Chapter 170 Snow Is Still Falling

When Zhou Yi woke up from bed, his first reaction was to turn his head and look out the window. As a result, he only saw thick curtains and the room was still dark. Only then did he remember to close the curtains before going to bed.

So he jumped out of bed and opened the curtains without even bothering to upload his clothes.

There was a crash.

He narrowed his eyes because of the light outside.

But he didn't see the bright sunshine.

The blinding light he saw came from reflections from the snow outside.

After his eyes calmed down, Zhou Yi saw the scene in front of him, and a poem popped into his mind: "The scenery of the North, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow..."

Yes, that's what he saw.

After one night, the snow outside did not stop, but it was just a little lighter than last night.

There is thick snow on the ground and on the roofs, and workers are taking the time to remove snow from the roads.

Zhou Yi looked at the scene in front of him and curled his lips.

Yesterday, the teammates were full of expectations after spending the night. The weather was clear and it should be good weather today.

But looking at the gloomy sky and falling snowflakes, it's hard to believe that there will be good weather today.

If you compete in such weather conditions, the competition will be much more difficult than usual.

The same concerns also exist among Dortmund's coaching staff.

In the restaurant, Klopp and his coaching staff chose a seat by the window to sit down.

Looking at the falling snowflakes outside, assistant coach Zeljko Buvac said worriedly: "I would rather the game be postponed again."

"That's impossible." Klopp shook his head. "Unless Istanbul suffers a large-scale terrorist attack..."

"Hey..." Buvac sighed.

Then everyone at the table stared out the window and stopped talking.

Also staring out the window in fascination were the Galatasaray players.

When people who came later entered the restaurant, they found that their teammates were gathered in front of the window, watching something. So they also walked up curiously and found that they were looking at the snow outside.

Snow is not a rare thing, so what is there to watch?

But when everyone saw this scene, they couldn't move.

After one night, the snow is still falling!

The snow on the ground is already very thick, and I don’t know what the situation is like on the golf course.

At this time, the voice of the team's head coach Trim sounded behind them: "Doesn't anyone think this is a sign? It indicates that we can beat Dortmund at home."

Everyone heard his voice and turned around to look at Trim.

Trim spread his hands: "We played badly last night. Does anyone deny it?"

Hearing him say this, the players lowered their heads. They played really badly yesterday. Although the head coach said before the game that he would fight for honor, the players obviously did not show such fighting spirit.

"If it hadn't been for the snow and the hail, maybe we would have failed yesterday on our home court, I don't doubt that at all. But now, thank God, has given us a chance to correct this mistake - if you If you are still willing to correct this mistake.”

When Trim said this, the expressions on the players' faces were also changing.

As Trim said, it really looks like God's will. If it wasn't God's arrangement, why did heavy snow and hail fall from the sky and interrupt the game when they were at their most passive?

Since God has arranged it this way, there must be His reason for it.

Does this mean we can definitely beat Dortmund?

Some clues can be seen from the snow that has not stopped yet.

We are playing at home, and we have the right time, place, and people.

So what reason is there not to win?

Thinking of this, Galatasaray's players became excited.

This is divine revelation!

※※※

"What a revelation..." In the Dortmund team, some players couldn't help but murmured when they saw the snow outside the window.

Zhou Yi curled his lips after hearing this, but he did not refute his teammate's statement.

But in his heart he did not believe this view.

What the hell, I’m an atheist!

He no longer cared about the snow outside the window, lowered his head to eat breakfast, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to read the news.

Yesterday was the Champions League match day, and today there was a lot of news about yesterday’s Champions League match.

Another game in the same group ended normally without any accidents.

The Naples team tried their best to defeat Arsenal at their home court, but the score was 2:0.

This is very subtle.

If Dortmund loses to Galatasaray, Arsenal and Napoli will qualify together, with both teams on 12 points and Dortmund on just nine.

And if Dortmund defeats Galatasaray in the make-up, Napoli will be eliminated.

Zhou Yi felt that the worst situation now was actually Naples. The sentence could have been pronounced in court, but due to heavy snow, the sentence was changed to another date. They have to hold their breath and wait for the final judgment.

For Dortmund, it has no impact, they still have to win anyway.

As Zhou Yi thought, after the game between Naples and Arsenal yesterday, although Naples won the game, there was calm at the Sao Paulo Stadium after the game.

Because they don't know what consequences this result will bring to them.

So I don’t know whether I should be cheering or sad.

If the two games end at the same time, there will be a result immediately.

Now they continue to wait on tenterhooks for the final verdict.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi suddenly laughed out loud.

His laughter caught everyone's attention, and his teammates turned to look at him.

"What are you laughing at, Zhou Yi?" Mark asked curiously.

"Nothing, I was just thinking that Naples must be waiting for the second boot on the roof to be taken off." Zhou Yi told a joke, and everyone who understood it laughed.

The atmosphere became better than before.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yi simply told everyone: "Actually, it has no impact on us. Because whether the game is completed in one day or divided into two days, we still have to win, right?"

After hearing what he said, everyone thought this was true.

"Of course, it's a bit unpleasant to have our form interrupted, but can't we win because of that? Let's look at this as a two-round match. Yesterday was the first round. We were leading 1:0, but we will lose in the second round? Not necessarily?"

Everyone nodded when Zhou Yi said it.

"So it's just an ordinary game. So what about the snow battle? Haven't we played before?"

Zhou Yiyi said that everyone had come to their senses. Germany is not a low-dimensional place. Every winter, it snows almost everywhere. Dortmund, located in northwest Germany, is indispensable for many heavy snowfalls. So playing football in snowy weather is no stranger to Dortmund players.

The more important reason why the game was interrupted yesterday was hail. Playing football in hail weather is truly an experience I have never had before. If it’s not enough, there won’t be another hailstorm today, right?

The conversation between Zhou Yi and his teammates also attracted the attention of the coaches. Seeing that Zhou Yi eased the nervousness of the players with just a few words, the coaches on the coaching staff looked at each other.

Klopp smiled and spread his hands.

The other coaches laughed too.

They are really lucky to have a player like Zhou Yi, it saves them a lot of worry...

※※※

The make-up match between Dortmund and Galatasaray starts in the afternoon local time and starts at 9pm Beijing time.

This is a very strange thing for Chinese audiences - when will they also be able to enjoy the treatment of European TV audiences and watch Champions League games during prime time in the evening?

Although the sports channel has other programs at this time, such as sports news, sports world and so on.

But there is no need to worry that they will not see the game. If there are Zhouyi competitions, other programs will naturally make way for them.

Sure enough, the TV station temporarily adjusted its program schedule, and all programs between 8:30 and 11:00 were canceled or postponed to make way for the make-up games between Dortmund and Galatasaray.

At half past eight, the live program started on time.

The commentator and commentator from behind appeared on the screen to introduce this special game to everyone.

"...The latest news is that the snow in Istanbul has not stopped yet. I believe this is definitely bad news for Dortmund..." Commentator He Ping frowned when he mentioned the news. Like many players in Dortmund, he originally thought that after one night, the snow would stop...

It turned out not to be.

Maybe it did stop at night when everyone was sleeping, but at least it is still falling now, which means the situation is not optimistic.

"We can also see from the earlier news that snow removal work is being carried out at the Ali Samyan Stadium. There is no snow on the ground now, but it will still have an impact on the players..."

Many Chinese fans actually knew the news earlier than watching TV, because all news spreads faster online.

They are also worried that the poor field conditions will not be conducive to Dortmund's performance.

Will the defending champion be eliminated in the group stage?

Some people dare not say it with their mouths, but they have this worry in their hearts.
