Chapter 190 Don’t Expand Internal Conflicts
On April 23rd, it is reasonable to say that Bayern Munich's home match against Barcelona is the most eye-catching thing, but now the transfer news of Gotze between Bayern Munich and Dortmund has become the focus of everyone's attention. Nature's Novel WWW. ⒉
Everyone is talking about it.
Many neutral media believe that Bayern Munich's move can be said to be Hoeness's favorite, killing two birds with one stone, and it is very, very cruel to Dortmund, so cruel that it is almost fatal.
Bayern Munich poached Gotze, which strengthened its own strength, weakened Dortmund's strength, and damaged their morale. It is no exaggeration to say that this poaching operation even fundamentally shaken the cultural concept of the Dortmund club. The damage to Dortmund goes beyond the loss of a talented player.
It will make it difficult for Dortmund to get rid of "cannot keep people" and "no matter who it is, it is difficult to escape the fate of using Dortmund as a springboard"... similar labels.
And this label, or impression, will have a profound impact on Dortmund.
It will make every player who comes to Dortmund think that Dortmund is just a springboard to a bigger club. They will not stay in this team for a long time, and they will not have any feelings for this team. Even from the day they entered Dortmund, all they thought about was when to leave Dortmund.
This is a kind of destruction of Dortmund's football culture. It makes Dortmund unable to retain talents and naturally cannot threaten Bayern Munich's dominance.
Although both Shaheen and Shinji Kagawa left Dortmund before, their departure and Gotze's departure have completely different meanings in the minds of Dortmund fans.
After all, neither Shaheen nor Shinji Kagawa are German players, but Gotze is considered the core and leader of the future of German football. He is even called the "German Messi".
His significance to Dortmund is completely unmatched by Shaheen and Shinji Kagawa.
As a result, such a future core player of Dortmund who was considered to be a promising player was poached by Bayern Munich so easily.
Many Dortmund fans couldn't help but feel despair while being sad - are we just cultivating reserves for Bayern Munich? Even if we beat Bayern Munich in the league title race for two consecutive seasons, do our players still only want to play for Bayern Munich?
Shaheen originally wanted to leave, and he went to Real Madrid. Shinji Kagawa went to Manchester United, and none of them went to Bayern Munich.
But Gotze went and went to Bayern Munich as the future core of Dortmund.
The impact of this incident on Dortmund is indeed too great.
From morning to noon, and then into the afternoon, everyone was talking about Gotze going to Bayern Munich.
Although the transfer has not actually taken place, it can be seen from the statements of both clubs that Gotze's move to Bayern Munich is already a certainty and there is no doubt about it.
Dortmund fans couldn't even stop this from happening, they could only watch, which made them feel very powerless.
※※※
At the end of the day's training, the Dortmund team boarded the bus at the Brackel training base, and then they will go to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's game.
Although this is a home game, Klopp will also require that the entire team rest in the hotel the night before every home game and are not allowed to go home. This facilitates management and prevents players from going out to play every night, which ultimately affects the state of the game.
Before every home match day, when the team board the bus at the Brackell training base, they are greeted by fans.
But today, hundreds of fans gathered outside the training base, but not to see off the team.
When the bus slowly drove out of the training base, the players on the bus saw the fans gathered outside the base. They held banners and roared at the bus.
"Why?!"
That's the question on the banner.
This is the only thing the puzzled Dortmund fans want to ask Gotze. This was also the question that Dortmund players had when they heard the news.
Why?
Why leave?
Why go to rival Bayern Munich?
The players in the bus were silent as they looked out the window at the fans who had blocked the road. The inside of the bus fell into a deathly silence.
Gotze sat in his seat with his head lowered and did not look out the window.
The sound insulation effect in the sealed compartment is very good, and you can't hear the noise outside clearly, but you don't need to listen to the sound, you only need to see the expressions on the faces of the fans to know what kind of storm it is outside.
In addition to angry and disappointed fans, there are also a large number of media reporters outside reporting on the news of the Dortmund fans' protest.
For a team that is about to participate in the Champions League semi-finals, such a scene is simply too demoralizing - their fans are so high-profile against themselves, this is internal strife.
The training base had to call in security guards to open a passage for the bus. But the number of security guards was too small, and their appearance made the fans even more angry. In the face of the angry wave, the security guards couldn't even build a human wall and were washed to pieces.
Seeing the players' bus trapped in the angry crowd, unable to move, the sky was getting dark. No one knew how long they would stay here.
The silence in the carriage continued, and this embarrassing silence fully demonstrated how low the morale of the team was now...
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly stood up from his seat and walked towards the door. At the door, he said to the bus driver: "Please open the door, thank you."
The bus driver was frightened by Zhou Yi's words, and Zhou Yi also attracted the attention of everyone else in the bus.
Assistant coach Buvac stood up and asked: "Zhou Yi, what are you going to do?"
"Someone has to solve this matter..." Zhou Yi said, pointing to the fans blocking the road outside the front windshield. "We can't stop here forever."
"We have called security..." Before Buvac could finish his words, a hat worn by a security guard was thrown against the car window by angry fans. It made a bang sound and startled many people.
