Champion’s Heart

Chapter 68 1 Nail

Dortmund players saw a sea of ​​people outside the stadium and thought they were Napoli fans waiting to enter. . Fastest update

But when they changed their clothes and went out to warm up, they realized that the fans outside were definitely not fans waiting to enter, because the stadium could not accommodate that many people, and more importantly, there were already about 20,000 people inside the St. Paul Stadium. Celebrity fans are sitting in their seats...

The on-site reporters and commentators knew more information than the Dortmund players.

"...The Sao Paulo Stadium opened nearly five hours before the game. At that time, nearly 10,000 Naples fans entered the stadium and took seats..." Marcel Leif, as an on-site commentator and front-line reporter, was talking to the rear This is what he said during the studio connection.

The hosts and guests in the German studio marveled at the concept of entering the venue five hours in advance. Those fans had to sit in front of an empty stadium for five hours! But there are still nearly 10,000 people willing to do this, which shows how crazy the city of Naples is about football.

Dortmund will challenge such a team in such an away atmosphere. I'm afraid the prospect is not as wonderful as people think...

Zhou Yi changed his clothes and warmed up on the court. He lowered his head and dribbled the ball, but suddenly found a flash of light in the green turf. Generally speaking, the flash might be caused by the water droplets on the grass blades reflecting the light after the stadium had just been watered. However, this flash was a little different because Not the glitter on the surface of the turf, but inside the turf…

So he stopped and bent down to search for the flash. When he took the "flash" in his hand, he was surprised to find that it turned out to be an iron nail about ten centimeters!

The tip of the iron nail shone coldly under the lights of the stadium...

Zhou Yi was speechless. He had been to so many away games. He had seen a "mangy head"-shaped stadium with a lot of exposed sand, a vegetable field with uneven pitches and pits, and a poor drainage facility.

The golf course turned into a pond when it rained...but this was the first time he had seen a golf course with iron nails hidden in the turf.

He didn't even know whether it was deliberately thrown in by the staff of the Sao Paulo Stadium to cause trouble for the Dortmund players, or whether it was a simple work error...or whether it was thrown in by fans who came to the stadium in advance because they found iron nails. It’s not very far from the bottom line…

"Hey, Zhou Yi, what are you doing?" Mark asked curiously when he saw Zhou Yi, who had his back turned to him, lowering his head in confusion.

"Uh, it's nothing." Zhou Yi quickly held the nail in his hand, put his hand behind his back, and turned to Mark.

After that, he dropped the mark and the football and ran straight to the sidelines to find the club staff.

Mark looked at Zhou Yi's back and felt strange.

When Zhou Yi ran to the sidelines, he found assistant coach Zeljko Bvac and showed the nails in his hands.

"What are you doing, Zhou Yi?" Buvac looked at the nail in Zhou Yi's hand strangely, "This is..."

"I just found this in the restricted area turf." Zhou Yidao.

Buvac had an "are you kidding me" look on his face.

"Maybe it was thrown down by fans." Zhou Yi.

Buvac looked at the stands of the Sao Paulo Stadium. There was a runway between the stands and the stadium. Which fan could throw this iron nail into the stadium?

※※※

The process of Zhou Yi holding the iron nails and communicating with Buvac was captured by the camera on the sidelines, so this scene was transmitted to the rear.

Everyone in the German studio was shocked when they saw this scene: "There are iron nails in the turf of the St. Paul Stadium? What a joke! If a player made an action in that place, wouldn't he be scratched?"

"Just a scratch on the body is relatively light. What if it jumps up and gets stuck in the eye?"

"Naples did a terrible job at home!"

Guests and hosts criticized the Naples club.

This incident was also captured by a sharp-eyed photographer and the photos were posted online.

So it also caused an uproar on the Internet. A stadium hosting a Champions League match unexpectedly found nails in the turf before the game! If this was not discovered, what serious consequences would it have during the game? No one dares to think about it...

Many Dortmund fans clamored that the Sao Paulo Stadium must be disqualified from hosting Champions League matches, and some Dortmund fans suggested that this game should be declared a direct 3-0 win for Dortmund.

Of course, Naples fans and Dortmund fans are very dissatisfied with the law. Some people even have conspiracy theories that Zhou Yi hid this iron nail on his body in advance and then brought it into the stadium with the intention of blaming Naples... As for what he did. Well, haven't the suggestions of Dortmund fans been answered?

