After completing the Bundesliga's seven-game winning streak, Schalke is about to prepare for the next round of the league.
In the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went to an away game against Bayern Munich.
As Schalke is 5 points behind Bayern, this is not a first game, but it can be regarded as a battle of life and death for Schalke.
The German media have hyped up this game in recent days.
If Schalke loses to Bayern in the away game, everything will stop and watch the opponent complete the Bundesliga 15-game winning streak. At the same time, the points gap is opened to 8 points, and then Schalke may be difficult to compete with Bayern.
If Schalke drew with Bayern in the away game, it would be pretty good. To end the opponent's winning streak, while continuing to hold Bayern, it depends on whether they make a mistake.
If Schalke can beat Bayern in an away game, it will not only be able to kill Bayern in a season three and complete the Bundesliga eight-game winning streak, but also chase the points gap to 2 points, within a game.
If that's the case, then the Bundesliga championship this season's battle may be entering a fierce stage.
※※※
On the morning of March 1, the entire Schalke team came to Munich to prepare for the league tonight.
Schalke and Bayern have played against each other more in the past two seasons, and the two sides have won each other's wins and losses. Now the two teams are really bitter.
Schalke’s bus just appeared in Munich and was immediately surrounded by Bayern fans.
The fans made all kinds of disturbances around the bus. This is a common occurrence between teams. It is not scary at all, but it is very cute.
For example, a fat man ran to the bus and took off his pants, leaking a bare facing Schalke's bus, causing everyone in the bus to laugh.
But Bayern fans will feel that this will allow Schalke's team to miss their heads when they shoot tonight, as if they were head down.
At 6:30 p.m. local time in Germany, this focus war officially began.
"At present, Bayern has completed 14 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga, and Schalke has also completed seven consecutive victories. This is a collision between 14 consecutive victories and seven consecutive victories. I don't know whose winning streak will be lost tonight. End, or both sides will be ended."
"Bayern is a 14-game winning streak, and they are playing at home. They should be the more dominant side."
"But on the other hand, Bayern has only lost three games so far this season. Except for the gross loss to Manchester City in the Champions League, Bayern lost to Schalke in the other two games. "
"If you look at it this way, Schalke can also be called a Bayern nemesis, and Bayern can never be said to be a sure win."
The commentator said the same, and the two teams are also on the court.
Schalke is still 442 formation, but with some minor adjustments.
Greek defender Papadopoulos got the chance to start and replaced Santana. The Brazilian hasn’t had much performance in the recent starting games.
There is also Draxler's return from injury, replacing Neustedt in the starting lineup.
Apart from that, the other positions have basically not changed.
Bayern has a 4141 formation. They have Ribery and Thomas Muller absent due to injury, and Lahm and Boateng take a break. This game is played by Rafinha at right back, Harvey Martin Nath went to hit the center back.
When the game started, Schalke took the initiative to launch an offensive.
Stevens arranged Draxler, Kevin Boateng, Gretzka and Kanter as the starting midfielders today, just to strengthen the offensive and compete against Bayern at the Allianz Arena.
I didn't expect the effect to be very good, and it would be rewarding at the beginning.
Only 3 minutes into the game, Li Chenglong made a two-to-one match with Draxler in front of the penalty area, and then immediately took a high ball and passed it diagonally to the left of the penalty area.
The starting Bayern right-back Rafinha may have not yet entered the state at the beginning, and was easily thrown away by Gretzka and rushed in, heading for the ball and heading the ball into the Bayern goal.
"It was a little unexpected. The game has just begun. Schalke made a fantastic start at the Allianz Arena. This may be something many people did not expect before the game."
It is indeed a bit unexpected. Although Schalke has played well recently, most people think that it will basically not be a big problem for Bayern, which is in the hot cosmic team, to win Schalke.
But now it is Schalke who has made an excellent start.
Schalke’s goal gave him the opportunity, but it also inspired the state of the Bayern team, which directly opened the curtain of the goal battle.
