With the win against Cottage Bus, Schalke 04 won two in a row and reached 20 points to reach fifth place in the standings, five points away from Hoffenheim in first place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hoffenheim's magical performance shocked everyone, and many media predicted that Hoffenheim would be a dark horse before the season, but who would have predicted that after 11 rounds, it was not the defending champion Bayern Munich who would occupy the top spot, but Hoffenheim!

In last season's top three, defending champions Bayern Munich are fourth in the standings with 20 points, runners-up Schalke 04 are fifth, and third-place Werder Bremen are even worse with 17 points.

The season is only a third of the way, the Bundesliga points gap has not yet been fully opened, Schalke 04's two consecutive wins is a positive sign, and the players who were more difficult some time ago finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least we are on the road to victory.

After a long away trip, Schalke 04 returned to Gelsenkirchen with the whole team.

"Lads, it's great that we're back on the right track to win, we've won two in a row, we've gone up the points, we've gone up the standings, well done!" said Buskens, who had a special glance at the players' reactions as he said this early in the morning on the training ground.

Everyone was very happy, with a smile on their faces, and Zhang Yuan was no exception!

"To be honest, I'd love to give you a holiday, but the next two games are crucial for us and I have to cancel the holiday, so I hope you understand!" Buskens was referring to the Champions League games at home to Panathinaikos and at home to Bayern Munich.

It's rare to see Buskens be so polite to the players, Zhang Yuan, those of them who have played under Buskens, know that Buskens is not a strict coach, but politeness is definitely not enough.

"Well, I'm too polite to you! Actually, I'd love to win these two games, but I don't want you to carry a heavy burden on your back!" Buskens said bluntly when he saw that the players below were a little stunned.

This is said to everyone's heart, everyone is smiling when they come back, but everyone knows that the next major test is coming, needless to say the Champions League, the points are at the bottom, and if you don't win, I'm afraid you really have to say goodbye.

Bayern Munich are the shadow of all Bundesliga teams, and if we can beat them at home, it will undoubtedly give the team a lot of confidence, and if we can even defeat the defending champions and the Bundesliga bosses, then what else can't we do?!

So don't look at the smiling faces, in fact, when the game is approaching, everyone's mentality will inevitably be affected.

"Well, you don't really have to worry so much about the next game! I'll tell you the story of last season, when the club made me acting manager, to be honest, I was beating the drum in my heart, I didn't think I was ready, but I love this team, I'll always be part of it, and the responsibility has to let me take over the plate. ”

"You must know better than me the expressions on everyone's faces in the fiasco of Werder Bremen! At that time, I asked Yuri what to do? Yuri said what else to do, kick by kick, no matter what, the game is always played one by one!"

"What happened next, you all know very well! I want to say that I was also very nervous and scared to lead the team further into the abyss, but the game is always played one game at a time, so why should we think about it later, just do what we have now!"

In fact, last season Buskens was lucky, his coaching ability was definitely not very good, but he continued Slomka's style without much change.

And it happened to send the team Ketbus, the team's morale is not good, but with absolute strength, Ketbus did not achieve the goal of scoring points, but gave Schalke 04 a big victory, which played a huge role in boosting the team's morale, and then with the streak, Schalke 04 is really imposing, rushing to the second place in the standings in one breath.

At that time, it was not unreasonable for the outside media to say that Slomka's dismissal was unjust.

"You don't need to think about the game now, what you need to think about now is to train hard, and the game should be left on the field! The outside media has given us countless reasons, we have to win against Panathinaikos, but I don't think so, now the second place in the standings Anososis is only four points now, this time they have to face Inter Milan, I don't believe Inter Milan will lose! It's not like we're going to lose this game and the sky is going to fall, so I hope you can play your own football at home, why bother winning or losing, just do your best!"

Although everyone knows that Buskens just doesn't want everyone to bear heavy revenge when he says this, everyone is still relieved, after all, the head coach has reassured everyone, and I don't blame you.

It's impossible to fully judge Buskens' coaching ability, but as a veteran of the team, he can still get everyone to say something encouraging and relaxing.

In the next two days of training, the team has always been in a relaxed atmosphere, there is no high-intensity training, Buskens and Mulder think that the most important thing for the Schalke 04 players now is to rest and relax, but not absolutely completely relaxed, the string in the head still has to be tightened, as long as it is not too tight.

For Panathinaikos, Buskens does not have any special tactical arrangements, and after he took office, he almost always played with me-based tactical ideas, and he summed up Lu Teng's tactics and felt that Lu Teng's tactics were too conservative, and the on-the-spot adjustment was mostly passive.

Lüten's consecutive draws have encountered opponents with weak teams, but people can often force him to draw, and the reason is that he basically figured out Lüten's routine, and tried his best to limit the two wings, Lüten has nothing too good to deal with, in fact, Schalke 04 does not lose much, but there are too many draws.

Now the new tactics discussed by Buskens and Mulder, Zhang Yuan as the center, and the forward's ability to break through in the middle has been enhanced, realizing a mixed style of play with the center as the main and the side as the supplement, and it is difficult for the opponent to guard against the opponent who is weaker than himself.

To put it bluntly, Schalke 04 is now about taking the initiative on the field, not giving up the initiative to others.

On the evening of October 4th, the 08-09 season of the Champions League ushered in the fourth match day of the game, although the final round of the Champions League at this level is very critical, but the fourth day is the most critical round for many teams.

Like Schalke 04, this is a key battle, their most important goal is not to be thrown off the points by the second place, on paper it seems that Inter Milan is n times stronger than Anososis, but who knows if Inter Milan will be killed by the home team Anossosis when it comes to the away side, you must know that Panathinaikos is also N times stronger than Anososis, but lost a 0:3 away game, Schalke 04 is recognized as the second in the group and was forced to draw by Anososis on the first match day.

The final knockout stage of the Champions League is not an easy place to be a place of miracles, but the group stage is definitely a place of miracles.

For such a crucial game, the fans of Schalke 04 naturally came to cheer for it, and the Schalke Stadium was full of spectators, and the whole stadium was full.

In Zhang Yuan's box, Raiola is discussing things with Mai Xuewen, one of them is Zhang Yuan's official agent, and the other is Zhang Yuan's personal assistant, and there are quite a lot of things that intersect.

In addition, Mai Xuewen is still a member of the economic team that Raiola set up for Zhang Yuan, but this Mai Xuewen will not listen to him, on the contrary, they have a competitive relationship in business.

Mai Xuewen is naturally dissatisfied with the current distribution of Zhang Yuan's commercial endorsements, and he thinks that Zhang Yuan's distribution is too biased towards Raiola.

Raiola was also dissatisfied, and he felt that he was now able to act as a full-fledged agent for Zhang Yuan's business.

The original distribution plan was just beginning, and both of them agreed very much, Mai Xuewen was a little rich and peaceful, and Raiola felt that he was not familiar with the situation in China at the beginning, and he could accept the business contract handed over to Mai Xuewen.

Who knows that in the past half a year, the desires of the two people have been dissatisfied at the same time, and the ravines are difficult to fill people's hearts.

Mak Xuewen believes that even some international brand endorsements should have his share, such as Puma's contract.

Because Zhang Yuan's signing with Puma is not a contract with Puma China, but a direct contract with Puma headquarters, many advertisements are to be placed around the world, and China is naturally among them, and China's consumer group is very large.

Mai Xuewen thinks that this is unreasonable, this should have my share, Zhang Yuan's share is indispensable, so what to do, I can only let Raiola point out, these shares are actually not too much, but what he asks for is a gesture, which means that he wants to get involved in this part in the future.
