Draxler got what he wanted and immediately ran towards Yang Feng and jumped towards him.
Yang Feng quickly reached out to catch it, and the two hugged each other.
"Hahaha," Draxler put his legs around Yang Feng's waist, held his face in his hands and shook him hard, "I thank you on behalf of my cousin!"
"...Are you going down by yourself or should I throw you down?"
Draxler then let go of his legs, ran to the sidelines, and celebrated wildly.
"Goal!!! Young's free kick hit the goal post. Fortunately, Draxler arrived in time and shot the ball into the net. Schalke 04 further expanded the score."
"It's a pity that if it had been a direct goal, this goal might have been more exciting. Of course, Draxler's follow-up shot was also very beautiful. It was 4-1. There was less than twenty minutes left in the game and Olympiacos still had Without one person, the situation is quite unfavorable for them.”
Stevens clenched his fist and waved hard, and quickly replaced Yang Feng with Barnetta.
"Yang Feng is off the field. In his first Champions League game, he directly scored two goals with one shot and one pass. Of the remaining two goals, Huntelaar's penalty kick was given by him to Drax. Draxler's pass was caused by Draxler's free kick. So although there is only one goal and one assist on paper, in fact all four goals are related to Yang Feng. , it is no exaggeration to say that he once again single-handedly led Schalke 04 to victory."
Yang Feng came to sit next to Raoul.
Raul handed him the towel and said with a smile: "How does it feel in the first game of the Champions League?"
Yang Feng wiped his sweat and said, "The beginning of a legendary journey?"
"...I hope so too."
The next time was basically Olympiacos attacking desperately, while Schalke 04 defended tightly, and finally dragged the 4-1 score to the end of the game.
Schalke 04 won the first game, winning seven consecutive games on all fronts this season, and their form is as hot as ever.
In another game in the same group, Arsenal defeated Montpellier by a small score of 2-1. As a result, Schalke temporarily ranked first in Group B, while Arsenal ranked second.
Among the other two German teams that also competed in the Champions League, Bayern Munich defeated Valencia 2-1 with the help of Schweinsteiger and Muller's goals, and Dortmund also relied on Lewandowski's goal in the final stage 1 -0 narrow win over Ajax.
In comparison, Schalke 04, which defeated Schalke with three goals, looked quite impressive. However, "Kicker" praised Schalke's outstanding performance while also raising concerns, "Schalke has played seven games this season. , except for missing the German Cup, Yang has played in the other six games. In these six games, except for his mediocre performance against Fürth in the third round of the league, he has scored in the other five games. It can be said that Schalke 04 relied on his goals to win these five games, so the question is, what should Schalke 04 do when Young becomes ill or has problems with his condition?"
Olympiacos coach Jardim's post-match remarks also reinforced this argument.
The Portuguese coach believed that Olympiacos did not lose to Schalke 04, but only lost to Yang Feng. He first affirmed the performance of his players, but then said sourly, "When your team When you have a player like Young, winning becomes very easy..."
There is still a second round of competition between the two sides. Jardim said that whether Yang Feng can be restricted will be the key to the game. Coincidentally, Bayern coach Heynckes was talking about the upcoming competition with Schalke 04. The same thing is said, "There are many outstanding players in Schalke. If anyone is special, I think their No. 9, Chinese player Yang Feng, needs us to take him seriously..."
The foreign media just gave normal praise, while the domestic reports were a bit exaggerated. Anyway, Yang Feng took a casual glance at it and was too embarrassed to look at it again.
After returning from Greece, I had one day of rest and one day of training. On the third day, I studied the opponent and formulated tactics. On the fourth day, we faced the challenge of Bayern Munich.
"Friends, spectators, welcome to the Veltins Arena. In ten minutes, a focus battle of the Bundesliga will start here. Schalke 04, Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt are the only three teams in the top three. The three teams that have won all the rounds are also ranked in the top three of the current Bundesliga. Bayern Munich ranks first with a goal difference of 10, and Schalke 04 with a goal difference of 7 is temporarily ranked first. Second place, so this game will be a battle for the top spot..."
In the locker room, everyone was in good spirits, and there was no sign of the nervousness before the war. Stevens even made a joke.
