Chapter 182: Earth Defense (1)


At the end of the national team game day, the next is the final sprint stage of the major leagues, a critical period for determining the final results of the season.
Unfortunately, on the Bundesliga side, due to Bayern's strength, the Bundesliga champions have long been out of suspense.
On March 30, the 27th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Hoffenheim at home.
The current Hoffenheim is the standard relegation team, ranking 17th in the Bundesliga.
Although it will be the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals soon in midweek, Schalke 04 still arranged for all the main players to play in this game.
Because the Champions League quarter-finals were drawn by the Universe team Barcelona, ​​Stevens also lacked confidence and didn't think his team could eliminate the opponent.
In the Proud to Schalke Stadium, Li Chenglong scored twice in the first half, and the Finnish striker Puki scored another goal in the second half. Schalke 04 easily won Huo Cun at home 3:0.
In other games of this round, Dortmund beat Stuttgart 2:1 away, Leverkusen defeated Dusseldorf 4:1 away, and even Frankfurt, who recently lost points in a row, defeated Fürth 3:2 away.
But the most exaggerated is Bayern, they slaughtered Hamburg crazy at home 9:2.
Allianz Slaughterhouse, that really deserves its reputation.
In the Bundesliga standings after this round, Bayern has 72 points, Schalke 54 points, Dortmund 52 points, Leverkusen 48 points and Frankfurt 42 points.
According to the points, Bayern currently leads the second-placed Schalke by 18 points, and they can win the championship early in the next round as soon as possible.
And Frankfurt is obviously going to fall behind, Schalke 04 leads them by 12 points, so there is no need to worry about the Champions League qualification.
Therefore, for Schalke 04 today, it is to play the Champions League as much as possible, and to fight for the German Cup.
In this round of the game, both Li Chenglong and Kisling scored twice, and Lewandre scored a goal.

After the league, the next quarter is the Champions League.
This season, three Bundesliga teams have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the first leg of the game, the Ruhr duo will be away from Spain, while Bayern will host the old woman.
German Sports Television has set a goal for each of the three German teams that will levy the Champions League.
"According to the current situation, it should be no problem for the extremely strong Bayern to win Juventus at home. The only thing to pay attention to is not to let the opponent score an away goal."
"As long as Dortmund plays normally in the away game and does not lose, then they can return to the Westfare Stadium and win the game in one fell swoop."
"The only thing worrying about is Schalke 04. They faced the Cosmos team Barcelona in the quarterfinals. They were a guest at the Nou Camp in the first round. They are very likely to lose. The only thing they can do is to try not to lose on the away game. Too much."
"As long as they don't lose too much away, they still have a chance to return to the home court."
"No matter what the final result is, we should bless these three teams."
"This season, three Bundesliga teams have reached the Champions League quarter-finals, and they have not met each other in the quarter-finals. This has given us an opportunity. For the first time, there may be three Bundesliga teams reaching the Champions League semi-finals."
In the 97/98 UEFA Champions League, although three Bundesliga teams entered the Champions League quarter-finals at that time, in the quarter-finals Bayern had a direct encounter with Dortmund. It is impossible for three teams to enter the semi-finals together.
In fact, that year Bayern and Dortmund were out of the quarterfinals after they directly met in the quarterfinals. Leverkusen also lost to Real Madrid, the final champion of the year, in the quarterfinals. Only Dortmund made the semifinals.
And in the history of the Champions League, not to mention three Bundesliga teams entering the Champions League semi-finals together, but two of them entering the semi-finals, they have never appeared before.

Schalke 04 faces Barcelona and is considered an absolutely weak side.
However, Jackie Lee thinks this matchup is quite good. First of all, the attention of the game will be very large. Unlike the last 16 against the Celtics, Schalke 04 easily won the game with a big score, but did not get much. Pay attention, because everyone thinks that it is a pecking at each other, and it doesn't matter what the result is.
And in the face of Barcelona, ​​even if you lose the game, you will not be blamed. Others will think that the loss is justified, because it is the Universe team.
And once they have achieved good results against Barcelona, ​​they will immediately get a lot of attention, and it can even be said to attract the attention of the world.
The most important thing is that Li Chenglong knows that now this Barcelona, ​​which has the name of the universe team, is actually going downhill a long time ago. It is not an invincible universe team at all.
Therefore, the situation of Schalke 04 is not as pessimistic as the German media imagined. Schalke has a chance to win a blog.
Give it a try, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.
So before leaving for Spain, Lee Chenglong was not pessimistic when facing media interviews.
"Barcelona is really strong and Messi is also the top player, but we don't need to be afraid."
"Football is not a game where the strong wins, but a game where the winner is strong."
"Only the team that wins in the end will be recognized. There have been many football matches where the weak beat the strong. Why can't we be the next one?"
In addition to Jackie Lee, there are people who are not afraid of Barcelona, ​​and that is the big-mouth chairman Tenis.
He was more confident than Jackie Lee in front of the media~EbookFREE.me~ In fact, I am very happy to be drawn to Barcelona. This is a good opportunity for our revenge. "
"We are currently the unbeaten team in the Champions League, but Barcelona have already lost two games. They should be the one to be afraid of."
Regardless of whether Tenis’ confidence is pretended, or really stupid and bold, this time is just right to boost the morale of the team.
So far this season, Schalke 04's results in the Champions League are 5 wins, 3 draws and remain unbeaten. There are only three teams that are still unbeaten. The other two are Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
And Schalke 04 and Barcelona have met once and only once in the European War. It was the Champions League in the 07/08 season, and it happened to be the quarter-finals. It was the first time Schalke reached the quarter-finals after the restructuring of the Champions League. But in the quarterfinals, they were eliminated by Barcelona's home and away games 1:0.
So if Schalke 04 can really eliminate the opponent this time, it is indeed revenge.

On April 1, April Fool's Day, also on this day, the Schalke team set off from Dusseldorf and caught a flight to Barcelona.
Schalke 04 needs to go one day in advance to prepare for the Earth Defense War against the Space Team’s Earth Defense War.
From Barcelona Airport, there were not too many Barcelona fans "pick-up" at the scene. Instead, there were many Schalke fans who arrived in Spain in advance. They cheered for the entire Schalke team at the airport.
It seems that Barcelona fans also feel that in the face of the cannon fodder Schalke, there is no need to do those interference actions, anyway, they are winning.
If faced with a team at the level of Real Madrid and Bayern, Barcelona fans would definitely not dare to be so calm.
This is just convenient for Schalke to prepare for the game without interference.
