349 Westfalenstadion

Soon countless England fans flocked to Germany. .suimeng. Baidu search:

Influx of Dortmund.

The UEFA Cup final will be played at Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.

In terms of history, this stadium is completely inferior to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Stamford Bridge Stadium is a century-old stadium with a very long history.Even if it is placed in the world, Stamford Bridge Stadium can be ranked first.

But the history of the Westfalenstadion is about 30 years.This stadium was prepared to be built by Dortmund in the 60s.

It's a pity that they have been short of money, so they have not been able to build it.I have been dawdling for more than ten years, but there is no way.

Then it was good luck.

When Germany hosted the World Cup in 1974, Cologne, the city originally scheduled to host the World Cup, withdrew from the host city due to funding problems.It's also cheaper for Dortmund.

Dortmund, as a reserve city, replaced Cologne as another city to host the World Cup.

Therefore, a lot of funds originally planned to be invested in Cologne were transferred to Dortmund.

It was with this money that Dortmund built a stadium.When the stadium was built, although there was government funds, it was still very difficult to build a stadium.

So they had no choice but to abandon their original plan to build a modern stadium with 6 people, and quickly built a stadium in a year.

Compared with the planned stadium, it can be said to be much worse.

But Dortmund built a stadium after all.

This is the Westfalenstadion.

Don't look at the short history of this stadium.

There are many memories of the stadium.

Just two years after its construction, the Westfalenstadion hosted the 1974 World Cup.Although the subsequent semi-finals and finals were not held in this stadium.But as a stadium that has just been built for two years, it is still very proud to be able to host the World Cup.

Even Dortmund was in the German Bundesliga at the time.Therefore, it was the only World Cup held in the stadium of the second-level league in the World Cup that year.

The German team was strong that year.

The German team led by football emperor Franz Beckenbauer defeated the prosperous Dutch team and became the World Cup champion.

Of course, the Westfalenstadion at that time could only accommodate more than 5 people.

If it was only like this, he would not be as famous as he is now.

The Westfalenstadion has since been expanded several times.

Up to now, the capacity of this stadium has reached 8000 people, which of course includes seats and standing seats.Once an international competition is held, the entire South Stand can be converted into seats quickly (within two days), with a total capacity of 52000 people.

After years of expansion, the appearance of the Westfalenstadion has a very modern style: the outer wall on the north side of the stadium adopts an all-steel structure frame to hang an aluminum alloy glass curtain wall.

The current Westfalenstadion is a very luxurious stadium in Germany and even in the entire European football world.

Otherwise, the UEFA Cup final will not be held in this stadium this time.

UEFA Cup final?

This is the first time Su Yun has entered the final of a European level competition.

Su Yun has already won the League Cup and the FA Cup this season.very happy.

But in Sunderland, Suyun has already won these two championships.

Su Yun's performance in cup competitions has always been good.

One of the biggest reasons why Su Yun was favored by Sunderland from the English C League was Su Yun's outstanding performance in domestic cup competitions.Just like the first time Su Yun entered the eyes of English football people, it was because he led a team in the English League C to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

But these are limited to England's domestic football.

Su Yun's goal is not to play a few cup games in England.Because in the whole of Europe, there are many coaches like Su Yun.

In Germany, Italy, Spain, including England, in the past ten years, I don’t know how many head coaches who have won domestic mixed cups but quickly disappeared.Su Yun is unwilling to do this.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yun originally liked Sunderland very much.

But for a higher goal, Su Yun chose to leave Sunderland.Cooperate with Ken Bates, whom Su Yun doesn't like very much.

The first season was a success.

Not only won two domestic cup championships in a row, but also entered the UEFA Cup final.

Su Yun was still very excited.

As long as he wins the UEFA Cup, he can be regarded as the number one coach in Europe.

…………

"Sue, how does the beer taste?"

Clark looked at Su Yun with a bottle of beer in the room and asked with a smile.

Not much attention has been paid to Dortmund Suyun.

After all, the two teams are not in the same league.Moreover, Su Yun did not have the opportunity to play in Europe before, so he did not have the chance to meet Dortmund.I just heard that Dortmund fans are crazy.

I heard that Dortmund's home atmosphere is very good.

This is Su Yun's first visit to Dortmund.

Not only does he not know much about Dortmund Football Club, but he also doesn't know much about Su Yun, the city of Dortmund.

