Game day!
It was the happiest day in all of East Berlin.
If Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga represents West Germany and the capital, then only Union Berlin can represent East Germany and the proletariat!
It's a pity that since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the two teams have never had the chance to meet.
Union Berlin's red-clad fans can only bring their families to the Old Forest Management Stadium on every home match day to cheer for the team!
Every game day, half of Berlin feels like a festival!
Josephine felt the excitement of match day deeply.
She arrived at the stadium 3 hours ahead of schedule and found herself stuck in traffic, unable to move.
With no other option, Josephine parked her bright yellow Mini in a side alley and walked 3 kilometers to the stadium.
Soon, Union Berlin fans from all directions overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
"Iron Alliance! Unyielding!"
"Forward! With the Iron Alliance!"
"We advance tirelessly from the east of Berlin!"
"Steel Alliance, fighting together!"
...
Along the way, fans sang the team song.
The singing was so contagious that Josephine, who usually stayed fresh and composed, couldn't help humming along with this anthem of the working class.
By the time she reached the stadium, she had learned the entire song and couldn't help shouting excitedly with the fans around her:
"Eisern_Union!"
"Iron Alliance!"
Even a beautiful girl from the Mori family like her attracted the attention of many fans.
One bald, chubby uncle approached her cheerfully:
"You look unfamiliar. Are you a new fan? Interested in joining our Iron Alliance?"
Their fan association also calls itself the "Steel League".
Josephine, taken aback by his imposing figure and bald head, couldn't hear what he said clearly and waved her hands repeatedly.
The uncle didn't mind and asked with a smile:
"Do you have a favorite player?"
Josephine heard this clearly and exclaimed loudly:
"Su Luo!"
The uncle gave her a thumbs up. "You've got good taste, little lady! He's our star player!"
With that, the uncle rejoined the crowd and continued marching towards the stadium.
Josephine was left surprised.
Is that guy who always steals kisses from her really that popular?
Meanwhile, little Anya, still wearing her pink beanie, followed the crowd.
Seeing her father return, she pouted and complained:
"Dad, you're talking to a little girl. Be careful, I'll tell Mom."
Uncle Hans chuckled:
"I'm trying to attract new fans to join the club. I bet they're just casual fans who come to watch occasionally, so they're not interested."
Anya still wanted to turn back, but amidst the crowd, she caught a glimpse of a very pretty lady.
Unfortunately, there were too many people, and she couldn't find her again.
Looking forward to seeing Su Luo play live again later, she felt very happy.
After two consecutive away games, it had been a while since they had a home game, and surrounding fans even brought elderly family members along.
Bud's father, Lyman, was temporarily discharged from the hospital with an oxygen tube in his nose just to watch the game at home.
"I told you, watching TV at home is just as good..."
"Are you kidding me?" Lyman retorted, wanting to pat Bud on the back of the head.
Bud instinctively dodged, and the old man's hand missed.
Hans, Anya, Su Luo's die-hard fan Hogan, and others around them burst into laughter.
These were the die-hard members of the Iron Alliance who often traveled to away games and were the backbone of the stands, leading the fans to create momentum!
Their performance during the games was crucial alongside the players on the field!
...
Standing in the player tunnel, Su Luo was no longer nervous.
This was the third time in his career starting an official game for the senior team.
There might be countless starting opportunities in the future, but he still cherished the excitement every time he walked out of the player tunnel onto the green field!
There, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he scored crucial goals.
That feeling mesmerized him!
To enter the Bundesliga and later the Champions League and other bigger stages, he would give his all in every game!
"...Next up is our new star, the new hero of the Iron Alliance!"
"Let's call his name together!"
When Su Luo emerged, it was the announcer's turn to announce!
"Forward No. 39—"
"Su Luo——"
In the VIP seat, Josephine shouted in unison with all the fans!
She even wanted to continue shouting: "He's my boyfriend."
But then she held back.
What was their relationship now?
That guy hadn't confessed again...
In the surrounding fans' fanatical atmosphere, Josephine quickly put these thoughts behind her.
Cheering for Union Berlin, cheering for Su Luo—that was the most important thing!
...
Feeling the enthusiasm of the home fans, the Union Berlin players were quite excited today.
At the start of the game, they fought aggressively, with the whole team running like mad dogs, quickly gaining the upper hand on the field.
Seeing that Carl Sruhe was struggling to control the midfield, they decided to abandon the fight and park the bus firmly in the backcourt.
Since the last round against Cologne was overshadowed,
This time Union Berlin didn't attack recklessly, and the two full-backs didn't press too high, ready to defend against the opponent's counterattack at any moment.
Su Luo didn't get much support. He was almost submerged in the jungle of the opponent's backline and didn't get a good chance for the time being.
Only a long shot from outside the penalty area missed the goal.
After playing for 15 minutes and seeing that Carl Sruhe had no intention of counterattacking,
Neuhaus decided to be bold,
He came to the sidelines and blew a loud whistle,
Attracting the attention of some players, he gestured "all troops attack".
"Attack hard, lads!
Let them see the momentum of our Iron Alliance!"
