Chapter 123 German Derby(1/2)
In the Bundesliga, if you want to ask which team's fans are the most loyal, almost everyone will tell you: it is Dortmund. There is no doubt that they use German rigorous attitude to make people think this way. When the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich had a poor record, the huge stands of the Munich Olympic Stadium were so empty that it was heartbreaking. However, when Dortmund's record was also poor last season, the Westfallon Stadium, which could accommodate 83,000 people, was still full. Although because it could not tolerate the team's poor record, fans would express their dissatisfaction through sit-ins and demonstrations and sending representatives to the team bus negotiations, when Dortmund played at home, the Westfallon Stadium would be full. This is how they used their actual actions to explain to everyone what it means to "win and love you when defeat."
Such fans are worthy of respect, and teams with such fans are happy.
This season, after transferring multiple main players, Dortmund's performance was not ideal, but the fans still supported their team and gave the team an understanding. This home game with Bayern Munich touched everyone's nerves. Westfallon Stadium was full an hour before the start of the game. Because Bayern's performance was also bad, there were not many fans coming with the team. It is estimated that when Magath saw Dortmund fans, he would sigh again. It would be great if the Munich Olympic Stadium was replaced with Westfallon Stadium. Oh no, it should be Bayern fans and Dortmund fans to change!
"This will be a tough game!" He said to Bayern sports manager Hones, who was watching the blew the yellow flag of the "BVB".
"Fans are, but the team will not cause us much trouble. I heard that their goalkeepers were transferred directly from the second team and had no experience in the previous Bundesliga game."
When Magath remembered his assistant to report the situation of the game to him, he completely forgot Guerrero, constantly reminding Magath to pay attention to the Chinese goalkeeper in the shot, and strongly recommended buying him as Kahn's successor when appropriate. "They were almost completely carved from the same mold!" The assistant said excitedly.
Unfortunately, the video about the goalkeeper is too short, so I just used this game to observe it carefully.
"Uli (Heres), after the game starts later, you can observe the opponent's goalkeeper more. My assistant told me that he was a very promising young man." Magath reminded.
"That second team came up? OK, I will focus on it." Hones nodded.

"Hey, An, are you okay without rest? Why do you feel bad?" Vaughans asked the little brother with concern. As the acting captain of Dortmund, it was his responsibility to care for and support the newcomer when the captain Metzeld and vice captain Rose were absent from genetic injuries.
"Haha! An must be nervous, nervous!" Olishe was joking with Anke. In just three days, Anke had made several good friends, and Olishe, a Nigerian, was one of them.
An Ke wasn't nervous. He was just thinking about what happened yesterday afternoon. The game was going to be broadcast live. Will his parents watch it?
Van Mawek walked in. He had just greeted Ajax's head coach Ronald Koeman. The Dutch coach also came to see the game. Ajax will play Bayern in the Champions League next Wednesday.
"Okay, guys. Everyone knows their location and mission, right?"
"Yes!" everyone replied.
"Well, there are a few main players in Bayern that didn't play today, and this is a good opportunity. Let's go now and tell them with practical actions whose home court is Westphalia!"
Vaughans is still teaching An Ke experience in the team channel. Today he is the captain and is in front of An Ke when he appears. "Don't be nervous, it's no big deal. Besides, this is our home court, and the pressure should be the opponent. As long as you perform normally, there is no problem!"
Anko nodded, then glanced at a strong man beside him - Oliver Kahn, the main goalkeeper of Bayern Munich and the German national team, the double captain. He was also his idol. He actually didn't hear much Vaughan's words, and he devoted all his thoughts to consider how to exchange jerseys with Kahn at the end of the game.
On the other hand, many Dortmund players are greeting Flins in Bayern. Flins was the main player of Dortmund last season and transferred to Bayern Munich this summer, so there are some friends in Dortmund.
Flins obviously noticed the tall back in front of the team, No. 31 "AN". "He is the goalkeeper promoted by your head coach from the second team?" He asked the Brazilian defender Evanielsen opposite.
