On 25 September, AC Milan won 1-0 away at Treviso.

In this game, Suker assisted Inzaghi to score a goal and won easily.

Suker also set a new record for himself in this match.

Three goals, four assists!

After three days of recuperation in the league, on September 28, the AC Milan team flew to Germany to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League group stage.

Champions League Group E:

AC Milan, PSC PSV Eindhoven, Schalke 04, Fenerbahce.

After the first leg, AC Milan comfortably won their first victory.

They will next face Schalke 04 from Germany.

Schalke 04 is located in Westphalia, Germany, and belongs to the Ruhr area together with Dortmund, so it is also known as the Ruhr derby.

Schalke 04 is a team that follows the German tough style of play.

Their performance in the 2001/2002 season amazed everyone.

It almost overthrew Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title, but at the last minute, it was a bad move.

The current Schalke 04 is still thinking about competing for the championship again with Bayern Munich and other strong teams.

But Schalke 04 is no longer as combat-ready as it once was.

This time around, they will be at home against AC Milan, who are probably the toughest team in Europe at the moment, and they will naturally feel a lot of pressure.

Once in Germany, Suker called Mandzukic.

"Hey! Suke, I've booked a ticket for tomorrow, I'll go and cheer you on! ”

On the phone, Mandzukic's voice was extremely cheerful.

Suker blinked: "You're going to the stadium at Schalke 04 to cheer me on?" ”

Mandzukic: "That's right! ”

Suker: "Have you forgotten that you are a Borussia Dortmund player? You're going to be killed! ”

"I've bought the Schalke 04 jersey, dress up when the time comes, no one will recognize me!"

Suke embarrassed.

If Dortmund knew you, you would be killed!"

Sucre; "Is there any news you can tell me?"

Mandzukic; 'It's nothing special, despite being mortal enemies, Schalke 04 is very strong, we play against them every time, and it smells of gunpowder, they have a lot of pressure in the midfield, you have to be careful, they like to use their bodies to apply pressure.

Mandzukic went on and on, but none of them were particularly crucial.

"Alright, it's time for me to get in the car, and if we have time, we'll get back together!"

"Okay! No problem, come on! Sucre! ”

Suke nodded and hung up.

Kaka leaned over from the side.

"Girlfriend?"

Sooke turned his head; "Guess!"

Kaka shook her head; "It's supposed to be a male friend!"

Suke kicked Kaka in the ass, who laughed and jumped on the bus.

The Ruhr area is an industrial region in Germany, with many factories and heavy equipment such as trucks, forklifts, and bulldozers on the road.

The whole city feels 'hard'.

It's like a bed.

Suke sat on the bed, he tried to press down hard, and there was a creaking sound on the bed, but there was almost no intention of sinking.

"What kind of mattress is this?"

Suk pressed the hard, plank-like mattress.

Suke was about to go out and inquire about the situation in the other rooms, only to hear a 'bang', and the next second, Pirlo slammed the door and began to run wildly in the corridor.

Then there is no need to doubt who is behind.

"Bastard Pirlo give me a stop!!"

Gattuso angrily rushed out of the room and chased in the direction of Pirlo.

Su Ke walked into the room between the two of them, only to see that one of the beds had collapsed.

Pirlo's tricks on Gattuso began to become more and more 'cruel'.

Eventually, the team manager called in the hotel manager and updated all the mattresses after consultation between the two parties.

There is no way!

AC Milan said directly, if they don't change the mattress, they will change to a hotel.

The hotel is also intended to capitalize on AC Milan's fame.

This is the confidence of the giants.

It was not their responsibility to change the beds in the hotel, and after the preparation, the whole team drove to the training ground for pre-match preparation.

The pre-match preparations are based on relaxed tactical training.

Kaka is particularly hardworking.

Having been pressed by Carlo Ancelotti for two games, he thinks it's time to make a comeback.

Moreover, Kaka thinks that his form has also improved.

He's ready to fight for Milan.

The next day, all eyes were on the Stade Veltins.

The Westphalian Stadium, which is also a bitter rival of the derby, is known as the home of the Devils, and the Weltings Stadium has also created a roar of 129 decibels.

