When the captains of both sides completed the process of picking sides, and the players of both sides stood on the pitch, waiting for the kick-off, a banner was slowly unfurled in the stands where the fans of the away team Bayern Munich gathered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The banner was long and large, almost running through the away stands.

The red banner is covered with white German letters, which are combined into one sentence: "Don't look for it, Götze is on our side!"

A glance at this sentence will make some people wonder - what are you looking for?

It turned out that during Dortmund's home match against Atletico Madrid, before the game, Dortmund fans played a giant TIFO in the south stand, and a Dortmund fan wearing a top hat was watching with a telescope, and behind him was a silhouette of the European Champions Cup, with the words "In Search of the Lost Big Ears Cup" written below.

The Big Ears Cup is the nickname of the European Champions Cup because the shape of the handles on its sides looks like ears.

Borussia Dortmund have not been able to claim the highest European club honour since winning the European Cup for the first time in their history in 1997, and Dortmund fans have used the TIFO and slogan to show their confidence and expectation of winning the Champions League this season, hoping that this 16-year quest will come to an end this year.

At that time, this TIFO was still very famous, and it caused a lot of media coverage and discussion after the game.

And the banner displayed by the Bayern Munich fans today is a "reply" to that TIFO. In TIFO, Dortmund is looking for a title, and Bayern Munich fans cleverly answer and introduce the hottest topic of the moment - the news about Gotze's transfer to Bayern Munich, mocking Dortmund for not being able to keep people, and the main players inside are scrambling to leave and go to their sworn enemy Bayern Munich.

It's like reopening Dortmund's scab-over wound and applying a handful of salt......

At Dortmund's home turf, the naked ridicule of Dortmund is simply unbearable.

The TV broadcast immediately paid attention to what happened in the stands, and immediately cut a camera to it, so that everyone who watched the game around the world saw the mockery of Dortmund by Bayern Munich fans......

Marcel Leif laughed: "The fans on both sides have been fighting since before the game, and the rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich has been the theme of the league in recent seasons. This season, for the first time, they will break through the restrictions of the domestic league and extend that competition to Europe......"

Duan Xinzhi didn't say anything, because he couldn't read German, so when the banner appeared, he didn't stop his normal commentary to explain the sudden appearance, although he also wondered why the TV camera suddenly cut to the stands just as the game was about to start......

Therefore, many Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast of the game, although they knew that there must be a story on this banner, because the commentator did not say it, they did not know, so they could only continue to watch the game with doubts.

Fortunately, there is now a well-developed network, and on the Internet, the answer given by enthusiastic fans soon appeared - Bayern Munich fans are taunting Dortmund fans with this banner!

On the Internet, the unhappy Dortmund fans scolded, and the ugly Bayern Munich fans who were scolded also fought back.

The feud between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich spread from Germany to China, and from television to the Internet...... At this moment, the emotions conveyed by football transcend the barriers between language and words, and become the universal language.

The Dortmund players also saw the banner, because they were attacking in the first half against the visiting stands, and they didn't need to deliberately turn their heads or look up, they could see it with a straight look.

This sentence must have affected the mood of the Dortmund players, and although the departure of Götze is no longer discussed within the team, it is like a thorn in the hearts of many people...... If they don't say it, it doesn't mean they don't care.

Gotze's departure has made some Dortmund players wonder if they are not good enough to be teammates, and some people feel angry and unwilling to be betrayed.

Over the course of several weeks, these emotions have gradually settled. But now, it is stirred up by a slogan.

I have to say that such a move by Bayern Munich fans was premeditated. They weren't just trying to taunt the Dortmund fans, who would have been booed for a while, but they had no loss for them and no impact on the team – even without the slogan, the Dortmund fans would have booed the entire Bayern Munich team.

The most important thing for them to do this is to influence the Dortmund players on the opposite side, when the Dortmund players on the pitch cannot concentrate on the game, a small distraction and mistake in the master duel will tip the balance of victory.

From this point of view, Bayern Munich fans really deserve to be the best 12th person at Bayern Munich.

Dortmund fans were clearly unprepared for this hand of Bayern Munich fans, and after the ridicule and provocation of Bayern Munich fans, they could not come up with a response.

"It's a shame!" said Bruno, "Daddy", indignantly in the South Stand, and many people next to him showed the same expression.

