At 1:00 a.m. on November 24, Beijing time, half an hour before the "national derby" between Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

Whether in the studio in Beijing or in front of Germany, the commentators were ready.

The scene was heard during the broadcast.

The West** Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is full, especially the famous South Stand.

The TV broadcast gave several close-ups in the stands, and almost every close-up appeared Dortmund fans holding attack Gotzer slogans.

Among them, there was even a white-haired old lady fan who stood in the south stand holding a slogan with the words "Judah Götze".

This old lady looks kind-hearted and purposeful. If she is usually incredible, she can do such a thing.

But this is football. Football can always amplify people's feelings exponentially, whether it is love or hate.

In addition to attacking Gotze's various slogans, the starting lineup is also the most concerned topic. Because both teams have suffered large-scale injuries, in this case, the starting lineup of the head coaches of the two teams will naturally test them.

In the starting list announced by Bayern Munich, the most popular Gotze did not appear in it, but Lewandowski started.

Regarding this starting list, everyone is speculating why Guardiola did not let Goze start.

Some people think this is Guardiola's protection against Gotze - knowing that Gotze will definitely be hated and hostile to Dortmund fans when he returns to West* Stadium, so he simply put him on the bench. At least Dortmund fans will have much less time to target Gotze, and Gotze will not have that much pressure.

But some people think that Guardiola didn't think so much. He just simply distrusts Gotze. He believes that in such an environment, Gotze will bear a heavy psychological burden and perform abnormally. Letting him play, Bayern Munich is equivalent to bringing a burden.

On Dortmund, Subotic, Hummels and Schmelzer will definitely miss the game.

Fortunately, although Friedrich was injured in the warm-up match, after being examined by the team doctor, he believed that he could still play against Bayern Munich.

So Friedrich just joined the team and was arranged in the main lineup of this highlight. He will play as a central defender with Papastasopoulos.

In addition, Piszczek has just recovered from injury, but has been out of the game for a long time and is in poor condition. Klopp put him on the bench list and did not let him start.

On the back line, Klopp made up everything and finally got a set of four-person defense lines.

Groskreuz and Dulm played two full-backs, while Papastasopoulos and Friedrich partnered to play central defenders.

Although I finally got enough defenses for four people, this did not make people feel at ease.

After all, Friedrich has been out of the battle for a long time and his condition has declined very quickly, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point where he has no ball to play and nowhere to go. He only trained at Dortmund's training base for a week and was about to appear immediately to deal with such a powerful opponent as Bayern Munich... How long can he last?

Moreover, the tacit understanding between him and his partner Papastasopoulos is also what everyone is worried about.

Marcel Leif mentioned this in the online program before and after the game, and he believed that Guardiola would make a big fuss about this.

He Ping also expressed the same concern: "In terms of bench thickness, it seems that Bayern Munich is more advantageous now. In this game, five players on both sides missed the game. But Bayern Munich can still have a luxurious substitute lineup like Gotze, Thiago, and Van Biden. In contrast, Dortmund's substitute lineup is really unchanged for thousands of years. It's not that Klopp is not flexible, but no one is available... Perhaps the only variable on Dortmund's bench is Yan Min. He was selected into the 18-man roster in this game, but he was not able to enter the starting lineup. I think this should be the backup hand left by Klopp..."

While commentators commented on the starting lineups of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Klopp was cheering his players in the locker room.

"Since October 3, 2010, we beat Bayern Munich 2-0 at home, it has been three years since we haven't lost to Bayern Munich at home. This time, we have encountered great difficulties and the situation is very serious... But this is not a serious situation in a game, and we have to face more than just a game against Bayern Munich. I don't want to whitewash the peace and tell everyone there is no problem. On the contrary, our problem is very serious now, and I hope each of you can have a clear understanding of this."

When Klopp said this, his tone and expression were very serious, so the atmosphere in the locker room was also very serious, even a little solemn.

"But when we encounter difficulties, do we have to retreat? No! Of course no! If we encounter difficulties, we retreat. We can't have been the league champion and the Champions League last season! Facts have proved again and again that Dortmund is a team that cannot be defeated! We have encountered the economic crisis in our eyes, and even the club almost went bankrupt. Compared to this, what is the wave of injuries? But haven't we still been able to survive? And we have won the league championship and a Champions League championship for three consecutive seasons! There are no difficulties to defeat us!"

"The match against Bayern Munich is a great opportunity to prove it to the world. No one can beat us at our home court, and Bayern Munich can't do it either!"

In the locker room of the visiting team next door, Guardiola was calmly making a final tactic for his players: "Although their defense is pieced together, we can't just pierce it. If you face them with a very relaxed mentality, then we will suffer. I hope you will be more patient in the first half and don't always think about a pass or a breakthrough to successfully get rid of Dortmund's defense. They will definitely be full of fighting spirit at the beginning of the game, which is a problem. But as the game goes by, they will show fatigue in both physical fitness and mentality. Until that time, it will be our opportunity..."

When players on both sides appear in the passage one after another, they don’t look at each other with friendly eyes.

Even Lewandowski, a player who has many old acquaintances in Dortmund, did not take the initiative to say hello when he saw his former teammates.

None of his former teammates wanted to come up and talk to him about the past, and looked straight ahead and regarded the Bayern Munich player next to him as air.

At this time, the host Norbert Dicole on the scene was broadcasting Dortmund's starting lineup.

Every time he shouts someone's name, cheers of tsunamis will sound.

After broadcasting Dortmund's starter, he did not forget to mention Bayern Munich.

"Next, let us welcome the opponents who have come from afar, Bayern Munich, the double runner-up in the Bundesliga and Champions League last season -!!"

A burst of booing sounded suddenly at the scene, mixed with some laughter.

As the mortal enemy in the league, Dortmund naturally would not be polite to Bayern Munich. Norbert Dikor directly stabbed Bayern Munich in the wound and did not forget to sprinkle salt.

But on the other hand, when Dortmund visits Allianz Stadium, they will also enjoy similar treatments.

When Gotze walked out of the passage, he instantly became the focus of the reporters' attention. Of course, the booing sounds in the stands were also shocking.

Amid the booing, Gotze did not go directly to Bayern Munich's bench, but turned to Dortmund's coaching seat, and then Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, said hello.

Klopp turned his head and saw that it was Gotze, and smiled on his face, and then hugged Gotze. Although Gotze's sudden "betrayal" hurt Klopp, it has been so long since the incident, and the parties involved may no longer care, so they can smile and eliminate their grudges when they meet again.

Of course, it is also possible that Klopp is still unhappy with Gotze, but in front of so many people, people cannot think that he, Dortmund's head coach, is a person with low spirits. So no matter what you think in your heart, you must do your face and skills well.

So this simple meeting was quite harmonious - if the booing sounds fluttering over the court were automatically blocked...

After the hug, the two separated, Gotze turned and walked towards the Bayern Munich bench, until he sat down on the bench and the camera and camera lenses in the reporter's hands stopped chasing him.