This also shows how hot this stadium is!

Under the spotlights at night, the entire Veltins Stadium is illuminated extremely brightly.

More than 50,000 Schalke 04 fans erupted in violent cheers, and waves of roaring through the stadium made people's eardrums rise.

In the middle of the field, players from both sides were already warming up, and in one corner of the stands, two guys wearing Schalke 04 jerseys were sneaking around.

"I'm crazy, I just came with you, we're going to be found out and killed!"

One of the smaller of the two covered his head with a hat and pinched the ends of the brim to cover his face.

The other was taller and dressed the same.

Both wore Schalke 04 jerseys.

These two are Mandzukic and Shahin, who play for Borussia Dortmund.

"Be quiet! Watch the game in silence! Mandzukic turned his head and whispered.

Shaheen looked nervously around.

Schalke 04 fans surrounded by blue jerseys could not imagine the consequences if they were to know that the Dortmund players were close by.

Mandzukic's eyes kept looking at the court.

In a short time, both sides had finished their warm-up and returned to the dressing room, which was a signal that the game was about to begin.

"Relax, you look suspicious."

Mandzukic turned his head and complained.

Shahin covered his head and kept looking left and right, which was suspicious.

Of course, not only Shahin, but Mandzukic is also suspicious.

After a while, Shahin slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the fans around him didn't seem to pay that much attention to them.

"Schalke 04 is very strong, and it is still playing at home, can AC Milan win?"

Shaheen asked.

Mandzukic; "Definitely winning, you don't know how good Suker is."

Shaheen pouted.

He recognises Suker as the Golden Boot of the Champions League, but he is nowhere near the level of a top star.

It seemed to him to be suspenseful.

Shaheen made his debut for Borussia Dortmund this season and is the youngest player in German history.

He also featured in the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04.

Seriously, that match was a disaster, more like wrestling than a match.

The team wounded several main forces.

But even so, they still lost at home to Schalke 04.

At present, Dortmund are not on the rise and are not very competitive in the league.

Shaheen experienced that game firsthand, so he thinks Schalke 04 is strong.

Of course, AC Milan is also strong, even stronger, but after all, it is the home of Schalke 04.

AC Milan want to win, it's going to be difficult.

At this moment, the players of both sides started the pitch and walked onto the pitch.

Schalke 04 (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Rost.

Defenders: Rodriguez, Raphinha, Bordon, Krstadzic.

Midfielders: Lincoln, Poulsen, Ernst, Kobyashvili.

Forwards: Kuranyi, Larsson.

AC Milan (4-3-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Dida.

Defenders: Cafu, Nesta, Stam, Maldini.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf.

Forwards: Kaka, Shepchenko, Suker.

"This is the second round of the 2005/2006 Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 vs. AC Milan!"

"The German giants are facing the challenge of the Serie A giants, can they defend their dignity at home!"

The excitement of the German commentators resounded through the streets of the German team.

After all, it was an AC Milan game, and there was a lot of attention.

The captains of both sides chose sides, and AC Milan got the kick-off.

They've had a lot of luck lately and have always been able to win sides.

"Schalke 04 is very good at physical confrontation, don't fight with them!"

Before the start of the match, Suker and Kaka were put on the shoulders by Maldini to teach them experience.

The two of them also kept nodding their heads in understanding.

And this scene was watched by Mandzukic in the stands.

He was envious!

When was he also surrounded by superstars, he was hugged by Maldini's shoulders.

Although Dortmund is also good, compared to AC Milan, it is not only a notch off!

"The game is about to begin!"

Shaheen whispered.

At this point, players from both sides are already standing on either side of the pitch.

Suker and Shepchenko were already standing in the center circle, ready to kick off.

The referee makes a final confirmation to the goalkeepers and players on both sides.

After confirming that it was correct, the referee ran out of the penalty area and blew the whistle decisively.

Beep!!!

The whistle blew.

"It's game on! This is the second round of the 2005/2006 Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 against AC Milan, AC Milan kicked off the first half.

In the fierce cheers of the scene, the game officially began.
