Chapter 285: A Dream Start

The emotional gossip of a star may be able to attract everyone's attention before the game starts, but when the game is about to start, the football 'fans' will naturally return their attention to the game.

In the first leg of the match, there were some skirmishes, which also led to the confrontation between Schalke and Wolfsburg, and after that game, the media talked about the story between Schalke and Wolfsburg, which will also become a new feud story in the Bundesliga. In fact, Wolfsburg will have a lot of opponents in the future, which is almost destined, when Wolfsburg set the goal of the Champions League qualification or even the league title, it is destined that this new force of the Bundesliga will meet Schalke, Stuttgart, Bremen and Bayern Munich and other traditional forces of the Bundesliga There is a great contradiction. The cake is so big, and suddenly someone comes and wants a piece of the pie, which will definitely cause new contradictions.

When Yang Fan's name was read out on the radio, the Wolfsburg fans in the stands of the away team's 'fans' who went to Schalke Stadium let out a huge cheer, and they chanted Yang Fan's name over and over again, but their cheers were quickly suppressed by the home team's Schalke fans'.

In the stands of the Schalke Stadium, there is a figure, this person is Galatasaray coach Michael Elskibe, his team will be a guest at the Volkswagen Arena next week, he came to Germany to watch Wolfsburg's game, on the one hand, to observe Wolfsburg's current state up close, in addition, if Schalke can win this game, then some of the home team's tactics can also provide some reference for Galatasaray.

After the figure of Michael Elskibe appeared on the big screen, the whole stadium erupted in huge boos, not only the Wolfsburg football 'fans' booing Galatasaray's head coach, but also the home team's Schalke football 'fans' booing this person. The experience of the Wolfsburg players and the football fans in Istanbul caused the whole of Germany to be bitter, and even the Schalke fans, who had a bad relationship with Wolfsburg, booed the Turks.

"It is clear that in terms of disliking the Turks, the Wolfsburg and the Schalks have a common language. Hans, the narrator, said with a smile.

Schalke have been in a similar situation this season to one of his main rivals, Werder Bremen, who have had a period of low 'confusion' at the start of the season, leaving the team behind the big teams. However, in the second half of the first half of the season, he gradually regained his form. Several German players contributed to the team, Ernst and Jones combined the double midfielder to protect the back line, Westmann played quite well in the central defender position, and the youngster Rakitic was once 'glamorous', but it still needs to be sharpened. Raphinha and Bordon, two Brazilians, were also the pillars of the team and played well in the second half of the first half of the season. Among the other players, Kobiaswili is an important figure in the team, but has been absent for a long time. Altentop Jr. is completely 'lost', and even more 'lost' than him is the injured Lowenkolanz. Hanks gave a succinct overview of the home side Schalke so far this season before the game.

"As the only Bundesliga team to reach the last 16 of this season's Champions League, Schalke clearly have more pressure to bear. Due to the limited strength of the substitutes, Schalke rarely made a large rotation in the first half of the league and Champions League. In order to solve this problem, the team brought in Streit, who has been outstanding this season, from Eintracht Frankfurt during the winter break, and the addition of this right midfielder will greatly strengthen Schalke's attacking ability on the right side. Another newcomer, who has just been brought in from the Brazilian league, has yet to be tested, and in the two games after the winter break, Ze Roberto has not been given many appearances, and it is not known if it will be worth his worth of three million. In addition to these, due to the shortage of strikers, Schalke has played a single striker tactic many times, which is actually a helpless move by coach Slomka, and it is an indisputable fact that Schalke needs a 'good' striker to partner with Kuranyi. At the same time, the midfield has been a bit overdone, especially with the addition of two more midfielders and a rising midfielder, Kogna. Mesut Ozil, who had previously refused to renew his contract with the club, has been linked with Arsenal, and there is evidence that the London coach who likes to poach young stars will make a move on Ozil in the summer. As runners-up last year, Schalke will clearly not be happy with their current position and will be looking to finish better in the Champions League while continuing to push for at least a top-three finish in the league to secure a place in next season's Champions League. "And for Schalke's goal of hitting the bottom three in the top three, this match against Wolfsburg, who are second in the league, will be crucial. ”

The big screen in the stadium showed the starting line-ups for today's game:

Schalke (――):

'Goalkeeper': - Neuer;

Backline: Raphinha, Westermann, Bordon, Howedes;

Midfielders: Jones, Ernst, Rakitic, Bayramovich;

Forward line: - Kuranyi, - Lovekrantz;

Wolfsburg (-);

'Goalkeeper': Benagrio;

Defenders: Merler, Ricardo Costa, Madelen, Schaefer;

Midfielders: Josue, Boateng, Santana, Marin;

Forwards: Yang Fan, Zheke;

Amid the cheers of the Schalke Stadium, the players lined up to play.

