Chapter 193 The Atmosphere Has Changed

On April 24th, the entire European football world was discussing two things. One was that Bayern Munich destroyed Barcelona 4-0 at home. Does this mean that Barcelona's Cosmos era is over? Will Bayern Munich become the new Cosmos team?

The second thing was that Dortmund fans besieged the Dortmund team bus because they were dissatisfied with Gotze's choice.

These two things are discussed together and will be constantly linked by the media.

Some experts believe that April 23rd, which just passed, may be a turning point for German football, which means that Dortmund's dominance of German football for more than two consecutive seasons is coming to an end. German football will return to form after temporarily deviating from its course for two years. On track.

Moreover, Bayern Munich will solve their worries after completing the purge of the "rebel" Dortmund in Germany, and then begin their terrifying rule of European football. Think about Bayern Munich next season, with Dortmund's core talented player Gotze, and the talented coach Guardiola from Barcelona... The picture is so beautiful that people dare not look at it.

The only problem may be that the bar Heynckes set for Guardiola is too high - Bayern Munich is very likely to win the Triple Crown this season, and if Guardiola wants to build his career at Bayern Munich Dynasty, then at the very least it needs the triple crown, or even the six crowns in one year that he created in Barcelona.

But I believe that for Guardiola and the powerful Bayern Munich, this is not a problem...

As for Dortmund, although the Champions League semi-finals have not yet started, they have already been classified as "losers" by public opinion.

Tonight they will lose at home to Real Madrid, and ten days later they will be defeated by Bayern Munich at the same stadium, losing their last hope of winning the league.

"Zhou Yi is right, we have really become a 'sad soldier'." In the afternoon, Klopp was browsing the news on his tablet. "Even Matthias wrote an article and was worried about our future."

The full name of "Matthias" in his mouth is Matthias Dais. As the Dortmund team reporter and the editor-in-chief of the Dortmund page of "Ruhr News", he has good relationships with many people in the team. , and he often uses this relationship to publish exclusive news reports. Of course, he is also a loyal supporter of the Dortmund Club at all times, responsible for cheering for Dortmund in the media, or speaking out for the Dortmund Club, saying things that are inconvenient for them to say.

Such staunch Dortmund supporters now wrote in the Ruhr News to express their worries about the game that night:

“…The whole world is talking about Bayern Munich’s four-goal victory over Barcelona last night.

At the same time, we are hyping up the internal strife between our fans and the team... I am really worried about how much fighting power the team still has in such an atmosphere, and how much focus the players have on the game itself? I really want to call for unity. At this time, we need unity more than ever, but for the first time, I feel powerless about my own strength. Because calling for unity now is useless in today's abnormal atmosphere... It is said that during the evening game, the South Stand will have banners and slogans against Gotze. I understand the fans’ anger over Gotze’s choice. To be honest, I was also very painful and disappointed when I heard the news. However, the fans’ current actions can only push the team into the abyss step by step. There is no sense of emotion. There is no point in venting..."

"Real Madrid supporters must be very happy now," Klopp said.

"You're right, Jurgen. The official account of Marca today posted on Twitter and Facebook that they are looking forward to Real Madrid's victory," Kravitz said. "In a poll conducted online today by AS newspaper to predict the outcome of the match, 78% of people voted that Real Madrid would win."

"It doesn't sound too bad because there are still 22 percent of people who think we will win." Klopp joked to himself.

"No, only 12 percent thought we would win, and 10 percent thought the game would be a draw," Kravitz added.

Klopp could only shrug and spread his hands.

"I think this is really good news for us." Assistant coach Zeljko Buvac mused. "I have been thinking about the 'soldier theory' mentioned by Zhou Yi this morning. We can make a big fuss on this point. . But we don’t have much time left. The speech in the locker room before the game is key. Jurgen, you must give full play to your verbal skills and arouse the emotions of all players. As Zhou Yi said , if they don’t want to win, then it’s useless what we do. But if they want to win, it’s an excellent opportunity to fight back!”

"You have a point, Zeliko." Klopp nodded. "But regarding the pre-match speech... I actually have a better candidate than me..."

In the evening, when the Dortmund team's bus arrived at the West End Stadium, there were already more police than usual to maintain order. Normally, reporters could stand behind a wall of police officers and cover the area. They asked their questions to the players who got out of the car and used the camera to get a better shooting angle.

All in all, they are only one person away from the players.

But now, the police not only use human walls, but also use interception props such as Juma to isolate the crowd at a distance.

A reporter joked: "It's really an exaggeration. I thought it was the Pope from the Vatican who came..."