"Obviously, this is of no use..." Zhou Yi spread his hands.
"We can't let you go down anymore, it's too dangerous outside..." Buvac frowned.
"It's okay, they're not targeting me." Zhou Yi didn't care. He turned back to the bus driver and repeated his request.
The bus driver looked back at the team's head coach Klopp, who nodded: "Open the door, I'll go down with you."
With that said, he stood up and walked to the door.
"I'll go too." Captain Kyle also stood up and walked towards the car door.
With a sound of exhaust, the car door was slowly opened.
And the noise outside the carriage also came in.
"Tell me this clearly! Why are you going to Bayern Munich!!"
"You don't deserve to be our pride!"
The fans' protests came in and fell on everyone's ears.
Zhou Yi jumped out of the car first, followed by Klopp and Kyle.
The fans saw the car door being opened and the two players and the head coach getting out of the car. The shouts gradually became smaller and smaller until they disappeared. They just looked at the three people. The reporters quickly gathered around and pointed their guns at them.
"I understand everyone's mood, but I still hope that everyone can make way for us. We are going to the hotel to rest. There is a very important game waiting for us tomorrow..." Zhou Yi said.
A fan stood up, and it turned out to be the leader of a fan organization. He said to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, this is none of your business. We just hope that Gotze will come down and confront us face to face and tell us what happened to him." I thought, why go to Bayern Munich!"
As soon as Zhou Yi wanted to speak, Klopp next to him took over the conversation: "Player transfer is a personal decision, and no one has the right to interfere. And he will go to Bayern Munich next season. So far, he has They are all still our Dortmund players, and I hope everyone can focus on the overall situation of the team. The Champions League semi-finals are very important, and our opponents are not easy to deal with."
Captain Kyle also added: "I think when Mario is willing to talk about this, he will naturally do it. Now you force him to come out and give you an explanation... Of course you can block us here for a dozen hours, and then forced him to come out and apologize or something, but I don’t think that would be what he really meant.”
"This is an excuse! When will he be willing to say it? I don't think he will be willing to say it even after going to Munich! What we need is for him to explain it to us in person, instead of hiding like a turtle!" Then A leading fan leader said, waving his fist.
His words also aroused the excitement of the fans present. They waved their fists and shouted, asking Gotze to come forward and explain clearly.
Klopp and Kyle were powerless in the face of such a situation. It was obvious that the other party was targeting Gotze, and no matter what they said, they would not listen.
The scene of hundreds of people chanting slogans together is still very shocking, but this kind of shock is not worth enjoying for Dortmund players and coaches, because this kind of excitement often contains dangerous flames, who knows when It was ignited and then exploded...
Seeing how the situation was changing, Klopp was wondering whether to call the police.
The reporters surrounding them were very excited. The more chaotic the situation in front of them, the happier they were, because it meant there was big news!
After Gotze's transfer to Bayern Munich, if there is still explosive news such as confrontation between Dortmund fans and players and internal strife, at least there will be no focus on the incident in the next week.
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly stood up and raised his arms to indicate that he had something to say.
He kept his arms raised until the fans at the scene turned their attention to him, and his voice became quieter and quieter until it finally disappeared.
Although Zhou Yi is young and is not the captain of the team, whether he is the first captain or the second or third captain, he still has prestige in the eyes of the fans. After all, his performance on the court has never disappointed. Of course fans are willing to listen to what such a person has to say.
"Let me say a few words." Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhou Yi finally put down his arms and spoke. "Now, things have happened now. Whether you like it or not, you can't change the outcome. So there's actually no point in doing this." He pointed at the fans surrounding the bus and said.
"Since it is irreversible, shouldn't we take a long-term view at this time and look ahead? I think if we lose in the next game, our enemies will be very happy. So go back, sir Guys, don't let some people see Dortmund's joke."
He set his sights on those media reporters.
As soon as this statement came out, the excited fans immediately turned their attention to the reporters, which made the reporters feel very embarrassed when they were caught off guard... Obviously, Zhou Yi was trying to deflect the conflict!
But the fans really listened to him. As soon as he said it, everyone turned their attention to the reporter, and their eyes were very unfriendly!
The Chinese reporters present also had to admire Zhou Yi's ability to "pass the ball" - what was originally a conflict among the people was now brought to a consensus with the outside world.
If there are internal conflicts, they are still discussed behind closed doors. But if it involves external struggle, it must be consistent with the outside world.
Dortmund is a very united city, and the fans here are naturally very united. They are not without internal conflicts, but as long as they have disputes with the outside world, they will always put foreign war first.
Zhou Yi's words were bloody. When the Dortmund fans saw the reporters holding long guns and short cannons with expectations on their faces, they would naturally know that what Zhou Yi said was true.
So after a brief silence, the leading fan leader made a gesture, and all the fans silently pushed to both sides to make way for the bus.
Klopp and everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhou Yi turned around and was about to get in the car, the fan leader stopped him: "We listen to you, but you can't deceive our feelings in the next game! I know it may be difficult for you now, but You must win!”
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem."
After saying that, he turned around and boarded the bus.
The car door slowly closed, drove forward along the passage given by the fans, and finally left the Brakel training base. (To be continued.)
