Chapter 170: The Snow Is Still Falling

When Zhou Yi woke up from the bed, his first reaction was to turn his head to look out the window, but he only saw thick curtains, and the room was still dark. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

So he jumped out of bed, didn't even bother with his clothes, and just opened the curtains.

Boom.

His eyes narrowed at the light outside.

But he didn't see the bright sun.

The blinding light he saw came from the reflection of the snow outside.

After his eyes eased up, Zhou Yi saw the scene in front of him, and a poem popped out of his mind: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting......"

Yes, that's what he saw.

After one night, the snow outside didn't stop, just a little lighter than last night.

There is a thick layer of snow on the ground and on the roof, and some workers are hurrying to remove snow from the road.

Zhou Yi looked at the scene in front of him and pursed his lips.

Yesterday my teammates were looking forward to a night of sunshine, and today should be a good day.

But looking at the gloomy sky and the falling snowflakes, it's hard to believe that there will be good weather today.

If you play in such weather, it will be much more difficult than usual.

The same fears are in the Borussia Dortmund coaching staff.

In the cafeteria, Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff chose a window seat to sit in.

Looking at the snowflakes that kept falling outside, assistant coach Gerlico Bouis said worriedly: "I'd rather have the game postponed now." ”

"That's impossible. Klopp shook his head. "Unless Istanbul is hit by a massive terrorist attack......"

"Hey......" Bouis sighed.

Then the people at the table stared out the window and stopped talking.

Also staring out the window were Galatasaray's players.

When the later people entered the restaurant, they would find their teammates gathered in front of the window, watching something, so they also came up curiously and found that they were actually looking at the snow outside.

Snow is not an uncommon thing, what is there to watch?

But when everyone saw this scene, they couldn't move.

One night later, the snow was still falling!

The snow on the ground was already thick, and I didn't know what was going on on the course.

At this time, the voice of the team's manager Trim rang out behind them: "Does no one think this is an omen? ”

Everyone heard his voice and turned back to look at Trim.

Trim spread his hands: "We played badly last night. Does anyone deny it?"

Hearing him say this, the players lowered their heads. They played really badly yesterday. Although the manager said before the game that he would fight for glory, the players clearly did not show such fighting spirit.

'If it hadn't been for that snow and hail, maybe we would have lost our home ground yesterday, I don't doubt that at all. But now, thank God for giving us a chance to correct this mistake—if you are willing to do so. ”

As Trim said that, the expressions on the players' faces changed.

As Trim said, it really feels like God's will. If it wasn't God's arrangement, why would snow and hail interrupt the game when they were most passive?

Since God has arranged this, there must be a reason for it.

Does this indicate that we can beat Dortmund?

From this snow that has not stopped, some clues can be seen.

We are playing at home, and we have the right place and all the people.

So what's the reason why you can't win?

Thinking of this, Galatasaray's players were excited.

It's a revelation!

"What a revelation......" In the Dortmund team, some players couldn't help but muttered when they saw the snow outside the window.

Zhou Yi pursed his lips after hearing this, he did not refute this teammate's statement.

But in his heart he didn't believe it.

What the hell is apocalyptic, I'm an atheist!

He no longer cared about the snow outside the window, and lowered his head to eat his breakfast, while pulling out his phone and reading the news.

Yesterday was Champions League matchday and today there was a lot of news about yesterday's Champions League game.

The other game in the same group ended normally without any incidents.

Napoli did their best to beat Arsenal at their home stadium, but the score was 2-0.

It's subtle.

If Borussia Dortmund lose to Galatasaray, Arsenal and Napoli will join hands to qualify, with both teams accumulating twelve points compared to Borussia Dortmund's nine.

And if Borussia Dortmund beat Galatasaray in the replays, Napoli will be eliminated from the competition.

Zhou Yi felt that the worst thing now was actually Naples, which could have been sentenced in court, but it turned out to be sentenced on another day because of a heavy snowfall. They had to hang on until the final verdict.

For Borussia Dortmund, it doesn't make a difference, they still have to win anyway.

As Zhou Yi thought, after the match between Napoli and Arsenal yesterday, although Napoli won the game, there was calm at the Sao Paulo Stadium after the game.

Because they don't know what the consequences of this result will be for themselves.

So I don't know if I should cheer or be sad.

If both games end at the same time, there will be a result right away.

Now they have to continue to wait for the final verdict.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi suddenly laughed.

His laughter caught everyone's attention, and his teammates turned their heads to look at him.

"What are you laughing at, Zhou Yi?" asked Mark curiously.

"Nothing, I was just thinking that Napoli must be waiting for the second boot on the roof to be taken off right now. Zhou Yi told a joke, and everyone who understood laughed.

The atmosphere has become a little better than before.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yi simply said to everyone: "Actually, it has no impact on us. Because whether it's one day or two days, we're going to win, aren't we?"

Hearing him say this, everyone also thinks this is the truth.

"Of course, it's a little uncomfortable that the state has been interrupted, but can't we win because of this? Let's just look at this as a two-legged match, yesterday was the first leg, we were 1-0 ahead, and we will lose in the second leg, right?"

Everyone who said Zhou Yi nodded one after another.

"So it's just a normal game. What about snow battles? Haven't we ever played them?"

Zhou Yiyi said that everyone also came back to their senses. Germany is not low, and every winter, it snows almost all of the country. Dortmund, located in northwestern Germany, is not without heavy snowfall. So playing in snowy weather is no stranger to Borussia Dortmund players.

The more important reason why the game was interrupted yesterday was the hail. Playing in hail was something I've never experienced before. It's not enough that there won't be hail today, right?

The conversation between Zhou Yi and his teammates also attracted the attention of the coaches, and seeing that Zhou Yi's words eased the tension of the players, the coaches of the coaching staff glanced at each other.

Klopp smiled and spread his hands.

The other coaches laughed too.

It's really their luck to have a player like Zhou Yi, and they don't have to worry a lot......

Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray play starts at 9 p.m. local time.

This is a very unusual thing for Chinese viewers - when will they also be able to enjoy the treatment of European TV viewers, watching Champions League matches in prime time in the evening?

Although at this time, sports channels have other programs, such as sports news, sports world, etc.

But there is no need to worry at all that they will not be able to see the game. There is Zhou Yi's competition, which is naturally made way for them by other programs.

Sure enough, the TV station made temporary changes to the programme, and all the programmes between 8:30 and 11 were cancelled or postponed to make way for the Dortmund and Galatasaray matches.

At half past eight, the live show started on time.

Rear commentators and guest commentators appear on the screen to introduce everyone to this special game.

“...... The latest news, the snow over there in Istanbul has not stopped. I believe this is definitely bad news for Dortmund......" commentator He Ping frowned when he said the news. He, like many of Dortmund's players, thought that after one night, the snow would stop......

It didn't.

Maybe at night when everyone is sleeping, it does stop, but at least it is still falling, which means that the situation is not as optimistic.

"We can also see from the news earlier that the Ali Samyan Stadium is being cleared and there is no snow on the field now, but it will still have an impact on the players......"

Many Chinese fans actually knew the news earlier than watching TV, because on the Internet, everything spreads faster.

They are also worried that the poor conditions of the field will not be conducive to Dortmund's performance.

The defending champions won't be eliminated from the group stage, right?

Some people don't dare to say it on their lips, but they worry about it in their hearts.
