0145 Final Sprint
Forced Bayern to draw and made Schalke 04 as happy as Christmas, but the training still has to be trained.
The season has really entered the sprint stage!
Because the pit dug for himself in the first half of the season was too deep, even if he tried his best to fill it in the second half of the season, he still hasn't climbed out of the pit, which is more sad.
Currently, Schalke 04 is sixth in the standings, one point less than fifth-placed Hamburg.
Further up the standings, fourth-placed Stuttgart have five points more than Schalke 04, and third-placed Hertha Berlin have six points more than Schalke 04.
As for Bayern Munich in second place and Wolfsburg at the top of the table, the point difference has reached double digits, and there is no point in comparison at all.
The current distribution of European places in the Bundesliga is as follows: the top three play in the Champions League, and the fourth and fifth play in the Europa League, which will be restructured next season.
With the league still in the end, Schalke 04 wants to hit a Champions League place, which is actually very difficult, so it is better to be more down-to-earth and fight for a Europa League place.
As long as they outscore Hamburg in points, it's still worth the effort.
......
In the penultimate round, Schalke 04 faces Bayer Leverkusen at home.
They came up with the momentum of forcing Bayern to draw and hammered Leverkusen to a screed, even if Ye Feng only came on as a substitute in the second half due to physical reasons, but at that time, Schalke 04 had already locked the win.
However, in the other games of this round, Schalke 04's opponents have also won one after another, and the standings have not changed at all.
In the penultimate round, Schalke 04 went away to challenge Borussia Mönchengladbach.
I don't know why, the old problem of the miners robbing the rich and helping the poor has flares up again, and the away team lost to the opponent very simply, as if they had traveled thousands of miles to send warmth to Mönxing, who was in the quagmire of relegation.
Ye Feng scored, and this goal also brought his season Bundesliga goal tally to 10.
But this still can't save Schalke 04, he doesn't know how the opponent played so well.
Losing this game felt like a sudden loss of European qualification, and every team-mate was written with displeasure written on the bus back to Gelsenkirchen after the game.
But often the creation of people, until the situation is clear, you never know what the next accident will be.
Schalke 04 lost, but Schalke 04's rivals also lost.
It's like agreeing with each other that whoever wins the game will be the king, and everyone has such a tacit understanding.
Stuttgart lost, Hertha Berlin lost, and the main rival Hamburg lost!
Just like the last round, the ranking has not changed, and even the score difference is still the same, and it is about to grow hair.
Next, Schalke 04 will challenge Hertha Berlin and Stuttgart in succession, and these two important games are likely to determine whether Schalke 04 will play in Europe next season.
Fortunately, Schalke 04 fans are not panicking, judging from the miners' preference for robbing the rich and helping the poor, Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin, which are currently ranked higher than Schalke 04, belong to the ranks of "rich", and may not be able to resist the ravages of Schalke 04 bandits.
Sure enough, facing Hertha Berlin at home, Schalke 04 seemed to have changed teams from the last loss.
Ye Feng, who started the game, opened the scoring for Schalke 04, and then Farfan and Kuranyi played one after another, and even Altentop Jr., who came off the bench, scored a goal, beating Hertha Berlin to the ground, and he couldn't see the appearance of a strong team at all.
However, with a win over Hertha Berlin, Schalke 04's ranking remained unchanged.
Because Hamburg also won!
It's frustrating!
If we lose, you lose, and if we win, you win!
What's the matter, copy and paste?
The extremely unhappy Schalke 04 is really going crazy!
Isn't it just one point away, and I don't believe you can keep winning!
Schalke 04, who was holding back his energy, hammered the inexplicable Stuttgart again in the penultimate round.
However, what made Schalke 04 confused was that Hamburg, an opponent that they couldn't figure out, actually won!
The results of four consecutive rounds are the same, and what to say is not to let Schalke 04 catch up, as if deliberately angry Schalke 04.
It's a bad thing!
It's just that there can't be only bad news in the world, and even if you can't catch up with Hamburg, it doesn't matter now.
Flowers bloom inside the wall, fragrant outside the wall!
Hertha Berlin sand sculpture!
Previously, Hertha Berlin had 5 points more than Schalke 04, and the previous round was killed by Schalke 04, and the points gap was narrowed to 2 points.
And in this round, Hertha Berlin was kicked by Bayern again, and Schalke 04 won again, and suddenly Schalke 04 surpassed Hertha Berlin in points.
Now, Schalke 04 is fifth in the standings!
What's more critical is that the competition for Champions League qualification has suddenly become confusing.
With only the last round left, Schalke 04 was surprised to find that he actually saw the hope of reaching the Champions League!
Can you believe it?
Stuttgart are now in third place, and they were originally 6 points more than Schalke 04 because they were directly defeated by Schalke 04, so there is only a 3-point gap left!
Moreover, Schalke 04 has seven more goals than Stuttgart, which is by no means something that Stuttgart can make up for in one game.
Hamburg is fourth, one point more than Schalke 04, and this one point has made Schalke 04 unable to catch up with him before.
And if Stuttgart and Hamburg lose at the same time in the last round of the Bundesliga, once Schalke 04 wins, then Schalke 04 will leapfrog two opponents and rank third, directly qualifying for next season's Champions League!
Who would have thought that Schalke 04, which had been in a rut for almost a season, would finally have a chance to impact the Champions League!
Ye Feng thought it was funny!
Originally, Ye Feng was mentally prepared to "play well in the Europa League, and if he didn't play well, he couldn't even play in the Europa League", but now, he feels that his expectations seem to be able to be adjusted upwards!
People always have to have some dreams, what if they come true?
So, in the last round of the league, Ye Feng and Schalke 04 both fought, and they won the strong rival Hoffenheim cleanly at home, drawing a victory for this season that may not be complete, but it must be a wonderful end!
Because all the matches in the final round are played at the same time, the players can see the other matches in real time, even when they are on the field.
In the final period of the game, Schalke 04 had already sealed the victory, and the players were kicking slowly waiting for the game to end, and the stands erupted in cheers.
When the situation on the field is not shocked, it goes without saying that it must be good news from other games!
Hamburg is behind!
Hearing the news, all the Schalke 04 players were excited, even more excited than they were winning!
Who made the team of Hamburg so evil, and used one point to press Schalke 04 for so many games, it was as if he deliberately couldn't get along with Schalke 04.
Now, Hamburg is in danger of losing, and it's definitely worth setting off firecrackers to celebrate!
This time, you won't be able to crush us with another point!
What's more, if Hamburg can't get the score back, Schalke 04 will be able to surpass Hamburg after the game and further increase the possibility of rushing into the Champions League.
However, until the end of the game, it was the only good news.
Hamburg did lose!
But Stuttgart held on to a draw and picked up a valuable point!
It is this precious point that has allowed Stuttgart to secure the third place in the standings and lock in a Champions League place!
