Legendary Road

The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals will be a week later on April 4. Before that, Dortmund will challenge Borussia Mönchengladbach away.

Most of the Bundesliga season has passed. Counting the game against Borussia, there are still 7 rounds in total, and a total of 21 points can be scored.

The top ranking is still the Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich. Werder Bremen, which was thriving in the first half of the season, began to appear unstable in the second half.Although their leading striker Klose has unabated firepower, the ups and downs of the defense and frequent mistakes made them lose a lot of points, which caused them to be left behind by 5 points behind the stable Dortmund.

The Bundesliga is currently ranked third in Europe in terms of European points, and only the top three are eligible to participate in the Champions League.Hamburg, currently ranked fourth, is only one point behind Werder Bremen, and they are also eyeing a place in the Champions League.

April 4st is the annual April Fool's Day, and it is also the day when Dortmund will play away against Borussia.

In the pre-match interview, Yan Jing looked sad. He told reporters that more than half of the entire team had a cold and flu, and now they can't even make up an 11-man starting lineup.

Yan Jing's superb and realistic acting skills, coupled with Dortmund players wearing masks and pretending to be listless, even Bild, which has news sources in various clubs, was deceived—even if they knew they were fools today Festival.

Many newspapers and periodicals have published and reproduced this news one after another. Because it is accompanied by pictures of all Dortmund fans wearing masks, many fans believe it to be true.And Borussia fans are even more openly and secretly happy, and even gather together to gloat.

Dortmund has been really unlucky recently, hahahaha!Without the main force, we still have no problem winning this game!

When the game officially started in the evening, when Borussia Park fans were looking forward to a big victory, they were all dumbfounded when they saw Dortmund's starting list on the big screen.

What the hell?Didn't it mean that you can't even make up the first 11 players? !

Dortmund's players were alive and well on the field, and Borussia's defense was turned upside down, and there was no sign of weakness from the flu at all.

At this moment, Borussia Mönchengladbach felt the deep malice from the world from the coach to the fans.

They looked at the bright smile on Yan Jing's face on the bench, with tears in their eyes, speechless.

Can you be less routine and more sincere? !

In the end, Dortmund took Borussia 3-0 cleanly.

After the game, when the reporter asked about it, Yan Jing showed surprise: "Today is April Fool's Day..."

The reporters who had been played around looked at Yan Jing's surprised and innocent expression, and always felt that Yan Jing, who was hesitant to speak, said "Are you stupid?"

Of course we fucking know it's April Fool's Day!But you acted too realistically!

This incident spread throughout European football within a day, providing the best material of the year for the jokers who had been silent for a long time.

In Nick's room, the PS interface is displayed on the screen of his laptop.He opened the poster of the movie "Mission: Impossible", and then expertly cut out Yan Jing's face to cover the face of the leading actor Tom Cruise, and then turned the faces of other actors into various Dortmund players.

Then he put masks on everyone, and after some color correction, he added the text "Mission: Influenza Suspect".After he was done, he posted this photo on social networking sites, and it was immediately forwarded and liked by many people.

In the major football forums, this incident was also ridiculed by fans frantically. Nick clicked on one and was laughed at by the content.

Post subject: Mission: Impossible 3 will be released in May this year, what do you think of Yan Jing going to Hollywood to make a guest appearance in Mission: Impossible 4?

……

Then the main building was turned into the Leaning Tower of Pisa by the two Dortmund fans and the Schalke fans, and the discussion turned into a fight.

On April 4, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals ignited the flames of war. Dortmund ushered in the powerful Barcelona in Westfalen.After this period of all-round mentality adjustment from the head coach to the players, the whole team is very relaxed.Instead of letting go of the pressure in their hearts, they kicked out their own style, unlike being overwhelmed and unable to stand up like they were in the Nou Camp in the first round.

The two teams fought against each other, the scene was brilliant, and the goals were scored one after another. In the end, Dortmund lost to Barcelona 2-3 because of the difference in strength.However, after the game, the media had a good evaluation of Dortmund's game. In this game, striker Everton scored twice and scored the highest score of 8.3 in the Dortmund team.

After the game, Yan Jing led the players to the South Stand to thank the fans who supported them.

