Champion’s Heart

The game is still going on at a very intense and fiery pace.

The players on both sides did not restrain themselves because of Gagelman's two yellow cards, and they still played as they wanted.

Everyone on the court was flipping over, Zhou Yi fell down several times, and there were several dirty spots on the turf on his jersey.

In the fierce confrontation, Schalke 04 had the advantage. In the 35th minute, they broke Dortmund's goal again.

The person who scored this time was Huntelaar, and the assist for him was Japanese full-back Atsuhito Uchida.

When Huntelaar pushed the football into the Dortmund goal, the cheers above Schalke Stadium were so loud that it seemed to lift the roof of the stadium.

Schalke 04 fans let out all the emotions they had accumulated for several seasons - in the past few seasons, Schalke 04 had never won against Dortmund. It became one-sided, and any Schalke 04 fan was filled with anger.

Now Schalke 04 leads Dortmund by two goals in the game, something that has never happened in a Ruhr derby in recent years.

In the Ruhr area derby at this stadium last season, Schalke 04 only led Dortmund by one goal.

A one-goal lead is an unsafe score, but a two-goal lead is considered safe by many people.

Schalke 04 fans are full of confidence in the team to win this Ruhr area derby because of this two-goal lead. Therefore, their cheers were particularly loud. They seemed to have seen the future of the team winning this game. They would celebrate well then, not only for defeating Dortmund in the Ruhr derby, but also because their archrival Dortmund lost in the League Three. The dream of consecutive championships was shattered.

Huntelaar!! His goal can be said to be crucial! Marcel Leif said. Perhaps this is a goal that determines the league championship! At this time in Munich, there must be many Bayern Munich fans cheering!

Dortmund did not play as well as Schalke 04 in the first half. Being two goals behind can be said to have pushed them to a dead end. It is not that there is no hope at all, but at least the chance of winning this game has become very small. Low. I think being realistic, it would be good if Dortmund can equalize the score in the next game. It is better to get one point than not to get one at all, right? Duan Xin also said the same.

On the domestic Internet, the quarrel between Bayern Munich fans and Dortmund fans also heated up because of this goal. Bayern Munich fans ridiculed Dortmund fans that their league championship was about to fly away, while Dortmund fans cursed Duan Xin, a Bayern Munich fan. The commentator does not deserve to be in the commentary box.

The first half of the game ended with Schalke 04's two-goal lead. During the halftime break, Klopp made adjustments to the team's lineup. He was going to replace Hummels with Shaheen, so that As a result, Dortmund only has three defenders on the back line. This is a very risky substitution. Facing the high morale of Schalke 04, Dortmund's defense with only three defenders is not sure whether it can withstand Schalke 04's attack in the second half.

But Klopp had to make this substitution because in the first half, Zhou Yi was severely restrained by Schalke 04 and someone needed to step up to share the pressure for him.

Shaheen is the best candidate.

He is a player with both offense and defense. After playing, one person can play the role of two people, helping the defense in defense, which can somewhat make up for the void in the defense after Hummels comes off the field. In the offense, it can help Zhou Yi share some of the work of organizing the offense. While reducing Zhou Yi's pressure, it can also create more opportunities for Zhou Yi, because once he becomes active, he will inevitably attract Schalke 04's defense. Focus, then the defensive pressure Zhou Yi will face will be much lighter.

So Shaheen is actually a very key figure. Klopp also knows this very well,

Therefore, after making the substitution decision, he spent a long time at halftime telling Shaheen what to do after coming on the field and what others should do.

For Shaheen, this is the first time he has been entrusted with such an important task since returning to Dortmund. In the past, he was positioned as a helper in the team, helping to make up for the leaks, and would not be assigned such an important task.

Shaheen has no objection to this. After all, in the two years since he left Dortmund, the team has undergone earth-shaking changes, won two league championships, and the team has also found a new core. And he himself has been very unsatisfactory whether in Real Madrid or Liverpool. If he comes back and wants to become a pivotal core, it is simply whimsical and unfair to his current Dortmund teammates.

Therefore, he does not have too much vision for his status after returning to Dortmund. He does not expect to be the main force, as long as he can get the chance to play.

But this time, when he was suddenly given an important responsibility, he was a little surprised.

After the halftime break, as the players walked toward the court, Zhou Yi and Shaheen walked together.

Shaheen lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was worried.

Zhou Yi patted his back: What are you thinking about, Nuri?

Ah... Shaheen was woken up by the slap. I'm thinking about the second half and I don't know if I can do it...

Don't think so much, Nuri, just play as you usually do. Zhou Yi said.

But if we lose... Shaheen is worried that his performance is not good enough and the team will lose the game.

You won't lose. Zhou Yi encouraged him with a smile. We have a full forty-five minutes. Then you push forward more and I'll be behind you.

Shaheen didn't know where Zhou Yi's confidence came from, but he didn't seem to blindly release negative energy. If he always emphasized in front of his teammates that the team might lose, such a person would not be liked.

Seeing that he was about to reach the player's tunnel, Zhou Yi patted Shaheen on the shoulder again: This is the Bundesliga stadium you are familiar with, Nouri, you are wearing a Dortmund jersey now, there is nothing to worry about, just like you were here before. Just play like that!

After saying that, he accelerated and passed Shaheen and ran onto the court.

Shaheen was left alone, stopped, looked at his back, and thought about what he said.

Then he looked down at the jersey he was wearing, a yellow and black Dortmund jersey.

Before the second half of the game, Dortmund made substitution adjustments. Shaheen came on and replaced Hummels.

Klopp's substitution... It's understandable to replace Shaheen. After all, he can strengthen the control of Dortmund's midfield and share Zhou Yi's work pressure. But replacing Hummels... there are only three defenders. Dortmund's Can the back line withstand Schalke 04's offensive? Or can Shaheen play his due role before their defense is overwhelmed by Schalke 04? Marcel Leif said to Schalke 04 Klopp raised questions about this substitution adjustment. He was a little confused about what Klopp was thinking when he arranged such a substitution adjustment.

When Shaheen ran onto the court, he heard the cheers from the Schalke 04 fans in the rear stands. They were laughing at him, a loser who went to a wealthy club and then returned to Dortmund.

Indeed, when he resolutely chose to leave Dortmund and go to Real Madrid, he left the impression that he was desperate at all costs to go to a wealthy club. However, what he got after such a desperate switch was that he could not even play games in a wealthy club. , and finally had to return to the place where he had been abandoned to regain his form. After he went out for a while, he came back to the team that he once regarded as the core, but he could only play as a substitute. This is really ironic.

Therefore, there is nothing you can do about being laughed at.

This was the price he had to pay for his youthful and frivolous comeback, including everything now.

But you can't always live in the troubles of the past, right?

We still have to look forward and move forward.

Shaheen looked down at the yellow and black Dortmund jersey he was wearing again, and then raised his head. In front of him, there were nine people wearing the same jersey as him. They were his teammates and former teammates.

Back then, I was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the world was so big that there was no place for me. The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap. I want to make a name for myself in the wider world outside.

But after being bruised and exhausted, I realized that the desire to go home was so strong.

So when Real Madrid wanted to loan him out again, he chose to loan him back to Dortmund.

Because for him, this is home.

Return home and let your wandering mind regain peace. I also draw energy from home and start anew.

He steps onto the field and runs toward those wearing the same jersey as him. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
