Chapter 136: UEFA Champions League

In the first half, Schalke 04 had a 3:0 lead, and this game was basically not a big problem.
During the intermission, Lee Chenglong was thinking about whether he would try his best to score a goal in the second half to complete the Bundesliga first goal, or send another assist and complete an assist hat trick.
However, goals and assists do not seem to conflict, as if both can be done.
Children do multiple-choice questions, and adults of course need them all.
But at the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Chenglong discovered that Holtby was starting to get cancerous again. As soon as he got the ball, he just thought about his own actions and kept wasting opportunities.
In fact, before joining Schalke 04, Jackie Lee was still thinking about having a good relationship with this product and cooperating with each other in the future, but he didn't expect this product to be a unique force.
Holtby’s father is British and his mother is German. He lived in the UK for a while when he was a child. He was an Everton fan, so there should be a topic with Jackie Lee.
But Holtby came to live in Germany very early, joined the Aachen youth academy in Germany, where he became a famous talented player, and later joined the German youth team.
Last season, Holtby was Schalke 04's midfield organizer, his performance has been good, and wearing the team's No. 10 jersey, it can be seen that Schalke 04 pays more attention to him.
In fact, there is no conflict between Jackie Lee and this guy. Holtby became malignant mainly because of the rise of Draxler.
Draxler has fine feet and excellent dribbling, but the speed of dribbling is not fast enough, causing him to play at the front midfielder. His threat is greatly reduced when he goes to the wing.
This is in conflict with Holtby, who was previously the team’s organizer and midfielder. He and Draxler have obvious position overlaps. The rise of Druids directly threatens his position.
Last season, Holtby was able to squeeze Draxler to the wing with a more mature performance, but at the beginning of the new season, Draxler’s performance has become more and more mature. The previous German Cup victory 5:0. In the field, Draxler made two shots and one pass to shine the audience.
This has made Holtby's sense of crisis more and more serious, and now he is about to become confused.
This guy thinks of himself as soon as he gets the ball and wants to use this method to prove himself, but he has become the offensive terminator of the team again and again.
In the 72nd minute, Huber Stevens finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a substitution adjustment, allowing the Swiss Banetta to play for Holtby.
Barnetta went on to play the left midfielder position and changed Draxler from the left midfielder position to the midfielder position.
Draxler, who switched to the front midfielder position, quickly performed.
In the 82nd minute, after he broke through the middle to attract a double-team, he divided the ball to Li Chenglong on the right. Li Chenglong took the opportunity to pass the ball directly to the goal, Huntelaar inserted the goal and scored the goal.
In this way, some time was wasted by Holtby, Lee Chenglong failed to get the Bundesliga first goal, but still got an assist hat trick.
However, there was an accident at the end of the game. The Greek defender Papadopoulos made a pass error and directly gave the opposing forward a single-handed ball.
What's more troublesome is that the old goalkeeper Hildebrand attacked and collided with the opposing forward. Not only did he give the opposing penalty a penalty, he was also injured.
It doesn't matter whether you send a penalty or not, but Hildebrand is injured. This is the biggest loss.
Although Hildebrand is 33 years old, he is still Schalke 04's most reliable goalkeeper.
If he is missing for a long time, it will definitely have a huge impact on Schalke 04's defense.
But in any case, Schalke 04 still won Augsburg 4:1 at home and made a good start for the new season at home.
Jackie Lee, who sent the assists hat-trick, was selected as the best player of the game after the game, which is regarded as his own name.
On the evening of the end of the game, Schalke 04’s official Twitter posted the status: "Welcome to the Ruhr area, Marco Denilsen!!!"
This is used to mock the arch rival Dortmund. After Schalke 04's 4-1 home win, Dortmund went to an away game to challenge Nuremberg, but was tied 1:1.
Royce, who performed well in the last game, performed mediocre in this game, similar to Li Chenglong’s last game. Although there were a few good dribbles, he did not really help the team in the end, so Dortmund was drawn away on the road. Up.
Now Schalke’s official push seized the opportunity to mock Marco Royce as Marco Denilsen.
In fact, Royce led Borussia Borussia to get fourth place in the Bundesliga last season and achieved a Champions League qualification. This is already a proof of himself in the Bundesliga, and he cannot be said to be Denilsen.
But the rivals mock each other, so they don't care about it.
※※※
In the second round of the Bundesliga, Monaco on the Mediterranean coast, the annual UEFA Champions League group stage draw was held here again.
For Schalke 04, Chairman Clemens Tenis led the team to participate in the draw.

Arsenal are the Premier League giants. Needless to say, Olympiacos was the Greek Premier League champion last season. Don’t worry too much about this, but Montpellier was the Ligue 1 champion last season, overtaking the new European tycoon Paris Saint-Germain. The strength will never be weak anymore.
Therefore, the Schalke 04 team should be Arsenal, Schalke and Montpellier competing for two spots, which is also a small death group.
There are four Bundesliga teams participating in the Champions League this season, but after the loss of Reus, Borussia Borussia lost strength and was eliminated by Ukraine’s Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League play-offs, so only Bayern, Dortmund and Schalke were three. Support into the race.
But this year's Bundesliga third team draw is not ideal.
Bayern drew a group with La Liga Valencia, Ligue 1 Lille and Belarusian Borisov. This is already the best of the three Bundesliga teams. Bayern has no major problems to qualify, that is, it depends on who Valencia or Lille Strive for second place in the group ~EbookFREE.me~ But if Bayern is not in good shape, it may be squeezed out by Valencia and Lille.
Schalke 04's mortal enemy Dort is the worst, they are assigned to a super death group.
The other three teams in the same group are La Liga champions Real Madrid, Premier League champions Manchester City, and Dutch champions Ajax.
This is the deadliest group in the Champions League group stage this season.
After the draw result came out, the German media analyzed: Bayern’s problem with qualifying is not big, but it should not be taken lightly; Schalke 04 has a good chance, but must play every game; whether Dortmund can qualify, that’s really very Unpredictable.
If the worst happens, the Bundesliga may all be eliminated in the group stage.
The result of the group stage draw came out, and it was time to predict the champion again.
In terms of the odds of European mainstream gambling companies, Cosmos Barcelona ranks first, Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid ranks second, followed by the Premier League's Manchester City duo.
The highest ranking in the Bundesliga is Bayern, who ranks fifth, one higher than defending champion Chelsea.
As for Schalke 04, he was ranked 19th among 36 teams.
Even Dort, who has entered the super death group, is higher than Schalke 04, and they are only ranked 13th.
It is worth mentioning that Jackie Lee’s old club Dundee United, they failed to make the Champions League this season.
Dundee United eliminated the Serbian champion Belgrade in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, but lost to the Belgian champion Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League play-offs and fell to participate in the Europa League.
It is the Celtics who successfully passed two consecutive stages and hit the Champions League match, and are currently divided into a group with Barcelona, ​​Benfica and Sparta Moscow.