Although Dortmund was eliminated 2-5 on aggregate, the Westphalia fans responded with more enthusiasm than usual.

They can see the infinite possibilities exuded by this Dortmund under the Chinese rule.

Throughout the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Juventus eliminated Lyon with a total score of 3-2 in two rounds.The dark horse Benfica suffered the same fate as Dortmund. They failed to create a miracle and went one step further, losing 1-4 to Carlo Ancenotti's AC Milan in two rounds.The strong dialogue between Inter Milan and Arsenal ended with Arsenal having the last laugh.

The next Champions League match will have nothing to do with Dortmund, and then the entire schedule will be the German Cup semi-final against Frankfurt on April 4, and 12 Bundesliga games.The opponents in these six games are Leverkusen, Hertha Berlin, Nuremberg, Hannover 6, Frankfurt and the final round of Bayern Munich.

Among them, only Nuremberg, which is ranked 9th, can be said to have no desires-their points have ensured that they will not be relegated next season, but it is unlikely that they will rush to the front European theater.Hertha Berlin and Leverkusen are now 5th and 6th in the standings. They are temporarily in the European theater, but if they are not careful, they will be overtaken by Stuttgart behind them.The 12th and 13th Hannover 96 and Frankfurt and the 16th Kaiserslautern are only 6 points apart. The teams near the relegation zone are fighting fiercely, and they dare not take it lightly.

As for the last round of Bayern Munich, let alone, this is their direct competitor on the way to the championship.At present, Dortmund is still 5 points behind the top-ranked Bayern Munich. If you want to catch up with Bayern, you must first ensure that you do not make any mistakes.

However, the Dortmund team is too young, lacks championship experience, and their schedule is not easy. Some pessimistic media predict that they will collapse in the final stage of the season.

The next two games seemed to be exactly as the media said. Dortmund first accidentally lost 0-1 to Frankfurt in the German Cup semi-finals, and then drew 1-1 with Leverkusen in the league.Bayern still continued their good momentum in this round of the game, beating Mainz 2-0.As a result, the point difference between the two teams in the standings has been widened to 7 points, and there are five games left. It is quite difficult to catch up.

But Dortmund did not collapse to the end as described by the media. They won the next four games and successfully silenced those who questioned them.

However, this wave of beautiful four-game winning streak still cannot bring Dortmund the championship-Dortmund is in a stable state, but the opponent Bayern Munich is also in a stable state. They have achieved 3 wins and 2 draws in these five games.

Dortmund narrowed the difference between the two teams to 4 points, but there is only the last round of the Bundesliga.Even if they can win at the Allianz Arena in the end, the championship still belongs to the Bayern Munich club.

On the other hand, there is also good news. The teams behind Dortmund failed to create better results.Bremen, which is now ranked third, is still five points away from Dortmund. That is to say, in the last round of the Bundesliga, even if Dortmund loses a 0-30 ranking, there will be no change.

The major leagues are coming to an end one after another, just when the fans thought that another season would end peacefully, Gazzetta dello Sport suddenly dropped a blockbuster to the entire European football world.

In the early morning of May 5th, an Inter Milan fan came to the door of the bookstore he frequented as usual.He glanced at the various newspapers in front of him, and then accurately picked up "Gazzetta dello Sport" to read.

The fan's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the cover title, and then he looked at the specific content. He couldn't describe his current mood.

Fuck, fuck!Moji is a scumbag!Disgusting!

The article discloses the content of the phone calls between Juventus club general manager Moggi and Serie A referee designators in recent years.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" took out all dry goods. They took out the content of many phone conversations between Nemoggi and Serie A referee designator Paireto in 2004.

One of them involved a Serie A match between Juventus and Reggina in November 2004.In that game, the referee Papalesta made several unfavorable penalties for Juventus. Such judgments naturally made Juventus extremely dissatisfied.

At that time, after the game ended, Papa Lesta once disappeared from people's vision.According to the recording data exposed by Gazzetta dello Sport this time, Moggi admitted proudly during the call with his wife that he locked Papa Lesta indoors at that time.

"I locked the referee. I've locked the door and taken the key, haha, maybe they're planning to remove the door now."

