After Jin Ming's comeback, Schalke's game was very intensive.

On April 2, they played St. Pauli away. On April 6, Inter Milan was played away. April 9, home to Wolfsburg. On April 14, they hosted Inter at home. Mainly because at the end of the season, the Bundesliga and the Champions League are intertwined.

Inter are coming.

The battle for dignity.

This was written by the Italian press.

In the first game, he was beaten 6-1 by Schalke at his home stadium. I dare not say that it is the most humiliating moment in Inter's history, but it is definitely a game that can be at the top of Inter's all-time shame list.

In such a game, even if it is such a big loss to the world's top giants, it is a shame. What's more, losing to a second-rate team in European football like Schalke is even more of a shame within a shame.

The disparity in the scores of the game is too great, and if they can all turn the tables with such points, then Inter Milan is definitely the most amazing team in world football. This match will also become the most classic game in European football.

It's a pity that such a miracle is not possible.

It may be possible in a dream, but it is impossible to achieve it in reality.

Even Inter themselves don't believe they can turn the tables around. Therefore, the meaning of the Italian media is very simple, you Inter are so embarrassed in your own home stadium that you ask people to play six goals. Now that you're on their home turf, you're at least going to get your lost face back.

You don't have to score six goals, at least an away win against Schalke.

This is what the Italian media and Inter fans want from Inter. Of course, Inter themselves have this idea. They need to win away at Schalke to prove that the home defeat was just an accident, a mistake.

It's a pity they think too much.

Inter is no longer the Inter of the Treble, and Schalke is not the Schalke who fell apart in the dressing room during the Magath era. Schalke's results have been getting better and better lately, and Schalke players are becoming more familiar with Rangnick's style of play.

Especially the young players that Rangnick has vigorously promoted, the table is getting better and better.

Kim Ming, Matip and Papadopoulos have all become the brightest talents, while Rangnick's reused Jurado has also begun to show his excellent performance at Atletico Madrid.

Schalke is now playing more and more openly.

On the contrary, it is the triple crown kingdom rice, and the footsteps are getting heavier and heavier. It's not just that after winning the Treble, they used too much passion. There are peaks and valleys, which is the law that has not changed for thousands of years.

And by April, the fitness of the Inter players was not very good. Inter players are generally very old, with nearly half of the players over the age of 30.

Zanetti, Cambiasso, Zivo, Stankovic and Milito are all over 30, while Motta, Samuel Eto'o and McCone are all over 30 this season. This is Inter now.

At the end of their careers, they won the Triple Crown, which can be said to be their best. And after the treble, it is clear that the fighting spirit of these players has also dropped a lot. And after all, he is old, and he still has problems with physical fitness.

Heading into April, their physical reserves are not as good as Schalke's. Magath has a lot of faults, but the training players are still very physical. In addition, many of the current Schalke main players are sitting on the bench before, and there is no fitness problem at all.

Plus the pressure on the Inter players is too much.

They were so humiliating in their last game, so this one they have to earn that face back. Anyway, they are all famous stars in world football at the moment, and they always feel angry when they are so humiliated by Schalke. They're going to earn their face back.

So although there are a lot of problems, Inter can only attack away from home. They had no choice but to attack. It's a pity that attacking is easier said than done.

On the contrary, Schalke frequently broke the ball in the midfield, and then immediately went into the attack, beating the Inter wolves.

Twenty-three minutes into the game, Raul latched on to Farfan's pass and scored his 71st goal in the Champions League and his 72nd in European competition.

Raul is constantly making history.

And his record doesn't stop here.

In the forty-fourth minute of the game, Raul received a low flat ball from Jin Ming on the left and scored the second goal of the game with a rush point. It was also his 72nd goal in the Champions League and 73rd in Europe.

has completely surpassed Inzaghi and enjoyed this historical record exclusively.

Of course, Schalke didn't end like this.

In the 66th minute of the game, Jin Ming received a pass from Raul and successfully countered offside and scored Schalke's third goal in the game.

