Ice Shooter of the Green Field

In the second half of the game against Everton, Klopp rotated several main players. Zidan was replaced by Valdes, and then Kyle was also replaced by Bender. This is all for the next league game. A league game is the highlight of the season, the Ruhr Derby.

This is one of the most intense derby matches in the world. Perhaps the smell of gunpowder is not as serious as some South American derby matches in the South American National League, but the momentum created by the fans is not bad at all.

The Ruhr Derby also has a nickname, called the mother of the Derby. From this alone, you can know the status of the Ruhr Derby.

This derby, which will be dubbed by Chinese fans in the future as Meituan vs. Ele.me, still attracts the attention of domestic fans at this time.

In addition to Qi Ce, Hao Junmin, another overseas player, had already had the opportunity to play in the previous German Cup match, but although he entered the squad in the subsequent league, he never got the opportunity to play. The fans very much hope that this game can see Hao Junmin and Qi Ce compete on the same stage.

But the fans were disappointed in the end. Hao Junmin was not included in the starting list for the next round of the Ruhr Derby, and he was still placed on the bench.

In the winter window of this year, Ma Dashuai, who was dismissed from Wolfsburg at the beginning of the season, found a new job. He took over Schalke 04. Magath had a good evaluation of Hao Junmin, but said that the Chinese player still needs to strengthen his physical training , so it will not appear in the starting list for the time being.

It is a good thing to be recognized by a famous coach, but the most important thing is to be able to play football and listen to the advice of the famous coach.

Returning to Dortmund from Liverpool, Klopp still decided to give the players a day off, restorative physical training on the second day, and went directly to the Schalke Stadium on the third day.

Klopp can feel that there are too many things to think about as the head coach of a strong team.

He seldom thought about such things as leading a team to play in the intercontinental league. After all, it is good to do well now. It was not until the last season of Mainz that Klopp, who was relegated early, began to prepare for the next journey and began to think about these things question.

But when I actually encountered it, I still found it very difficult.

Not to mention the players, even Klopp himself felt a little tired. After staying in Liverpool for one night, he went back to Dortmund the next morning and took a day off, but he didn’t have a good rest. He was in the hotel in the morning and returned to Dortmund. It's noon, and it's already afternoon when I go home after eating.

It’s okay for a player like Qi Ce who doesn’t like to play. Guys who want to go out for a long time often come to training with a listless look. Then the next day is recovery training. On the third day, the weekend comes, and with it Correspondingly, the league is coming.

The Bundesliga is relatively loose, but the Europa League is not loose. The Europa League has two more games than the Champions League.

But the synchronization ended, which means that the Europa League began to compress the game time in the first round of the knockout round. For the Europa League participating teams in the major leagues, there are basically two games a week.

This is also one of the reasons why many Premier League teams don't care about the most important Europa League, there are many games.

Don't watch just two more games. In the second half of the league in February, this time period is very critical. In order to achieve good results in the Europa League and affect the league, this is a great loss.

The suburb of Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, proudly went to the Schalke Stadium.

This stadium is also known as Wiljens Stadium, but people prefer the more domineering name of this stadium - Pride to Schalke, maybe this stadium is not as famous as Dortmund's Westerly Arena, the atmosphere of Dortmund Devil's home stadium But it is famous all over the world.

But proudly going to the Schalke Stadium should not be underestimated!

Because they once created the strongest stadium sound of 129 decibels, a sound test equipment was installed at the Schalke Stadium, which was used to detect the sound of the fans on the scene. In the 2006-2007 season, Schalke 04 played against Stuttgart at home. In the game, the home team's goal caused the fans at that time to shout a super high pitched sound of 129 decibels!

There has never been any stadium, and fans in any game can make a louder "noise". According to scientists, the sound wave of 129 decibels is about equal to the decibels detected one meter away when the rocket is launched, which is about Around 130.

The sound of the Schalke 04 fans shouting with manpower can be compared with a rocket launch!

