"After winning the Ruhr area derby, Schalke won its second important away victory in 5 days. On Wednesday (October 24) night, they defeated Arsenal 3-1 away from home in the third round of the Champions League group stage. It was the first time I tasted defeat in the Champions League at home.
Chinese teenager Yang Feng opened the scoring for the team just 15 seconds into the game. Ramsey then helped Arsenal tie the score. However, before the end of the first half, Yang Feng passed six people and scored a goal that shocked everyone. A one-stop goal led Schalke 04 to exceed the score again.
At the beginning of the second half, Yang Feng used a corner kick opportunity to assist Raul to score his first goal in the Champions League this season. Raul also raised the historical scoring record in the Champions League to 72 goals.
In another match in the same group, Olympiacos defeated Montpellier 2-1 away from home.
After 3 rounds, Schalke ranks first in Group B with 7 points from two wins and a draw, followed by Arsenal (6 points), Olympiacos (3 points) and Montpellier (1 point) ranked 2 to 4 respectively.
Another Bundesliga team, Bayern Munich, failed to continue their wonderful performance in Dusseldorf last weekend. Franck Ribery, who returned to his hometown, only played half the game due to injury, but with Thomas Muller's penalty kick , the Bundesliga leader still defeated Lille 1-0 away in the third round of the Champions League group stage and scored three important points.
In another match in the same group, Valencia defeated Borisov 3-0 away from home.
After 3 rounds, Valencia, Borisov and Bayern are tied with 6 points, and the competition to qualify from the group is becoming increasingly fierce.
The most watched Group A continues to stage a championship showdown. Dortmund defeated the powerful La Liga defending champion Real Madrid 2-1 at home, winning its first victory over its opponent in history. The top three Bundesliga players once again achieved complete victory after the first round. Lewandowski opened the scoring in the first half, but Ronaldo quickly equalized. Schmelzer drew his left foot into the blind spot in the second half, leaving Casillas helpless.
In another game in the same group, Ajax, recognized as the weakest, defeated Manchester City 3-1 at home, making the situation in this championship group of death quite confusing.
After three rounds, Dortmund leads Group D with 7 points, Real Madrid has 6 points, Ajax has 3 points, and Manchester City has 1 point, ranking 2 to 4 respectively. "
The Big Three have all won in European competitions, and Schalke 04 and Dortmund defeated European giants like Arsenal and Real Madrid. The Bundesliga stole the show in this round of the Champions League.
Yang Feng and Raul have stood at the forefront of this trend, becoming the two most dazzling players in European and even world football this week.
Yang Feng's goal that scored six consecutive goals against Arsenal was named the best in this round of the Champions League. Some media have even called him a strong candidate for this year's Puskas Award.
Even the critical English media rarely praised Yang Feng collectively, saying that "Yang's goal completely conquered Arsenal and even the entire Premier League fans." But what is less known is that Yang Feng was also conquered by major players. Big bosses from wealthy families.
There are only two months left before the winter transfer window opens, and many transfer managers have already received instructions to "promote Young's joining at all costs."
Struth first counted a lot of team names, and finally highlighted two wealthy people, "The most sincere and financially powerful are Chelsea and Real Madrid. Both Abramovich and Florentino expressed this." For your desire, they said they can make an offer that Schalke 04 cannot refuse, and the annual salary can also reach the current world-class level."
The initial contact was still sneaky, and of course it was impossible to give specific figures, but Yang Feng could probably guess Real Madrid's bottom line based on Bell's transfer a year later.
The competitiveness and attention of the Bundesliga are not as good as those of the Premier League, and the hype ability is not as good as that of the Premier League. Therefore, Yang Feng is unlikely to become the first player in world football with a transfer fee of over 100 million like Bell, but he is definitely no longer on the "German Transfer Market" The target price of more than 30 million euros can be spent.
Yang Feng waved his hand and said, "We'll wait until the end of the season."
He has already played in the Champions League for Schalke 04. If he transfers in the winter, he will not be able to play on behalf of the new club in the Champions League this season. At this time, the transfer will be a bit outweighing the gains.
"But you have to give me a general intention first," Struth said. "After this season, you can no longer belong to Schalke 04. This is not a matter of loyalty or not, but even if you don't want to leave. , it is impossible for Schalke 04 to remain unmoved in the face of a huge offer..."
"I know, look again, think again."
If possible, everyone would want to move to a wealthy club, but if Yang Feng wants to earn points, going to a wealthy club may not be the best choice.
He is now at Schalke 04, and he can no longer get rewards for playing with ordinary Bundesliga teams. In the league, he can almost only earn points with Bayern and Dortmund. Similarly, if he really goes to Real Madrid, he will probably only be able to earn points with Barcelona and Madrid. Earn points by competing.
