After the game against Dusseldorf, the whole Dortmund team rushed back to their base camp overnight. Fortunately, Dusseldorf was not too far from Dortmund.

After returning to Dortmund, Klopp announced the dissolution of the team. These players who participated in the match against Düsseldorf will not be used to train tomorrow morning. They can sleep in and take a break at home, and then come to the team for training in the afternoon.

On Monday, their team will fly to Madrid to prepare for the second leg of the semi-finals.

Some people think that the game is just a simple matter, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as everyone imagines...

Before the game, Madrid's media had already started a general mobilization, calling on fans to support Real Madrid on the propaganda position for two consecutive days, and what they said was quite horrifying.

"...Real Madrid has reached its most critical moment, and it is time to show our love for the team!"

"Let us unite, leave all prejudices behind, and fight to the last minute at the Bernabeu!"

"The team needs us! Any wavering and retreating at this time is no different from surrender and defection!"

"Go to the Bernabeu! Turn there into hell!! Use our passion to melt the stubborn stones and turn them into rolling lava!"

"This is the final! This is the final! We want to treat this game like we do in the final. The players must do their best on the court. Similarly, we fans should no longer be like gentlemen in the stands!"

...

There are also media listing various historically successful reversal cases to cheer Real Madrid fans and teams up.

The most mentioned is naturally the miracle of A Coruna back then.

In the 2004 Champions League quarterfinals, La Coruña challenged AC Milan away in the first leg, but lost 1:4. At that time, everyone thought La Coruña had been eliminated, and there was no suspense in the second leg.

As a result, La Coruna, who answered his home court, eliminated AC Milan, who was sleepwalking with a total score of 4:0 with a total score of 5:4.

Some media even specially found La Coruña Uruguay striker Pandiani, who performed well in that game at the time, and asked him to give him a move for Real Madrid's reversal.

Pandiani said that if Real Madrid wants to reverse Dortmund at their home court, then the first thing they need to do is to play Dortmund without a firm foothold and strive to score as soon as possible at the beginning of the game. As long as there is a goal, the remaining games will be much easier, and the mentality of the players on both sides will undergo some subtle changes, and these changes will have a direct impact on the game.

In addition, the referee of this game has also attracted much attention.

The Madrid media naturally hopes that there will be a referee who is beneficial to Real Madrid to enforce the law. It is not that the referee will really favor Real Madrid, but that some probability can be drawn from his historical data on Real Madrid's matches.

According to UEFA, the referee for law enforcement will be Howard Webber, the Golden Whistle of England.

This candidate complicated the feelings between Real Madrid fans and the media.

First of all, as a referee who has enforced the Champions League finals and World Cup finals, Weber is of course at a high level, but sometimes he makes some inexplicable mistakes.

For example, when he enforced the 2010 World Cup final, there was an obvious controversial penalty in the game. At that time, the Dutch national team's midfielder De Jong kicked and kicked Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso in the chest. This was a very bad foul, but Weber only gave De Jong a yellow card, allowing him to stay on the court. After the game, Weber himself admitted that he should have sent De Jong a red card at that time. Fortunately, Spain finally won the World Cup championship. If Spain loses the game, the controversial penalty will have to be said carefully after the game.

Madrid media made a statistics on the matches related to Weber's law enforcement and Real Madrid. Before this game, he had enforced Real Madrid's three matches. Real Madrid's results were one win, one draw and one loss, which was a very average result. Two of these games were matches with German teams.

Weber's first game in law enforcement for Real Madrid was the 2007-2008 Champions League group stage, with Real Madrid defeating Werder Bremen 2:1 at home.

Another match related to Germany was the Champions League semi-final last season, with Real Madrid losing 1:2 away to Bayern Munich.

If you have to make a analysis, it can be said that in the match between Real Madrid and German teams under Weber's law enforcement, as long as Real Madrid faces German teams at home, they will win.

But in fact, this kind of analysis is meaningless because there is too little data and it lacks persuasiveness.

Moreover, in the away game between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich last season, Weber also had a controversial penalty - when Ribery opened the first record for Bayern Munich, Gustavo affected Casillas in the offside position, but Weber insisted that the penalty goal was valid.

If we look at it this way, Weber's law enforcement game may not be good news for Real Madrid.

But the media still need to find something that is beneficial to Real Madrid to encourage the team and fans.

