Chapter 265: Re-enter the semifinals

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

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

   Stevens still intends to arrange the team for some rotations in this game, but Li Chenglong actively asked to play.

   Currently Schalke has achieved a great advantage in the first leg of the Champions League, and Lee Chenglong feels that the team does not need a large-scale rotation.

  Although Li Chenglong himself lags far behind in the European Golden Boot competition, it is not without a chance. He still wants to work hard.

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

   Based on these considerations, it is reasonable for Li Chenglong to ask for a battle, which is justified.

   Werder Bremen is currently in an undesirable position in the standings, so even if Schalke rotates, it is not difficult to play at Weser Stadium.

   More than ten minutes into the game, the opponent broke the goal first.

   But in more than 30 minutes, Gretzka, who had won the start in this game, scored through a long shot to help Schalke equalize the score.

   In the second half, Li Chenglong received a pass from a magnetic card in the penalty area again, and then took a kick and hit the ball into the upper left corner of the opponent's goal.

   In this way, Schalke defeated Werder Bremen 2:1 in an away game, ending the two unvictorious league rounds.

   And in this round, Bayern really lost points.

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

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

   If Bayern lose, Schalke has recovered a three-point gap in the standings.

   Bayern currently has 75 points and Schalke has 68 points. The difference between the two teams has been reduced to 7 points.

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

In this case, the Hornet’s Champions League qualifications are relatively stable. They are currently 8 points ahead of fifth place, and Borussia also tied Leverkusen in points. With a goal difference advantage, they ranked fourth, placing Leverku. Sen squeezed to fifth place.

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

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

   Also in La Liga, Diego Costa didn't score a goal, Ronaldo was absent due to injury, but Messi scored twice in the game.

   In the European Golden Boot rankings, Suarez has 29 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has 28 goals, Messi and Diego Costa both have 25 goals, and Li Chenglong has 24 goals.

   Jackie Lee’s Bundesliga golden boots are basically stable, because currently Lewand and Mandzukic have only 17 goals, it is difficult to catch him.

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

   But there are 5 rounds left in the Bundesliga, and it is not without a chance.

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

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

   Although everyone is saying that Ibrahimovic's legs are weak in the Champions League, but the other party is also a famous European star. No one can guarantee that he will suddenly burst into the game.

   At 8:45 pm on April 8, the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals began.

   In this game, the Chinese commentator was very excited, because Zhang Xizhe was on the squad.

   This is the first time that Zhang Xizhe has entered the big list of the Champions League after joining Schalke 04.

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

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

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

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

   Now Schalke is looking forward to reaching the semi-finals again, and the fans are naturally looking forward to the championship.

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

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

   But regardless of the opponent's desire to fight, Schalke must do his own thing, try to be conservative, and don't give the opponent a chance.

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

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

   Then Huntelaar scored a header in the corner kick to help Schalke get a 1-0 lead.

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

   This is the German commentary ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and it is very relevant.

   In the next time, Schalke will be steady, and strive not to give the opponent a chance to score.

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

   In this way, the two sides ran out of time slowly, and Paris has never been able to find a chance to score.

   In the second half, Li Chenglong played a good quality free kick, but he was bravely thrown out by the opponent's goalkeeper.

   When the Portuguese referee Proenka blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Proud to Schalke Stadium was completely boiled, 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 defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at home, eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4:2 in two rounds, and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive years."

   "This is the first time in their team's history that they have entered the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive years. It is also the fourth Bundesliga team that can do this after Bayern, Borussia and Dortmund."

   "Although Bruce Lee didn't score a goal in the game, the fans still stood up and shouted for King Bruce because he is really the King of Schalke."

   "After joining Schalke, he led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, and scored in double figures in the Champions League for two consecutive years. This alone makes him worthy of the title of the King."
