When Mark and Zhou Yi finished a day's training and took their father's car back home.

Mark found an envelope in the co-pilot position.

In the past, there was nothing clean here, and their training backpacks were placed in the trunk of the car.

"What is this, Dad?" Mark asked strangely.

"Look at it." Old Wagner said without explanation.

Mark opened the envelope, and four sets of tickets appeared in front of him.

"This..." Mark didn't understand.

"Tomorrow evening, we will go to Dortmund's home game against Werder Bremen." Old Wagner simply answered his son while driving.

Mark froze for a moment, then suddenly screamed, startling Zhou Yi next to him.

Just when Zhou Yi looked at Mark strangely, Mark's eyes were overflowing with tears. He said excitedly to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, I'm going to the South Stand to watch the ball!"

Zhou Yi realized this: "Westfalen's...South Grandstand?"

Mark nodded vigorously, but he was already speechless with excitement, and then his tears came out of his eyes and ran down his cheeks.

Zhou Yi was still scared by Mark, just went to the scene to watch a ball... As for?

Back home, Mrs. Wagner confirmed the news to Mark and Zhou Yi, and told Zhou Yi that he was going too.

"Have my ticket?"

Mrs. Wagner raised four tickets in the middle of the week: "It was originally a family of four, and just after Cortana was born, we registered her as a member of the Dortmund Club and gave her every year. Buy a package in the name of. But unfortunately, Cortana doesn’t seem to like football. She was only taken to the South Stand to watch the ball at a very young age. Later, when she grew up and was sensible, she never did. Been there."

Zhou Yi thought of Cortana, and thought she was indeed the one who did this kind of thing.

"So you used Cortana's package."

"But... this is her name, can I also use it?" Zhou Yi pointed to the package and asked.

"Of course, the tickets purchased from the package can be transferred." Mrs. Wagner explained. "But in fact, very few people will transfer tickets. Even if you can't go there, you won't easily transfer the South Watch billiards. You know, that's the South Watch bills!"

Speaking of the South Stand, Mrs. Wagner was very proud.

As a fan of the South Stand of Westphalia Stadium, Zhou Yi has also been famous for a long time. But all the time, he only knew about the stand through news reports, knowing that there was a gathering place for Dortmund's diehard fans, and the hot atmosphere there was an important factor for Westphalia to become the devil's home.

Zhou Yi did not expect that he would have the opportunity to go to the South Stand to watch the ball. This should be the highest courtesy a Dortmund fan can give himself?

The South Stand of Westphalia Stadium is not the place to go if you want to.

※※※

The second day of Dortmund's youth training was only half a day, which is also normal. It is not practiced twice a day every day.

Today's training is scheduled in the morning.

After the morning training, Zhou Yi did not practice for half an hour for the first time, but went home with Mark.

They must quickly finish lunch and then go to the court to watch the ball together.

This game is a Bundesliga, Dortmund against Werder Bremen at home.

If they were put back six or seven years ago, the encounter between the two teams could still be considered a strong dialogue. Dortmund had just won the league title every two years, and Werder Bremen was competing for the league title.

Now, Werder Bremen has fallen a bit miserably, ranking 11th so far this season.

Dortmund's ranking is not high, ranking ninth.

But this game is a contest between direct competitors. Because the two teams are only four points apart, if Werder Bremen can beat Dortmund away, they will be close to their opponents in the standings, and if Dortmund can beat Werder Bremen, the league ranking is expected to go further Go.

So this game can be regarded as a high-profile game.

Especially in the eyes of Dortmund fans.

The Mark family and Zhou Yi who went to watch the game did not choose to drive, because Mrs. Wagner said that on the game day, the road around the stadium was very blocked. If you drive, you can’t go back home for a long time. The best way is to choose public transportation. The train goes.

Zhou Yi does not matter, he also wants to experience how ordinary Dortmund fans go to watch the ball. He has been to Dortmund for such a long time, and this is the first time he has gone to see the game at home in Dortmund.

