145. Centennial of the Great War: Ruhr Derby

The third round of the league.

Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke 04.

Ruhr derby.

Chu Chao carefully learned about this history and found some very interesting details:

Schalke 04, founded in 1904, is estimated to be derived from this.

Dortmund, on the other hand, was founded in 1909.

Two first derbys, in 1925.

That's almost a hundred years.

A hundred years of love and hatred.

What is particularly wonderful is that the history of the Great War in the past 100 years has really responded to the sentence, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

From 1925 onwards, Schalke beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in their first derby.

In the 18 years since, Schalke has won every game, and Dortmund has not won once!

Not once!

was pressed and beaten for a full eighteen years.

It wasn't until 1943 that Dortmund finally defeated their rivals for the first time.

That was the day when fans burst into tears uncontrollably, shouting "One day Dot, one day Dot", unwilling to leave for a long time.

Godhead...... This is the condensation.

In the decades that followed, the two sides won and lost each other, and there were many farces and famous scenes on the court.

For example, fanatical fans rush into the stadium and hug the player who scored the goal, causing chaos at the scene, and the police have to enter the stadium to maintain order, resulting in a player ...... Unfortunately, he was bitten on the butt by a police dog.

Another example: an eighty-year-old Dort veteran fan, unfortunately passed away while watching the game, whether the home team or the away team fans, they were unusually quiet to watch the whole game, no longer the previous fanaticism, until the end of the game, only in unison sang the Dort team song "You will never walk alone", which made people tearful.

Until now......

Basically, Dortmund pressed Schalke 04 to play.

Perhaps, Schalke's fans are also preparing to lie dormant for "eighteen years" in silence, waiting for ...... A dog has his day.

Look at these......

Chu Chao suddenly had more patience and confidence in his "tree planting plan" in his heart.

A club can hold on for nearly a hundred years, and if it loses for 18 years in a row, it can still hold on until the moment of turnaround.

Ten years, in fact, is really nothing.

Believe in the future.

Believe in yourself too.

……

August 20th.

Saturday.

Westphalian Stadium.

It's two p.m. local time in Germany.

Domestically, it's 9 p.m.

Prime time, coupled with the popularity of the Ruhr derby, has already attracted a large number of fans to wait early.

The yellow waves at the scene are vast.

But the momentum of the Shakhtar fans is also almost evenly divided.

When Chu Chao stepped on the field, he was stabbed by the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, and he instinctively thought of the 100-meter race he had in the 80,000-person gymnasium in Shanghai.

Sonic attack!

In this game, the task given by head coach Terzic is to win.

You can't afford to lose.

It is better to lose the Champions League than to lose the local derby.

If you lose the Champions League, at most you are not as good as others, and you will start all over again.

If you lose the derby, get ready for the fury of the club and the fans!

If you love deeply, you will hate deeply.

In fact, this Schalke 04 team is really not strong.

The most valuable player in the team, but only 6 million euros.

It's their No.6 midfielder, Klaus, a 21-year-old German youngster.

As for Dort's side, Terzic has already released all the main forces.

Elite to the fullest!

……

The first half of the game started quickly.

As soon as the game began, Chu Chao suddenly felt that although the opponent's strength was not strong, it was really ...... Tenacious and fierce.

This is the effect of mental will on the strength of the player.

Everybody is fighting.

The strength of the hard work is not weaker than himself at all.

even made Chu Chao feel that he was playing with eleven death row prisoners, and they would be acquitted if they won the game.

From the first minute, you will be completely in the rhythm of the meat grinder.

Every ball must be grabbed!

In less than five minutes into the game, the referee had already whistled twice, but for the time being, he had not yet played a card, only a verbal warning.

However, the war has already entered the white heat.

The positions of the two sides are mainly concentrated in the midfield area.

Schalke deployed heavy troops in midfield.

The back line adopts the tactic of "making offside".

The three players of the Hornets are all the kind of demons who start up very quickly and run faster, and this tactic is undoubtedly targeted.

Chu Chao has already been blown offside once.

It's a little uncomfortable.

You can only pay more attention to your position and timing of your catch.

The eighth minute of the game.

Bellingham is tackled.

The opponent's No. 10 midfielder, Sals, received a yellow card.

