When the Dortmund team arrived in Napoli, they were greeted with a grand "welcome" at the airport - hundreds of Napoli fans held banners to demonstrate to Dortmund. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Go back to Germany! bitch!"

"You're not welcome here!"

"You're going to die here!"

Others looked like normal welcome: "Welcome to Naples!"

However, this sentence is followed by the pattern of knives and pistols.

What does that mean, of course, everyone knows......

What's more, in these banners, there is even a Na Chui logo!

Although it is not very conspicuous, it is still seen.

Napoli fans are doing whatever it takes to put pressure on Dortmund in order to interfere with them......

Zhou Yi pouted at this - during World War II, you Italy and Germany were in the same group, both of them were Axis powers. Is this the rhythm of a monk scolding a bald man?

Although Zhou Yi is a little disdainful of this method of Napoli fans. But the approach of the Napoli fans did have some impact on the Dortmund players.

Security is indeed a very important issue.

Everyone is here to play football games, they make money from football, although they are usually in front of the public, they are also a star, but they are also human beings first, and if they are people, they will die, they will be injured, and they will be afraid.

They're just here to play a game, and if they risk their lives because of it, it wouldn't be worth it, right?

From the airport, every Dortmund player felt this threat, and in order to protect the safety of the entire Dortmund team, Napoli sent a special team of policemen to escort them along the road on motorcycles and police cars.

And everywhere the Borussia Dortmund bus goes, they can feel the gaze of the Napoli fans, and you can't feel any friendliness in the eyes of those people.

There are also people who unabashedly play with the daggers in their hands against the Dortmund bus.

All of this made the Dortmund players in the car a little uneasy.

"Why do I think we're on the battlefield?" Mark whispered to Zhou Yi.

"Don't worry, Mark. It's just a bluff. Zhou Yi said with a smile, he didn't care much about these atmospheres, and he didn't live in Naples, he went directly to the hotel from the airport, and the hotel went to the stadium by bus, in fact, the probability of suffering from life-threatening was very low. No matter how famous Napoli is for being a mafia, they will not do irrational things for the sake of a game.

So these are just mental pressures that Napoli fans have created on Dortmund.

Smoke bombs, if you really care about this appearance, then you are in the hands of Napoli fans.

Although he heard Zhou Yi say this, Mark still shrunk in his chair: "Anyway, I will never go out alone." ”

'There's nothing to go out about, so we'll go back after the game. Do you still want to taste the style of an Italian woman?" Zhou Yi teased.

"No kidding, how dare I ......" Mark cried with a sad face, he was really scared.

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Why don't you dare? Call to the hotel room, if you live with me, I promise not to interfere with you!"

"......" Mark couldn't help but roll his eyes, Zhou Yi could still joke in this environment, and he was also speechless.

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar outside the window: "Victory in Naples!

The roar alarmed the Dortmund players in the car, who turned their heads against the windows and looked in some panic at the large blue Napoli fans gathered in front of the hotel.

"Didn't you go to the hotel where we were staying?" asked one player.

"This is the hotel we stayed in...... someone immediately said helplessly.

A crowd of people looked at the crazy fans and forgot to speak, so the roar of the Napoli fans became clearer and more piercing.

This is the hotel where the Dortmund players stayed, but it is now home to a large number of Napoli fans.

The bus was just a short walk from the hotel gates, but the Dortmund players were worried that the weak security forces would not be able to stop the frenzied Napoli fans, who would be torn to shreds by the Napoli fans who rushed up......

Seeing such a situation, Zhou Yi couldn't get up easily.

This away looks like ...... It's hard to fight.

And there will be one more in the group stage - Galatasales' home stadium, and there are so many legends about crazy Istanbul.

From this point of view, this is probably the real reason why this group is called the "Group of Death......

※※※

Fortunately, the Napoli fans did not break through the security wall, so the Dortmund players were transferred from the bus to the hotel lobby without any problems.

In fact, it's time to think about it calmly, Napoli fans certainly don't dare to attack Dortmund's buses and players. If there is really such a vicious incident, this game will not be held at all, and Dortmund will be directly sentenced by UEFA to win 3:0.

That's a good thing for Dortmund.

