Chapter 136 Champions League Grouping

In the first half, Schalke 04 had already led 3:0, and this game is basically not a big problem.

During the intermission, Lee Chenglong was thinking whether to try his best to score a goal in the second half and complete the Bundesliga first goal task, or to send another assist and complete a hat-trick of assists.

However, goals and assists do not seem to conflict, as if both can be done.

Children only do multiple-choice questions, and of course adults ask for all of them.

But at the beginning of the second half of the game, Jackie Chan found that Holtby had started to grow cancerous again. When he got the ball, he only thought of himself recklessly and kept wasting opportunities.

In fact, before joining Schalke 04, Li Chenglong still wanted to build a good relationship with this guy and cooperate with each other in the future, but he didn't expect this guy to be alone.

Holtby's father is British and his mother is German. He lived in England for a while when he was a child and was an Everton fan, so he and Jackie Lee should have a topic.

However, Holtby came to live in Germany very early, joined the Aachen youth training camp in Germany, where he became a famous talented player, and later joined the German youth team.

Last season, Holtby was the midfield organizer of Schalke 04. He has been performing well and wearing the team's No. 10 jersey, which shows that Schalke 04 attaches great importance to him.

In fact, Jackie Chan and this guy have no conflicts. Holtby became cancerous mainly because of the rise of Draxler.

Draxler has delicate feet and excellent dribbling, but his dribbling speed is not fast enough, so he can only play in the position of the midfielder, and his threat is greatly reduced when he goes to the wing.

This created a conflict with Holtby. Holtby was the team's organizer and midfielder before. He and Draxler had obvious overlapping positions. The rise of Djokovic directly threatened his position.

Last season, Holtby could push Draxler to the wing with a more mature performance, but at the beginning of the new season, Draxler's performance has become more and more mature. The previous 5-0 victory in the German Cup On the field, Draxler even made two shots and one pass.

This made Holtby's sense of crisis more and more serious, and now he is almost going crazy.

This guy thinks of himself as soon as he gets the ball, and wants to use this method to prove himself, but he gets cancer again and again, basically becoming the team's offensive terminator.

In the 72nd minute, Huber Stevens finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a substitution adjustment, allowing the Swiss Barnetta to replace Holtby.

Barnetta played the position of left midfielder, so that Draxler, who was originally in the position of left midfielder, changed to the position of midfielder.

Draxler, who switched to the midfielder position, quickly performed.

In the 82nd minute, after he broke through the middle to attract double-teams, he distributed the ball to Li Chenglong on the right. Li Chenglong took advantage of the situation and passed the ball directly to the goal.

In this way, some time was wasted by Holtby. Lee Chenglong failed to score his first goal in the Bundesliga, but he still got a hat-trick of assists.

But there was an accident at the last moment of the game. Greek defender Papadopoulos made a pass error and directly gave the opposing forward a single-handed ball.

What's more troublesome is that the old goalkeeper Hildebrand attacked and collided with the opponent's forward. Not only did he give the opponent a penalty, but he was also injured.

It doesn't matter whether you send a penalty or not, but Hildebrand is injured, and this is the biggest loss.

Although Hildebrand is 33 years old, he is still Schalke 04's most reliable goalkeeper.

If he is injured for a long time, it will definitely have a huge impact on Schalke 04's defense.

But no matter what, Schalke 04 still won Augsburg 4:1 at home and made a good start to the new season at home.

Li Chenglong, who sent a hat-trick of assists, was selected as the best player in the game after the game, which can be regarded as a justification for himself.

On the evening of the game, Schalke 04's official Twitter posted a status: "Welcome to the Ruhr area, Marco Denilson!!"

This is used to mock arch-enemy Dortmund,

After Schalke 04 won 4:1 at home, Dortmund went to challenge Nuremberg away, but was tied 1:1.

Royce, who performed well in the previous game, did not perform well in this game, which was similar to Lee Chenglong's last game. Although he had a few good dribbles, he couldn't really help the team in the end, so Dortmund was tied in the away game up.

Now Schalke's official tweet seized the opportunity to mock Marco Reus will become Marco Denilson.

In fact, Royce led Borussia Borussia to fourth place in the Bundesliga last season and qualified for the Champions League. This has already proved himself in the Bundesliga, and he cannot be said to be Denilson.

But mortal enemies ridicule each other, so they don't care about this.

During the second round of the Bundesliga, Monaco on the Mediterranean coast held the annual UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony here again.

Schalke 04 here is the draw ceremony led by chairman Clemens Tenis.

At the European Player of the Year awards held at the same time as the draw ceremony, Iniesta overwhelmed Messi and Ronaldo and was successfully elected as the best player in Europe this season.

Iniesta was elected mainly because of his success in helping Spain defend the European Championship.

In the UEFA Champions League draw that has attracted the most attention, Schalke 04, as the second team, was assigned to a group with Arsenal in the Premier League, Olympiacos in the Greek Super League, and Montpellier in the Ligue 1.

As far as the lottery result is concerned, it should not be too good.

Arsenal is a giant in the Premier League. Needless to say, Olympiacos was the champion of the Greek Super League last season. This is nothing to worry about, but Montpellier was the champion of Ligue 1 last season, overwhelming the new European tycoon Paris Saint-Germain. Down, the strength will never be weak.

Therefore, the Schalke 04 group should be Arsenal, Schalke and Montpellier competing for two spots, which can be regarded as a small death group.

There are four Bundesliga teams participating in the Champions League this season, but Borussia's strength has declined after losing Reus, and they were eliminated by Ukraine's Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League play-offs, so only Bayern, Dortmund and Schalke are three. Into the race.

But this year's Bundesliga three-team draw is not ideal.

Bayern was drawn into a group with Valencia in La Liga, Lille in Ligue 1 and Borisov in Belarus. This is already the best of the three teams in the Bundesliga. Bayern has no big problem qualifying, that is, it depends on who Valencia or Lille Get second in the group.

But if Bayern is not in good form, it is also possible to be squeezed out by Valencia and Lille.

Schalke 04's rival Dortmund is the worst, they were assigned to a super death group.

The other three teams in the same group are La Liga champions Real Madrid, Premier League champions Manchester City and Eredivisie champions Ajax.

This is the deadliest group of death in the Champions League group stage this season.

When the lottery results came out, the German media analyzed: Bayern’s qualification is not a big problem, but it cannot be taken lightly; Schalke 04 has a good chance, but they must play well in every game; whether Dortmund can qualify, that is really important. Unpredictable.

If the worst happens, it is possible that all three Bundesliga teams will be eliminated in the group stage.

The results of the draw for the group stage came out, and it was time to predict the champion again.

Judging from the odds of mainstream European gaming companies, Cosmos Barcelona ranks first, Galacticos Real Madrid ranks second, followed by the Premier League's Manchester City duo.

The highest ranking on the Bundesliga side is Bayern, who rank fifth, one higher than defending champion Chelsea.

As for Schalke 04, it was actually ranked 19th out of 36 teams.

Even Dortmund, who entered the Super Death Group, is higher than Schalke 04, and they are only ranked 13th.

It is worth mentioning that Jackie Chan's old club, Dundee United, failed to qualify for this season's Champions League.

Dundee United eliminated the Serbian champion Partizan Belgrade in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round, but lost to the Belgian champion Anderlecht in the Champions League play-offs, and fell to participate in the Europa League.

Instead, the Celtics successfully passed two hurdles in a row and hit the Champions League match. They are currently assigned to a group with Barcelona, ​​Benfica, and Spartak Moscow.