Regarding this point, Mrs. Wagner also explained to Zhou Yi. In fact, when Zhou Yi had just arrived at their home, they should bring Zhou Yi to the game. However, at that time, because Mrs. Wagner had just recovered from a serious illness, her health was not particularly good. The doctor did not recommend her to go to the scene, especially the South Stand to watch the ball.

"...The doctor said that if I had to go to the ball, I would buy a seat ticket and stay away from the South Stand..." Mrs. Wagner said to Zhou Yi while walking. "It's a hell! I went to watch the ball on the spot. Standing in the South Stand, if I can’t go to the South Stand, why should I go? So I didn’t go to watch the ball during that time. Later, Mark played the game and there were some conflicts in time. It has been delayed..."

"It's okay, Mrs. Wagner." Zhou Yi wasn't embarrassed to say that he didn't even want to go to Dortmund before. He was afraid that Mrs. Wagner would be angry...

He raised the cap of the peaked cap and looked around, and now they had come out of the train station and followed the large troops to the Westphalia stadium. He was surrounded by Dortmund fans in yellow or black. He tipped his toes and tried to look up backwards. He could not see his head at a glance. It is estimated that the team had extended to the train station. Jumping up to look ahead again, outside the Westfalen Stadium is a yellow-black ocean, countless yellow-black rivers converge on each other, and Zhou Yi is only one of them.

This scene is really spectacular.

※※※

Outside of Westphalia Stadium, Zhou Yi already felt that the scene he saw was spectacular.

But when he entered the stadium, he realized that he still had too little knowledge...

When the Wagners went to the ticket window to collect their tickets, four people came to the security checkpoint.

The buttons at Westphalia Stadium are not strict. Mobile phones, cameras, wallets, coins, and flagpoles can be brought in, but food and beverages are not. This is to ensure the sales of food stores on the stadium.

Zhou Yi They passed the security check and stepped up. They first passed the store area, where there are shops selling hot dogs and various drinks. Many fans are queuing here to buy meat dogs or burgers, these people come directly without lunch.

Zhou Yi, they have lunch, they naturally do not need to buy food, but drinks are always required.

The Wagners bought a liter of beer for themselves, a glass of juice for their son Mark, who was under 18, and Zhou Yi...and a glass of beer.

"Football and beer are indispensable." Mrs. Wagner smiled when he saw Zhou Yi hesitating. "It's okay, occasionally drinking it doesn't matter."

Zhou Yi took over the beer mug with the picture of Captain Kyle of Dortmund.

"Right, Zhou Yi. Are you going to the toilet?" Mark asked beside.

"I'm...okay now." Zhou Yi's urination is not very strong.

Mark shook his head: "I suggest you go with me for the last time, otherwise you won't be good after the game starts."

This Zhou Yi understands, just like watching a movie, who wants to go to the toilet in a tense movie? What if the hero and heroine who went to the toilet rolled the sheets? What a pity.

Watching the ball too, it was a pity that I missed the goal in the last toilet...

So Zhou Yi gave the drink to Mrs. Wagner and went to the toilet with Mark. A lot of people really went to the toilet before the game, so several toilets lined up in front of the toilet, and after a while they were able to enter to solve the problem.

When he came out to hold a drink, the four of them walked up again. When Zhou Yi stepped up the last step, the green field and the opposite stand were the first to reflect the paint. Then he turned around and saw the steep... behind him.

There is no plastic seat, only the south stands with concrete steps and railings.

Zhou Yi's first impression of the South Grandstand was... Why is this grandstand so steep!

From the bottom, the top-level audience seems to be planted from above if they accidentally. And this is not Zhou Yi's illusion, because there are many railings of a few meters long and half human height on the South Stand. They are densely worn and placed on each floor of the South Stand. This is not just used to make Dortmund fans.

A lot of people have gathered on the South Stand. Most of them are dressed like the Marks. They wear scarves around their necks and scarves around their wrists. They wear Dortmund jerseys or yellow and black coats. Many are of a uniform style, that should be uniforms organized by various fans. Zhou Yi and Mark's family also wear uniforms of the same style. Zhou Yi guesses that Mark's family should also belong to a certain fan organization.

