After conceding two goals in just four minutes of the opening game, the morale of the Schalke 04 team suffered an extremely serious blow.

They didn't know for a moment whether they should defend themselves or launch a counterattack.

Head coach Rangnick clenched his fists tightly, but his heart was at war with heaven and man.

Since taking over in March, he has helped Schalke retain a place in the Bundesliga, which was in the relegation zone at the time, and also beat defending champions Inter Milan in the Champions League, reaching the semi-finals in history, giving the club both economic and competitive success.

In the summer, they retained almost all of the team's key players – except for captain Manuel Neuer, who had long been sold by the top management – and made some additions to the squad, and it is clear that the goal of the new season will not be relegation.

Rangnick's coaching ability has also been proven in practice:

In the first official game of the new season, they defeated the hornets Borussia Dortmund and won the German Super Cup; After that, it also achieved 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in all competitions, the league ranking entered the upper reaches, the German Cup was successfully promoted, and the Europa League also entered the group stage with a score of 8-2 over two legs, changing the decline of last season.

Schalke look like things are going well, but only Rangnick, who is in the middle of it, knows that the club is far from being as calm as it seems.

As happens at all clubs, there is a huge tension between him as a manager and the hierarchy – about transfers, about tactical style, about key players......

If he can beat Bayern Munich in this game, perhaps within the club, he will gain more prestige and more voice, even if he draws the opponent, Rangnick will have more support.

But if it fails, then those high-ups will not hesitate to fall into the ground......

So he finally made a decision.

Rangnick let go of his fist and swung his right hand hard in the air:

"Attack with all your might!"

-

Heynckes laughed.

He heard what he wanted most from his opponent's mouth.

Schalke is going to fight against himself?

I'm sorry! We're going to play defensive counter-attack!

-

Bayern's formation contracted in a short period of time, forming a tight defensive system in their own half.

Although Muller has had little to do in defence, and Kroos is more of a typical eye-eye defender, Schalke has remained cautious and tread on thin ice as he gets through Bayern's first line of defence.

Because Bayern's first line of defense...... A defensive striker!

"It can be seen that Raul and Huntelaar are very cautious when holding the ball, and they were scared by the sudden up-and-down attack by Lonshette......

Duan Yixuan commented on Schalke's two biggest stars, and his mood was very relaxed and happy.

Tao Wei was as happy as he was:

"I remember in the Eredivisie and Champions League last season, when he was still playing for Ajax, Long Shute often staged lightning surprises, even Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and other super giants have suffered in this move, as an opponent who has played against him, Schalke should not be so relaxed!"

-

Schalke is now afraid to relax and they are using all their energy to launch an onslaught on Bayern.

This time was different from the previous Champions League semi-final, when Schalke returned to the home side with two away goals in the first leg, which led to the end being overturned by Ajax, but this time they decided to attack with all their might.

Raul's fitness is no problem, Huntelaar has gradually found his form in the last few rounds, Farfan is still vigorous, and the three generals lead Schalke's offensive line to launch a fierce attack on Bayern!

It turns out that if Schalke really fights for it, even Bayern's defence will be under tremendous pressure, not to mention ...... Their defenders are always a little unreliable.

However, it was a good thing that Heynckes did not use his favorite Van Bitten, but put the more dynamic Boateng in the middle, partnering with Bud to form a double gate, Lahm and Raphinha escorted at the left and right ends, and could compete with the opponent's forward line in terms of height and speed.

Gustavo in the middle is undoubtedly a strong player in the defensive end, and the vice-captain Schweinsteiger is also unequivocal, plus the deep retreat of Ronshit, and Ribery, although the defensive ability is lacking, but the fighting attitude is not to be said, this midfield defense is enough to put Schalke in a quagmire.

Once again, Raul is entangled by Ronshette.

Originally, these were two players who would never have crossed positions, but Long Shute just found him.

The Lord of the Rings, who is already in the final years of his career, meets the bloody dragon Ritian, and the two sides announce the outcome almost after the first meeting.

