, Bruno 'Daddy', I haven't even played a game. Mark said.

"That's not important, Mark. Once you've been promoted to the Under-19s, you'll have a chance to be a first-team player for Borussia Dortmund. If you can play for the first team, 'Daddy' and I'll be here to lead our 'black gold' people to chant your name......!"

Bruno said, took a deep breath, and then waved his arms and shouted, "Mark Wagner, Mark Wagner, Mark Wagner, he grew up with me!"

The people around him who were wearing the same uniform as them laughed, and Mark laughed, a little shyly, for the first time he had heard his name being shouted in the form of a fan cheering slogan......

While everyone was still laughing, Bruno had already moved his gaze to Zhou Yi next to Mark, and he looked at Mrs. Wagner with some confusion.

"Ahh Mrs. Wagner hurriedly stood next to Zhou Yi, grabbed his shoulders, and said to Bruno and the members of the surrounding "black gold" fan association. "I would like to introduce him to the talented player of our Borussia Dortmund Under-19 team, from China...... Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly waved to everyone: "Hi, hello everyone." Mark and I are teammates and ...... Roommate. ”

"Yes, Zhou Yi lives in our house and is a good friend of Mark. ”

Hearing his mother say this, Mark nodded beside him to prove it.

Since he is a good friend of Mark and still lives in Wagner's house, other members of the fan association greeted Zhou Yi one after another.

"U19 players?" Bruno hesitated when he heard Mrs. Wagner say this, because looking at Zhou Yi's body, he didn't look like a person who could play at the level of U19. However, he quickly suppressed the suspicion of Zhou Yi in his heart, and gave Zhou Yi a hug very warmly: "Welcome, Chinese boy." You're coming to the South Stand for the first time, right? I hope it doesn't scare you, haha!"

"I'm in charge of keeping order in our area, and you'll have to listen to me in a moment. In order for everyone to watch the game better, there is still some order to be observed. They all call me 'Daddy', and if you don't mind, you can call me that. Haha!"

Bruno loves to laugh very much, and the laughter is loud and hearty, which gives Zhou Yi a good first impression, so Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded: "No problem, I listen to you, 'Dad'!"

Seeing Zhou Yi say this, Bruno patted him on the shoulder happily: "Get ready to enjoy football!"

※ ※ ※

The first thing Zhou Yi enjoyed was not football, but the chorus of fans in the South Stand.

After they took their positions, the south stand was quickly filled, and soon, Zhou Yi was surrounded by people from front to back, left and right, so crowded that he had to stand slightly sideways, otherwise he couldn't even pull out his arms.

It was only then that he understood why Mark had asked him to unload the stock before the game. Look at the densely packed crowd below, it's impossible to squeeze a way out of it to go to the toilet!

After the fans had almost arrived, music played on the stadium's radio as the official anthem of Borussia Dortmund FC "We are firmly in this together".

At first, not everyone sang along, until the last stanza, when the Dortmund fans in the South Stand and other stands waved their arms and chanted: "Only one point, only one point - Dortmund will never die!!"

The team song was played.

Next, a magnificent symphonic melody sounded in the stadium, which was an excerpt from the second scene of Act 2 of Verdi's opera "Aida" in four acts, called "Triumphal March". Accompanied by magnificent music and the chorus of "shala" of the fans in the stands, the players on both sides ran out to warm up.

Zhou Yi focused his attention on Borussia Dortmund's first-team players. Some of these people will be their teammates in the future......

It's a pity that the stands are too high, the people seem small, and he can't see it very clearly. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a large screen on the side of the stands, on which was the TV broadcast signal of the players' warm-up. He can now go to the stars one by one.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, full-back Brazilian Dede, centre-back Subatic, South Korean full-back Lee Young-pyo, captain Sebastian Kehl, striker Valdés, Borussia Dortmund's academy-trained Turkish talent Nuri Shahin, and Borussia Dortmund's academy-trained defender Schmelzer......

When the players were warming up, the atmosphere in the south stand was still relatively relaxed, except that everyone was standing, Zhou Yi didn't think there was anything special about the legendary south stand.

But when the warm-up was over, some old black and white photos appeared on the big screen, showing a player wearing a Dortmund jersey and holding a salad plate, and the radio said: "All theories are gray, and the winner can be decided from the pitch." ”

A middle-aged man dressed in yellow appeared on the pitch with a microphone and a camera lens next to him.