However, Bellingham seemed to be a little seriously injured, and after a few adjustments, he couldn't get up well for a while, so he had to call the team doctor to enter.

Fortunately, after the examination, there was nothing serious.

A few minutes later, he was back on the pitch.

It's just that he inevitably starts to cringe a little.

He was in his early twenties.

He is worth 100 million.

He is a technical stream.

He eats on his feet......

In case of......

If you really want to be seriously injured by these savage miners, it may be an irreparable blow to your career.

Chu Chao soon discovered this.

The brow furrowed slightly.

Bellingham's form slipped, and the operation of the midfield suddenly became less fluid and began to become sluggish.

So Chu Chao had to retreat frequently to take over some of his functions.

I'm in the middle of the game now, and I can't say anything more to him.

Besides, even if you say it, it may not work.

Young star players will never compromise when it comes to their physical condition.

Bellingham's problems are still unresolved......

The twelfth minute of the first half.

Bad news on the field is sudden.

Royce was injured again.

He clutched his ankles and rolled on the ground in pain.

This ball was originally a rapid forward insertion, a half-goal, and Royce also really fought hard and took the initiative to face Daoshan.

The same goes for the opposing defenders.

The two men collided almost like Mars hitting the Earth.

Reus is not feeling well now, and the opposing players are also feeling bad.

Both of them were rolling on the ground, looking particularly miserable.

Two stretchers entered the venue and carried the two men down.

Whereas...... The game continues.

Chu Chao: ......

This is the derby?

This is the derby!

……

Sidelines.

Royce was examined by the team doctor and confirmed that he was completely unplayable.

The 34-year-old veteran has multiple injuries on his body and ruptured cruciate ligaments......

He's scarred himself!

And now, although it is still uncertain how serious the injury is, everyone's heart is heavy.

Perhaps, even, it is possible for Royce to say goodbye to the green field.

Head coach Terzic had to make the first substitution in the first half of the first half.

He brought on a young midfielder.

The No. 7 in the team, Reina, 20 years old, is worth 35 million euros.

Perhaps, Reina was originally prepared for Royce.

After coming on the field, although Reina's expression was slightly heavy, in his eyes, Chu Chao still saw a trace of excitement.

"Chu!"

"Come on!"

"I'll give you a steady stream of bullets!"

"Let's beat the opponent together!"

He ran towards Chu Chao for the first time, patted Chu Chao's shoulder, and said with a fighting spirit.

Chu Chao nodded silently and smiled reluctantly.

In his heart, he sighed slightly.

It is a pity that the front wave dies on the beach, but for the back wave, it is the best opportunity to get on top!

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Reyna after coming on the field......

Chu Chao really felt that it was much smoother than before.

He dares to fight.

He's about to prove himself!

He's only twenty years old!

He's physical, he's fast, he's got good technique.

The balance of the game began to tilt in Dort's favor.

At this time, there are no more veterans in the front court.

Six youngsters.

Moukoko, Adeyemi, Chu Chao, Bellingham, Reina, and another Brett.

The eldest, Brett, is just 26 years old.

A storm of youth is gradually ringing out!

A few minutes later.

Another offense.

Bellingham was behind the halfway line and faced the fierce scramble of the opposing defender and split the ball as if it were a ticking time bomb.

Reyna receives the ball.

Another defender of the opposing team rushed up again.

Reina's body firmly held the position, and then a beautiful sideways start, passed the defender, and stuffed the ball to Chu Chao.

At the moment when he hit the ball, Chu Chao deliberately waited for a second to confirm that he was not in an offside position before he started quickly.

Almost in just a second, Chu Chao made up for the lost time and passed the opposing defender.

Jump past the defender without the ball, and then receive the ball, and there is already a big penalty area with no one in front of you!

A defender on the left side of the opponent almost threw the whole person out and came up with a sliding tackle with all his might.

However, Chu Chao had already taken precautions against this.

Pick up the ball lightly, jump high yourself, and jump over him!

Then, there's ...... Shot!

The ball was close, unguarded, and full of power!

Like a cannonball full of rage, it went straight to the goal.

The goalkeeper flew sideways, his fingertips touching the ball, but at such a speed, he couldn't completely block it.