Then there is a handshake with each other, the captains of both sides guess the coin, pick the edges, and take a group photo.

With the referee's whistle, the game began.

Schalke manager Slomka stood on the sidelines as he watched the changes in his opponents today. Compared with Wolfsburg's previous relatively fixed formation in the league in the first half of the season, Wolfsburg's starting lineup in the second half of the season has changed a lot, first of all, the Argentine midfielder Santana, who had a good schedule last season, returned to the starting lineup, and in addition, Josue and Marin, the two Wolfsburg reinforcements during the winter break, have been reused. Marcelinho and 'Monteanu', two players who were introduced in the transfer market last summer, have been left in the cold. In a way, Magath really changed his mind very quickly.

In addition, there is another change in today's game, that is, the Swiss international 'goal' Benagrio started to replace the 'goalkeeper' Yanqi, who had been in the starting position before.

Of course, no matter how Wolfsburg changes, one thing will not change, that is, Yang Fan is the absolute core of this team!

※※※※※※※

Slomka frowned, because, the madness of the Wolfsburg people after the start of the game was the game he did not expect, Schalke is at home, and when it comes to the strength of the team, Schalke is even stronger than Wolfsburg, according to Slomka's pre-game judgment, Wolfsburg will adopt defensive counterattack tactics away from home, but it is obviously not this way after the game starts.

At the beginning of the game, it was the Schalke team who kicked off, and it stands to reason that the Schalke team should make good use of this opportunity to control the football at their feet, and then launch a 'wave' and 'wave' continuous offensive to threaten Wolfsburg's big 'goal', strive for the first goal, and take advantage of the home field to win this direct rival for the top three.

But. Before they could get close to Wolfsburg's goal, they were intercepted by Boateng and Josue combined. In this game, Boateng will be called upon to focus more defensively and he will need to provide assistance to Josue.

After seeing Josue take the ball. Ernst immediately rushed forward, intending to intercept it. Before the game, Slomka stressed to his players that in the current Wolfsburg team, the new Brazilian Josue is the brains of the team's midfield, the game's offensive and defensive converter. Josue's team plays the same role as Andrea Pirlo did for Milan, and if Josue's midfield can be contained, Wolfsburg's midfield will be paralyzed, and Wolfsburg's attacking ability will be greatly reduced.

Josue saw Ernst lunge at him. He passed the football to Boateng, who was not far away.

Boateng didn't stop the ball and went straight to the wing.

Marin, who received the ball, seemed to have turned on the acceleration mode, and he began to accelerate and sprint along the wing.

Hovides was just pressing out to assist, but he hadn't returned to the penalty area at this time, and when he saw Marin rushing forward with the ball, he immediately slashed over.

Seeing that he had attracted Hovidez's attention, Marin shook his ankle, and the football returned to the feet of Santana, who had been following him all the time, who did not dribble the ball, but directly hit a through ball, and Yang Fan raised his hand in front of him to ask for the ball.

Almost at the same time as Santana passed the ball to Yang Fan. Westermann also moved. Like a cheetah, he pounced on Yang Fan, who was about to catch the ball. He was going to break the ball at the same time as Boateng received it. At that time, Yang Fan's foothold was not stable, and it was an opportunity to break the ball.

※※※※※※※

"Westermann stepped forward to defend Boateng, what a beauty!" the commentator Hanks roared excitedly.

At the same time as Yang Fan pounced on Westman, he suddenly pushed the football with the arch of his foot, and the football obediently rolled forward, rolling forward between Westerman's two 'legs', and almost at the same time, Yang Fan began to accelerate forward to chase the ball.

The media said that the tall Westermann's turn was not slow, but this 'not slow' was relative to many traditional German central defenders, not that Westermann's turn was fast. Therefore, in the face of the faster Yang Fan after piercing his crotch, Westman turned around in shock and wanted to chase after him, he was already a few meters away from Yang Fan.

"Wolfsburg's attack is resolute!"

Yang Fan seemed very decisive, after he caught up with the football, he cut directly to the penalty area to 'insert'!

Another central defender of the Schalke team, Bordon, was defending Dzeko, he didn't expect Wolfsburg's attack speed to be so fast, and he didn't expect Yang Fan to pass his partner Westermann, who was good this season, so lightly, and he didn't want to hit Yang Fan so resolutely into the penalty area, without even the slightest hesitation.

Bordon couldn't care about Zheke beside him at this time, and he pounced on Yang Fan.