The Napoli fans are not stupid and certainly don't do such a thing to give people a mouthful. It's not even a game yet, everything they do is just to put pressure on Dortmund and make the Dortmund players play out of shape in the next games.

Even if you want to vent your anger, it will be after the game is over and Napoli loses......

So at least for now, the Dortmund players are safe.

It's just that in this kind of atmosphere and environment, not everyone can think calmly, and people are easily at the mercy of the atmosphere.

After dinner, assistant coach Bouist suddenly announced a team meeting.

Everyone thought it was strange about this sudden arrangement: shouldn't the tactical meeting be held the night before the game......

When the players came to the conference room in confusion, they found that it was not the Dortmund coaching staff who came to give them a meeting, but the Napoli police!

As soon as they saw the policeman in uniform with a pistol pinned to his waist, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

This is the first time they have been away from home.

"That's right, the Napoli Police Department is very concerned about our safety, so I'm here to explain something to you......" explained sporting director Zork to the players with a confused face, his expression a little ...... as he said this Uncanny.

"That's right, gentlemen. The policeman spoke, and to his surprise, he spoke German, albeit with a slightly strange accent, but it was really German, which most people in Dortmund could understand.

"I'm sorry to see something not so good, but on behalf of the Naples Police Department, I assure you that your safety will be guaranteed, there is no doubt about that. But I would like to remind you a little bit that please don't go out casually......"

Zhou Yi glanced at Zorke and the representatives of the Naples police station very strangely, he came from the airport to see the performance of the Napoli fans, but he thought that it was the usual psychological warfare method of the home fans against the away team, and it was not a big deal, did those fans really dare to do something to the players?

Leeds United and Galatasaray met in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, and in the first leg, Leeds United went away to take on Galatasaray, and on the streets of Istanbul, Leeds United fans and Galatasaray fans clashed, resulting in the death of two Leeds United fans. At that time, it shocked the world football world and caused another round of attention about football violence.

But Zhou Yi really hasn't heard of such a thing as extreme fans shooting at players......

So he raised his hand.

The police representative noticed Zhou Yi's actions, so he stopped and looked at Zhou Yi: "Do you have any questions, sir?"

Zhou Yi stood up and said, "Mr. Policeman, is it a bit of a fuss? That's just a means for the home fans to put pressure on the away team......

The police representative shook his head repeatedly: "I can't rule out such a situation, sir." But we can't rule out other cases either. We've noticed some of the fans doing with a very clear threat to them. We can't take it lightly, if it doesn't go wrong, of course, but what if it does, we can't wait for something to go wrong and then make up for it......"

"What's the problem?" asked Grosskreutz aloud.

The police representative turned his head to look at him, then spread his hands and said: "In 1987, Napoli played in the Champions League for the first time in history, and our opponent in the first round was Real Madrid. In the first leg, we lost 2-0 to Real Madrid away. In the second leg, Real Madrid came to Napoli, when they had just arrived at the airport, and some extremists, posing as members of the crew, insulted Real Madrid players and even physically ......"

The Dortmund players were stunned by the words of the police representative.

"At the airport, hundreds of people raised banners, waved their fists and shouted insults. In order to make the Real Madrid bus move smoothly, our police blocked the road on both sides, but the Napoli fans on both sides of the road still threw all kinds of things at the bus. While passing by a village, the local villagers put up a large banner that read, 'Welcome, bastard!'. ”

The policeman, who was gray-haired and old, seemed to be a first-hand witness to the incident, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

For this reason, the hotels where Real Madrid is staying are all closed. At around 10 o'clock, hundreds of people were waiting for Real Madrid on the street, throwing stones, eggs and wood at the Real Madrid players. There are also some extreme fans, hiding near the hotel, blowing horns and affecting the rest of the Real Madrid players...... In the end, when the Real Madrid bus was about to go to the stadium, we had to find six cash trucks to surround their bus in the middle to avoid being attacked by extreme fans with stones and eggs......"

When the old policeman finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room, and even Zhou Yi couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

He was not yet born in 1987, and he really did not expect that football hooliganism could really run rampant to such a degree, nor did he expect that in Naples, a mafia city, law and order could be so chaotic.

