Westphalia is just the beginning

Sitting on the bus to Westphalia, Kaiser felt a little nervous. He looked at De Bruyne who was sitting in a daze.

　　"Kevin, how did you feel when you went to play football in Westphalia for the first time last year? I heard that the atmosphere in the stadium there was particularly oppressive. Is that true?"

　　Faced with Kaiser's inquiry, De Bruyne thought for a moment and did not give an answer immediately.

　　"Last year, I played two games in Westfalen, one in the Bundesliga and one in the German Cup semi-finals. Unfortunately we lost both."

　　"The atmosphere in the stadium is indeed very stressful, but compared to the discomfort of losing, I think this pressure is not worth mentioning."

　　"No matter what stadium I'm on, no matter what team I'm playing on, I want to win."

　　"Kevin, this doesn't sound like your speaking style." Seeing De Bruyne, who was usually not very expressive, say such words, Kaiser felt a little curious.

　　"I just want to win!"

　　After listening to De Bruyne's words, Kaiser thought of De Bruyne's recent experiences.

　　As we all know, as a young talent in Belgium, De Bruyne, who played well for the Genk team in the Belgian League for several consecutive years, was bought by Chelsea.

　　Then he was loaned to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. In one season at Werder Bremen, De Bruyne performed well almost full time! Just when he thought he would be reused after returning to Chelsea next season.

　　In the first half of the 13-14 season, Mourinho only gave him three chances to play for half a season, then abandoned him and evaluated him as an unnecessary member of the team.

　　Therefore, in the second half of the season, Wolfsburg bought De Bruyne. De Bruyne also used his outstanding performance to become the core of Wolfsburg's offense.

　　Everyone knew that De Brau was holding his breath inside. He wants to prove himself to Chelsea, to Mourinho, and to prove that he is an indispensable midfield talent.

　　Coupled with the experience of being cuckolded by national team teammate Courtois not long ago, This makes De Bruyne even more determined to play better and achieve success to vent his depression.

　　He is probably one of the players on the team who most wants Wolfsburg to make a difference this year.

　　Thinking of this, Kaiser, who is focused on competing for the championship for his own system rewards, feels that De Bruyne should also have a strong desire for the championship.

　　"Kevin, what do you think of our prospects this year? Can we win a championship?"

　　"Championship?! The Bundesliga is unlikely. Bayern has been undefeated in 15 consecutive league games this year. We are seven points ahead of us in second place in the league. Our chances in the Bundesliga are pitiful. We can only try in the German Cup and Europa League. Let's take a look. The most likely one is the German Cup! After all, we also reached the semi-finals last year."

　　"Of course, Kaiser, if you can play as well as you did in the last round in every round, our chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased."

　　"But to be honest, the championship is still far away from us. Kaiser, don't feel any psychological pressure."

　　After speaking, De Bruyne patted Kaiser on the shoulder, put on his headphones and began to close his eyes and rest.

　　Every round of the game is as good as the last round. Hearing these words, Kaiser strengthened his belief, I will, I will definitely play better than the last round.

　　After several hours of driving, the team bus finally arrived at its destination, a five-star hotel less than three kilometers away from the Westfalenstadion.

　　After getting off the car, he took his luggage and walked to the designated room. Kaiser was assigned a room with the team's old captain Nardo.

　　After putting down our luggage and having a simple dinner in the hotel restaurant, head coach Heijing invited everyone to a one-hour tactical meeting.

　　At the meeting, Heijin told Kaiser that he would let Kaiser come on as a substitute in the second half of tomorrow's game, but he would at least give him more than 30 minutes.

　　Kaiser was a little excited after receiving the guarantee of the head coach's playing time. After the meeting, he went to the hotel's own gym to practice more. Every eight hours of training, you can get one skill point, which makes Kaiser always use all his time to train as fast as possible.

　　At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, I went outside and took the bus to the Westfalenstadion.

　　When he walked to the block near the stadium, groups of Hornets fans wearing yellow and black uniforms stood on both sides of the street facing the Wolfsburg team bus and sang the team song loudly.

　　In the square surrounding the stadium, countless Hornets fans dyed everything they looked at yellow and black.

　　Looking at the Westfalenstadion in front of him, Kaiser sighed: "Dortmund has played so poorly this season, but the atmosphere of the fans is still so enthusiastic!"

　　"After all, it's Dortmund, with the most fanatical fans in the Bundesliga," De Bruyne couldn't help but sigh.

　　"One day, we will also have fans like this who will never give up and cheer for us enthusiastically!"