"Yes, a firefighter, but he's good at it."
"Japanese?"
"No, Chinese. Have you ever seen Japanese people as tall as that?" Evanelson rolled his eyes to Flins.
"A newbie? It seems that you can take advantage of this." Flins thought in his mind that Barack failed to get a cold in this game, and he happened to get the position of the front midfielder he had always dreamed of, and Magath let him serve as the offensive core of the team.

"CCTV5, dear viewers, what I am broadcasting for you is the fifth round of the German Football League in 2004 to 2005. Dortmund's home match against Bayern Munich is about to begin. Everyone must have learned from media reports in the past two days that in this 'German derby', a young Chinese player, No. 31 Anke. It is said that he was originally an international student and was found in a friendly match against Dortmund youth team.
, and then joined the Dortmund youth team as an apprentice. Now both Dortmund goalkeepers are injured and rested, and An Ke, who has firmly taken the position of the main goalkeeper in the youth team, was naturally transferred to the rescue by Van Marwek. This game is also his first Bundesliga game." Wang Jianxiang introduced An Ke to the audience. In fact, fans who are paying attention to sports reports these days should know that a Chinese player suddenly appeared in the German giant Dortmund, who is An Ke.
"It's like this. The first time I participated in the Bundesliga game is this kind of focus battle that is highly anticipated. It can be regarded as a severe test for Anke. Bayern Munich and Dortmund are both giant teams in German football. The collision between the two teams has always been very hot, and it is called the 'German derby'. What kind of performance Anke can perform in this kind of game will directly determine his position in Dortmund's first team in the future." Li Lianwei, who is specialized in Bundesliga broadcasting, is also Wang Jianxiang's partner in the Bundesliga commentary. The two sang and analyzed Anke's current situation.
In front of the TV, Anke's father was sitting on the sofa with a blue face, watching the German live footage given on the TV. The Westphalia Stadium was packed, and yellow became almost the only color. Although the majestic singing was transmitted over a long distance from satellite signals, it was still clearly audible.
An Ke's mother sat on the other side, looking at her husband carefully, wanting to see his inner thoughts from the changes in his expression, but unfortunately her husband always had a stern face and had no expression.

"Okay, let's go on the court!" Vaughans turned around and shouted at the front, and the team moved. The two teams entered the court led by the referee Merck on duty and two assistant referees.
At that moment, the decibels at Westphalon Stadium suddenly increased several times.
Just as An Ke stepped onto the turf of the stadium, he heard the loud call of the fans, and his blood boiled in his heart!
This is professional football! This is Bundesliga! I'm here, I stand here! I want to prove myself!

"The one who appears in the camera now is An Ke, who is 1.9 meters tall, weighs 87 kilograms, number 31, and the goalkeeper on the field! His performance will be the most concerned thing for us Chinese fans. Dortmund's lineup: goalkeeper No. 31 An Ke; the defenders are No. 4 captain Christian Worns, No. 2 Evanilson, No. 2 Sascha Rammel, No. 15 Niclas Jensen; the midfielder is No. 16 Olishe, No. 16 Olishe.
(Sunday Oliseh), No. 6 young player Florian Kringe, who replaced Tomas Rosicky in the last game, will serve as the core of Dortmund's offensive organization, No. 5 Sebastian Kehl; forward David Odonkor, No. 12 Henriquede Souza Ewerthon, and high center forward Jan Koller."
"For Bayern, Michael Ballack was placed on the bench because of a cold, which is his first time playing as a substitute since November 20, 1999. In addition to Barack, Sebastian Deisler also made a quit due to a heel injury. Felix Magath made a major adjustment to the midfield, Torsten Frings replaced Barack as an offensive organization, while Jens Jeremies was more concerned about defense. Young player Schweinsteiger appeared in the original Deisler
The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Kahn. The defender No. 20 Salihamidzic, No. 3 Lucio, No. 25 Thomas Link, No. 15 Tobias Rau. No. 31 Schweinsteiger, No. 16 Yeremes, No. 8 Flins, No. 11 Ze Roberto, and the forward is paired by No. 9 Hashimian and No. 10 Roy Makaay."