"This is the host of the stadium!" Mark explained to Zhou Yi, who came to watch the game for the first time, because there were too many people and the voice was too noisy, even though he pressed with Zhou Yi, he had to say loudly. "Norbert Dicor, we all call him 'Nobby'! He is also a famous member of the club Dortmund, who scored twice in the 1989 German Cup final to help us win the German Cup 4-1 and win the German Cup! And our opponent at that time was Werder Bremen! If Nobby hadn't been plagued by injury, I think he would have achieved more in Dortmund!"

Nobby walked to the center of the pitch, held the microphone and said, "Friends, welcome to Signa Idona Park......"

"It's West****!" a fan beside Zhou Yi corrected loudly.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, Dortmund FC sold the naming rights of the stadium in exchange for a sponsorship. However, Dortmund fans have always been accustomed to calling this stadium West****, rather than the awkward Signa Iduna Park Stadium......

Of course, as the official host of the club, Nobby's interests of the sponsors naturally have to be considered, even if he is emotionally inclined to the old name of West ****, he can't say it on this occasion.

He continued: "...... Watch the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, where we host Werder Bremen. First of all, let's say hello to the fans of Werder Bremen who have come from afar!"

He turned to the visiting fan area and waved, "Hello, welcome to the best stadium in the world!!"

He responded to the boos of the unconvinced Werder Bremen fans.

Some fans around Zhou Yi laughed, obviously they all knew very well that Nobby was deliberately emphasizing the "best stadium in the world", for the sake of the fans of Qiyunda Bremen. Before the opening, the host also greeted the fans of the visiting team, which seemed friendly?

Ignoring the boos of the visiting fans, Nobby turned around and continued: "Of course, we also want to give a round of applause to the yellow and black fans who came to watch the game! Our tickets are sold out again! More than 80,000 spectators are once again live! Welcome to the best fans in the league, welcome to the fans of Dortmund!!"

The Sodomund fans in the stands raised their arms in response.

Zhou Yi also followed Mark in doing the same.

"Well done, Chinese boy. You look like a real Borussia Dortmund fan!" Bruno patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After the welcome speech, Nobby walked under the South Stand, facing the South Stand, and at the same time the South Stand also underwent some changes.

Mark pulled his scarf and raised his arms, and said excitedly, "Our ceremony is here, this is our ceremony!"

Immediately before Zhou Yi could react, the music sounded along with the chorus.

It's "You'll Never Walk Alone"!

Although the song is Liverpool's official anthem, it has also become a universal fan song that is sung at club stadiums in many countries around the world.

At this point, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a climax little by little.

Zhou Yi also followed Mark, pulling the ends of the scarf with both hands, raising his arms and pulling them away, the scarf was displayed, and he sang along while shaking his arms.

At first he was a little out of shape, but soon he found some sense in the chorus.

Tens of thousands of people singing a song together is really shocking, and it will cause a critical blow to people's hearts.

He started to fit into the stands, with the people who are crazy about football, because he's such a football lover......

At this time, the South Stand, as far as the eye can see, is full of yellow-black scarves, like a "wall" built of yellow-black bricks with a length of 100 meters and a height of 40 meters!

A wall of yellow and black!

The flag is waving on the wall, the wind is surging, the singing is shaking the sky, this is the south stand of West's ****!

※ ※ ※

After the chorus, Nobby began to broadcast the starting line-up for the game.

In the past, Zhou Yi always thought that the starting list was broadcast in the studio by the DJ on the spot, but today I learned that everyone stood in the stadium and led everyone to shout the names of the players.

"One, goalkeeper, Roman—"

Nobby announced the player's name, and the Dortmund fans in the stands collectively shouted the player's surname: "Weidenfeller!!"

At the same time, the big screen also shows the players' photos, names, numbers and other information.

"Four, defender, Nevin—"

"Subautich!!"

Zhou Yi also shouted with everyone, and at the same time looked forward to the day when his name was also shouted like this......

"Twenty-three, midfielder, easy-"

"Weekly !!"

When he was very enthusiastic, Zhou Yi suddenly felt that the style of painting was wrong - shouting it out like this seemed to be saying "week", what the hell is a week? He is not very used to this kind of name reversal name, it seems that he will give Nobby a wake-up call in the future, if you want to introduce him, just call it according to our Chinese habits......

After introducing the starters and substitutes, the last one to be introduced was the manager.

"Jurgen—"

"Klopp !!"

