Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen are two neighboring cities.

The home stadiums of the two teams in the two cities, Dortmund and Schalke 04, are only 30 kilometers apart.

The game between the two teams is called the ancestor of the German derby, and the feud between the two teams has a long history.

The most interesting thing is that in Gelsenkirchen, there is an unwritten rule that it is best not to have yellow buildings.

The two most popular games in history took place in the 1969-70 season, and the first round of the two teams was held in Dortmund. In the football games of that era, there was no such beautiful stadium and such standardized stands as now.

Fans crowded outside the sidelines and behind the goal to watch the game. Even if the players wanted to take a corner kick or a throw-in, the fans had to make way first.

In the 1969-70 season, Dortmund's security guards who maintained order patrolled the field with dogs. In the 37th minute of the game, an accident happened.

Schalke 04 scored first. After the goal, the excited Schalke fans rushed directly onto the field and hugged the players who scored.

The security guard on the scene brought a dog to maintain order. In a panic, the dog bit the buttocks of Schalke 04 player Laws.

This made Schalke fans completely hate him. When the second round was played at Schalke 04's home stadium, Schalke directly brought a lion to patrol the field.

You use dogs to guard the house, I use lions to guard the field.

These two games intensified the atmosphere of confrontation between the two teams and fans, which was actually extended from the confrontation between the two cities.

The real climax of the Ruhr derby began when Schalke 04 returned to the Bundesliga after being relegated.

After that, there was a saying among fans that winning the Ruhr derby is winning the championship.

They can allow Bayern to win 100 salad bowls, but never allow their opponents to win themselves.

The most interesting thing is that Klopp once said that he didn't need to mobilize the players before the Ruhr derby.

On the field, the players of both sides will burst out with extraordinary strength and have the best performance.

In the two weeks before the Ruhr derby, the German media didn't need to find any gimmicks at all, they just needed to report the news before the two teams.

Because at this time, it was already the time for the Ruhr derby, and no one paid attention to other news.

In this game, Reus' absence made Dortmund a team that was criticized before the game.

No matter how well Dortmund performed this season, if the core players were injured, they would not be able to win this game.

After the players from both sides stood on the court, the fans from the north and south stands lit yellow fireworks symbolizing Dortmund and blue fireworks symbolizing Schalke 04.

The fans kept cheering for their home team and singing their respective team songs. The smoke of the Ruhr derby was about to begin.

The German commentator Brown and his new partner Blake, who represented Schalke 04, did not interact at all.

Although they were sitting in the same live broadcast room, they were frantically explaining the situation of their respective home teams.

At this time, Mi Yuan on the field had already signaled his teammates behind him that he wanted to grab the start.

He was ready to start, his eyes were extremely firm, and he completely ignored the chaos on the scene, just waiting for the referee's whistle to sound and rushing to the front court.

Mi Yuan's decision surprised Hummels a little, but as long as he wanted to do this, of course he had to cooperate.

If Yvonne Müller can really get the start, the pressure will naturally be on Schalke 04.

Beep!

The referee Blich finally blew the whistle to start the game. Aubameyang passed the ball directly back to the backcourt and handed it to Hummels.

At the same time, Yvonne Müller on the left had already rushed out and headed straight for the front of the penalty area.

After Hummels received the ball, he made a slight adjustment and made a very concealed long pass to the frontcourt. Yvonne Müller ran while looking back to observe the trajectory of the ball.

The forward midfielders and backcourt players of Schalke 04 found that the ball was not on the right line and immediately retreated quickly.

They did not expect Dortmund to do this at the beginning of the game. They did not want to lose the ball at the beginning.

Matip reacted the fastest. While retreating and chasing after Yvonne Müller who had just passed by his side, he waved to his teammates to quickly return to defense.

But they had already lost the initiative. Yvonne Müller's speed of running without the ball was not slow at all.

Fellman saw the ball flying into the penalty area and immediately attacked quickly, determined to save the ball before Yvonne Müller touched it.

When Mi Yuan saw the football begin to fall, he took two quick steps and jumped high.

He knew that if he wanted to wait for the ball to bounce off the ground before shooting, he would definitely miss this opportunity. In order to complete the task, he had to try his best.

The pursuers behind him were almost catching up, and the opponent's goalkeeper also abandoned the goal. He only had this one chance and he had to head the ball.

He was still very confident in his heading ability, not only because of the height of his jump, but also because of the strong jumping ability he had now trained.

The fans in the north and south stands stood up at this time, watching the court closely.

In the live commentary room, Brown shouted excitedly,"Jump up, jump up!"

"Can he head the ball?"

In Lu Ming's live studio, he clenched his fists, controlled his emotions, and said to the microphone

"Is Miyuan jumping up to shoot directly?"

On the sidelines, the head coaches of both teams stood on the sidelines. The two head coaches' movements were surprisingly consistent, with their necks stretched out like giraffes, their eyes fixed on the jumping Miyuan and the falling football.

Breitenreiter's expression was very solemn. He didn't want such a scene to happen in the first derby after taking office.

This would become a shame in his coaching career. Before the game, he vowed that he would win this game and end Dortmund's winning streak.

Tuchel was surprised. He didn't arrange too many tactics before the game, nor did he ask the players to rush to the start.

He wanted stability, at least to test it out first, and then use the speed of Miyuan and Aubameyang to attack the opponent's defense.

They have excellent high center backs like Matip, but Dortmund's defense is not weak either, with Hummels and the old oiler Parma. Pastassopoulos had no problem defending the opponent's attack.

Mi Yuan's attack this time really surprised and delighted him.

He knew that Mi Yuan had grown very fast recently and his height had increased by another centimeter.

But that was all off the court, and there was no such hot and depressing atmosphere on the scene.

Mi Yuan's jump made him look forward to Mi Yuan's performance in this game and what kind of surprise Mi Yuan would bring him.

It seemed slow, but on the court, the football was less than 10 centimeters away from Mi Yuan's head.

It only took one second for Mi Yuan to hit the football.

The attacking goalkeeper Feldman was still two meters away from Mi Yuan. It was too late for him to jump at this time, and he began to consider whether to retreat and stop where he was.

Matip and Neustadt, who caught up, also changed direction and rushed towards the goal.

Just when Mi Yuan was about to touch the football, the whole audience exclaimed.
