The level of the battle between Maritimo and Red Bull Salzburg was far beyond expectations.

This match was also officially named the best match in the group stage of the Champions League by UEFA.

The ungodly performance of the two goalkeepers has attracted the attention of fans, media and football professionals.

In this round of the selection of the best team in the Champions League, although Kleninson conceded two goals, he was still elected the best goalkeeper with a super high number of saves and a success rate.

It's just that because the team lost, in this round of Champions League MVP selection, Messi, who led Barcelona to a three-goal victory with 1 pass and 2 shots, was ranked second.

However, in the eyes of many professional football people, Niu Gensheng's performance is better than Klenningsen.

It's not just because he didn't concede a goal, but also because he made a lot of incredible saves with non-standard saving actions.

You can say that his technique is not standardized, but why not be in a class of its own?

Although the position of the goalkeeper is fixed, the technical style is varied.

There are technical streams like Casillas, goalkeepers like Neuer, and crazy streams like Ikita......

Who dares to say that Niu Gensheng can't become a generation of grandmasters with "body instinct flow"?

In another match in Group E of the Champions League, Real Madrid defeated Schalke 04 3-1 at the Bernabeu to finally achieve a long-awaited victory.

At the end of the three rounds, Maritimo won two and drew one, accumulated 7 points, scored 8 goals and conceded 3 goals, and ranked first in the group.

Real Madrid has 1 win, 2 draws, 5 points, scored 6 goals and conceded 3 goals, ranking second in the group.

RB Salzburg has 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 4 points, scored 5 goals and conceded 5 goals, ranking third in the group.

Schalke 04 is the worst, Xiucai moved all books, lost all three games, scored 3 goals and conceded 10 goals, and confirmed the position of "deputy squad leader".

Based on past experience, the third and fourth rounds of the Champions League group stage are watersheds, and it can basically be seen who can qualify and who has to go home.

The situation in Group E is also starting to become clearer.

Schalke 04 have little hope left, and their best hope is to play the remaining three games and try to move up to third place in the group and play in the Europa League.

Maritimo are in first place, but they are only one goal away from third-placed Red Bull Salzburg, so they should not be taken lightly, and they will need to pick up at least one point against Austria in their next game to cement their advantage in the table.

Real Madrid can continue to sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight, what they have to do is to play steadily, try not to capsize in the gutter, and win Schalke 04 again in the next game.

The most delicate situation in qualifying is Red Bull Salzburg. Although they are only three points behind first-placed Maritimo, they are on the verge of elimination if they lose their next game. You can only go to Real Madrid, which is full of fighting spirit, away from home, and it is almost an impossible task!

Therefore, Red Bull Salzburg must win the next game, and even if it is a draw, it will be difficult for them to accept.

The puzzle was thrown to Marsch and his teammates. Gao Yuan doesn't need to think too much, he just needs to deal with the next games with peace of mind.

The smoke of the Champions League has not yet dissipated, and the Portuguese Super League has started again.

At home against the not too strong Saibatur. Gao Yuan stuck to his rotation strategy, and compared to the Champions League squad four days ago, Maritimo changed almost completely from the inside out.

Maritimo's depth on the bench and the quality of his training were on full display, winning 2-1 at home despite being a full substitute. It has won three consecutive victories since the national team's training day.

But there was no time to celebrate, and the "third front" of the Portuguese Cup is back in action, against Estoril Praglia in the second division.

Facing an opponent of this level, a game of such a level, Gao Yuan and his teammates are easy to deal with.

Gao Yuan didn't even make special preparations, completely regarded this game as a daily training and teaching game to play, and still played as a full substitute, and the more mature substitute players who had run in had accumulated rich experience in the continuous game, showing the strength of several grades higher than the opponent, and easily achieved a 5:0 victory without effort.

The arduous schedule is finally halfway over, and while the other Portuguese Super League teams participating in the Champions League are showing fatigue, Maritimo is in a red state, the players' physical fitness and desire to play are in an extremely excited state, and all the players in the first team have a record of appearances.

In their next Portuguese Premier League game, they will face old rivals Benfica.

The same southern and northern battles have exhausted Benfica, and the main players have been injured, some of them are not in good health, some are in extremely poor condition, and the team as a whole is completely unable to compare with Maritimo in full swing.

In the middle of next week, they have to fight Leicester City in the Champions League, so they don't have the heart to spend too much with Maritimo, and they have a pure substitute line-up due to their lack of fighting spirit.

Maritimo, who is in good shape, sent a semi-main lineup according to his own rotation plan. On the one hand, it is because the main players have been well rested and have enough physical fitness to fight continuously; On the other hand, a moderate game helps the main players to stay competitive.

It's like a horse race. Maritimo used a medium horse to compete with the opponent's inferior horse, and there was no reason to win, a crisp and neat 3:0, and the former "second brother of the Portuguese Super League" was cut under the horse.

With the joy and passion of his winning streak, Maritimo flew all the way to Austria to prepare for the fourth round of Group E of the Champions League.

Red Bull Salzburg is in much worse shape than it was two weeks ago.

The state of competitive sports is like running an 800-meter middle-distance run. If you start smoothly at the beginning and maintain a good rhythm during the period, then you can achieve good results without too much hard running. However, if you suddenly lose your breath and disrupt your rhythm in the middle of the run, you are likely to lose your breath and run in 2 and a half minutes.

The Champions League loss to Maritimo made Red Bull Salzburg angry, and they had been doing well before, but they were hit in the face, not only lost, but also suffered a big impact on their form and morale.

After that game, due to huge fluctuations in physical fitness and mood, in the league that started next, it was actually forced to draw 0:0 by the weak Graz Storm.

After a week's rest, Red Bull Salzburg has hidden most of their main players in the league in order to prepare for the crucial fourth round of the Champions League.

However, the opponent in this round is Offsberg led by Hidehito Yoshikawa.

Hidehito Yoshikawa, who has been holding his breath, and his teammates will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. Maritimo's win over Red Bull Salzburg had taught them enough to give them a great game to beat Red Bull 2-0, who were once considered insurmountable.

In fact, if it weren't for Kleningsen's excellent performance in front of the goal, it would probably be a fiasco that will go down in team history!

In an interview after the game, Hidehito Yoshikawa admitted that Takato, who is also a rising star in the Asian coaching world, gave him courage, confidence, and inspiration.

The media of good things threw up a tricky question. "You and Gao Yuan are two star coaches in Asia, who do you think is better than the two?"

Yoshikawa Hidehito was silent for a moment and replied:

"More than 100 years ago, at the celebration banquet after defeating the Russian Pacific and Baltic Fleets, General Heihachiro Togo showed his waist card of 'bowing down to the sun all his life', and I want to say that Gao Yuanjun is my mentor and friend in this life and the goal of catching up, I am not as good as him!"
