The national team came back from match day and soon it was the Bundesliga again.
, the ninth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went away to challenge the newly promoted Brunswick.
Because the opponent is currently the bottom-ranked newly promoted horse in the Bundesliga, and Schalke's tight schedule is coming next week.
Next week, Schalke will first go to England to challenge Arsenal in the middle of the week, and then rush back to China to play the first Ruhr derby of the season with the Hornets at the weekend.
Two consecutive games are tough, so Stevens hopes that the team can win Brunswick at a relatively small price.
So in the away game, after Schalke took a 3:1 lead, Stevens began to substitute, and successively replaced both Li Chenglong and Kevin Boateng to rest.
But I didn't expect Brunswick to get a goal soon, and then continue to attack, trying to equalize the score as much as possible, grab points and relegation.
This resulted in Schalke playing quite passive away in the last ten minutes, especially when Kanter was exhausted.
Fortunately, the opponent's attacking ability was indeed insufficient, and Schalke finally won the game with a breathtaking 3:2.
In other Bundesliga matches, Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen have all won, so the top four in the Bundesliga standings still remain unchanged.

After winning the promotion, Schalke is about to prepare for the next Champions League match with Arsenal.
This is Schalke's encounter with Arsenal in the Champions League group stage for two consecutive seasons, and it is also very topical.
And most importantly, the current stars of both teams are very topical.
The relationship between Jackie Lee and Arsenal is naturally well-known throughout European football.
As for the current Arsenal star Ozil, many people may not know that although he is of Turkish origin, he is a standard Gelsenkirchen. He was born and raised in Gelsenkirchen, and later joined him. The Schalke youth academy.
But in 2008, 19-year-old Özil chose to transfer to Werder Bremen because he could not get a chance to perform at Schalke.
During the two and a half seasons in Werder Bremen, Özil quickly grew into a famous star in the Bundesliga and was also selected for the German national team.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Özil shined brightly. With this opportunity, he successfully joined Real Madrid and became a famous star in European football.
After moving to Arsenal this summer, Özil also performed well and soon became Arsenal's head star and a thigh-level figure.
Schalke’s thigh, Jackie Lee, is closely related to Arsenal, and Arsenal’s thigh, Ozil, is also closely related to Schalke.
So, the two teams currently have an interlocking relationship in their star players.
, at the Emirates Stadium in London, Schalke’s away game against Arsenal has officially started.
Since the start of the new season, as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have experienced more or less turmoil after the change of coaches, Arsenal seized the opportunity to perform well and currently ranks first in the Premier League.
So now this Arsenal, in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, is completely different from the same period last season. It is absolutely impossible for Schalke to win a 3-0 away game.
In the away scene, Schalke played more conservatively against a morale top Arsenal.
Throughout the first half, the two teams played well, but overall Arsenal played at home with a small advantage, but neither side found a chance to score.
During the intermission, Stevens also gave instructions and he allowed the team to continue to be conservative in the second half.
Gunners at home are very difficult to do, and it’s not bad to be able to score an away point.
If you can score a point at the Emirates Stadium, return to the home court and defeat them with all your strength.
In those two rounds facing Arsenal, they scored four points, and they were able to beat each other's record. This would be an ideal result.
In the second half, Schalke's team also implemented this tactic very well and continued to be conservative.
But football is round, anything can happen.
In the 78th minute, Ramsey shot a world wave with a long shot from outside the penalty area, and thus killed Schalke.
Lee Chenglong had also suffered a lore before, but those were relatively ordinary games. This was the first time he was killed in an important game like the Champions League. It was somewhat sour.
But as Stevens said after the game, this is just a group stage. A small loss to Arsenal in the away game is acceptable to Schalke.
The game was over, and Li Chenglong went to the sideline to hug the gray-haired Wenger.
"Arsena, happy birthday!"
Today is Wenger’s 64th birthday. Many Arsenal fans in the stadium put up banners to bless Wenger. Li Chenglong and Wenger are also acquaintances, so naturally they have to come forward and give two wishes.
The Gunners won the game at home, which is also a birthday gift from the whole Arsenal team to Wenger.
"Thank you, Bruce." Wenger patted Li Chenglong on the back and said, "You performed very ordinary today. We won one game first."
"Don't be too happy, we will go back and get ready, and we will go to Schalke to wait for Arsenal."

Schalke was killed in the away game, losing to Arsenal 0:1, and at the same time in another match of the same group, Naples won the Marseille 3:2 at home.
So in the current group of deaths, Arsenal ranked first with 9 points in three consecutive victories, Naples ranked second with 2 wins and 1 loss with 6 points, Schalke ranked third with 1 win, 2 losses and 3 points, and Marseille lost all three games Ranked bottom.
As far as the current situation is concerned, ~EbookFREE.me~ Schalke's ranking is not ideal, and he is in a disadvantageous situation in the death group.
However, on the flight back to Germany, Stevens analyzed for the team: "Although the current qualifying situation is unfavorable, the next schedule is very beneficial to us."
"We will have three more rounds next. One round is to challenge Marseille on the road. At present, Marseille has lost three games in a row and it has almost collapsed. It is not a big problem to win away games."
"The other is to fight Arsenal and Naples separately. Both games are very important, but we are all at home and we have the home court advantage."
"Since this season, we have been in excellent form at the Schalke Stadium, and we have maintained a complete victory at home. Even if we face a strong team like Bayern twice, we have never lost too many points at home, so we just need to take out In the state they should have, they can definitely win Arsenal and Naples at home."
"In other words, in the next three rounds of the group stage, we have a high probability of winning three straight."
"After those three consecutive victories, our points will come to 12 points. You must know that in the history of the Champions League, no team has scored 12 points and cannot qualify for the group."
Stevens is indeed right. Although Schalke looks dangerous, as long as they win Arsenal and Naples at home, and then go to the away game to get three points from Marseille, the team's group qualifying is not a problem. of.
But if you still want to fight for the first place in the group, you may need to win as much as possible when defeating Arsenal and Naples, and have a good relationship.
