Chapter 822: The quarterfinals
"We already have Kameni now, and we are not really interested in Neuer!" Hugo spoke again, and he said the same thing again, that he was not interested in Neuer. Theunis and Helt were a little disappointed, and Morek was thoughtful.
Soon the two sides stopped talking about this topic. It was almost time. Morek took Theunis and Helt to the prepared box to watch the game, while Hugo took his family to the family's special box.
Morek and Hugo did not agree. He was actually very interested in introducing Neuer, but he did not say anything at this time. It was good to whet Schalke 04's appetite. These Germans were not here to make more money. As long as Trapani joined, Neuer's price was destined to rise anyway. Bayern Munich could only raise the price. They especially needed a new goalkeeper to join.
Magath's team has been in low morale recently. After losing to Trapani in the first round, they didn't win a single league game. It can be seen that the morale is low. The momentum in the Champions League group stage has come to an abrupt end. The financial situation is not the only thing that bothers Theunis and Helt, but also Magath's position as the head coach.
Magath's current position in Schalke 04 is not as simple as a head coach. When he was poached, Theunis and Helt and other senior executives of the board of directors and the board of supervisors promised him great power. Not only is he the head coach, but more importantly, Magath is the general manager of Schalke 04.
This position is more powerful than the head coach of the Premier League. Magath has the final say in all aspects of the club, so Magath can rule the army with iron blood and drive away all those who don't obey. Kuranyi, Asamoah and others all left in this way.
There are too many young players in the team now. Magath made some miscalculations. Now that Trapani has beaten him to his original form, Theunis will definitely not continue to believe in him. The German media has predicted that perhaps the away game against Trapani will be Magath's last battle at Schalke 04.
The game started soon. Magath stood on the sidelines from the first minute. No one wanted to leave, and he was no exception. He was also very nervous about the life-and-death battle, but the game did not go as he imagined. He imagined that the boys in his hands would run like crazy and win the game.
The reality is that Schalke 04 was at the bottom from the first minute. The fight was not fierce at all compared to the home court, and there was no courage to win. Such Schalke 04 was naturally not Trapani's opponent. Trapani's fierce offensive reaped the effect in the 5th minute. Di Maria made a low pass to the penalty area, Suarez ran and directly blocked the ball into the goal. Central defender Hevedes was obviously not a step slower and did not keep up with Suarez's running position.
Before the first half, Trapani was leading by 3:0, and there was a 99% chance of advancing to the quarterfinals. Hugo's family was very happy in the stands, and Angelo was dancing with joy. He was not very old, but he was very passionate about football. Now he not only participated in the football training class, but also asked Hugo to take him to the Pacheco training base.
Even Julia sighed, "Okay, now it's good! Our family has a successor!"
The second half of the game was not very important. Messi, who had already scored a goal, was replaced again. El Shaarawy came on the court. Then, not long after playing, Wenger made another substitution. Witsel replaced Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger's position is very important, and it is very important now because Mascherano is injured, so the only candidates for the defensive midfielder position are Schweinsteiger and Witsel. If there is a chance to give Schweinsteiger a rest, Wenger is still very happy.
Although two players were substituted, Trapani's offensive was not reduced, but their luck in the second half was much worse than in the first half, and they still failed to score. Schalke 04 improved a little in the second half. It is estimated that Magath must have lost his temper in the midfield, and the players barely improved a little, but there were still not many opportunities. In the end, they could only accept the outcome of the away defeat.
Neuer's performance was not as heroic as in the previous round, but at least it was still at a normal level. He was powerless to do anything about the few goals because they were all goals in open play. Schalke 04's defense really failed to help him well, which was not very related to him.
After the game, Theunis and Helt did not stay in the box, but went directly to the locker room. Theunis wanted to fire Magath on the spot, but scolded the Schalke 04 players. According to media reports after the game, Theunis believed that the performance of the Schalke 04 players was completely unworthy of the jerseys on their bodies. He threatened that if anyone continued to be so passive and lazy, treated Schalke 04 as a transit station, did not work hard, and ran away after use, there would be no way, and the club would give these people some good things.
He was obviously scolding Neuer. Maybe Neuer's performance in the last game gave him courage and confidence. Neuer's average performance in this game made Theunis and others feel that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Neuer really dared to be angry but did not dare to speak in the locker room. He was a player born and raised in Schalke 04. It goes without saying that he has feelings for the team. He is also under great pressure. If Theunis insists on throwing shit on him, what he fears most is that the fans of Schalke 04 will no longer support him and boo him.
During the match against Bayern Munich last year, he also mocked the Bayern Munich fans at the Allianz Arena, so deep down he didn't want to go to Bayern Munich. Of course, what he feared most was actually the folks in his hometown. Going to Bayern Munich would be like betraying Schalke 04.
…
Naturally, everyone in Trapani was happy, not conceding a goal in two rounds, which was wonderful. Wenger praised the boys on the court after the game. "Today our performance was as good as ever! Our opponents also caused us a lot of trouble! But we were really good and defeated our opponents' will with goals!"
"Mr. Wenger, in the quarter-final draw, who would you rather face?!" The game had just ended, and many reporters had already begun to inquire about the next step.
"Qualfinals?! I don't have any particular preference! Well, if I have a choice, I would like to play Barcelona as my opponent!" Wenger hesitated when answering, but he also expressed the truest thoughts deep in his heart.
Wenger's idea is actually this: Trapani is the top contender for the championship now. Their odds of winning the championship in the bookmaker are 5 to 1, and Barcelona's odds are 7.5 to 1. According to outside public opinion, It seems that there are naturally more people who prefer Trapani. Everyone thinks that Trapani is better than Barcelona.
Wenger does not necessarily agree. He believes that the strength of the two teams is almost the same. If the two teams finally meet in the final, it would be too cruel to determine the outcome in one game. He may still be a Trapani player. Well, no mistakes can be made.
If the two teams meet in the knockout round, everything will be much better. If there are some problems in the first round, there are still 90 minutes to change. There is no such opportunity in the final.
Based on such nonsense, Wenger would rather meet Barcelona in the knockout rounds.
I don’t know if Wenger is a crow’s mouth or something, but the Champions League round of 16 is over, the quarter-final draw is held in Switzerland, and Trapani is indeed the winner of Barcelona.
Another Italian team, Inter Milan, was obviously much more lucky than Trapani and they were able to draw Shakhtar Donetsk, the weakest team among the top eight teams. This was a serious draw.
Wenger's dream came true, but this dream is definitely not in line with the dream of most people in Trapani.
"This is not a good team, but we have never been afraid of Barcelona! I don't deny that Barcelona is a very good team, but I want to say that we are the best team!" Morek was confident after the draw. said.
In fact, he is about to step down as chairman of Trapani, and his shares are also going to be acquired by Hugo, because he is going to run for chairman of the Football Association, and his interest relationship with the team must be clear at least on the surface.
