Chapter 168 Crazy Alien Ren(1/2)
In the eyes of other Schalke people, what they are about to face is just a team that is on par with them in the standings. They can only score 50-50 at best, and with the away disadvantage, they can only score 46-60 at most. And under Yang
In Feng's eyes, what he was preparing to fight was a group of aliens who dared to pinch Barcelona's neck and drink them a large bottle of Seven-Up.
If things are changing in world football, then starting from this Champions League semi-final, the situation has begun to shift from Spain to Germany.
With Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund beating Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively in the Champions League as a symbol, and with the German team winning the World Cup next year as the culmination, German football will usher in a truly prosperous era.
Stevens was not as optimistic as his disciples, but he could not show this worry. Instead, he showed more confidence than his teammates.
"Our opponent, Bayern Munich," Stevens tapped on the tactical board, "is an old friend."
"Hehehe..."
"We are about to make history, guys, the Champions League final and the Champions League title are there, and as long as we get past Bayern Munich, we will be the biggest winners of the season!"
Hewedes stood up, "League champion! Champions League champion! German Cup champion! Triple crown!"
"Triple Crown!"
"Wrong, it's the five-time champion!"
"Yes, don't forget that we have won the German Super Cup and European Super Cup this season!"
Stevens said to the silent Yang Feng: "Yang, do you have anything to say?"
Yang Feng was still brewing, and Sane was already pretending to be lip-syncing beside him: There is an old saying in China...
The others immediately laughed.
Yang Feng didn't see him playing tricks, and he really said: "We have a saying in China... If a marathon is 100 kilometers long, half of the work is actually done when you reach 90 kilometers, and the remaining ten kilometers are
That’s the hardest thing…”
After explaining to a group of illiterate people in the most straightforward way, Yang Feng said about this game, "The current league requires not making mistakes. As long as we maintain normal performance, both we and Bayern Munich can get the remaining points."
To win all games, whoever makes a mistake will be eliminated, but this game is different. Not only can we not make mistakes, we must also be brave and diligent, do everything to the best, and even perform beyond normal, break through our own limits, and break through.
The whole team is at their limit!”
I originally planned to end it here, but in the end I added, "Don't underestimate Bayern!"
"Don't underestimate Bayern," Stevens repeated. "I said they are our old friends, but I hope everyone will not really treat them as old friends, but as someone we don't understand at all."
A powerful enemy to look at..."
Stevens' words exposed his inability to grasp Bayern in preparation for the game, but only Raul and Yang Feng saw this. Fortunately, others listened to his words.
After training, the players come out.
Raul said: "Why do you always have something to say about China? Don't you know how to say it yourself?"
"If your country has a history of thousands of years, and your ancestors have already summarized all the truths for you, you will always say 'our country has a saying'," Yang Feng said, "especially when you have a Chinese teacher
In the case of my mother.”
"Suddenly I understand where your pride comes from..."
Many famous German football players came to the scene.
Kahn, Matthaus, Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller...
"The good thing is that both teams are fully staffed, with no main players injured, and can appear in front of us with the strongest lineup. However, Bayern Munich implemented a large-scale rotation in order to prepare for the Champions League, while Schalke 04
, most of the players are fighting on two fronts. Fortunately, both rounds of the game are held locally, otherwise Schalke 04 will be even more affected.
Bayern Munich 4-2-3-1:
Goalkeeper: 1 Neuer;
Defenders: 21 Lahm (C), 17 J. Boateng, 4 Dante, 27 Alaba;
Midfielder: 8 Xavi Martinez, 31 Bastian Schweinsteiger - 10 Robben, 25 Thomas Muller, 7 Ribery;
Forwards:33 Gomez.
Compared with Schalke 04, which is almost led by Yang Feng alone, Bayern Munich does not have very outstanding players this season. They only have Thomas Muller and Gomez in the top ten of the Bundesliga scorer list, and they are both ranked.
It’s not high, but there are three players in the top five in the assists list, which shows that their offensive firepower is very even, and players in almost every position can create threats..."
"Schalke 04's HYR team reunited and finally played the familiar 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper: 34 Hildebrand;
Defenders: 22 Uchida Atsuto, 4 Hwedes (C), 32 Matip, 23 Fuchs;
Midfielder: 12 Hoegel, 31 Draxler, 17 Farfan;
Forwards: 7 Raul, 25 Huntelaar, 9 Yang Feng.”
