After two consecutive draws, Schalke 04 can continue to maintain the second position in the league, which is considered lucky.

But even if there are two consecutive games without a win in the league, it will be difficult for Schalke 04 to win in the next round.

On February 9th, in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went to an away game to challenge the Southern King Bayern Munich.

In this game, Huber Stevens directly arranged a rotation lineup to go away.

One is because the team itself is too far behind, it is already difficult to compete with Bayern for the championship, and the other is that in the coming week, Schalke 04's Champions League round of sixteen first-leg match is coming.

Under the combination of the two, Stevens directly arranged the team to rotate, let the core players take a good rest, and fully prepare for the away game against the Celtics in Scotland in the middle of the week.

Schalke 04 needs to rotate for the Champions League, Bayern does not.

The first round of the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen was divided into two weeks.

Of course, the same is true for the second round, which should be divided into two weeks.

In the coming week, Schalke, Dortmund, Paris, etc. will take the lead in the battle, and at the same time, there will be the most watched Real Madrid vs. Manchester United.

And Bayern's first round of the top sixteen is scheduled for the middle of next week, so they don't need to rotate at all.

It can even be said that Bayern can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Schalke 04 in one fell swoop and widen the point difference. This is what they want.

At the Allianz Arena in Munich, Schalke 04, who played in rotation, was no match for Bayern at all. They conceded two goals in each half and lost to Bayern with a total score of 0:4.

Now Bayern's goal has been achieved, they are now ahead of Schalke by points.

Now fans all over Germany are waiting to see that Bayern is going to win the Bundesliga championship a few rounds in advance.

However, Schalke 04's luck is really good. This time they lost to Bayern, but they still kept the second place.

Dortmund also had to prepare for the Champions League, and also carried out a certain scale of player rotation, and then lost 1:4 to Hamburg at home.

In addition, Leverkusen also drew 3:3 with Borussia in the away game, and Frankfurt drew 0:0 with Nuremberg at home.

In the current standings, Bayern has 54 points, Schalke has 40 points, Dortmund has 39 points, Leverkusen has 38 points and Frankfurt has 37 points.

Bayern is still strong, but the situation of the four teams competing for the Champions League qualification in the second group is becoming more and more anxious.

In this round of the game, Jackie Lee took a break directly, but Kisling and Lewandowski both played and scored a goal.

So Kisling dominated the list with 14 goals, and Lee Jackie and Lewandowski tied for second with 13 goals.
