Chapter 50 The two-game scoring drought
Not only was Manchester United eliminated in the Europa League, their city brothers also overturned.

Manchester City, which has a lineup of 4 million pounds, was pulled down by Sporting Lisbon, which was only worth 6864 million pounds, relying on more away goals. It staged a scene where the giant Goliath was smashed into the balls by the young David with a slingshot. tragedy.

Since then, with the favorites Manchester United, Manchester City, Ajax and others leaving together, the Europa League quarter-finals have also been freshly released, and La Liga and Bundesliga have become the biggest winners.

La Liga has Valencia, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Bilborough, while the Bundesliga has Schalke 04 and Hannover 96. The remaining three seats belong to Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League, Alkmaar in the Eredivisie and the Ukrainian First Division. Kharkov metallurgy.

Schalke 04 and Valencia once won the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League, and Atletico Madrid was the winner last year. These three teams are also favorites to win this year.

Sporting Bilborough and Sporting Lisbon, which eliminated Manchester United and Manchester City respectively, are the biggest dark horses, but whether they can be black or not will have to accept the later test.

The remaining Alkmaar, Hannover 96 and Kharkiv Metallurgy were treated as big gift packages, and with the Europa League quarter-final and semi-final draw ceremony held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the gift packages also belonged to Soon the dust settled.

The lottery is very "free". There is neither a seeding nor avoidance of teams in the same league. It is entirely based on luck-at least on the surface.

As a result, the miners in Geerkie Senchen were not very happy, because they drew the big dark horse Athletic Bilborough, which had just knocked out Manchester United and advanced.

The other three matches are Alkmaar vs Valencia, Sporting Lisbon vs Kharkiv Metallurgy, Atletico Madrid vs Hannover 96.

The game will start on March 3. Before that, Schalke 29 still has two league games to play.

On March 3, Kaiserslautern, which is currently at the bottom of the league, played an away game.

On March 3, they played at home against Leverkusen, currently ranked fifth.

One will work hard to stay in the Bundesliga at the end of the season, and the other will go all out to squeeze into the European theater, neither will be too easy.

Stevens has almost fully followed the starting lineup of the Europa League, and it is only three days since they finished the Europa League. Schalke 04's lineup is so thick that fans don't know how to complain.

However, in order to prove that they are worthy of the club's contract, Huntelaar, Farfan and Yang Feng, who had just renewed their contracts, were very motivated. They not only had no complaints about the continuous battle, but also expressed great expectations.

Even Sauer murmured, "Although the Europa League just finished on Thursday, coach Stevens did not adjust the starting lineup. Schalke 04 has sent three forwards. Of course, Raul is now almost regarded as half of the front line. waist to use..."

Raul, who was born in La Liga and grew up in La Liga, is not only superior in personal skills, but also almost comparable to a real organizational midfielder in terms of organizational ability.

It was because of his scheduling in the frontcourt that Schalke 04 was able to play more and more smoothly, but the team's defenders still insisted on their fine traditions, and gave the opponent a head soon after the opening.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Tifet slanted in front of the goal with a free kick from the right side of the midfield, and Rodney, who was unguarded, scored with a flying header from close range, 1-0.

Knowing that the fans have gradually become numb to the backward start.

The few players in the frontcourt remained calm, but silently returned to the midfield, ready to kick off.

After about a quarter of an hour of warm-up, Schalke gradually took control of the situation.

In the 24th minute, Raul sent a curve ball with his right foot from the right, and Huntelaar headed 6 meters away from the far point and slightly missed the right post.

In the 32nd minute, Fuchs made a cross from the left. Raul made a brilliant volley with his heel. Yang Feng pushed and scored but was ruled invalid for offside.

Three minutes later, Draxler's left foot bowed slightly wide from 3 meters away, missing a good chance to equalize.

Until the 39th minute, Huntelaar received a pass from Raul on the front right side of the penalty area and then knocked across.

