A double blessing for German football.
Schalke 04 relied on Yang Feng's super performance to defeat Sporting Lisbon 3-1 and advanced to the finals, and will join Atletico Madrid at the top of the Europa League.
Bayern Munich relied on Neuer's divine possession in the penalty shootout and made two successful saves to defeat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and advance to the UEFA Champions League final that will be staged at their home stadium, the Allianz Arena!
This is also a great victory for the Schalke 04 youth training, because the two most outstanding players in these two games are both produced by the miners. Unfortunately, only Yang Feng is still wearing the Schalke 04 jersey and fighting for the miners. Fighting, and Neuer has become the patron saint of other people's homes. The better his performance will only make Schalke fans more regretful and hateful.
The Bundesliga has begun to enter a countdown, with only the last two rounds left to end.
In the penultimate round of the league, the top two teams both defeated their opponents, Schalke defeated Hertha Berlin 4-0 at home, and Dortmund defeated Kaiserslautern 5-2 to advance to the Bundesliga 2.
Both scored 75 points at the same time.
This is already the fourth-highest score in the history of the Bundesliga. Dortmund relied on this score to win the seventh league championship in team history last year. But this year, this score is likely to be only the runner-up, or even the runner-up. It’s more than just this achievement.
The final round of the league will start in five days. If Schalke 04 and Dortmund can defeat their opponents by then, they will both tie the league record of 78 points set by Bayern Munich in 1998-1999. However, Dortmund's current net score is There are as many as 48 winning goals, while Schalke 04 has "only" 34. With the same points, Schalke 04 can only sit back and watch the derby opponent unless they score more than ten to zero in the last game. Reached the top.
Of course, if Schalke 04 wins and Dortmund loses and draws, Sand Mine can also win the Bundesliga championship.
The suspense of the league championship was kept until the last round, but it did not come to the last minute.
On May 5, the matches between the two sides started at the same time.
Dortmund plays Freiburg at home, and Schalke 04 plays Werder Bremen away.
The salad plate of the Bundesliga championship trophy was taken to Dortmund's home stadium Signal Iduna Park, but there is also a replica at the Weser Stadium. Obviously, Dortmund's victory is the mainstream view.
The players of the Miners were somewhat absent-minded and had been distracted by the performance in the stands, hoping to know the situation of Dortmund's game through the fans' reaction.
Bremen, which has secured ninth place in the league, is also in no mood to play. They just clock in and go to work as usual, and go on a happy vacation after the game.
One was distracted and the other had no desires. The two sides fought a civilized and polite battle. They only fought for points and did not seek KOs. As a result, all kinds of shots flew on the field, but none of them entered the goal.
This situation did not get better as the game progressed, but intensified.
Because the away fans who were still cheering for the team with all their strength gradually became quiet, while the restless and kind-hearted Bremen fans were very considerate and loudly broadcast the score of Dortmund's game to the sand mine players on the field. .
"Dortmund is 1-0!"
"2-0! Dortmund 2-0 Freiburg!"
"3-0! Dortmund Bundesliga champions!"
"4-0! You lost! Dortmund is the champion! Accept the reality!"
No one knew whether this was Bremen's psychological tactics or the real situation. They became even more flustered and the atmosphere on the court was lifeless.
The only exception is probably Yang Feng.
He already has 15 league goals. If he scores two more, he will break Yang Chen's record. If he scores three more, he will surpass Cha Bum-gen and become the only player in Asia to score more than 17 goals in a single season in the five major leagues.
It doesn't matter if you have a false reputation, the points are the important thing.
After defeating Lisbon in the first round of the Europa League, there are 7 points. The league helped the team reverse Augsburg and got 2 points. Hard training got 1 point. In the second round, they scored another goal against Sporting Lisbon and got 1 point. Now the points are 11 points.
Facts have proved that it is not impossible to score 9 points in a game. Breaking records, scoring four goals for the first time in his career, etc. may make him rich in one game and get another blue card before the Europa League final. .
However, the teammates are all preoccupied and seem to have forgotten that even if Dortmund loses, if they cannot win, they will still not be able to win the championship.
However, if Dortmund is really 4-0 at halftime, Schalke will indeed be meaningless.
"You are not doing anyone's business," he looked at the stands depressedly, "I will remember this."
The situation on the field suddenly changed in the 40th minute of the game.
Bremen forward Hunter forced his way into the penalty area with one against two. He was slightly pulled by Escudero on the right, lost his balance and fell into the penalty area, winning a penalty kick.
This goal was actually a bit controversial, but neither captain Hewedes nor Escudero, who committed the foul, even had the slightest intention of arguing with the referee.
Pizarro pushed into the lower right corner, 1-0.
The first half of the game is over.
The Schalke players looked at the coaching bench with the last trace of luck, hoping to hear the coach tell them personally that the 4-0 was made up by Bremen fans, and the real situation was actually 0-4. , Dortmund overturned at the Signal Iduna Park and were beaten four times by Freiburg in the half.
But Stevens had a sullen expression and said nothing. He just stood at the door of the tunnel and shook hands with his players one by one.
The situation is clear.
What the Bremen fans say is true.
Dortmund led Freiburg 4-0 at halftime and secured the 2011-2012 Bundesliga championship at halftime.
Yang Feng was the last to walk over, and Stevens sighed secretly, feeling a little unsure of how to face him.
If there is anyone in Schalke 04 this season, or even in the entire Bundesliga, who is most worthy of winning the championship, then Huntelaar is definitely one, and so can Yang Feng.
