Chapter 168: Too Much Snow

After Zhou Yi's long shot was above the crossbar, Dortmund's morale became even stronger. They bombarded Galatasaray's goal, and it was impossible to tell that they were away games at all.

If you continue to play like this, there is no suspense about Dortmund qualifying in the group. It depends on whether it is the first in the group or the second in the group. If Arsenal defeats Napoli away, then Dortmund will be the second in the group. If Arsenal loses to Napoli away, no matter how many goals they lose, no matter whether Arsenal or Napoli finally qualifies in the group, Dortmund will be the first in the group.

Klopp also took the time to pay attention to the situation of the match between Arsenal and Napoli.

There is still 0:0.

The atmosphere on the court was very warm, with Dortmund's offensive wave after wave.

Yan Min ran away for a while. He could no longer feel the cold anymore. The heat from his mouth was covering his face, a little hazy.

But no one noticed that sparse snowflakes began to float in the sky.

Because the snowflakes were indeed very sparse at the beginning, until more and more snowflakes penetrated into the back of people's necks, everyone moved their eyes away from the court, looked up at the night sky, and then a piece of cold snowflakes floated into their eyes, which scared people quickly closed their eyes.

But people just raised their heads, and their attention was still on the game.

The weather forecast says there was snow today, and it didn't fall for a day, and it finally started to fall at night. It was not too strange.

It's December now, isn't it normal for snow to fall?

But soon, the situation became different from what people thought.

In a very short time, the sparse snowflakes fell on the ground turned into heavy snow.

At the beginning, both players on the court were completely unknown. Especially Dortmund players, they were still immersed in the passion of besieging Galatasaray, completely ignoring the changes in the surrounding environment.

It was not until they found it difficult to find football on the court that they realized that the green stadium had turned into snow-white!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, the referee also signaled to change to an orange snow football on the sidelines.

"The referee signaled to change the ball. This snow suddenly came and it filled the court in a very short time... I don't know what impact it will have on this game..."

※※※

Snow battles are not a rare thing for both players. Especially Dortmund, they are located in the northwest of Germany and have heavy snow every winter. Germany's dimension is about the same as China's Northeast, so every winter, the Bundesliga is indispensable to playing in the snow.

It's just a different color football, it's no big deal.

After changing the football, Dortmund's players re-entered the game.

They feel that they are one step away from scoring the goal. As long as they can score another goal, they can lock in the victory of the game.

The orange football is very eye-catching in the white snow, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find the ball now.

But the game still didn't go on for long...

※※※

On the snow, Yan Min could hardly play out his speed advantage and dribbling advantage. After he got the ball, he could only pass the football, which made him a little unhappy.

So he looked up at the night sky, then cursed in a low voice: "This fucking weather!"

Before he finished speaking, something suddenly hit his forehead. He covered his forehead in pain. He looked down and saw an ice lump lying in the snow...

Yan Min was stunned for a moment, and then reflected on the hail coming!

Soon, more and more players also noticed this situation. Some people blocked their heads with their hands to avoid being hit by hail, so that they could not play at all.

So the referee suspended the game and asked the players to retreat to the passage to avoid it temporarily, including players and coaches on both sides on the bench.

The passage suddenly seemed very crowded, and the players on both sides got together.

The staff of the teams on both sides were busy putting thick sports jackets on the players to prevent them from catching a cold. On such a cold winter night, they only wore light jerseys and had basically no ability to resist the cold wind.

Although the game was interrupted, the players were in good mood. They got together and talked and laughed, and were not affected by the sudden interruption and bad weather.

Many players think that just a few minutes of rest will soon return to the court.

But Zhou Yi frowned. He stood outside the passage, wearing Dortmund's thick coat. Looking at the heavy snow and falling ice lumps outside, he had a premonition that this sudden heavy snow and hail would probably not end in a short time...

The commentators were also caught off guard by this sudden situation.

"This game has only been played for thirty-one minutes, but it was suspended because of heavy snow and hail. This situation is indeed very rare... Dortmund's momentum was very good before this. Who knows how long can they maintain such a good momentum after the game restarts?" He Ping was a little worried. Generally speaking, if the side who played smoothly in the game would be considered a bad omen.

The Turkish commentator who had been weak before cheered: "When Galatasaray was about to be crushed, the game was suspended due to heavy snow, and Trim's team won a chance to breathe!"

Marcel Leif is showing everyone his strong news: "This is not the first time Galatasaray's home game has an unexpected situation in the Champions League. The first two times were related to Juventus. The first time was on November 25, 1998, when Juventus challenged Galatasaray away because Turkish Kurdistan Workers' Party leader Abdullah Ojaran was arrested in Italy, resulting in tension between the two countries. The game was forced to postpone. The game was replayed seven days later, and Juventus finally drew 1-1 with Galatasaray in the away game."

"The second time was in 2003. The match that was supposed to be held in Istanbul on November 25th, but the game was postponed by the terrorist attacks in Istanbul. At that time, there were several explosions in Istanbul, and ten people died and hundreds were injured. The rematch was seven days later, but it was changed to a neutral area. Coincidentally, the neutral venue was Dortmund... Juventus finally defeated Galatasaray 2:0."

The players on both sides waited in the passage for about four minutes.

The referee came in and summoned the head coaches and captains of both sides to negotiate.

"I think you have seen this kind of weather situation. Will the game continue?" the referee asked both sides.

Klopp and the team's captain Kyle looked at each other, and saw each other's thoughts from the other's eyes. If possible, they hoped that the game could continue. Because Dortmund is in a good momentum now and the period is high.

So Klopp said, "Wait a minute, it's only four minutes, and the heavy snow can't stop in a few minutes, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Trim next to him made a clear objection: "The heavy snow cannot stop within a few minutes, nor will it stop within a few dozen minutes. I think that since the weather is so bad, the game should be suspended and then replayed on a date!"

Klopp turned his head and stared at Trim, who just smiled slightly at him.

Klopp cursed "Old Fox" in his heart. How could he not know Trim's wishful thinking?

The current situation is obviously more unfavorable to the home team. Trim hopes that this sudden heavy snow and hail can give Galatasaray a breather and make him readjust. And if the game is temporarily terminated and then postponed, it will also have a great impact on Dortmund's morale.

No one knows what the game will look like after everything starts again, and the variables are too great.

"I don't agree to the rematch on a date." So Klopp directly expressed his opinion.

Trim did not argue with Klopp, but smiled and stopped talking. He turned around and looked at the snowy stadium outside to be trance.

His actions naturally attracted others, especially the referee.

The outside is already a world of snow and ice.

The snow is so heavy that it is almost impossible to see the stands opposite.

If you look closely, you can see that the fans in front of the seats have all squeezed up on it.

Even fools can see that this heavy snow and hail will not stop so short.

The referee made a decision and turned to the two coaches and said: "I'm sorry, it seems that this game will be postponed. I will report to UEFA. When will the game be replayed, please wait for UEFA's notice. Now the two teams can go back to the locker room."

That's it, the game tonight was over.

This critical battle lasted only thirty-one minutes...
Chapter completed!
