On Sunday, February 23, 2012, Schalke 04 faced Plzen in the second leg of the 2011-2012 Europa League 1/16 match at the Wiltinsstadion in Germany.

“Both sides have their main players absent.

Pilsen captain Horvat was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, and Shewinski replaced him.

Schalke was missing goalkeeper Onnerstaal with a shoulder injury and midfielder Jones with a calf muscle injury, so Germany's former national goalkeeper Hildebrand was able to start.

Captain Hwedes, who was suspended in the last round of the league, returned to serve as the right goalkeeper. Metzelder and Papadopoulos partnered as double central defenders.

The most noteworthy thing is that Yang Feng will start for the first time, partnering with Huntelaar on the front line..."

Along with the commentator's voice, the lineups of both sides also appeared on the screen.

Only 50,000 spectators came to the venue today. Although all the seats were occupied, it was still a little short of the full capacity that would be expected during major games when not even the standing seats were left.

But the fans' enthusiasm has not been compromised at all.

The Little Broken Mine has the most loyal and passionate fans in the Bundesliga. This stadium once erupted with the strongest noise in history of 129 decibels - you know, the noise emitted by a rocket when it was launched was only 1 meter away.

It’s just 130.

What's even more frightening is that this 129 was not produced in a closed environment, which shows the energy of Schalke fans.

Yang Feng felt this energy so truly for the first time.

From the moment I stepped into the tunnel, I could already hear all kinds of shouts and songs, as if even the surrounding air was gently vibrating.

Hewedes showed his captain's style, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Did you hear that?"

Yang Feng nodded.

"Don't be nervous, rookie, act like a man...what's that expression on your face?"

Farfan laughed loudly next to him, "Nervous? Can't you see? He is excited!"

"Okay, I forgot you're not a newbie."

"No," Yang Feng shook his head, "I'm Mengxin."

People in Pilsen not far away wanted to strangle him to death.

Your sister is so cute.

As the game time approaches, the referee notifies both sides to come out.

Yang Feng stood at the end of the team, stepping onto the turf of the stadium for the first time as a starting player. His eyes and expression were obviously calm, but when his close-up appeared on the screen, the fans interpreted it as a kind of

Murderous spirit and soaring fighting spirit.

"Fengfeng rushes to the duck!"

"Blind hat trick."

"Don't be so bloody. Stay low-key and save your character."

"It's our first time anyway. It's not too much to see some blood, right? It's very beaver, isn't it?"

"Beaver, beaver, not too much, not too much."

Yang Feng quickly stood still a few times. When the referee's whistle sounded, he immediately rushed towards the center circle like an arrow leaving the string.

Pilsen forward Bakos quickly passed the ball back, but Yang Feng did not pause and immediately turned towards the football and chased it.

Stevens nodded happily.

What is needed is this vitality.

Yang Feng rushed for a while and then calmed down.

After all, he is no longer a substitute, so he needs to be more relaxed in allocating his physical strength.

Pilsen dared to play three forwards, of course, in order to win a victory. After the opening, he attacked very fiercely. If Huntelaar and Yang Feng hadn't brought too much pressure, I'm afraid the two full-backs would have been unable to bear it.

Stay and kill.

Prochazka was in the midfield in this game. He didn't have to face Yang Feng directly, so he felt much better. This man was in a beautiful mood, and even his fate began to take care of him.

Just in the third minute of the game, he successfully cut off Heger's pass to Draxler, and then kicked the ball over the forward's head with a long pass.

This Beckham-style long pass shocked everyone on both sides, including the target of the pass, Bakos, who quickly jumped up and rushed towards the top in surprise and joy.

Hildebrand rushed over, but unfortunately, even if his arm stretched to the limit, he could only barely touch the ball, but it could not prevent the football from entering the net.

"The goal...went in! Schalke 04 was too careless! Plzen's boldness in victory was rewarded! The score was 0-1, and the total score became 3-2!"

"The biggest contributor to this goal is undoubtedly Prochazka. This pass was so accurate to the centimeter level... Look at his expression, he doesn't seem to believe that he completed the pass himself."

The Schalke fans were stunned for a while and then made a huge noise, which made the Pilsen generals who were celebrating excitedly couldn't let go. In addition, the total score was still behind the opponent, so they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

The game starts again soon.

Schalke 04 was completely awakened by this head-on blow.

In the 8th minute of the game, Draxler received a pass from Matip in the middle and rushed forward. Yang Feng quickly retreated to help him with the ball.

After the two passed one, Draxler looked up and looked at the direction of the goal, made a slight adjustment, took three steps, and hit the goal with a long shot.

This was a powerful left-footed shot from 20 meters away. The football was fast and urgent. Unfortunately, the reading time was too long and the goalkeeper was prepared.

m. Cech jumped up and barely saved the ball.

As soon as the disappointed expression appeared on Djokovic's face, Huntelaar suddenly came out and shot from the left corner of the small penalty area into the net, 1 to 1.

The Dutch are indeed the top predators. They seem to know nothing, but in fact they know a little bit of everything...

Draxler couldn't manage his expression well and was depressed for a while before forcing a smile on his face.

Yang Feng slapped him on the back of the head in a funny way, and then went to congratulate Huntelaar.

Draxler looked at his back blankly, then touched the back of his head, with a look on his face.

Who are you? Do we know each other well?

After the tie, Schalke 04 began to deliberately control the rhythm of the game, and the football began to be controlled more in the midfield area. Huntelaar and Yang Feng also retreated deep to join the team's midfield pass.

Come.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to the 30th minute. Although Yang Feng ran actively as always, he made no achievements.

The Korean media had endured it for half an hour and finally couldn't hold it any longer.

"China Maple is only suitable as a substitute. When the opponent is exhausted, he is used as a surprise weapon. When the defensive players are prepared, his power cannot even reach one percent of Raul's."

The Japanese media has a similar view, "Yang Feng's template should be a super substitute like Solskjaer. It is difficult to express his characteristics in regular combat... and perform well!"

Farfan and Draxler were separated on both sides, but the Peruvian was in very bad shape in this game, and Stevens' idea of ​​flying on both wings failed to come true. Fortunately, Djokovic was very strong today and frequently gave wonderful performances.

This time it was his exquisite through ball for Yang Feng.

Yang Feng reappears the god-level running position.

From the audience's perspective, Yang Feng's reaction was obviously half a beat faster than the others. When he caught up with the football, he immediately got a chance to stand alone.

Unfortunately, just as the cheers started, the whistle blew.

Yang Feng stopped and looked confused.

Offside?

Stevens immediately jumped up, "Offside? How could this ball be offside?"

It takes a lot of courage for the referee to make this kind of penalty at home, but after the penalty is made, there can be no more hesitation and a firm wave of the hand to signal that this is an offside foul.

But judging from the TV replay, this ball seems to be a bit of a misjudgment, at least it is between a call and a call.

Var will not be introduced into the Bundesliga for more than five years. Nowadays, offside still depends on the referee's naked eye. It is normal to make mistakes occasionally.
Chapter completed!