"The main players of both sides are absent in this game, and the two teams are not in good shape at the moment, so it is difficult to predict the final result. Ah, the referee whistle sounded. The game officially began!"
The game just started. Although it was at Dortmund's home court, Bayern Munich had the advantage in the field. Flins, especially, seemed very active. His long shot was slightly off at the beginning, which shocked Anko a cold sweat. However, Dortmund fans responded to the former Dortmund player with a huge boo. The fans were so dissatisfied with him because he pulled away at Dortmund's most difficult moment and went to Bayern to pursue his dream of winning.
"It seems Flins is in great shape!"
"This is always the case with him. He always performs well whenever he faces his old club. Two years ago, he returned to Bremen's first game, and he scored first to help the team defeat his former club 4-1. I wonder if he will score the first goal against Dortmund this time?"
"If he wants to score, it doesn't mean An Ke..." Wang Jianxiang reminded.
"Oh, then we still hope he doesn't score, haha!"
※※※
Flins took the ball again, replaced Barack as the core and he will control Bayern's offensive and defensive rhythm.
After seeing Flins get the ball, Makai and Hashmian began to run diagonally, running to the sides, one left and one right, and pulled two central defenders, Vaughans and Lamel. Dortmund's young midfielder Klinger was quickly chasing Flins. But no one in front of Flins stopped him!
An Ke had a premonition that Flins would shoot this ball, but he didn't know how to shoot, when to shoot, and where to shoot, and then he could only rely on his feelings.
When Flins saw that his former teammates were so generous to him, he was not polite and swung his feet and shot at the top of the arc!
Here comes!
An Ke flew out in the right direction! The direction was correct, and he felt good...
“GOOOOOAL!!”
Flins yelled and rushed to the corner flag, waved his arms to the Bayern fans in the stands, asking them to yell with him, and suppress the voices of Dortmund fans. For a while, the voices of Bayern Munich fans did cover the home team fans because all of the Dortmund fans were silent.
An Ke jumped up from the ground, then picked up the football from the door, and kicked it back into the middle circle.
Vaughans came up to comfort him and turned around and ran away. It was obvious that he was not prepared for conceding the goal so early.
Later, Dortmund fans burst into huge booings. This made Wang Jianxiang frown: "It was a very unfavorable start for Dortmund and Anke, and the booings of those fans..."
In fact, the fans were not booing Anko, but Flins. They thought it would be fine if Flins scored a goal, which was normal. But the excitement of scoring the goal made the fans feel that he was a little ungrateful.
And this goal was not all Anko's fault. Dortmund's midfield defense was equal to zero, allowing Flins to calmly get the ball to the front of the penalty area, and the defenders did not dare to act rashly because of the threats of Makai and Hashmian. This situation made Flins kick like usual training, and it was normal for him to score.
But Anke took all the blame. He took action when he saw Flins kicking. There was no problem with the youth team doing this with his reaction speed. But now it is the Bundesliga, and he is facing the German national team. When he sees the opponent's shooting and then makes action, the football has already flew into the goal one step ahead of him.
This is experience. An Ke is still much worse in experience!
Rhineberg also came to the scene to watch this game, and Oliver was also with him. He was forced out of the tavern by Rhineberg. The old drunkard shouted that there was an atmosphere in the tavern, but Rhineberg knew that he was just trying to find an excuse to drink, so he could see Anke's performance carefully when he came to the scene. Oliver came obediently. It seemed that Anke was a little more important than alcohol in his heart.
"That stupid!" Oliver cursed, "When he looks at the shots of the Bundesliga players, he will watch them first and then save them. It will be a big deal if he doesn't lose the ball! Really, how much did he remember what I taught him?"
Rhineberg also frowned and looked at An Ke who was standing in front of the door with his hands on his hips. He was facing such a situation when he first appeared. I wonder if he could bear it.
At this moment, many Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast were also worried about An Ke. Although this was the first time they saw An Ke’s game, they didn’t know much about him before. However, as Chinese, no one would want his performance to end in failure.