A hint of pain appeared on his face.

Even with the protection of gloves, I still feel that my fingers are like being stepped on, and the pain is quickly numb.

And this ball...... After a slight line change, he plunged headlong into the net!

First goal!

Twenty-sixth minute of the game!

The Dort fans in the stadium immediately began to cheer wildly, and there was a huge roar, as if they were about to overturn the roof of the stadium.

After Chu Chao scored, he quickly ran towards the stands.

Lift up his outer jersey to reveal the white vest lining inside, with a name tattooed on it, Carl!

Stripping celebrations is not allowed, yellow card actions.

However, no one cares about picking up clothes.

After the display, Chu Chao took off the "two tendons" from it, wet it, and put it next to the stands.

Cal.

You're welcome.

I've sent you.

Original...... flavored.

……

After scoring the first goal, the game resumed.

There is inertia to success.

After the first successful anti-offside, Dort's goal account was completely opened.

Another offense.

Bellingham delivers a clever pass that Moukoko scurries in!

It's a good ball too!

Not offside at all!

He cut inside sharply and faced the goal, and the opposing defenders had no time to chase back.

Moukoko just struck an easy shot into the back of the net.

2:0!

Chu Chao rushed over, originally wanting to hug him, but ...... As soon as I arrived, I smelled a strong body odor, hesitated, and only slapped his palm lightly.

Dude, you stink!

It's the same as the shell Lang fermented.

It's not that it smells like a fox.

It's the natural body odor, mixed with the scent of antiperspirant dew.

After Dort's two goals, Schalke's players became more and more frantic and rude.

If you can get started, there will definitely be no more beeps.

Those who can take the initiative to fight physically will never play skills with you.

Now it doesn't look like a meat grinder on the field.

It's a bone crusher.

The six players in the front court, each with their jerseys, were dirty, as if they had rolled on the lawn.

I don't know how many times I fell per capita.

Only 36 minutes have passed in the first half.

And the whole team of Schalke has already got five Topaz cards.

Foul tactics are probably part of their tactics as well.

At least eliminate a lot of chances to be scored.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

As a player who is focused on in the frontcourt, Chu Chao has naturally suffered the most violations.

Pushed by hand, pushed by shoulders, secretly topped by knees, stuck in waist eyes, secretly stepped on by shoe spikes, shoveled ......

Most of them are very dirty small actions, and there are also big actions that are forced to happen.

There is a guy who even wants to take advantage of the referee's inattention and dig out his crotch!

This......

The intensity of the ......

Chu Chao's anger was really completely stimulated.

Either you kill me today, or I'll kill you!"

Fuck sportsmanship!

This is war!

You deserve to die, and you earn a little blood!

……

A free kick in front.

Chu Chao couldn't help it.

With a fierce blast, the ball is not aimed at the goal, but towards the human wall.

Chu Chao's aim is very accurate, and the ball has almost no arc, no rotation, a straight line!

Bang!

One of the opponent's guards, with one hand to protect his chest and the other to protect his crotch, jumped slightly.

However, the ball hit him straight on his collarbone and hit part of his chin, and almost instantly, he let out a violent scream and fell.

Lying on the ground, spitting, red, full of blood.

The ball hit him and deflected, and Moukoko on the left quickly cut in for a follow-up shot.

It's just that......

was directly attacked by the opposing defender and pushed hard.

Moukoko was pushed several steps away, sat on the ground, innocently spread his hands, and looked at the referee.

The referee rushed up quickly.

The situation in front of us is complicated, chaotic, and hot, and how to deal with it clearly tests the referee's law enforcement level.

Fortunately, the referee has a clear idea.

He ran to Schalke's injured defender as soon as possible.

Check the injury and call the team doctor.

Hurry up and carry him out.

It is the part of the mouth, and when the jaw is hit by the ball, the huge force is blessed, and the flesh is bitten, and the teeth are loosened.

It looks scary.

However, as long as there is no concussion, it is not a big deal.

After the injured player came off the pitch, the referee ran again to the defender who had brought down Moukoko at Schalke, gave a verbal warning, and then awarded Dort a free-kick in front.

No cards were played.

Both sides are barely acceptable.