Those railings were covered with scarves and flags, slogans, banners. People stand chatting in their respective places, or greet people they know in a hurry.

The Mark family also greeted them. When they came to their place, the people around were surprised.

"Old Wagner!?" A head was bald, but there was a thick circle of hair around it, like a big fat man wearing a brown straw hat shouted after seeing them. "Aren't I hell?" He rubbed his eyes in exaggeration.

Then he laughed loudly and gave a hug to Old Wagner. "Welcome home!"

"Are you better, Amy?" Then he embraced Mrs. Wagner again.

"Thank you for your concern, Bruno'Daddy'. It's much better, otherwise how could I come to the South Stand?" Mrs. Wagner. "When I first recovered, the doctor did not allow me to come to the South Stand to watch the ball. He told me that if I had to watch the ball, I would buy a seat ticket..."

Hearing Mrs. Wagner’s words, Xie Ding fat man Bruno waved his hand: “Don’t listen to the doctor’s bullshit, they are always good at exaggerating. Sitting down and watching the ball will lose your strength!”

"Yes! We are all from the South Stand!" Mrs. Wagner agrees with this view very much. To watch the ball, you have to stand and watch it all the way.

Bruno smiled and came up to hug Mark: "Ah, Mark, when was the last time you came to the South Grandstand? Has it been a year? Are you still in U17?"

"Bruno'Daddy', I'm in U19 now." Mark said with a smile.

Zhou Yi can feel the changes in Mark, since he came to the South Grandstand, Mark has become less confident when he was peaceful, and looks different from his own. There was a confident smile on his face, and there was a feeling of "Here is his territory". He seemed to have returned to his home... No, it was easier than returning to his own home.

"U19? Oh! God! Then wouldn't I be able to see you in the South Stand soon?" Bruno's tone, expression, and movements are exaggerated.

"I just got into U19, Bruno'Daddy', didn't even play a game." Mark said.

"That's not important, Mark. As long as you rise to U19, you will have a chance to become a first team player in Dortmund. If you can play for the first team, then'Daddy' I will lead our'black gold' people here Shout your name! like this..."

Bruno said to pull off the posture, take a deep breath, then shouted his arms and shouted: "Mark. Wagner! Mark. Wagner! Mark. Wagner! He grew up watching me!!!!"

People around him wearing the same uniforms laughed, and Mark smiled, and he was a little shy. This may be the first time he heard his name screamed in the form of cheering fans...

While everyone was still laughing, Bruno had turned his attention to Zhou Yi beside Mark, and he looked at Mrs. Wagner with some doubt.

"Ah." Mrs. Wagner quickly stood next to Zhou Yi, pulling his shoulders, and said to Bruno, but also to the surrounding "black gold" fan association members. "I want to introduce this to you. He is a talented player of our U19 Dortmund, from China... Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi quickly waved to everyone: "Hi, everyone. Mark and I are teammates and...roommates."

"Yes, Zhou Yi lives in our house and is Mark's good friend."

Hearing what his mother said, Mark nodded to prove it.

Since he is a good friend of Mark and still lives in Wagner's house, other members of the Fan Association have greeted Zhou Yi.

"U19 player?" Bruno listened to Mrs. Wagner's introduction, somewhat hesitant, because looking at Zhou Yi's body, it doesn't look like someone who can play at the U19 level. However, he quickly suppressed his inner suspicion of Zhou Yi and gave Zhou Yi a hug very enthusiastically: "Welcome you, Chinese boy. Is this your first visit to the South Stand? I hope you won't scare you by then , Haha!"

"I'm responsible for maintaining the order in our area. You will listen to me later. For everyone to watch the ball better, you still have to obey some order. They all call me "Daddy" and don't mind your words. , You can call me that. Haha!"

Bruno loves to laugh, and the laughter is very loud and very hearty. Zhou Yi's first impression is very good, so Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded: "No problem, I listen to you,'Daddy'!"

Bruno saw Zhou Yi say this and happily patted his shoulder: "Get ready to enjoy football!"

※※※

The first thing Zhou Yi enjoys is not football, but the fan chorus in the South Stand.

