Champion’s Heart

Vol 3 Chapter 59: First taste in Westphalia

Klopp Xi is used to announcing the starting lineup in the locker room of the stadium, so until then, no one knows who will start.

  

  The time when the football coach announces the starting lineup is different. Some people, like Klopp, do not announce until the last minute. Some coaches are used to telling players one day in advance who he will start.

  

   These two approaches have advantages and disadvantages, but each has its own reasons. So there is no meaning of which approach is better.

  

Although    is the home game, the players still have to stay in the hotel one day in advance. This is easier to manage-if the players are all going home, who knows what they will do at night?

  

   This is bad for management, especially abstinence management. Even if these players stay at home honestly, don’t go out for clubbing, but if they come a few more nights with their wives and girlfriends, maybe tomorrow’s game will become a hollow radish and their feet weak.

  

  On the day of the game, the players called the bus and rushed to the competition site collectively.

  

   And Dortmund fans go earlier than the players. They are going to set up the stadium. Those huge and banners need to be installed in advance.

  

  ※※※

  

   When "Daddy" Bruno took his men to the South Grandstand, they hung a banner on the site organized by their "black gold" fans.

  

  This banner reads a huge line of words: "Zhou Yi! Children in the South Stand!"

  

   Their game was not only to cheer Dortmund, but also to cheer Zhou Yi.

  

   Mark's parents also helped with Mark.

  

  After all this, the players of both sides started to warm up.

  

   "Look! He is out!"

  

   Mark's sharp eyes first discovered his friend Zhou Yi.

  

   "Well... I was looking around when I was warming up, and I didn't look nervous at all!" Mark's mother, Mrs. Wagner, applauded.

  

   "Mom, he's the person who came off the bench to help the team win the ball. What's so nervous about warming up?" Mark thought his mother was very strange.

  

   "What do you guys understand? Where is this? This is Westphalia! Can playing here be the same as playing in that kind of country?" Mrs. Wagner taught her son.

  

   "Daddy" Bruno said on the side: "Your mother is right, Mark. Playing in Westfalen is definitely a different experience. But..." He turned sharply. "I think even if he is playing here, Zhou Yi will not be nervous because he is also a different person."

  

  ※※※

  

  Zhou Yi did look around when he warmed up on the court. His eyes scanned Westphalia into his mind. The people in the stands were not full yet, but the momentum had already taken shape.

  

  Especially the South Stand, where the fans are most concentrated.

  

  Zhou Yi thought that he could only stand there to watch the ball before, but now he was standing in the stadium and was watched by the people there.

  

   He turned his attention to the area where he had stood before-the fourteenth row. It is slightly higher than the 16-meter-high barbed wire wall in front of the South Grandstand, with excellent views.

  

   Sure enough, he saw a group of people there.

  

  Because Dortmund was warming up in the half of the stadium below the South Stand, it was so close, Zhou Yi could even see the expression on their faces.

  

   They are all here, so nice.

  

   finished warming up, Zhou Yi walked back to the locker room with his teammates, but he was stopped halfway along.

  

Zhou Yi, who stopped him, also knew that it was Norbert Decker, a live broadcaster at Westphalia Stadium.

  

   "Hi, Zhou Yi." Decor called Zhou Yi to the channel without disturbing the passage of others. "I have a question for you."

  

   "You said, Mr. Decor."

  

"Nobby. Just call me Nobby, ha! You know, I’m going to read the list of players later, but I’ve never read the name of the Chinese people before, so I want to ask you, according to our traditional habits. I used to have the first name in front of my last name, such as my Norbert Decor, Norbert is my first name, Decor is my last name, I will pronounce Norbert first, and then the fans will call Decor . But the Chinese people are not the same as us... I call you Zhou Yi, but Zhou is not your name, right?"

  

   "Yes." Zhou Yi nodded.

  

   "Then do I read "Yi Zhou" backwards according to our habits, or?"

  

   "This, I'm called "Yi Zhou", I always feel that I'm calling others. Nobby, you just call me like this now." Zhou Yi said.

  

   "Is it in accordance with the traditional customs of your country?" Decor confirmed.

  

   "Yes, I listen to Xi Xiu." Zhou Yi said.

  

   "Oh, okay!" Decor nodded again and again.

  

   "Right, Nobby. Does this mean I'm in the starting line?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked, beating Dikeer by surprise, he looked at Zhou Yi in surprise, and then shook his head quickly.

  

   "No, you think too much, Zhou Yi. I just have to do my homework just in case. I am a serious broadcaster, haha!"

  

  Although Zhou Yi has not been able to find out whether he is starting from Dicol, Zhou Yi also knows that he will know the answer to this question soon.

  

  After warming up and returning to the dressing room, Klopp is about to announce the starter.

  

  ※※※

  

  Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun sat in front of the TV, with two cups of tea on the coffee table.

  

   The TV has been turned on, and the picture has been cut from the Westphalia stadium to the rear studio in Beijing.

  

  Duan Xin and the guest Tao Wei smiled at each other, and then Duan Xin said: "It's time I think everyone cares most-the starting list! Yes, we have got the starting list of both sides of this game."

  

  Zhou Jianliang straightened his waist.

  

   "Come here!" He seemed very moved.

  

   "I can tell you first, Zhou Yi that everyone cares most about..." Duan Xin paused, "Starting!"

  

   "Bang!" Zhou Jianliang waved his fist.

  

   "What's so good about this?" Li Cuiyun vomited his own rules next to him, "He played so well in the last game, shouldn't he be the starting one?"

