211. Derby in the Champions League

May 4 finally arrived as scheduled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The venue of the competition is located in the Ruhr area, Germany's traditional industrial region.

The venue of the match is Schalke 04's home stadium, and Fertings-Pride goes to Schalke Stadium.

It's a fairly modern stadium, and the hardware is much better than that of many money-strapped clubs, such as Milan and Liverpool.

But it's also a hell of a devil's hell, with blue Shakhtar fans setting a horrific record of 129 decibels in the 2007 Schalke vs. Stuttgart match!

It was just a warm-up time before the game, with more than 20 minutes to go, but the noisy German fans had already turned the stadium into a real battleground.

The fans at the Bernabeu and Camp Nou, though fanatical, have the elegance and reserve of an aristocratic giant, and they are not as crazy and unscrupulous as these German giants, and perhaps only Anfield in England has experienced such an atmosphere in the stadium that Ronchette has experienced.

On that night, the stadium was dyed as blue as the sky and the sea by more than 50,000 home fans, and the thousands of Dutch fans who travelled to Germany could only compete with them in a small corner.

Red and blue are the two colors of the football world, and the confrontation between red and blue is particularly eye-catching in such a situation.

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, you are watching the second leg of the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Schalke 04 hosts Ajax, I am the commentator Duan Yixuan."

As a senior commentator in the Bundesliga, Duan Yixuan's mood today is beautiful.

He is very familiar with both teams today, one is the Eredivisie he's been following for two seasons, and the other is a team he has met regularly in the Bundesliga, finishing runners-up last season.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tao Wei."

The guest who partnered with him was also a veteran Bundesliga fan and Bayern Munich supporter, Tao Gui, who only heard him say:

"Ajax and Schalke are both dark horses in this Champions League, Ajax is better, after all, they have won the Champions League four times, and last season they also beat Schalke and Real Madrid very strongly to reach the quarter-finals.

Schalke is different, although they are the runners-up of the Bundesliga, but their performance this season has been a bit extreme, falling into the relegation zone in the league for a time, and manager Magath was also sacked as a result, but after replacing Rangnick, they staggered into the last four in the Champions League.

I have to say that although they have attracted a lot of attention with their Champions League results, this is certainly an unhealthy operating philosophy, in any case, the league results are the foundation of a team, even if they win the Champions League, but the team is relegated to the second division, it is certainly not worth it......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Duan Yixuan couldn't help coughing, because he was afraid that an audience would spray this guest.

The Bayern Munich you support has not won the league championship for several seasons in a row, so are you embarrassed to say anything about the league results?

Schalke is rubbish, people were the runner-up who pressed Bayern last season!

After coughing, Duan Yixuan took over the topic:

"The reason why these two teams are interesting is that in addition to being dark horses, there is also a common feature, they both have a player from China in their squad."

Tao Wei laughed and recovered from the eloquent conversation just now:

"That's right, Ajax has Long Shute as the starter, and Schalke's Hao Junmin is also in the squad, this can be called a Chinese derby in the Champions League!"

-

Chinese Derby?

Long Shute looked at his national team teammates sitting on the bench and couldn't help but shake his head.

Except for the half season when he just joined Schalke, Hao Junmin didn't get any opportunities to play this season.

Magath transformed him into a full-back, but new Schalke signing Atsuto Uchida did better than him, and with Magath's departure, new coach Rangnick had no interest in him at all, and his status in the team plummeted.

Schalke 04 is a team of Shakhtars who don't need to market cars to the Chinese market, so the club has lost patience with the introverted Chinese international......

Long Shut is willing to bet that if Schalke 04 leads Ajax, Rangnick may still have a little chance of Hao Junmin showing up, but if the situation is stalemate, Rangnick would rather not make a substitution than let him play......

But here's the problem...... Schalke, who was just slaughtered by Bayern three days ago, has the confidence to lead Ajax by a big score?

-

Everyone was taken aback when the referee from Portugal, Proenza, blew the whistle for the start of the match.

Even Van Basten was stunned.

Ajax's two strikers, Suarez and Hamdawi, could only smile wryly as they looked at each other's line-ups.

"Schalke 04 has a back five?"

This may be the first time that Duan Yixuan has found out what lineup the opponent is within ten minutes of kick-off, right?

Because Rangnick's intentions are all too obvious.

The two full-backs, Atsushi Uchida and Escudero, were on the left and right, and the three central defenders, Metzelde, Hevedes and Papadopoulos, came together in the middle, which greatly used the strong man to drown out the two strikers of Suarez and Hamdawi.

"......"

Van Basten couldn't help but cover his eyes:

"Rangnick, you are also a well-known German tactician, and you can even learn bus tactics from a Portuguese coach in order to win?"

Bergkamp, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sneer in his heart:

Just two weeks ago, in order to deal with Barcelona, I wonder who has been studying the bus tactics of Chelsea and Inter Milan?

Van Basten immediately sneezed:

"It's so cold in Germany!"

-

"This ...... Schalke can all understand how important a game like the Champions League semi-finals wants to defend safely, but his line-up may make the game dull and boring. ”

Duan Yixuan shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied.

As a commentator, of course, he hopes that the two sides will have a sparkling contest, and it is best not to set up defensive players, who defends will lose......

Only the continuous shooting and scoring can make the audience who stay up late to watch the game lift their spirits, and can also reflect the commentator's own style.

-

Maybe Rangnick also has his own troubles, after all, Ajax's attack power is indeed extraordinary, they were able to concede only one goal in the last game, purely because the goalkeeper Neuer's plug-in was too big, this time who knows if Neuer's plug-in has been renewed, after all, he has just been bombarded by Bayern with four goals, obviously his plug-in level is not too high, and it takes a certain cooldown time to reopen......

Apart from the back five, Schalke didn't send a few more beasts in midfield - they wanted to, but they didn't......

The 25-year-old José Jurado is still at the heart of the team's attack and defence, flanked by Alexander Baumjohn, who has only played just over 400 minutes in the team this season, with the team's leading goalscorer and Lord of the Rings Raul up front, and Farfan and Draxler roaming on the wings.

Of these five players, except for Farfan, who can still have a little defensive ability, the others are almost all air on the defensive end:

First of all, Jurado, the core of the midfield, is a typical Spanish midfielder, with a height of 172 cm and a weight of 70 kg, which feels fairly balanced in numbers, but is the type to knock down in the confrontation.

Secondly, another midfielder, Baumjohn, is about the same height and weight as Lonshit, but the midfielder, who was once known as one of the top 10 monsters of Pro Evolution Soccer 8, is an out-and-out technical attacking player, and his favorite way to play is to break through with the ball and stage long-distance runs that have passed several people, and as for defense, sorry...... That's not his job.

Under the genius of German football, Draxler is not yet 18 years old, you can't hand over the team's defensive duties to an underage winger, right?

At last...... You can't expect the Lord of the Rings, who is already 34 years old, to defend, right?

The great Real Madrid banner has played all the games that can be played this season, and three days ago he was bullied by Bayern Munich's elite men for 90 minutes, and his physical strength is almost empty, so you give him a way to live!
