This match told the bettors that the words of the media were really unreliable, and Stuttgart finally won Schalke 04 2-0 at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The strength is not as good as others, but what they didn't expect at all was that Schalke 04 was in worse shape, Stuttgart completely had the upper hand in the whole game, and Schalke 04 didn't get any decent chances.

A penalty in the first half could have given Schalke 04 the lead, but Farfan, who took the penalty, missed it.

In the second half, Stuttgart finally penetrated the door guarded by Neuer twice in the 79th and 83rd minutes after a long attack, and sealed the final victory.

Dropping that three points, Schalke 04 slipped to sixth place, leaving Hoffenheim at the top of the table by as much as eight points.

Compared with the score difference before Lu Teng's class, many media are analyzing the reasons why Schalke 04's results this season are not in line with their own strength.

Looking around, there are several aspects, the first is turmoil, from the end of last season to the current Schalke 04 manager has changed and changed, Buskens and Mulder are the second acting head coach.

The second is that Kuranyi's form is so poor, he is Schalke 04's main scorer in previous seasons, but this season is completely dumb.

The third is that in addition to Zhang Yuan, Schalke 04 lacks other auxiliary scorers, Zhang Yuanyi is suspended, Schalke 04's goals have become very difficult, and it is difficult to fight for a victory.

Fourth, Rakitic's position is still very average in the midfield after being tossed by Ruten, which is much worse than last season, and Ruten's change of position to him seems to have affected his form, and after Buskens and Mulder came to the front, Rakitic's performance improved slightly.

In addition to this topic, there is another important topic in the media coverage of Schalke 04, that is, the results of the 2008 Golden Boy Award are about to be announced.

There are also several media outlets in Germany that are voters, and in the news they will not disclose who they voted for, and it is offensive to say it, you must know that there are 6 candidates in the Bundesliga!

They didn't say it, but they all advocated for Zhang Yuan in their own media, believing that Zhang Yuan's performance in 2008 could be described as impeccable, and Zhang Yuan's hope of winning the Golden Boy Award was very high.

Anyway, it seems that Zhang Yuan has firmly grasped the Golden Boy Award, and the result will not be known until December 7.

Zhang Yuan said in an interview with reporters: "If I can win the Golden Boy Award, it proves that my performance has been recognized by everyone, this is a very meaningful award, I hope I can get it!" ”

"So how hopeful do you think you are?" A reporter asked.

"If I had to be honest, then I think I deserve this award the most because I feel like I was the best! Of course, if I can't get it in the end, then the effort to prove it is not enough, and it has not been recognized by everyone, I will continue to work hard! "The first half is very domineering, and the second half has obvious Chinese characteristics!

Rakitic is basically hopeless, and his performance is far less eye-catching than Zhang Yuan, so when asked by reporters for his opinion, he told reporters bluntly, "I don't think anyone is more suitable to win this award than Zhang Yuan!" His performance was really great! ”

Schalke 04 is looking forward to Zhang Yuan being able to win this award, this award is not only the honor of Zhang Yuan alone, it is also the honor of the club.

However, these have not affected Zhang Yuan's training, the external media's analysis of Schalke 04's record this season, Zhang Yuan also read it, and some views he thinks are correct, for example, Kuranyi is in poor condition, for example, it seems that there is no auxiliary scorer who can stand up except for Schalke 04.

The more he agrees with these views, the more he feels that he was really reckless on the court at that time, and he faintly regrets it, if he doesn't stop playing, maybe Schalke 04 will not lose a game and win a game like a nerve knife in the near future, and he has opened up a gap with Hoffenheim alive.

In terms of goals, he is already behind Hoffenheim's Ibisevic, Zhang Yuan has proven himself to be a reliable goalscorer in the Bundesliga last season, but this season Ibisevic and Grafitte have come as a bit of a surprise.

Ibisevic is a dark horse in his own right, he was originally introduced by Hoffenheim to replace Obasi who participated in the Olympics, but Obasi had to come back to the side, giving up the center forward position to Ibisevic, who is in great form.