Of course, every loss must come with a gain. The probability of winning the championship will definitely be much higher after joining a giant. When the time comes, the rewards for winning the championship will be richer than scoring goals in normal games. There is still a tangle of choices.
…………
Three days after the Champions League, the ninth round of the Bundesliga kicked off.
Leverkusen relied on substitute Sam's lucky header before the end to defeat Bayern Munich in an away game for the first time in 23 years with a score of 2-1, handing the Southern King their second defeat of the season.
Bayern has 7 wins and 2 losses from 9 games, with 21 points.
At the Veltins Arena at the same time, Huntelaar, who was in poor condition during training, was placed on the bench. Yang Feng led the front line against Nuremberg at home.
Schalke 04 has lost, drawn and won in the last three league games. This game is related to whether they can regain their winning streak and continue to open up the gap with other teams.
The game was more difficult than expected. Schalke 04 encountered stubborn resistance from Nuremberg. It was not until the 77th minute that Farfan, who celebrated his 28th birthday a day ago, broke the deadlock.
After leading 1-0, the game became much easier to play. Yang Feng scored the winning goal shortly after Farfan scored, continuing his Bundesliga scoring momentum and reaching 13 consecutive games. There are only 3 games left to reach Gerd Muller's record.
With 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 9 games, Schalke 04 once again surpassed Bayern and ranked first in the league with 22 points.
Frankfurt, ranked third, lost to Stuttgart 1:2. After 9 rounds, it has 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 17 points, only 5 points behind Schalke at the top.
In this game, Yang Feng, who relied on a lucky shot to score a goal, performed relatively mediocrely. In the post-match ratings given by "Bild" and "Kicker", he only barely passed. However, after the game, Yang Feng still became the star of the entire Bundesliga and even the Bundesliga. The focus of the entire world football.
“In the early morning of October 28th, bj time, Turin Sports News announced the 40-person shortlist for the 2012 European Golden Boy Award.
In this big list, Yang Feng, the Bundesliga's best rookie last season, leads the list, and last year's Golden Boy Award winner Gotze is once again shortlisted.
In addition, AC Milan's Shaarawy, Bayern's Alaba, Inter Milan's Coutinho, Barcelona's 'Ronaldo' Deulofeu, Real Madrid's rising stars Jese and Varane, Liverpool's Sterling and Shelvey, Juventus midfielder Pogba, Malaga's supernova Isco and other European emerging players were all selected.
The European Golden Boy Award was created by Tuttosport in 2003. This award is awarded to the best player under the age of 21 who plays for a European club.
Van der Vaart, Rooney, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Aguero, Anderson, Pato, Balotelli and Gotze are the winners of the European Golden Boy Award in the past nine years.
Judging from the Golden Boy Award winners in the past 9 years, almost all of these people have become top stars, so the Golden Boy Award is also called the Under-21 Golden Globe Award. It is composed of experts from 20 European media and 30 reporters. The jury, such as "France Football", "L'Equipe", "The Times", "Marca", "World Sports", "Bild" and other authoritative media are judges.
The voting rules for the Golden Boy Award are that each judge selects 5 players from the candidates and scores them according to their ranking: 10 points for the first place, 7 points for the second place, 5 points for the third place, 3 points for the fourth place, and 3 points for the fifth place. 1 point each, and the one with the highest score will win the Golden Boy Award. "
Due to the national character, the Chinese media also hypocritically stated that “the competition for this year’s Golden Boy Award is very fierce, and young newcomers such as Lamela, Coutinho, El Shaarawy, Verratti, Isco, and Pogba are all expected to win the award. , of course, the biggest favorite is Yang Feng."
The German media was less reserved.
"Bild" couldn't wait to announce: "Not awarding the Golden Boy Award to Yang this year would be the biggest crime! In terms of honors, the Chinese striker has won the Europa League, German Super Cup and European Super Cup in 2012. And he was elected the best player of the tournament! In terms of performance, his goals are not only crucial, but also wonderful! In terms of statistics, he has scored seven hat tricks in one and a half years since his debut, scored in 13 consecutive Bundesliga games, and scored three goals in three Champions League games. …”
"Kicker", which had just tactfully criticized Yang Feng for not performing as well as the Champions League in the just-concluded league, also sang his praises, "The most disparate selection since the establishment of the Golden Boy Awards is about to take place! There are still more than 100 days left before the final review results. In nearly two months, unless other candidates can score a hat trick in every game during these two months, the Bundesliga will have its second Golden Boy Award winner in history!"
Compared to the Golden Boy Award, which is almost within his grasp, Yang Feng is still more concerned about the Bundesliga's consecutive scoring record.