"It's impossible for the Pope to have such a scene. I think it's almost like the President of the United States..."

Speaking of the President of the United States, the two reporters laughed in unison.

The most powerful man on earth is very good at showing off. When he last visited Germany, he airlifted all the equipment and vehicles of the entire Guard. The German security department could only clear the way, and the United States was responsible for all other security work. , when taking to the streets, the swarm of American special vehicles looked really majestic.

The President of the United States does need such tight security.

So why does Dortmund need it?

This can't help but remind people of the scene that happened outside the gate of the Brackel training base yesterday.

Because of the developed media, the scene at that time had been spread throughout Germany and even the world. Everyone could see hundreds of Dortmund fans holding banners and chanting slogans standing in front of the Dortmund bus and forcing it to stop.

In the end, Dortmund had to come out with three people to comfort them, but it was still difficult to calm the fans' anger. It took ten minutes for them to retreat and make way for a passage.

As for why he gave way... that doesn't matter. The media will not report it. After all, what Zhou Yi said was a slap in the face of their media...

Seeing Dortmund's frightened appearance, many media reporters curled their lips - from this scene, Dortmund's defeat tonight can be predicted...

Fans have always been Dortmund's strongest support. When Dortmund's performance was at its worst and the club was almost bankrupt, their relationship with the fans was also very close. It can be said that the fans are the source of Dortmund's strength.

But now, for safety reasons, the police have completely separated the Dortmund team from the fans, and have also used horsebacks, which are only used to deal with violent demonstrators. This thing appeared outside a football match, which was very abrupt and contrary to protocol. It's also very glaring.

It seems to indicate that the close relationship between the team and the fans has developed ugly cracks.

Then I thought about the rumors that an extreme fan organization would use slogans, banners or TIFO to protest Gotze during the game...

How could Dortmund, which had lost the support of its fans, win against Real Madrid, which was looking for revenge like a wolf and a tiger?

When players from both sides were warming up, when Gotze appeared slightly closer to the south stand, there was a burst of boos from the south stand, which was very obvious and harsh.

Such a scene has never occurred before. If there are boos, they are directed at Dortmund's mortal enemies like Schalke 04 or Bayern Munich. It is not easy for Real Madrid to enjoy such treatment.

But Gotze enjoyed it.

Amid the boos, Gotze lowered his head without saying a word or making any response. He didn't even look up at the fans in the stands who were booing him.

From the moment he made the decision, he knew what he would face, but once the decision was made, there was no use regretting it now.

On-site DJ Norbert Dickel saw this scene on the sidelines and sighed helplessly.

What a great situation...it was going to be ruined before his eyes tonight.

What may be ruined is not only the hope of winning the Champions League, but also the future of this team.

The atmosphere has changed, and Gotze's departure is like a knife in Dortmund's heart.

That kind of heartbreaking, the deeper the love for Dortmund, the more painful and desperate it will be.

The Real Madrid players, who were also warming up, stopped to look at the half of the pitch where the Dortmund players were with interest during the warm-up, admiring the scene of "defection on the spot" in front of them.

Seeing this atmosphere, they believe more and more that they can beat Dortmund away from home. The only suspense is to win a few goals...

※※※

Soon, everyone ended their warm-up and left the court. Gotze left very quickly, almost jogging all the way to be the first to enter the tunnel.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still unwilling to stay on the court for even a second longer and bear the boos given to him by the fans. Many of those who booed him were the same people who cheered for him in the first place.

This contrast made him particularly uncomfortable.

When everyone returned to the locker room, the door was closed, and the noise outside was also shut out.

The players began to change out of the clothes they had worn during the warm-up. The starting players put on their jerseys directly, while the substitute players put on their jackets.

Some people are busy stuffing shin guards into their socks, others are wrapping tape on their ankles, and some are checking whether the spikes of their sneakers are firm...

Klopp pushed the door open and then closed it again. No one looked up at him.

Klopp observed in the locker room for a while, and after seeing that everyone was almost busy with what they were doing, he clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to him.

"In ten minutes, this game is about to start. Before the game starts, as usual, I want to say a few words to you," Klopp said. "But today I changed my mind. I want someone else to say these things for me, because I think he said it better than me."

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to assistant coach Buvac. In their minds, the only person qualified to speak on behalf of the head coach was the assistant coach.

But Klopp waved his hand and pointed at Zhou Yi, who was sitting in his seat.

"Come on, Zhou Yi, say a few words to your teammates!"

Everyone was stunned, including Zhou Yi himself. (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. )