For Chu Chao......

Although this small conflict was caused by Chu Chao.

But in terms of rules, it's not Chu Chao's business at all.

Another free kick!

Chu Chao is very happy.

At this time, Reina leaned into Chu Chao's ear, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Chu, boom them!" Use your heavy artillery! ”

"Just blast at people!"

"As long as your strength is big enough, their next moves will be much smaller, and they won't dare to foul in the front court."

Chu Chao glanced at him.

What the do you say?

Lao Tzu had planned to do this for a long time.

Take a deep breath.

Chu Chao runs.

Again, the toes are fiercely straight, the thigh muscles exert force, and the volley is vigorous.

It's still the same as the last ball, it's exactly the second shell.

Schalke 04's defensive wall made instinctive dodge moves to this ball, and he didn't even have the consciousness of blocking the eye-catching with his body.

A foul is a foul, that is an active action, and if you eat a card, you will eat a card, and the probability of injury is not large.

But, this ball ......

But if it hits people, it will definitely be a big problem!

That's equivalent to ......

Originally, everyone was just fighting in physical combat, physical competition, and it was extremely fair, but this kind of ball was a proper weapon attack.

The ball speed of Chu Chao's free kick just now has been counted.

Up to 139 km/h!

Although the ball is round and elastic, it is also extremely terrifying at such a speed.

The ball passed through the middle of the human wall, and the goalkeeper didn't have time to react, so it went straight into the net and hung it on the net.

After Chu Chao glanced at it, he ran directly back to his own half and waited for the restart.

That's it!

The anti-offside position, plus a free kick, is enough for the opposing player to eat a pot.

……

Until the end of the first half, the score remained at 3:0.

But......

Schalke has already changed three people.

The first one was injured in the foot with Royce.

The second was a jaw injury from Chu Chao's free kick.

The third is just now, Chu Chao kicked another free kick and hit the crotch "very unfortunately", and ended up extremely painful and tragic.

As for Chu Chao......

Chu Chao couldn't count how many times he had been scolded by the other party.

The jerseys were all torn.

Dort's jersey sponsor for the new season is Puma, Blind Chicken Design, the material and fabric of the jersey have been changed to environmentally friendly materials, and the quality is very watery.

This torn jersey, before leaving the field in the first half, Chu Chao threw it directly to the south stand.

And then it was robbed like crazy.

Almost completely torn to shreds.

Rain and dew are evenly wet.

After the lucky fan tore the "original rag strip", he wrapped it directly around his hand.

Meritorious Shirts!

Even if it is broken, it is even more commemorative than the intact one!

This is all a testimony to the hard work!

……

Dressing room.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Royce's injury, which has been thoroughly determined, is a fractured right ankle.

He's got too many old injuries to accumulate before, and it's not entirely because of this game.

After a hundred days, in the next three months, perhaps, Royce will say goodbye to the green field.

His eyes were a little red, but he still forced a smile.

Comforting, encouraging, teammates.

Chu Chao walked towards Bellingham at this time.

Unceremoniously angry with him: "Bellingham, what the hell were you doing in the first half!" ”

"Are you worth much? Afraid of getting hurt? You're a coward! ”

"Football stadiums don't need stars! What is needed is a warrior! Follow me in the second half! If I see you back down again, I won't spare you! ”

"Or go to the bench! Guard the water dispenser! Or shine my shoes! ”

"It's definitely safe there!"

Chu Chao's emotions and tone were extremely intense, like an angry lion.

Bellingham pursed his lips tightly, looking nervous and a little helpless.

He felt bullied.

However, this matter is indeed my own fault.

In the first half, when he flinched several times, he was even booed by the home fans.

Taking a deep breath, he silently lowered his head.

Royce couldn't help but play a round at this time: "Okay, don't argue, we're leading now, aren't we?" ”

'Bellingham still needs a little bit of time, he needs to grow and I'm sure he'll adjust quickly in the second half.'

"Oh yes, my captain's armband...... I discussed it with the head coach just now, and we agreed that Chu, during the time I was injured, you should wear it. ”

Chu Chao was slightly stunned.

Captain?

Is there a wage increase?

Haha, just kidding......

If you don't go up, you have to!
