Chapter 60 Feeling Benzema Crossing the River

The plane landed at Bilbao Airport, and everyone boarded the bus and headed to the San Mames Stadium.

Everyone came to the game, and they were used to the hostility of away fans, but they didn’t expect to see crowds waving at the bus everywhere from the car window, “Raul, the national team” and “Spain has only one legend, Called Raul" or something like that.

Raul was also moved to wave to the fans outside the window.

Yang Feng was secretly speechless.

At first I thought that Raul was at most the city idol of Madrid, but I didn't expect that this old man already has the foundation of a national hero.

Unfortunately, after all, the most important national team honor is still missing.

"It's worth it to be able to play a ball to this level, you still have to work hard..." Thinking about the accusations and scolding faced by the national football players in the previous life, and looking at the treatment of Raul as a national idol now, Yang Feng While shuddering, it also strengthened the belief in going forward bravely.

Before the match between Schalke and Athletic Bilbao, there was also a touching scene.

Raul laid flowers on behalf of Schalke 04 at the statue of the legendary Bilbao player Pizzi.

Pizzi, formerly known as Rafael Moreno Aranzadi, helped Athletic Bilbao win the cup four times at the beginning of the last century, and also performed a hat-trick in the 4 final.

In March 1922, Pizzizi died of typhus at the age of 3.

To commemorate Pizzi, Spain's "Marca" named the top scorer award awarded since 1953 as the 'Pizzi Award' to honor the top scorer in the Spanish First Division and Second Division.

The cameras of the reporters and the fans at the scene witnessed this scene. Everything was very harmonious and beautiful. It seemed that Schalke 04 was here to have a beautiful exchange and not to fight to the death. It was not until entering the locker room that Stevens put his disciples They pulled out from the state of mind just now, "Okay, take away your touch and warmth, and don't forget what we are here for."

"That's right," Raul, who looked as if he wanted to become the image ambassador of Bilbao, was the first to respond, "The Basques are indeed very hospitable and enthusiastic, but we are here to compete, and the greatest respect for our opponents is Go all out to beat them."

"..." Yang Feng looked at him strangely.

Good guy, this guy is definitely a good player in politics, the kind who can say good things in person and do bad things behind the scenes.

Sauer continued to serve as the commentator for the game at DFG, but there was an interesting scene in the camera before the game started.

"The players on both sides have finished warming up and are making final preparations in the locker room... Wait, a very interesting slogan appeared in the stands. The ticket price for this game is indeed too high."

The tagline was written in German, and of course it was from a Schalke fan: "90 euros a ticket = 1 euro per minute? Football games aren't about phone surname Ai!"

The economic situation of Spain and La Liga clubs is not good, while the economic situation of Germany is not bad in Europe, and the consumption power of fans is strong, so Athletic Bilbao set the ticket price for the second round of the two teams at a high level of 90 euros .

There are many advertisements for telephone services with the surname Ai on German TV, usually only one or two euros per minute, and they can get a discount if they catch up with an event, so it’s no wonder that Schalke fans will lament that this football ticket costs 1 euro per minute Price is indeed catching up with the phone call, and the surname is Ai.

The German fans are loyal and willing to play away games with the team, but the ticket price of 90 euros makes the Germans a little bit unbearable.

You must know that the average ticket price for the Bundesliga this season is only about 30 euros, and the ticket price is 90 euros plus air tickets and hotel expenses. If you want to follow the team on an away game, this expense is really not small.

The Germans were dissatisfied with the Spaniard's taking the opportunity to make a fortune, but they have long been familiar with it. Sauer gloated: "When Sevilla played Real Madrid at home this season, the home team temporarily revised the ticket price. The price starts at 100 Euros, and the average price is 200 Euros. Bild also introduced this specifically at the time, saying that the ticket price for a Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen starts at 15 Euros, and the average ticket price is only 30 Euros. The euro, the Spanish economy is not good, but the football ticket price is really outrageous..."

Su Dong is guarded by a harmonious beast, of course he dare not talk about this kind of topic, he is still introducing the situation of the two sides, "Schalke 04 played the main force in the league four days ago, but they were still tied by Hoffenheim unexpectedly, In this game, Stevens rotated some players, but the trident composed of Huntelaar, Raul and Yang Feng will still start the game."

