There was a bit of uneasiness in their eyes, because they knew that they would face a tough battle tonight.
The Schalke fans were immersed in this enthusiasm. They sang the team anthem, waved the flags in their hands, and their faces were filled with pride and confidence.
They believe that in this passionate home court, Schalke 04 will respond to the shock brought by this TIFO with a victory.
This huge TIFO also made Xiao Yu sigh for the first time that the atmosphere of the stadium can be so good.
"CCTV! CCTV! Hello, viewers! What you are watching is the first game of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2010-2011 season. It is also the first match between the Bundesliga giants Schalke 04 and Chelsea who came all the way from England. Round game. I am He Wei, the commentator for this game, and next to me is my partner Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu.”
"Good morning, viewers, I am Zhang Lu!"
"The huge TIFO on this pitch is not friendly enough to Chelsea."
"The Ruhr area has always been a fanatical representative."
When the two commentators were talking eloquently.
Players from both teams have lined up in the tunnel.
Xiao Yu also saw his former idol Raul, the King of the Rings, and Neuer, the first national goalkeeper after the German Lion King Kahn in his previous life.
"Hello, Xiaoxin!" Xiao Yu also greeted Noelle with a smile.
This made Noelle confused, "You called me?"
"Yes, Xiaoxin means your name in Chinese!" Xiao Yu also explained.
"Oh! Xiaoxin, your Chinese is quite good." Neuer also replied with great interest, and then he clenched his right fist and beat his chest, and continued: "I will try my best to zero-block you today."
"Then you have to work hard!" Xiao Yu also replied with a smile. Xiao Yu also recognized Neuer's ability. Xiao Yu was very excited to be able to compete with him, but he had a "plug-in" "Yes, Neuer still has no hope of keeping them clean.
Suddenly, a voice that sounded like the voice of Xiao Tian in the anti-Japanese drama sounded next to them: "Xiao Jun, I heard that it was you who broke the hat trick record of senior Zhongshan Masashi. This time, I will make it impossible for you to come back."
Listening to him speak, Noelle also frowned.
Xiao Yu looked at the back and saw that there was indeed a short Asian face (Xiao Yu was 188 and Uchida Atsuhito was 176, so he could indeed be a small man).
"Who are you?" Xiao Yu really couldn't remember a Schalke 04 player who had a small life.
"I am Uchida Atsuhito, and I am responsible for guarding you today! I won't let you pass!" Uchida Atsuhito has that mysterious confidence for some reason.
Xiao Yu just chuckled, shook his head and said in Chinese: "Haha! I don't understand!"
Then he ignored him and made harsh remarks off the court. Xiao Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Afterwards, he walked towards Raul and had a close encounter with his idol.
"Hi! Lord of the Rings, I've been your fan since I was a child!" Xiao Yu instantly transformed into a little fanboy and greeted him with Raul's celebration gesture.
Raul responded with a smile: "Thank you! But you are the hottest star in Europe now!"
The two shook hands and both laughed, causing Atsushi Uchida to curse and grunt again, but no one paid him any attention.
Xiao Yu looked around and did not see Hao Junmin. It must be that he was not included in the big list.

"The players from both sides have finished entering. The referee for this game is Velasco from Spain. In the group stage, Velasco officiated a Chelsea game, and his penalty in that game was also It has been praised by many parties." He Wei's explanation continued.
"Chelsea, who are playing away from home, will take the lead in this game. We see that Torres and Xiao Yu are already standing in the center circle. We only need to wait for the referee's whistle to officially start the game."
"Hey! We saw that something went wrong on the field. The referee did not blow the whistle to start the game."
"The referee kept waving to the sidelines. There must be some technical failure."
"We just took this time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. Schalke 04, which is at home today, has a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper No. 1 Neuer,
The four defenders are No. 2 Sarpe, No. 21 Metzelder, No. 32 Matip and No. 22 Uchida Atsuto.
The four midfielders are No. 11 Baumjohn, No. 18 Jurado, No. 14 Papadopoulos, and No. 17 Farfan.
The double forwards are No. 7 Raul and No. 9 Edu. "
"This is also the same starting lineup they had in the quarter-finals. Metzelder has returned from injury, but their top scorer Huntelaar is still injured and failed to play in this game."
"Chelsea has a 4-3-3 formation.
Goalkeeper No. 1 Petr Cech,
The four defenders are No. 3 Ashley Cole, No. 26 Terry, No. 4 David Luiz, and No. 2 Ivanovic.
Back midfielder No. 5 Essien,
The two attacking midfielders are No. 8 Lampard and No. 10 Toni Kroos.
The front trident is No. 7 Xiao Yu, No. 9 Torres and No. 39 Anelka. "
"Drogba did not start today, and Carlo Ancelotti also used Chelsea's strongest defense in defense. It seems that both teams want to win this game steadily."
"That's natural. After all, we have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. The next step is to get the championship trophy."
"Director Zhang, look at this situation. The referee actually left the court. This is really a big episode."
"Yes! It seems that this is not a simple technical failure, indicating that today's game is destined to be extraordinary. Chelsea is the defending champion of the Premier League, and has now successfully completed the defense. It can be said that Chelsea is already the strongest team in the Premier League this season. . And Schalke 04 was second in the league last season. After fighting on multiple fronts this season, their lineup depth problem has also been exposed. They are currently only ranked 10th in the Bundesliga. However, in this game, both sides also There is a chance.”
"The two teams have played against each other twice in history. Chelsea won 1, drew 1, scored 2 goals and conceded 0 goals. Among them, they won 1 at home, scored 2 goals and conceded 0 goals. The two sides met in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2007-08 season. Chelsea played at home Defeat Schalke 2:0 and draw 0:0 away from home. And it was in this year that Chelsea entered the Champions League final, but lost to Manchester United in the same league on a penalty kick and missed the club's first Champions League trophy. After that, Schalke 04 played at home The English team also failed to score a goal, and that was in the group stage of the 2008-09 season when they lost to Manchester City with the same score of 0-2."
"However, Schalke 04 is a veteran team in the Bundesliga. Their style of play has always been tough. Today, their top scorer Huntelaar is still injured. And Chelsea has players like Xiao Yu and Torres. Top players with full offensive firepower. In this game, both sides will go all out to provide the fans with a wonderful contest."
