Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ulreich
In the 16th minute, Gotze broke through on the right side, and it has to be said that Arsenal wants to buy Gotze is reasonable, and Gotze and Messi are indeed very similar in terms of individual skills, both can pass the opponent with excellent skills and then can pass extremely wonderful passes, or choose to shoot themselves.
No, Gotze was facing the defense of the opposite Schalke 04's left-back Fox, Gotze continued to use his excellent foot skills to play with Fox, and after shaking off Fox's center of gravity, Gotze took the ball and prepared to enter Schalke's penalty area, and Fox had no choice but to pull down Götze.
The referee on the sidelines ran over and showed a yellow card to Fox who pulled the foul, Dortmund got a free kick opportunity from 38 meters on the right, and Dortmund's left-back Schmelzer walked over and stood in front of the football, after all, Schmelzer's strength and footwork are still good.
As the referee's whistle blew, Schmelzer took a few steps back, then pulled the ball up with his right foot, and the ball was hoisted into Schalke's penalty area in an arc, and a yellow figure in the box jumped high.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Lewandowski! Lewandowski met Schmelzer's precise cross near the penalty spot, and the domineering lion shook his head and headed the football into the Schalke goal! At this time, the sound of the commentator's frenzy came from Dortmund's home broadcast.
The Dortmund fans at the scene also sang the Dortmund team song loudly, and the Dortmund team flag was waving even more tigerly, which shows the importance of this Ruhr derby, and the Schalke fans on the other side were disappointed to watch the celebration of the rival fans, and they could only endure it silently.
"Schmelzer's cross is very beautiful, I didn't expect Dortmund's full-back's footwork to be so good, we can see from slow motion that Schmelzer's lob is deliberately looking for Lewandowski in the penalty area, Lewandowski also received this wonderful pass from his teammates!" Duan Xuan discovered the tacit cooperation between the two through slow motion.
"Borussia Dortmund is showing us what a mature team should be, and we can still believe that Dortmund are still strong contenders for the Bundesliga title this season!" Duan Xuan continued.
Yes, Dortmund's president Watzke also said in an interview with reporters that their goal for this season is generally "Outside must first be inside!" 'Borussia Dortmund will remain focused on the league.' Zhan Jun also agrees with Dortmund's goal, after all, last season's championship was accidental, and Dortmund must win several Bundesliga titles if they want to maintain the Bundesliga hegemony with Bayern Munich for a long time, and prevent Bayern Munich from dominating the Bundesliga.
Now Schalke 04 is coached by Hub? Stevens, who started his coaching career at JC FC Roda in the Eredivisie, took over Schalke 04 in 1996 and led the team to win the UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the current Europa League) in 1997, which was the biggest breakthrough in the history of Schalke 04 European competition.
In 2001, they narrowly missed the double, but the league fell short to become the famous four-minute champion, while the German Cup was won. The following year, he defeated Bayer Leverkusen and defended the German Cup, which also made the famous Sanya king of the pharmaceutical factory.
When he first took over Schalke 04, Schalke 04 had just come out of bankruptcy, and there were hardly any big names in the team except for the old captain Thorn. But he successfully built it into a well-known European iron army, enjoying the reputation of "European fighters", and successfully brought out a group of Schalke stars, such as the later German international Lehmann, Belgium captain Wilmots, the post-league top scorer Marx, and the post-Bayern defender Thomas? Link.
Stevens is Schalke's longest-serving coach, with five years and nine months until 2002. In 2004, he was voted the best coach of the century by Schalke 04 fans.
Since leaving Schalke, Stevens has also coached a number of Bundesliga teams, including FC Hamburg, to the same acclaim. Later, due to his wife's health reasons, he left Hamburg and bid farewell to the Bundesliga.
In July 2008, he was appointed head coach of PSV Eindhoven, and in January 2009, he resigned as head coach of PSV Eindhoven due to poor coaching results.
He was the head coach of Red Bull Salzburg FC in the 2009/10 season, leading them to the Austrian league title in 2010.
On September 27, 2011, Schalke's official website announced that Dutchman Hub Stevens has become the new coach of Schalke 04, who will replace Rangnick, who recently resigned due to health reasons.
Stevens has a high reputation in the Schalke 04 team, and the Schalke 04 team in his coaching period has always occupied an absolute advantage in the Ruhr derby with Dortmund, it can be said that Stevens is Dortmund's bitter master, but all this after Stevens left, Klopp came to Dortmund and there were new changes, Dortmund has risen strongly in the past two seasons with a large number of talented young people.
Dortmund came close to scoring again in the 29th minute when Blaszczykowski broke down the right and crossed for Götze to take advantage of a Papadopoulos mistake to get a chance to face the goalkeeper, but his shot was miraculously blocked by Unestal and Matip was able to clear before Barrios could make a follow-up shot.
"Unbelievable! Ulreich made a miraculous save, this season's Ulreich performance is also very good, just Gotze's shot is absolutely no problem, but Ulreich made a miraculous save, it seems that Germany's Messi is a little unlucky! Zhan Jun couldn't help but tease Götze after watching Ulreich save Gotze's basically must-score goal.
"Zhan Jun, you're right, just now Blaszczykowski's cross, Papadopoulos actually made a low-level mistake, allowing Gotze to form a single chance, which almost completed Gotze's goal, it seems that this Ruhr derby made both players a little nervous, no, Papadopoulos made a low-level mistake."
"Yes, isn't there such a saying, every world-class goalkeeper must have a backline in front of him, and it seems that Ulreich is on the path of a world-class goalkeeper!" Zhan Jun and Duan Xuan teased each other.
Schalke fans also exhaled, just now Schalke fans were too worried, I didn't expect their team's defenders to create a single chance for the other party, if it weren't for the team's goalkeeper Ulreich performed well, presumably their team would have fallen behind the enemy at the moment!