Such an explosive scandal immediately spread to the streets and alleys, and the real-time reports were as hot as ever, and immediately surpassed the UEFA Champions League final that will be held at the Stade de France in the near future.

Shortly after the news came to light, the Italian Football Association President Carraro and Vice President Mazzini resigned one after another.Italy's four major judicial procuratorates also immediately stepped in and started a comprehensive investigation, and more and more scandals were dug up.

The executives of the various clubs who have done bad things are panicked, fearing that they will be found out at any time, and they are doing public relations while frantically destroying evidence.

As someone who has been there, this "Telephone Gate Incident" has only one meaning in Yan Jing's eyes - Juventus Supermarket will open soon, everyone, come and choose, if you miss this village, you will not have this store !

In Dortmund's head coach's office, Yan Jing leaned on the back of the leather chair with his legs crossed, enjoying a rare leisure time.Today's training, Yan Jing, only lasted an hour and ended early to let the players move freely. The players are also quite relaxed, and there is no burden on their shoulders.

The email displayed on the computer screen was sent by Zorke. Regarding the two documents that Yan Jing handed over to him more than a month ago, Zorke’s reply summed up the following meanings.

1. Many clubs have already asked them for various players, the players you want to keep, they have all rejected these offers.

2. Among the rest of the players, there are many players who will not be able to sell for a good price because there are not many opportunities to play this season. This needs to be mentally prepared.

3. Everyone on Yan Jing's signing list, they have sent scouts to investigate, they are indeed good candidates, and the club will try their best to win them.They previously believed that several well-known players would not condescend to join Dortmund, but due to the emergence of the "Phonegate Incident", several Serie A clubs were facing relegation decisions, and the opportunity to buy appeared again.

4. Since the UEFA Champions League bonuses this season and the Bundesliga broadcast fees they can receive next season exceeded their estimates, all the funds obtained from selling players in this summer's transfer window can be used to sign up.If there is a special need, the club can provide an additional 500 million euros to help Yan Jing choose his favorite players.

The last point makes Yan Jing very happy. If the transfer of players goes well, Yan Jing estimates that he will have about 3500 million euros in funds for signings this summer window.

Recently, the good news kept coming. Yan Jing, who was in a good mood, hummed a cheerful ditty by the Beatles, and swayed the swivel chair.

At this moment, a dull knock on the door came unexpectedly.Yan Jing stopped swinging his body, wondering who would visit at this time.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

As a result, it was the Czech high center Jan Kohler who walked in. He looked at Yan Jing with a nervous expression.

Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at the tall man in front of him: "Yang? You haven't left yet, what's the matter?"

Jan Kohler nodded: "Boss...I want to talk about my contract."

Hearing that there was something serious to do, Yan Jing hurriedly called the other party to sit down.

"What's the matter, I remember your contract expires next year, is there any problem?"

"It's like this..." Jan Kohler looked a little embarrassed, "A week ago, Monaco contacted my agent, and they invited me to play with them next season."

The Czech giant's words revealed his separation, Yan Jing paused and asked calmly: "Then are you going to accept their invitation?"

Meeting the eyes of his head coach, Jan Kohler sighed, and finally nodded.In March of this year, he celebrated his 3nd birthday. This age is definitely not young for a center forward. It can be said that he has entered the end of his career.

Seeing Jan Kohler nodding, Yan Jing felt troubled - his team plan for next season had Jan Kohler's name in it.

Although as he grows older, Jan Kohler's physical strength is no longer enough to cope with the faster and faster modern football games throughout the game, and his movements are not as flexible as when he was young.But what Yan Jing valued was Jan Kohler's experience. Now that Dortmund's players are getting younger and younger, an experienced veteran is needed on the field to stabilize the morale of the army.

Originally, Yan Jing's wishful thinking was to let the young new players joining next season rotate with Jan Kohler at the center position, so that the new players could learn some experience from Jan Kohler.After a year, the new aid is more mature in all aspects, and Yan Jing will definitely not have any objections when Yang Kohler is released at that time.

Jan Kohler sat on the chair and waited for a while, but Yan Jing was still silent, and he couldn't help but speak again.

