Dortmund are playing away from home, and this will be a nightmare match!
at the same time!
Schalke 04 needs points to maintain their top-four position!
Borussia Dortmund also needs points to further narrow the gap with league leaders Bayern Munich!
At the pre-match press conference, Tuchel made it clear that the rankings before the derby were not important, and that the trip to Schalke was all about winning!
When a reporter questioned his decision to rotate so many substitute players.
"Everyone wants the championship, but we have to rotate players!"
"The players' health will determine the final outcome.The team will arrange everything.It's too early to talk about the championship!"
Schalke 04's head coach, Brettenreiter, complained bitterly to the cameras!
"We have many players injured, which will affect the course of the game to some extent."
"The Europa League victory will motivate the Dortmund players; everyone knows it wasn't easy."
But after he finished speaking, he changed the subject.
"Derby matches are very special and highly competitive.Winning is very important to the fans, but we need points more than our opponents!"
"We will be fully prepared to meet the challenges ahead!"
What he said is correct!
Borussia Dortmund wants to win in their pursuit of the Bundesliga title!
Schalke 04 are more interested in securing a top-four Champions League spot through points!
Therefore, this Ruhr derby is sure to be very intense!
When the roster was announced, a South Korean player appeared in Schalke 04's lineup!
Byun Sang-yeop!
(This is a purely fictional character, intended for cathartic purposes only.)
He is hailed as the next Son Heung-min!
As a member of Schalke II, he was just promoted to the first team last month!
His arrival has, to some extent, strengthened Schalke's squad.
This arrangement has also raised high hopes for him within South Korea!
The Bian family has three outstanding young people in this generation!
The eldest daughter, Byun Jung-soo, is the second youngest female prosecutor in South Korean history!
Byun Sang-yeob, a football prodigy, went to Germany for youth training at the age of 12!
Their younger brother, Byun Sang-il, is also the most promising newcomer in the Korean Go world!
Byun Sang-yeob previously stated this in an interview with South Korean media:
"Give me the chance to play, and I won't be afraid of any opponent!"
And so.

On April 10, the entire Borussia Dortmund team arrived in the Schalke region of Gelsenkirchen by car.
Their home stadium was once named "AufSchalke Stadium," but was later renamed due to sponsorship from the Veltins-Arena.
It was officially renamed Veltins-Arena in 2005!
Andy is no stranger to this team.
He can be said to have fought his way up from the second team to the first team!
Undefeated!
It's worth mentioning that only a small number of Dortmund fans lined the roads to welcome them.
Because of a previous brawl, police are not allowing away fans to enter the Ruhr derby.
The fans who come to support their idols from the sidelines are all warriors!
Andy was unaware of the pre-match discussions, and he and his teammates were not allowed to use any social media tools.
But the moment they stepped onto the away pitch.
Andy saw the burning passion in the eyes of the Schalke players!
It looks like we're in for another fierce battle today!

"Beep~~~~~!"
The referee, Zwayer, blew his whistle, and the match officially began!
Schalke 04 took the lead and attacked!
Amidst the deafening cheers of the home fans, the ball was passed to Byun Sang-yeop on the right wing!
Andy had noticed this Asian face long ago!
At first, he thought it was some young Chinese player, but Park Joo-ho said that number 14 was his fellow Korean.
"Another Korean!"
"What?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to eat corn."
Park Joo-ho was completely dumbfounded, inwardly marveling at Andy's incredible appetite.
When Byun Sang-yeob dribbled into Andy's defensive zone!
His face was full of determination!
For this match!
He watched a lot of Andy's game videos!
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
Today he must break through Andy's defense and prove himself!
It is our duty to establish ourselves in the Bundesliga!
Facing Andy, Byun Sang-yeop first kept pulling the ball to the left!
Then I took a bike ride!
Accelerate the breakthrough!
Andy didn't use his feet against these little tricks!
Just follow the other person closely.
Just when the two were very close!
Andy spoke!
"Is your mother that Korean celebrity?"
??
The sudden praise startled Byun Sang-yeop!
He then passed the ball to his teammate.
Andy then added:
"I've seen her movies!They're really amazing!"
"I think it's called 'My Friend's Mom,' right?"
