Chapter 769 Telecom Cup
The game continued on the second day. The first game was the third place battle, and the opponents were Borussia Dortmund and Mainz.

Due to yesterday's disastrous defeat, Mainz's whole team performed fiercely today, and the competition with Dortmund in the midfield was very fierce, which also made Dortmund a little unprepared, so the two sides played very stalemate.

However, just a few minutes before the finale, Dortmund was still ahead of the game. With a tricky long-range shot from Japanese player Shinji Kagawa, they finally locked the score at 3-[-] and won No.[-] in this year's Telecom Cup.

And the next thing is the championship game, the highlight of this challenge. Bayern sent their main lineup, and Schalke still sent yesterday's first half lineup to target the opponent. Magath did not have to play in this kind of game. Despite the idea of ​​defeating his opponent, he still takes the habitual lineup as his primary goal.

The two sides launched a confrontation directly from the beginning, and neither Bayern nor Schalke directly invested all their troops without making any temptations.On the scene, Fuchs basically controlled Robben, and Ribery was also entangled by Gundogan and could not pass the ball, but Mata's offense gave Bayern a great threat. During the battle, Schalke still had a great advantage.

But the problem is that Bayern's lineup is full of good players from all walks of life. They also quickly became familiar with Mata's technical characteristics and began to control him effectively. Because this kind of midfield competition is very fierce, a lot of time was wasted on both sides. Energy, this actually caused the front lines of both sides to be out of touch, so despite the fact that the two sides played fiercely, there was actually no threatening attack.

In the face of Bayern's striker, Schalke's defense has also undergone some tests, but what is gratifying is that Criscito's performance is very good. Attack, and the most interesting thing is that the exchange of positions between him and Fuchs made Bayern's offense helpless, so they had to concentrate their offensive main force on the right, and at this time, Escudero on the right also suffered It was a big test, and Gundogan had to participate in the defense here, which also caused his own disconnection in the middle.

Bayern also found a way to kill the game from this competition, so they began to pass the football to the center in a planned way, hoping to defeat Schalke through this method.

At this time, Magath's attention was also focused on Zhang Chong. He really wanted to see if the Chinese national team had the ability to guard Schalke's goal. You must know that today he was facing Bayern Munich.

But what surprised him was that Zhang Chong's performance was very good, and he didn't have the slightest stage fright at all, which also made Magath very satisfied, but almost at the same time he also saw Zhang Chong's problem. The physical fitness is really good and the state is also very good, but there will be a little hesitation when the key ball is played. This kind of game will not be played very intensely because the players on both sides are afraid of getting injured. If he didn't reach the apex, it could be regarded as creating Zhang Chong, but if he really appeared in the league, he might have conceded a goal by this time.

After watching it for a while, Magath replaced Holtby with Maputi. At this time, the double midfielder tactic is more reliable. After adding a midfield barrier, Schalke gradually took the initiative and started to counterattack. .

When the two sides were anxious, they still had to rely on the ability of talented players to solve the problem. In the last minute of the first half, Fuchs intercepted Robben's ball and directly handed the ball to the frontcourt.Demba Ba and Farfan immediately pulled horizontally, and Bayern's defense was also disrupted by them at this moment, and Mata also took this opportunity to kill and formed a single-handed shot. It was another very calm low shot, sending the football into the goal. Neuer guarded the gate, and Schalke took the lead in the first half with this goal.

In the second half, the two sides began to change players. Joaquin and Mata formed the Spanish wings in the midfield, and Bayern also made corresponding adjustments. Schalke's change did not have the desired result, but it was nothing at all. , Schalke's real ace player did not appear at all. If Ai Huan was here, everything would be simpler.

In the second half, the two sides played tighter and did not find the last chance. In the end, Schalke ended the battle with a score of [-]-[-]. In the end, they won the championship trophy as they wished and became the first team to successfully defend the Telecom Cup. .After the game, the Schalke players were very excited. After all, they had already won the first championship of the new season, which was a good start.

After the Telecom Cup, Schalke collectively returned to Gelsenkirchen, where they were going to hold a new player meeting. Ai Huan also returned to the club to report on the same day, but kept his whereabouts tight-lipped.

The meeting for the new players was held very enthusiastically. Facing the arrival of these new players, Schalke fans expressed the highest enthusiasm. After all, they have already won the first championship with these players. This is the most anticipated thing. Things have happened, many people have already begun to calculate the possibility of defending the title, and even the odds given by the gambling group are full of confidence in Schalke.

"Tomorrow you and I will go to the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony." Magath said to Ai Huan in the gap, "You have to go this time, you must know that you are the protagonist this time." Magath was afraid that Ai Huan would say something messy again The words were said immediately.

"What protagonist?" Ai Huan asked a little strangely.

"You were the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League last year, and you were selected to the best team. If you don't go, who is qualified to go?"

"What's the point, I'm not the best player." Ai Huan rolled his eyes, he knew that the best player still belonged to Messi.

Magath smiled, "If we can win the Champions Cup this year, then you will also be eligible, so everything needs to be resolved by you." Magath paused and glanced at Mata who was talking on the court. Then he said slowly, "The biggest confidence that the Telecom Cup gave me this time is Mata's performance. These new players are very good. I have more confidence in this season."

Still due to the European Cup, all games have been moved forward, and the draw for the Champions League has also been adjusted accordingly.Just when Ai Huan and Magath set off for Morocco together, a song suddenly appeared. It was spread in the form of the Internet, but it was not inferior to any traditional media, and even faster. In just one day It spread all over the world within a few days. The name of this song is a ray of sunshine.
