Although the distance between Schalke and Dortmund is very close, Zhou Yi did not mean to let his parents watch the game away.

The Ruhr Derby is rare, and this is also the first time that my parents have had the opportunity to watch the Ruhr Derby on site.

However, Zhou Yi believes that compared to watching football on the spot, life safety is more important.

He is not scammering and scaring people, in fact, there are indeed hidden dangers in the Ruldby.

In the Ruhr area, a region that supports heavy industries such as coal and steel, is stagnating due to industrial adjustments and energy depletion, more and more unemployed workers have become unstable factors in social security.

In 1979, Schalke's football hooligans formed the most notorious violent group in Germany, "Gelsenszene". The Dortmund's football hooligans responded in 1982 and established the "Borussenfront" that promoted Fasi'sism.

In the time after that, two violent teams began to fight and crush each other.

There is a statistics that illustrate the problem: when Schalke 04 met Bayern Munich in the league in the 1984-1985 season, a total of 64,000 fans would go to home to watch the game. However, during the Roulder derby, the number of spectators dropped sharply to 41,000.

Isn't it said that the Ruhr Derby is full and the atmosphere is warm? Is it because Schalke 04's fans are not loyal enough?

Of course not, because many fans don’t just give their lives like they go to watch a game...

So many fans dare not go to watch the game on site.

The situation is not much better now.

In a Ruhr derby last year, a large-scale conflict broke out between fans of both sides, and the police finally arrested more than 200 people...

Dortmund and Schalke 04 have become increasingly hostile in recent decades. Every derby war is like a war.

This may be related to the two teams' alternating glory and decline over the past decade. When one side is brilliant, the other side will decline. The brilliant side is naturally domineering, and the declining side will naturally dislike the eyes.

From 1999 to 2005, Schalke 04 remained unbeaten in the Roul derby for seven years and had a clear advantage. That period was also when Dortmund was in a fiscal crisis and his performance declined severely.

However, since Klopp coached Dortmund, the situation has gradually reversed. To be precise, it was actually since Zhou Yi started playing in the first team of Dortmund, and the balance of victory and loss has been reversed.

Since the 2008-2009 season, Dortmund and Schalke 04 have had ten confrontations, nine of which were in the league and the German Super Cup.

Among these ten matches, Dortmund only lost one game. In the first half of the 2009-2010 season, Dortmund lost 1:0 to Schalke at home 04. Zhou Yi watched that game in the south stands at West** Stadium, and he was deeply impressed.

He then got a chance to play against Hoffenheim. Since then, when Dortmund met Schalke 04 in the Roul derby, he not only never lost, but also didn't even draw, and he won all the wins!

So some media say that Zhou Yi is Schalke 04's real nemesis. No wonder Schalke 04, both the team coach and the media reporter, cares very much whether Zhou Yi can play this time...

There was also a war of words with Schalke 04 reporters. He once used Newton's second law to mock Schalke 04's reporters' ignorance, so he is naturally a thorn in the eyes of Schalke 04 fans.

He doesn't want his parents to take this risk...

So, although Zhou Jianliang wanted to go to the scene to experience the atmosphere of the hottest derby in Germany, Zhou Yi still did not dare to satisfy his wish. He could only watch live TV in a high-end apartment with complete security facilities...

※※※

This highly anticipated game was closely watched two hours before the start because the two teams will announce the starting list at this time.

The home team Schalke 04 announced the starting roster, starting goalkeeper Hildebran, starting defenders Atsuto Uchida, Hovedes, Matip, Ogo. Starting midfielders Fox, Yang Muge, Roman Neusttet, Kevin Prince Boateng, Draxler, and the starting striker was only Adam Sholoy.

In fact, the first two teams in this game were both troubled by injuries.

Needless to say, Schalke 04's main striker Hunterlaal and Falfan both missed the game due to injury, and the main midfielder Hoggle also missed due to injury.

Because he missed three important main players, Jens Keller was very concerned about whether Zhou Yi could play. If Zhou Yi could not play, he would breathe a sigh of relief.

He is also paying close attention to the movements in Dortmund.

But two hours before the game, Dortmund did not announce the starting list.

This is a bit contrary to common sense.

Generally speaking, the starting list is announced two hours before the game, which is what many teams do. Dortmund did this before, even in the Roulder Derby.

Therefore, it is incomprehensible to use the statement that "this is a Roulderby and needs to be treated with caution" to explain this behavior.

Then why has Klopp been slow to announce the starting list?

This has attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone in the media table was whispering, guessing the reason.

"Maybe hesitate to let Zhou Yi appear? Or in what form, right?"

"It seems that Zhou Yi's physical condition may not be as good as he told us? That's why the coaching staff hesitated about whether he should appear?"

"I used to think Dortmund was putting smoke bombs. Now it seems that I am really forced to put Zhou Yi on the big list?"

"It's over, Dortmund's game is a disaster..."

...

Jens Keller has been paying attention to Dortmund's starting list. After finding that Dortmund had not announced the list, he and his assistant got together to discuss it.

The conclusion they came to in the end was similar to everyone's conclusion in the media, that is, Klopp must be hesitant about letting Zhou Yi appear. If Zhou Yi's physical condition is really fine, then without saying a word, it must be arranged on the starting list.

As a result, the starting list has not been released so far, so it must be that something went wrong with Zhouyi.

This shows that Zhou Yi's body has not yet recovered completely, and he may not have met the standard of playing. There may be a struggle between Zorke and team doctor team leader Braun.

Keller could even imagine a scene of Dortmund's internal struggle.

If this is true, it will be a good result for Schalke 04.

Any team, when they start to become disunited within, is when they go downhill.

※※※

It was not until the warm-up of both players before the game that Dortmund announced their starting list for this game.

Keller also got the starting list as soon as possible.

When he couldn't wait to unfold the list, he was shocked.

"Is Zhou Yi's starting lineup?" He stared at Zhou Yi's name on the starting lineup and asked in surprise.

Keller was not the only one who asked similar questions.

In the media seats, on the Internet.

Everyone asked the same question.

"Zhou Yi started?!"

"Zhou Yi actually started?!"

Yes, Zhou Yi started.

In the starting list announced by Dortmund, Zhou Yi is on the list!

Klopp has been putting smoke bombs before. When it comes to real, the smoke bombs can no longer be released. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be stupid to wrap yourself in?

So the answer to the mystery was announced in the end, and Zhou Yi was still the first release.

However, after being surprised and surprised by the first release of Zhou Yi, many people have different opinions.

Some people think that Dortmund has been placing smoke bombs before, hiding them well, but now he has finally revealed his true purpose. If this is the case, it means that Zhou Yi has no problem with his physical fitness, but he can play games.

Some people also think that this does not mean any problem. They insist on their previous judgment and believe that the Dortmund coaching staff made this decision after hesitation and struggle. This does not mean that Zhou Yi met the requirements of playing games, and perhaps it was a last resort?

Jens Keller is the latter.

This is the case, and he may not be able to do the latter if he doesn't want to do it.

Besides, he doesn't have time to temporarily adjust his tactics and arrange staffing... he can only bite his teeth.

"What should I do?" the assistant coach asked him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Continue our tactics, focus on us, no matter how they change. We will try to defeat Dortmund's arrogance in the first half!"

When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said, not knowing whether it was because of anger or fear...

Zhou Yi started, which really brought him a big impact.

After all, that's Zhou Yi...
