"Now I have no doubt that he said that we will win the championship, guys, we will be the ones who will change the history of Schalke 04, the people here are so hungry for a trophy, please work together and live up to it!"

It was not only Neuer who spoke, but also others who stood up to speak, and after this internal meeting, Schalke 04's military spirit was at least stabilized. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to stand up and say a few words, after all, he was still the third captain of the team.

He said an old Chinese saying, "The brave wins when the narrow road meets", and no one except Gao Jun could understand Chinese, but this did not prevent Zhang Yuan from telling this story about Qin Zhao in popular German.

He believes that the team is now on the narrow road to winning the championship, and the end of this road is the league championship, but there are still many enemies in the future, and we have to fight with courage and courage, and we can get the salad plate one by one.

He encouraged his teammates to be warriors and enjoy cheering instead of waiting for the pie to fall.

Magath was pleased to find that after this internal meeting, Schalke 04's morale has been greatly improved, and he quickly came out of the shadow of the German Cup defeat.

However, the next opponent, Bayer Leverkusen, did not make any major changes in their personnel and did not invest much last summer, but their coach is a big name, and that is Heynckes.

Laba Dia led Bayer Leverkusen to a ninth place last season before leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, and Bayer Leverkusen immediately brought in Bayern Munich's interim coach Heynckes.

If Heynckes wants to say that he is a big name, it is because he has the bottom of the Champions Cup, in fact, his coaching career so far has been mostly in small clubs, and the results are not bad, and the championships won are basically won in Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

He has a wide track record and a rich resume, but he has not been able to make a big splash since Real Madrid won the Champions Cup, and even announced his retirement after taking charge of his parent club Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 06-07 season.

Klinsmann's reform at Bayern Munich ended in a complete failure, and Bayern Munich general manager Hoeness still had a good relationship with Heynckes, so he invited Heynckes, who had retired, to come out.

Bayern Munich gave the nickname Bundesliga Hollywood, which shows that it is star-studded and the internal relationship is complex, Klinsmann's unsuccessful reform has a certain relationship with this, he is faint from class, Bayern Munich's starting point is to find a coach who can lead the team to win and can calm the locker room, Heynckes has coached at Bayern Munich before and has achieved good results, enough to complete this goal.

But Heynckes is not a replacement, just a transitional coach, because after Real Madrid, Heynckes has coached several teams, but the highlights are really pitiful, and Bayern Munich has little confidence in him in the team.

Bayern Munich is more inclined to invite coaches who are more adapted to modern football.

The firefighting in Bayern Munich was generally successful, but I didn't expect that after the end of this firefighting, Heynckes also had plans to return to football, and he hit it off with Bayer Leverkusen.

Leverkusen actually came up with the idea of inviting after seeing Heynckes' firefighting performance, otherwise with his previous experience, Leverkusen would probably not have handed over the whip to Heynckes.

Because of the financial policy of the Bundesliga, except for Bayern Munich, there is no absolute powerhouse, and there are often situations where last season was still competing for European games and next season will be relegated.

Leverkusen's own strength is not too bad, but there must still be a certain gap compared with Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg, with Leverkusen's team, not many people may believe that Heynckes can bring the team to this point, but the reality is that Heynckes has coached the team very well.

When Bayern Munich took a nap at the start of the season, it was they who had long held the top spot in the table, not other teams.

Their results haven't been great lately, they've slipped a bit, but it's not a crash, and they haven't lost a single of their last six meetings with Schalke 04, which is a psychological advantage.

Coupled with the fact that Schalke 04 also played the German Cup in midweek, and returned him for 120 minutes, they undoubtedly had the upper hand physically.

Even so, Heynckes did not mean to despise Schalke 04, just as the outside world was not optimistic about Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04, which was empty last season, was also not favored, but they are now ranked first, and Heynckes is not old and confused.

It was rumored that Zhang Yuan, the star of Schalke 04, was leaving after the season, and Heynckes still did not relax his tactical defensive arrangements for Zhang Yuan.

This young man is amazing, he has completely become a goal machine in the second half of the season, his condition is surprisingly good, surprisingly stable, a goalscorer has scored 30 goals in a season, but it only took more than ten games, such a scorer is not terrible.

But if a goalscorer scores 30 goals in a season and is spread over 30 league games, it's pretty scary, which means that he is very consistent regardless of his strength or weakness, which proves that many teams simply can't find a way to keep him, and of course it proves that his luck is not bad.

At the very least, Heynckes thinks so, no matter what the outside world says, he must work the defense of Zhang Yuan, for which he has done a competitive practice in team training, and as for the actual combat effect, it depends on the on-the-spot performance.

Due to Bayern Munich's unexpected loss to Stuttgart at home earlier, Schalke 04 could have a chance to pull away from them, Magath warned everyone in the dressing room before the game not to think that Bayern Munich can relax if they lose, and Schalke 04 still have to go all out to win this game.

The game started on the afternoon of the 27th, Magath changed his formation in this game, he didn't want the opponent to figure out his routine, 442 is what he has been used to now, but today he played 433 again.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the same at the back, with Digan and Westermann partnering at centre-back, while Hevedes became the starting left-back and Raphinha on the right.

Hevedes has always been partnered with Degan at centre-back, and he can also play at left-back and right-back, with Magath bringing on Raphinha and Farfan on the right today, with the aim of attacking from the right and the left with the focus on defence.

Hevedes will not only have to defend on the flanks, but also shrink and form a three-centre-back combination with Deegan and Westermann to tightly control the box, as Heynckes has been using a two-striker strategy at Bayer Leverkusen this season.

In midfield, Magath didn't make too many changes, Matip, Rakitic, Kruger.

On the front line, Kulanyi, Edu, and Farfan were pressed, and Zhang Yuan was pressed to the bench.

Leverkusen's losses before the game are still not small, Vidal is suspended for yellow cards, Kiessling is out due to a torn muscle fiber, these two people are still very important to Leverkusen, Vidal has grown up here thoroughly, the midfield sweeping ability is strong, and the running ability is very strong, is Leverkusen's midfield barrier.

Kiessling, on the other hand, has been the strongest hitman in Bayer Leverkusen's front line this season, and he has also scored more than a dozen league goals so far.

Magath changed his formation, Heynckes also changed his formation, his 442 parallel position changed to a diamond position, and everyone wanted to give their opponents a surprise attack, but the result was that they were probably a little disappointed.

Why don't you follow the routine?! This may be the inner sorrow of the two famous marshals.

After the start of the game, Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen attacked a few times, Schalke 04 failed to seize the opportunity to score first, and then Bayer Leverkusen slowly attacked and began to suppress Schalke 04's midfield.

But just as Bayer Leverkusen was in the ascendancy, Schalke 04 scored with a counter-attacking opportunity.

In the 11th minute, Farfan midfielder broke through Castro on the right side and quickly took it to the right front side of the penalty area, and Hevedes crossed from the back for the first time, Schwab cleared the ball at the back point, and Kuranyi stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and curled the ball with his right foot 11 meters away into the far corner, 1-0.

"Hooray!" Zhang Yuan also clenched his fists on the bench and was excited about this goal, because Schalke 04 habitually fell into passivity when facing strong opponents, but now Schalke 04 is so hanging, and many times he can take the lead in scoring goals.

Schalke 04's players were celebrating lively, and Bayer Leverkusen's defensive players were also crying, and it didn't take long for the game to score, which is not a good thing. (To be continued.) )
