Chapter 3119 The German Cup final begins, Ten Hag prepares for the Champions League final!
Time flew by and it was May 15th.
On this day, fans from both sides gathered in Berlin.
Tonight's final will be held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, which is also the regular venue for the German Cup final.
This stadium can hold a total of 75000 people.
Both sides' fans received 3 votes each, while the remaining 15000 votes were taken by neutral fans.
Of course, this match could be the first trophy Ye Chen wins after returning to the Bundesliga.
Therefore, the pre-match hype was extremely high, and ticket sales increased several times over.
There's nothing we can do about it; Ye Chen has accumulated a large number of die-hard fans along the way.
For such crucial events, fans all want to be there in person to witness them!
Beautiful fans~
The same situation as with the German Cup final is happening with tickets for the Champions League final...
The cheapest tickets have now increased fivefold.
But still, no fans are willing to sell!
Once you've secured a ticket, start planning your trip immediately.
This is a rare opportunity, and all the fans want to cherish it.
Of course, the Champions League final is still a long way off.
With Manchester United being the favorite, Dortmund fans are even more united.
I plan to go to the finals venue and stand with the team through thick and thin!
As evening fell, Berlin was shrouded in a layer of leaden-gray clouds, with the temperature hovering around 13 degrees Celsius. A damp, cool breeze carried the shouts of fans across the dome of the Olympic Stadium.
The grass reflected light under the lamps.
However, the fans who arrived early were drawn to the players from both sides warming up on the field.
Pretty girl~
Especially Ye Chen, who was wearing a yellow training uniform.
Wherever he appears, he becomes the center of attention.
The football frequently came to Ye Chen's feet, and Ye Chen's tall figure was particularly eye-catching. Every move he made was smooth and fluid, without the slightest unnecessary action... It was a sight to behold!
However, the players soon returned to the locker room.
Both head coaches and coaching staff have also developed targeted tactics best suited for tonight's game based on the latest starting lineups of both sides.
Of course, there was some very good news before the match – that is, Nagelsmann will replace Flick as the new Bayern coach next season.
In other words, this is the only tournament where Nagelsmann has a chance to lead Red Bull to victory.
So in the Red Bull locker room, he shouted the slogan "Revenge".
Two 6-goal defeats pushed them to the brink of elimination.
Before the match, the media didn't dare to hype them up anymore.
Some even believe that the German Cup final is a sure thing for Dortmund.
In the words of a local Dortmund newspaper, "This is a one-sided match; Dortmund is about to lift their fifth German Cup trophy!"
The analysis inside is quite reasonable.
RB Leipzig couldn't even beat an exhausted Dortmund, let alone a Dortmund team that had rested for a whole week.
However, bad news kept coming from Dortmund before the match.
The injury list has been expanded by four players: Zagadou, Schmelzer, Moukoko, and Mateu Morei.
With Witsel already injured, Dortmund's situation isn't greatly affected.
It's because most of the injured players are substitutes.
Murray did have a chance to compete for a starting position, but this injury has undoubtedly caused him to relinquish his starting spot.
For these last few matches, whether it's to maintain the players' form or to strengthen the defense, Mazraoui is the better choice.
Of course, this is all on the premise that Mazrawi does not get injured!
Tonight's referee is Felix Brich, a familiar face to Ye Chen, who has officiated many important matches such as the Champions League and the German Cup final.
The match time is approaching.
In the players' tunnel, both teams' players were ready.
Ye Chen greeted a few familiar players and then stood at the front of the line.
Standing next to him was Red Bull's captain, Sabitzer.
I must say, his rugged appearance, coupled with his tied-up ponytail, gives him a unique kind of handsomeness.
Previously, Ye Chen thought that men who wore ponytails were effeminate.
But after living in Europe for a while, I've found that some men look really handsome with their hair up...
Indeed, aesthetics are constantly changing.
"set off!"
After having his assistant check the number of players on both teams, Brich led the players out of the tunnel.
Immediately, the scene erupted in excitement!
The fans of both sides started their battle even before the match began.
Bamboo Forest Melody @My Favorite Type~
Overwhelm your opponent with a huge shout and song!
However, German fans are known for their fervor, and no one can really do anything about it.
The elaborate pre-match ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.
Ye Chen also exchanged team flags with Sabitzer and took a photo with the referee.
After all the pre-match ceremonies were over, the players from both sides took their places.
This time, RB Leipzig kicked off first...
"o0loveless: Dortmund has a solid chance in this match after defeating Leipzig twice this season."
"True Hero: Seriously, just look at the Dortmund players' energetic faces, it's hard to lose!"
"When the rain is cold: With this energy and spirit, it feels like we've already won half the battle."
"Bonus chapters must go on! Dortmund has always been Red Bull's nemesis; it's been a long time since I've seen such a solid German Cup final..."
"Qin Yang Gongzi from Nanwei Beach: The last time we won the championship was in the 16-17 season. I remember Dortmund beat Frankfurt 2-1 to win the title! I really miss those days..."
"All right: I think the 11-12 season is more memorable for me, after all, we beat Bayern 5-2 in that match, awesome!!!"
"..."
Fans started popping champagne online in advance.
"Beep~"
While the fans were discussing it enthusiastically, the referee, Brych, had already blown his whistle.
The competition has officially begun!
On live streaming platforms in various countries, the hosts were introducing the starting lineups for both sides.
First, let's introduce RB Leipzig's formation.
"RB Leipzig's formation remains 3-5-2 today, but the squad has undergone significant changes."
"The goalkeeper is still Gulacsi."
"The three center-backs are Halstenberg, Upamecano, and Klostermann."
"The five midfielders are Sabitzer, Amadou Haidara, Kampl, Olmo, and Mujile."
"The two strikers are Hwang Hee-chan and Thellot."
Hwang Hee-chan scored the only goal in the last game, and he was given a starting opportunity again in this game.
Instead, Forsberry was replaced by Therloth.
Thelott is a Norwegian center forward born in 95, standing at a full 195cm tall!
The reason for bringing him on this time was clearly to make the game simpler and more direct.
"Dortmund still uses the familiar 433 formation!"
"Goalkeeper Onana."
"The back four is Guerrero, Hummels, Thiago Silva and Mazraoui."
"The midfield three are Emre Can, Bellingham and Brandt."
"Left winger Reus, forward Ye Chen, right winger Sancho."
Without a doubt, this is Dortmund's strongest lineup right now.
However, Bellingham is unavailable for the Champions League final, and Ten Hag must find a suitable replacement for the next two league matches.
Otherwise, the Champions League final will be a problem...
Think of Manchester United's De Bruyne, Modric, and Rice.
How can Dortmund's midfielders even touch down opponents?
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine...
Remember, whoever controls the midfield controls the game.
Dortmund's midfield isn't even fit to shine Manchester United's shoes!
P.S.: Thanks to [o0loveless] for the wonderful post and to [本色英熊] for urging me to update! I'm only keeping going thanks to these gifts~~ *crying emoji*
