Chapter 523 Foreplay
In the No.30 third round of the weekend league, Dortmund played away against Kaiserslautern. Klopp put Barrios in the starting lineup.

The rumors about his transfer are completely certain. Although there is no official announcement, Barrios has bid farewell to fans and teammates on his official Twitter.And personally admitted that he will go to China to accept new challenges.

Not everyone can understand Barrios' choice. To be precise, many people don't understand. Dortmund fans even have some complaints in their hearts.Although everyone understands that it is natural for professional players to play football for money, in the end it is just someone else's job.But if such a reason is too obvious, it will often be despised by everyone.

But that doesn't change the fact.Barrios doesn't have much left in Dortmund.Counting this game, there are only four games left: two league games, plus the German Cup final and the Champions League final.

And there are even fewer opportunities to play, at least in the last few rounds of Lewandowski replacing him in the first round, he has been able to play a role in replacing him.The Dortmund media speculated that Klopp would not have risked using him in the two finals if the situation did not require it.

So these two insignificant league games will be his farewell games in Dortmund.

The next two opponents are not challenging. Kaiserslautern is firmly ranked last in the league and has been relegated before the last round. The last opponent Freiburg is ranked No. No. 12, no worries about relegation, no hope of participating in the European war, no desires, no desires.Such a game has no practical value except for Dortmund to adjust its state and prepare for the Champions League final.suspense?nonexistent!

Although Kaiserslautern coach Balakov strongly encourages offense, it is just a battle of the trapped beasts.

Although they also scored two goals for Dortmund, which is already remarkable, Dortmund easily responded to their five-goal crit.

After winning Kaiserslautern 2:5, Dortmund will return to their home court for the final game of the league. In the last game against Freiburg, the Westphalia lun is fully packed.Except for the seats reserved for the needs of stadium security, the open area is full of fans.

The opponents in this game are not attractive.The fans came completely for the award ceremony after the game.

The brand-new salad plate trophy is placed at the exit of the player tunnel, and countless banners are swaying in the stands on all sides. On it is a golden salad plate that is more than one size larger than the real thing, holding the Dortmund team logo with a golden crown, There is also a line of words written on it: Great Dynasty!
Dortmund fans showed their expectations like this.The official salad plate is silver, but it is inlaid with gold rims for the fans, which is enough to explain the current mentality of the fans.

With two consecutive championships, there will definitely be three consecutive championships and four consecutive championships... Dortmund has experienced the trough that made all Dortmund fans suffer, and finally embarked on the right path of revival.

Of course, there are always fans with higher expectations. For example, in the South Stand, Zhou Zhenyong asked everyone to make a slogan: More than one champion!In addition to the salad plate, there are also the trophies of the German Cup and the Big Ears Cup of the Champions League. Zhou Tiancheng is holding these three trophies with both hands.

This kind of creativity allowed them to earn a lot of attention in the stands for the first time. These young international students felt such gazes, their eyes were very proud, and they felt awesome.

This is of course Zhou Zhenyong's idea.Since the comeback against Barcelona, ​​he has suddenly become quite confident.Only such a slogan can represent his truest thoughts.

……

It goes without saying that Klopp has confidence in this game, it can be seen from the starting lineup - Zhou Tiancheng will take a rest this time, and Klopp is obviously saving his strength for the next two games.The starting midfield option is Sven Bender partnering with the first captain Kyle.

Kyle has lost his position this season. Klopp put him in the starting lineup. The big reason is because of the need for the award ceremony after the game. After all, he is also the first captain of the team. The award ceremony is to represent the team If the team wins the cup, if it doesn't hurt or itch for a minute in the closing game, the media will be expected to fire it-the captain of Dortmund successfully won the championship...

Well, that's true though.But Klopp still pays great attention to protecting the self-esteem of the players. After all, Kyle has made great contributions to this team.

But even with this lineup, Dortmund firmly controlled the game in their own hands.It can even be said that it went smoothly beyond imagination.

Dortmund scored four goals in the first half, No. 309 minutes, the score on the field has been rewritten to 4:0.

There is no suspense about the result of the game, and the second half is more like a big party for the fans.The cheers never stopped.

The Freiburg players didn't have a strong will to resist, and the Dortmund players also took the initiative to slow down. At this time, everyone pays attention to protecting themselves and understands that they can't beat the opponent too badly, otherwise they will become others' punching bag, and their thighs and calves will suffer. Last time, it is a small thing not to play in the German Cup final. If you miss the Champions League final due to a small loss, it will be a big loss.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Klopp replaced Zhou Tiancheng to warm up. In fact, he was given a chance to accept the applause and cheers of all fans on an occasion like today.

And the topic of the commentators has long been involved outside the game.

"Zhou Tiancheng played. Klopp is nothing more than letting him take a formality. His performance throughout the season, he is absolutely worthy of the treatment given to him by the fans. He has definitely contributed a lot to this step. With him, there is hope. The game against Barcelona is the best commentary. The next step is to see how high he can push his status in Dortmund's mind, and it will be the Champions League final. The road to Dortmund's rise is It started with the Champions League."

The referee blew the final whistle, and Westphalia became a sea of ​​carnival.Marcel Leff shouted excitedly: "Champion! Dortmund! Klopp's team is writing history, this is just the beginning!"

After the game, Chen Pengfei walked over from the Freiburg camp and congratulated Zhou Tiancheng sincerely: "Congratulations, Brother Cheng, come on for the Champions League final, and I will be there then."

Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "When the time comes, call out in the group, call Haozi and the others, and tell them, I'll invite them to the big show."

"What big show? How did you know that the competition would be fierce... Fuck, can you predict it?" Chen Pengfei exclaimed.

"You think I'm a god? That's not it. Keep it a secret now, and you'll know when the time comes."

"Keep it a secret from me." Chen Pengfei made a contemptuous gesture, then turned and walked towards the player's tunnel on the sidelines.Leave the celebratory moments on the court to Zhou Tiancheng.

Kyle took over the salad plate on behalf of Dortmund, and the cheers on the scene reached the extreme.But Duan Xuan commented with a smile: "Westphalia has entered the (climax), but this is not enough, not enough. Where is this? I have the opportunity to bring this cheer to the Allianz Arena half a month later, so that it can be heard all over Europe!"
