Chapter 172: Top 8 Warring States Rice

In order to fully meet the Ruhr Derby, Magath even carried out a lot of rotations in the second leg of the Champions League at home in the middle of the week. The starting forward Ruud van Nistelrooy and captain Westermann both sat on the bench, which can be said to be quite risky the behavior of.

The away game is 2:1, the advantage is not big or small. As long as you don't lose two goals at home, you can advance. At first, Gelsenkirchen was not worried at all, but when the starting lineup came out, the media in Gelsenkirchen were taken aback.

For the Ruhr Derby, so much fun? Take the Champions League to risk?

However, the media outside of Germany found it very interesting. No matter what time it is, the Ruhr Derby is always the most important game for the two teams. The championship can not be lost, and the derby cannot be lost, but it is really no joke.

Of course, Magath would not admit that he would bet on the Derby with the Champions League, especially when the second round is imminent. No rest this season, as for Ruud van Nistelrooy, looking at his age, I think everyone knows why. It's just a regular lineup rotation, I don't understand what this has to do with the Ruhr derby. In the league and We have different goals in the Champions League and the coaching staff just want to strike a balance between the two."

Magath's words reveal a strong confidence-even if the two main players are replaced, it will not affect the result of the game at all.

Although the Russian media felt slighted, the facts proved that without the blessing of Moscow's ice and snow extreme climate, they really had no power to fight back against Schalke 04.

Only four minutes into the game, Jiang Hao took advantage of the single-handedly to take the lead, and the total score was rewritten to 3:1. CSKA Moscow's high-position pressing had just started and suffered a blow.

And this is just the beginning... Forty minutes into the game, Schalke 04 extended the score to 2:0. Now all the reporters and commentators don't mind Magath's pre-match rotation at all. Facts have proved that this does not affect them at all. As long as you prove that you are strong enough, no matter what you say or do, it will be considered reasonable.

At the beginning of the second half, Magath replaced Zhou Tiancheng with Baumjohn. Marcel Leff laughed: "Magat kept saying before the game that he would not consider the Ruhr Derby. This substitution proved that what he said was all lies. Otherwise, how can he explain that he sent Zhou Han with two assists?" Injuries? Almost no injuries in the past two seasons."

What makes the Chinese fans feel a little relieved is that after Zhou Tiancheng left the field, Jiang Hao played as usual, and he cooperated with Baumjohann as well, and he also created several shooting opportunities for him with one kick back. There is a voice in the circle and the media circle that Jiang Hao is just a striker who can eat cakes and needs a strong team tactical system to feed him. People who hold this view are not optimistic about Jiang Hao's future ceiling. If he goes to the real The top giants don’t formulate tactics completely around him. Every player wants to have a group of star teammates around him to play. The coach only says "pass the ball to him" at critical moments, but there is only one named Leo on this planet. Messi's little man has this kind of treatment - Zhou Tiancheng also has this kind of treatment in Schalke, but the teammates around him are not as good as the group of top big names around Messi.

However, Jiang Hao's several bright spots in the second half of the game seemed to be the most powerful counterattack in the dark. He actually didn't know how the country evaluated him, but after this game, fans and the media who had prejudiced before realized that they I haven't fully understood Jiang Hao yet.

In fact, this is the improvement that Magath brought to Jiang Hao. He hopes that Jiang Hao can strengthen his awareness of cooperating with his surrounding teammates and enrich the sense of attack. When Van Nistelrooy is not on the court, he can also take the ball and stimulate the offensive ability of his midfield teammates. Judging from the effect of this game, Magath's idea has achieved initial results.

After successfully advancing to the quarter-finals, all the team's attention was shifted to the Ruhr Derby. The entire media in Gelsenkirchen seemed to have been slapped with chicken blood. The "Mining District News" specially printed a special edition of the Ruhr Derby.

Summarize the historical grievances of the Ruhr Derby, take stock of the results of the confrontation, and analyze the opponent from the standpoint of Schalke 04.

As long as the derby is approaching every season, these are fixed programs. Even during Dortmund's historic downturn in the 2007-08 season (only ranked 13th at the end of the season), the then coach Slomka still made a substantial rotation in the first round of the game.

The football talk throughout Gelsenkirchen is the Ruhr derby. If they win the next game, Schalke 04 will lead Dortmund by 11 points, and will personally end their arch-enemy's hope of winning the championship. Moreover, since Dortmund has already been eliminated in the German Cup, it means that they are likely to lose all four players this season. For Schalke, this is even better than winning the championship.

In this atmosphere, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals on the second day after the end of the Champions League match day has become marginalized news here.

Zhou Tiancheng also learned that Schalke will face Inter Milan in the quarterfinals through online news after training. He did not expect that what he said casually a few months ago would really come true.

The UEFA Champions League draw is not of much concern in Gelsenkirchen, but it is not the same at home. The results of the lottery were released. Although it was early in the morning Beijing time, the Internet was already buzzing early the next morning. Even the fans who didn't watch the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony ran to Zhou Tiancheng's latest Weibo to leave a message after knowing the result in the morning.

And the media is all kinds of god headlines.

NetEase: [The desired opponent is still here! What is the winning percentage of Inter Milan, which Zhou Tiancheng wants to touch the most? 】

Sina: [Thanks to Lyon? Eliminating Real Madrid cleared away a strong opponent for Schalke, and the probability of winning this level is second only to Barcelona! 】

Sohu: [Devil VS Madman! Two personality coaches fight in the Champions League. 】

Following this news, many netizens said that Benzema is all to blame! If he doesn't miss the chance to kill in front of the goal, Real Madrid may drag the game into overtime...

There are also Real Madrid fans who said that it is the first time that they do not feel panicked by Real Madrid's annual Champions League Sixteen Lang, and hope that Schalke will not waste Lyon's divine assists.

And Zhou Tiancheng didn't have time to pay attention to the follow-up reaction at all. After coming to the training ground the next day, Magath deliberately mentioned the result of the draw. In fact, it was just to focus the attention of the whole team. Inter Milan was the opponent half a month later, and The current Ruhr Derby is the real one that cannot be missed.

Before such an important game, Magath got Farfan's permission to play from team doctor Lajota.

The return of the main force is a good thing. But Magath originally planned to continue to give Hao Junmin, who was basically qualified in the first show, a chance, and now he has to do this somewhat happy multiple-choice question.
