At half past eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was dripping with a dense light rain all day, and although it was already April, it was still cold to experience such a spring rain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the cold rain, Schalke welcomed Manchester United, the opponent of the Champions League semi-finals.

The stadium was already full of fans, everyone hoped that they could see Schalke reach the top again after seeing them slaughter Manchester United at home again, thinking about the terrifying state of Ai Huan, everyone felt that this was not a pipe dream, so although the temperature was very low at this time, the mood on the scene was still very hot.

There is an automatic drainage system under the field of Schalke, this kind of rain will not make such a game any problems, there is not even a little water on the field, the grass is the best time, and the green piece looks like a refreshing feeling.

Uncle Deep, who was sitting at the top of the pitch, was also introducing the lineups of the two district teams in his own unique tone: "Manchester United's goalkeeper is still the veteran Van der Sar, the Dutchman has a second spring at Manchester United, and the most criticized position has become the most reassuring at this time, and I really can't help but say that the old man is a master of adjusting the state." 'It's clear that he's not sneering at the visitors this time, after all, this time against Manchester United, and it's a must to show them the most basic respect.

"The defender line Fabio, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Evra, this is also a back line that has been tested in the Champions League, they have always conceded first goals with Inter, of course, the least, but Inter Milan has not dared to say this after experiencing us, and now they are meeting us again, this should be fate, how can they dare to say that their defense is good or bad without experiencing Schalke?"

"Carrick in the midfield midfield, with veterans Ryan Giggs and Nani on the left and right, I really didn't expect Giggs to be able to play as the main force, which may be considered a miracle. The front is Valencia, while the strikers are Hernandez and Wayne Rooney, and their main centre-forward Berbatov has a groin injury, so he can't play in this game, which is also good news for us. ”

Deepp took a sip of water, then raised his voice a few degrees and shouted, "Our goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, this is the best in Germany right now, and I think it should be the best goalkeeper in Europe." Escudero is still on the right side of the back, and his recent performances have shown that he is a very consistent player and we can be very reassuring about him. The central combination was Ai Fan and Metzelde, and Hovides unfortunately didn't play because he strained his muscle during pre-match training, which was also our biggest regret. But it's enough to have Ai Fan on the pitch, he can play all but the goalkeeper, so even if he's on the pitch as a centre-back, it makes us feel relaxed. Today, there is Salpe on the left side, which is also Magath's special arrangement for today. ”

"Midfielders Matip, Jurado, Papadopoulos and Holtebi are composed of four people, and Magath should have wanted to change after the last game, so he put Papadopoulos in the midfield position. Papadopoulos' real ability is to attack, and maybe he can show his power more in this position, and hopefully today our Ferrari can run something that he is proud of. The striker is a combination of Farfan and Raul, Farfan is finally able to play, and it is said that he has been training very seriously during this period of time, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility as soon as the ban was lifted. ”

In fact, Magath's problems are definitely not as simple as Deepp said, and since Schalke won the title, he has noticed that his team has been seriously lax. The team has always been like a clockwork machine, but now it seems that the clockwork has been completely broken, and the machine can no longer be 100% in the same condition as it used to be, no matter what he does, it can't reverse this phenomenon.

He also knows that this is a normal phenomenon, but it will be a headache to encounter such a problem at this time, so Magath will change the formation like this, hoping to use Papadopoulos to stimulate the midfield, and he still hopes to win it at his home stadium, only in this way can they occupy the initiative in the next away game.

Ferguson, who was sitting on the other side, kept chewing gum, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and he kept sneering in his heart as he watched Magath stand on the sidelines, "Soon you will know how good I am." ”

At 8:45 a.m., the game officially began, United had the ball, and they kicked off normally. However, only 29 seconds into the opening game, Manchester United made a mistake, when Giggs charged forward with the ball, Ai Huan, who was close to the defense, broke the football down, and Ai Huan immediately turned back and made a long pass, and the football immediately flew to the front, just waiting for Papadopoulos.

The Greek youngster's immediate pace was surprising, as he shook off Carrick who came up to block and then fired a powerful shot at goal. However, he is not a striker at all, and his speed and skills are good, but the last kick seems ridiculous, and the football flies directly into the air, and Papadopoulos did not seize this opportunity.

And Raul and Farfan, who were already in place, waved their hands at the same time, if they passed the ball, it might be more threatening, Papadopoulos also raised his hand to say that he was sorry, but this has just started to have such a shot on goal, it is still very morale-boosting, and the fans at the scene are also very happy.

However, the next game was a bit surprising, because Manchester United's style of play seemed to be designed to restrain Schalke, and their competitive form was indeed much better than Schalke's, and it didn't take long for Schalke to look a little tired.

In the third minute, Carrick passed the ball, Rooney's shot from the top left corner of the penalty area was blocked by Escudero and deflected into the far corner, and Neuer flew to save the ball. Two minutes later, Rooney passed the ball again, and the left side of the Valencia penalty area and Nani quickly co-ordinated, flashed Ai Huan, who came up to block, and shot hard, but fortunately was saved by Neuer again, and Hernandez, who was already in an offside position, was blocked by the young Schalke goalkeeper. A minute later, Valencia's cross from the right was met by Hernandez from distance, which was comfortably cleared away by Neuer.

The game was only five minutes, and Manchester United firmly suppressed Schalke and Ai Huan, which also made many people on and off the field nervous.
