After the match with Monchengladbach, Schalke 04 also ushered in its first Champions League group match.

It was a home game against Portuguese Super League giants Porto.

Previously, when the group stage was drawn,

Schalke 04 was divided into Group D. The same group also included Porto, the champion of the Portuguese Super League last season, Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow of the Turkish Super League.

The strength of this group is not strong. Except for the number one seed Porto, the other teams are not strong opponents, so Schalke 04 still has a good hope of qualifying. On

September 17,

Schalke 04 and Porto released the game roster.

It was originally just a small matter, but Schalke fans soon found something wrong.

Why is Lin Chen not on the roster?

This discovery immediately made all Schalke fans unable to sit still.

The team's top scorer was not selected for the roster? Is Tedesco's brain broken?

Dissatisfied Schalke fans ran to the team's official blog to question the club why Lin Chen was not on the roster.

Schalke 04 obviously anticipated the fans' reaction and immediately issued a notice.

Since Lin Chen was loaned to the team late, he did not have time to register.

This statement was also communicated between Tedesco and the club.

After all, compared to telling fans that Lin Chen would rather register for the Champions League with Real Madrid, the emotional damage to the fans is insignificant, at most it is a pity.

Schalke fans all felt it was a pity. With Lin Chen's ability, he can definitely help the team go further in the Champions League.

September 18th.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Schalke 04's first Champions League game officially began.

Facing Porto, the champion of the Portuguese Super League last season and the strongest team in the group stage, Tedesco was not scared by the opponent's name.

This game is still a 3-defender formation, putting most of the players in the midfield, hoping to strangle Porto in the midfield.

Although Lin Chen was missing, Tedesco did not let Bugstärer start as the center forward, but chose Embolo, a young player from Monaco, as the single arrow.

As for Porto, the former Serie A meritorious coach Conceicao also made some adjustments and arranged a 442 formation.

In order not to cause a commotion among the fans, Lin Chen did not choose to go to the scene of this game, but chose to stay in the base to watch the live broadcast.

The final result of the game was not unexpected by Lin Chen.

Embolo, who started the game, did not live up to the expectations of head coach Tedesco.

In the 64th minute, Embolo received a pass from McKennie and shot through the gate guarded by Casillas.

Then Tedesco made a substitution adjustment, hoping to maintain the 1-0 situation.

But in the 75th minute, Otavio's goal also failed to make Tedesco's plan come true.

In the end, Schalke drew 1-1 with the visiting Porto.

After the game.

German media expressed regret for the result of this game.

Although Lin Chen did not play, there were many media mentions of Lin Chen.

Many people believe that if Lin Chen could play, Porto might not be so lucky to take a point away from the Veltins Stadium.

The local media of Schalke also looked forward to how far the team can go in the future, but most of them thought that Schalke would have no problem qualifying from the group stage, but it would be unlikely to go further.

Fans could not help but recall the scene when Neuer was still in Schalke 04.

In the 07-08 season, Neuer played 50 times for Schalke, played every minute of the 34 rounds of the Bundesliga, and helped Schalke rank third in the Bundesliga.

After that, the team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

In the 1/8 finals, they also met Porto, but this game was Neuer's famous battle.

Neuer saved Bruno Alves and Lisandro Lopez's goals in the penalty shootout, helping the team advance to the quarterfinals!

Although the team lost to the superstar-studded Barcelona in the quarterfinals, the fans were still very satisfied with the team's performance.

Therefore, Schalke fans very much hope to have a player like Neuer who can lead the team to go further in the Champions League by himself.

However, the highly anticipated Lin Chen could not play in the game because he failed to register, which disappointed many Schalke fans.......

On September 21st, when everyone was still immersed in the last Champions League group match, Schalke 04's fourth round of the Bundesliga game has arrived.

Schalke 04 is about to face Werder Bremen at home.

This small team that has been fighting in the Bundesliga for many years also has some impressive results.

But what's interesting is that almost every summer, the Parrots lose their best players.

Gnabry last summer, Vestergaard the summer before, or Di Santo who transferred to Schalke 04 three years ago, are all like this.

This year is no exception. Danish international Delaney moved to Dortmund before the World Cup.

What is impressive is that Bremen has changed its previous caution in the transfer market and invested 24 million euros in signings in the summer window this year.

Directly bought Dutch international Klaassen, who joined as the team's record signing.....

On September 22, the day before the match, the rosters of both teams were released.

Lin Chen, who had not played for a long time, also appeared in the starting lineup.
