Chapter 360 South Stand of Westphalia

Chapter 359 Westfalen's South Stand
On April 4th, Manchester United was very friendly at the press conference. Ferguson highly praised the work achievements of the Dortmund club in recent years.At the same time, Ferguson praised Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp's ability to discern people.

Scholes and De Gea brought by Ferguson also expressed enough respect for Dortmund!

The home team Borussia Dortmund also expressed enough respect to Manchester United at the press conference, especially for Ferguson, who is about to retire. Marshal Klopp described him as "legendary".

Dortmund's captain Kyle said that Manchester United's ability to eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona has fully demonstrated their strength, but Dortmund will not admit defeat easily. They are pursuing victory at any time, and they will go all out in this game.

The rhythm was a bit wrong. I originally thought that the historical relationship between Britain and Germany, and this is an important Champions League semi-final, the two sides would be tit-for-tat. Who would have thought that it would turn into a mutual bragging conference, which made the media confused for a while.

The private meeting between Ferguson and Klopp was unknown except for his assistant, even the assistant coach and his most trusted Ryan Giggs and Scholes, so it seemed to outsiders that this was just an ordinary Champions League semi-final, nothing more!

The Westfalenstadion, which is rated as the No. [-] home stadium of the world's top ten devils (it is also said that the No. [-] is Turkey's Turk Telecom Arena, home of Galatasaray in Turkey), began to enter the stadium an hour before the game kicked off.

Not all fans will enter the stadium long in advance, but the vast majority of those who enter the stadium so long in advance are South Stand fans.

The Westfalenstadion can accommodate more than 83000 spectators at the same time, of which the south stand can accommodate more than 25000 fans, which is also the largest single-side stand in European stadiums.

In addition to the large number of people and the fact that most of the fans are standing, Dortmund's traditional jersey color is yellow and black. These two colors have more visual impact, and there are often yellow and black seas in the stands.

Dortmund is located in the Ruhr industrial area in Germany, where the traditional mining area is located. Most of the people living here are working class.

Just imagine a stadium full of 83000 people. Fans uniformly wear yellow and black attire, singing, dancing and cheering. Will such a stadium atmosphere scare away players and referees?

And it is such a terrifying stadium, the most desirable thing is the South Stand where you can stand and watch the game.How hard is it to get tickets for the South Stand?Let's put it this way, a season ticket for the South Stand of Dortmund's home court is more difficult than BJ's lottery for buying a car-the average queuing period is 4 to 5 years.There were even Dortmund fans who went to court over the ownership of a season ticket.

In the general environment of the European economic downturn, the stadium attendance in Italy, France and Spain has not been very good, and the attendance in Germany and England has been very good.But if you want to talk about consistent hotness, then Dortmund is definitely one of the best, and the South Stand has contributed a lot.

Why are the tickets for the South Stand so popular?Is it because the viewing position here is the best?On the contrary, the south stand is located right behind the goal, with the worst view and all standing seats.There are 17 home games in a season, and the average season ticket is 190.5 Euros, which is only 11.2 Euros per game.

What is unscientific is that every home game day, there are often people who are willing to exchange a seat ticket bought at a high price for a standing ticket here.

Dortmund's season ticket holders can automatically renew their season ticket qualifications for the next season as long as they pay in advance.

There are too many monks and too few. The league has a season ticket system. 80% of the tickets in the South Stand belong to the season ticket quota, so the remaining tickets in the South Stand are very difficult to buy.However, there are no season tickets for the German Cup and the Champions League, which means that all fans have the opportunity to compete.

Although there are no comfortable seats or advanced ceilings, you can find the purest football charm here.Whether you are an ordinary worker, a retiree, a doctor, an engineer or a university professor, the South Stand will make you forget everything except football.

Standing here, you have only one identity, and that is the most loyal, passionate and craziest Dortmund fan.When Dortmund scored a goal, there were only overwhelming shouts and golden ribbons flying all over the South Stand, "Even if the person next to you stinks to death, you will hold him tightly in your arms without hesitation, maybe you don't know each other at all."

Dortmund fans usually enter the stadium 45 minutes early to watch the team warm up, plus 90 minutes of game time, and a 15-minute intermission. A game takes at least two and a half hours.

Why do you have to stand all the time instead of sitting?

When the BBC was filming a documentary, the reporter asked Dortmund fans this way. A fan waved a ticket to the South Stand and said, "Yes, that's it. Everyone wants to go to the South Stand!"

The crazy South Stand is the spiritual symbol of Dortmund football, and it is the soul of Dortmund Football Club.Everyone who yearns for the south stand has yellow blood flowing in their bodies.

The Westfalenstadion is not only Dortmund's devil's home stadium, but at the national team level, it is also the German football's super devil's home stadium.

Since 1935, for 70 years, German football has never lost a game on this field. This great record was not broken by the final champion Italy until the 2006 World Cup semi-finals.

In Ji Dong's short career, among the top ten internationally recognized devils' home courts, this is the third one that Ji Dong has come to.He has already felt the warm atmosphere in the warm-up just now, but he believes that it will be completely different when he plays next time. What awaits him must be the most special atmosphere.

