Chapter 248: De Bruyne

In the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke won Hamburg with three away goals. At the same time, in other games of this round, Bayern won 2-0 away against Borussia Borussia Borussia, Dortmund drew at home with Augsburg 2:2, Leverkusen The away game lost to Freiburg 2:3 and Wolfsburg lost 1:3 to Hannover 96 at home.
　　 The first round of the second half of the Bundesliga season was a constant upset. Except for Bayern and Schalke, the top six teams failed to win the game.
　　 So in the latest standings, Bayern has 44 points, Schalke 42 points, Bayer Leverkusen 37 points, Borussia Munchen has 33 points, Dortmund 31 points and Wolfsburg 30 points.
　　 During the winter break, Wolfsburg introduced De Bruyne at a record price of 22 million euros, but they did not expect them to lose in the first game of the second half of the season.
It is worth mentioning that Nuremberg, who had not won a game in the 17th round of the first half of the season, finally won in the first round of the second half of the season, and they were still Hoffen who had a 4-0 home win. Haim, this is a big upset.
　　 In the middle of the week after the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern carried out their 17th league make-up.
　　 Although there were some twists and turns in the game, Bayern defeated Stuttgart 2:1 away.
　　 In this case, Bayern has completed a 10-game winning streak in the Bundesliga, and at the same time opened the gap with Schalke to 5 points in the standings.
　　 Although Li Chenglong said before that the 5-point gap is not impossible to catch up, but in fact, with Bayern's current state of popularity, this way of non-stop winning streak, it is really difficult for Schalke to chase points.
　　※※※
　　 Sure enough, on February 1, the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern started the game first. They easily slaughtered Frankfurt 5:0 at the Allianz slaughterhouse.
　　 Now Bayern is really in excellent form. In the Bundesliga, it is simply pushing it all the way, no one can stop it.
　　 And this round of Schalke’s game was scheduled for the second day, and the opponents of the game were not simple. They just made up Wolfsburg during the winter break.
The current Wolfsburg lineup is really good, with De Bruyne and Perisic in the midfield, Bayern’s Gustavo in the midfielder, and the Swiss genius Ricardo at the left back position has not yet been scrapped due to injury. Rodríguez also has Brazilian defender Nardo at the central defender position. The Croatian veteran Olic is also good at the striker. He also completed a hat-trick in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago.
　　 In short, the current Wolfsburg lineup will definitely be able to accomplish a lot with a little adjustment.
　　 So at home, Schalke didn't play well.
　　 Just 9 minutes into the game, Hévédes collided with the opponent's Italian midfielder Calijuri in the scramble. This directly triggered Hévédés' injury hidden attributes and ended up injured.
　　 In fact, Hévedés is in a better situation this season. It took half a season before he suffered a first injury.
　　 However, the game has just begun, and the defensive core is injured. Stevens on the sidelines is still very angry, cursing a few words, and finally has to make a substitution, let Brazil defender Santana play.
　　 Santana was actually a Borussia Dortmund player last season, but he has been unable to play with the Hornets. In the summer, he cancelled his contract and joined Schalke 04.
But his luck is also relatively poor. I thought that Schalke had a long-term illness with Hévedés, and he could get a lot of performance opportunities. Not only did Hévédes have no injuries this season, but he also performed very well. Steady, Santana has never been able to get a chance to play, and it is no different from before in Dortmund.
　　 This time, he was able to play in the first 9 minutes. This is the league that Santana has the most time since joining Schalke.
　　Herveds was injured at the beginning of the game, which made Wolfsburg seem to be arrogantly going to Schalke to rebel, and he continued to attack Schalke's defense.
In the 21st minute, De Bruyne crossed the penalty area with a half-high kick from the right. The ball hit the front of Matip’s calf and almost bounced into the goal. This was created by Wolfsburg under the offensive. The biggest threat.
　　 "Calm down, everyone, concentrate, don't be scared by their offensive."
De Bruyne will look at the timing. As soon as Schalke has an important player injured, he immediately led the team to launch an offensive. It really made Schalke a little rushed, so Lee Chenglong had to gather the whole team. Let everyone be careful.
　　 After Schalke reacted and stabilized the situation, the threat of Wolfsburg immediately became much smaller, so the two teams began to see the offense and defense back and forth.
　　 In the 37th minute, Kanter interrupted De Bruyne's ball in midfield, and then Li Chenglong took the ball to form a breakthrough, passing Ricardo Rodríguez and then crossed.
　　 Kevin Boateng appeared in front of the goal, but his shooting was really not flattering. The opponent's defender Knoch interfered a little and he hit the ball into the stands.
　　 In this way, the two sides ended the first half with a score of 0:0, which was regarded as mutual tricks, but they did not find a chance.
　　 After the intermission, the two sides changed sides to fight again.
　　 The first few minutes of the second half were calm, but in the 53rd minute, Schalke took the lead to speed up the pace.
Gretzka made a wall kick with Kanter in the midfield, and then stuffed the ball to Li Chenglong. Li Chenglong picked up the ball and accelerated and got rid of the opponent's midfielder Kali Zhuri. He was about to hop the ball into the penalty area, and the opponent reached out in desperation. A pull, pulled Li Chenglong down.
　　 "Penalty~~Penalty!!" Stevens jumped on the sidelines and shouted.
　　 The referee Stark hesitated, and instead of giving a penalty, he gave a free kick from the penalty area line, which made the fans extremely unhappy.
　　 But then the referee's action immediately caused the fans to cheer again, because he took out a yellow card to Kalijuri.
　　 Kali Zuri had a yellow card in the first half when he injured Hévides, and now he has a second one, which is to be sent off.
　　 In this way, with Li Chenglong's dribbling breakthrough, Schalke finally gained a numerical advantage.
In the next free kick, because it was on the penalty area line, Li Chenglong tried his best to make the ball fly over the wall in an arc, but because the distance was too close, the ball couldn't fly back after passing the wall, and finally flew out. Beyond the bottom line.
　　 But this has little effect. With a numerical advantage, Schalke quickly broke the deadlock.
　　 In the 62nd minute ~EbookFREE.me~ Gretzka made a breakthrough with the ball in the midfield, and then passed the high ball to Huntelaar on the left side of the penalty area.
　　 Huntelaar greeted the ball and returned the top of the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Li Chenglong slapped his horse and rushed to pad with his right foot, and the ball was put into the opponent's goal.
　　 Li Chenglong broke the deadlock, and Wolfsburg still wanted to struggle, but in the 76th minute, Kevin Boateng scored a powerful long shot and broke the opponent's goal again.
　　 Boateng is not good at shooting, but every game is fixed on three or four feet, almost all long shots.
　　 His long-range shots are not accurate, but there is a feature, enough power, as long as he hits the goal range, it is a great threat.
　　 Schalke led Wolfsburg 2:0, but the opponent still made a final resistance.
　　 In the 84th minute, De Bruyne created a corner kick by passing the ball. Then he took the corner and successfully found his teammate Arnold and assisted the opponent with a header.
　　 But then Stevens continuously replaced defensive players, and did not give the opponent any more chances.
　　 In this way, Schalke defeated Wolfsburg 2:1 at home, and the game was not easy at all.
　　 With De Bruyne, the backbone of the wolf fort, the combat effectiveness has indeed increased a lot.
　　 After the game, Jackie Lee also expressed his consolation to De Bruyne, who performed well: "We are lucky to win this game. I believe you have a great chance of reaching the top four."
