"Dear spectators and fans, this is Dortmund. This is the Iduna Park Stadium, formerly known as the Westerpark. This is the largest football stadium in Germany and the home stadium of the Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund.
The main forward of the national team, the black bomber Bai Guanghai, plays here..."
Along with Huang Jianxiang's steady and passionate commentary, CCTV cameras swept through the stands composed of blue, yellow, and red spectators one by one. It was a magnificent stadium, and it seemed that the crazy shouts of Dortmund fans could be heard.
, as the most famous devil's arena, it itself is full of legend.
The only thing that made the Swedish team feel a little disadvantageous was what Huang Jianxiang said and what happened at the gate of the stadium.
"Will you welcome me?" Bai Guanghai squeezed out of the crowd and stood in front of the stadium staff.
The staff member was stunned when he looked up: "Ah, of course you are welcome, bomber, welcome, welcome to, uh, welcome home!"
"No!" Lao Bai walked up with his head shaking, took one of his arms and raised it, then turned back to face the other teammates: "Welcome to Dortmund, welcome to my territory!"
The huge and towering stadium is right behind Lao Bai. None of the other stadium staff around him raised any objections. Instead, they surrounded Lao Bai in a semicircle. Lao Bai has been in stable scoring form in recent years and is still the absolute main force of Dortmund.
, is a contender for the Bundesliga Golden Boot every year, but has never won it once.
In Tubingen a few days ago, Lao Bai was so frustrated. For no other reason, he could always detect Wang Ai's hidden ambition: "I have the final say in my territory." This time it was finally his turn.
Him!
The teammates applauded the staff and walked through the crowd carrying their luggage bags one by one, but they were not honest.
"Show off!" Wang Ai rolled his eyes as he passed by.
"Beautiful!" Zhao Junzhe curled his lips.
"Shameless!" Zhang Yonghai stretched out his little paw, frightening Lao Bai.
There is more than an hour left in the game, and the stadium is already full. There are nearly 70,000 people in the 80,000-person stadium, of which more than 30,000 are Germans, more than 10,000 Swedes and Chinese each, and there are still some empty seats.
, but it’s not that no one came to watch, it’s just that for safety reasons, these are the only tickets sold. For this reason, the Germans have to sit in the middle of the yellow and red squares of fans from the two countries. This color also corresponds to today’s game.
The colors of the jerseys of both sides, since red and yellow cannot be confused, so both parties agreed to wear the home jerseys.
The presence of Lao Bai made the stadium staff more enthusiastic about the Chinese team, and Lao Bai's performance also made the tension of the national team disappear before the big game. After entering the locker room, Lao Bai became even more familiar with the game.
He pointed out familiar things, such as how to use the locker, how to use the shower head, how to use the massage chair... He didn't stop until he was beaten.
After changing the equipment, everyone went out to warm up. When Lao Bai appeared on the turf, there was a burst of applause in the stands, which made both teams puzzled, until Lao Bai in the crowd waved to all directions triumphantly, and got
Everyone frowned when he received a more enthusiastic response.
The Swedes found out that this meant they were playing away games. The Chinese found out that this guy was really popular in Dortmund, but he was too shameless and kept talking.
Perhaps due to Lao Bai's interference, the Swedish team's main goalkeeper was not focused during the warm-up, and was kicked in the face by his teammates. The game was immediately ruined. This was the only direct "benefit" that Lao Bai brought to the Chinese team after half a day of talking.
Half an hour of low-intensity activities allowed everyone to relax their muscles and bones. Under the instructions of FIFA, they returned to the locker room along the player tunnel. 15 minutes later, at 23:45 Beijing time on June 10, 6 German time
At 16:45 on the 10th, the two sides formally lined up and each pulled a small ball boy into the court, which indicated that the game would officially begin.
Both sides stood at attention facing the main stand. A low prelude sounded. Wang Ai, who was at the end of the row, was the first to speak. The whole team sang together. The camera panned over the scene, and the chorus gradually started in the stands. As for whether you can open your mouth or something, you just sing often.
got used to.
As if to show off against the Chinese, the chorus of the Swedish national anthem seemed louder.
After the song was finished, Mellberg, who was holding the team emblem and holding a football under his arm, led the team as the captain of the Swedish team. After shaking hands with the three Argentine football referees, he shook hands with the Chinese team captain Wang Ai, and finally the big man Ibrahimovic.
After the handshake was completed, the two sides formed two rows to take photos and dispersed. The Chinese team played from left to right from the main stand. Wang Ai took the team flag and walked to the center circle to shake hands with Mellberg. After exchanging team flags,
The referee took out a silver coin and asked the two men. In the end, Mellberg won and did not ask for the venue, but directly asked for the kick-off right.
After a few more minutes of activity, the two sides slowly gathered toward the center, and the game was about to begin.
Taking advantage of the last moment before the game, the commentator Huang Jianxiang gave everyone some knowledge about the paper strength of both sides. Since the Chinese team rarely has the opportunity to break out of Asia, there is almost no history of confrontation with Sweden. Even if there is, it is either a youth event or it has been a long time.
The reference value is not much. So Huang Jianxiang listed a price list of the players from both sides for comparison. Currently, Wang Ai is the most valuable, with 30 million euros (the reason why there is no increase is mainly because the previous transfer fee had a certain amount of water. It was generally believed at the time
It should be around 25 million euros). Next is Abramovich, worth an estimated 20 million euros, then Bai Guanghai, worth an estimated 15 million euros, followed by Luo Tongliang, worth 8 million euros, and then Larsson, after all, he is 34 years old
Well, based on absolute strength, it should be about 7 million. Then there are Ljungberg, Li Weifeng and others whose worth is generally around three to four million. This is also the standard for the worth of ordinary main players in the five major leagues. After that, they play separately.
Players in domestic leagues in China and Sweden.
After statistics, Huang Jianxiang regretfully told everyone: The Swedish team is 5 million more expensive than the Chinese team, and the strength of the two sides is only one double-color ball!
Wang Ai lowered his head and took a deep breath. Lao Gao, who had been silent before coming on the stage, suddenly said in Wang Ai's ear: "You might have to hold on tighter."
Wang Ailuo thought for a while and nodded without saying anything. Lao Gao seems to be a transparent person in this coaching staff, but in terms of familiarity with the national team, he may be the highest. After all, he has been the coach of Tübingen for two years.
, I am more familiar with Tubingen’s style of play.
Lao Gao's reminder seems to indicate that he has discovered something. This man who has been watching with a cold eye may really have a different perspective.