In the 43rd minute, Farfan shot a direct free kick 25 meters away from the left and was saved by Sipper.

Two minutes later, Fuchs steals the ball near the center line and then dribbles the ball along the middle to instigate a counterattack. Huntelaar receives the ball from the left side of the penalty area and then makes a fake shot with his left foot past Abel.

2:1.

Huntelaar scored the 22nd goal in the league and once again dominated the top scorer list.

After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 51st minute, Draxler broke into the penalty area and knocked back on the left side. Yang Feng slammed his heel intentionally or unintentionally.

Kaiserslautern tried to counterattack, but the offensive organization was weak and could not threaten Schalke's goal. Instead, Schalke hit a quick counterattack.

Farfan, who performed well in this field, scored the ball in the middle circle, Marty made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Draxler easily pushed his left foot into the net, 4 to 1.

The overall situation has been decided, Farfan opened the scoring for the team, Huntelaar made a pass and shot, Yang Feng also had an assist, and the renewal trio handed in a perfect answer.

In the 70th minute of the game, Yang Feng and Raul were replaced one after another, and Shakhtar fans expressed their attitude with applause and cheers.

Duan Xuan couldn't help admiring, "Yang Feng and Raul have become more and more tacit in the game, and they are a perfect match. Yang Feng is lucky to have such a big brother at the beginning of his career. It will definitely have a positive impact on his future growth." Extraordinary meaning..."

Yang Feng couldn't help encouraging Raul again, and among the gays, he said angrily: "Stay here, there is no one who understands you like I do in Arabia."

Raul rubbed his eyebrows in distress, and said, "Look again..."

Many people now refer to Yang Feng as Owen Jr. or Inzaghi Jr., but in Raul's eyes, Yang Feng is more like another close friend of his.

Morientes…

The best partner in my career.

The friendship between him and Yang Feng off the court has not reached the point where he was inseparable with Morientes at the beginning. He even carved similar tattoos on his ankles, and he regarded him as "the most important person in life" from beginning to end. The tacit understanding is similar to the tacit understanding when playing football with Morientes.

Between men and women, there is a heart-to-heart bond, between men and women, there is a match made in heaven, between strikers, there is also a match made in heaven, Henry and Bergkamp, ​​Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, etc., like princes and knights, you know I will be there When to pass the ball, I also know where you like to shoot.

I used to be such a pair of golden CPs with Morientes, but it is a pity that due to various factors, they ended up on different sides.

Now, when I partnered with Yang Feng, the familiar feeling came back.

Although his position has changed from the much-anticipated prince to the escorting knight, he does not reject the feeling of being a wingman.

His time has passed, and he hopes to be able to personally participate in the advent of another era.

The score was finally fixed at 4:1. Schalke won six consecutive victories in the league and continued to follow in the footsteps of Dortmund, ranking second in the standings with 56 points.

Six days later, in the seventh round of the No.20 Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Wallerkusen.

Yang Feng, Raul, and Draxler all sat on the bench, while Obasi, Holtby, and Farfan Poe played.

Schalke 04 opened the scoring by Huntelaar, leading 1-0 at halftime.

Yang Feng played in the No. 70 minute of the game. This time it was even worse than the first game. He didn't even get an assist, and he didn't get any results. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the defense this time, and he defended the score of 1:0.

After the game, Yang Feng got a 4-point failure in the rating of "Kicker", but some heartless fake fans not only did not gloat and sneer, but were as happy as a festival.

"You have lived a long life, Xiao Fengfeng has fallen into a scoring shortage, what should I do if it is swollen?"

"It's a duck or a duck, what should I do if I'm not used to it?"

"It's only two games, has your appetite been raised so much?"

"Shocked! A certain young striker has been caught in a scoring drought for as long as two games! Is it the decline of morality or the decline of state, the degradation of human nature or the regression of ability? It can't be because it's broken, right?"

"The end is the Europa League, it's time to start."

"Pair to pole, two games do not generate income, even the donkeys of the production team dare not rest like this."