"Fuchs was unable to travel with the team because of the flu, and Farfan and Atsuto Uchida sat on the bench. Schalke 04's midfield advancement may be affected to a certain extent, which requires the striker to work hard. retreat..."

"Look at the starters.

Goalkeeper: 36 Unnerstahl;
Defenders: 6 Hoagland, 14 Papadopoulos, 32 Matip, 3 Escudero;
Midfielders: 10 Holtby, 13 Jones, 19 Obasi;
Forwards: 7 Raul (C), 25 Huntelaar, 9 Yang Feng. "

"Athletic Bilbao has exactly the same 4-3-3 formation. It seems that Bielsa is not satisfied with a one-goal lead. This game is likely to be another offensive game.

Goalkeeper: 1 Ireisos;

Defenders: 15 Elora (C), 23 Equiza, 5 Amorebeta, 3 Ortner;
Midfielders: 24 Javi Martinez, 21 Ander Herrera, 10 De Marcos;

Forwards: 14 Suceta, 9 Llorente, 11 Muniain. "

Players from both sides entered the field, Raul guessed coins and lost to Elora, and Athletic Bilbao kicked off first.

The football was passed back to the midfield as usual. Bilbao did not rush forward, but first controlled the ball near the midfield and then tried to attack.

Huntelaar faced the opponent's last defender, while Raul, Yang Feng and the three midfielders launched a frantic press.

There is no doubt about the control ability of the Spanish team. From top to bottom, Schalke did not expect much from this kind of pressing, but it was unexpected that Ander Herrera would turn out to be under the attack of Jones, Holtby and Raul. There was a pass error, and the ball that was supposed to go to DeMarcos hit Raul's calf.

The football came too suddenly and with great force, and Raul couldn't take the opportunity to stop the ball, and the football bounced out.

Ander Herrera made up for it by throwing the ball back in the direction of his penalty area.

Bielsa on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned the next second.

I saw Yang Feng appeared out of nowhere, and chased after the football without giving up.

The ball came to Harvey Martinez's feet. He also saw Yang Feng rushing towards him. He quickly kicked the ball out and passed it to central defender Eguiza.

Huntelaar hurried forward to press, Ejiza calmly stuck him behind, and passed back to goalkeeper Iraisos.

Yang Feng continued to rush up like a mad dog.

The distance between the two is several meters, and Ireisos can kick the ball calmly. No matter how brave Yang Feng is, he may not be able to block the ball in time, but he still rushes towards Ireisos without giving up.

Ireisos stopped the ball and even had time to adjust the ball forward before making a graceful big-foot clearance.

"Athletic Bilbao made a mistake in passing the ball, but it quickly made up for it. The football was passed back to the goalkeeper Ireisos, and Ireisos' big foot solution... eh? eh? eh? What's the situation? Yang Feng! ?”

Yilaisos turned out to be a fake move, and when Yang Feng rushed over to block the ball, he suddenly dunked the ball sensitively...

The football was dunked, but he didn't expect that Yang Feng didn't make any dodging movements, and he saw his movements clearly.

Secretly spit out a Spanish version of "fuck", Ireisos hurriedly kicked the football in a panic, preparing to destroy the ball out of the boundary.

How could Yang Feng let him get what he wanted, and immediately stretched out his foot to block it, but unfortunately only the toe of his toe touched the football.

The football brushed against Yang Feng's toes and rolled towards the boundary. Huntelaar and Eguiza chased after him, and Harvey Martinez also rushed to defend Yang Feng.

In the end, it was Huntelaar who stopped the ball before the football was about to leave the penalty area, and before he could adjust, he looked up and passed the ball directly in the direction of Yang Feng.

Yang Feng had already retreated two steps and left the offside position, volleying the football.

The football flew between Javi Martinez and Ireisos and flew into the goal.

0-1, 4-4 on aggregate.

A few years later, in a Champions League knockout match, Benzema almost completely copied Yang Feng's goal. At that time, many media and fans dug up the video of this goal, compared the two repeatedly, and then They all praised Benzema for copying the homework really well.

Even if they think about it, they can't imagine that this ball is actually Benzema's original creation, and Yang Feng is just crossing the river by touching Benzema...
