Before the Champions League match between Olympiacos and Dortmund.
As I entered the ground, I slowly looked around Signal Ardunal Park.
“Borussia! Borussia! Borussia!”
Even though Dortmund was underperforming in the Champions League, the fans’ support was still hot.
‘About 15,000 seats are empty… .’
But strangely enough, my gaze kept wandering towards the empty stands.
Maybe it’s because I’ve always seen the stands packed to the brim. The empty stands feel quite unfamiliar and heartbreaking.
Perhaps it means that Dortmund fans have given up hope for the Champions League.
“Captain, I’m sorry, but can I speak for you?”
I cautiously asked Sebastian Kell to excuse himself from the circle of speakers he was about to speak to.
In fact, it is a rare sight, regardless of whether it is in the East or the West, to see the youngest member of the team interfering with the speaker’s speech in this way.
Even though there may be differences in intensity due to cultural differences, Europe is also a place with its own hierarchical order.
Perhaps, he might have heard a word from Dortmund’s veteran players, including Sebastian Kehl.
Because in some ways, what I’m doing now is damaging the team’s discipline.
But fortunately, Sebastian Kehl, the captain of Dortmund and future sporting director Michael Zorc, looked me in the eye, nodded, and readily gave me the floor.
“Our team’s little captain has something to say on my behalf, so open your ears and listen carefully!”
As soon as Kell finished speaking, the Dortmund players turned their gaze to me.
If he had been a young player, he might have stuttered under the pressure.
But I looked the players in the eye calmly and slowly opened my mouth.
Even though the leagues are different, I too was once the captain of a team.
“Honestly, I don’t mind being eliminated from the Champions League. As everyone knows, I’m young and have a lot of opportunities. But I’m not our captain.”
“… Is this revenge for me calling you Little Captain earlier?”
“Old Captain, keep quiet, our little Captain is speaking.”
The players burst into laughter at the words of Roman Weidenfeller, who is only six months younger than Sebastian Kehl.
“Ahem… .”
I too burst into laughter, then cleared my throat and brought the players back to their focus.
“Last season we won the Bundesliga and announced to all of Germany that Dortmund was back. Right?”
From Robert Lewandowski, who replaced Lucas Barrios as the team’s main striker last season, to Roman Weidenfeller, the last player and Dortmund’s guardian angel, the Dortmund players’ expressions are beginning to show pride in being German champions.
“So this time, let’s let Europe know! Dortmund, the answer to Bayern Munich, is back!”
“It’s about getting Dortmund fans excited for the Champions League! That’s why we’re filling those empty stands again! Heja!”
“BVB!”
The moment when the speech ended and everyone applauded and encouraged each other.
“Gino, but isn’t that an away seat? Are you confused?”
Ivan Perisic said with a strange expression.
‘Ah. So that’s why it wasn’t there.’
Apart from gaining new knowledge, I also silenced Perisic by stepping on his foot, who was not good at reading the mood.
“Ahhh! My foot! Gino you son of a bitch!”
Then, fluent Korean curses could be heard from Perisic’s mouth.
“I said that was a curse word.”
I let out a soft sigh at Perisic’s affectionate insults.
I taught me to teach me in Korean and swearing, and if I found Asians, I approached and said, ‘Hello.’
‘… That bastard.’
No matter how I looked at it, this kid was clearly crazy.
***
[Title: Hey, no matter how many times I hear this, it sounds like a curse word. Did I hear it wrong? Or is there a saying like this in Croatia or Germany?]
(Ivan Perisic, who greeted me warmly when I left the training center, let’s say he’s Korean.avi)
└ Haha …
└ I think it’s Korean? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
└ Why doesn’t it feel like the culprit is being identified? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ You’re making a big deal out of something so obvious, there’s only one Korean player in Dortmund.
└ Oh, you’re taking this so seriously? Don’t you have any friends?
└ This comment has been reported.
└ ㅁㅊ you got stabbed, you’re blowing off the padlip ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Ah haha …
└ But Mario Goetze also cursed last time
└ What the hell are they teaching in Dortmund? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Isn’t this a problem with Son Jin-ho’s personality? He says a lot of good things, so why bother teaching him to curse;;

└ Don’t talk about personality like this. My older brother Perisic and I are best friends. We meet privately and eat together, so close that we do that.
└ I remember those kids who told Ebra to be stupid and talked about Park Ji-song’s personality. F*ck;;
└ You two are close? Something about it doesn’t seem right
└ They say my older brother gave me a nickname first and we became close.