This is why the Ruhr Derby between Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund is considered by many to be the mother of the derby. These two stadiums are legends, and the confrontation between legends is of course eye-catching.

The game started in the afternoon of the same day. The weather at the end of February made it more comfortable to play in the afternoon.

Dortmund's starting lineup has been slightly adjusted. The goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller. Defenders Gross Klotz, Hummels, Subotic and Schmelzer continue to start. It is Kyle and Bender, the midfielder is Shinji Kagawa, Qi Dan, Zize and Kuba are the three arrows.

Bender playing instead of Shaheen means defending first. After all, it is an away game. Schalke 04 has excellent offensive ability under the training of Magath this season. He has inspired the full potential of Peruvian international Farfan. Rakitic also played better and better. These attacking midfielders will cause a lot of trouble for Dortmund. Klopp decided to go to Bender to contain the opponent's attack.

Schalke 04's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Neuer, the defender is led by Rafinha, who was selected as the best half-time player this season, Hewedes from the youth training and Brazilian veteran Bodden partner as a central defender, and the left back is Pan Del.

In the midfield, Jones, Ze Roberto and Rakitic started. This midfield combination has experience, drive, technology and hardness, a combination of old, middle-aged and young.

The three strikers are Kuranyi, Farfan and teenager Holtby.

Holtby is the biggest discovery of Schalke 04 this season. Originally, Holtby was already on the loan list of Schalke 04, but in the two games before the winter window closed, Holtby’s performance made Schalke Ke 04 changed his mind. He sent three assists in two games. Schalke 04 immediately decided to remove the teenager from the loan list and promised to give him a chance in the second half of the season.

Holtby did not disappoint Royal Blue. Recently, he has even become the team's main winger. For Chinese fans, this teenager is not very friendly.

After all, Hao Junmin and him are in the same position, and both of them can play most positions in the frontcourt and midfield. Holtby's main force means that it is difficult for Hao Junmin to get a chance to play.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Holtby performed well, and Hao Junmin was sitting on the bench. In the previous German Cup game, Hao Junmin was replaced by Holtby.

Coming out of the player tunnel, Zize felt the unusualness of this stadium.

It is not the direct visual impact like the West ** stadium, but the sound. This stadium is worthy of creating a super volume of rocket launch decibels, which can be said to be the strongest sound in the Bundesliga!

In Mainz, Zize also followed the team to the Schalke game, but in that game Zize served as a substitute and did not play, because at that time Mainz was sprinting for the German Cup with all its strength, in order to advance, Klopp chose to take turns to rest.

That game did not leave a deep impression on Zize. The team lost and he did not play. The most important thing is that Mainz and Schalke 04 are not mortal enemies, and the fans are not as emotional as they are today. Excited.

But today, as soon as he came out of the player tunnel, he could feel an explosion-like sound hitting his face!

The Schalke 04 fans unceremoniously booed the visiting team Dortmund, but there was another burst of cheers immediately. This kind of state of switching freely made Zize admired very much.

What matters is the sound.

If there is usually a buzzing sound in the sound-proof player tunnel, then it was just a bang, and when you go out, you will see the ocean, with the shouts of Schalke 04 fans in all directions!

Like West **, this will bring unimaginable pressure to the visiting team, and Zize felt it before the game even started.

At this time, the sound test equipment of Aofu Schalke Stadium shows that the volume of the stadium has reached 118 decibels. This is still the case before the game has started. This is equivalent to the sound of a loudspeaker at a rock band concert. The loudspeaker of the on-site announcer was overwhelmed by the fanatical royal blue fans, and they couldn't even hear the team's starting lineup broadcast by the on-site speaker.

This is also a test for the head coach.

Usually the head coach shouts on the sidelines, such as eating a bowl of imaginative rice, which will also play a certain role in the mentality of the players in the game.

In this stadium, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for the players to hear the voice of the head coach.
