Chapter 139: Champions League debut

In order to win the away game, Huber Stevens made some tactical changes to the team's formation.
　　 In this Champions League game, Schalke 04 had a 442 formation on the road.
The defense line has not changed much, but the team captain Héveds has returned to partner Matip as the central defender, and the goalkeeper is the starting position of the young player Onnastahl. The old goalkeeper Hildebrand has been determined, and probably will Missed for two or three months.
In the midfield arrangement, Draxler, who did not perform well in the last game, sat on the bench in this game. The four midfielders were against Holtby, Jermaine Jones, Barnetta and Holland. Afelay.
　　 And Li Chenglong was topped the striker and went to pair with Huntelaar to play double forwards.
In fact, at the beginning of last season, after lighting up the staggered running talent card, Li Chenglong's playing style began to become more like a forward. If he couldn't find too many opportunities on the wing, he would run into the penalty area. So it’s okay to play forward with Huntelaar.
　　 Although he can play as a forward, Lee Chenglong is still registered in the midfield position when the player is registered, so strictly speaking he is still a midfielder.
　　 Schalke 04 is a 442 formation, while Olympiacos has arranged a 4231 formation at home.
　　 When the game started, Schalke 04 quickly discovered that although the opponent is considered the weakest team in the group, they are not conservative at all.
　　 Obviously, they also have dreams, and they don't want to just eat and wait to die in this group, and be a fish belly.
　　 Or their head coach Leonardo Yardim is a dreamer, and he also wants to lead the team to stand out from this group.
　　Olympiacos sits on the home court advantage, tactically plays well, and does a good job offensive and defensively, and Schalke 04 has a better overall strength, so the two sides played back and forth in the first half.
　　 In the 8th minute, Olympiacos hit Schalke's penalty area for the first time and also completed a shot.
This shot was actually pretty good, but the first Champions League starter Wonnerstahl failed to hold the ball in the first time. Fortunately, he rushed forward again before the opponent's striker arrived. The ball was held in his arms.
　　 This one really shocked everyone.
　　 In the 21st minute, Li Chenglong received a pass from Banetta on the penalty area line and quickly sprinted into the penalty area. After stepping on the bike, he squeezed the Greek defender Manolas to force, but he was knocked down by the opponent.
　　 Lee Chenglong immediately demanded a penalty kick to the referee, but the Spanish referee thought this was a normal physical confrontation and did not give a penalty.
　　 I have to say that the physical confrontation in the Champions League is indeed much stronger than in ordinary games.
　　 Just like that, the two teams had their own offense and defense in the first half, but they couldn't find any opportunities.
　　 Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, everyone thought it was going to end with a 0:0 draw, but the situation on the field was unexpected.
　　 In the 45th minute, the fourth official on the sidelines had already raised his placard to indicate that it was a minute of stoppage time in the first half. At this time, Schalke 04's left back, Fox, dribbled in and took a long shot.
　　 This long shot was a bit sudden, and Olympiacos goalkeeper Meyeri was prepared to be a little hasty. Although he blocked the shooting route, he failed to hold the ball directly in the first shot, and the ball fell in front of him.
　　 The ball was half a step in front of Meyer, and when he was about to pounce on the ball again, a blue figure had already rushed to him.
When Fox put in a long shot, Lee Chenglong started to run towards the goal. As soon as the opponent's ball was released, Lee Chenglong just hit the horse and rushed in. He hit the ball head-on with his thigh and dodged directly with the ball, followed by a relaxed push. Empty door.
　　 "Goooooooooal~~~~~~~"
　　 "Bruce Lee ~~~~ beautiful back shot to score!!!"
　　 "Fox's long shot caused the opponent's goalkeeper to let go, and then Li rushed to break the ball in time and took the goalkeeper to push the empty goal."
　　 "Lee scored a goal in his first Champions League game. This is Lee's first Champions League goal."
　　 "Just a few days ago, Li only got his Bundesliga first goal, and now he has won his Champions League first goal. He is using actual actions to prove his worth."
　　 The German commentator was talking about Lee Chenglong's debut, while the Greek commentator was talking about the situation just now.
　　 "The opponent's striker is too keen. As soon as Meyer's ball was released, he arrived."