From the shouts of the fans, it can be heard that although Dortmund's current results are not too good, Klopp's status in their hearts is still very high, not because of the team's results, their love for Klopp is more due to Klopp's own personality.

※ ※ ※

After the start of the game, Zhou Yi's ears were filled with all kinds of shouts and songs, and there was no quiet moment. He even wondered if the sound would ring in his ears for three days......

As the game progressed, Zhou Yi also began to gradually feel the difference of the South Stand.

Because the crowd here is standing and there are a lot of people - in the Bundesliga there are many teams standing at home, but Dortmund's Wester**** Stadium has the largest capacity - 25,000.

So many people gathered together, even if only one syllable is uttered, it is enough to make a huge impact on the pitch.

Not to mention that the South Stand is very close to the stadium and has an extremely steep slope, so that the fans in the bottom row almost bend their legs, and their knees seem to be able to push up the goalkeeper in front.

Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese, who stood in front of the stand in the first half, played under this pressure - every attack by Dortmund could elicit a huge shout from the South Stand, and if Wiese blocked a shot from a Dortmund player, there would be immediate boos and curses from the South Stand.

Singing, shouting, boosing, scolding...... The Dortmund fans standing in the south stand did not allow themselves to stop for a second, as if they were tireless, unleashing their emotions to the fullest, and throwing the usual stereotype of Germans out of the clouds.

Here, unlike the agent and VIP area, there is also a surprise in identity. As long as you're standing in the South Stand, it doesn't matter who you are off the pitch, whether it's a university professor, a worker, a student, or a mother of a few children...... It doesn't matter.

Here, you are the most loyal Dortmund fan, 25,000 people gathered just because of Dortmund FC. It doesn't matter if these people are Protestant or Catholic...... Different religions don't matter here or now, because Dortmund is what they all share.

As the fans in the South Stand sang: "Our whole life, all our pride and joy, is only for BVB!!"

Zhou Yi is in the middle of it, if someone asks him in the future what it feels like to watch a Dortmund game in the south stand of the West**** Stadium, although he can usually talk nonsense, but now it will be difficult for him to describe this feeling in words.

If he doesn't want to say clichés like "it's irresistible to me" or "it's a close bond between the fans and the team", he can only suggest that the other person try it out for himself.

If you don't stand here, you will never understand why there are so many famous die-hard fans in the world who gather in the "South Stand" and "North Stand", but the "South Stand" of West**** is the most prestigious. It's not just about the number of people...... There is really an invisible force that is impacting the hearts of everyone standing here.

At least Zhou Yi himself felt that he was gradually melting in this storm of passion.

He chose Dortmund not because he was a Dortmund fan, he played for Dortmund for a different reason than Mark, he just thought that Dortmund valued him more and that under Jurgen Klopp, he might have more opportunities to play, which would be beneficial to his career.

This is entirely out of self-interest, objective and rational, but also cold.

But now, after dozens of minutes of shouting and singing with Mark in the South Stand, in addition to his hoarse voice, Zhou Yi has gradually gained another emotion - he is willing to wear Dortmund's yellow shirt for these crazy fans, run with all his strength on this field, send wonderful passes, and help the team score goals and win, just to hear the South Stand fans chanting their names.

When he was still recording the program "Inheritors of Green", he played a week with Dortmund U17 in the virtual system, and the venue he chose was this West**** stadium. At that time, it was also full, and the stadium was particularly noisy during the game, filled with the singing and cheering of the fans.

But after playing so many games in the virtual system, Zhou Yi's cognition and feelings about this stadium are not as deep as they are now.

Because the system can perfectly simulate real sound, even if it is a decibel level. But everyone who stands in this stand and makes such a sound, their feelings for Dortmund, and the story behind it, cannot be simulated by a perfect system.

※ ※ ※

In the 64th minute, Borussia Dortmund's starting striker, Swiss Alexander Frei, broke the deadlock for Dortmund with a penalty.

When the football flew into the goal, everyone in the South Stand jumped up with excitement and then rushed down to hug the people. Zhou Yi and Mark were pushed down by the excited fans behind them, and they didn't stabilize until they were blocked by the railing.

Zhou Yi knew that the stub railings all over the South Stand were not just used for everyone to tie scarves and hang slogans and banners......

In the end, thanks to Frey's penalty, Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 1-0 at home to achieve a crucial victory.

And Zhou Yi, who watched the Dortmund game live for the first time in the south stand, it was difficult to calm down at this moment to evaluate the team's performance, and he was still immersed in the atmosphere of the south stand and did not come back to his senses.