└ Wow ㅋㅋ As expected, our hyung has a different kind of star quality?
└ So what is Perisic’s nickname?
└ Ahh!
└ You son of a bitch, why are you so angry all of a sudden!
└ No, my nickname is Ao-ra ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Look at the swearing right away ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Didn’t you learn the word “netiquette” in school? You’re so rude
└ Oh? Why Oh?
└ If you don’t pass, they say “Ao! Perisic!” or something like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ No lol is that really ‘Ao!’ lol
└ The only Ao I know is Ao! Isora… . There is no one else… .
└ Huh? The game has started.
└ Haha …
└ This is too much… .
└ What was too much was your kid’s joke.
└ Wow! Son Jin-ho passed the test, lol!!
└ Oh! Perisic! Can’t you put that in?
└ Ah! So that’s why my brother called Perisic ‘Ao’. I realized it right away.
└ F*ck ㅋㅋ It’s so funny how Perisic’s popularity in Korean went up and then he got treated as a traitor because he didn’t score a single goal

Olympiacos came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation, just like Dortmund.
In fact, although it is called 4-2-3-1, it is a very defensive tactic closer to 4-4-2.
Unlike Dortmund, who need to win this match to advance to the Champions League last 16, Olympiacos have been well on their way to collecting points in Group F and have no need to rush.
And for Olympiacos, even a single point at Signal Iduna Park, known as the away team’s graveyard, would be a win-win.
Plus, if you’re lucky, you might even win with a counter punch.
In fact, you need to have basic skills to be able to throw that counter punch, but Olympiacos’ status in the Greek league is that of Bayern Munich.
It was a team that had its own strengths that were hard to ignore.
Dortmund figured out Olympiacos’ strategy, but they had no choice but to raise their line.
[Son Jin-ho’s pass! Shinji Kagawa returns it cleanly to Lewandowski with one touch!]
Dortmund pressed Olympiacos hard in an attempt to score the opening goal.
[Lewandowski!! Ah!! Mezzeri goalkeeper’s super save!!]
Lewandowski’s shot was unfortunately blocked by the goalkeeper… .
“Gut! Leva!”
“It’s okay! Just put it in next time!”
Rather than blaming others, Dortmund’s players applauded and encouraged them.
[Ah! Olympiacos! A pass miss has occurred!]
Lewandowski’s forward pressure sends the ball towards Son Jin-ho.
[Son Jin-ho’s shot!! Ah! Unfortunately, it misses the mark.]
Son Jin-ho’s surprise mid-range shot narrowly missed the Olympiacos goal.
[Son Jin-ho, who had risen to the second striker position, takes a shot and then immediately goes back down to defend.]
[Son Jin-ho is showing incredible activity! Defense! Attack! He is literally running all over the field!]
[Before a series of events led to a three-week break, Son Jin-ho was Dortmund’s leading scorer. I hope he scores in this match.]
[Yes. And it is said that due to Son Jin-ho’s playing style and decision-making ability, he is even called the second coming of Rotter Matthäus in Germany.]
The game continues for 35 minutes in the first half.
Son Jin-ho, who received the ball from Mario Gotze, who played as an attacking midfielder, passed the ball to Ivan Perisic, who was coming in from the side.
[Son Jin-ho! Pass the ball to Perisic! Perisic runs quickly!}
[Perisic grounds the ball straight into the cross!]
enN1WnIzcFhHMVJuR0JvdkNPc013MWhza3N6ak1sajVnVVJvWUNITFNja3A5alkydWJnZk5mbzhmQUJvS1JLZA
The moment when Perisic’s ground cross was expected to be cleared by an Olympiacos defender.
[Wow, it went in! Son Jin-ho scores his second goal in the Champions League!! Dortmund succeeds in scoring a dramatic goal!!]
Son Jin-ho, who suddenly appeared, successfully shook the Olympiacos goal net by touching the ball just before the defender could kick it away.
[Son Jin-ho takes advantage of the gap in the Olympiacos players’ attention to Ivan Perisic and Lewandowski to sneak into the penalty box and score! Wow! It’s a quiet and deadly move, like an assassin!]
Son Jin-ho, who scored a goal, ran towards the home fans for the first time in a long while to celebrate.
“Hoo …
It was a moment when Dortmund’s home stadium, Signal Iduna Park, became one with the rain.