"Before, their goalkeeper had a punt and let go, but we didn't have a player to grab it in time. When our goalkeeper made such a small mistake, the opponent immediately caught it. This may be the difference between the players' personal abilities. ."
　　 scored the Champions League debut goal, Lee Chenglong excitedly rushed to the side of the court, opened his arms in the stands of Schalke fans to celebrate, and soon his teammates rushed over to hug Lee Chenglong.
　　 After the celebration of Schalke 04 here, the referee only gave Olympiacos one attack opportunity, and then blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
　　 At halftime, Huber Stevens did not make too many adjustments. After all, the team is currently leading the score. He just emphasized the need to strengthen the wing space.
　　 Lee Chenglong switched to the forward position to reduce the number of wing breakthroughs. In this game, Schalke 04’s wing tearing ability dropped a lot.
　　 At the beginning of the second half of the game, Olympiacos stepped up the offensive, but attacking for a while had no effect, so their head coach Yaldeem immediately made a substitution.
　　 The Argentine midfielder Ibagaza, who has played for La Liga Mallorca, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, came off the bench and replaced the Spanish midfielder Foster.
　　 When he was in La Liga, Ibagatha was still barely a star, but now he is 35 years old. It can be said that he is about to grow old and there is basically no threat.
　　 But only 3 minutes after the opponent came off the bench, he helped Olympiacos equalize the score.
　　 In the 59th minute, Ibagatha found the gap between Matip and Jones, a through ball passed and assisted Algerian Abbott’s goal.
　　 Now Schalke 04 is a bit speechless, and a bad old man came up to pass the ball, and this TM equalized the score.
　　 Fortunately, while the opponent strengthened their offense, Schalke 04 has more opportunities here.
　　 In the 62nd minute, Li Chenglong entered the penalty area and hit the goal after two-by-one cooperation with Huntelaar, but the ball was blocked by the opponent defender Contreras.
　　 But relying on this corner kick opportunity, Huntelaar crushed the opposing defender Hollebass header to help Schalke 04 again take the lead.
　　 Olympiacos only equalized the score for three minutes, and Schalke 04 once again exceeded the score, which invisibly accelerated the pace of the game.
　　 In the 73rd minute, Li Chenglong quickly counterattacked with the ball and was brought down by the opponent. Schalke 04 won a well-positioned frontcourt free kick.
　　 After joining Schalke 04, Jackie Lee quickly became the team's first free kick penalty shooter, this ball is undoubtedly by him.
　　 Lee Chenglong was familiar with a run-up and hit the goal. He used his right foot to draw a very good curve ball. He saw that the ball was about to fly into the upper right corner of the goal.
　　 "Meieri~~~Meieri, a very beautiful save, this time he proved himself, he saved this must goal." The Greek commentator cheered frantically for his goalkeeper.
"When Bruce Lee was in the Scottish League, he was known as Beckham of Scotland. This is the first time he has shown his superb free kick level after joining Schalke 04~EbookFREE.me~." The German commentator said so.
　　 "Unfortunately, the ball was thrown out by the opponent's goalkeeper."
　　 Although Lee Chenglong's free kick did not score, Schalke 04 is still the lead in the score and there is no need to worry.
　　 Match time is becoming less and less, this is the most favorable point for Schalke 04.
　　 Olympiacos is still continuing to make substitutions, they need to continue to strengthen their offense.
　　Schalke 04, under the command of Stevens, began to shrink the formation and played a defensive counterattack.
In the 82nd minute, Schalke 04 got another good chance to counterattack. Holtby made a long pass to find the frontcourt Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong sank his shoulders in front of the penalty area and turned Manolas into the penalty area, but I tripped over the opponent's foot from behind.
　　 Li Chenglong lay in the penalty area, spread his hands and looked at the referee.
　　 This is an obvious penalty, right?
　　 This time the referee did not hesitate, and immediately gave a penalty and gave Manolas a yellow card.
　　 Although Li Chenglong was Schalke 04’s first free kick, he was only the second choice on the penalty kick and Huntelaar was the first penalty shooter.
　　 With Huntelaar's penalty kick, Schalke 04 also sealed the victory.
　　 So, Schalke 04 won Olympiacos 3:1 away and won the first Champions League victory this season.