Ji Dong was the last one in the lineup. When Giggs and Dortmund captain Kyle appeared in the channel camera, Lin Yi heard the cheers and singing of mountains and tsunami.

Unlike other Devil's Stadiums, Ji Dong felt that the cheers and singing here were completely different.After Ji Dong also appeared on the stage, this feeling became more clear.

For other so-called devil stadiums, including Anfield and Camp Nou, which are not on the list, what Lin Yi felt was a kind of malice with hatred and threats, a kind of confrontational emotion of life and death.

The Westfalenstadion is different. Ji Dong feels pure passion and loyalty to the home team here.

Because German law and the Football Association have very heavy penalties for football hooligans, and German law does not allow dangerous objects such as fireworks to enter the stadium, it is a heavy blow to stadium violence.

Therefore, among the top ten devils' home games, the Westfalenstadion is definitely a clean stream.They have no death threats, no horrible fireworks, no crazy seat burning and other abhorrent behaviors.

However, Dortmund fans used their singing and cheers, their non-stop beating, and their endless creativity to send Dortmund to the top of the top ten home games of the Devils.

After both sides played, Lin Yi found that there was finally a big movement in the world-famous South Stand.

In a sea of ​​yellow, fans in the South Stand began to create with cardboard and scarves.

The entire stand was turned into a huge drawing board by the yellow and black face, and then a huge Champions League trophy slowly took shape, surrounded by a yellow Dortmund main color background.

When the trophy was formed, the head of a Dortmund fan holding a telescope slowly rose, implying that Dortmund is on the road to find the lost Champions League trophy.

Even though he was used to seeing big scenes, he had to say that Ji Dong was really shocked. He didn't expect that more than 25000 people could use simple cardboard and scarves to create such an effect.Although the Chinese can do better in Olympic Games and other events, but this has not been rehearsed, which is even more remarkable.

The powerful visual impact instantly pushed the atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion to the climax (it's really spectacular, if you haven't seen it, you can go to Baidu to check it out, it's super shocking!), Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly praise it even if he was an away player.As for the 20000 or so Manchester United fans, their singing and cheering were completely covered at this time.

"The momentum of the Devils at home is indeed extraordinary. The game has not yet started, and the momentum of Dortmund has already defeated Manchester United."

"Yes, every away player who comes here to play has a feeling of being overwhelmed by them, it's not a good feeling to be honest, but you just can't help being convinced, that's the magic of Westphalia.

When I was a member of the England national team, I played a game with the German team here.To be honest, I know that I can still clearly remember the feeling at that time. The feeling was completely shock and fear. Although I knew that they would not do anything good, but that feeling would make you perform abnormally, because your mind is completely affected by their emotions, and you will not be able to exert your strength at all! "

"That's right, Dortmund's performance in the Champions League this season is directly related to their Devil's home game. The five Champions League home games that have ended this season have been unbeaten. Dortmund scored 5 goals and only conceded 10 goals.

Facing such a home game, Manchester United must be very careful today. "

"Yes, Manchester United must play with the spirit of 12 points. Of course, we must also see clearly that Manchester United has played tough away games many times this season, such as Stamford Bridge, such as Anfield, and such as the Nou Camp and the Bernabeu. They have even been to the Turk Telekom Arena, which is as famous as Westfalen.

It is unbelievable that Manchester United has achieved a record of complete victories in these stadiums. Today, I hope Manchester United can continue this magic. "

"The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting XIs of the two sides, first look at Manchester United away.

Ferguson is still the same 442 for thousands of years today. Thanks to Ferguson's rotation this season, the players are in good health, so he can always form the strongest lineup he can think of before key games.

Goalkeeper De Gea; Evra, Lucio, Ferdinand and Valencia on the back line, Lucio is the first Champions League start this season; the veteran Ryan Giggs returned to the starting lineup in the midfield, Lin and Carrick control the midfield one after another, and the Portuguese fast Manani is on the right; there is no suspense on the front line.

Let's take a look at Dortmund at home. Klopp's formation today is 4231. This formation is not the most commonly used by Klopp, but facing Manchester United's extremely powerful attacking power, Klopp had to make double midfielder adjustments.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller; left back Pisczek, Subotic and Hummels partnered at center back, Smelzer started right back; the two defensive midfielders were captain Kyle and the new German international Gundogan; the left midfielder was Blaszczykowski, the right midfielder was Gros Kreutz, and the front midfielder had super rookie Royce; the starting single forward was Polish striker Lewandowski. "

"We saw that the head coach of the German national team Loew also appeared in the box, it seems that he also came to observe the status of several Dortmund international players.

The game is about to start, what kind of classics will the two sides present to us? "

　Depressed, this chapter almost didn't come out.But I also blame myself, Westphalia wrote Westfa (lun) is the wheel of the wheel.This is my fault!

　　Tonight's game, I bought Uruguay 200 yuan, I hope not upset!Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