Mark, this is not the first time to watch the ball in the South Stand, and he is not much better than Zhou Yi.

At the end of the game, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi and said to him with tears in his eyes: "Zhou Yi, do you know? When I stood here watching the game, I suddenly remembered my self-defeating behavior a few days ago, and I deleted the character you built for me in the game...... Now that I think about it, what a big idiot!

"I've been a fan of this team since I was born, my biggest dream in life is to play for Borussia Dortmund at the Wester**** stadium, under the South Stand, I want to be called by Bruno 'Daddy' like that, I want to help Dortmund lift the salad plate and lift the Champions Cup...... These dreams haven't come true yet, so why did I almost get knocked out in a training session?"

"I have decided, no matter how many difficulties there are, how difficult it is, I will realize these dreams of mine! This time I will definitely not be knocked down and crushed by dreams! Thank you, Zhou Yi, thank you!"

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder, also with some emotion, and then he saw the Wagners who were smiling and staring at them behind Mark.

He said: "Mark, I think you should be more grateful to your parents, no matter what, they will always be behind you. Didn't they propose to watch this game?"

So Mark turned around and hugged his parents, and he couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

And Mrs. Wagner gently patted him on the back, stroked his head, and muttered, "Come on, Mark." You'll always be your mother's pride......"

Old Wagner stood next to him and nodded to Zhou Yi opposite.

Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded in return.

ps, a big chapter of nine thousand words!

From collecting information, to organizing it, to using it, from the important role of this chapter in this episode, to this volume, to the book, to the emotional mobilization of the writing, I spent a day working on this chapter.

I think my hard work and the quality of this chapter deserve a monthly ticket for me, right?

So, this time I don't need to "beg" the word, I "want" a monthly pass!

I want a commuter pass!!

When the monthly pass was !!, a magnificent symphonic melody sounded in the stadium, which was a musical excerpt from the second scene of Act 2 of Verdi's four-act opera "Aida", called "Triumphal March". Accompanied by magnificent music and the chorus of "shala" of the fans in the stands, the players on both sides ran out to warm up.

Zhou Yi focused his attention on Borussia Dortmund's first-team players. Some of these people will be their teammates in the future......

It's a pity that the stands are too high, the people seem small, and he can't see it very clearly. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a large screen on the side of the stands, on which was the TV broadcast signal of the players' warm-up. He can now go to the stars one by one.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, full-back Brazilian Dede, centre-back Subatic, South Korean full-back Lee Young-pyo, captain Sebastian Kehl, striker Valdés, Borussia Dortmund's academy-trained Turkish talent Nuri Shahin, and Borussia Dortmund's academy-trained defender Schmelzer......

When the players were warming up, the atmosphere in the south stand was still relatively relaxed, except that everyone was standing, Zhou Yi didn't think there was anything special about the legendary south stand.

But when the warm-up was over, some old black and white photos appeared on the big screen, showing a player wearing a Dortmund jersey and holding a salad plate, and the radio said: "All theories are gray, and the winner can be decided from the pitch." ”

A middle-aged man dressed in yellow appeared on the pitch with a microphone and a camera lens next to him.

"This is the host of the stadium!" Mark explained to Zhou Yi, who came to watch the game for the first time, because there were too many people and the voice was too noisy, even though he pressed with Zhou Yi, he had to say loudly. "Norbert Dicor, we all call him 'Nobby'! He is also a famous member of the club Dortmund, who scored twice in the 1989 German Cup final to help us win the German Cup 4-1 and win the German Cup!

Nobby walked to the center of the pitch, held the microphone and said, "Friends, welcome to Signa Idona Park......"

"It's West****!" a fan beside Zhou Yi corrected loudly.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, Dortmund FC sold the naming rights of the stadium in exchange for a sponsorship. However, Dortmund fans have always been accustomed to calling this stadium West****, rather than the awkward Signa Iduna Park Stadium......

Of course, as the official host of the club, Nobby's interests of the sponsors naturally have to be considered, even if he is emotionally inclined to the old name of West ****, he can't say it on this occasion.

He continued: "...... Watch the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, where we host Werder Bremen. First of all, let's say hello to the fans of Werder Bremen who have come from afar!"

He turned to the visiting fan area and waved, "Hello, welcome to the best stadium in the world!!"

He responded to the boos of the unconvinced Werder Bremen fans.