Without any probing, Bayern turned away from home at the beginning of the game and launched an offensive from the wing.
Robben showed his flying qualities, passing Raul and Draxler and then rushed to the penalty area.
Fuchs tried to block his inroad, but Robben suddenly made a pass and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Javi Martinez made a direct pass from the right, but instead of hitting the goal with his kick, he cleverly followed up with his heel.
Robben threw Fuchs away and shot low with his left foot against the rolling football!
Hildebrand didn't react at all. At the critical moment, Hewedes suddenly fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, almost saving the ball from the goal line.
"...Only a little bit! Bayern Munich's offensive was very strong. Robben and Xavi Martinez almost knocked on Schalke 04's goal! Höwedes made a save at the goal line, and Matip's big kick
Rescue..."
The football came to midfield, and Raul passed the header to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng gently touched the ball with his thigh and glanced at Bayern's goal.
Neuer stayed in front of the goal obediently. As if he felt Yang Feng's gaze, he also raised his head and glanced at him.
Want to hang the door again? Come on!
Yang Feng really took a direct kick, but the football did not fly towards the goal. Instead, it flew high and landed on the right side of the penalty area.
Farfan touched the ball with his chest, then dunked hard and then hit the goal with his kick.
The football flew high over the crossbar and failed to put any pressure on Neuer.
Huntelaar in front of the goal raised his arm in displeasure, indicating that Farfan should pass the ball.
Neuer kicked the ball out, and Bayern took advantage of the situation through active and effective midfield pressing. Yang Feng and Raul had to retreat significantly to build the team's first line of defense.
Yang Feng firmly believes that the most effective strategy for Schalke 04 can only be to use offense instead of defense. The frontcourt players use a stormy offensive to put pressure on Bayern. They are definitely better than several of them who have to retreat to their own half to participate in defense.
Good, but Bayern gave him almost no chance. From the first minute of the game, through various skillful interspersed runs and quick passes, Schalke 04 was unable to fight back.
"What's going on? Is this still Bayern Munich? Why does it feel like a different team?"
Just 20 minutes had passed in the game, but Hewedes felt as if he had played for most of the game, and his physical strength and energy had been greatly exhausted.
In fact, I already had this feeling during the second match in the league, but this time it was especially obvious.
Before Matip had time to talk, Bayern came again.
Robben once again brought the ball to the side of the penalty area, made an inward movement, and then suddenly pushed the ball toward the baseline secretly.
Ram rushed past him, cut inside laterally, and fired with a blast.
"Robben, too fast! Pass the ball, Lahm hits the goal!!"
The football flew straight to the left side of the goal, hit Matip with a "bang" and bounced out of the baseline. However, several Bayern players in the penalty area raised their hands and shouted.
"Handball! Handball! Foul, penalty kick!"
"He had a handball! Where is the referee? It was a handball!"
The Hungarian referee Kaushoy shook his head and just gave Bayern a corner kick.
Ribery's eyes widened in disbelief and he was about to rush to the referee to argue. Ram quickly held him back and said, "It doesn't matter! Listen to the referee!"
"This is so outrageous! Is he blind?"
"Okay! Keep playing! There is still a chance!"
"Look at the replay... Oops, it's really hard to say about this ball. The football did hit Matipu's right hand, but whether it should be a penalty kick... Well, it's a bit hard to say..."
With Ram's "taking the overall situation into account", the game was able to continue.
The corner kick went straight to the right side of the penalty area, and Muller ran out again without a trace, and fired a light shot at the football.
The angle of the kick was very tricky, but Hildebrand seemed to have an extra pair of eyes and confiscated the ball immediately.
He was probably frightened too. After holding the ball firmly in his arms, he suddenly roared, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
"Hildebrand has become the busiest person on the field. Bayern Munich's offense is really too fierce. Schalke 04 must control the rhythm!"
Hildebrand threw the ball to Uchida Atsuto. Uchida took the ball to the center line and then kicked the ball to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng passed the ball along the way, threw Javi Martinez away again, dribbled the ball in the middle, and suddenly shot a cold arrow in front of the pockets of Boateng and Alababu, and it was a cloud-piercing arrow.
The quality of the ball was unexpectedly high. Yang Feng estimated that even after he stepped on the left side of the penalty area and triggered the long-range shot "SS", he might not be able to hit such a cool long-range shot.
The ball is fast, has a tricky angle, and has a crazy trajectory.
