Every Ruhr derby will be packed in the stands, not to mention that today's Ruhr derby may also be related to the league title for a season.

If it weren't for the fact that Bayern Munich's game kicked off at the same time as Borussia Dortmund's, some Bayern Munich players would have watched the game in front of the TV.

West** Stadium is already full, and as far as the eye can see, it is almost a sea of yellow and black.

Schalke 04 fans have, but they are inconspicuous, at the very top of the stands and furthest from the pitch.

Despite the close proximity of the two cities, fans of both teams are not very fond of going to each other's home stadiums, so the visitors in the Ruhr derby tend to be more difficult to play.

In the history of the Bundesliga, the two teams have met a total of 83 times, and Dortmund has a slight lead with 30 wins, 24 draws and 29 losses, which shows how fierce the Ruhr derby is.

At home, Borussia Dortmund still have the upper hand, with 18 wins, 12 draws and 11 defeats. This also proves that the Ruhr derby is indeed a bit more difficult to play away from home.

I thought that in the first leg of the Ruhr derby, there was a scene in which extreme Dortmund fans threw fireworks into the stands, and there was a clash between fans on both sides after the game, so the atmosphere was already tense before the game started. In order to maintain the safety of the stadium, Dortmund sent a total of 3,000 police officers on and off the stadium to ensure that there were no accidents.

Due to the many troubles caused by the Dortmund fans this season, the club is actually very nervous now, and if the situation arises again, it is very likely that the German Football Association will impose a ban on home spectators.

Dortmund fans have always been the pride of Dortmund, and Dortmund fans are the most fanatical and loyal group in the whole of Europe. But Dortmund FC is enjoying the benefits of support from fanatical fans, but it also has to bear the trouble and pressure brought by fanatical extreme fans.

Because the two teams are so familiar, there is no process of testing each other after the game starts.

Just four minutes into the game, Huntelaar received the ball from 10 metres in front of goal and fired a shot straight into goal, which went just wide and startled the Dortmund fans.

It also shows Schalke 04's determination to go for a win despite the difficult away game.

Of course, Dortmund is not an unresponsive wooden man, and after being attacked by the other side with a threat, Dortmund naturally has to return the color.

Two minutes later, Reuss crossed from the flank and Mark stole the penalty down the middle, but he was completely unguarded and deflected the ball wide.

Two minutes later, Schalke 04's Goretzka fired a long-range shot from in front of the box that was directly confiscated by Weidenfeller.

Yan Min and Reus made a switch, curling a cross from the right and Sven Bender headed in from the middle, but the ball was again deflected wide of the right-hand post......

"After the game started, the two sides were not conservative at all, it was completely against each other! Despite being such a pivotal match, neither side was willing to lose momentum...... said Marcel Leiff.

With the development of the attack, the smell of gunpowder on the field gradually began to thicken.

In the 23rd minute, Reus raised his arm during a header and made an elbow movement, was adjudged for a foul and received a yellow card.

Dortmund has yellow cards, Schalke 04 is naturally not to be outdone, in terms of popularity, the Ruhr derby is the first in Germany. Soon, Draxler was fouled in a tackle at the back and also received a yellow card. It was Zhou Yi who was shoveled down by him, and although Draxler tackled Zhou Yi and received a yellow card, he didn't want to come up to pull Zhou Yi at all, and he didn't mean to release a friendly signal, so he turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yi was helped up by his teammates.

"Are you okay, Zhou Yi?" asked Zhou Yi with concern.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Fortunately, I hid in time." ”

"That kid, you're just here for you!" someone glared viciously at Draxler in the distance.

Draxler was unfazed by the angry eyes of the Dortmund players, and was even a little smug.

"It's fine. Zhou Yi patted his teammates and comforted them in turn.

The game continued, and during a dead ball, Draxler came up, covered his mouth and said viciously to Zhou Yi by Zhou Yi's side: "Did the fall hurt just now? Don't mind, this is the Ruhr derby." If you can't stand it, apply to be replaced!"

Zhou Yi heard Draxler's words, and reluctantly turned to Yang Muge next to him, and deliberately said to Yang Muge in German: "Old Yang, why is your good friend so naïve?"

Yang Muge was speechless, but Draxler who heard this sentence was very dissatisfied: "Who do you say is naïve?"

Zhou Yi smiled at him and said nothing.

Seeing his two friends fighting so-for-tat on the court, Yang Muge didn't have a point.

When he was in the youth team, he knew that Draxler was "hateful" of Zhou Yi and had always looked down on Zhou Yi.