In Real Madrid, then look for people related to Real Madrid.

The media really found out that the media found that for the current land coach of Real Madrid, Mourinho, Weber should be an old acquaintance. When Mourinho coached Chelsea, he had a lot of dealing with Weber. When Inter Milan played against Bayern Munich in the 2010 Champions League final, it was Howard Weber who enforced the law. In that game, Mourinho's team beat Bayern Munich 2-0 easily, and the Portuguese coach won his second Champions League championship in his personal coaching career.

In this sense, Weber seems to be Mourinho's "lucky star".

And there is another thing that can be used to testify that the two seem to have a good relationship - it was the 1-2 loss to Bayern Munich last season. Although Weber had a controversial penalty in the game, Mourinho chose to defend the British referee after the game: "This ball is obviously offside, but it is normal for the referee to make such a mistake. I will not criticize anyone."

This is very rare for Mourinho, who has always been harsh on the referee.

So if Webber and Mourinho have a very good personal relationship, then maybe he will intentionally or unintentionally lean towards Real Madrid in the game? If that is the case, it will be a major benefit for Real Madrid.

In addition, Madrid media also found that Weber is actually a "lucky star" for Espanyol. The South African World Cup final was the first time in Spain's history to win the World Cup championship, and the law enforcement referee of that game was Weber.

Of course, not everyone thinks Webber's law enforcement Real Madrid game is a good thing for Real Madrid.

First of all, he often makes some inexplicable mistakes and some controversial penalty in the game. Real Madrid was cheated by Weber last season, and no one will guarantee that everything will go smoothly this time.

In addition, everyone knows that Weber is a supporter of Manchester United. Mourinho's main opponent was Manchester United during his coaching Chelsea. At the same time, in the quarterfinals of this season, Real Madrid had just eliminated Manchester United...

On April 29, the whole Dortmund team arrived in Madrid by plane.

At the airport, the team members had to face many reporters and the problems they raised.

Some people chose to keep silent, some chose to be perfunctory, but Zhou Yi stopped and took the initiative to cooperate.

So the reporters quickly surrounded him and separated him from his other teammates.

Everyone threw the questions they prepared toward Zhou Yi.

Facing the influx of reporters and the questions they asked, Zhou Yi remained calm and replied with a smile: "How do you feel about Madrid? To be honest, I don't want to come anymore. We have been here too many times this season, ha!"

After he said this, the reporters laughed.

That's true. In the group stage, Dortmund and Real Madrid were assigned to a group, so the team came to Madrid once in the group stage. Then in the quarter-finals, Dortmund met Atletico Madrid, and another Madrid team. So they came again. Now in the semi-finals, they met Real Madrid again. In this way, Madrid came three times in one season...

"So what do you think about the next game? There are voices from the outside world saying that this game is just a formality for Dortmund..."

Zhou Yi interrupted the opponent and shook his head and said, "No, no, no. How could it be a form? Scoring three goals in one game is not difficult for Real Madrid. If we think that this game is just a form, I am afraid that we will get out of the Champions League in the end."

A Chinese reporter asked: "There are media in Madrid using the match between La Coruña and AC Milan that year as an example, believing that Real Madrid still has the possibility of a comeback..."

"Of course, even the probability of 0.00 is still possible. So we won't take it lightly. We are not AC Milan... In addition, I think the media are too unfriendly to AC Milan. When it comes to reversing miracles, they will use AC Milan as an example, such as Istanbul miracle, and the miracle of Coruña... Really, I, who are not AC Milan fans, can't stand it anymore!" Zhou Yi joked.

"Marca" calls on Real Madrid fans to turn the Bernabeu into hell..."

"That's good. We spent half of our season playing at home at the hell level, so this feeling is so familiar. If the Bernabeu really becomes hell, I think that will help us perform."

On the one hand, he said that he would not underestimate the enemy, and on the other hand, Zhou Yi showed great confidence.

Although Zhou Yi did not participate much in verbal battles before the game, he would take advantage of the other party every time he participated. This is also his ability.

A reporter once sighed that if Zhou Yi was keen on verbal battles, I'm afraid few people in football could have done him... Everyone had seen this during the Olympics last year.

But unfortunately, Zhou Yi’s “big killer” mouth does not open fire easily, otherwise the media practitioners would be like the New Year every day…