Grafitte had never scored more than 20 league goals in previous seasons, but this season the 29-year-old broke out, catching up with Zhang Yuan and Ibisevic on the scorer list, scoring more than 10 goals.

Now that half the season is not over, the three of them will have no problem breaking the 20 mark if they maintain this form.

On December 6, Schalke 04 sat at home to face Hertha Berlin, Hertha Berlin has played well this season, and is currently in third place in the standings with 30 points, and this team has also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Hertha Berlin's own strength is not good, it can only be regarded as the strength of the middle and lower reaches. Favre's transformation of Hertha Berlin through last season's run-in has been quite successful, mainly in attack, Hertha Berlin has always been able to score.

Schalke 04's side had a noticeable improvement in form after a few days of rest, with Kuranyi being dropped off the bench by Buskens and replaced by Asamoah.

Asamoah couldn't replace Kuranyi, but he was particularly lucky today, and neither team could help the other, but in the 65th minute, Farfan crossed from the left, Hertha Berlin goalkeeper Drobny rushed to attack, Asamoah kicked the ball into the unguarded goal, and scored the winning goal for Schalke.

Relying on this goal, Schalke 04 won the opponent with difficulty, and the points reached 29 points.

After this game, Schalke 04 did not take a holiday but devoted themselves to the preparation of the Champions League, and the final round of matches will be played at the Schalke Stadium on December 9, and Schalke 04 must make every effort to ensure that they win.

Buskens and Mulder used their limited time to study Inter's tactics and use the limited time to adjust Schalke 04's attack and defence.

At the end of the noon training, Zhang Yuan received a call from Raiola.

"Congratulations, boy! You've won the Golden Boy Award! Raiola said happily.

"Has it been announced?!" Zhang Yuanqi said.

"Torino Sport has just been published today! I'll call as soon as I get the news! Raiola said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Lao Tzu finally got it!" Zhang Yuan said excitedly in his hometown.

"What did you say?!" Raiola didn't understand.

"I said I finally got my first personal honor!" Zhang Yuan couldn't suppress his excitement and jumped up in the resting room.

Di Gan, who was in the same dormitory, also heard it, and he also sat up straight when he was fiddling with his mobile phone on the bed, ready to ask Zhang Yuan after the call, and he actually heard that Zhang Yuan must have won the European Golden Boy Award.

"Mino, thank you so much for telling me this good news, really thank you very much for being my agent and helping me with my ideas! Thank you very much......" Zhang Yuan expressed his gratitude to Raiola on the phone, and his tone was obviously excited.

"Okay, don't be so excited, you're going to win the Golden Globe in the future!" Raiola teased.

"Yes, my goal is to win the Ballon d'Or, I want to be the best player in the world!" Zhang Yuan shouted.

"Well, it's good to have ideals, and I'll do my best to help you! But don't get too excited, it's the last game of the Champions League group stage, so stay calm! "Raiola did not forget to preach.

Putting down the phone in his hand, Zhang Yuan immediately gave Di Gan a hug and said excitedly: "Man, I won the Golden Boy Award!" Yes, I got it! ”

Di Gan hammered Zhang Yuan's back and said, "Boy, I knew you would definitely do it!" And so it was! Congratulations, buddy! ”

And just when the two of them were still immersed in joy, the door was directly pushed open, Neuer, Rakitic, Jones and several other teammates all got the news as soon as possible, and came to congratulate Zhang Yuan, yes, today's lunch break seems to be no fun, I don't know if Buskens will punish everyone!

Zhang Yuan hugged them one by one, thanked them for their congratulations, and said that without their support, he would definitely not be able to perform so well, and the Golden Boy Award is also the credit of all teammates.

Since it is said that the merit is natural for a group of teammates to knock on the bamboo pole Zhang Yuan patted his chest and said I will invite you tonight. (To be continued.) )