The former scored 33 league goals, 7 more than the second-placed Gomez. He broke many records in one season, but could not win a championship trophy. It was really unfair.
Yang Feng also performed at a championship level in the second half of the league. He scored a hat-trick against Borussia Monchengladbach, scored three goals against Bayern Munich, and scored two goals against Dortmund. They were all god-like performances. Such a person cannot win the championship. , even some Dortmund fans felt unworthy for him.
Seeing how Stevens wanted to say something but couldn't find the words, Yang Feng comforted him very sensibly and said, "Come back next year."
Stevens raised his eyelids in surprise and finally showed his first smile today, "I'm very happy, Yang, you finally look like a warrior."
"I've always been a fighter, okay."
"Next year! Next season!" Stevens said almost through gritted teeth, "The championship must be ours!"
"I'm glad, boss, you finally look like a warrior."
Stevens burst into laughter and slapped him hard on the head, "Go and have a good rest. I will replace you at the beginning of the second half. We should prepare for the Europa League."
"Don't!" Yang Feng said, "I will fight until the last moment."
"reason?"
"As you said, I am a warrior, and a warrior has to fight until the end."
This kind of nonsense can fool a talent like hell. Fortunately, Stevens is not a fool. He quickly thought of the reason, "For that damn Asian record?"
"Yes, Asian record, I want to prove to the world who is the real number one in Asia before Shinji Kagawa leaves the Bundesliga," Yang Feng imitated his tone, "Oh, my damn desire to win and vanity!"
Stevens shook his head, "I can only give you half an hour."
"Half an hour...should be enough, right?"
Not just enough, but more than enough.
Raul and Draxler were still very loyal. Although they were no longer interested in playing, they saw that Yang Feng was focused on scoring goals and tried their best to assist him.
Even Uchida Atsuhito was extremely active and kept putting the ball at Yang Feng's feet as if he were flattering.
Driven by them, the teammates finally came to life, and the whole team actually had a sense of "fighting for Yang Feng."
The whole team worked hard, and Yang Feng scored the three easiest goals of the season so far.
In the 50th minute, after a one-two between Raul and Draxler, Yang Feng pushed the opponent into the empty goal, 1-1.
"You tied the score for the team and gained a point. Current points: 12"
In the 56th minute, Farfan suddenly broke out before being substituted. Messi possessed him in the penalty area. He passed three people and was stopped by Predel with a hug. Schalke 04 got a penalty kick. .
Yang Feng hit the penalty kick and scored his 17th goal in the league, tying the single-season scoring record for Asian players in the five major leagues created by Cha Bumgen, and also breaking the scoring record for Chinese players in the five major leagues created by Yang Chen. ...2 points?
"You are so stingy..."
Yang Feng turned around and high-fived his teammates, thanking them for their success.
"Only the last one left," Raul rubbed his head, "Let's have a happy ending...well, it's not very happy after all."
As he said himself, on the road to the championship, the most painful thing is falling in the last step, and Schalke is experiencing this pain.
This year's defeat is enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
Bremen also knew that Yang Feng wanted to break the record, so of course they would not be kind enough to let him shoot, and further increased their defense against him.
Yang Feng was not a fool. In the 60th minute of the game, he relied on his personal ability to create an opportunity that was not a chance. He first changed direction and passed Schmitz, then accelerated past Predel, facing the attacking opponent. Goalkeeper Wiese made another pendulum pass.
"Goal! Young's 18th goal in the league! 31st goal of the season! The third career hat trick! Yes, you heard it right, three hat tricks in his first season! The opponents he faced were the fourth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach in the league. Debach, La Liga powerhouse Athletic Bilbao and ninth-place Werder Bremen!”
"In another arena, the miracle did not happen. Dortmund still led Freiburg 4-0. We may have concluded that this season's Bundesliga champion is Dortmund, and the runner-up is Schalke 04, who also gained an incredible 78 points. Yang has broken almost all Asian records, but unfortunately missed the championship. But he does not need to be discouraged and sad, because he is only eighteen years old, this is the first year of his career, and he still has a lot to achieve. Time to create your own glory and history..."
"Congratulations to Yang Feng, who scored the 18th goal in the league. I didn't expect him to do it in his first season," Duan Xuan's voice was both excited and emotional. "Cha Bum-gen's record has become history, and Asian football has turned upside down. A new page has opened, and the only record left in front of him now is Cha Bum-geun’s 98 goals in the Bundesliga.”
"You broke the single-season scoring record for Asian players in the five major leagues and gained 3 points. Current points: 17."
After missing out on the championship, Yang Feng was not in the mood to celebrate. He just applauded the away fans and thanked them for their support before being replaced by Obasi.
After ninety minutes, the score did not change. Schalke 04 ended the season's league journey with a 3-1. Yang Feng also used a hat trick to write a summary of his first Bundesliga season. A flawed end, and the league rankings are completely settled.
Dortmund won the cup at their home court and successfully defended the title. Schalke 04 struggled to catch up after falling behind by as many as nine points at the half-way point. They once caught up with Dortmund on the same points, but they still could only stay on the road of being second in the millennium. He took another deep step forward.
"Your team won the league runner-up, and you played a key role in it, earning 3 points. Current points: 20"
lottery!
"Master Gao Qiu bless me and give me a super shooter card."
With the shooter card, Bebaka can be freed from shooting and put it back on the stopped ball that he has been obsessed with.
Unfortunately, things went counterproductive...
"How could it be this guy?"
A blue card flew in front of Yang Feng.
I can't get past you and your last name is...Real Madrid's offensive brake...
