He even saw several of them wearing his number 9 jersey.

Wang Shuo recalled that in the early days, Dortmund actually had many football clubs.
So why were the Bumblebees able to stand out and become the symbol of the entire city?
Because of the Ruhr Derby against Schalke 04, their rivals from the city of Gelsenkirchen!