Some fans around Zhou Yi laughed, obviously they all knew very well that Nobby was deliberately emphasizing the "best stadium in the world", for the sake of the fans of Qiyunda Bremen. Before the opening, the host also greeted the fans of the visiting team, which seemed friendly?

Ignoring the boos of the visiting fans, Nobby turned around and continued: "Of course, we also want to give a round of applause to the yellow and black fans who came to watch the game! Our tickets are sold out again! More than 80,000 spectators are once again live! Welcome to the best fans in the league, welcome to the fans of Dortmund!!"

The Sodomund fans in the stands raised their arms in response.

Zhou Yi also followed Mark in doing the same.

"Well done, Chinese boy. You look like a real Borussia Dortmund fan!" Bruno patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After the welcome speech, Nobby walked under the South Stand, facing the South Stand, and at the same time the South Stand also underwent some changes.

Mark pulled his scarf and raised his arms, and said excitedly, "Our ceremony is here, this is our ceremony!"

Immediately before Zhou Yi could react, the music sounded along with the chorus.

It's "You'll Never Walk Alone"!

Although the song is Liverpool's official anthem, it has also become a universal fan song that is sung at club stadiums in many countries around the world.

At this point, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a climax little by little.

Zhou Yi also followed Mark, pulling the ends of the scarf with both hands, raising his arms and pulling them away, the scarf was displayed, and he sang along while shaking his arms.

At first he was a little out of shape, but soon he found some sense in the chorus.

Tens of thousands of people singing a song together is really shocking, and it will cause a critical blow to people's hearts.

He started to fit into the stands, with the people who are crazy about football, because he's such a football lover......

At this time, the South Stand, as far as the eye can see, is full of yellow-black scarves, like a "wall" built of yellow-black bricks with a length of 100 meters and a height of 40 meters!

A wall of yellow and black!

The flag is waving on the wall, the wind is surging, the singing is shaking the sky, this is the south stand of West's ****!

After the chorus, Nobby began to broadcast the starting line-up for the game.

In the past, Zhou Yi always thought that the starting list was broadcast in the studio by the DJ on the spot, but today I learned that everyone stood in the stadium and led everyone to shout the names of the players.

"One, goalkeeper, Roman—"

Nobby announced the player's name, and the Dortmund fans in the stands collectively shouted the player's surname: "Weidenfeller!!"

At the same time, the big screen also shows the players' photos, names, numbers and other information.

"Four, defender, Nevin—"

"Subautich!!"

Zhou Yi also shouted with everyone, and at the same time looked forward to the day when his name was also shouted like this......

"Twenty-three, midfielder, easy-"

"Weekly !!"

When he was very enthusiastic, Zhou Yi suddenly felt that the style of painting was wrong - shouting it out like this seemed to be saying "week", what the hell is a week? He is not very used to this kind of name reversal name, it seems that he will give Nobby a wake-up call in the future, if you want to introduce him, just call it according to our Chinese habits......

After introducing the starters and substitutes, the last one to be introduced was the manager.

"Jurgen—"

"Klopp !!"

From the shouts of the fans, it can be heard that although Dortmund's current results are not too good, Klopp's status in their hearts is still very high, not because of the team's results, their love for Klopp is more due to Klopp's own personality.

※ ※ ※

After the start of the game, Zhou Yi's ears were filled with all kinds of shouts and songs, and there was no quiet moment. He even wondered if the sound would ring in his ears for three days......

As the game progressed, Zhou Yi also began to gradually feel the difference of the South Stand.

Because the crowd here is standing and there are a lot of people - in the Bundesliga there are many teams standing at home, but Dortmund's Wester**** Stadium has the largest capacity - 25,000.

So many people gathered together, even if only one syllable is uttered, it is enough to make a huge impact on the pitch.

Not to mention that the South Stand is very close to the stadium and has an extremely steep slope, so that the fans in the bottom row almost bend their legs, and their knees seem to be able to push up the goalkeeper in front.

Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese, who stood in front of the stand in the first half, played under this pressure - every attack by Dortmund could elicit a huge shout from the South Stand, and if Wiese blocked a shot from a Dortmund player, there would be immediate boos and curses from the South Stand.

Singing, shouting, boosing, scolding...... The Dortmund fans standing in the south stand did not allow themselves to stop for a second, as if they were tireless, unleashing their emotions to the fullest, and throwing the usual stereotype of Germans out of the clouds.