The most is to know that Dortmund is a strong team in German football and won the Champions League just a few years ago.

So after knowing that this final was held at the Westfalenstadion, I simply looked at the history of Dortmund.Only then did I know that steel and beer are Dortmund's traditional industries.Up to now, beer occupies a very important position in Dortmund.

Su Yun was also curious.After all, when you arrive at a place, you should take a look and try the local specialties, right?So I ordered a bottle of beer to try it out.

Wanted to see what's different about Dortmund's beer.

Is it much better than domestic beer?

But after tasting it, I realized that the beers all over the world are similar.

Definitely not as good as liquor.

"So-so. I don't think there is anything good to drink. I don't know why so many people like beer?"

Su Yun didn't quite understand.

I have no love for beer since I was a child.Su Yun still likes to drink baijiu.Drinking white wine will have a mellow aroma.

"Me too. I don't like beer either, I prefer baijiu."

Su Yun smiled.

There is basically no English player who doesn't like drinking.

This is especially true for players of Clark's generation.I don't know how many alcoholic players of their generation have come out.There were even players who got drunk at half-time and played the second half.

Just like Arsenal's Adams now.

If you just look at his current performance, you will think how self-disciplined he is.

In fact, he was also an alcoholic when he was young.

In his autobiography, he stated that he was dying at the time and was on the verge of retiring.It was because of Wenger's taking over that he helped him quit drinking, and Adams had so many years of glory.

"Hehe. How is it? What's your impression of Dortmund?"

Su Yun shrugged.

"I didn't look carefully, so I couldn't say anything." Because of the tight schedule, I flew to Germany the next day after finishing the FA Cup final.But it was just to take a break and get familiar with the Westfalenstadion, and two days passed.

"By the way, Steve. Are you familiar with German football?".

There was still some time before the game, so Su Yun asked Clark.Just to kill some time.

Although Su Yun has been in Europe for the sixth year, his understanding of German football is definitely not as good as that of Clark and the others.Because after so many years, Su Yun has spent half of his time in low-level leagues.

After arriving in the Premier League, he was also busy working hard in the Premier League.

There is simply no chance to learn about football development in other countries.

It can be said that sometimes a professional coach like Su Yun doesn't know as much about some foreign clubs as some fans do.this is the truth.

"I can't even talk about understanding. You should know that German football pays attention to discipline. But there is one thing that may be similar to English football. Some people say that the German lower league is an athletics competition. From the beginning of the game, they know how to move forward. , forward, forward. Run, run, run."

Clark saw that Su Yun still had time to chat with him about such things, and knew that Su Yun was in a relatively relaxed mood now.

So he also chatted with Su Yun with a smile.

"And it's the same with some of the weaker Bundesliga teams. They run the whole game and keep going."

Su Yun listened and nodded.

Yes, it has some similarities with English football.

Of course, it was just that Su Yun had nothing to do, and the two sat together to brag.

time flies.

The UEFA Cup final was held at 07:30 local time in Germany.

Two hours before the game, Su Yun had already led the team to the Westfalenstadion.

It is indeed more luxurious than Stamford Bridge.

Like the FA Cup match, the stadium is surrounded by fans of the two teams.This time the Westfalenstadion only sold [-] tickets.

Because the German side is more nervous about security issues.

In the game three days ago, although there was no conflict, the head coach of one side went to the hospital.

Who knows what the fans think?

Some extreme Chelsea fans even ridiculed Houllier online that he couldn't afford to lose.

This also made many Liverpool fans dissatisfied.

Conflict among fans online is serious.

For safety reasons, Dortmund strictly controls tickets.

Chelsea's bus was the first to arrive at the stadium.

Thousands of Chelsea fans are waiting for the arrival of the team.After seeing the Chelsea bus, they quickly surrounded it.

Su Yun was still the first to go down.

There was a huge cheer from the Chelsea fans when the doors of the bus opened and Su Yun stepped down.Su Yun is definitely a coach who can make a fortune in Chelsea's history.

In Chelsea's [-]-year history, domestic honors include only one top champion, two FA Cup champions, and two League Cup champions.

In Su Yun's first season as coach, he brought Chelsea an FA Cup and a League Cup.

How can fans of such a coach not like it.

"Woooooo-"

"Sue! Sue! Sue!"

"Champion! Champion! We want champions!"