After they were seated, the South Grandstand was quickly filled up. Soon, Zhou Yi was surrounded by people around him, so he had to stand a little sideways, otherwise he couldn't even draw his arms.

Only then did he understand why Mark wanted him to unload his inventory before the game. Take a look at the crowd below, crowded with water. It is impossible to squeeze a way out of it and go to the toilet!

After the fans were almost there, music was broadcast on the stadium's radio, the official team song of the Dortmund Club "We are firmly united".

At the beginning, not everyone will sing along. Until the end of the quarter, Dortmund fans in the South Stand and other stands will wave their arms and sing: "There is only one point, only one point-Dortmund will never die!!"

The team song is then played.

Next, a magnificent symphony melody sounded in the stadium. This is a musical excerpt from the second scene of the second act of Verdi's four-act opera "Aida", called "Triumphant March". With the magnificent music and the chorus of "Salal La La La La La La" from the fans in the stands, the players from both sides ran out to warm up.

Zhou Yi focused his attention on the first team players in Dortmund. Some of these people will be their teammates in the future...

It's a pity that the stands are too high and the people look small, and he doesn't see clearly. But when he turned his head, he saw a large screen on the side of the stands, which was the TV broadcast signal for the players to warm up. He can now recognize the stars one by one.

The goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the full-back Brazilian Dede, the central defender Subic, the South Korean full-back Li Rongpo, the captain Sebastian Kyle, the striker Valdes, and the Dortmund youth talent from Turkey are angry. Sahin, as well as the excellent defender Schmelzer trained by Dortmund's youth training...

When the players warmed up, the atmosphere on the south stands was relatively relaxed. Except that everyone was standing, Zhou Yi did not think that the legendary south stands had anything special.

But when the warm-up ended, some black and white old photos appeared on the big screen. It was a picture of a player wearing a Dortmund jersey and holding up a salad plate. The radio said: "All theories are gray, and you can decide the victory above the court. ."

A middle-aged man in a yellow suit appeared on the court with a microphone, and a camera lens followed him.

"This is the host of the stadium!" Mark explained to Zhou Yi who came to watch the ball for the first time. Because there were too many people and the sound was too noisy, he had to forcefully say it despite pressing with Zhou Yi. "Norbert Dickel! We all call him "Nobby"! He is also the name of the Dortmund club. He once scored twice in the 1989 German Cup final and helped us win 4 to 1, winning the German Cup. Champion! And our opponent at that time is today's opponent Werder Bremen! If Nobby is not troubled by injuries, I think he can definitely achieve more in Dortmund!"

Nobby walked to the center of the stadium, holding a microphone and said, "Friends, Signa Iduna Park Stadium..."

"It's Westphalia!" Zhou Yi's fans corrected loudly.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, the Dortmund Club sold the stadium's naming rights in exchange for sponsorship funds. But Dortmund fans have always used Westfalen to refer to this stadium, rather than what the Signa Iduna Park stadium...

Of course, as the official host of the club, Nobby naturally considers the interests of the sponsors. Even if he is emotionally inclined to the old name of Westphalia, he cannot be said on this occasion.

He continued: "... Watching the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, we are home to the game of Werder Bremen. First let's say hello to the fans of Werder Bremen coming from afar!"

He turned to face the visiting team's fan area and waved: "Hello, welcome to the best stadium in the world!!"

His response was the boos of unconvinced Werder Bremen fans.

Fans around Zhou Yi laughed. Obviously, they all knew that Nobby had deliberately emphasized the "best stadium in the world" for the fans of Bremen. Before the opening, the host also greeted the visiting team fans, looks very friendly? Actually not at all!

While Nobby turned a blind eye to the visiting team fans, he turned around and continued, "Of course, we also want to dedicate our applause to the yellow and black fans who come to see the ball! Our tickets are sold out again! More than 80,000 spectators at one time! Welcome the best fans in the league, welcome-Dortmund fans!!!"

Sodmund fans in the stands all raised their arms and responded loudly.

Zhou Yi followed Mark to do the same.

