Chapter 155 Fierce Ruhr Derby

The Ruhr area derby is the most watched game in this round of the league, and it is also scheduled to be the last appearance this Sunday.

Prior to this, Bayern Munich had narrowly defeated Dusseldorf 3:2 at home. Although the process was a bit thrilling, Bayern Munich won in the end and got three points, which was enough.

The two teams, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, seemed to be playing Russian roulette, shooting themselves in the head with a revolver loaded with only one bullet. Bayern Munich escaped this time. The gun is now in Dortmund's hands, and the threat and pressure of death has also fallen on Dortmund.

Last season, Schalke 04 played a Ruhr derby at their home stadium. Schalke 04 watched helplessly as Dortmund defeated them at the Schalke Stadium and stepped on their corpses to win the championship. This was very important to Schalke 04. It's a huge shame.

Now they have a great chance for revenge.

If Dortmund can lose the league championship because of losing to them, then Schalke 04 will feel very proud. Their hatred for their mortal enemy makes them not care whether Bayern Munich will benefit from it. They just want to see Dortmund suffer and despair.

It can be seen from the starting list announced before the game that even though there will be a Champions League quarter-final match at home with Galatasaray three days later, they have no intention of saving in this Ruhr area derby. What strength.

The Schalke 04 fans were also very enthusiastic. After the game started, they kept booing the Dortmund players. Whenever a Dortmund player takes the ball, there will be a burst of harsh boos in the sky.

Among them, Zhou Yi received the biggest boos.

On the one hand, it is because he is the most threatening player in Dortmund, and on the other hand, it is also because of the past between him and Schalke 04. The most famous one is that he used Newton's second law to humiliate media reporters who supported Schalke 04. At that time, this incident made the entire Schalke 04 supporter camp the laughing stock of German public opinion.

So in the eyes of Dortmund fans, how cute Zhou Yi is, in the eyes of Schalke 04 fans, how hateful he is.

Fortunately, the Schalke 04 fans did not hate Zhou Yi's good friend Yang Muge. Of course, this is also because Yang Muge's performance was outstanding and his attitude was very professional. He will never talk about his relationship with Zhou Yi. As long as he plays, he will definitely defend Zhou Yi harder than anyone else. These Schalke 04 fans all see it, and they are not fools, of course not. Will offend his own players because of an opponent.

To put it bluntly, if it was Yang Muge two years ago, no one would care about him at all. But now Yang Muge, even if Schalke 04 does not want him, he still has plenty of places to go. Many teams in Europe hope to get such a low-key and hard-working midfield engineer. Nowadays, there are too few midfielders who are willing to stay behind and defend. Since the organizational midfielder became popular, every midfielder has the heart to be uneasy about the status quo and have the courage to attack. If a defensive midfielder can't intervene in the offense, he seems to be embarrassed to say that he is a defensive midfielder.

Under such circumstances, if the coach is not allowed to cross the center line, Yang Muge, who can really miss the center line in the entire game, is really the favorite in the eyes of many coaches.

In this game, Yang Muge's task is to curb Zhou Yi's performance. Of course, his defense against Zhou Yi is not an unprincipled personal defense. It does not mean that he must follow Zhou Yi wherever he goes. He still has to be on his own. position.

If Zhou Yi only fails to come up in the second half when Dortmund attacks, Yang Muge will not come up and just defend in his own position.

But if Zhou Yi crosses the center line and enters Schalke 04's midfield, then he will be locked by Yang Muge, and it will not be so easy to get rid of him.

In the fifth minute, Zhou Yi picked up the ball in the frontcourt. As soon as he turned around, he collided with Yang Muge, and the ball at his feet was also stabbed away by Yang Muge. Then both of them fell to the ground,

However, referee Gagelman did not blow the whistle.

However, Yang Muge poked the football out before falling and completed a steal. He poked the football to Draxler, allowing Schalke 04 to launch a counterattack.

