The plane landed at Bilbao Airport. After everyone came out, they boarded the bus and headed to San Mamés Stadium.
We all came for the game and were used to the hostility of away fans, but we didn’t expect to see people waving and calling at the bus from the car windows. Everywhere we could see “Raul, national team” and “Spain has only one legend. Call me Raul" and other slogans.
Raul also moved and waved to the fans outside the window.
Yang Feng was secretly speechless.
I originally thought that Raul would be the city idol of Madrid at best, but I didn't expect that this old man would already have the foundation of a national hero.
Unfortunately, after all, the most important national team honor is still missing.
"It's worth it to get to this point just by playing football. You still have to work hard..." Thinking about the public outcry that the national football team faced in the previous life, and then looking at Raul's current treatment as a national idol, Yang Feng While I shuddered, I also strengthened my belief in moving forward bravely.
Before the game between Schalke and Athletic Bilbao, there was a touching scene.
Raul laid flowers on behalf of Schalke 04 at the statue of Bilbao legend Pizzic.
Pizzici, whose real name was Rafael Moreno Aransardi, helped Athletic Bilbao win four cup championships at the beginning of the last century, and also scored a hat-trick in the 1915 final.
In March 1922, at the age of 29, Pizzi died of typhus.
In order to commemorate Pizzici, Spain's "Marca" will name the top scorer award awarded since 1953 as the 'Pizzici Award' to recognize the top scorer in the Spanish League A and B.
The reporters' cameras and the fans at the scene witnessed this scene. Everything was harmonious and beautiful. It seemed that Schalke 04 was here to have a beautiful exchange and not to fight to the death. It wasn't until they entered the locker room that Stevens turned his disciples over. They were pulled out of the state of mind just now, "Okay, let's accept all your emotions and warmth, and don't forget what we are here for."
"That's right," Raul, who just looked like he wanted to be the ambassador of Bilbao, was the first to respond, "Basque people are indeed very hospitable and enthusiastic, but we are here to compete, and the greatest respect for our opponents is Give it your all to beat them.”
"..." Yang Feng looked at him with strange eyes.
Good guy, if this guy were to be in politics, he would definitely be a good hand. He could say good things in person and do bad things behind his back.
Sauer continued to serve as the commentator for this game on Germany Radio, but an interesting scene appeared on the camera before the game started.
"The players from both sides have finished warming up and are making final preparations in the locker room...Wait a minute, a very interesting slogan appeared in the stands. The ticket price for this game is indeed too high."
The slogan is written in German, and is naturally from a Schalke fan: "90 euros for a ticket = 1 euro per minute? Football matches are not about phone calls with the surname Ai!"
The economic situation of Spanish and La Liga clubs is poor, while the economic situation of Germany is not bad in Europe, and fans have strong spending power. Therefore, Athletic Bilbao raised the price and set the ticket price for the second round of the two teams to a high of 90 euros. .
There are many advertisements for telephone services surnamed Ai on German TV, usually only one or two euros per minute. If you catch up with events, you can get a discount. So it is no wonder that Schalke fans will lament that these 1-minute football tickets cost 1 euro. The price is really about to catch up with the phone call and the surname is Ai.
German fans are loyal and willing to play away games with their team, but the 90 euro ticket price makes the Germans a little reluctant to hold on.
You must know that the average Bundesliga ticket this season is only around 30 euros. The ticket price is 90 euros plus air tickets and hotel expenses. If you want to follow the team on away games, this expense is really not small.
The Germans were dissatisfied with the Spaniard's attempt to make a profit, but they were used to it. Sauer gloated: "When Sevilla played Real Madrid at home this season, the home team temporarily changed the ticket price. The starting price is 100 euros, and the average price is 200 euros. "Bild" also specially introduced this matter at that time, saying that the ticket price for a Bundesliga match of Bayern Munich vs. Werder Bremen starts at 15 euros, and the average ticket price is only 30. Euro, Spain’s economy is not doing well, but football ticket prices are really outrageous…”
Su Dong was guarded by the beast of harmony. Of course, he did not dare to talk about this topic. He still introduced the situation of both sides, "Schalke 04 played its main force in the league four days ago, but unexpectedly it was still tied by Hoffenheim. Stevens has rotated some of his players in this game, but the trident composed of Huntelaar, Raul and Yang Feng will still start."
