Schalke 04's winter training camp did not choose to go outside, but stayed directly at the Schalke 04 training base.

The players don't have any opinion on this, after all, they have just returned from a trip and have no home anywhere.

With the issue of Farfan's contract extension resolved, and the transfer rumours of several other players finally gone, Schalke 04 can finally be in the best form for the second half of the season.

It's time to sprint!

Schalke 04 have a good record of two wins and one draw in three games in January.

At home against Nuremberg, Schalke 04 won easily, showing a very good competitive state.

Although Ye Feng did not score, his strong defense in the midfield gave the opponent great pressure.

In the game against Bochum, Ye Feng helped Schalke 04 open the scoring, and then Schalke 04 won the game smoothly.

It wasn't until they faced Hoffenheim at home that Schalke 04 encountered stubborn sniping from their opponents, and after a fierce battle, the score of the two teams was 2:2.

However, this result is nothing for Bayern, who have won three in a row in January, and all three opponents are not weak, including Bremen, who are third in the table.

Counting the games before the winter break, Klinsmann's Bayern have already won a terrible eight in a row.

What's more, the points gap between Bayern and Schalke 04 has narrowed to 6 points.

The pressure of being chased a lot of points in a row, but Schalke 04 still maintained a relatively stable mentality to meet the next game.

In the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 challenged Freiburg away, although it encountered the opponent's stubborn defense, but it still won the opponent with Ye Feng's heavy artillery in the second half and won another victory.

And casually, in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 was on fire at home and defeated Cologne.

In this game, Farfan and Kuranyi scored one after another, and even Engelar and Jones scored goals, but Ye Feng missed the goal with two long-range shots.

At the same time, Bayern's winning streak has not stopped, increasing the winning streak to 10 games, even if it is chasing Schalke 04 with a disadvantage of 6 points.

And after this round of games, the European knockout round begins, which also means that Schalke 04 and Bayern have to start the torment of fighting on two fronts.

It can be said that Schalke 04 survived the most difficult stage.

Bayern will certainly not give up the Champions League, so it will inevitably be distracted in the Champions League, and it will be difficult to concentrate on the league as in the previous stage.

At that time, judging from Bayern's cursed injury situation, it may be difficult for Bayern to continue to maintain a strong position in the league.

But Schalke 04 is different.

They themselves know that they are not capable of playing on two fronts, so they can kick if they can in the Europa League, and pull down if they can't, but it is easier for them to let go of their baggage than Bayern.

When the time comes, the 6-point advantage will likely last until the end of the season and Bayern will not be able to catch up.

At this time, there have been many media opinions that have begun to sing about Bayern, and the odds of Schalke 04 winning the championship have also dropped again, which shows that more and more people are beginning to be optimistic that Schalke 04 can win the championship.

It's not the beginning of the league and the results of a few games don't tell the story of a season, but in the second half of the league the situation is clear at times.

......

Schalke 04's opponent in the first knockout round of the Europa League is Eredivisie side FC Twente, a player who is not very good.

Strictly speaking, Twente's status in the Eredivisie is not even as good as Schalke 04's status in the Bundesliga, coupled with the natural gap between the Eredivisie and the Bundesliga, the two teams are almost not on the same level.

So when he challenged his opponent away, Rüten made a decent rotation, apparently to save his strength for the game against Wolfsburg in the middle of the two knockout games.

Although Ye Feng entered the squad and came to the away side with the team, he did not have the chance to start, so he could only sit on the bench and watch the game.

Even if Ye Feng is a person who doesn't play in a game, but the season has gone on to such an extent, he knows the importance of physical fitness, so he will not be willful at this time.

"When you get to your territory, don't you have any arrangements?"

Farfan smiled at Englar.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and suddenly remembered that Engelar was a player for FC Twente before joining Schalke 04, and it was here that he grew up as a Dutch international.

Of course, Farfan also played in the Eredivisie, playing for PSV Eindhoven and playing against Ngraar on the pitch.

However, at this time, Engal pouted and said: "Why do you think I want to leave the Eredivisie? ”

"It's not because Dutch nightclubs aren't fun, German nightclubs are fun!"

"The sex industry here is so developed that most of the people you meet in nightclubs are such workers, and it's not fun at all!"

"So, if you want to find an excuse for me to have a treat, no problem, but you'll have to wait until we get to Gelsenkirchen."

Only then did everyone understand that this was what Englar meant.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Engelar and Farfan.

The two of them were playing in the Eredivisie before, and with the fun personalities of the two of them, they couldn't go to the nightclubs here, wouldn't they be suffocated to death every day?

Perhaps, this is the reason why they are so indulgent in Schalke 04, suffocated!

Of course, the so-called treats are just talk, under the great goal of winning the championship, even in Gelsenkirchen, the number of nightclubs of the bad boy army has been greatly reduced, and even Jones, at most, only about two a night, shows how hard everyone is working to achieve the goal of winning the championship.

......

Sitting on the bench, with Farfan on the left and Jones on the right, almost half of the main players on the bench were seated.

Looking at the stalemate on the field, Ye Feng's occupational disease was committed again, and he couldn't wait to rush on the field and kill all sides, he didn't believe that so many strong teams were left with no bones under their own Huaxia heavy artillery, and Twente would be able to resist his own heavy artillery?

Especially at the beginning of the second half, Twente used a fierce attack to knock on the door of Schalke 04, and Ye Feng couldn't sit still.

"Did you deliberately release the water?" Ye Feng couldn't help but rush to the sidelines and shouted at Engelar.

With Jones and Jones not on the pitch, Engal was the leader of the back three, working hard with Joel Matip and Moritz, but was still broken through the defence by FC Twente.

Of course, Ye Feng is just to stimulate Engal, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Engal releases water.