Here, unlike the agent and VIP area, there is also a surprise in identity. As long as you're standing in the South Stand, it doesn't matter who you are off the pitch, whether it's a university professor, a worker, a student, or a mother of a few children...... It doesn't matter.

Here, you are the most loyal Dortmund fan, 25,000 people gathered just because of Dortmund FC. It doesn't matter if these people are Protestant or Catholic...... Different religions don't matter here or now, because Dortmund is what they all share.

As the fans in the South Stand sang: "Our whole life, all our pride and joy, is only for BVB!!"

Zhou Yi is in the middle of it, if someone asks him in the future what it feels like to watch a Dortmund game in the south stand of the West**** Stadium, although he can usually talk nonsense, but now it will be difficult for him to describe this feeling in words.

If he doesn't want to say clichés like "it's irresistible to me" or "it's a close bond between the fans and the team", he can only suggest that the other person try it out for himself.

If you don't stand here, you will never understand why there are so many famous die-hard fans in the world who gather in the "South Stand" and "North Stand", but the "South Stand" of West**** is the most prestigious. It's not just about the number of people...... There is really an invisible force that is impacting the hearts of everyone standing here.

At least Zhou Yi himself felt that he was gradually melting in this storm of passion.

He chose Dortmund not because he was a Dortmund fan, he played for Dortmund for a different reason than Mark, he just thought that Dortmund valued him more and that under Jurgen Klopp, he might have more opportunities to play, which would be beneficial to his career.

This is entirely out of self-interest, objective and rational, but also cold.

But now, after dozens of minutes of shouting and singing with Mark in the South Stand, in addition to his hoarse voice, Zhou Yi has gradually gained another emotion - he is willing to wear Dortmund's yellow shirt for these crazy fans, run with all his strength on this field, send wonderful passes, and help the team score goals and win, just to hear the South Stand fans chanting their names.

When he was still recording the program "Inheritors of Green", he played a week with Dortmund U17 in the virtual system, and the venue he chose was this West**** stadium. At that time, it was also full, and the stadium was particularly noisy during the game, filled with the singing and cheering of the fans.

But after playing so many games in the virtual system, Zhou Yi's cognition and feelings about this stadium are not as deep as they are now.

Because the system can perfectly simulate real sound, even if it is a decibel level. But everyone who stands in this stand and makes such a sound, their feelings for Dortmund, and the story behind it, cannot be simulated by a perfect system.

In the 64th minute, Borussia Dortmund's starting striker, Swiss Alexander Frei, broke the deadlock for Dortmund with a penalty.

When the football flew into the goal, everyone in the South Stand jumped up with excitement and then rushed down to hug the people. Zhou Yi and Mark were pushed down by the excited fans behind them, and they didn't stabilize until they were blocked by the railing.

Zhou Yi knew that the stub railings all over the South Stand were not just used for everyone to tie scarves and hang slogans and banners......

In the end, thanks to Frey's penalty, Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 1-0 at home to achieve a crucial victory.

And Zhou Yi, who watched the Dortmund game live for the first time in the south stand, it was difficult to calm down at this moment to evaluate the team's performance, and he was still immersed in the atmosphere of the south stand and did not come back to his senses.

Mark, this is not the first time to watch the ball in the South Stand, and he is not much better than Zhou Yi.

At the end of the game, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi and said to him with tears in his eyes: "Zhou Yi, do you know? When I stood here watching the game, I suddenly remembered my self-defeating behavior a few days ago, and I deleted the character you built for me in the game...... Now that I think about it, what a big idiot!

"I've been a fan of this team since I was born, my biggest dream in life is to play for Borussia Dortmund at the Wester**** stadium, under the South Stand, I want to be called by Bruno 'Daddy' like that, I want to help Dortmund lift the salad plate and lift the Champions Cup...... These dreams haven't come true yet, so why did I almost get knocked out in a training session?"

"I have decided, no matter how many difficulties there are, how difficult it is, I will realize these dreams of mine! This time I will definitely not be knocked down and crushed by dreams! Thank you, Zhou Yi, thank you!"

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder, also with some emotion, and then he saw the Wagners who were smiling and staring at them behind Mark.

He said: "Mark, I think you should be more grateful to your parents, no matter what, they will always be behind you. Didn't they propose to watch this game?"

So Mark turned around and hugged his parents, and he couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

And Mrs. Wagner gently patted him on the back, stroked his head, and muttered, "Come on, Mark." You'll always be your mother's pride......"

Old Wagner stood next to him and nodded to Zhou Yi opposite.

Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded in return.
