Chapter 237 Mobilization before the final

When Dortmund players walked out of the hotel and were about to board the bus, there was a burst of cheers from Dortmund fans around them. The fastest update

The camera flash lights in the hands of reporters frequently lit up.

Among these fans and reporters, there are also many Chinese faces. Chinese reporters are here to report on Zhou Yi. This is their job, while Chinese fans are here to cheer for Zhou Yi.

After both sides were released in the Champions League final, it is said that in China, some people with great business vision have set up a European tour project of "watching the Champions League final on site and cheering for Zhou Yi". The business is said to be very booming.

But it is easy to travel to Europe, and you have to say about air tickets, rooms, etc., but the European Champions League final tickets are hard to buy.

So in fact, there are only a few people who can come to London Wembley Stadium to watch the Champions League final.

But despite this, there are still many Chinese fans who are willing to spend a lot of money to come to London, even if they can only wait outside the hotel where the whole Dortmund team is staying, take a look at Zhou Yi from a distance, and even if they can only watch live TV in London's taverns or hotels... they are all willing.

This is the long-suppressed enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

In the previous Champions League finals, there were Chinese fans watching the game on site. That was when football and national pride were linked, the energy burst out was really amazing.

This is the first time that Chinese players have appeared on the stage of the Champions League final. This alone is enough to make many Chinese fans excited.

In addition to fans and tourists from China, there are also many Chinese students in the UK and Europe, many of whom are also fans.

The other players came out of the lobby and waved their hands amid the cheers. After seeing those compatriots, Zhou Yi simply walked over and took a photo with them.

Then he boarded the bus amid everyone's warm cheers.

"Zhou Yi also went to have a photo with the fans. He looked relaxed and was in a good mood. This is a good sign..." In the studio behind Beijing, the host just finished watching the real-time report sent back from the front with the guests.

"But Zhou Yi has always been like this. I have never seen him get nervous..." said a guest.

"Sometimes it's hard to believe that this is just a 22-year-old young man." Another guest Bai Songyan sighed. "Who is this old player in China who has the style of a general like him?"

"Sun Pan and the others are not bad either..." said the host.

"Of course." Bai Songyan nodded repeatedly, "but the feeling they give is different from the feeling that Zhou Yi gives. Zhou Yi really has a kind of maturity beyond his age. He is only twenty-two years old, but he is already the core of Dortmund. I think he is also the core of the national team in the next ten years."

Bai Songyan has a high opinion of Zhou Yi, but it is no secret that he likes Zhou Yi very much. As a fan, he has participated in various football-related programs, and in these programs, he has praised Zhou Yi more than once.

Previously, he even thought that if any Chinese player is most likely to win the Golden Ball Award, it would definitely be Zhou Yi.

This review is quite high.

Now, looking at Zhou Yi's development trajectory, it seems that it really fits Bai Songyan's evaluation.

When the players arrived at the stadium, there were already a lot of people outside the Wembley Stadium.

Looking around, there are all yellow and black Dortmund fans and red and white Bayern Munich fans.

The fans of the two teams have not yet entered the court, but have already been on the square outside the court.

This season, Dortmund and Bayern Munich have been trembling for a whole season. Since the beginning of the Super Cup, the direct competition between the two teams has begun. This competition is completely the business of both of them, and other teams cannot get in.

In the Super Cup and the German Cup, Bayern Munich beat Dortmund.

But in the most important league, Dortmund reversed and won the game at the last moment, giving Bayern Munich a heavy blow.

Today's Champions League final is just a move to the competition between the two teams in Germany to the entire European stage.

So some media joked that European football in the 2012-2013 season was actually a competition record between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

Some media are also worried that the two teams will face each other so many times in China. If they are too familiar with it, will it make this Champions League final lose its suspense and not exciting enough.

The players from both sides warmed up and returned to their respective locker rooms.

The two head coaches will make final preparations for this game.

"Okay, guys, put down your work and listen to me." In the locker room in Dortmund, the last one who came in was always their head coach Klopp. He also closed the door and slapped his hands loudly.

All the busy Dortmund players stopped and turned to look at him.

"There is no doubt that this is the most important game of our season, and it is more important than any league. Because this game determines who will become the king of Europe." Klopp began. "There are people outside who are worried that we will lack motivation after we win the league championship... But I know that none of you are satisfied with just winning the league championship. We have been a league championship in these three seasons, but so what? Our goal is the Champions League championship!"

Klopp spread his hands out.

"To be honest, I'm only worried about whether we're going to feel relaxed when we beat Bayern Munich in the league? Will we underestimate the opponent? I think this is very likely. Remember that in the past week, I have reminded you more than once to forget the league? You must know that the Champions League and the domestic league are two completely different events. We can beat Bayern Munich in the league, which does not mean that we can do this in the Champions League. If we don't invest 100%, then we will lose in the end!"

Klopp's tone became stern.

"After sixteen years, are we just coming to 'go here'? No! Of course not! We have overcome so many difficulties just to win the runner-up? No! Of course not!" Klopp waved his fist hard, his body language and passionate tone infected the Dortmund players in the locker room. "This season, we came from behind in the league and won the championship. Now we are one last step away. Don't leave any regrets for this wonderful season! In this way, when you recall the 2012-2013 season several years later, you will be proud that you did not waste time, put all your efforts, and reap the rewards as expected!"

Meanwhile, in the locker room of Bayern Munich, Heinkes was mobilizing his players: "I know there is a view outside now that it is a battle of revenge. Because in the league, they beat us and gave us a season ahead of us and lost the league championship. I don't deny this view, in a sense, it is indeed revenge. But I have another view, I think it is also a battle of redemption."

The old coach looked around his players.

"From 2010, this is our third time to reach the Champions League final in four years. We are familiar with this stage, but we always serve as a foil for others. 2010 was Inter Milan and Chelsea last year. The two-time Champions League final loss had a great impact on us. The runner-up seemed to have become a huge rock on all of us. No team could have the courage to face the third challenge if they failed to reach the Champions League final in a short period of time. But I am happy to accept such a challenge. In my opinion, Bayern Munich, who can reach the Champions League final three times in four years, is very powerful, and only one can defeat us. Rather than fighting Dortmund in today's final, it is better to say that we are fighting us in the past and shadows that shrouded our heads. If we fall for the third time, many people will say that this is our fate. But are you willing?"

There was no voice in the locker room, but Heinx had already seen the unwilling flames burning in the eyes of many players.

"There are many strong people in the world who can defeat countless opponents, but I think the real strong people are those who can defeat themselves. Today, you have such an opportunity to be a real strong person. Thank God for putting this opportunity in front of you. Please don't let it go in vain."

Some players stood up excitedly and shouted loudly: "We must win this time!"
