Chapter 63 The Eve of the Storm in Westphalia
When Aubameyang's equalizing goal silenced the arrogant chants at Camp Nou, a media storm sweeping across Europe had only just begun.
1-1! An away goal!
The eyes of the world are focused on Westvalon, awaiting the ultimate battle of "the new king's ascension to the throne or the old king's defense of his crown."
……
The night before the second leg, in the press conference room of Dortmund.
The flashbulbs went off wildly, illuminating the entire press conference hall as bright as day.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique maintained his defiant expression. When faced with reporters' questions, his tone was calm, yet filled with undeniable confidence.
"I know this is Westphalia, I know their fans are crazy." He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, "But football, in the end, comes down to who controls the ball better and who has more patience. A 1-1 score gives us enough patience."
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Everyone understood his subtext—we'll slow down the game with possession, and an away goal will be enough to kill you.
In another press conference room, Klopp heard the reporter's account.
He didn't respond directly, but instead grinned, revealing his signature, slightly manic smile.
"Patience? Very good." Klopp's answer stunned everyone.
"The word 'patience' has never been part of our Dortmund football."
He leaned forward slightly, staring at the camera below the stage, and said, word by word:
"All we have is speed and chaos."
……
The next morning, a freshly printed copy of Kicker was delivered to Enrique's table outside his hotel in Barcelona.
The front page headline, in bold boldface, announced Barcelona's possible starting lineup.
[A double meat grinder! Enrique's tactical gamble! Mascherano replaces Xavi, forming a double pivot with Busquets in midfield, aiming to completely shut down Dortmund's counter-attacking space!]
Enrique looked at the prediction, which was almost identical to his own tactical plan, and his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Yes, that's his answer. He's going to use two of the smartest defensive midfielders on the planet to build a midfield cage that's even more solid and suffocating than Camp Nou!
He wants to completely extinguish Dortmund's lightning speed at the starting line!
……
At the same time, in Dortmund's tactical analysis room.
The atmosphere, however, was unusually calm.
Klopp stood in front of the tactics board, his face showing no sign of tension, but rather an extreme excitement before a major battle.
"Gentlemen, as we expected, the Spanish want to wrestle with us in midfield."
Klopp used a marker to draw two large red crosses in the midfield position on the Barcelona formation diagram.
"They want to use two defensive midfielders; they're trying to steal a promotion spot in an ugly way."
He stopped and his gaze swept across the faces of each of his disciples.
"Are they trying to strangle us in midfield?"
Klopp's lips slowly curled into an incredibly crazy, gambler-like smile.
"Alright!"
He picked up another pen and made an adjustment that left everyone speechless!
"Let's turn the midfield into a hellish gladiatorial arena! Sven (Bender)! Move forward! Go and team up with Ilkay (Gundogan)! I don't care what methods you use—tackling, charging, biting! Keep their two defensive midfielders pinned down!"
Om-!
A chorus of barely suppressed gasps filled the entire tactics room!
Using your own defensive midfielder and playmaker to trade one-for-one with the opponent's two defensive midfielders?!
This is absolutely insane!
"Coach..." Captain Kyle couldn't help but stand up, his voice filled with worry, "Then our midfield... is empty!"
"That's right! We need to leave the mid lane open!" Klopp's voice suddenly rose, filled with undeniable dominance! "They want to strangle our mid lane, then we'll completely abandon the mid lane!"
He used a pen to draw two powerful arrows on the sides of the tactics board!
"The outcome of this match won't be decided in midfield, but on the flanks!"
"Qin! Marco (Reus)!"
The two people whose names were called immediately stood up straight!
"I want you two to use your speed to repeatedly attack the space behind their two defensive midfielders! Go one-on-one with their full-backs! Turn their defense upside down!"
"This will be a high-stakes gamble! A gamble... on who can wield the fastest knife!"
Klopp surveyed his players, and Reus's eyes instantly sharpened, filled with a burning desire for the final battle. Qin Feng, meanwhile, kept his head down, his mind racing, considering how to maximize the effectiveness of this tactic.
"Now, tell me!" Klopp's gaze finally settled on Qin Feng. "Do you dare to bet?!"
Qin Feng raised his head, met everyone's gaze, and grinned.
"Coach, the word 'patience' has never been in my dictionary."
……
On the night of the match.
Night had already fallen, but the entire city of Dortmund was as bright as day.
As the Barcelona team bus slowly drove into the players' tunnel, they were greeted by a deafening chorus of boos and middle fingers from the players who had been waiting there.
The moment the players from both teams walked out of the tunnel and stepped onto the grass.
From the South Stand, the world-famous "yellow human wall" suddenly erupted with a roar powerful enough to tear the sky apart!
They unfurled a massive Tifo that covered the entire stands, a spectacle worthy of being recorded in history.
On the screen, a yellow lightning bolt, emanating from Qin Feng and crackling with thunder, crashed down from the heavens, cleaving the red and blue Barcelona team emblem in two!
Below that was a giant banner brimming with German arrogance and fighting spirit:
"Welcome to the Yellow Hell!"
Lionel Messi has stepped into this legendary, intimidating stadium.
He raised his head and looked up at the surging, yellow human wall that was booing him loudly. For the first time, a serious expression appeared on his usually calm face.
