Guard.

When Stevens returned to Schalke, everyone was conservative about him.

Stevens's conservatism can be seen in many ways. First of all, since he came to Schalke, he has changed very little about the team. I don't dare to say that I completely follow Rangnick's style of play, but it hasn't changed much.

No one could tell that Schalke had changed coaches.

This is very rare.

Even when ordinary coaches become head coaches, they make some changes. Although Stevens has been away from the mainstream league for a long time, he was also Schalke's meritorious coach after all.

People thought he was going to make a lot of changes.

But not much has really changed. Even in the main lineup, there is only one change. That was Atsushi Uchida on the bench and Hevedes started playing at right-back. Nothing has changed other than that.

That's one thing.

And the most obvious thing about Stevens' conservatism is his main choice. He is a coach who rarely rotates, not to mention the Bundesliga, including the Europa League and the German Cup, he doesn't like rotation.

Even though there was only three or four days between the two games, Stevens refused to rotate.

Just play with one lineup.

So much so that a lot of media criticized Stevens. thinks that the main position is used by him to death, and the substitute players are unable to play one by one, and their status cannot be guaranteed. Anyway, in the eyes of many people, Stevens is an absolutely conservative coach when it comes to arranging the lineup.

However, it may be because of Stevens's conservatism, so Schalke's results are very stable. There is little fluctuation.

In the ninth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke hosted Kaiserslautern.

In the first half, Schalke was hit hard. Because goalkeeper Ferman fouled Kaiserslautern's striker. Not only was a penalty awarded, but he was also sent off with a red card. Kaiserslautern led Schalke 1-0 in the first half.

However, not long after the start of the second half, Jin Ming took advantage of Kaiserslautern's defender Rodney's stopping mistake and immediately passed the ball by one person. But he was fouled by Rodney from behind, and also created a penalty.

Rodney was also sent off with a red card.

Huntelaar converted the penalty and scored the equaliser. After a 10-on-10 pair, Raul received a pass from Holtby in the final moments. A shot from inside the box made it 2-1. Schalke eventually overtook the score.

In the tenth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke challenged Bayer Leverkusen away.

During the competition. Jin Ming received a return pass from Huntelaar and scored the only goal of the game. 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen.

On October 21, Schalke played in the group stage of the Europa League. Away to AEK Larnaca, a very weak opponent. Schalke have been the same for their opponents in the group stage of the Europa League.

There are Bucharast Stars, Maccabi Haifa. It's all some real underdogs. A lot of them are teams whose names they haven't heard before.

The game was easy.

Schalke beat AEK Larnaca 5-0 away. Huntelaar scored twice. Draxler scored a goal and Raul scored a goal. Of course, Jin Ming also scored one goal and assisted two goals.

On October 26, the knockout round of 32 of the German Cup.

Schalke had good luck and ran into the Karlsruhe club. This is again a team in the lower league. Originally, against these teams, Rangnick would have made some rotations.

It's not just Rangnick, even Magath will have some rotation.

After all, they are all very weak teams.

Bringing on the bench can also win the game. The main players can also take a break and play in the Bundesliga. Schalke is in good shape in the Bundesliga right now. Along with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern, they are all eligible to compete for the title.

At this time, it should be the Bundesliga.

But Stevens is different. Since he took office. Four games were played in just half a month. Although the opponents are relatively weak, it should be said that the intensity of the game is still very high.

But he still doesn't care about this, and he is still the main force in the face of a weak team like Karlsruhe.

Five to zero.

Another five-to-0. Jin Ming played well again in this game, completing his first hat-trick of the season and the third hat-trick of his career.

It's really not worth celebrating. Because the opponent is too weak.

But also because of the weakness of the opponent, Jin Ming has only played two German Cup games this season, but he has already scored seven German Cup goals. The first round of the German Cup was a big four, and the second round was a hat-trick.

October 29, the eleventh round of the Bundesliga.

Schalke face Hoffenheim at home.

Hoffenheim is a dark horse legend in the hands of Rangnick, but unfortunately after being familiar with the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim does not have such magic. In the past two years, Hoffenheim's results have been poor, and they can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches.

Schalke won 3-1 against Hoffenheim.

Jin Ming did not score or assist in this game. However, the left side of Hoffenheim was turned upside down on the right, and the post-match rating was also the second lowest.

On November 4, the group stage of the Europa League.

Schalke returned home to face AEK Larnaca and swept away 5-0 away. Back at home, Schalke was not polite either. Won 6-0. Kim scored his second hat-trick of the season.

