Dortmund yellow wall

My story

by: Daniel Robles

The first time I watched a soccer match of Borussia Dortmund was 2 years ago. In that time they they weren't that good as they're nowadays. Despite they lost that match being at there home stadium I liked that match. I felt something different. Something I´ve never feel watching a Barcelona's match or even a Junior match here in Barranquilla. I was watching the match in my house by ESPN. the first thing I thought when I started watching the match was " What a weird crowd this team has". There fans were different. They didn't curse the opposing team or the referee , they didn't claim if one player damaged the counter attack of the team. The only thing there fans did was singing and supporting their team to motivate there players and make them go on and play well. I felt pretty surprised when the game ended. The team lost and there morale was very low because that game was very important for winning the league title. Despite this at the end of the match there crowd started singing and applauding them to raise the morale of the players. When I saw the faces of the players watching how there crowd was always with them I thought " This team and there fans are fantastic". From that moment I started watching every Dortmund match. Game after game my love for this team grew bigger. I've never seen something like this. This team are there fans make me feel lucky because they are few the people who know what is feeling true love for there team. And they showed to me what it feels to love your team. To be with them in every moment. Either if they lose or win. This team always play every match like a final. In the last Champions League final Dortmund fans perform something marvelous. They make like a man with goggles aiming to the trophy. When I saw this I was astonished. Unfortunately they lost this final against Munchen. But they taught me what being a true fan means. Despite having to watch every Dortmund match by TV because I don't live in Germany I can almost feel the same love for this team as there fans in the stadium. It was like love at first sight. I like everything about this team. This is why my dream would always be to watch at least one Dortmund game but in there stadium.