"Good job, Chinese boy. You look like a real Dortmund fan!" Behind him, Bruno patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

After the welcome speech, Nobby went to the south stands and faced the south stands. At the same time, some changes occurred in the south stands.

Mark will pull the scarf and raise his arm, saying excitedly: "Our ceremony is here, this is our ceremony!"

Immediately before Zhou Yi's response, the music sounded along with the chorus.

It was actually "You will never walk alone"!

Although this song is Liverpool's official team song, it has also become a universal fan song, which will be sung in clubs at home in many countries in the world.

At this point, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed a little bit.

Zhou Yi, like Mark, pulled the ends of the scarf with both hands, raised his arms and pulled them away, and the scarf was displayed. He shook his arms while singing.

He didn't enter the state at first, but soon he found some feeling in the chorus.

Tens of thousands of people sang a really shocking song together, which would cause a crit to the soul.

He began to integrate into this stand, into those who are crazy about football, because he is also such a person who loves football...

At this time, the South Grandstand, looking around, was all yellow and black scarves, like a "wall" of 100 meters long and 40 meters high made of blocks of yellow and black bricks!

A yellow and black wall!

The banner was on the wall, the wind was rolling, the singing was loud, this is the south grandstand of Westphalia!

※※※

After the chorus ended, Nobby began to broadcast Dortmund's starting list of the game.

In the past, Zhou Yi always thought that the starting list was played by the live DJ in the studio. Today I know that people are standing on the court and leading everyone to call out the names of the players.

"No. 1, goalkeeper, Roman--"

Nobby reported the player's name, and the Dortmund fans in the stands collectively shouted the player's last name: "Weidenfeller!!!"

At the same time, the player's photo and name, number and other information also appeared on the big screen.

"No. 4, guard, text--"

"Subic!"

Zhou Yi also shouted with everyone, at the same time looking forward to one day, when his name was also shouted like this...

"Twenty-third, midfielder, easy--"

"week!!!"

Zhou Yi suddenly felt that the painting style was wrong when he was very bloody-shouting like that, saying "a week", what the **** is a week? He is not used to this name reversed name, it seems that I will remind Nobby in the future, if you want to introduce him, just call it according to our Chinese habits...

After introducing the starters and substitutes, the last one to be introduced was the head coach.

"Juergen--"

"Klopp!!!"

From the shouts of the fans, it can be heard that although Dortmund's current results are not too good, Klopp still has a high position in their minds. This is not because of the team's performance. 'S love comes more from Klopp's own personality charm.

※※※

After the game started, Zhou Yi's ears were filled with various shouts and songs, and there was no moment of silence. He even wondered if this voice would circle Liang in his ears for three days...

As the game progressed, Zhou Yi also began to feel the difference between the South Grandstand.

Because the people here are standing and watching, and the number is very large-in the Bundesliga, there are many teams that have seats at home, but Dortmund’s Westfalen Stadium has the largest number of seats. -25,000 people.

With so many people gathered together, even a single syllable is enough to make a huge impact over the court.

Not to mention that the South Stand is very close to the stadium and has an extremely steep slope, so that the fans in the bottom row almost bend their legs, and the knees can seem to reach the goalkeeper in front.

The Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wieser, who stood in front of this stand in the first half, played under this pressure-every attack on Dortmund can attract a huge cry from the South Stand, And if Wiese blocks Dortmund's shot, then the South stands will also boo and scold against him.

Singing, shouting, booing, scolding... Dortmund fans standing in the South Stand did not stop themselves for a second. They seemed to tirelessly release their emotions and give the Germans a stereotypical impression. Threw it out of Jiu Xiaoyun.

Here, unlike the seats and the area, there are also identity surprises. As long as you stand on the south stands, no matter what your status is outside the stadium, university professors, ordinary workers, students, or mothers of several children... don't care.

Here, you are the most loyal fan of Dortmund, and 25,000 people have gathered only because of Dortmund Football Club. Whether these people believe in Protestantism or Catholicism... Different religious beliefs are here, and it doesn’t matter at this moment, because Dortmund is the common belief of all of them.

