Chapter 236 Westfalen Stadium
The title of this chapter is Weiss Farren One Ball Game

In the exit hall of Dortmund Airport, hundreds of reporters gathered around the Eindhoven coaches who just got off the plane to conduct interviews.

No matter how the security personnel stopped them, they couldn't stop those who handed the microphones in front of Fanny, Gretz and Bai Xiaotian.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Bai Xiaotian's eyes lit up because he found many familiar Asian faces.

Looking at the red national flag on the other party's press card, Bai Xiaotian felt extremely cordial.

"Hey! Hey! Bai Xiaotian, this way, this way!" Seeing Bai Xiaotian in the crowd, several reporters with cameras kept waving at Bai Xiaotian.

Bai Xiaotian turned his head away, politely showing a social smile towards the camera.

These reporters didn't crowd around at the first time, but kept taking pictures of the Eindhoven players with their cameras on the periphery.In their view, this kind of picture of Chinese being sought after by reporters from various countries in the European football world makes them feel honored as compatriots.Sending these photos back to China can definitely achieve the effect of "showing off my ball power".

Although Bai Xiaotian rarely accepts interviews in normal games, as he plays more and more games, he will inevitably be blocked by reporters many times.So Bai Xiaotian can still deal with this situation.

After getting the coach's consent, Bai Xiaotian squeezed to the side of the team, met with the reporters and said hello.

"Hello, Bai Xiaotian, I'm a reporter from China Sports Daily. May I ask how you are doing now, can you start tomorrow's game?"

"I'm in good shape, but whether I can play tomorrow depends on the arrangement of the head coach." Bai Xiaotian can't get PSV Eindhoven's starting roster for every game. In a game of the level of the Europa League final, even the players don't know whether they will start until the last minute.

"If you can play tomorrow, can you still maintain the scoring rate in the league against the Premier League giants Liverpool?"

"It doesn't matter whether I score or not, the teammate cooperates with each other, that's what we want."

While walking and coping with reporters' interviews, Bai Xiaotian was about to walk out of the lobby with the team.At this time, the reporter who was beside Bai Xiaotian quickly said, "Bai Xiaotian, we have another gift for you this time in the Europa League final!"

"Gift?" Bai Xiaotian asked suspiciously.

"Look, Bai Xiaotian!"

As the team walked out of the hall, at the front of the aisles on both sides of the door, there was a group of Chinese fans holding up the national flag and a banner with Bai Xiaotian's name on it.

Seeing Bai Xiaotian's figure, he immediately shouted loudly. "Bai Xiaotian, Bai Xiaotian, Bai Xiaotian, Bai Xiaotian!"

Playing football in the Netherlands for a long time, the fans call themselves "BYE-BOY".But today, the correct pronunciation of his name came out from the mouths of the fans, and Bai Xiaotian heard it with a special taste.

"Bai Xiaotian, on the left are Chinese fans who came to Germany at their own expense to watch your game! On the right are local Chinese. They gathered together today to cheer for you and hope you can win."

Looking at the screaming female fans in the crowd, Bai Xiaotian waved his hands and said loudly, "Thank you for your support, I will work hard!"

Afterwards, Bai Xiaotian followed his teammates on the bus and went to the hotel arranged by the club.

At the press conference that afternoon, Liverpool Houllier announced the Liverpool starting list openly.In his opinion, setting an example for teams outside the five major leagues is what Liverpool should do, even if the opponent is Eindhoven.

No matter how strong Eindhoven is in the Eredivisie, how many goals Ruud van Nistelrooy, Van Bommel, Kežman and others scored and how well they played.Liverpool has the pride of Liverpool, and in terms of stars, Liverpool does not give in too much.

Houllier announced the starting list, and Gretz didn't play tricks, directly facing the microphone, and read the names of every player on the starting list.

When the word "BAI XIAOTIAN" was heard, there was a burst of cheers from a corner of the audience.Although it had been expected, the reporters couldn't help being very excited when this event actually came.

People like Yang Chen, Xie Hui, and Ma Mingyu are either in the second division team, or the team is on the way to the second division team.Who, like Bai Xiaotian, can start the Europa League final?

After confirming that they had no auditory hallucinations, the reporters wrote in their notebooks that Bai Xiaotian was still starting and would lead Eindhoven to compete for the championship.Yes, the word "lead" is used.

That night, major media around the world conducted so-called "expert" analysis on the starting lineups and formations of the two sides, and predicted the outcome of the game.

It is worth mentioning that, except for China and the Netherlands, almost all the media in other countries think that Liverpool will win.

Eindhoven eliminated Barcelona, ​​and Liverpool also eliminated Alaves, the biggest dark horse in this cup.Judging from the promotion path of the two teams, Liverpool is not easier than Eindhoven.

In fact, in China, some people are still optimistic about Liverpool.Although the Hubei lottery incident caused a lot of uproar a few days ago, many fans still placed bets on Liverpool.The euphemism is that Eindhoven is happy when they lose and win money, and Eindhoven is also happy when they win and count money.The psychology of later generations buying the national football team and losing.

For this match, although Bai Xiaotian's live broadcast room had a screen broadcast, the Central Five also had a signal broadcast.After all, the Europa League final is enough, and Bai Xiaotian is also involved.

The next day, May 5, PSV and Liverpool had a chance to get acquainted with the pitch during the daytime split.Here, for the players on both sides, it is very strange.

Signal Iduna Park Stadium, which is the name of later generations, is currently called Westfalen Stadium.Home of Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.UEFA five-star stadium, the largest stadium in Germany and one of the largest football stadiums in Europe.

After several expansions, the Westfalen Stadium can now accommodate more than 70000 fans, of which the south stand can accommodate 25000 fans, which is the largest single-sided stand in European stadiums.

Of course, the capacity of the Westfalenstadion will not stop there.As Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga gets better and better, the number of expansions at the Westfalenstadion will also increase.

In football games, the size and size of many pitches are not fixed, some pitches are bigger, some pitches are smaller, some pitches are yellow, some pitches are green.And even if they are all green, the composition of the turf is also various.

Bai Xiaotian took the ball and ran back and forth on the field for a few laps, changing the studs under his feet to the most comfortable one.A good pair of football shoes can double the performance of players.

After lunch, fans who came early entered the stadium one after another.The red-yellow showdown is very clear.With such a large stadium and such an important game, the security situation at the scene is also a very important issue.In this case, many fans lined up while biting hot dogs.However, the excitement of the fans did not diminish, but became more and more excited.

As time went on, the seats in the stadium gradually filled up.Although it is Dortmund's home stadium, there are quite a few British and Dutch fans here.Giants with a long history like Liverpool and PSV have their own clusters all over the world.

In the stands of the yellow fans, there are also some red figures.It was embarrassing for these unprepared fans. Originally, Eindhoven's flag and jersey also had red, and their own national flag was also red, so they didn't think that the side they supported today was wearing a yellow jersey.

Some angry fans looked sideways, but after seeing the familiar but unfamiliar Asian faces, they all looked enlightened.Everyone knows that the hometown of Goodbye Boy is the distant ancient country in the east, and these fans are all fans from his hometown.After everyone knew about it, the touch of red stayed safely.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the final match of the Europa League in the 00-01 season, the final of Liverpool VS Eindhoven, was about to start.

----split line----

Kyrgyzstan is really awesome, even though it was defeated.What a pity that goal beam in the last minute of overtime, three goal frames in a game.
