Chapter 208: The Greatest One (Part 3)
Liverpool defeated Schalke 04 5-0 away, Jiang Chenxi scored twice, and has scored 12 goals in the Champions League this season, leading the scorer list.
This is Jiang Chenxi's first return to Germany after leaving Dortmund, and he unceremoniously delivered a humiliating defeat to German football.
From the boos to Jiang Chenxi at Schalke Stadium in the first half of the game, to the moment of 5-0, the whole stadium was silent, which was completely silent and scared by Jiang Chenxi.
Whether it's the process of the game, or the 'backstory' of the game, or even some details of the game, there is so much to cover in this game, and the reporters are very happy.
Many bookmakers, including William Hill and BWIN, have once again adjusted the odds for Jiang Chenxi to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season, and it is clear that the bookmakers are also optimistic about the new World Footballer of the Year to win the UEFA Champions League Golden Boot.
β¦β¦
On the side of the English media, they were jubilant after the game, and for the English media, there was nothing that made them happier than a Premier League team beating a Bundesliga team.
Every time a Premier League team beats a Bundesliga team, the English media is very happy, and the English media and fans cheer with a big win like 5-0.
This is just a match between clubs, if the England national team beats the German team, it can almost be said that the whole of England is carnival, you know, to this day, every time the England team and the German team meet, before the game, the English media have to talk about the game 13 years ago: In September 2001, in a match in the ninth group of the European zone of the South Korea-Japan World Cup, the England team defeated the German team 5-1 away after conceding a goal first. Owen, who was Liverpool's golden boy at the time, scored a hat-trick and his Liverpool team-mates Steven Gerrard and Heskey scored two other goals in a game that England had beaten Germany away for the first time since 1965.
It can be said that for more than ten years, every time I met the German team, whether England won or lost, we had to broadcast this game.
The English media cheered for Liverpool's big victory, and the "Guardian" even unceremoniously used the words 'adults beating children' to describe the game, such reports filled the English media, and it can be said that reading such reports can make the Germans so popular that the English people are real PK.
However, it is not the English media that is most excited, but the Chinese media.
The excitement of the Chinese media is entirely due to Jiang Chenxi, and even if you are not a Liverpool fan, you will be happy to see Jiang Chenxi perform so well in the Champions League.
Although everyone has long been accustomed to Jiang Chenxi's outstanding performance, every time they see him score and see his wonderful performance, they can't help but cheer and cheer.
That's cool.
This kind of football is the happiest.
This is the greatest enjoyment that football brings to fans.
β¦β¦
On the side of the German media, there was a wail after the game, how much joy Jiang Chenxi brought to German football and the German media when he won for Dortmund last season, and how much mourning and depression there is now.
The German media newspaper Bild was furious, and the newspaper angrily denounced Schalke 04's performance in this game as if it were a flight.
"Kicker" said that it was disappointed and saddened by this, describing the game as 'Schalke was pressed to the ground five times by Jiang and Liverpool'.
The Munich Evening News also followed the game, but they pointed the finger at their home team, Bayern Munich.
Schalke was slaughtered, but Bayern is blamed, which sounds a bit contradictory, but:
"Schalke's humiliating defeat and (at this time) Bayern have an obligation to uphold the Bundesliga honour...... In the second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, we have to justify the Bundesliga with a great victory...... Bayern could have gotten Jiang, however, we missed it, if Jiang was still in the Bundesliga, none of this would have happened, it would have been the English who were crying, which is why Schalke lost this game heavily. β
That sounds ...... Seem...... Unexpectedly......
However, Schalke certainly did not want to hear this.
β¦β¦
In addition, the German media also criticized Schalke after the game, especially for the poor stadium situation of this game, the media criticized Schalke for not focusing on the game, only thinking about those crooked ways, it is strange to be able to play well.
At the same time, the German media criticized Schalke 04 coach Di Matteo's tactics in this game as problematic, believing that Schalke should be strictly defended in this game, rather than pulling out and fighting hard with Liverpool.
Schalke 04's head coach did not admit after the game that there was a problem with his team's approach: "...... Against a team as attacking as Liverpool, there's no way out because you can't keep the goal conceded, all we can do is try to score as many goals as we can and try to score more goals than the other side...... Unfortunately, we weren't so lucky, and Liverpool were outstanding. β
In addition, Di Matteo was very gracious in congratulating Liverpool on the win, "We played well at the beginning of the game, but after the first goal was conceded, everything changed, Liverpool performed better than us, they deserved this victory. β
Di Matteo focused on Jiang Chenxi.
"Jiang's performance is dominant, he's one of the three best players in football at the moment, and there's nothing you can do with a star like that when he's in great shape...... I wouldn't blame the defence because they're playing against phenomenal stars. β
β¦β¦
On Liverpool's side, Klopp was smiling in his post-match interview, and in the words of the German media, Klopp's stubble was dancing happily.
Liverpool's 5-0 score in the first leg of the away game, it can almost be said that it has entered the quarterfinals in advance, in this way, the importance of the second leg of the game is reduced, and Liverpool can make a certain rotation in such an 'inconsequential' game, on the one hand, to accumulate the experience of substitute players, to train the bench team, and on the other hand, to allow some of the team's main players to get more rest, which is very important for Liverpool who lack bench depth.
"To be honest, I was surprised, the score was something I didn't expect before the game, I was cautious about the game, Schalke is a team to respect...... However, it was clear that the game went beyond my expectations and I am very proud of the players...... Salah's goal was spectacular...... I would also like to give credit to Lallana, he did a great job and of course, everyone deserves to be commended. β
"Jiang? He's the best player in football. β
"Even compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the best?" A reporter immediately asked.
"Yes, he's the best! At least in my eyes! ββFacing the microphone of reporters, Klopp said that for a coach, he has no pressure to praise his players, not to mention that Jiang Chenxi deserves these praises.