Zhou Yi also seemed helpless about Gagelman's decision, but he also knew that this was the characteristic of the Ruhr derby. If there was no physical contact, how could it be called "Germany's most popular derby"?

Yang Muge pulled him up and ran away. Being able to remember to pull him up is enough to show that Yang Muge is very humane. If it had been anyone else, he might have yelled at Zhou Yi and accused him of diving...

※※※

Schalke 04 has indeed gone through very detailed preparations for this game. Yang Muge's defense against Zhou Yi is just a microcosm of Schalke 04's defense in this game.

In response to Dortmund's offensive tactics, Schalke 04 head coach Jens Keller's countermeasures were all kinds of physical pressing, not just for Zhou Yi, but for everyone in Dortmund.

Even when the Dortmund players pass the football back to goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Schalke 04's starting forwards Farfan and Huntelaar will have one of them to press the ball, even if Weidenfeller can do it with a big kick. Make their pressing useless.

This level of pressing makes it difficult for Dortmund players.

Because this is a Ruhr derby, the pressing is not just a pressing. It also includes a lot of physical contact. These physical contacts may be called fouls in ordinary games, but in the Ruhr derby, it is indeed a matter of course. If it is also If a foul is called, the game will not proceed. Therefore, the referee Gagelman's standards were relatively wide, which ensured that the game could proceed smoothly, just like the ball between Yang Muge and Zhou Yi just now.

However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of this is that it is difficult to control the tempers of the players on both sides...

Of course, the Ruhr area derby is known for its popularity, so this is quite normal.

In the 12th minute, Schalke 04 relied on their crazy pressing in the frontcourt to steal a chance directly from the feet of the Dortmund players.

Sven Bender was surrounded when he picked up the ball in the backcourt. In one second, he had no chance to play the ball. He could only choose to protect the football. If a Schalke 04 player tried to steal his ball, There is a high chance of a foul.

But when Hogle came up and knocked him to the ground and took away the football, the referee Gagelman did not call Hogle a foul. Instead, he signaled the game to continue.

After Hogel intercepted the ball, he handed the football to the full-back Uchida Atsuto who stepped in. The Japanese international passed the football to the center, and then the forward Draxler scored the football into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller. .

"1:0!! Julian Draxler!!" Marcel Leif shouted. "Schalke 04 takes the lead!"

When the football flew into the Dortmund goal, huge cheers rang out over the Schalke Stadium.

"Schalke 04 is ahead, but I think the happiest people now are probably not the Schalke 04 fans, but the Bayern Munich fans!" Chinese commentator Duan Xin also joked. Then he laughed.

There were many voices on the Chinese Internet calling him a Bayern Munich fan...

It is indeed no secret that Duan Xin is a Bayern Munich fan, everyone knows this.

The domestic Bayern Munich fans ridiculed those domestic Dortmund fans who scolded Duan Xin because they could not afford to lose.

Fans from both sides started fighting on the domestic Internet.

※※※

While Chinese fans from both sides were fighting online, the match between Dortmund and Schalke became increasingly fierce.

The Dortmund players believed that Schalke 04's goal was due to a foul, so when the Schalke 04 players celebrated the goal, they collectively protested to the referee Gagelmann. However, their protests were ineffective, and Gagelman did not deny the goal.

So after the game started, some changes occurred in the mentality of the Dortmund players who were lagging behind.

Their movements are also getting bigger and bigger.

Schalke 04 was naturally not to be outdone, so the scene became more and more heated.

In the 23rd minute, Dortmund's full-back Piszczek received the first yellow card of the game. This was considered by the Dortmund players as evidence that referee Gagelman favored the home team Schalke 04. ——Everyone plays like this, why should we give yellow cards to our people but not theirs?

But soon, in the 28th minute, Gagelman also gave Schalke 04 forward Huntelaar a yellow card for making too many moves during the fight, which was considered a balance.

However, this kind of balance is of no help to this game and has no meaning... (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