An Ke's mother was even more worried about death in front of the TV, but her husband, An Ke's father, still stared at the TV with expressionless face, without sighing or being depressed.
※※※
An Ke stood in front of the door with his hands on his hips, watching his forward teammates prepare to kick off. Unlike others who were worried about him, An Ke did not feel very frustrated or scared at this time. Since he had already lost the ball, it was useless to be frustrated. Instead, he could only make his performance worse in the future. It would be better to calm down and devote himself to the game and play the next 86 minutes.
This is what An Ke really thinks now.
Flins, who scored the goal on the other side, was secretly proud of him. It was so lucky to meet a novice. To be honest, if his shot was replaced by Kahn, he would definitely not be able to enter, and even Weidenfeller would not enter. The goalkeeper must have suffered a lot of blows, and it would be much easier to do next. Although it is a bit cruel for a novice, it is better to throw the boring sympathy aside for himself and for Bayern.
"Dortmond kicked off and the game started again. After conceding a goal, what kind of performance will Anke be? This is probably everyone's concern. The game is still 86 minutes, I hope Anke will not be anxious. The most important thing for the goalkeeper is to be calm. In addition, we should not force too much when we meet a strong opponent Bayern in the first game..." Wang Jianxiang has already begun to pour some cold water on the Chinese audience with high expectations.
Just as he spoke, Bayern attacked again with the power of the first goal. Flins dribbled the ball again, Makai and Hashmian were running to cover, Schweinsteiger and Ze Roberto responded. In contrast, Dortmund had only three people in the midfield, which made the team struggle in defense and offense, and once again let the opponent face the defender directly.
This situation made Rhineberg shake his head. It was only a matter of time before he could concede the ball for a long time. In addition to An Ke's current mood...
"Good! This just gives Anke a chance to play!" Oliver held a completely opposite view of Rhineberg, and he shouted, "An! Stop and let them see!"
An Ke is on high alert this time. In his opinion, Flins can choose to shoot by himself, or pass two forwards directly, or be divided into the wing... Kyle stepped forward to block, but Flins took the lead and shot with a powerful long shot!
The football came from Kyle's gear at a distance of 25 meters and flew towards the goal!
The football is a little floating and is still rushing upward during the flight. What will An Ke react this time? Will he directly lift the beam?
Anke did not wait for Flins to shoot before he rushed out this time. He moved almost at the same time as Flins, jumped to his left, jumped into the air, locked his eyes tightly in the football, and then stretched out his body. His 1.9-meter-long length made him look like a moving barrier!
Feel good!
An Ke stretched out his hands and grabbed the incoming ball tightly in the air. At the same time, his hands pressed down and his body fell down. When he landed, he pressed the football to the ground first, and then once in the shoulders, hips, and legs. After landing, he immediately retracted his hand back to his arms to protect the football.
"Beautiful! A standard save!" Wang Jianxiang couldn't help but praise.
An Ke got up from the ground and the football in his arms was so great! What he wanted was this kind of down-to-earth feeling of holding football! I really wanted to hug more, it was like hugging a naked woman, oh yeah...
"Big feet, counterattack!" Vaughans roared awakened An Ke who was intoxicated. Only then did he realize that Dortmund was still behind and any attack opportunity was precious, let alone such a counterattack opportunity! So without saying a word, he swung his right leg and kicked off with a big foot, sending the ball to the forward.
Since Dortmund had a high point on the court, Jan Kohler, two meters and two meters, Anko's kick-off was like seeing the Laden plane of the World Trade Center, and it hit him accurately. With his height and body, Kohler squeezed Thomas Link behind him, and then headed the ball to the young player Klinger, who rushed up, and organized the attack.
Although Klinger is a young player, he has outstanding abilities. After the game started, he showed a high offensive talent in Dortmund's limited attacks.
Dortmund had a sharp counterattack, but unfortunately Eveton did not stop Clinger's straight pass, allowing the back-chasing defender Lao to drive the ball out of the sideline.
To be continued...
