Chapter 265 Reaching the Semifinals

The first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is over, and the second round is just a week later, but there will be a league game in the middle.

On April 5th, in the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went away to challenge Werder Bremen.

In this game, Stevens still planned to arrange some rotations for the team, but Li Chenglong took the initiative to ask to play.

At present, Schalke has achieved a great advantage in the first round of the Champions League. Li Chenglong feels that the team does not need a large-scale rotation.

Moreover, although Li Chenglong himself lags far behind in the competition for the European Golden Boot, it is not that he has no chance, and he still wants to work hard.

At the same time, Bayern just ended their winning streak, and now they have to be distracted by the Champions League. Maybe they will make mistakes and continue to lose points. Maybe Schalke will have a chance to chase points.

Taking these into consideration, it is reasonable for Li Chenglong to ask to play, and it is justified.

Werder Bremen is currently in a desperate position in the standings, so even if Schalke has rotated, it is not difficult to play at the Weser Stadium.

In the opening ten minutes, the opponent scored first.

However, in more than 30 minutes, Gretzka, who won the first game in this game, scored with a long shot and helped Schalke equalize the score.

In the second half, Li Chenglong received a pass from the magnetic card in the penalty area, came up with a rubbing shot, and scored the ball into the upper left corner of the opponent's goal.

In this way, Schalke reversed and defeated Werder Bremen 2:1 away, ending the two rounds of the league without victories.

And in this round of the game, Bayern really lost points.

In preparation for the Champions League, they arranged a full bench lineup in the Bavarian Derby. In the end, they lost 0:1 to Augsburg in the away game and suffered two rounds of Bundesliga winless.

This is Bayern's second loss in the Bundesliga this season. The last time was an away loss to Schalke 04 in the sixth round of the league.

If Bayern loses, Schalke will regain the three-point gap in the standings.

At present, Bayern has 75 points and Schalke has 68 points. The difference between the two teams has narrowed to 7 points.

In the other games of this round, Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg 2:1 at home, Borussia won Nuremberg 2:0 away, and Leverkusen lost 1:2 away to Hamburg.

In this case, the Bumblebee's qualification for the Champions League is relatively stable, currently leading the fifth place by 8 points, and Borussia tied with Leverkusen in points, and ranked fourth by virtue of their goal difference advantage, leaving Leverkusen behind. Sen squeezed his way up to fifth place.

At present, Leverkusen and Borussia both have 48 points, while Wolfsburg has 47 points. The points of the three teams are very tight. Next, they will compete with each other in the last five rounds of the league to grab the last qualification for the Bundesliga Champions League.

Jackie Lee scored a goal in the Bundesliga, while Suarez did not score in the Premier League.

Also in La Liga, Diego Costa did not score, Ronaldo was absent due to injury, but Messi scored twice in the game.

In the ranking of the European Golden Boot, Suarez scored 29 goals, Ronaldo scored 28 goals, Messi and Diego Costa both scored 25 goals, and Jackie Chan scored 24 goals.

Jackie Chan's Bundesliga Golden Boot is basically stable, because currently both Lewandowski and Mandzukic have only 17 goals, and it is difficult to catch up with him.

But in the competition for the European Golden Boot, Jackie Lee is in a relatively unfavorable position, 5 goals behind Suarez, who is at the top of the list, and there are Ronaldo, Messi and Diego Costa pressing him in front of him.

However, there are still 5 rounds left in the Bundesliga, and it is not that there is no chance.

※※※

After the Bundesliga, the next round is the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Paris has confirmed that Ibrahimovic will miss the second round, which also makes Schalke fans more at ease.

Although everyone is saying that Ibrahimovic's legs are weak when he plays in the Champions League, but the opponent is also a famous European star. No one can guarantee whether he will suddenly have a big explosion in the game.

At 8:45 p.m. on April 8, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals began.

For this game, the Chinese commentators were very excited because Zhang Xizhe had entered the squad for the game.

This is the first time Zhang Xizhe has entered the squad for the Champions League after joining Schalke 04.

Chinese commentators are talking about whether Zhang Xizhe will get a chance to play, and whether he will become another Chinese player who plays in the Champions League.

Although Gao Junmin was unsuccessful at Schalke, he got a few minutes of playing time in the Champions League this season and became one of only three Chinese players who played in the Champions League.

Now, Zhang Xizhe has a chance to become the fourth.

At the Schalke Stadium, Schalke fans pulled out a huge UEFA Champions League trophy puzzle at the scene, as well as the slogan "We are going to Berlin". At the same time, many fans also held some small Champions League trophy templates.

Now that Schalke is in sight of advancing to the semi-finals again, the fans are naturally looking forward to the championship.

Although Paris chanted the slogan of reversal before the game, in fact, after the game started, their desire to fight was not strong.

It seems that they didn't have much hope for this series.

But no matter whether the opponent has the desire to fight or not, Schalke must do its own thing well, try to be conservative and not give the opponent a chance.

In the 32nd minute, Li Chenglong received a pass from Kevin Boateng in the penalty area, turned around and hit the goal.

Although he failed to score, he forced the opposing goalkeeper to make a save and earned a corner for Schalke.

Huntelaar then headed home from a corner to give Schalke a 1-0 lead.

"Now Schalke has a bigger advantage and they have more room for error. As long as they don't concede three goals in a row, they can eliminate Paris Saint-Germain and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League again."

This is what the German commentary said, and it is also very pertinent.

In the following time, Schalke focused on being steady, trying not to give the opponent a chance to score.

Although there is currently room for error in losing two goals in a row, if it is not a last resort, no one wants to lose the ball.

In this way, the two sides slowly used up the next time, and Paris has never been able to find a chance to score.

However, in the second half, Li Chenglong hit a free kick of good quality, but was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

When the Portuguese referee Proenka blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Schalke Stadium was completely in a state of boiling, and the cheers of the fans seemed to break through the sky and go straight to the sky.

"The game is over, we congratulate Schalke, congratulations to them, they beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at home, eliminated each other with a total score of 4:2 in two rounds, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years."

"This is the first time in the history of their team that they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years. It is also the fourth team in the Bundesliga after Bayern, Borussia and Borussia Dortmund to do so."

"Even though Bruce Lee didn't score in the game, the fans were standing up and chanting King Bruce because he really is the king of Schalke."

"After he joined Schalke, he led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, and scored double figures in the Champions League for two consecutive years. Based on this alone, he is worthy of the title of king."
