After this, all the Schalke players backed down immediately, knowing that they had to defend this lead with all of their might. They knew that the home team would be hungry for more goals, wanting to win this game more than anything else.
Besides the fact that this was the Revier Derby, Dortmund was currently second in the league behind Bayern, so the only way for them to get closer was by not wasting too many points against a bottom-tier team like Schalke.
Little did they expect, though, that their regional rival would fight tooth and nail, even ready to bleed on the spot, just to stop them from getting too close to Higo's goal.
"Fuck! Come on, Todibo! Press him out! Don't let him get inside!"
"Weston! How many times do I have to tell you, don't rush! Wait and be more patient!"
"Morita! Morita, get him!"