"The focus is on Kroos," Stevens drew the key points on the tactical board. "As long as we can freeze him, our defense will be half successful. Of course, Robben and Muller cannot be ignored, but our wingers He’s not a vegetarian either… Speaking of which, does anyone else’s mother, cousin, or cousin have a birthday today? Or is it someone else’s special day?”
Raul raised his hand silently, "It's my aunt's birthday."
"Come on, man, you're not in the starting lineup today," Draxler said. "It's my ex-girlfriend's birthday and I feel like I need a goal."
Unastall was unwilling to be left alone and said: "My sister-in-law has her birthday and I also want to score goals. Can I apply for a change of position?"
"Of course," Stevens said, "The premise is that we have to lead by 10 goals first, and then I will consider you as a striker."
"And let Yang guard the door?"
"That's a good idea."
"I'm looking forward to that scene, it will be wonderful."
"I've done this in Football Manager and I have to say, he's terrible at goalkeeping..."
"Thank you."
"Okay," Stevens clapped his hands, "Everyone is relaxed, which is a good sign, but what we are about to face today is Bayern Munich. Do you remember last season? It's just one game! As long as you win more, even if it's With one more draw, we would have won the league championship last season! I hope we don’t have to experience that kind of pain again this season! So we have to try to win every game!”
"Yeah," Fuchs said, "it was a terrible feeling."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, while Raoer looked at Yang Feng strangely.
The kid was quite normal at first, but when the coach asked who had a birthday, his mood suddenly felt a little off.
"What's wrong with you? Are you suddenly depressed?"
"It's nothing," Yang Feng said, "Actually, for the Chinese, today is indeed a very special day."
"What day?" Raul thought for a moment, "September 18th, it seems like it's not your country's National Day, right?"
"No, that was the beginning of a history of humiliation, but we have come through it and become stronger," Yang Feng said. "It's a pity that our football doesn't know when it will come out."
Raul seemed to understand, but he still comforted him: "Don't be like this, don't you have you in your country? It proves that everything is developing in a good direction, doesn't it?"
"Of course not..." Yang Feng said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about happiness. Guess how many I can score today."
"one."
"So you look down on me?"
"Hey, it's Bayern Munich opposite."
"It's Bayern Munich we're playing against."
"..."
“Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.
Schalke 4-4-2:
Goalkeeper: 36 Onner Starr;
Defenders: 4 Hwedes (c), 14 K. Papadopoulos, 32 Matip, 23 Fuchs;
Midfielder: 13 Jones, 12 Heger, 31 Draxler, 17 Farfan;
Forwards: 25 Huntelaar, 7 Yang Feng.
Matip and Papadopoulos, who performed well in the last game, continued to start, and Atsuto Uchida continued to sit on the bench. In the midfield and frontcourt, Raul was excluded from the starting lineup, and Stevens ranked Jones + Hoegel's double midfielder formation seems to be very wary of Bayern Munich's offensive power, but this way Schalke 04 will lose a midfield organizer, and the offense will be handed over to the two wingers and Yang Maple comes to advance..."
"For Bayern Munich, Franck Ribery is unable to play due to a thigh injury. Muller will serve on the left wing, with Luis Gustavo and Mandzukic replacing Xavi Martinez and Pizarro who started Wednesday's Champions League game.
Goalkeeper: 1 Neuer;
Defenders: 21 Lahm (c), 17 J. Boateng, 4 Dante, 28 Badstuber;
Midfielder: 31 Schweinsteiger, 30 Luis Gustavo, 25 Thomas Muller, 39 Kroos, 10 Robben;
Forwards: 9 Mandzukic. "
As both contracted players under Struss, the relationship between Yang Feng and Kroos is not as good as that of Royce, but they have met a few times. The two shook hands in the player tunnel and encouraged each other.
"We played very well in the Champions League," Cross said. "It's just a pity that we didn't score the free kick at the end."
Yang Feng smiled and said: "I also feel very sorry. I hope this game can make up for it."
"Manuel won't let you have your wish."
When Noelle heard his name, he looked back.
Yang Feng looked at him and the two nodded and looked away.