As the fans in the South Stand sang: "Our life, all our pride and joy, only for BVB!!"

Zhou Yi is among them. If someone asks him later how he feels about watching a Dortmund game in the South Stand of Westphalia Stadium, although he can usually talk nonsense, but now he will be difficult to use. Language describes this feeling.

If he didn't want to say "this is an irresistible attraction for me" or "this is a close relationship between the fans and the team", he can only suggest the other person to experience it.

If you don’t stand here, you will never understand why there are so many famous **** fans in the world, "South Stand" and "North Stand". Only Westfalen's "South Stand" is the most prestigious. It’s not just a large number of people... there is really an invisible force that is impacting the soul of everyone standing here.

At least Zhou Yi himself felt that he was gradually melting in this storm of passion.

He didn’t choose Dortmund because he was a fan of Dortmund. The reason he played for Dortmund was different from Mark. He just thought that Dortmund valued himself more. Under Klopp, he might have more opportunities to play. His career is favorable.

This is entirely out of self-interest considerations, objective and rational, but also cold.

But now, after following their non-stop roaring and singing on the South Stand for decades, in addition to the hoarse voice, Zhou Yi has gradually gained another emotion-he is willing to put on these crazy fans Dortmund's yellow jersey, running all-out on this field, sent a good pass to help the team score a goal and win, just to hear the fans of South Stand shouting their names.

When he was still recording the "Heir to the Greenery" program, he played Dortmund U17 in the virtual system for a week. The venue he chose was this Westphalia stadium. It was also full at the time, and the stadium was particularly noisy during the game, filled with fans singing and cheering.

But playing so many games in the virtual system, Zhou Yi's perception and feeling of the stadium is not as deep as it is now.

Because the system can perfectly simulate the sound in reality, even if it is decibel. But everyone who stood in this stand and made such a voice, their feelings for Dortmund, and the story behind this feeling, cannot be simulated by a perfect system.

※※※

In the 64th minute, Dortmund's starting striker, Swiss Alexander Frey used a penalty to break the deadlock for Dortmund.

When the football flew into the goal, everyone in the South Stand jumped up excitedly, then rushed down and hugged. Zhou Yi and Mark were pushed down by the excited fans in the back until they were stabilized by the railing.

Zhou Yi realized that the short railings all over the South Grandstand weren't just for everyone to tie scarves and slogan banners...

In the end, with this penalty from Frey, Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 1:0 at home and achieved a crucial victory.

Zhou Yi, who watched Dortmund's game for the first time on the South Stand, was hard to calm down to evaluate the team's performance at this moment. He was still immersed in the atmosphere of the South Stand and did not recover.

Mark, this is not the first time the kid is watching in the South Stand, nor is it much better than Zhou Yi.

At the end of the game, he turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, with tears in his eyes and said to him: "Zhou Yi, do you know? While standing here to watch the ball, I suddenly remembered my actions of abandoning myself the other day, I put it in the game You deleted the character you built for me... Now I think of it as a big idiot! Fool!"

"I have been a fan of this team since I was born. My biggest dream in life is to play on behalf of Dortmund at the Westfalen Stadium and under the South Stand. I want to be called by Bruno'Daddy'. Name, I want to help Dortmund to pick up the salad plate and the Champions Cup... these dreams have not been realized yet, how could I almost be knocked down by a training class?"

"I decided, no matter how difficult or how difficult, I will realize my dreams! This time I will never be overwhelmed and overwhelmed by dreams! Thank you, Zhou Yi, thank you!"

Zhou Yi patted his shoulder with some emotion, and then he saw the Wagner couple smiling at them and watching them behind Mark.

He said: "Mark~lightnovelpub.net~ I think you should thank your parents even more, no matter what, they will always support you behind you. Isn't this game what they suggested to see?"

So Mark turned to hug his parents, tears could not help it anymore.

And Mrs. Wagner patted his back gently, stroking his head and muttered: "Come on, Mark. You will always be the pride of your mother..."

Old Wagner stood by and smiled and nodded to Zhou Yi opposite.

Zhou Yi also smiled and nodded in return.