Although Inter scored a goal early in the second half, Schalke still beat Inter 3-1 at their own home. In the end, Schalke won both legs, eliminated Inter Milan with an aggregate score of 9-2, and entered the Champions League semi-finals.

Splendor.

This is the first time in Schalke's history that they have reached the last four of the Champions League.

Everywhere, it's cheers.

Jin Ming, on the other hand, enjoyed the praise of a large group of Chinese journalists alone. Because Jin Ming set a new record in the last game after setting the first goal of a Chinese player in the Champions League and the first hat trick in the Champions League, Jin Ming once again set a new record in this game.

Champions League semi-finals.

The Champions League record for Chinese players was set by Sun Xiang in PSV Eindhoven. In the 06-07 season, PSV Eindhoven reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Sun Xiang was one of the players. At that time, he set a record for a Chinese player in the Champions League, that is, the first Chinese player to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

And now Jin Ming has broken that record.

Schalke reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and Jin Ming became the first Chinese player to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And unlike Sun Xiang, although Sun Xiang reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League in Eindhoven, his role was mediocre. But Jin Ming entered the Champions League semi-finals, which was the absolute hero who scored four goals and two assists for Inter Milan in two legs.

The situation is quite different.

Therefore, Chinese football can be said to report every day that Jin Ming entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. Not to mention the major sports media, even CCTV's "news broadcast" also inserted the results of this game.

Although it was only a dozen seconds, it was an unprecedented first time for Jin Ming.

After all, it was a thirty-minute "news broadcast".

Under such circumstances, Jin Ming's reputation in China is getting louder and louder.

…………

"Schalke? I also watched Schalke and Inter recently and Schalke is really strong. There are no weak teams in the Champions League semi-finals, so we have to be more careful. ”

Ferguson spoke cautiously.

After Schalke eliminated Inter, the next Champions League semi-final opponent is Premier League giants Manchester United.

Although even if they enter the knockout stage of the Champions League, there are some weak teams. Because the strength of the teams in the group stage is different, it is not necessarily a strong team to break out from the group stage.

But after a round of knockouts, there are few weak teams to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Of course, there are occasional weak teams in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but they are rare. But with the Champions League semi-finals, then the rest are basically first-class strong teams. In addition to Schalke, the dark horse of this year's top four, the rest are the current top giants in European football.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United.

The Big Three. Schalke ran into Manchester United.

Manchester United and Schalke have never met in the history of the three major European cups, and this is the first time that Manchester United and Schalke have met in the Champions League. However, Manchester United have not always had a good record in the Champions League for Bundesliga teams, especially in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Although Manchester United has reversed Bayern Munich in the Champions League final to win the title, in the history of the Champions League restructuring in the two-legged knockout round, Manchester United will be eliminated every time they meet a Bundesliga team.

In the knockout rounds of the Champions League, they saw Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, and they were eliminated from both legs.

Therefore, although Schalke's strength is far inferior to Manchester United, some media are still analyzing whether Manchester United will be eliminated again. Of course, although Manchester United has suffered more losses in the knockout rounds against German teams in history, Schalke is far from being Manchester United's opponent in terms of strength.

Therefore, everyone is still optimistic about Manchester United.

Manchester United are modest, though. Starting with Alex Ferguson and going to Manchester United, coming to Schalke is a low-key one. said that Schalke can beat Valencia and sweep Inter, and is no longer an ordinary dark horse. So Manchester United will give it their all and so on.

Compared to Manchester United, Schalke is more high-profile.

Rangnick said directly: "My team will still play attacking football like they did against Inter and I hope to beat Manchester United home and away. ”

Schalke defender Metzelder also made a high-profile declaration: "Manchester United prefer to defend, but we will beat them with attack. ”

There was a very unexpected situation.

The strong Manchester United are very low-key, but the weak Schalke is very high-profile. Swept Inter Milan 9-2, giving Schalke players too much confidence. Manchester United are not in the eyes of the Schalke players.
