October 20th, this is the 8th round of the Bundesliga, the Ruhr Derby match day.
Jackie Lee drove into Gelsenkirchen and was immediately recognized by the fans.
Although it was only in the morning, many fans in dark blue jerseys were already seen on the street.
"Bruce, we will win today, right?"
"Will you score in Dortmund?"
"Bruce, as long as you score a goal in Dortmund and you don't score in the next year, we will continue to support you."
"You must kill Dortmund."
Various shouts came towards Li Chenglong.
Before the derby in the Ruhr area started, Jackie Lee felt the derby atmosphere on the streets of Gelsenkirchen.
After entering the club, Li Chenglong felt the difference again.
Everyone on the team is seriously preparing for the game, and the atmosphere becomes more serious invisibly, even Matip, who usually likes to play the most, is quiet.
"Bruce, get ready, today is your first Ruhr Derby." Sven Hubscher, the team's assistant coach, also came over and patted Li Chenglong on the shoulder.
Hubuscher is an old man of the team. He has worked for the team for many years and assisted many coaches.
When Stevens coached Schalke 04 for the first time in the 1990s, Hubuscher worked here as an assistant.
Now more than ten years have passed, Stevens coached Schalke 04 for the second time, and Hubuscher is still here as an assistant.
It is this kind of old people who have the most affection for the club and they value the German game most.
At more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the bus of Schalke 04 departed from Gelsenkirchen, and the streets were full of fans on the side of the road.
"Sure to win~~~~ Must win!!"
"Sure to win~~~~ Must win!!"
The fans saw off along the way, pulling up the blue banner team logo, and chanting the slogan of winning.
The Ruhr area is a dense urban agglomeration, not far from each other. Although Gelsenkirchen is not the largest city in the Ruhr area, it is the most central city, so transportation is convenient. The cities are very close.
The Schalke 04 bus departed from Gelsenkirchen and it took only 20 minutes to reach Dortmund.
As soon as Schalke's blue bus arrived, crazy Dortmund fans surrounded it.
"Schalke bastard, don't you want to leave Dortmund alive!"
"Today is your death date!"
Everyone on the bus was calm and relaxed, and seemed to take care of this scene.
Sure enough, the prepared police opened the way for Schalke's bus, and it passed quickly.

Arriving in Dortmund, the next step is to prepare for the game as usual and participate in the press conference.
At 3:30 pm local time in Germany, the first Ruhr Derby of the season officially started in Dortmund.
"Another confrontation between Dortmund and Schalke 04, another football feast in the Ruhr area. This is the Westfare Stadium, the 141st Ruhr Derby in German football history."
This Ruhr area derby is the biggest highlight of this round of Bundesliga, and the German TV station naturally arranged important commentators to come to the scene.
"In the current Bundesliga standings, Bayern occupy the top spot with 19 points. After this season's dark horse team Frankfurt unexpectedly lost in the previous round, Bayern has opened a 3 point gap and continues Looking down, it is Schalke 04 and Dortmund."
"Yes, currently Schalke 04 has 4 wins, 3 draws and 15 points, while Dortmund has 3 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss and 12 points. The difference between the two teams is exactly three points, a game difference." Two German commentators Start to cooperate with each other.
"So this game is actually a battle for third place between the two sides."
"But for Dortmund, this game is more important. This is not only their home field, but if they want to complete the Bundesliga three consecutive championships, they must catch up with Bayern in the standings, so every game is for them. It’s all very important."
"From the perspective of the player lineups of both sides, Schalke 04’s main goalkeeper Hildebrand continued to be injured. During the national team match day, Draxler and Papadopoulos were also injured. Absent from this game."
"Dortmund has Gotze and Buvaszczkowski absent, and both sides have lost some important players."
"However, both Royce and Lee, the key players who signed heavily this summer, appeared in the starting roster. This is also a competition for the best signings in the Bundesliga this season..."
In the voice of the commentator’s discussion, both sides of the game are ready on the court.
Schalke 04 arranged a 4231 formation,
Goalkeeper: Unnastahl;
Defenders: Fox, Matip, Hewedes, Uchida Atsushi;
Midfielder: Neustedt, Hogel;
Avant-garde: Afelay, Holtby, Li Chenglong;
Forward: Huntelaar.
Draxler was injured, the Dutchman Afelay took his place, and during the national team game day, Jermaine Jones flew back to North America to participate in the game. After returning, he looked very tired and is now placed on the bench. On the table.
Dortmund arranged a 352 formation at home, or 3142 formation;
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller;
Defenders: Hummels, Sven Bender, Subotic;
Midfielder: Kyle;
Avant-garde: Grosskreuz, Perisic, Letner, Pišček;
Forwards: Lewandowski, Royce.
Gotze's injury is definitely a major loss for Dortmund.
With a whistle from the famous German post Bruch, this highly anticipated Ruhr Derby has officially begun.
At the beginning of the game, Dortmund kicked off first and quickly hit the frontcourt. As soon as Royce got the ball to make a breakthrough, he was knocked to the ground by Hogle.
This made a huge boo in the Westfare stadium with more than 80,000 people, but Bruch was unmoved and just gave an ordinary foul.
Immediately after Schalke 04 attacked, Jackie Lee took the ball and passed Perisic, and the opponent's Grand Cross immediately shoveled over. It was the kind of shoveling with the ball. Lee Chenglong jumped up and evaded, but was still taken by Hung up.
This time the referee also only gave an ordinary foul.
Grosskreuz means the big cross in German, just as Schweinsteiger means pig in German, so Schweinsteiger is called piglet.
"The game has just started, and the two sides have a very fierce confrontation. The two teams have received special care for their first participation in the Ruhr derby. I believe this will give them a deeper understanding of the Ruhr derby."
In this fierce confrontation, many of the skills and tactics of the two teams have been restricted, and the competition has become more dependent on the players' personal abilities, or even more luck.
In the 15th minute, Schalke 04's luck came first.
Fox from the left dribbled the ball forward and assisted ~EbookFREE.me~ After passing Pishcek, he passed the ball to Holtby in the center. Holtby was hit by Kyle behind him and directly hit The ball stopped more than two meters to his side.
At this time, Li Chenglong just ran to this position. He took the ball and took a long shot. Humels and Subotic both jumped up and stopped sideways. However, Li Chenglong stepped on the ball and pulled it back. Pick, pick and pass the ball to the point behind the goal.
The Dutchman Afelay rushed two steps from the back point and ran to the small penalty area with a diving header and directly into the gate of Dortmund.
"Gooooooooooal~~~~~"
"Afelay scored with a header~~~~ A pass assist from Lee!!"
"Li just handled the ball very beautifully. He got the ball in a more unexpected situation, but pretended to shoot to deceive the defensive player in front of him, and then picked up the pass with a handy shot, and then assisted his teammate to score a goal!! "
"Schalke spent 14 million to introduce Li is definitely worth the money. Not only does he perform well, he also has a big heart and can always stand out at critical moments."
The German commentator boasted about Li Chenglong.
Since the beginning of the new season, Jackie Lee is indeed the best player in the Schalke 04 team. Huntelaar, who had a crazy performance last season, seems to have been effective and has begun to become silent. Jackie Lee has gradually become Schalke. 04 The most important player in the team.
In the opening ten minutes, the goal of the arch-enemy was broken, and the whole Schalke team immediately celebrated in the Westfare Stadium.
"Schalke~~~~Schalke!!!"
"Schalke~~~~Schalke!!!"
The Schalke 04 team gathered together and shouted the team name together on the sidelines, ignoring the crazy curses in the stands.
