Chapter 169: Defeating Schalke

Tottenham won a complete victory at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's doorstep, yes, a complete victory, a 4-0 victory over the opponent, and the victory in this game made Tottenham fans excited for a long time.

But is that enough?

"Don't be too happy too soon, I don't want you to let go of all your passion too soon, our season is not over yet, the win over Arsenal is just a small achievement, what we are going to achieve next is really exciting!"

In the next game, Tottenham will travel to Schalke in Germany, where they will play Schalke 04 in the second leg of this season's Champions League quarter-knockout round.

In the first leg, Tottenham won a 3:0 cleanly at White Hart Lane, and throughout the game, Tottenham firmly grasped the initiative on the field, basically not giving Schalke 04 any decent chance.

This time, going to the away side, although the opponent has the right time and place, but the difference in strength between the two sides, even the German media, also has no big expectations for Schalke 04 to turn the tables at home.

Magath, like Arsene Wenger, refused to lose half a point even if he didn't know what to do, and at the pre-match press conference, the German stubborn old man looked confident, as if he had booked his tickets to the next match in advance.

"Who's to say we don't have a chance, isn't the knockout round a two-round contest? We've just lost one game now, it's not a big deal, we still have one more game, and it's at home, since Tottenham can win at home, why can't we Schalke 04, don't forget, we are a German team, the common DNA of the German team is, tenacity, I believe in my players, my team is ready, for this game, I believe that after 90 minutes of play, we can get a satisfactory result! ”

All right! Coach Magath looks like he's drunk a confidence potion!

Self-confidence is of course a good thing, but in a football game, what can really play a key role in the final outcome is the 90 minutes on the football field, the real battle of real guns.

The game was played at the home of Schalke 04, which had the advantage of being at home, and this game completely continued the starting line-up of the previous game, and similarly, Tottenham did not make any changes.

The same lineup makes people wonder about Magath, so why does the old man believe that his team can turn the tables at home?

Tottenham broke the deadlock in the 10th minute of the first half, when Degan's free-kick widened the aggregate to four goals.

However, the cameras at the scene captured the moment Degan's free-kick flew over the Schalke 04 goal line, Magath looked completely unmoved.

This makes people a little puzzled, you must know that Magath is a famous temper in German football, every game, it is indispensable to listen to him shouting on the sidelines, and now Magath is so quiet, is he really still ready to kill.

After conceding the goal, Schalke 04 did launch a ferocious counterattack, but it seemed that he was still playing the old routine in the Bundesliga, and the midfield three sent the ball to Huntelaar.

But the problem is that without Raul, it will be too difficult for them to pass through the Tottenham defence, and although Huntelaar is very active, he lacks enough support up front, and he looks alone and haggard.

Then, Tottenham extended their lead again in the 23rd minute of the game, this time it was Degan's pass, and Sigurdsson, who followed up in the middle, hit the goal with a heavy shot, so that German fans could not help but be awakened to the memory of Iceland's big snipe.

You must know that when he played for Hoffenheim, Sigurdsson hit the goal vigorously outside the penalty area, but it shocked the entire German football world.

But the problem is that they are all 0:2 behind, Magath is still indifferent, standing on the sidelines with his shoulders on his shoulders, with an unfathomable appearance, which makes Antienes wonder if he is looking down on his opponent too much.

In the stands, the fans of Schalke 04 can't stand it anymore, if you really have a trick, take it out quickly! Don't seep anymore, if you continue to seep like this, I'm afraid that even the underwear will lose to the opponent.

Aftermath?

Magath would have laughed if he knew what people were expecting, and even if he did, of course, it would be a bitter smile.

What else can you do!?

Now the aggregate score is five goals behind, and two of them are still Tottenham's away goals, Schalke 04 wants to win, to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, you must score six goals against Tottenham, what are you kidding, six goals, you think it's a bubble!

As for why Magat looks unfathomable, can Uncle Ma still tell people that he is numb?

Mourning is greater than heart death!

Magath is in this state now!

Gradually, Tottenham also discovered the real situation hidden behind Magath's incomprehensibility, and since it was all like this, it had to be laughed at.

Before the end of the first half, Degan burst into the Schalke 04 penalty area with the ball and slammed a powerful shot, Hildebrand symbolically raised his hand to sign, and then it was time to watch the Tottenham players celebrate wildly.

In the stands, those Tottenham fans who traveled with the team have already started to celebrate in advance, before this season, Tottenham's best record in the Champions League was the quarter-finals, and now it is a big leap to reach the semi-finals, but they have reason to expect more, because they have Degan, the final, and even the championship, these things that were once far away from them, now seem to be in front of them.

At halftime, Deegan was replaced, and it was not interesting to continue playing, and now the opponent is clearly a pair, holding his head and pouting his ass to beg for the virtue of light abuse, bullying such an opponent, will not give Deegan any sense of achievement.

In the second half, the substitute Defoe successfully countered offside near the end of the game, scored a goal, and finally locked the score at 4:0, 7:0 in the two-legged battle, Tottenham defeated Schalke 04, after the game, Magath was also dismissed by Schalke 04 at the first time.

Counting Magath, after Degan joined Tottenham, he has sent away three managers, Mancini, Di Matteo, and now he is even more bullish, and they have all begun to send the head coach of the German club out of class.