"It's not a story, it's true. "Of course, the law and order is still better than it was back then, so you don't have to worry about being treated the same as Real Madrid, first of all, you didn't beat us 2-0 in the first leg, and secondly, we are now cracking down on extreme fans...... In short, you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to, and everyone else should not be too nervous......"

Although the veteran policeman finally comforted the Dortmund players, until he left, the worries of the Dortmund players did not ease at all, but worsened......

After Zhou Yi returned to the room, he checked the Internet and found that there was really such a thing.

He was completely speechless - it looked like the old policeman wasn't making up a story to scare them.

※※※

Borussia Dortmund FC announced a closure order, which does not allow Dortmund's players to leave the hotel for half a step and must stay in the hotel except to get used to the venue. Not just alone but also in a group, not allowed to leave the hotel. Who knows if there are extreme Napoli fans lurking in the dimly lit alleys?

In addition, Dortmund also issued a safety reminder for Dortmund fans who go to watch the game away, reminding them to stay safe and try not to be alone on the streets of Napoli, and it is best to travel in a group. And try not to wear a Dortmund shirt and not to anger the Napoli fans.

No one wants to go abroad to watch the game happily, but they end up staying there forever.

※※※

The entire Dortmund squad spent two days preparing for the game in tight security and a pervasive atmosphere of panic.

But I don't know if it's because the security measures provided by the Napoli police are stricter and more thorough, or if the extreme Napoli fans are very well-behaved this time......

Although there were also some extreme Napoli fans who gathered outside the Dortmund hotel in the early hours of the morning, chanting and disturbing the rest of the Dortmund players. However, because of the story of the old policeman before, everyone thinks that it is okay to just sing and interfere, and it is better than throwing stones at your window glass, right? In many European cities, most hotels are not the kind of skyscrapers in China, but old buildings on the street, with low floors, often only five or six floors to the sky. So if there are really extreme fans who want to throw stones, they can completely smash the glass window......

The situation was not as serious as everyone thought, and there were no incidents. The buses in which the Dortmund players rode were not stoned or eggs thrown when they went to the stadium to acclimatize to the field.

With two hours to go, the Dortmund players boarded the bus as a group.

The bus leaves the hotel and heads towards the São Paulo Stadium.

Along the way, Dortmund's players will see gathered Napoli fans, and when they meet the Dortmund bus, they will salute the Dortmund bus on the side of the road, but it is not the same as when they first arrived in Napoli, this time the fierce expression is less common, and the middle finger is rare.

It looked like it was no different from what they had seen in any away game.

The atmosphere in the bus was relaxed, and the teammates even joked with each other.

"Did the police in Naples forget something?" Zhou Yi said suddenly.

"Forgot what?" someone asked him curiously.

So Zhou Yi pointed to the police car that drove for them in front. "They forgot to use the cash truck!"

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Klopp was also in a much lighter mood when he heard the players' laughter coming from behind.

He was most worried that the team would lose momentum before the game.

Two days ago, when the entire Dortmund squad was locked up in a hotel, Klopp felt that he could see the morale of the team plummeting.

He even wondered if Napoli had deliberately created such tension to interfere with Dortmund's preparations......

Now, if people can make jokes, it means that they are back to normal. And as long as Dortmund can play normally, even if it is away, Klopp feels that Dortmund has a good chance of winning Napoli.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the bus was much more relaxed.

But the relaxed atmosphere came to an abrupt end as the bus approached the St. Paul's Stadium.

It's still some distance from the São Paulo Stadium, but all you can see is the blue jersey-clad Napoli fans, who have gathered outside the stadium and filled every space.

The buses in which the Dortmund players rode were like boats, plunging headlong into the turbulent blue sea......

The sea is rough, and a wave can break this leaf boat into pieces.

Dortmund's Ruhr derby rivals Schalke 04's stadium at the Fertings Arena (famously at the Schalke Stadium) is the Devil's home stadium that has ever set the record for the largest number of decibels cheered by a Bundesliga fan, and Schalke 04 fans also wear blue shirts.

But the Borussia Dortmund players now feel that the Arena is far less pressuring than the Sao Paulo Stadium in front of them......

This discovery silenced many people.

The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant......
