Chapter 178: Advance to the top 8

The first round of the Champions League round of 16 is all over, and all three Bundesliga teams have achieved very good results.
　　 Schalke and Bayern both won away games, and Dortmund's 2:2 away draw was already the worst result.
　　 Generally speaking, in the Champions League quarter-finals this season, it is very likely that you will see three German teams at the same time.
　　 After a week of adjustments, the Schalke 04 team was in good condition and soon ushered in a victory in the game.
　　 On February 23, the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Dusseldorf at home.
　　 It was easy for Schalke 04 to regain its form. Lee Chenglong's long shot helped the team open the scoring. Then Matip used two corner kicks to score twice. Schalke 04 won the opponent 3:1 at home.
　　 In this round of the game, Dortmund was tied 1:1 by Borussia Borussia Borussia, Leverkusen and Frankfurt both scored a 0-0 draw away.
　　 So relying on this victory, Schalke 04 returned to the second place in the standings.
　　 However, Bayern is still very stable. They beat Werder Bremen 6:1 at home, giving no chance at all.
　　 As Kahn said in an interview on TV the previous two days: "At present, this Bayern team is invincible."
　　 In the standings after this round, Bayern has 60 points, Schalke 44 points, Dortmund 43 points, Leverkusen 42 points and Frankfurt 38 points.
　　 Immediately after February 26, the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Schalke 04 played against Freiburg at home.
In this game Stevens still sent a half-rotation lineup. Lee Chenglong came on the bench in the 87th minute and then scored a goal in overtime to help the team defeat Freiburg 3:2 at home and successfully advanced. To the semi-finals.
　　 It is worth mentioning that in the quarterfinals of the German Cup this season, Bayern drew Borussia Dortmund directly, and Bayern eliminated the opponent 1-0 at home.
　　 After Dortmund was out, Bayern and Schalke are the top two favorites in the German Cup.
　　 The four teams in the semi-finals of the German Cup this season are Bayern, Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart.
　　 Soon the result of the draw for the German Cup semi-finals came out. Bayern played against Wolfsburg at home and Schalke 04 played away against Stuttgart.
　　 The German Football Association is also considering the viewing of the game. Bayern and Wolfsburg have an antagonism, Schalke and Stuttgart also have conflicts.
　　The game has reached the semi-finals, and Stevens should not consider giving up anymore. After all, he can win the championship by winning two more games.
　　 However, the German Cup semi-finals will not start until April, and we are still preparing for the league and the Champions League.
　　※※※
　　 On March 2, the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went away to challenge Wolfsburg.
　　 Although the upcoming midweek will be the second round of the Champions League round of sixteen, Schalke 04 came to the Volkswagen Arena fully armed.
　　 Because the Champions League has already won a 4:0 away game, it doesn't need to spend too much time.
　　 This time on the away scene against Wolfsburg, which is now in trouble, Schalke 04 played the biggest league win this season.
　　 Li Chenglong and Draxler both scored twice, and Huntelaar came back as the icing on the cake. Schalke 04 defeated Wolfsburg 5:1 away.
　　 Schalke's offensive trio scored five goals, and the German media began to give them the title of Trident.
　　 In this round of Bundesliga, all the top four teams in the league have won. Bayern beat Hoffenheim 1:0 away, Dortmund beat Hannover 96 at home 3:1, and Leverkusen beat Stuttgart 2:1 at home.
　　 Only Frankfurt lost 0:1 at home to Borussia.
　　 So in the standings, Bayern had 63 points, Schalke had 47 points, Dortmund had 46 points, Leverkusen had 45 points, while Frankfurt still had 38 points.
　　 At present, Frankfurt will be the first team to fall behind.
　　 At the same time Schalke and Dort, Leverkusen can breathe a sigh of relief, because Frankfurt is behind, the competition for the Champions League qualification will become much easier, and even everyone can put more energy into the European war.
