Yun Sheng was in a bad mood as he walked in the players tunnel.
Although his face was expressionless, he didn't say much and seemed not to care, but the feeling of being looked down upon would make anyone uncomfortable.
But having said that, after all, Yunsheng is unknown, and he is in a strange away game. He has no choice but to regain his face on the court when he is despised.
Unlike Yun Sheng, another frequent visitor to the Mercedes-Benz Arena also encountered some trouble today.
To say he is a frequent visitor here is better to say he is the former owner.
Since joining the Stuttgart youth training camp in 1994, he has been closely connected with this stadium.
The 15-year-old boy has grown into a famous star in Germany step by step.
In 1998, he was promoted to the first team and made his Bundesliga debut in 1999. At the end of the season, with the retirement of old goalkeeper Wolfat, he naturally became the team's number one. In the following seasons, he has been the team's main goalkeeper.
In the 0203 season, under the command of Magath, the "Little Tiger Team" represented by him, Kuranyi, Lahm, Hleb and other talented players emerged out of nowhere and won the championship without being favored by others. Bundesliga runner-up. In the UEFA Champions League the following year, this group of talented players performed brilliantly, making the entire Europe remember the Stuttgart "Little Tigers" and knowing that they had a handsome young goalkeeper.
In the 2004 season, he even broke the Bundesliga record for the longest clean sheet held by Kahn with his 884 minutes of clean sheets. This record has not yet been broken.
In the past 0607 season, Stuttgart, under the leadership of meritorious coach Amin Fei, staged another youth storm in the Bundesliga. As the team's vice-captain, he saved the opponent's must-goals many times at critical moments. Stuttgart won eight consecutive games in the last eight league games. The team also won another Bundesliga championship after 15 years.
When he decided not to renew his contract at the end of the season, the infatuated Stuttgart fans displayed a banner full of love and expectations during the game in an attempt to retain their main goalkeeper.
"Stuttgart without you is like winter without snowflakes."
But even so, in order to seek a greater breakthrough, he chose to leave and join Cottbus.
In this way, the last of the former Stuttgart "Little Tigers" also chose to leave.
These scenes of the past flew through his mind, making Hildebrand sigh.
This is the first time he has returned to Stuttgart and the Mercedes-Benz Arena as an opponent.
He was the last one to walk out of the tunnel. After stopping for a long time, he slowly walked into the stadium.
After more than ten years, I wonder how the fans here will view his predecessor?
Hildebrand guessed 10,000 possibilities, but what finally happened was the 10,001th scenario.
The moment he stepped onto the court, the sky was filled with boos, deafening!
The boos shocked the home team players on the field.
Stuttgart's old German captain Meissner was stunned. He looked in the direction of the players' tunnel and then understood the reason for the boos.
He sighed and shook his head repeatedly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It's really sad that this kid who ran away from home in Stuttgart is now being treated like this.
The 30-year-old Portuguese defender Mela came over: "I didn't expect the fans to treat him like this..."
Meisner sighed: "If possible, I really wish I could go over and hug him to give him warmth, but this occasion is not appropriate."
Mela's eyes were complicated: "The days of partnering with him on the defensive line were really good, and I miss them very much now. Those days should be what I miss the most."
The two were chatting when they saw the young striker Gomez on the training ground blasting a shot straight towards the goal. The ball was powerful and heavy.
However, goalkeeper Schaefer made a flying save and punched the ball out.
This wonderful save drew applause from the stands, and the fans did not hesitate to give applause to their new goalkeeper.
Schaefer got up from the ground and waved his fists at the fans behind him, once again drawing cheers.
Schaefer looked back in the direction of the tunnel, with a provocative look on his face.
No matter what kind of brilliance you have created here, now you have become the enemy here, and I am the new number one of this team!
Hildebrand stood outside the tunnel for half a minute.
There were boos all over the place just now, and applause all over the place now.
The boos are for yourself, the applause is for others.
In the stands facing the players' tunnel, two banners are very conspicuous.
"Who needs that guy when we have Schaefer?"
"Who is Hildebrand?"
The two banners were huge and Hildebrand could see them clearly.
At this moment, there were tears in his eyes.
Is it a grievance?
Sad?
Is it sad?
Maybe both.
Numerous emotions were mixed together, making Hildebrand feel suffocated for a moment.
He looked towards the auditorium again and clearly heard and saw the curses and boos from the home team fans.
These scolds and boos used to be directed at Stuttgart opponents. Hildebrand had listened to them for more than ten years, but now, the target of attack has become himself.
Above the tunnel, the curses from the home team fans were so clear that Hildebrand even felt their spittle flying into his face.
Looking up, the faces that were once full of admiration and respect have now become hideous and terrifying due to angry abuse.
They wanted to pull Hildebrand into the stands and beat him so hard that he would have broken bones and tendons!
There was so much love in the past, but so much pain now.
Hildebrand is like this.
Maybe Stuttgart fans are like that too.
"Timo, are you feeling nostalgic?" came a voice from behind.
"Coach Yunsheng." Hildebrand turned around and said hello.
Standing on the sidelines, Yun Sheng looked around the stadium: "This team doesn't seem very friendly to us."
Hildebrand smiled bitterly: "Not to us, but to me."
"You were once the pride of this place. Even if you leave, they have no right to treat you like this," Yun Sheng said with a serious expression. "Besides, when they boo the Cottbus goalkeeper, they are booing us."
Hildebrand said nothing.
Yun Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "Come on and warm up. You were once the protagonist of this stadium, and I dare to say that you are still the king here today! We are going to play defensive counterattack in this game, and you are the team's most important player." An important part, come on, the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga!"
After hearing Yun Sheng's words, Hildebrand's mentality gradually calmed down, and his eyes changed from tenderness to sharpness: "Coach Yun Sheng, don't worry, I will never let them break Cottbus' goal in this game. !”
