It's the end of March, and winter has finally come to an end, and the spring wind is gently blowing on the land of Germany, and there are spring flowers everywhere. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Schalke have been successfully defending their title after beating Kaiserslautern in the recent past, but they will soon face the next round of the German Cup, and this time their opponent is not a formidable opponent, but the current German second division top Fürth who beat Borussia Dortmund in the last round.

Originally, Schalke thought that his next opponent in the next round must be Dortmund, after all, even if Fürth is now the first place in the Bundesliga, it is just that, don't you see that every year there will be a promoted team into the Bundesliga, and then be beaten to the ground? This is a two-tier league, and there will be a considerable difference.

But no one expected Dortmund to attack for 90 minutes but never scored the football into the opponent's goal, but was scored a stunner in the last minute of extra time, and was inexplicably eliminated, which also made Schalke, who had always felt that this would be another derby, helpless.

However, since this is the semi-final of the German Cup, Magath still does not dare to be careless easily, and he is almost ready to enter the final, and he still can't relax at this time. But the problem is that the next Bundesliga is two days later, Schalke will host Bayer Leverkusen, it will not be an easy game, and then they will face Chelsea, this series of games can not be easily passed, so for such a team Magath will definitely not put on his full main force.

So in this away game, although Magath still put on a 4-4-2 position, the people on the field are still mainly substitutes, but the problem is that Schalke is definitely strong enough even if he is a substitute.

Goalkeeper Hildebrand, the backline Hegel, Hogland, Sarpe and Vigol, this backline is unprecedented, and Vigol has just been promoted from the youth team, he used to play as a striker, but this game was placed on the full-back, which also shows Magath's strange use of troops.

The midfield is composed of Maputy, Joaquín, Draxler and Holtby, and the forward line is also composed of Demba Ba and Farfan, which is also Magath's biggest reliance, if there is not such a set of midfield, Magath really does not dare to form such a backline. But he is not blindly arrogant, Ai Huan actually sat on the bench, you must know that Mata and Fuchs did not come with the team at all in this game.

Fürth also put on a 4-4-2 formation, but it's hard to say what kind of plans they have, after all, they are one step away from reaching the final, and this temptation is difficult for anyone to refuse.

Sure enough, under the loud cheers of the fans at home, Fürth launched a fierce attack as soon as he came up, and their ambition can be seen from this. In the second minute, Fürth split the ball in the middle to the left, Salal burst into the penalty area and was still a little hesitant under the attack of two Schalke defenders, and at this moment the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by Sarpe's outstretched foot.

But this attack also made Schalke's players immediately wide-eyed, although they are all substitutes, but their group has experienced no less first-class games than anyone else, so even in the face of the best team they will not flinch, not to mention that this is just a Bundesliga team, so soon they occupied the midfield advantage, and the unscrupulous continuous passes in the opponent's half made the Fürth players a little tired, and they were a little helpless, so they had to use fouls one after another to block Schalke's advance。

In the fifth minute, Demba Ba was brought down in front of the field and Holterby's free-kick shot was blocked by the wall. Two minutes later, Schalke won another free-kick in front of the field, Holterby took a free-kick to drive the ball into the box, Joaquín's header was slightly high, and it really didn't matter that much without Ai Huan on the field.

After that, Schalke's attack was still fierce, while Fürth retreated all the way and set up a bus in front of the goal. Joaquín's action of passing the ball escaped the opponent's defense, but in the process of rushing into the penalty area, he was pulled and interfered by the opposing player, and the ball was destroyed by Nerich, who chased back in time, and Schalke won a corner. This time Draxler took a corner kick and the ball flew straight into the box, but Farfan's shot was not on target.

After that, Fürth continued to instigate fast attacks, and they could only use defensive counterattacks to threaten Schalke, Schalke's back line still showed its own problems at this moment, their defense still looked ugly, but fortunately, the quality of the opponent's counterattack was not high, which also caused the anxiety of both sides.

In the 20th minute, Joaquín was brought down again in front of the field, and Holtby's free-kick from the right was pushed off the line by Mafraj, and Schalke won another corner. Holterby took a corner kick from the right, Demba Ba headed back in the middle, Farfan picked the ball to the middle on the left side of the penalty area, Demba Ba stopped the ball with his back, turned and volleyed, but the shot was kicked high again.

In the 25th minute, Joaquin received a long pass in the penalty area again and headed the ball, Farfan won the ball on the right side and returned to the corner of the penalty area, Holterby followed up with a cross to send the ball to the back post, Draxler again headed the ball to the middle, but unfortunately Demba Ba's header in front of the goal was high. However, this kind of coordination is also staggering, Schalke's attack is so smooth that it really makes Fürth's players tired and can't find a better way.

After that, Joaquin, who had a very eye-catching performance in this game, continued to instigate a smooth attack, but this time Holtby's attack in front of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent, and Draxler grabbed the opportunity to shoot again but missed the ball. However, compared to this kind of fluid attack, the threat of their set-pieces is really not good-looking, and they have successively violated the goalkeeper in the penalty area and the attack was blocked by their own family, which really makes everyone helpless.

Schalke continued to attack on the field, and in the 37th minute, Joaquin crossed from the left again, Holtby hesitated slightly, adjusted back and forth left and right after winning the ball, missed the first chance to shoot, and was kicked out of the penalty area by the opposing player. In the 41st minute, Maputi broke the ball in midfield and distributed the ball to the right, Joaquin easily crossed the bottom, but Nerich took the first step in front of Demba Ba to shovel the ball out of the line. Holterby whipped in another corner, and this time Demba Ba's volley went high again.