But that's their own business, and Yang Muge can't care about it. Draxler is his friend, and Zhou Yi is also his friend, but he doesn't have to let these two friends have to be friends. Everyone is an adult, don't be so naïve.

The game continued, and few people noticed the spat between Draxler and Zhou Yi.

However, someone soon noticed a small change in Zhou Yi's position on the court - he and Sven Bender made a switch.

Originally, Zhou Yi's position was relatively flexible, and when he stood with Sven Bender, he would not be fixed whether it was left or right.

But after the game restarted, Zhou Yi has been fixed to one side and rarely goes elsewhere.

After adjusting his position in this way, he changed from opposing Yang Muge to opposing Draxler.

The small change in this position, after being noticed, was only regarded as Zhou Yi's intention to get rid of Yang Muge's defense against him.

This is also normal.

Every time the Ruhr derby, Yang Muge's defense against Zhou Yi is very tight, and Zhou Yi always has to do his best to get rid of Yang Muge's defense. In the last leg of the Ruhr derby, Schalke 04's head coach Jens Keller abandoned this approach and switched to young midfielder Neustadt to defend Zhou Yi.

As a result, that game was simply a disaster for Neustadt, the tall Neustadt couldn't defend himself against the tall but flexible Zhou Yi, and Neustadt's physical advantage had no chance to play in front of Zhou Yi.

At that time, Schalke 04 conceded the goal in the opening fourteen minutes, and the goal was conceded from Neustadt, who lost the defense against Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi scored the game-winning goal in the game, also after getting rid of Neustadt.

In that game, Schalke 04 lost 1-3 to Borussia Dortmund at their home stadium, and Neustadt's performance was definitely not excellent. Neustadt didn't even finish the game when he was replaced by Jens Keller.

After the game, Schalke's media criticized Jens Keller's lineup and tactical arrangement in the game, believing that his biggest problem was to defend Zhou Yi with the Neustadt ball, and in front of the nimble and cunning Zhou Yi, Neustadt was like a rusty tin can.

This time in the Ruhr derby, the head coach of Schalke 04 is still Jens Keller. This time he finally did not make the mistake of the last time, although Neustadt also started, but before the game he set Yang Muge to defend Zhou Yi, from the position of the court, the two are also exactly opposite.

After the opening, Yang Muge's restriction on Zhou Yi was successful, although both sides fought against each other, but at least he didn't let Zhou Yi send the last fatal pass.

But now after such a change, Zhou Yi is closer to Draxler.

Draxler is an offensive player, but when the team is defending, he also needs to take on certain defensive tasks, otherwise why did he tackle Zhou Yi just now?

When Zhou Yi got the ball again, he didn't pass the ball right away, but tried to dribble the ball forward.

On the line where he dribbles the ball, it happens to be Draxler who is returning to defense.

Facing Zhou Yi, he was eager to try, intending to teach Zhou Yi another profound lesson.

When the two met, Zhou Yi's left foot pulled the football to the right, making a sign that he was going to break to the right, and Draxler naturally shifted his center of gravity to that side.

But just when he tilted his center of gravity, Zhou Yi's left foot pulled the ball, and then slammed the football back to the left with the outside instep!

At the same time, Zhou Yi quickly changed direction and planned to break through from the left!

At this point, it was too late for Draxler to change his focus.

But he didn't want to watch Zhou Yi give himself over, in a hurry, he stumbled under his feet and pulled on his hands, and forcibly left Zhou Yi, who was about to break through, by his side.

Zhou Yi saw that he couldn't compete for Draxler's "clutches", so he didn't struggle anymore, and stopped directly, spread his hands, and let the football slip away from him.

Such an obvious pulling foul, he didn't believe the referee of this game would not see it.

Sure enough, the whistle soon sounded behind him, followed by boos from the stands, all given to Draxler by Dortmund fans.

"Draxler has committed two fouls in a row in a short period of time! he needs to be careful, he has a yellow card on him!" Marcel Leif reminded. "The referee may have taken this into account, and this time he only gave a verbal warning and did not mean to play a card. But in any case, Draxler has to be careful......"

Draxler did not have the arrogant attitude he had after the last foul, and in the face of the referee's verbal warning, he could only nod his head and admit his mistake.

He's not stupid either, knowing not to provoke the referee.

Fortunately, the referee let him go.

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Yi next to him, smiling at him.

Draxler's positive attitude of admitting his mistake in front of the referee disappeared immediately, and he glared at Zhou Yi fiercely.
