In the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 lost away to Leverkusen, while in the other games of the same round, Bayern beat Nuremberg 2:1 away, Dortmund won Fürth 3:1 at home, Frankfurt home 4:2 won Augsburg.

Of the top five teams in the standings, only Schalke 04 lost.

After this round of competition, although the ranking order of the top five in the standings has not changed, the point difference between the teams has changed.

Currently Bayern has 31 points, Schalke 27 points, Frankfurt 23 points, Dortmund 22 points, Leverkusen 21 points.

Schalke 04 was widened by Bayern by 4 points. They couldn't catch up in one game, and the team behind them also took the opportunity to catch up to the point difference.

Schalke 04 already has a tendency to fall behind from the first group.

The team was in some turmoil. At this time, Li Chenglong was invited by the team chairman Clemens Tenness to have a cup of coffee together.

"Bruce, you don't need to worry. We will deal with the team's problems soon. You just need to rest assured and prepare for the game." Tenis came here to appease Li Chenglong.

In the performance of Schalke 04 in the past six months, Li Chenglong's strength has been recognized, and many rumors about Li Chenglong's transfer have begun to appear again.

For example, Bayern is worried about the competition from Schalke 04 and plans to poach Lee Chenglong.

And Arsenal in the Premier League is planning to attack Jackie Lee again, and wants to take him to the Emirates Stadium to play.

Anyway, just like those outstanding stars, there are all kinds of specious transfer rumors.

Tennis is also worried that because of the turmoil in the team, Li Chenglong really wants to leave.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I'm doing pretty well in Germany." Li Chenglong didn't respond positively, but gave a plausible answer.

After chatting with Tennis and returning home, Li Chenglong saw Angelika sending a beautiful girl out, and he didn't know if it was her girlfriend.

Although she claims to be a lily, Li Chenglong still rarely sees her with women.

"I heard you went for coffee?"

"Just a little bit."

"For professional athletes, it's best not to drink at all."

Angelika still spoke with a cold face, and Li Chenglong was used to it.

On November 21, in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 played against Olympiakos at home.

"For Schalke 04 in this game, as long as they draw, they will be able to advance to the group stage one round ahead of schedule, and if they win at home, they can also secure the first place in the group at the same time."

"For Olympiacos, at least one draw is necessary for them to continue to retain the chance to qualify for the group stage. In the last round, they will compete with Arsenal at home for the last qualifying place."

The commentator quickly made the key points of the game clear.

Schalke 04 wants to keep a tie and win at least one draw to ensure that they will qualify for a round ahead of the group stage. It is best to win the game and secure the first place in the group by the way.

Olympiacos also wants to keep a tie and win. A draw can allow them to continue to drag Arsenal. In the final round, a 2-0 win at home or a three-goal win can eliminate Arsenal.

If they can win the game, Olympiacos only needs to beat Arsenal in the last round to advance.

Of course, if Olympiacos loses and Arsenal wins against Montpellier, which has lost four games in a row, they will be eliminated from the Champions League one round earlier.

Regarding the matter of the weekend league, the club handled it quite quickly.

Holtby did not enter the squad at all in this game. Draxler became the biggest winner, and he justifiably won the position of the main attacking midfielder, and Barnetta served as the left midfielder.

Before the start of the game, Li Chenglong encouraged everyone: "Now we may have encountered some problems, but we cannot be affected by those off-court factors. We must win this game and secure the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule.

"

"In this way, we can transfer our energy to the league as soon as possible, and we can't be opened too far by Bayern."

Now that Li Chenglong's performance is getting better and better, he is naturally qualified to say such things.

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, Captain Hewedes also gathered everyone together and shouted three times: "Come on~~~Come on~~~Come on!!"

In this game, Schalke 04 is the whole team and must win the opponent at home.

But only 20 minutes into the game, Schalke's offensive was in full swing. At this time, Hogel, who played as a right back, was suddenly injured.

"Schalke's recent luck seems to be not very good. Injuries and some other off-court factors have found them one after another."

Hub Stevens had no choice but to let Greek defender Papadopoulos play, let him play central defender with Matip, and then replaced Hewedes to play right back.

Although Hewedes is a central defender, he is actually a versatile backcourt player. He can play both central defender and two full-backs, and he can even play a cameo role as a defensive midfielder if necessary.

After substitutions and adjustments, the game continued.

In this game, Olympiacos played relatively conservatively at the Schalke Stadium, with a standard defensive counterattack.

They probably think that one point is enough, and they don't want to compete with Schalke 04.

Jardim's defensive arrangement was very good. Throughout the first half, Schalke 04 failed to find a chance.

The sudden absence of Holtby, who has been the core of the team's midfield since last season, has somewhat affected the team's overall offense.

But as soon as the second half started, Schalke 04 found a chance.

In the 49th minute, Draxler and Barnetta passed the ball to Li Chenglong in front of the penalty area after a continuous pass from the left.

As soon as Li Chenglong received the ball, he avoided the pressing Italian midfielder Greco, so he immediately swung his legs and took a long shot before others came to defend him.

The ball flew past the opponent's defender Sivas and flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

Olympiacos goalkeeper Mayeri flew over to save, but failed to catch, the ball almost went towards the dead corner.

"Goooooooooal~~~~~~~~"

"Bruce Lee~~~~Beautiful long-range goal~~~~He hits the blind corner!!"

"Schalke finally broke the deadlock. This is a very good start. Although they were ended in a losing streak at the weekend, they need to get back to their form as soon as possible. This game is a good opportunity."

After the goal, Jackie Lee rushed to the sidelines and opened his arms to welcome the cheers from more than 60,000 fans.

"Bruce~~~Super Bruce!!!"

"Bruce~~~Super Bruce!!!"

The Germans seem to like to give their powerful players the title of super. There have been many super players in the history of the Bundesliga. Now Li Chenglong has also begun to be widely called Super Blues.

When Jackie Chan scored a goal, Stevens on the sidelines was the most excited, punching and roaring wantonly on the sidelines.

"Nice job~~~Bruce!!"

He was the most stressed out about Holtby over the weekend.

Out of the authority of the head coach, he has to do something, but if the team's record drops seriously because of the banning of Holtby, maybe he will also be dismissed from get out of class.

So Stevens is the one who most hopes that the team will get out of the predicament as soon as possible. Now every game is very important.

After Jackie Lee scored the goal, the next game was easier to play, and Olympiacos could no longer blindly defend.

So in the 78th minute, Schalke 04 hit the frontcourt with a quick counterattack. Li Chenglong passed the opponent's full-back Hollebas on the right and then made a cross.

The opponent's goalkeeper Mayeri chose to attack to defuse the pass, but under the interference of Huntelaar, although he hit the ball with his hand, he failed to hit the ball out of the penalty area. The ball fell to the left side of the penalty area. The full-back Fox on the left gets the ball and shoots at the near corner. The ball rolls into the opponent's goal for the second time.

"Beautiful, Fox's goal, Schalke almost sealed the victory."

"As long as they win the game, they will be able to qualify for the group stage one round ahead of schedule, and they will be locked in first place in the group."

Fox's goal really sealed the victory, and although Olympiacos had a counterattack, Schalke 04 did not give them a chance, and the score of 2:0 was kept to the end.