　　 In the last two league rounds, Lee Chenglong scored 3 goals, Lewandre scored 2 goals, and Kisling only scored 1 goal.
　　 So on the scorer list, Jackie Lee caught up with Kisling, the two tied for the top with 16 goals, followed by Lewand with 15 goals.
　　 Frankfurt’s Alexander Mayer has fallen behind. This season’s Bundesliga Golden Boots will obviously be the three of Lee Chenglong competing with Lewandre and Kisling.
　　※※※
　　 After the league, the next is the Champions League midweek.
　　 March 5, the second round of the Champions League round of 16 match day.
　　 Since the first round has almost spent the game, this game is more like a cutscene.
At the Proud to Schalke Stadium, Huber Stevens arranged a relatively conservative formation, 4321 Christmas tree formation, arranged for Kanter, Jermaine Jones and Neustadt to play three midfielders. .
　　 Jackie Lee and Draxler played double midfielders together, Huntelaar played single forward.
　　 Such a formation is mainly to strengthen the defense. I hope that the team will win the game in a relatively relaxed way at home.
　　 Because after the Champions League, the second Ruhr Derby of the season is coming.
　　 You know, Schalke made a bet with Dortmund. If you can't double kill each other, you have to wear women's clothing to the streets.
　　Thanks to the fact that Scotland won enough away in the first round, otherwise too much energy was spent in this Champions League. The Ruhr Derby is really hard to say.
　　 In the fierce cheering of Schalke fans, Schalke 04 tried to compress the rhythm at home, focusing more on defense, and finally hit a 0:0 draw with the Celtics.
　　 But the 0:0 score does not affect the team's promotion, nor does it affect the fans' celebration.
　　 At the end of the game, Proud went to the Schalke Stadium and immediately fell into a boil. More than 60,000 fans shouted together.
　　 "Schalke~~~~Schalke!!!"
"At the end of the game, we congratulate Schalke 04 and congratulate them on their successful promotion to the Champions League quarter-finals this season. This is the first time they have reached the Champions League quarter-finals after two years, and it is also the fourth time they have reached the Champions League quarter-finals in team history. Strong."
　　 "Schalke has already advanced first, and then we will look at Dortmund and Bayern Munich."
　　 Schalke 04's Champions League results are indeed not outstanding, and he has only reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League three times before.
　　 Before the restructuring of the Champions League, Schalke 04 only participated in the Champions League once, and that time he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
　　 After the restructuring of the Champions League, Schalke reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League twice this season and this season.
　　 Now this time, it is naturally the fourth time.
　　 Schalke advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 4:0~EbookFREE.me~ and other UEFA Champions League matches in the middle of the week also ended.
　　 Dortmund returned to home and beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3:0 and advanced with a total score of 5:2.
　　 Paris Saint-Germain drew with Valencia 1:1 at home, with a total score of 3:2 to advance.
　　The focus of the most watched battle, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2:1 in the away game, defeating the opponent 3:2 and successfully advanced.
　　 So, Schalke 04, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, these four teams took the lead in qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals.
　　 The battle between Real Madrid and Manchester United is naturally indispensable for topics and controversy, especially when a red card appeared in the game.
　　 At Old Trafford, Manchester United had relied on Ramos' own goal to lead 1:0.
But in the 57th minute, Nani, known as Cristiano Ronaldo II, was sent off with a red card for dangerous moves. This directly changed the game. Then Real Madrid scored two goals with one more man, and Cristiano Ronaldo directly scored the overtake score. The goal helped Real Madrid win 2:1 away.
　　 The penalty for dangerous moves is inherently more subjective, and everyone can have different opinions.
　　 But no matter what, Manchester United has been eliminated.
　　 Now the Premier League has only one seedling Arsenal left, and they are still precarious. They have fallen behind 1:3 at home in the first leg, and I am afraid they will not be able to recover.
　　 If Arsenal are also out immediately, then there will be no team in the Premier League this season to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
