Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 213 Against a Strong Enemy
Successfully won the first victory of the Champions League at home, and Schalke 04's points reached 4 points, surpassing Panathinaikos and coming to the third place.

The second place is still Anorthosis. In this round of the game, they had a goal battle with Inter Milan at home. The final score was 3:3. This score surprised many players. The real surprise was not that Anorthosis was able to draw with Inter Milan, but Anorthosis's attack power at home was not as weak as everyone imagined.

Last time they scored three goals at home and beat Panathinaikos completely. This time they scored three goals and drew with the powerful Inter Milan. It seems that their dark horse is still quite heavy.

No.1的国际米兰现在积10分，No.2的安诺索西斯积5分，No.3沙尔克04积4分，排名末位的帕纳辛纳科斯积3分。

After this round, the situation in Group B has become more and more complicated. Only Inter Milan occupies a favorable position, while the other three teams are likely to advance, and of course they may also be eliminated.

Schalke 04 is finally close to No.2 in the group. The difference of 1 point is not too much, but there are still two games to come, and they cannot afford to lose.

After this round of the match, the German media mainly reported three things about Schalke 04. The first thing was that they finally won the Champions League group stage, and the hope of qualifying was greatly increased. The second thing was Bolton’s post-match press conference. Unscrupulous reporters have written articles about the incident, saying that Bolton's state and performance have declined this season, and he should abdicate. The well-founded analysis made Bolton very unhappy.

The third thing is naturally Schalke 10's home game against Bayern Munich on October 9th.

Bayern Munich's coach this season is Klinsmann. The former German international and former German national team coach was chosen by Bayern Munich entirely because of his outstanding performance in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

In the 2006 World Cup, Germany's offensive football style made German fans hooked. In that World Cup, the German team was not the favorite to compete for the championship, but they played the momentum of the championship.

Bayern Munich fell in love with the former golden bomber-Klinsmann after Hitzfeld decided to retire.

Klinsmann has a rich career experience as a player, but as a head coach, his resume is not rich, but because of the World Cup, almost all German footballers think he is a young and talented head coach.

The call of Bayern Munich is not surprising, and after Klinsmann took office, he began to transform Bayern Munich, mainly to promote his own philosophy in the national team and play offensive football.

The effect is still there. So far this season, Bayern Munich has scored the most goals among all teams. They averaged 3 goals at home and 1.4 goals away from home. The attack power is very strong.

Just looking at the offense, you will feel that Bayern is stronger, but if you look at the defense, you will know why they are not number one but fourth now.

In the 11 rounds of the league, Bayern Munich conceded 17 goals, which is basically the second-to-last position among all teams.

On average, they conceded 1.5 goals per game. You must know that they only conceded 21 goals in total last season. Can such a performance on the defensive end work in the Bundesliga?

所以现在11轮过后，他们也仅仅取得6胜3平2负，比起沙尔克04来讲并没有好到哪儿去。

It's just that Bayern Munich's top management is obviously more patient than Schalke 04's top management, and Klinsmann is still sitting in the position of head coach.

It's hard to say who will be the winner of the recovering Schalke 04 against the powerful Bayern Munich.

The celebrities and managers of the two teams made appearances one after another, expressing their opinions freely in the interviews.

"I am optimistic about Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich's offensive power is stronger this season. Their only shortcoming is that there are still problems in defense. If you want to win at the Schalke Stadium, Jurgen must solve this problem. You know Schalke Ke 04's offensive power is not bad, and they have recovered significantly in recent games!" Effenberg said.

"I think Bayern Munich has an advantage in this game. After all, their strength is much stronger than Schalke 04! Bayern Munich has been in good form recently. It has won four consecutive league victories and is gradually on the right track!" After retiring, Ka En Ru said that he and Klinsmann were not so right.

At that time, in the 2006 World Cup, Kahn was pushed out of the main goalkeeper position by Klinsmann, but let another veteran Lehmann sit in the starting lineup.

However, in the current situation of the enemy, Kahn is still optimistic about his favorite.

"Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a strong team, but I am more optimistic about Schalke 04. Schalke 04 is in very good condition during this period!" Schalke 04's top scorer in history, Fischer, obviously favors his old club.

"Of course I am optimistic about Schalke 04, don't ask me why?! Because we are Schalke 04! They don't have any advantage!" Olaf Ton, a member of the 1990 World Cup champion, is also a famous player of Schalke 04.

"The winner of this game will rise to a new height before the winter break, while the loser needs to regain his feeling." Schalke 04 manager Muller said.

The personnel of the two teams also showed up one after another, each talking about their own words. Zhang Yuan was injured in the match against Bayern Munich last season, so he was absent for more than a month. It can be said that he has a bitter hatred for Bayern Munich. Of course His grievances are mainly aimed at Lucio who deliberately stepped on him.

"I have nothing to say, just wait and see! We will win Bayern Munich!" Zhang Yuan said to the reporter in a positive tone.

He has already made up his mind to make Lucio look good this time, no matter how good-looking, he naturally wants to win Bayern Munich and step on them hard.

The two days of training Buskens and Mulder are mainly for recovery training, the amount of training is not large, no matter who Bayern Munich is, they are determined to play their own style in this game, and they must make full use of Bayern Munich's defense loopholes.

Zhang Yuan has also been working hard to adjust his physical condition in the past two days, mainly not to make himself feel too tired.

The arrangement of Buskens and Mulder is just to his liking. The entire Schalke 04 team is preparing for the game in a very relaxed state. After all, the importance of this game is not as important as the previous one. The game against Panathinaikos.

Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich are not mortal rivals. The background of the round shows how many grades Schalke 04 is behind. There are very few fierce competitions. The two teams are not a derby. It’s just a league game. Not the end of the world.

The game came as scheduled, and the flag of Schalke 04 was flying inside and outside the Schalke Stadium. Schalke 04's home court was once again full.

"Everyone in front of the TV, hello everyone! Today we bring you a focus match in the No.12 round of the Bundesliga. Schalke 04 played against the defending champion Bayern Munich at home! They rank fourth and fifth in the standings, and the gap between the two is only 1 point. It can be said that this game is a game worth 6 points. It should be said that both teams have shown their strength recently. In good condition, Schalke has won two consecutive victories after the coaching change in 04, while Bayern Munich has won four consecutive victories. Today we invite the commentator Tao Weitao to guide you. You are more optimistic about this game Who?" Sports TV commentator Duan Xuan asked guest commentator Tao Wei.

"It's hard to say in this game. Schalke 04 did not perform well some time ago. Rutten dismissed get out of class. The main reason is that there were too many draws, which dragged down their results. In fact, their home court has only conceded 2 goals so far. And Bayern Munich's offensive power is indeed the best in the Bundesliga, but they don't have many away goals, and now they only have 7 goals. Compared with the home game, they are completely in a different state. Of course, I am still optimistic about Bayern Munich!" Tao Wei He has been a Bundesliga commentator for many years and has a deep understanding of the Bundesliga. In fact, he is a Bayern Munich fan, and everyone knows it.

Duan Xuan and Tao Wei continued to chat about the topic of the game in the commentary room, while players on both sides of the stadium were already standing in the player tunnel.

Today Klinsmann has a 442 formation:
Goalkeeper: Rensing

Defenders: Odo, Lucio, Demichelis, Ze Roberto

Midfielders: Ribéry, Van Bommel, Kroos, Borowski
Forwards: Klose, Toni

Tony Kroos is a young player born in the same year as Zhang Yuan. He is only a few months older than Zhang Yuan. He doesn't have many chances to play in Bayern Munich now, but he got a chance to rotate in this game.
