Chapter 465 The Struggle Before the Match

Ai Huan let go of the big stone in his heart, and naturally he felt much better. He didn't care what he said on the Allen show, and devoted himself to training. Next, they will face Benfica, their second opponent in the Champions League, at home. A game that cannot be lost.

Benfica is the second team in this group. According to the points and ranking, it surpasses Schalke 04. Although Schalke defeated Lyon in the first game, Benfica also defeated the Tel Aviv workers. They want to emerge from the group. Still can't capsize on this team.

The Benfica team not only has famous players such as Saviola, Aimar, Luisan, and Cardoso, but also a group of energetic Portuguese teenagers. They are the giants in the Portuguese League, but they are in the European League. The record is not so good, but no one dares to underestimate this kind of team, after all, they also have the heart of a champion.

Due to the suspension of Howides, Magath directly chose the new pair of Papadopoulos and Metzelder. He also hopes to rely on the ability of these two people to defend Benfica's offense.

The other starting players have not changed much. Magath feels that he has gradually found the best lineup in his mind. At the same time, he also hopes to use this lineup to gallop in Europe.

Since this is the first home game of the UEFA Champions League this season and they are facing the powerful Benfica, the fans came to the scene early. They still arranged the field according to their own habits, and soon they went to Schalke full of blue In terms of strength, only the East Second Stand reserved for away fans seems a bit deserted, but everyone knows that it is too early and the away fans are not allowed to enter the stadium. This is the biggest difference between the home and away teams.

It was finally time for the game, and the fans of the visiting team were allowed to enter the stadium. They quickly arranged their flags and slogans, but before they could sit still, they heard Uncle Dipper's excited voice.

"Welcome everyone to Schalke. Today we will play the second game of the Champions League. Benfica also won the last round, but they faced the weakest team in the group, Tel Aviv Workers. The right is the powerful Lyon, which in itself is a very big gap. But I still think it is the same no matter who we face, because God is still not working today, he will still wear the No. 49 jersey to help us score, Who are we afraid of when people like this exist? I really want to tell Benfica fans that you can enjoy the food in Gelsenkirchen, enjoy the beer, enjoy the scenery here, but it is impossible to enjoy To football, because God is on our side. By the way, I'm here to guarantee that you will not be treated any differently in this city, because we have always been very lenient with fans of teams that lose."

Uncle Dipper paused for a moment before continuing, "Let's talk about the lineups of the two sides. Benfica goalkeeper Roberto, defenders from left to right Pereira, Luisan, Luis and Pexotto, midfielder Garcia, Gaitan, Cohentrao and Martins, striker Cardoso and the former Argentine golden boy Saviola." He paused after saying this, and then said in a very contemptuous tone, "Look at Benfica's lineup. And it seems to be not bad, but in fact they are a bunch of old guys, so many people together are just scaring people, maybe they can use this lineup to run amok in Portugal, but here they can only be defeated by us Destiny underfoot."

"Let me introduce the lineup of the home team," his voice was obviously full of passion, "Goalkeeper Neuer! Fullbacks Moritz and Escudero, central defenders Papadopoulos and Metzelder, midfielder Hu Rado and Maputi guard the midfielder, Holtby strikes forward, the striker is still Raul and Gavranovic, and of course Libero, Schalke's God, our stadium God, the incomparable us No. 49 Ai Huan!" Amidst his shouts, the fans in the audience burst into the loudest cheers, and Ai Huan has become a god here, there is no doubt about it.

"According to me, the current Benfica fans can already pray, pray that they will lose a few less today, it seems that there is really nothing else to do, the game is about to start, the battle is about to start, Sha The Irk tanks will rumble over them like crushing ants, let's keep our eyes open."

At this time, the players from both sides were in the player tunnel, and they could hear the voices coming from outside clearly. Many Benfica players who could understand German glared at Ai Huan, and their eyes couldn't help but spit out anger, but Ai Huan was a A look of complete indifference.This is not the first time this happened today. Uncle Dipu would use this method to hate Ai Huan almost every time. Ai Huan has long been used to it, but the Benfica people seem to have not adapted yet.

Holtby turned back to Ai Huan with a smile and said, "Boss, look at the current situation, it seems that you have really become a god."

Ai Huan shook his head and smiled wryly, "If you want, you can do it. I never wanted to do this, and no one gave me the corresponding salary. Why should I be God?"

"Are you Ai Huan?" Brazilian Luisan had already walked over, and he said arrogantly to Ai Huan in Portuguese, "I heard that you are Chinese. I have played against your national team before, and all your forwards It's not worth mentioning, so don't think that you can use some tricks to get benefits from me, if you dare to do those things in front of me, then I will definitely make you pay the price."

Ai Huan's Portuguese is very average, I just heard a rough idea of ​​what he said, but I already understood the meaning, but before he could speak, Holtby beside him had already sneered and said in the same proficient Portuguese, "Boy, don't I thought you were some great person, this is the Champions League, we all play football with our feet, not with our mouths, if you really can take action, if you can’t, don’t compare yourself.”

The players on both sides were immediately provoked/teased by their words for a while, but they were quickly stopped by the referee. No one wanted to be sent off before going out, so everyone just looked at each other viciously, but Ai Huan I didn't feel this kind of behavior at all, but turned around and asked Holtby curiously, "Lewis, is your Portuguese so good?"

"Hey, my first girlfriend was a Portuguese girl, and I learned a lot at that time. But the best is called / bed! Hey"