"Boss, I'm 32 years old. I enjoy playing football, but the days are dwindling."

Yan Jing looked up at Jan Kohler and listened carefully to what he said.

"I have been very happy during the years I have played in Dortmund. Although the team has also encountered very difficult moments, we have survived."

For Jan Kohler, Yan Jing has a lot of memories.He came to Borussia Dortmund five years ago from Anderlecht, the overlord of the Bundesliga, and formed the famous Bundesliga frontcourt trident with Brazilian striker Amoruso and compatriot Rosicky.

The ability of this big man who is taller than the goalkeeper is definitely among the best among tall centers in world football. He has no obvious weaknesses.Like many tall players, they usually appear clumsy in turning or some detailed movements, but Jan Kohler can make dribbling breakthroughs that small players are good at.

Jan Kohler has been a huge help to Dortmund's attacking system over the past few years.He has an innate physical advantage, and he is also good at using his body to take the lead on the court.At the same time, he is also a good partner of the offensive organizer. The scene where he uses the header to ferry and assist his teammates is not uncommon for Dortmund fans.

Off the court, Jan Kohler is even more low-key. He is kind and doesn't put on airs. In the past few years, he has never caused any trouble for Dortmund.

In an interview with reporters, he said: "All the hype about me is not good for me. I need to be quiet so that I can concentrate on football."

"A player's career life is short," Jan Kohler said calmly. "I have to think about the rest of my family, boss."

Yeah... you're absolutely right.Yan Jing sighed silently.

What Jan Kohler said is true, athletes are using their youth to fight for their future lives.At the end of your career, the idea of ​​earning more money for later consideration is something anyone would think of as selfish.

On the contrary, his own thoughts seem to be selfish. Why should the veteran stay behind for the future of others?

During Dortmund's most difficult period, the Czech chose to accept a salary cut and did not leave the team. At that time, he could clearly find a club that could provide him with more salary.

The toughest days are over and now it's time to give Jan Kohler a little something back.

Thinking of this, Yan Jing made up his mind: "Yang, have you decided?"

Jan Kohler nodded heavily.

Yan Jing stood up from the swivel chair, and he smiled.

"Jan, did I tell you before that I'm actually your fan?"

The next day, a message was published on the homepage of Dortmund's official website.

The team has amicably terminated the contract of Czech center Jan Kohler, who played for Borussia Dortmund for five years, and he will move to Monaco as a free agent next season.

Below the title is a message written by Yan Jing himself.

In five years, you scored 62 goals and 22 assists for the team, but your significance to the team is far more than these statistics.

You are our dearest "Czech Giant" and those goals you made us laugh are some of the best moments in the memory of the fans.

Thank you for your contribution over the years, thank you for persevering in the team's difficult times, and thank you for dedicating your best years to Dortmund.

Dino [Note 1], we will never forget the time when you wore the yellow and black jersey. You will always be an important member of the Dortmund family.

I wish you all the best for your future journey.

Your forever fan, Yan Jing.

Jan Kohler's contract with Dortmund is still one year away. At this time, he chooses to terminate the contract with Jan Kohler, which means that the team cannot get any transfer fee from Monaco.

But correspondingly, since Monaco did not pay the transfer fee, they will provide Jan Kohler with a more favorable salary contract.

When Jan Kohler saw this passage on the official website, he was stunned on the spot, foolishly repeating the words written by Yan Jing repeatedly.

Of course he understands Yan Jing's good intentions, and he can imagine how much Yan Jing has worked hard to help him get this peaceful termination from Watzke.

The Czech giant, who was always resolute as a rock, raised his arms to cover his eyes, but the hot tears still couldn't stop pouring down from his eyes, silently moistening his soft heart.

Boss, thank you.

I will never forget you and Dortmund.

The author has something to say: Note 1: The nickname given to Jan Kohler by fans.

Thank you little angels for your compliments, happy.

The 6000-word chapter is thick and long, and today's two updates are all in it!I originally wanted to divide it into chapters, but I still couldn't help but finish the plot.

I always have a lot of respect for players like Jan Kohler.

I'll be wrapping up the season in the next chapter.