In the 11th minute, Bayern relied on a corner kick opportunity and Mandzukic completed a header to tie the score.
Papadopoulos's performance is not much better than Santana, Schalke's central defender combination is still only the partners of Hévedes and Matip, which can be considered to be acceptable.
After scored, Bayern took advantage of the momentum to continue the attack, 4 minutes later you directly reversed the score.
Goeze sent a through ball, Robben successfully caught the ball against offside and scored.
"Stay steady, don't panic!!" Bayern's offensive was like a wave. Stevens on the sidelines was anxious and stood on the sidelines and shouted.
Stevens's shouting made Schalke a little steady, but in the end he couldn't resist it.
In the 39th minute, Alaba passed Uchida and sent a precise cross. Mandzukic's header was saved by Navas, but Robben followed up with a supplementary shot, Navas could no longer do anything.
In this way, Schalke made a dream start, but lost three consecutive goals in the first half and returned to the locker room with a score of 1:3.
"This is not a warm-up match, why are you so polite, be cruel to them, we must not just admit defeat!!" Stevens turned on the hair dryer mode during the intermission.
After Bayern's momentum gained in the first half, Schalke did play very badly, especially on defense, basically in a state of being blown up.
So at the beginning of the second half, Schalke stepped up the press and intensified physical confrontation. This is indeed effective for Bayern, who currently focuses on technical flow control.
In the 52nd minute, Li Chenglong grabbed Goetze's ball and hit a straight pass. Huntelaar inserted his right foot in the back row and shot it well, but Neuer threw it out bravely.
In the 56th minute, after Li Chenglong passed Schweinsteiger in the frontcourt, a low shot from the penalty area was very powerful, but the ball hit the post.
Schalke stepped up the pressure in the second half and continued to exert force, basically suppressing Bayern.
Football matches are like this, turn-based, you come and I attack each other, now it's Schalke's turn to play.
In the 63rd minute, Atsushi Uchida sent a cross. Li Chenglong fought for a point on Dante's head, but instead of directly attacking the goal, he flicked the ball to ferry, and Huntelaar followed up with a kick. , Neuer, who had long been attracted by Li Chenglong's attention, could not do anything.
Immediately after the 67th minute, Li Chenglong broke through Thiago in front of the penalty area. After being intercepted by Harvey Martinez, he chose to quickly pass back.
Rafinha stretched his foot near the penalty spot and blocked the ball directly into his goal.
"Own goal~~~ Rafinha’s own goal!!!"
"Schalke equalized the score, they scored two goals in 4 minutes, and straightened the score."
"I knew this game would not end like this, and Schalke would never give up like this!"
In 4 minutes, Lee Chenglong made an own goal and an assist, and finally helped Schalke equalize the score~EbookFREE.me~ Actually, the opening blitz was also Lee Chenglong’s assist. He actually made three goals. .
Schalke continued to score goals, this time it was Guardiola's turn to shout anxiously on the sidelines.
Guardiola's shouts helped Bayern stabilize the situation, and both sides were in peace for the next ten minutes.
Seeing that the time is about to enter 80 minutes, Stevens started the substitution, and Fox played for Gretzka.
Gretzka came to the Allianz Arena for the first time and seemed to be a little unwilling to let go. Except for the opening match by Rafinila's mistake, he missed a goal by mistake, and then there was no performance.
So Stevens replaced him, let Fox play to strengthen the defense, ready to keep this 3:3 score.
With the two sides stable at present, it is very difficult for Schalke to have a chance to lore Bayern. On the contrary, Bayern has a greater chance to lore Schalke. It is better to consider the actual score.
Although a tie will end Schalke's winning streak, Bayern's winning streak will also be ended.
is also a broken winning streak. The fourteen streak being ended will definitely have more impact than the seven streak, so Schalke is acceptable.
And after this round of the game, Bayern will continue to play against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, neither of which can be easily won.
Now that the opposing team's winning streak is ended, if Bayern does not adjust properly, they might make mistakes and lose points on those two teams, and then Schalke has a chance.
