Chapter 1007 Revisiting West Stadium
On the morning of February 2th, the whole Juventus team came to the West Stadium to adapt to the field training.
Standing on the sidelines and stepping on the turf vigorously, Yun Sheng suddenly felt a little emotional.
The last time I came to this stadium by myself was in 2008.
It was in the second half of the 2007-2008 season. Yunsheng led Cottbus to the West Arena and faced Dortmund in the 21st round of the league. In that game, Cottbus defeated the Hornets 2-1. The Turkish teenager Shahin who was loaned to Cottbus from Dortmund scored twice.Now Shaheen has also left Dortmund and put on the Galacticos jersey.
In the German Cup semi-final a few days later, Cottbus once again played against Dortmund at the Westerstadion. The match ended 3-2 and Cottbus won tenaciously.
In the following four years, Yun Sheng never set foot on this stadium again.
Appearing here again at this time, Yun Sheng felt as if he had returned to the familiar spring of 2008, the place where the dream began.
Speed was instructing the players to train. Cannavaro saw that Yun Sheng was silent, and patted him on the shoulder: "Sir, do you miss returning to the Bundesliga team?"
Yun Sheng nodded: "Yes, four years ago, I beat Dortmund twice in this stadium within a week. This stadium has left me with many good memories."
Cannavaro was delighted: "That's good, you are lucky to have this devil's home court, and we will definitely win this game. Moreover, Juventus is much stronger than Cottbus back then, and our victory is already set."
Yun Sheng shook his head: "Although the current Juventus is far superior to Cottbus, Dortmund's progress is far better than the dilapidated Hornets four years ago. It is very difficult for us to win this game, and we must be fully prepared."
At this time, Speed, who was sorting out the information later, heard this and agreed: "This Dortmund offensive is extremely fierce. The players are young, the attack speed is fast, and the coach is passionate. They have entered the top ten in the winning odds this time, which should not be underestimated."
Hearing this, Yun Sheng asked curiously: "I have never cared about the odds list, which teams are the top few?"
Speed said: "Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United...these teams are all at the top."
"Then where are we in?"
"No. 11."
"Not even in the top ten?" Yun Sheng laughed, "They don't think so highly of us."
Cannavaro shrugged: "A lot of outside media commented that we can only play civil wars, not foreign wars. They said that our lineup is seriously aging and is not suitable for the fierce competition in the Champions League. It is only suitable for playing health in the slow pace of Serie A."
Yun Sheng was puzzled: "Last season, Inter Milan just won the Champions League. How could they have the nerve to despise Serie A?"
Cannavaro shrugged: "People say that Inter Milan's championship mainly depends on the coach. Now that Mourinho has gone to Real Madrid, the Serie A team is no longer competitive. It has lived up to the name of the Little World Cup."
Yun Sheng thought about it for a while: "The media that said this is probably mostly from the Premier League and La Liga."
Speed and Cannavaro looked at each other, and they nodded: "Yes."
Yun Sheng looked at the two with a smile on his face: "One of you has played in the Premier League and the other in La Liga. You should know these two leagues very well. The Premier League is the league with the most money in the world. The competition is fierce and there are many stars. It is understandable for them to look down on our Serie A."
"La Liga has super teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as giants like Atletico Madrid, Valencia, and Sevilla. It's normal for them to be a little arrogant. But this season's Champions League journey, I want the media and fans of these two leagues to see that our Serie A teams also have the qualifications and possibility to win the championship!"
Seeing Yunsheng's swearing look, Cannavaro smiled: "A coach who led Ligue [-] to win the Champions League is currently coaching a giant in Serie A. He is about to play against a strong Bundesliga team, but he complains about the media in the Premier League and La Liga."
"Hahahaha!"
The three coaches on the sidelines laughed, causing the Juventus players on the field to look sideways.
"Sir, what happened to them?"
"I guess it's a joke."
"The game is coming soon, they are not nervous at all."
"It is estimated that he has confidence in us and feels that he can win."
"That's right, it must be like this! Let's step up our training and return to Turin with a victory!"
There was a burst of cheering applause from the players on the court, which complemented the laughter of the three of Yunsheng just now.
As time goes on, this heavyweight match is getting closer and closer.
With more than an hour before the game, the Westfield Stadium was already full.
This stadium, which can accommodate 83000 million fans, is the largest stadium in Germany and also a five-star stadium of UEFA.
This stadium is one of the most popular stadiums in Europe, and the atmosphere in the stadium is already very lively.
The south stand of the stadium can accommodate a total of 25000 million fans. It is the largest single-sided stand in European stadiums. This is the base of diehard fans. The famous "yellow wave" is one of the most exciting scenes in West Stadium.
It's a great stadium and the fans are one of the best in Europe.The attendance rate here has remained above [-] all year round, which is a good tradition of the Dortmund club.What makes Hornets fans extremely proud is that it still holds the world record for season-tied attendance.
Entering the stadium early, listening to the noise of the audience, many young players who have never been to this stadium feel a strong sense of oppression.
Ballack, Diego, Vidal and other players who once played in the Bundesliga stand in the middle of the court, as if they have returned to the days when they played in the Bundesliga.Metzelder, who once played for Dortmund, was even more impressed.
It may be difficult for the Bundesliga to become the most powerful and richest league in the five major leagues, but it has an excellent football atmosphere and fan environment, which is also enviable.
Piero and Raul, who were warming up in the center of the court, were also chatting.
The two have led Juventus and Real Madrid to play against Dortmund many times before, and they are more familiar with this stadium.
Piero looked around: "I haven't played against each other for several years, and the players here are still so hot."
Raul pointed to the stands: "I heard a huge boo just now. When I was still in Real Madrid, I didn't have this kind of treatment."
Piero shrugged: "They still have the nerve to boo us? You wait to see how our fans will boo them when we return to our home court! In the 1997 Champions League final, Dortmund stepped on our shoulders to win the Champions League. We and the fans are still worried about this."
Raul said with emotion: "Winning Juventus, the boos are still so loud. If Schalke 04 came to the game, it would be a disaster."
"Yeah, every derby in the Ruhr area is full of red and yellow cards, and it's not perfect if you don't hurt a few people." Piero suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Gonzalez, I remember you almost joined Schalke 04, right?"
Raul nodded: "Yeah, I changed my mind at the last moment and put on a Juventus jersey. It's hard for me to imagine what it would be like if I played against Dortmund wearing a Schalke 04 jersey..."
