Chapter 158
The most eye-catching person in the whole stadium was Emma. He waved to every player mischievously, and shuttled between the fans and players who were taking photos, trying to grab the spotlight.
When Emma's big head moved close to Dembele, the latter unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pushed his big head, causing laughter at the scene.
All this did not take too long, and they got on the bus that had been waiting outside.
Although Mi Yuan came out the latest, he was one of the first players to get on the bus.
The air-conditioning on the bus was turned on very high, which relieved a lot of the heat outside.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Reus was the last to get on the bus.
He can be said to be the most popular player in Dortmund, and he was signing autographs and taking photos until the end.
Sahin, Schmelzer, and Weidenfeller are also very popular, but they are far behind Reus.
Mei Yangyang sat next to Mi Yuan, fanning himself, and asked in confusion
"You don't seem to be very popular with the fans?"
Mi Yuan smiled bitterly, and did not answer, but looked out the window silently.
He expected such a result. In last year's big drama, there were many fans who supported him, but there were more who didn't like him.
He was just doing what he liked, and it would be a lie to say that he was not depressed to be treated like this.
After Royce got in the car, he questioned Mi Yuan dissatisfiedly.
"Boy, what exactly did you teach us?"
Mi Yuan was brought back to his senses by Royce's shout. His eyes curved into a crescent and he said with a grin,"Have you eaten?"
"I asked, that's not what you meant!"
"Haha, that's hello, but hello from the Beijing circle!"
Reus was confused and felt something was wrong, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
The bus started slowly, left the airport, and headed for a hotel near the Shanghai Stadium.
The bus was specially decorated to welcome Dortmund, and the body of the bus was sprayed with bilingual words: Enjoy the craze of football!
At first, the players didn't feel anything, but when they saw the high-rise buildings everywhere and the endless stream of cars, the players were completely attracted by the prosperity of Shanghai.
They all came to Daxia for the first time. After getting used to the life in Europe, they saw this extremely modern and prosperous city, and their mouths opened wide. Daxia is a desert of football. Daxia's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, but they had no experience and didn't expect that Daxia's city would be built so well.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the players, Mi Yuan closed his eyes directly.
He didn't want to waste his saliva to be a tour guide for everyone. With professionals around, he still had to adjust to the jet lag.
When passing by the headquarters of Pudong Bank in Shanghai (formerly the headquarters of HSBC), he saw this When they saw a building with Western characteristics, all the players exclaimed.
They didn't expect to see such a building with Western classical characteristics in Daxia, which made them feel particularly cordial.
No one even went to see the scenery of the Bund on the other side, and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
After arriving at the hotel, there were only some well-informed fans waiting for autographs and photos.
The scene was much quieter than the airport. The players took their luggage, interacted with the fans, and entered the hotel.
After a short rest, they will go to the stadium for public pre-match training.
Tuchel is preparing to be interviewed by reporters. This time he will take Schmelzer to the press conference.
Reus's identity this time is a staff member of the same team. After all, he cannot play in the game.
This day is also the day when Gotze returns. After leaving Dortmund for three years, he has renewed his contract with Dortmund until June 30, 2020. He will return to the team for training in August.
Going to the press conference, Zorc told Tuchel an unfortunate news.
"Thomas, there were some unexpected things during this summer trip. Some of Aki's comments during the interview caused dissatisfaction among fans. When you are interviewed later, you should pay attention to this."
"What's going on?"
Zorke explained briefly, and Tuchel frowned and nodded.
But their worries were completely unnecessary. All questions from reporters interviewing on the spot would be strictly reviewed, and no one asked overly sensitive questions.
The main issue was who would be the new captain of the team in the new season, as Reus would miss many of the upcoming games.
In addition, reporters wanted to know Tuchel's opinion on Gotze's return home.
Tuchel said:"The choice of captain is difficult. It could be Schmelzer, Sven Bender, or Sahin. Dortmund has too many excellent players and they need to consider it as a whole."
Regarding Gotze's return, Tuchel said:"I'm glad he's home, and I'm looking forward to his first training session!"
The press conference went very smoothly. Tuchel had no time to rest at all and led the team to the stadium for training.
The game against Manchester United is at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. This warm-up is mainly to adapt to the venue.
The temperature in Shanghai in July is very hot. The players who were training on the field heard the fans shouting BVB! BVB! BVB!
Although the physical burden was very heavy, they still trained seriously with the most professional attitude.
With a high temperature of 39 degrees, the players set out for the stadium in the afternoon for the final pre-match training.
Outside the hotel were fans waiting in the high temperature. When the players saw such enthusiastic fans, they stopped to sign for them.
Mi Yuan finally heard someone calling his name. He stopped, looked at the sweaty fans holding his jersey, and strode forward.
"It's so hot, make sure you stay hydrated!"
As he spoke, he took out a pack of tissues and handed it to the fan, and quickly signed his name on the jersey.
The fan was so excited that he couldn't bear to use the tissues. He lifted up his clothes and roughly wiped the sweat off his head, then raised his phone to take a photo.
Seeing that Mi Yuan was so easy-going, other fans also called out to Mi Yuan for his autograph.
Mi Yuan signed and greeted them. He had no tissues on him anymore, so it can only be said that the first person to try something new is always the luckiest.
Mi Yuan's humility was also recognized by the fans, who began to get to know this young player from Daxia again.
Dortmund's players were not used to the high temperature in the Magic City, and they only recovered after getting on the bus and enjoying the air conditioning.
When the bus arrived at the stadium, the players changed their clothes and started their final pre-match training.
Dortmund and Manchester United The training times are staggered. Compared with Dortmund's seriousness, Manchester United seems a little loose.
As the game time is getting closer, fans of both sides begin to enter the stadium. Emma and Manchester United's mascot Pok interact with each other on the sidelines, making the fans laugh.
However, there are less than 40,000 fans in the 50,000-seat Magic City Stadium, most of whom are Manchester United fans, and there are only more than 10,000 Dortmund fans.
It can only be said that Waltz's inappropriate remarks have caused considerable losses to the organizers.
Of course, tickets are not the main source of income for the organizers, and the additional benefits are the most.
As the game time is getting closer, players from both sides have appeared in the player tunnel, waiting to play.
Fans from both sides cheered loudly, looking forward to the start of the game.