At this moment, Dortmund fans can only express their displeasure with boos, just boos...... At this time, it seems particularly weak.

If Dortmund do lose at home, or are drawn by Bayern Munich, the taunts and provocations of Bayern Munich fans are simply the best assists.

Zhou Yi shook his head when he saw this slogan, it was simply logical confusion...... The TIFO made by the Dortmund fans is to express the search for the champion, and you should say "Götze is here" and where the champion is, what do you care about......

Does Götze represent the champion? Whoever wins Götze wins the championship?

That doesn't make sense......

Zhou Yi felt that this kind of verbal war for the sake of fighting was too low-level, he didn't bother to pay attention, and quickly refocused his attention on the court.

It doesn't matter how you fight before the game, the key is to win, winner takes all. Victory is the most powerful response to such provocations and ridicule.

The pre-match hiccup passed quickly, with the TV broadcast refocusing the camera on the pitch and players from both sides already in their positions.

Then Peter Gagelman, who was the referee of the game, blew the whistle for the start of the game!

"The dress rehearsals for the Champions League final have begun!" Marcel Leif said in a joking tone. "When the two teams met for the first time this season, Dortmund drew 1-1 away from Bayern Munich, when Zhou Yi's goal gave Dortmund hope of competing for the league title with Bayern Munich today......

"With the referee's whistle, the Bundesliga's 'national derby' began!" Duan Xin raised his voice and said. "The suspense of this season's league title will most likely end in this game...... Both teams are in very good form, and with their performances this season, it is fair and reasonable who wins the title in the end. But there is only one champion, and there must be one side to be sad......"

"This is the third meeting between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund this season, having previously met in the Super Cup and league and the German Cup. Bayern Munich are unbeaten with two wins and one draw. They won the Super Cup, knocking out Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup...... Statistically, Bayern Munich have the upper hand this season...... But don't forget, today's game was played at Dortmund's home stadium, at the West** Stadium!"

After the start of the game, the commentators began to introduce the audience to the situation of both sides of the game.

"Bayern Munich's performance this season can be described as 'earth-shaking' compared to the previous two seasons. Marcel Leif said. "At the start of the league, they beat Borussia Dortmund in the Super Cup, ending an embarrassing record of two previous seasons without a win against Dortmund. Then, after the start of the league game, they won eight in a row, creating the best start in history and establishing a 12-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. However, Dortmund's performances are gradually getting back on track and they are slowly catching up, especially in a draw away from Bayern Munich, who are only four points separating them. After the winter break, both teams were on fire, with Borussia Dortmund going all the way to a 11-game winning streak in the league. Of course, Bayern Munich is not to be outdone, and also maintains a complete victory to lead Dortmund by two points. Such a fierce pursuit battle is extremely rare in my career as a commentator......"

“...... The longest winning streak in a single season in the Bundesliga's 50-year history is held by Borussia Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg together......" Duan Xin is also teaching Chinese TV viewers about the strength of these two teams today. The former set this record first in the 1986-1987 season, when they won 10 consecutive games in a single season. In the 2008-2009 season, Wolfsburg equalled this record. The current longest winning streak in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich's 15-game winning streak in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. Borussia Dortmund beat Fortuna Dusseldorf at the end of the last league game and have equalled Bayern Munich's record of 15 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga, and if they can beat Bayern Munich in this game, they will overtake Bayern Munich to set a new record. If they can win until the end of the season, they will win the Bundesliga and surpass Inter Milan's record for the longest winning streak in Europe's top five leagues - turning a seventeen-game winning streak into eighteen...... But I think this is something that Bayern Munich definitely don't want to see, because Dortmund has surpassed their predecessors in the Bundesliga......"

After a 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich this season, Dortmund have been winning in the league since then, and have won 15 consecutive league games so far, while Bayern Munich was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 17th round of the league, and have been winning since then, winning 14 games so far.

If Bayern Munich can beat Dortmund on the road, it will not only establish the advantage of winning the championship, but also prevent Dortmund from surpassing Bayern Munich between the two seasons of 2003-2005 and set a new record, in addition, when stopping Dortmund, Bayern Munich can also tie the record of 15 consecutive wins, and the team that has the opportunity to set a new record will change from Dortmund to their Bayern Munich, which is really a win-win.

A game that carries the ownership of the league championship and the Bundesliga winning streak is really extremely rare......
