The first win in the Champions League at home gave Schalke 04 four points and overtook Panathinaikos to move into third place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The second place is still Anososis, in this round of the game they played a goal battle with Inter Milan at home, the final score was 3:3, this score surprised many bricks, what really surprised was not that Anososis was able to draw Inter Milan, but that Anothosis' attack at home was not as weak as everyone imagined.
They scored three goals last time at home to beat Panathinaikos, and this time they scored three more goals to draw with the mighty Inter Milan, so it seems that their dark horse is still quite heavy.
First-placed Inter Milan now has 10 points, second-placed Anososis has five, third-placed Schalke 04 has four points, and bottom-placed Panathinaikos has three points.
After this round, the situation in Group B has become more and more complicated, with only Inter Milan in a strong position, while the other three goals are likely to qualify, and of course they are likely to be eliminated.
Schalke 04 are finally close to finishing second in the group, a one-point gap is not much, but there are still two games to come, and they cannot afford to lose.
After this round of games, the German media mainly reported three things for Schalke 04, the first Champions League group stage finally won, and the hope of qualifying has increased greatly, and the second thing is Bolton's frenzy in the post-match press conference, bad reporters have written that Bolton's state and performance this season have a big decline, and they should abdicate to make way for Xian, and the reasoned analysis makes Bolton very unhappy.
The third event is naturally Schalke 04 at home against Bayern Munich on October 9.
Bayern Munich's coach this season is Jurgen Klinsmann, a former Germany international and former German national team coach who was chosen by Bayern Munich solely for his outstanding performances at the 2006 World Cup on German soil.
In the 2006 World Cup, Germany's attacking football style of play made German fans addicted, and the German team was not the favorite to win the championship in that World Cup, but it played with the momentum of the championship.
Bayern Munich fell in love with Klinsmann, the golden bomber of yesteryear after Heathfield's decision to retire.
Klinsmann has a rich career as a player, but as a manager, he doesn't have a rich resume, but because of the World Cup, almost all German footballers consider him a young and talented manager.
Bayern Munich's call-up is not surprising, and after Klinsmann took office, he began to transform Bayern Munich, mainly to promote his own concept in the national team and play attacking football.
The effect is still there, so far this season, Bayern Munich has scored the most goals among all teams, with an average of 3 goals at home and 1.4 away from home, and they are very strong in attack.
Just by looking at the attack, you think Bayern are stronger, but if you look at the defense, you can see why they are not first but fourth now.
In 11 rounds of league play, Bayern Munich has conceded 17 goals, which is basically the second-to-last number of goals conceded by all teams.
With an average of 1.5 goals conceded per game, and considering that they conceded only 21 goals in total last season, can a performance like this in defense work in the Bundesliga?
So now after 11 rounds, they have only won 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, which is not much better than Schalke 04.
It's just that Bayern Munich's top management is obviously more patient than Schalke 04's, and Klinsmann is still sitting in the head coach's position.
Schalke 04, who is in recovering form, is difficult to say who will kill against Bayern Munich, who has a strong attack.
The celebrities and managers of the two teams appeared one after another and talked about their views in the interview.
"I'm optimistic about Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich are stronger in attack this season, their only drawback is that there are still problems in defense, if you want to win at the Schalke Stadium, Jurgen must solve this problem, you must know that Schalke 04's attack power is not bad, they have clearly recovered in recent games!" said Effenberg.
"I think Bayern Munich have the advantage in this game, after all, they are much stronger than Schalke 04! Bayern Munich have been in good form recently, and they have won four consecutive league games and are gradually on the right track!" said Kahn after retiring, he and Klinsmann are not too far on the same path.
At that time, in the 2006 World Cup, Kahn was removed from the main goalkeeper position by Klinsmann, and another veteran, Lehmann, was put in the starting line-up.
However, in the current situation of the great enemy, Karn is still optimistic about his favorite.
"Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a strong team, but I am more optimistic about Schalke 04, Schalke 04 has been in very good form during this time!" "Schalke 04's all-time top scorer Fisher is clearly biased towards his old club.
"Of course I'm bullish on Schalke 04, don't ask me why?! because we're Schalke 04! They don't have much advantage!" Olaf Thorn, a member of the 1990 World Cup winners, is also a Schalke 04 legend.
"The winner of this match will rise to the next level before the winter break, while the loser will need to rediscover his feelings. Schalke 04 manager Muller said.
The personnel of the two teams also appeared one after another, each saying their own thing, Zhang Yuan was injured in the game with Bayern Munich last season, so he was absent for more than a month, it can be said that Bayern Munich is bitter and bitter, of course, his grudge is mainly against Lucio, who deliberately trampled on him.
"I don't have anything to say, let's see! We'll win Bayern Munich!" Zhang Yuan said to reporters in an affirmative tone.
He has already made up his mind to make Lucio look good this time, how good he looks, naturally he wants to win Bayern Munich and step on them hard.
The two days of training for Buskens and Mulder were mainly for recovery training, and the amount of training was not large, regardless of who Bayern Munich was, they were determined to play their own style in this game and make full use of Bayern Munich's holes in the defense.
Zhang Yuan has also been trying to adjust his physical condition in the past two days, mainly because he can't make himself feel too tired.
The arrangement between Buskens and Mulder suited his appetite, and Schalke 04 prepared in a relaxed state, with this game not at all being as important as the previous game against Panathinaikos.
Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich are not mortal enemies, the wheel is fundamental, how many grades are Schalke 04 worse, there are few fierce competitions, and there is no derby between the two teams, just a league game, and losing is not the end of the world.
The game came as scheduled, and the flag of Schalke 04 fluttered inside and outside the stadium, and the home stadium of Schalke 04 was full again.
"Hello everyone! Today we bring you a key match in the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 at home against defending champions Bayern Munich! These two teams are fourth and fifth in the standings before the game, and the points gap between the two is only one point, so it can be said that this game is worth six points. Both teams have shown good form recently, with Schalke 04 on two wins in a row and Bayern Munich on four. The guest commentator we invited today is Tao Wei, Tao Tao, who are you more optimistic about in this game?" asked Duan Xuan, the commentator of the sports station, Tao Wei.
"It's hard to say in this game, Schalke 04 didn't have a good result some time ago, and Rüten got out of class, the main reason is that there were too many draws, and the draws dragged down their results, in fact, they have only conceded 2 goals at home so far. Bayern Munich's attacking power is indeed the best in the Bundesliga, but they don't score many goals away from home, and now they only have seven, which is completely two states compared to home. Of course, I'm still optimistic about Bayern Munich!" "Tao Wei has been a Bundesliga commentator for many years and has a deeper understanding of the Bundesliga, in fact, he is a Bayern Munich fan, everyone knows it.
Duan Xuan and Tao Wei continued to chat about the game in the commentary room, while the players on both sides of the stadium were already standing in the players' tunnel.
Today Klinsmann lined up with a 442 formation:
Goalkeeper: Lensing
Defenders: Odoro, Lucio, Demichelis, Ze Roberto
Midfielders: Franck Ribery, Van Bommel, Kroos, Borowski
Forwards: Klose, Toney
Toni Kroos is a youngster born in the same year as Zhang Yuan, he is only a few months older than Zhang Yuan, and he has not played many games at Bayern Munich now, but he has been given the opportunity to rotate in this game. (To be continued.) )