　　On December 17, at 7 pm, Dortmund and Wolfsburg will make their debut at the Westfalenstadion. This world-famous hell stadium did not become deserted because of the team's poor record. Instead, it took on a tragic and fanatical atmosphere.

　　The fanatical fans let out earth-shattering cheers, and all the fans in the stands raised their hands to cheer for the team. This is Dortmund's last home game in the first half of the season. In the first half of the season, including this game, there are only two rounds left.

　　At this time when Christmas is approaching, if Dortmund cannot win this final home game. I believe that all Dortmund fans will not be in a good mood for the holidays.

　　"Good evening, dear viewers, the 16th round of the Bundesliga begins today, and we followed the camera to the Westfalenstadion.

　　This season Dortmund seems to have lost its former edge. Dortmund, which has competed with Bayern Munich twice for two championships and two runner-ups in the past four years, is still in the middle and lower reaches of the standings.

　　After losing Lewandowski this season, the purchased Immobile was obviously completely unable to replace Lewandowski, Royce's injury also caused huge losses to the team.

　　In this last home game before the New Year, let us wait and see whether Dortmund can send New Year blessings to their fanatical fans at the Westfalenstadion.

　　Their opponent is Wolfsburg, who are second in the standings, although seven points behind Bayern. But I believe they will still win every game for the championship. Let's take a look, Dortmund started 4231

　　Goalkeeper: Langerak.

　　Defenders: Durm, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.

　　Midfielder: Grosskreutz, Kyle, Gundogan, Sven Bender, Aubameyang.

　　Forward: Immobile.

　　Wolfsburg starts 4231

　　Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

　　Defenders: Sebastian Jung, Nardo, Knoch, Ricardo Rodriguez.

　　Midfielder: Vierinha, De Bruyne, Gustavo, Pesilic, Guilavogi

　　Forward: Dost.

　　Let us hope that the team will bring us a wonderful game. "

　　As soon as the game started, Dortmund's players began to frantically attack Wolfsburg's defense.

　　The double defensive midfielder composed of Gilajwo and Gustave was almost useless under the crazy impact of Aubameyang and Grosskreutz.

　　The broken midfield defense was rushed and unable to provide cover for the back line.

　　Immobile easily received the pass from Aubameyang with his back. When he turned around and prepared to shoot, he was interfered by Jung who came over from defense, and his shot flew out of the baseline.

　　Dieter Heijing looked at the defensive line that was in danger just after the game started. He was furious and shouted loudly on the sidelines.

　　"Where have your brains gone? I've told you so many times that Dortmund will attack like crazy when the game opens. Defend intensively! Come back and defend! Their big man has average footwork, keep an eye on Aubamey. Young's breakthrough and Gundogan's late insertion"

　　Immobile, who just moved to Dortmund this year, has become a well-known parallel import in the entire Bundesliga.

　　As the center who replaced Lewandowski, he only scored two goals in the past 15 Bundesliga games. This performance is simply a disaster. 

　　Aubameyang, the extremely fast winger, is one of the few bright spots in Dortmund this season.

　　Before Wolfsburg's defense had completely stabilized. Klopp, who was directing from the other side, also waved his hand and directly asked Sven Bender and Kyle to press forward.

　　Just stop midfield and rush into Wolfsburg's 30-meter area. At this moment, Wolfsburg's defense completely collapsed.

　　In the 8th minute of the game, Gundogan passed the ball to Immobile's feet with a through ball. After receiving the ball, Immobile leaned against Nardo, moved the ball to the left, and squeezed Nardo with his body. Duo, before Kloch grabbed the ball, passed the ball to Aubameyang, who was unmarked and inserted diagonally into the small penalty area.

　　After getting the ball, Aubameyang flicked the ball from the side of Benaglio and into the goal.

　　Only 8 minutes into the game, Wolfsburg's goal was broken.

　　"GOAL!!!! Aubameyang scored. After nearly half a season, Immobile finally received his first assist in the Bundesliga. Dortmund showed their craziest performance at the beginning of the game. Performance! This is the Dortmund we know!"

　　Following the shouts of the on-site commentators, the fanatical Dortmund fans let out deafening cheers.

　　After conceding the goal, the Wolfsburg players calmed down, stabilized their defense, and then began a limited counterattack.

　　"After the fierce attack in the opening stage, Dortmund's players obviously couldn't keep up with their physical strength, and they began to shrink back. Now it's Wolfsburg's turn."

　　Just when the Wolfsburg players on the field were preparing to use offense to reverse the unfavorable situation at the beginning, an accident happened at this time