Without waiting for Boldon to pounce, Yang Fan burst into the penalty area and made a gesture to 'shoot' the 'goal', this time Bolton immediately deceived fell to the ground, wanting to block Yang Fan's 'shot' and 'goal', and Schalke's 'goalkeeper' Neuer also quickly moved his body position to block Yang Fan's 'shot' and 'goal', but he didn't expect Yang Fan to 'shoot' 'goal', he chose to pass, the football reached the feet of the unguarded Dzeko, Schalke 'goalkeeper' Neuer was shocked, immediately moved his position, ready to pounce on Dzeko's 'shot'' However, what he didn't expect was that Dzeko did not 'shoot' the 'goal' directly, but crossed the football horizontally in front of the 'goal' again.

"This goal - Boateng! He is undefended now! Chance! He 'shoots' 'goal'"

Boateng 'shot' with his foot, the football flew to the ball 'goal', Schalke 'goalkeeper' Neuer moved his position again to save the ball, but he was so 'made' by the passing of Wolfsburg's front trident that he was already a little dizzy, and Boateng's 'shot' and 'goal' were the kind of extremely fast violent 'shot' 'goal'. In the face of such a 'shot' and 'goal', even the 'goalkeeper' Neuer, who has played a 'color' this season, is powerless

Michael Hanks, the ace commentator of German television 2, jumped up from his seat when Boateng's 'shot' and 'goal' action was completed, and his excitement was already roaring out of his mouth when the football slammed the net up.

Hanks may have been the first to react, because when Boateng suddenly 'interspersed' into place and 'shot' the football hit the net, whether it was the earth 'fans' in the stands or the spectators in front of the TV, their brains had not yet come to their senses - just over a minute into the game, Schalke's routine attack was cut off, Wolfsburg broke the ball and counterattacked, three passes and two feet, this is the goal?!

※※※※※※※

Also surprised were the Schalke players and ball 'fans', those Schalke players who hurriedly returned to the defense were stunned one by one, while the coaches and players on the bench on the sidelines also had the same expressions as them, they stared blankly at the football in the net.

The Schalke football 'fans' in the stands were also stunned, they didn't seem to believe their eyes, and someone subconsciously glanced at the time on the big screen of the stadium.

At the same time, the football 'fans' in front of the TV heard the roar of the gold medal commentator Michael Hanks: "This is the fastest goal in the Bundesliga this season! One minute and three seconds! The game only started one minute and three seconds, and Wolfsburg scored! Boateng took the lead for Wolfsburg! They took the lead! Wolfsburg's counterattack was very sharp, and their attacking trident in the front court was powerful, ha, no, Boateng's position in this game should be further back, but this could not prevent the Ghanaians from scoring!"

'Wolfsburg scored, they took the lead, even though it was a surprise. But they did take the lead! It was a terrible start. Schalke's commentator said with some frustration that as he said, it was really strange for the visitors to take the lead, and I'm afraid until now, Schalke's players have not realised what was going on with the goal. It couldn't have been a worse start.

The first thing that sounded in the stands was a burst of cheers, which was the huge cheers of the Wolfsburg 'fans' in the away team's stands who reacted to their team's goal.

Truth be told, even Wolfsburg's own 'fans' didn't expect them to get off to such a smooth start, taking the lead just one minute into the game. Therefore, they were actually stunned for more than ten seconds before they let out a huge cheer.

Soon, the cheers of the away team's football 'fans' were drowned out by even louder boos, and it was Schalke's 'fans' who reacted that they began to boo dissatisfiedly. They weren't happy with the team conceding a goal from the start. I was even more unhappy with the cheers of the Wolfsburg people.

※※※※※※※

“!”

Amid the boos and cheers that erupted in the stands, Yang Fan, who contributed the most to this goal, opened his arms and laughed to greet the goalscorer Boateng who rushed over to celebrate!

He was then tackled by Boateng, then Dzeko pounced, and then more Wolfsburg players pressed on him. uu read the book () text debut. Even the 'goalkeeper' Benagrio ran up from behind, so you can see how excited the Wolfsburg people are.

It's a big game for Schalke and not for Wolfsburg.

If they can open up the gap to fourth-placed Schalke, then Wolfsburg's Champions League dream will be even closer to reality. This direct confrontation with Schalke is a game worth six points!

Champions League!

That's the Champions League!

Thinking that if the team continues to play like this, they may go to the Champions League stage next season, and the players in Wolfsburg are all 'excited'. With all the 11 players on the pitch now, including all the players on the bench, no one has ever tasted the Champions League. Even the feeling of playing in the UEFA Cup, many people have experienced it with Wolfsburg this season.

"1-0! The game only started one minute and three seconds, and the away team Wolfsburg scored, and they entered the game much faster than the home team, I am afraid Schalke never dreamed that they would face such a bad start! Boateng's goal, it was Dzeko who provided him with the assist, and the most dazzling thing in this attack was their number one star Yang Fan! In this goal, the Chinese star is like an organizer!" The commentator was still shouting excitedly, full of praise for this goal