  

   "Ah, you don't understand. Football is not that simple..." Zhou Jianliang didn't know how to explain to his wife, one sentence or two was unclear.

  

   "You just love to think too complicated!" Li Cuiyun countered.

  

  Zhou Jianliang opened his mouth, but did not speak, because if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. Just like buying a football lottery, when he, a professional fan, thinks too much, he often fails to buy at all...

  

  ※※※

  

   Today is the match day, not just the Bundesliga, the entire European football is the day of the league full battle. The Barcelona first team match is also today.

  

   So this afternoon, La Masia did not arrange any training. Young players can go home and watch Barcelona's away game to challenge A Coruna's league.

  

  He Ying watched the game in the dormitory. But he did not watch the Barcelona game, but looked at the league of Dortmund and Nuremberg.

  

   Last week's Zhou Yi competition, he failed to see it, this time he didn't want to miss it. Just listening to Zhou Yi said, it is still not intuitive enough. He has to look at it and see for himself how Zhou Yi played, so as to give himself a reference.

  

   In Schalke, Germany, Yang Muge did not make the Schalke 04U19 big game list, he stayed at home. Julian Draxler also regrets Yang Muge. But Yang Muge, in turn, comforted Draxler, saying he should take a break after starting several games in a row.

  

   Actually, the real reason why he didn’t regret it was that he could watch the live Bundesliga game at home instead of listening to the radio on the way back like the last game.

  

   The game he was concerned about was naturally not a match between Schalke 04 and Hertha Berlin, but a match between Dortmund and Nuremberg.

  

  At the same time, in London, England, and Milan, Italy, there are also eyes on the TV match between Dortmund and Nuremberg...

  

   Zhou Yi's game not only affected his parents and domestic fans, but also his companions in Europe.

  

  ※※※

  

  In the locker room, Klopp also announced his starting lineup to his players.

  

   Zhou Yi really was among them.

  

   Actually, his teammates are not surprised that Zhou Yi will start. After all, everyone's performance in the last game is seen by everyone. Since Sha Xin is injured, why can't Zhou Yi start?

  

   Zhou Yi was strange if he didn't start.

  

   GrossKreuz touched Zhou Yi and blinked at him.

  

   And Ge Ze, who also entered the big list, failed to start...

  

  After announcing the starting list, Klopp asked the team for this game.

  

"...I don't want to see that like the last game, I clearly took the lead early, but ended up being passive. This time we are playing at home, don't give the opponent any chance to breathe! Keep it under control The situation, no matter what the score is!"

  

   When he said this, he glanced at Zhou Yi.

  

  Control the situation is actually meant for Zhou Yi to listen, because this is Zhou Yi's responsibility.

  

   Because Shaxin couldn't play in this game, Zhou Yi, who played for him, was a midfielder, so Klopp made some adjustments to the team.

  

Sven. Bender and Captain Kyle served as the back of the game. Zhou Yi, Gros Kreuz, and Kuba were lined up in front of them, Zhou Yi was in the middle, and the other two were separated.

  

   And the person at the top is Barrios.

  

  Qidan was placed on the bench and failed to start. Instead, the Egyptian became the victim of Zhou Yi's starting game-Klopp had always played 442 before. In this game, because he wanted Zhou Yi to start, he changed to 4231.

  

   This is also because Zhou Yi's defensive ability is insufficient, must ensure the defensive hardness of the midfield.

  

  ※※※

  

  When the game was about to start, Zhou Yi and his teammates were standing in the tunnel, waiting for the referee to take them out.

  

   And at this time, in the stadium outside, live broadcast Norbert Dikeer is leading the fans to read the starting list of this game aloud.

  

   "Roman--!" he shouted with a lengthened voice.

  

   Then the fans shouted, "Weidenfeller!!!"

  

  At the same time, Weidenfeller's photos, numbers, locations and names were also printed on the big screen.

  

   Reported one by one.

  

  When registering for Bender, Bruno, the "daddy", said happily, "It's coming soon!"

  

   Sure enough, next, Norbert Decor shouted: "Chou -!!!"

  

   "Easy!!!"

  

   Bruno, Mark’s parents, and Mark yelled in their throats, almost making their voices hoarse.

  

   The cry of the fans also clearly passed into the player channel.

  

   The scream of "Zhou Yi!" made Zhou Yi hear all the pores all over his body, as if there was a surge of electric current from the ground through his feet, and finally rose to the top of his head, making his scalp numb!

  

   He couldn't help but make a pendulum~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just one feeling-cool!

  

  This is how it feels to play at Westfalen Stadium!

  

  Although he has not started kicking yet...

  

   But he can’t wait to get the game started.

  

  He feels that his dream is being realized step by step, and in the process of realization, there are always many memories worth cherishing for a lifetime.

  

   For example, this is his first appearance in Westphalia.

  

   This is the first time worth celebrating and commemorating!

  

  ※※※

  

   When the singing of "You will never walk alone" on the South Stand gradually faded, the players of both sides played.

  

  Zhou Yi followed behind Gross Kreuz, and as the large army moved forward, ten seconds later, he finally stepped on the turf of Westphalia Stadium.

  

   "Look! It's our son!" Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV happily pointed at the TV screen.

  

  At the same time, in front of countless TV sets and computer screens in China, countless fans also moved like Zhou Jianliang.

  

   Finally, Zhou Yi started!

  

   And still starting at Westphalia Stadium!

  

  This is a very happy time for Chinese fans who are also Dortmund fans. (To be continued) [This text is provided by the sailing update team @冰山berg123]