There is a lot of noise on the Internet, but on the Chinese domestic Internet, the atmosphere is relatively harmonious because there are too few Chinese fans who support Naples, so now there is one-sided criticism and blame on the Naples club. Charges as serious as "premeditated murder" have come out.

All Chinese fans believe that it is impossible for Zhou Yi to cheat on this, so this must be a problem with the Naples club. And Naples’ extreme fans do have a similar record.

Because of the treatment Dortmund received after arriving in Naples, through media publicity, everyone knew about the extreme behavior of Naples fans, which aroused the disgust of many people. Now that the iron nail has come out, it has added another "crime" for Naples' extreme fans.

Zhou Yi handed the nail to Buvac, and he turned back to the court to continue warming up. There were some things that he should not consider.

And Buvac stared down at the nail in his hand. It was so heavy that he could feel its weight.

He used the pad of his thumb to test the tip of the nail again and found that it was very sharp. With a little force, it felt as if it could penetrate the skin...

The startled Buvac then became angry. Naples is going to let our players play on such a stadium? !

So he turned to the match supervisor.

If Naples doesn't come up with a solution, he doesn't mind aborting the game.

"What are you doing?" Mark was curious when he saw Zhou Yi running back.

"Nothing, I just had a chat with the assistant coach." Zhou Yi.

"What's there to talk about?"

"Ask him if he has any other opinions... Okay, let's warm up. If you don't warm up properly now, you might get injured!" Zhou Yi casually prevaricates. He was unwilling to tell Mark about finding nails in the turf. Mark had been frightened and nervous by the atmosphere in Naples these days. If he now knows that there is a murderous intention hidden in the turf, he might not be able to perform at his normal level during the game...

Not only would he not tell Mark, he wouldn't tell any of his other teammates, for the same reason: he didn't want everyone to be distracted.

As for whether there were other things like nails in the turf, Zhou Yi didn't know, but he thought assistant coach Buvac would definitely solve the matter, and it was not his turn to worry about it.

※※※

When the Dortmund players finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room, they did not see that the Sao Paulo Stadium sent ten staff members starting from the baselines on both sides and advancing towards the center line, pulling the net to check, looking down for possible things in the turf. of “dangerous goods”.

This is the result of Buvac's argument in front of UEFA's match supervisors. He held it in his hand. The iron nail discovered by Zhou Yi shone with a cold light and was very convincing.

In the face of this strong evidence, the Sao Paulo Stadium had no choice but to re-inspect the turf under the pressure of UEFA to ensure that there were no unnecessary debris in the playing area.

Of course, the Dortmund coaching staff knew about this, and Buvac told Klopp.

However, Klopp did not tell the players in the locker room. He thought this was a disturbance to the team. No matter whether the staff at the St. Paul Stadium checked carefully or not, if the players knew about it, they would always feel guilty. This lump will definitely cause interference during the game.

So Klopp approached Zhou Yi privately and asked him if he had told other players about this. Zhou Yi shook his head and gave Klopp the answer he wanted.

"Very good, you did well. But are you okay?" Klopp asked.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhou Yi felt strange.

"I hope the nails won't affect you..."

"No, no, it won't affect me. I believe coach Buvac must have good communication with the court." Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly.

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Klopp laughed: "That's right, the stadium has now sent people to re-check the turf. With UEFA supervising them, I believe they won't dare to make any small moves. In short, just play with confidence. ”

He is really satisfied with Zhou Yi. In the past two days, when other players were obviously frightened, Zhou Yi's performance was normal, which reassured Klopp. As the core of the team, Zhou Yi is calm and composed and can definitely influence and inspire his teammates during the game.

Although he didn't understand why the young Zhou Yi could have such a big heart, he didn't need to figure it out. He just needed to enjoy the benefits brought by Zhou Yi.

Back in the locker room, Klopp clapped his hands and said to everyone in the quiet locker room: "Forget about those messy things, what we have in front of us is just a Champions League group match. What we have to do is very simple, It's about showing what we have in practice, playing this game and then going home."

He still added "go home", hoping that this would relieve some psychological pressure on the players. After playing this game, I went home. Many people will feel a lot more relaxed when they think about going home...