If you haven't played in the Europa League, you'll never understand how much belly there is in the Europa League.

It's really a fish belly.

A large number of Eastern European teams that have never heard of it are very weak in strength. It's easy to beat your opponents.

This season, Jin Ming has yet to score many goals in the Bundesliga. But seven goals were scored in two games in the German Cup and six in five games in the Europa League, for a total of thirteen goals. With the Bundesliga goal, Jin Ming has now scored almost twenty goals. It's really the best game to brush up on jù.

On 6 November, Schalke faced Hannover 96 away.

It was a tough fight.

Schalke's main players are tired one by one. But Stevens doesn't seem to see the fatigue of the main players. There is also no desire to see the substitutes playing. I just changed two positions, and then I still let the main players go up to play.

Fatigue is a very big enemy for players.

In this game Huntelaar pulled a leg injury. Huntelaar has played in almost all competitions this season. Stevens has not rested a single game since taking office. Huntelaar was not a very physical player in the first place. How can such a high-intensity use not hurt.

Although it is not very strict, it also requires a break of about three weeks.

The game didn't play well either. The Schalke players were too tired to be excited. Even a player with excellent physical fitness like Jin Ming feels that the game is too intensive. In twenty days, Jin Ming played seven games.

In the end, Schalke was held to a 2-2 draw away by the relegation team Hannover 96.

Had it not been for Papadopoulos' header in the last minute, Schalke would have been beaten by the relegation team.

…………

"Why are you here?"

Fortunately, after the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, it was an international break. So there is a half-month break. Jin Ming didn't have anything to do, because after Camacho replaced Gao Hongbo and came to the national team, he immediately ran into the World Cup qualifiers.

Gao Hongbo leads the Chinese team. The win rate is high.

Of course, there are also many people who ridicule Gao Hongbo as the "king of the qualifiers". Because when Gao Hongbo was the coach, a large number of warm-up games were arranged. And the results of these warm-up matches are very good, and the winning rate is very high.

But what fans don't know is that Gao Hongbo and the Chinese Football Association arranged so many warm-up games. It's for the national team points. It's not that they like to play warm-up games.

The Chinese team's results in the previous were too poor. The national team points are too low, and it is easy to be placed in the group of death. So the national team arranged a large number of warm-up games, and then used these warm-up games to get a lot of points for the national team. Let the Chinese team's points climb steadily.

In the end, the Chinese team got enough points with the high winning rate during that period. It turned out to be one of the five seeded teams, avoiding those strong teams in Asia.

Many people believe that there is no problem for the Chinese team to enter the top 10.

However, in the face of garbage opponents such as Singapore and Jordan, Camacho, who took office in a hurry, failed to lead the Chinese team to break through. It surprised many people. After all, what kind of garbage team is with the Chinese team. But failed to break through, and the Chinese team soon bid farewell to the World Cup qualifiers. I didn't even make it to the top 10. Therefore, Jin Ming has nothing to do during the international break.

There's no need to go back.

Because there is an agreement between Wen Dongfang and the Football Association, some simple garbage games do not need Jin Ming to go back. Of course, Jin Ming also gave up a lot of things. Just like some commercial activities arranged by the Football Association. Jin Ming also has to cooperate. In other words, Jin Ming wants to give up his own interests to the Football Association.

Both Wen Dongfang and the Football Association are satisfied with the concessions made by both sides.

So Jin Ming took advantage of this time and came to Milan.

Come and see an autumn fashion show.

"During the international break, there were no games at the club. So I came over and had a look. ”

Jin Ming's character is not too proactive person.

But since that meeting, Jin Ming and Liu Wen have never met. Just an occasional phone call. Therefore, Jin Ming took advantage of the break to hear that Liu Wen had come to the Milan fashion show, so he came to take a look.

Just take a look.

"When are you guys finishing. I'm not familiar with Milan at all, but I came to Milan in March this year to play. I haven't played in Milan either, though. ”

Jin Ming doesn't seem to have come to Germany for the third year, but apart from Germany, Jin Ming has not been to other European cities to play. At most, it's the club's European competitions, and I've been to a few European cities with the club.

"About an hour or so."

Liu Wen was very surprised that Jin Ming suddenly came to Milan.

The two really don't have much to do with each other. It's only an occasional phone call, and it's only been two or three times over the course of a few months. I didn't expect Jin Ming to come to Milan.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." (To be continued......)
