After Li Kang finished training, he took the club bus with his teammates and headed to Gelsenkirchen.
They will challenge the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04 away from home.
The standings and historical records of the mid- and upper-tier Bundesliga teams in the past two years cannot be used as a reference at all.
Although Schalke 04 was sixth in the Bundesliga last season, they lost honorably in every strong match.
Looking out the car window at the beautiful farmland.
Li Kang lowered his head and flipped through the map, getting a general geographical impression of several clubs in the North Rhine region.
"Li, the football cartoon you introduced to me is not rigorous at all."
"The distance between Schalke 04 and Leverkusen is only a few dozen kilometers. Why does the protagonist want to fly?"
"But Raul looks very handsome!"
Brandt held the tablet and complained.
Bender said with a smile: "Now Schalke 04, without Raul, only Huntelaar is left. Their strength is still very strong. Have you seen several first-division teams where the central defender is the top scorer in the team?" ?”
Kramer thought for a moment and said: "Without Schalke 04 in the Champions League this year, our Bundesliga European points are in danger!"
Schalke 04 also has another characteristic: they are decent in civil war and superb in external battles. As long as they play against clubs from La Liga and Premier League in the Champions League, their combat effectiveness will skyrocket by several levels.
Thanks to the strong performances of the Bundesliga giants and Bayern in previous Champions Leagues.
In the 2015/16 new season, the Bundesliga's European war points surpassed the Premier League and rose to second place.
What is the use of this point?
Can determine the number of participating teams in each league to participate in the Champions League and Europa League.
An hour and a half later.
Bayer Leverkusen's club bus entered Gelsenkirchen.
Li Kang discovered that this city and Leverkusen were completely two worlds apart.
I haven’t seen the Glass Falls Science Park reported on TV.
I don't see any elements related to "green city".
Both sides of the road are filled with the smell of wasteland.
In the din.
Several drunken men fought on the dilapidated streets.
Sun Xingmin said: "Don't be so surprised, Li, we are taking a shortcut. Next time we come over to play, if we take the main road, you will see a beautiful small town."
"The tattoos of these men. They should be from the Hydra organization. Oh my god, you can only see them in Gelsenkirchen."
Brandt wondered: "What is the Hydra organization?"
Son Heung-min was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to a 19-year-old player.
Cramer explained: "It's a women's protection organization and the city collects entertainment tax from the girls. I hope there won't be too many Bayer Leverkusen fans at the venue. Schalke 04 fans are notoriously capable. beat."
Half an hour later.
The Bayer Leverkusen club bus arrived at the Veltins Arena.
The home ground of Schalke 04!
Original title: Go to the Schalke Stadium proudly!
The Veltins Brewery spent a lot of money to get the naming rights.
This magnificent stadium has an artistic appearance and seems out of place in the city of Gelsenkirchen.
It brings together countless new technologies and can accommodate 60,000 people to watch the game.
Bayer Arena in Leverkusen has only one third of its capacity.
The bus pulls into the parking lot.
Old Man Top took Dino and walked to the press conference in a familiar manner.
"I attended the opening ceremony of this stadium back then! The president also came and he even shook hands with me."
"Schalke 04 is so crazy. They borrowed 190 million euros to build this stadium. When will we at Leverkusen have such courage?"
The scene of the pre-match press conference.
Breitenwright stood up and shook Old Man Top's hand warmly.
He is the new coach of Schalke 04.
The coaching style is very bold.
Reporters began to ask questions enthusiastically.
"Leverkusen and Schalke 04 have a very good relationship. We were both founded in 1904 and have never won the Bundesliga title."
Breitenwright's remarks made the media laugh.
The reporters quickly put questions to Mr. Top.
"Mr. Top, have Li Kang and Leverkusen completed the contract extension?"
What the hell is this problem?
The old man Top's face darkened and he said calmly: "This question should be asked to Leverkusen's sports director. You should focus more on Sane of Schalke 04. He has scored 4 goals in two rounds of the Bundesliga.
, he is definitely a phenomenal talented player!”
"He scored the goal of Real Madrid in the Champions League last season! He created a historical record for a young player in the Champions League!"
"Also in the game against Wolfsburg, he ran 80 meters long and scored after passing four people. I think he has a brilliant future!"
This time it was Breitenwright's turn to be uneasy.
"No, no, no! Sane has a strong breakthrough ability, but his other abilities are average. Yes, yes, the club has renewed his contract with him."
damn it.
Don't let anyone try to take advantage of our Schalke youth academy treasure!
The major European clubs have long been eyeing Sane.
Especially Bayern.
In the players tunnel.
Players from both sides greeted each other warmly.
There was no hint of tense hostility.
Many players have formed deep friendships during their youth training days.
For example, Sane spent three years in the Bayer Leverkusen youth academy before returning to the Schalke 04 youth academy.
Li Kang looked at the walls and ceiling of the passage, feeling like he was in a mine.
He then looked at the queue of Schalke 04.
The opponent's starting lineup today.
They are all elites who will gain a foothold in Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Manchester City in the future.
Brandt suddenly patted him on the shoulder: "Li, this is your Bundesliga debut!"
Cramer quickly corrected: "Li played in the first round of the Bundesliga, but he didn't take a few steps on the court and the game was over."
Veltins Arena.
There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.
Blue and white flags flutter in the wind.
Schalke 04 fans sang the passionate team anthem in unison.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
The four large LED boards above the stadium immediately released the starting lineups of the two teams.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers, the live broadcast for you now is the third round of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season!"
"Schalke 04 vs Leverkusen at home!"
"A strong dialogue between the top Bundesliga teams! There is no shortage of goals in the competition between the two teams!"
"Here we introduce to you the starting lineups of the two teams!"
"Schalke 04 has formed a 4-3-3 formation!"
"Goalkeeper: Farman!"
"Left back: Ogo!"
"Central defender: Matip partners with Héwedes!"
"Right back: Ritter!"
"Midfielder: Hojbjerg, Goretzka, Maier!"
"Left winger: Choupo-Moting!"
"Center: Huntelaar!"
"Right winger: Sane!"
"Leverkusen also formed a 4-3-3 formation!"
"Goalkeeper:"
