With just over an hour to go, Schalke 04's home stadium, Fertings Arena, was already full, and the fans of Schalke 04, who had created 129 decibels, hit the eardrums of the visiting players with a loud cheer.

When Song Zhong warmed up, the camera took care of him very frequently, and the reason was of course simple, a new Asian face appeared in the Hamburg team's roster, and he was also a Chinese.

"Welcome to the last match of the first round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 against Hamburg!" A slightly handsome face appeared on the TV, said Smith, a rookie commentator on German national sports television, a little nervously.

"Now both teams are warming up before the game, take advantage of this time to take a look at the starting lists of the two teams, the home team Schalke 04 has no reservations, and directly came up with what can be said to be their strongest lineup, it seems that Schalke 04 will do their best for this game!" Smith tried to keep his commentary as neutral as possible, "On the Hamburg side, the starting lineup is almost the same as last season!" Turkey's rising star Calhanoglu, who moved in the summer, has been given a start, while Lasoga, who has moved from Hertha Berlin, will miss the game due to injury, so they don't seem to have a striker on their roster......

After saying that, he turned off the microphone and buried his head in the game squad desperately trying to find a striker.

"Huh?" A name on the list took him by surprise, and he turned on the microphone again and said, "Hamburg has a striker in their roster, but he doesn't have any record of playing in the first division or the reserves?" ”

"What?" Smith's partner Sharik, who had been silently speaking beside him and just kept smiling, also showed a very surprised expression, "After the main striker was injured, did the Hamburg team not have a striker to shoot, and could only put a newcomer on the bench without any first-team game experience?" And it's at Battlens Arena, is Fink crazy? ”

"This young man is wearing the number 99 jersey and his name is ......" Smith struggled to say Song Jong's name, "Song ...... Zhong ......"

"He's a Korean?" Sharick touched his chin, "I'm afraid that the Hamburg team tasted the sweetness from Sun, so they brought in another Korean!" ”

"No, he's not Korean, he's Chinese!" As if he had discovered a new world, Smith almost shouted the microphone, "He turned out to be a Chinese, and I won't recognize their flag!" ”

Sharik looked embarrassed: "Is it really Chinese?" ”

The two looked at each other with a look of disbelief, although there was a Chinese player who had shined in the Bundesliga before, but that was 10 years ago, and now the level of Chinese football, even in Europe, everyone knows how bad it is.

"Maybe they have reached some agreement with the Chinese Football Association? Isn't Sun the South Korean Football Association Song to Hamburg! Smith himself said with some uncertainty.

"I think that's how it should be!" Shariq replied quickly.

Then the two quickly moved on to other topics, and at the same time asked the director's office to check the details of this Song Jong.

…………

When the game officially began, Song Zhong sat on the bench, and his teammates next to him seemed to be saying something to him, but he couldn't hear it clearly, the cheers of the Schalke 04 fans in the Feltings Arena were too loud, and they were continuous, Song Zhong felt that the fans here were too crazy, and such a high-intensity cheering was not so easy.

The most terrible thing is that the attendance rate of Schalke 04 is too high, and even some small clubs in the Bundesliga, including Hamburg, have a very high attendance rate for their home games, which may have something to do with the low ticket prices in the Bundesliga, but it is definitely not the main reason.

This may be the charm of football, compare Asian countries, Japan's high school soccer league attendance is very good, but many of them are students from their respective schools, teachers and parents to cheer, Japan's football atmosphere is also good, but the J-League attendance rate, can only be said to be average.

China also has a good performance of the old strong team attendance, the rest are also miserable, a country's top league team a game on about 5000 people to see, in the final analysis, or in this region football atmosphere is not strong, football does not only need professional players to perform, more should be a country's bottom of the people to carry out sports, many people in China are willing to basketball court a half of the squeezed more than 10 people, do not want to go to the empty football field next to a kick ball, A lot of times it's one or two people who are seen silently playing on their own on the football field.

Smith gave some fans who had just turned on the TV to introduce the two teams' starters, but before he could finish the explosion, the home team Schalke 04 scored.

In less than 2 minutes of the opening game, Schalke played a quick attack, Draxler won the ball in the middle of the midfield and quickly plugged it straight, and the 30-year-old Huntelaar stepped forward and shot low with his right foot into the bottom left corner of the goal without adjustment, 1-0.

"The two sharpest knives on the Schalke 04 front line show their might, and this may be Draxler's gift to Huntelaar! I don't think there's anything better than this assist! Smith said.

Fink was very unhappy with the goal, and he yelled at the players in the field.

At the same time, the goal came so early, and his tactical deployment was completely disrupted, in this case, Fink did not blindly deny the previous deployment, after venting his dissatisfaction, he gestured to the players to continue to play according to the pre-game deployment.

Perhaps because it was the first game of the season, the Hamburg players were in a good state of mind and did not mess up after conceding the goal.

In the 12th minute, Janssen's cross from the left flank hit Matip to win a penalty, captain Van der Vaart scored the penalty steadily, and Hamburg equalized the score!

In the 23rd minute, Draxler was stepped on by Arslan when he broke through and could not continue the game, at this time, Schalke 04 manager Keller replaced the German talent Goretzka, who was brought in from Bochum in the Bundesliga for 3.5 million euros this summer.

Add Calhanoglu to the fact that two future Bundesliga powerhouse midfielders made their Bundesliga debuts at the same time, and their future officially starts in this game!