"Fuchs was unable to travel with the team because he had the flu. Farfan and Atsuhito Uchida sat on the bench. Schalke 04's midfield and backcourt advancement may be affected to a certain extent, which requires the forwards to significantly improve their performance." Retreat..."
“Look at the starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: 36 Onner Starr;
Defenders: 6 Hoagland, 14 Papadopoulos, 32 Matip, 3 Escudero;
Midfielder: 10 Holtby, 13 Jones, 19 Obasi;
Forwards: 7 Raul (C), 25 Huntelaar, 9 Yang Feng. "
"Athletic Bilbao also uses 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 battle.
Goalkeeper: 1 Irasos;
Defenders: 15 Ilaura (C), 23 Ekisa, 5 Amorebieta, 3 Aulte cut inside;
Midfielder: 24 Javi Martinez, 21 Ander Herrera, 10 De Marcos;
Forwards: 14 Souseta, 9 Llorente, 11 Muniain. "
Players from both sides entered the field, Raul lost to Elora in guessing the coin, and Athletic Bilbao kicked off first.
The football was passed back to the midfield as usual. Bilbao did not rush forward. Instead, it 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 crazy press.
There is no doubt about the Spanish team's ability to control the field. Schalke did not have high expectations for such a pressing from top to bottom, but they did not expect that Ander Herrera was attacked by Jones, Holtby and Raul. There was a passing error, and the ball that was originally intended for DeMarcos hit Raul's calf.
The football came too suddenly and with great force, and Raul failed to take the opportunity to stop the ball. The football bounced out.
Ander Herrera made up for it and quickly passed the ball back towards the penalty area.
Bielsa on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned the next second.
Yang Feng appeared out of nowhere and pursued the football relentlessly.
The ball came to the feet of Harvey Martinez. He also saw Yang Feng rushing over, and quickly kicked the ball and passed it to the center back Ekisa.
Huntelaar quickly stepped forward to press, but Ekisa calmly blocked him behind him and passed back to goalkeeper Ilaysos.
Yang Feng continued to charge forward like a mad dog.
The two are several meters apart, and Yirassos can kick the ball out calmly. No matter how brave Yang Feng is, he may not have time to block the ball, but he still rushes towards Yirassos without giving up.
Irasos stopped the ball and even had time to adjust the ball in front of him before making a graceful big-foot clearance.
"Athletic Bilbao made a mistake in passing the ball, but they quickly made up for it. The football was passed back to goalkeeper Irassos, who made a big pass... Huh? Huh? Huh? What's going on? Yang Feng! ?”
Irasos turned out to be a fake move. When Yang Feng rushed over to block the ball, he suddenly dunked the ball quickly...
The football was dunked, but he didn't expect that Yang Feng didn't make any dodge movements and saw his movements clearly.
Secretly uttering a Spanish version of "f*ck", Irasos hurriedly kicked the football in a panic, preparing to destroy the ball out of the boundary.
Yang Feng couldn't let him get what he wanted. He immediately stretched out his foot to block it, but unfortunately only his toe touched the football.
The football rubbed Yang Feng's toes and rolled towards the boundary. Huntelaar and Ekisa chased it together, and Harvey Martinez also ran over to defend Yang Feng.
In the end, Huntelaar stopped the ball before it was about to leave the penalty area. He had no time to adjust. He looked up and passed the ball directly in the direction of Yang Feng.
Yang Feng had already taken two steps back and left the offside position, and volleyed towards the football.
The football flew quickly between Javi Martinez and Iraisos and into the goal.
0-1, total score 4-4.
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 out the video of this goal, compared the two repeatedly, and then They all praised Benzema for doing a really good job.
No matter how hard they thought, they would never have imagined that Benzema was actually the original creator of this goal, and Yang Feng was just trying to cross the river by touching Benzema...