There are three games left to tie and four games to break.
The media is also actively analyzing the situation for him. Some German media even unscrupulously suggested that Schalke 04's next opponents had better be quiet and at least not be too rough when defending Yang Feng.
However, before the tenth round of the league begins, the Chinese media is also restless.
As Yang Feng shines in Europe, the calls for him to join the national team are getting louder and louder. However, the national team has no competition tasks this year, but the National Youth League ushered in the Asian U19 Youth Football Championship.
This national youth team, led by Rick Linke, is an age-appropriate team for the 2016 Olympics and has high hopes from fans. Unfortunately, there were signs of tragedy before the trip.
Since the Chinese Super League was entering an intense stage at that time, some relegation teams were unwilling to release players, which directly led to the National Youth Team's pre-match preparations being in a state of shortage of players for a long time. It was not until two days before the trip that the entire lineup was assembled.
It's not that they haven't recruited Yang Feng, but Schalke 04 is fighting on the third front and is already at the most critical juncture. It's damn good if they are willing to let the talent go.
However, under the pressure of a shortage of major generals, short training time, and difficulty in getting the players to work together, Rick Link still shouted out the heroic words of "qualifying for the group stage" and "entering the World Youth Championship"...
Facts have proved that shouting slogans is useless.
On the first match day, the National Youth Team lost to Thailand 1-2, ushering in a bad start.
On the same day, Schalke 04 narrowly defeated Hoffenheim 4:3 in the Bundesliga. Yang Feng once again played the role of savior in the game, scoring twice and assisting twice.
Some discordant voices began to appear in the country, and arguments such as "I would rather be famous abroad than serve the country" began to appear in some small corners of the online world. However, mainstream public opinion still supported Yang Feng.
The Asian U19 Youth Football Championship group stage will be held from November 3 to November 17. On the Bundesliga side, if everything goes well, Yang Feng will also tie Muller's scoring record on the 17th...
On November 6, Schalke 04 ushered in the fourth game of the group stage, playing against Arsenal at home.
This time Wenger finally returned from the ban and was able to stand on the sidelines and personally direct.
The Gunners came prepared and indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Miners. The 0-0 deadlock lasted until injury time.
As a result, just after one minute of injury time, Yang Feng used a super arc kick from 25 meters away to help the team seal the victory.
Four days later, the league home game against Werder Bremen.
Yang Feng scored the only goal of the game again, and Schalke 04 continued to top the standings.
Yang Feng is only one game away from tying Muller's consecutive scoring record!
Also on this day, the National Youth League lost 1-2 to Iraq.
In contrast, many pseudo-fans who couldn't even tell the difference between the Bundesliga and the NBA began to question Yang Feng. However, under the strong suppression of the domestic mainstream media and real fans, the rhythm failed to pick up, and the wind direction not only did not become " "Yang Feng refused to be called up to the national team", but instead became "Look at Yang Feng, it's not that the Chinese can't play football, it's that blah blah blah"...
But even fans who know how critical Yang Feng's current stage is can't help but feel a little sad after seeing the stark contrast between the two sides.
On November 17, 2012, in the final round of the Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese National Youth Team lost 0-1 to the South Korean National Youth Team and was completely eliminated after losing all three games.
So far, the national team's performance in various competitions has hit a record low. The national youth team and the national junior team, which have the mission of the Asian Youth Championship and the Asian Junior Championship, have stopped in the group stage. The adult national team without the mission of the competition has not made much progress. , the only "bright spot" was being beaten 8-0 by the Brazilian team in the warm-up match. So throughout 2012, including the national football team, national youth team, women's youth team, etc., all the men's and women's national teams were eliminated in the group five times in one year. Looking back on the entire process, the keywords are all "miserable": "miserable defeat", "miserable defeat" "Killed", "Killed out"...
At the same time, in the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 challenged Bayer Leverkusen away.
Leverkusen didn't give in at all when facing the top of the standings. They took the initiative and quickly broke through Schalke 04's plastic defense. Fortunately, Huntelaar recovered and helped the team tie before the end of the first half. Score.
In the second half, Leverkusen once again relied on Kiesling's low shot from the left side of the penalty area to exceed the score. However, Schalke 04 quickly tied the score through Draxler's goal after returning from injury.
In the 80th minute of the game, Yang Feng finally scored his 17th goal of the season, helping the team open the door to victory and tying Gerd Muller's Bundesliga record for consecutive goals.
Comparable to the legend.
Next step, start transcending!

I'm in a bad mood today, and I'm not satisfied with this chapter myself. I'll adjust it as soon as possible.
The national team can't avoid it, but I wrote it in detail, and when I encountered it, I used Spring and Autumn's writing skills to guide me through it.
