Players from both sides entered the tunnel, and their eardrums began to be bombarded by the shouts coming from outside.
There are unspoken rules for players lining up to play. The one at the front must be the captain, but the one at the end is more particular.
Some teams have forwards at the end, but most teams have their biggest stars to play at the end of the team. In a certain season, Paris even had the Big Three squatting down to tie their shoelaces together, waiting for the end. A strange scene of walking out...
In this game, the Schalke 04 teammates all gave up this position to Yang Feng with a tacit understanding.
Opposite him next to him is Shinji Kagawa.
Obviously both clubs felt the heat of the "Asian Derby" and secretly added fuel to the fire.
The two nodded to each other and even shook hands in a friendly manner, but only they knew what they were thinking.
The enthusiasm of Schalke 04 fans is world-famous. Their home stadium, the Veltins Arena, is also one of the most famous football venues in Europe. It can accommodate 61,500 spectators and is equipped with four of the largest in-field screens in Europe. Ceilings and movable venues, etc.
But even so, the club has not forgotten its tradition and history. The player tunnels in the stadium are designed to resemble mines and lanes, giving everyone the feeling of walking underground and creating a similar atmosphere to Westphal. The stadium has a similar "Welcome to Hell" feeling of oppression, so the expressions of these young Dortmund players seem to be a little bit reluctant to let go.
"Good afternoon, audience friends. Of course, for domestic friends, it should be around 10:30 in the evening," Duan Xuan started with a smile, "I am Duan Xuan, and I will bring this to you at the scene. A live broadcast of the game. Please don’t rush to change channels after the game. I will interview Yang Feng live at that time..."
There are many Asian faces in the media area, but reporters from China and Japan are the most energetic. This is not the first time Duan Xuan has come to the scene to commentate on important games. Whether it is the World Cup or the El Clasico, he has been there, but never A time like this is like arriving at your own home court.
“Dortmund has been undefeated in 25 league games and is very likely to become the first team besides Bayern Munich to win two consecutive Bundesliga titles in 15 years. The last team was the yellow and black team in the 1994/95 and 1995/96 seasons. The only thing that can stop them now is Schalke 04, but even if Schalke 04 can defeat Dortmund in this game, they are still 3 points behind Dortmund. Whether they can reverse and win in the final stage depends on the results of the last three rounds. , but for Schalke 04, you can win the championship, but you can’t step on me, so I believe that the Schalke 04 players will definitely try their best in this game..."
Stevens and Klopp were met with applause and boos respectively when they came out.
The two of them are now only one step away from the peak of their lives.
If Stevens leads the team to win the championship, a statue in front of the club will probably be indispensable; and if Klopp can lead Dortmund to defend the title, it will also become an eternal legend of Dortmund, and its status in world football will naturally be further improved. Step into the ranks of real famous coaches.
According to the rules, the two shook hands with the same expressionless expression, then walked to the sideline with their arms around their shoulders, waiting for the game to start.
Of course, this is not the first time Yang Feng has played in Veltins, nor is it the first time he has participated in the Ruhr Derby, but it is the first time he has played in such an important game as one of the protagonists. It feels so...refreshing. exploded.
I glanced around and found the national flag being waved crazily in the stands.
In the opposite team, two big sun flags were also fluttering in the stands.
These are just spontaneous behaviors of the fans. Apart from the people of the two countries, outsiders can also watch the excitement. However, as a giant Tifo unfolded in the home stands, many fans were shocked.
Tifo is a proper name in the sports circle. In fan culture, it refers to a large banner or puzzle that can cover the stands. It is often used in important games and key battles. It is an important tool for fans to express their emotions and is also a nuclear weapon in the stands.
In Germany, the fans who play this game the most are Dortmund fans. The giant skull Tifo on the West Coast stadium once shocked the entire football world.
Schalke's Tifo is usually a giant miner's head, unpretentious but full of plain strength, but today, the fans unfolded a Schalke jersey.
There is a big "9" in the middle.
The name above the number is not English letters, but two Chinese characters in block letters, "Yang Feng".
Draxler couldn't help but say "fuck" again, he was extremely envious.
As a native of Gerkisenxing and the son of a miner with a well-established background, he has never received such treatment.
Huntelaar, who was standing in the middle circle with Yang Feng, also changed his expression slightly.
As the number one superstar of Schalke 04 and the number one contributor who has led the team to this point, he has not been able to get such love from the fans. But think about Yang Feng’s Schalke youth training background, and think about it again. His performance against Bayern Munich and Bilbao this season shows that this preference is not without reason.
Duan Xuan was so excited that his voice broke, "Yang Feng's big jersey appeared in the stands! The fans are expressing their love for Yang Feng in their own way..."
"Is this...that exaggerated? It's not a retirement ceremony."
"Hahahaha, I know this. It was organized by a group of international students. I didn't expect that they actually started it."
"Maple God V5."
"Damn it, you just performed so enthusiastically. If you lead the team to win the championship, why don't you just become a god immediately?"
"Come on..."
A close-up of Yang Feng appeared in the middle of the screen.
He still had a calm face, but it could be seen from his tightly pursed lips that he was by no means calm inside.
He knew that his performance this season was pretty good, but he never imagined that he had become so popular among fans.
Dortmund players also looked at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng is indeed an important figure in Schalke, but in terms of threat level, he is definitely lower than Huntelaar and Raul.
In particular, the coaching staff conducted a special study on him and found that this kid seems to be a cup player. In the Europa League, he is simply killing gods and Buddhas, but his performance in the league is intermittent and lacks sustainability. Therefore, the defenders' attention to him in this game was only at an ordinary level of danger.
But now, the Dortmund defenders looked at him like they were staring at a big piece of fat.
There are very few opportunities for defensive players to excel. Goal-line saves and stitches are rare, but star players who brutally abuse the opponent are much more common...
