Chapter 158: Unbeaten record


In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 drew with Arsenal at home, failing to allow Arsenal to find a chance to revenge, and in another match at the same time, Olympiacos defeated Montpellier 31 at home.
   After four rounds of the Champions League group, Schalke ranked first, Arsenal ranked second with 7 points, and Olympiacos ranked third with 6 points.
   Montpellier, the Ligue 1 champion, was eliminated two rounds early after losing four straight in the group stage.
  Ligue 1 teams have always had poor results in the European competition. This is a real experience.
   For the moment, Schalke points, the qualifying situation is very good, and it is basically no problem to win the group first.
   Olympiacos scored 6 points by double-killing Montpellier and is already threatening Arsenal.
   Fortunately, Arsenal scored a point for Schalke 04. If they are double-killed, they might be forced out of the group stage by this Greek team.
   And the other two German teams in this round of the Champions League also performed well. Dortmund drew with Real Madrid in 22 away games and achieved a home win against Real Madrid. Then there is a high probability that Real Madrid will be the first in the group.
   Bayern defeated Lille 61 at home. The 34-year-old Pizarro completed a hat-trick and became the oldest hat-trick player in the history of the Champions League.
   It is worth mentioning that Lille, the French Ligue 1 team, also lost their four-game losing streak in the Champions League group stage.
   Two of the three Champions League teams in the Ligue 1 are out of the four-game losing streak in the group stage. Only one big Paris is still struggling to support it. No wonder the Ligue 1 has been surpassed by the Portuguese Super League in the European Championship.
   This week's Champions League can be described as an upset, the biggest upset is the so-called Cosmos Barcelona, ​​they went to the away game 12 to lose to the Celtics Super League team.
  Although this is only a group match, this defeat will not affect Barcelona's group qualifying, but it is still quite surprising. At least many people who play gambling may want to scold Barcelona for stupid coins.
   In addition to Barcelona, ​​the other two upsets are from the Premier League.
The defending Premier League champions Manchester City drew with Ajax 22 at home. At present, they only scored 2 points in the four rounds of the group stage. Then they want to enter the knockout stage. That basically only exists in theory. Manchester City probably still has that 100 points. A few tenths of a probability to make it to the knockout.
  Before the start of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City is considered the fourth favourite to win the Champions League after Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester United.
   But this seems to be the tradition of Manchester City. Every year it looks like a strong lineup. Before the start of the Champions League, they looked very high in the championship rankings, but in the end they played a mess.
   Another upset outside of Manchester City is the Champions League defending champion Chelsea, who defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 32 at home.
   Chelsea's win is certainly not an upset, but Chelsea only narrowly won by 32, which is an upset.
  Because the two teams played in the first leg, Chelsea lost 12 to Shakhtar Donetsk in the away game, and now they only win a 32 at home. The Blues will be at a disadvantage in terms of winning due to fewer away goals.
   In the next round of the group stage, Shakhtar Donetsk went to an away game against the Danish team North Sealand, which had already been eliminated, while Chelsea was going to an away game against Juventus.
   As long as Shakhtar Donetsk wins, Chelsea and Juventus will be very dangerous.
   In the battle between Juventus and Chelsea, it is difficult for the losing team to qualify for the team, especially for Juventus at home. As long as they lose, they will be out immediately, and there is no room for maneuver.
   I have to say that Shakhtar Donetsk is the biggest dark horse in this year's UEFA Champions League group stage. When they are divided into a group with Juventus and Chelsea, they are forced to fight each other.
   Chelsea have been in bad shape since the beginning of the season. If they lose to Juventus away, they may not be able to qualify for the Champions League group stage this year.
   In the history of the Champions League, there has never been a defending champion who could not qualify for a group stage.

   On November 10, the 11th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Werder Bremen at home.
   If it were ten years ago, Bremen was still a very competitive team. At that time, they ranked in the top three of the Bundesliga for five consecutive seasons, and also won the German domestic double crown in four seasons.
   But Bremen has no competitiveness in the last two years. It is basically a middle and lower Bundesliga team.
   Although Bremen is not very competitive, the core of their team, Kevin De Bruyne, is a very competitive player.
   This summer, Bremen borrowed from Chelsea the unplayable Belgian midfielder De Bruyne, and he quickly became the core player of the team.
Speaking of which is similar to Jackie Lee’s rapid rise in Schalke 04, De Bruyne is also one of the current Bundesliga stars who have quickly become popular, but Jackie Lee was bought by Schalke 04 at a high price, and De Bruyne is not good. May was loaned back from Chelsea, and there is no buyout clause yet.
   However, in this game, neither Jackie Lee nor De Bruyne had much outstanding performance.
   The core players of both sides performed averagely, so Schalke 04 relied on the overall strength to win the game.
   Draxler and Neustedt each scored a goal in the first half to help Schalke 04 lead with two goals.
   Bremen midfielder Hunter pulled back a goal in the second half, but it was limited to this.
   In the end, Schalke 04 won Werder Bremen 21 at home and scored three points smoothly.
   At the end of the game, Proud went to the Schalke Stadium again and fell into a boil, the cheers in the stadium seemed to overturn the stadium.
   "Schalke 04, they set another unbeaten record in team history. Their cross-season unbeaten has come to two games unbeaten. This is their new record in team history."
   "Let us congratulate them, they have created a new history for the team."
   The German commentator chanted his blessings, and the fans on the scene cheered and celebrated, as if they had won the championship.
   20 games unbeaten, this record is indeed much better.
   Although it's far behind Bayern's 30 or 40 unbeaten games, for Schalke 04, a Bundesliga strong team, 20 unbeaten games is pretty good.
However, the German commentator finally said: "Although Schalke's undefeated record has reached 20 games, the next two rounds of the league, their test is coming. They will face Leverkusen and Frankfurt in a row. It is a direct competitor ~EbookFREE.me~ It is very likely that their unbeaten record will end on these two opponents."
   This is indeed the case. In the next two rounds of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 needs to face Leverkusen and Frankfurt in a row, with a Champions League game in between, which may be the time when the unbeaten record is ended.
   In this round of Bundesliga, Schalke 04 and Bayern's game were played at the same time.
   Bayern defeated the super newly promoted Frankfurt on the home scene, won the game with a score of 20, and continued to overtake Schalke's 04 ranking by one point.
   And Bayern’s goal time came earlier than Schalke, so this round of the game Schalke 04 still did not make it to the capital for a minute.
It has been two rounds for Schalke 04 to chase the points gap with Bayern by one point, but the last round of Bayern’s game was played first. This round started at the same time and scored later than the opponent. Schalke 04 always missed the top spot. .
   And this round of the game not only Frankfurt lost, but also Leverkusen lost.
   So Dortmund defeated Augsburg 31 in an away game and returned to the top four.
   Bayern currently has 28 points, Schalke 27 points, Frankfurt 20 points, Dortmund 19 points and Leverkusen 18 points.
   Bayern and Schalke 04 became the obvious first group, Frankfurt, Dortmund and Leverkusen became the second group.
   But how long Schalke 04 can bite Bayern is unknown. After all, in terms of overall strength and lineup depth, Schalke 04 is completely inferior to Bayern.