Although they both came from the Schalke 04 youth training and were two representative figures in the Schalke 04 youth training, Neuer was already the captain of the adult team when Yang Feng entered the youth team, so there was no overlap between them. Now each has his own master, one is a forward and the other is a goalkeeper. They are destined to be natural rivals.
At the beginning of the game, the referee signals the players from both sides to enter the court.
When Neuer came out, the audience erupted in deafening boos and abuse.
"Hush! Hush! Hush! Hush!"
"Judas! Judas! Judas!"
"My cousin raised Noelle!"
Neuer held his head high and his face was expressionless.
When Yang Feng came on the stage, he was naturally treated in the opposite direction, and as if to anger Neuer, the fans' applause and cheers were a bit more enthusiastic than usual.
"Yang! Shoot him hard! Score a dead goal!"
"mvp! mvp! mvp!"
The sound was so loud that even Huntelaar, who appeared in the finale, was a little bit annoyed.
Yang Feng had to wave to the stands. His original intention was to keep the fans low-key, but unexpectedly it aroused even louder cheers, which made the well-informed Bayern generals look at him with suspicion.
Why is this guy so popular?
Being popular is not necessarily a good thing. Yang Feng received special attention from the beginning. He had to be followed by a defensive player within one step. This made it difficult for him to move in the opening stage, and he did not even have a chance to touch the ball.
The pace of the game was fast, and just after five minutes, both sides completed a kick.
"Robben dribbled the ball so fast, he seemed to be flying! Héwedes...couldn't stop him! Huh? He didn't cut inside?"
Robben made a fake move to cut inside, but the result was that he dunked the ball toward the baseline, catching Schalke's defender off guard.
Mandzukic and Muller ran to both sides of the goal, waiting for his pass, but Luo ingeniously passed the ball diagonally near the baseline to the top of the penalty area.
Cross quickly stepped in and fired an angry shot into the air against the falling football.
"Robben made a long pass to Kroos! Long shot! Oh, I didn't hold it down, the football missed the crossbar and went out of the bottom line..."
"It's Schalke's turn to counterattack. They also go to the right. Can Farfan retaliate?"
As soon as Farfan dribbled the ball past the center line, he couldn't move forward and could only pass the ball back.
After receiving the ball, Hegel went straight to the middle to find Yang Feng. Yang Feng barely squeezed Gustavo away and kicked the ball, but it was passed to the right.
Farfan quickly stepped forward, took the ball and walked to the center. He took a long shot 25 meters away from the goal. Unfortunately, the angle was too right and Neuer easily confiscated it.
Naturally, what fans like to watch most is this kind of offensive battle. Unfortunately, the subsequent development of the game failed to go in the direction they hoped for.
Stevens played a forward and played a defensive midfielder, obviously taking a counter-attack route. After Farfan's attack, Schalke began to become passive on the court.
Yang Feng will not be completely frozen, but his organizational weakness is fully exposed. He can only open the gap through personal breakthroughs, but this method is destined to wait for a flash of inspiration at a certain moment and the opponent will make mistakes, allowing himself to burst out. Run forward tens of meters and then complete the final pass or score a goal. Otherwise, no matter how exciting the pass is, it will only be a small effort.
Bayern played much more methodically.
Stevens was still very accurate, and Cross became the key.
His ball in the midfield accurately caught Schalke's loopholes and made many wonderful passes.
In the 5th minute, Cross passed the ball diagonally from the right and Mandzukic took the ball outside the penalty area.
Papatopoulos and Matip unexpectedly missed the ball at the same time. Muller inexplicably appeared at the spot where the football landed and headed the ball lightly.
He didn't use any force on the ball, but he hit it very skillfully. The football flew directly to the lower left corner of the goal.
Heynckes had already clenched his fists and was about to celebrate, but Onnerstall suddenly made a world-class save, fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand.
Muller hugged his head in annoyance and made an exaggerated expression on his face, but Yang Feng in the backcourt couldn't help but whistle softly.
Erwa's movement is really... breathtaking.
Ethereal and mysterious, metaphysical movement.
"I don't know when I will be able to draw this card..."

I checked and found that Umbro was acquired by Nike in 2008 and sold to an American company in October 2012. It was difficult to handle.
