Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The stadium began in 1931 because Berlin was selected by the International Olympic Committee as the host city of the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. The Nazi German government took three years to complete the construction project from 1934 to 1936. At that time, it had a resounding name called the Empire Stadium.

For well-known reasons, in 1945, Berlin was occupied by the Allied forces and the Soviet Red Army.

The Empire Stadium was only slightly damaged by machine guns and is one of the few buildings that remained intact during World War II.

The stadium and its surrounding ancillary buildings were requisitioned by the British army and became the headquarters of the occupying army. It was not until 1994 that the withdrawal of troops was completed.

Of course, the empire no longer exists, and the stadium was renamed the Olympic Stadium.

In 1998, Berlin citizens started a debate over the existence and destruction of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Some people believed that it should be demolished and rebuilt, while others believed that the venue itself was not a symbol of the (harmonious) party and advocated reservation.

In the end, the German authorities adopted the reservation, but took advantage of the stadium's disrepair and the reason for bidding for the Olympics, Berlin spent 242 million euros to rebuild the Olympic Stadium.

History has long become a thing of the past.

Today, the Olympic Stadium is the home court of Hertha Berlin, Berlin. The biggest feature of this multi-functional stadium is the blue and white track representing Hertha Berlin.

Of course, as Germany's second largest stadium, the Berlin Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 76,000 spectators, sometimes hosts some major events in addition to serving as the home court of Hertha Berlin.

For example, the German Cup final.

Since 1985, the German Cup finals have been held in this stadium every year.

This year is no exception.

At 8 o'clock tonight, Wolfsburg and Dortmund will compete for the title of this season's German Cup at the Olympic Stadium.

Founded in 1945, Wolfsburg has been a team of losers for decades before it was acquired by Volkswagen Group. In the history of the team, there is almost no honor that can be boasted about, including the German Cup, which is only available for domestic cup trophy.

Wolfsburg's closest victory in the German Cup was in 1995, when his opponent was a veteran Bundesliga giant, Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the 90-minute game, Wolfburg was scored three times by Borussia Mönchengladbach and lost 0:3.

Therefore, when we had the opportunity to write history for the team, the whole team of Wolfsburg, and even the fans of this team, had already unified their cognition.

Three days ago, in the 29th round of the league, Magath sent out a full substitute lineup.

This also made the team lose the game 0:1 at home.

Although this caused the team to drop from fourth place in the Bundesliga standings to fifth place, no fan had any objections.

Everyone knows what is the most important thing.

The team is accumulating efforts for the first ever Cup championship.

What's more, the German Cup champion can also qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Cup next season.

Wolfsburg arrived in Berlin the day after the league ended. They loaned a training ground and started secret training.

However, his opponent Dortmund doesn't seem to want to give up.

For this final, Dortmund made the same decision as Wolfsburg. They also disarmed early in the 29th round of the league and were kicked 1:3 by the away team Hannover at home.

You know, it is much more difficult for Dortmund to make such a decision than for Wolfsburg.

After all, their league ranking is now 13th, and they may be caught up by the team behind them at any time and fall into the mud pit of relegation.

Unlike Wolfsburg, Dortmund's ancestors were much more generous.

In 2004, the German Professional Football League announced the introduction of the "Outstanding Champions Club" rule for the first time.

According to this rule, the 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars on the chest of the Bundesliga team represent 3, 5, 10 and 20 Bundesliga championships respectively.

There is such a star embroidered on the team logo on the left chest of the Dortmund jersey, which is more than most German clubs.

In addition to the four-star Bayern and the two-star Mönchengladbach, the four clubs that can show their stars on their jerseys are Hamburg, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Dortmund.

In addition, Dortmund also won the UEFA Champions League championship in the 1996-1997 season and reached the top of Europe.

Dortmund's decline stems from the wrong decisions made by the team's management.

At the turn of the century, club executives decided to go public, which made Dortmund the first club to be listed on the German stock market.

Then, in the second year of its listing, the club raised huge amounts of money from the stock market to buy stars.

This measure allowed the team to win the Bundesliga championship in the 2001-02 season, but also overdraw the club's goodwill. Dortmund, who was unable to make ends meet, owed 125 million pounds in debt, and its financial situation was getting worse.

Since 2005, Dortmund has been on the verge of bankruptcy. The rumors that the boss ran away with his sister-in-law has never stopped spreading in the German capital market.

This season is the darkest season that Dortmund has encountered, and they have never been as close to the relegation zone as they are now.

But Chen Qing didn't care about these things.

Chen Qing stood in the player's channel and was constantly looking at the stands in the direction of the Wolfsburg coach's seat.

In the graphic advertisement on April 15, Chen Qing was tossed by photographers and his team for a day in the studio and outdoor location.

However, looking at Clark beside him, Chen Qing felt a little happy.

After filming the advertisement, Chen Qing and Clark exchanged contact information.

When he returned to the hotel, Raiola had already checked out early, but the Italian left an envelope for Chen Qing at the hotel's front desk.

There are two direct flight tickets from London to Berlin in the envelope, one of which is Chen Qing and the other is Imokin Clark. God knows how Raiola handles these things.

In the envelope, Raiola also left a note for Chen Qing, which read "Ask her to see the German Cup final, you can handle the tickets yourself!"

Italians are really a god-level assistant.

Not bad, Chen Qing finally didn't waste Raiola's air tickets.

On the afternoon of April 16th, Chen Qing did not return to Berlin alone.

Although Chen Qing was captured by Magath and returned to the hotel for centralized management after returning to Berlin, as long as he was not going home at night, Magath would not imprison the players' movement trajectory during non-training periods.

After Chen Qing came back from the UK this time, everyone was smiling, and everyone could see the problem. Not to mention the talented people in the team.

What's more, Chen Qing also asked Marcelinho about the tickets.

Chen Qing is alone in Germany. He has basically no social activities except training and does not like to go to nightclubs. What do you want to do if you want a ticket?

Marcelinho made up the matter with all his guesses.

The Brazilian midfielder is a big mouth.

Within half a day, even head coach Magath knew that Chen Qing went to London to take the driver's license and got a model girlfriend, and brought him to watch the game on the spot.

Although Chen Qing felt that his horoscope had not yet been drawn.

Fortunately, the tickets are coming, and it was given by Magath.

The old man and the team's executives wanted the best ticket, right behind the coach's seat.
Chapter completed!