Raul has a lot of experience, but he can't get rid of this young man who has exploded his explosiveness, speed, reactions, physical fitness, balance, and confrontation!

Longshute ...... That's a man who can defend one-on-one with top superstars such as Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Suarez and so on!

What made Raul even more humiliating was that this red No. 8 ...... After successfully defending himself for 5 minutes...... He actually threw away the all-time goalscorer in Europe to defend his old Ajax teammate Huntelaar!

What he meant...... Dutch monkeys deserve more attention than themselves?!

Raul is furious!

But he couldn't do anything!

He's still old.

At the age of thirty-four, he is no longer the all-powerful Bernabeu boy in white, he can no longer play the violin with his feet, whether it is Bad Stuber or Boateng, as long as they are close to the defense, Raul's Spanish bullfighting steps cannot be performed lightly.

-

"Bang!"

Raul fell on the edge of Bayern's big penalty area.

He struggled to get up from the turf, but felt a pang of weakness.

Under Boateng's defense, he can't even break through casually?!

He could only watch as Boateng stretched out his thigh and kicked the ball that had been passed to him to the side.

-

Boateng's first option to clear the ball was, of course, Lahm on the left flank.

Lahm didn't dribble the ball and he handed it straight to Ribery a dozen meters away.

In Robben's absence, the Allianz Kings had an indisputable influence on the pitch, especially when the other sharp knife was too deep in defence, and he was the only force in Bayern's counter-attack.

"Ribery's solo assault! Farfan to defend him! It's over! Atsushi Uchida! It's over! The King of Allianz has turned the right corridor of Schalke 04 into a green passage of his own! Pretty! ”

From Duan Yixuan's continuous exclamations and admiration, Ribery single-handedly rushed to Schalke's half, and Farfan and Atsuto Uchida were easily left behind in his charge!

Papadopoulos was frantically chasing him back, Hvedes and Matip were also quick to move towards this side, and Schalke's new goalkeeper Verman's panicked expression was already visible in the nearby penalty area......

At the heart of Bayern's attacking midfield, Ribery isn't as prolific and efficient as Arjen Robben, but he always has a way of threatening defenders and goalkeepers.

What about a three-person bag?

He has at least 4 ways to form a shot.

Forcing breakthroughs, stopping and changing direction, cutting inside and pulling horizontally, and using rhythm to disrupt the rhythm of the defense...... He can all get a chance!

Ribery did not choose the first two, after all, he is also a 28-year-old player, and he will no longer hesitate to rush out of his body like he did when he first debuted, and the sudden stop and change of direction will also damage the knee, as for the incision...... No one knows this trick better than Robben.

So he's ready to adopt a pacing change that he's better at.

Ribery had just sunk his shoulders and was about to make a simple but practical feint, but his eyelids suddenly jumped!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw an afterimage!

Red afterimage!

That remnant is soaring in the middle of the lane!

That area...... Completely empty!

In just 0.2 seconds, Ribery made his decision.

His shoulders continued to tilt to the left, and he made a forced break down the left, causing Hevedez and Papadopoulos to make a sliding tackle on the edge of the penalty area like crazy, forming a double sliding tackle in front of Schalke......

But none of them managed to shovel anything.

King Allianz gave up becoming a hero after galloping 50 meters on horseback!

Ribery pushes the ball diagonally and becomes a spectator!

He watched as the red afterimage "rumbled" into everyone's field of vision from behind, and then rushed into the unguarded forbidden area of Schalke 04!

"It's ...... Number 8! Dragonsch! ”

Even Duan Yixuan couldn't believe his eyes!

He was at least 15 meters behind Ribery, but only in the blink of an eye, in Schalke's half?!

Even if it took a little time for Ribery to connect the two, it was ......

Schalke goalkeeper Ferman has no 'but' on his head, and it's going blank right now.

His eyes saw the red number 8 swing his right leg again.

Then his ears heard the net rustle behind him again.

The five-star Schalke Stadium, which was officially rated by UEFA, was at this moment......

No more sound!
