Chapter 165 The Rise of the Bundesliga?

In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 drew 1:1 away from Montpellier, while Bayern and Dortmund also won at home.

In this case, the three teams participating in the Champions League in the Bundesliga this season have all successfully qualified as the first in the group.

Following the first record of three Bundesliga teams qualifying for a round ahead of schedule, the record for three Bundesliga teams qualifying first in a group at the same time was also broken.

It is worth mentioning that among the three Bundesliga teams this season, Bayern is the worst in the Champions League group stage.

Both Dortmund and Schalke have an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws, but Bayern's score is 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They are the only Bundesliga team that lost in the Champions League group stage this season.

The Champions League group stage is over, and the top sixteen of the Champions League are all out.

From the perspective of league division, the four teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, and Valencia in La Liga have all advanced, which is the league with the most places in the knockout round.

In addition to La Liga, the three Bundesliga teams have advanced the second most.

Both the Premier League and Serie A have only advanced two teams, namely Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, and AC Milan.

As the defending champion Chelsea, although they beat North Sealand 6:1 at home in the last round, Juventus defeated Shakhtar Donetsk away, which made Chelsea's big victory meaningless.

The first defending champion in the history of the Champions League who could not qualify for the group stage was born.

As for Manchester City, the "favourites to win the championship", they have already been eliminated at the bottom of the group and went back to prepare for the Premier League ahead of schedule.

Manchester City has failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage for two consecutive years, and the money of the oil tycoons is still not enough.

In addition to the four major leagues, the others are leagues where only one team advances, including Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Porto in Portugal, Galatasaray in Turkey, Shakhtar Donetsk in Uzbekistan, The Celtics of the Soviet Super League.

From the perspective of the Champions League, only La Liga has performed better than the Bundesliga this season, but in terms of the Champions League and the Europa League, the Bundesliga has performed the best.

In addition to the three teams of Bayern, Dortmund and Schalke who have advanced to the Champions League knockout round, the four Bundesliga teams participating in the Europa League group stage this season, Borussia Borussia, Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and Hannover 96, have also entered the Europa League knockout round. .

In other words, all seven Bundesliga teams have made it to the European knockout rounds this season.

This again created Bundesliga history.

It is relatively rare for all seven teams to enter the European knockout rounds, even in other leagues.

The Premier League has done it for two consecutive years in the 06/07 and 07/08 seasons, and La Liga has done it in the 09/10 season.

Now it's the Bundesliga's turn.

This time, the German media can justifiably shout the slogan of the rise of the Bundesliga.

The performance of the Premier League in Europe this season is not good. If the Bundesliga teams can collectively exert their strength in the European knockout rounds, then in terms of European points, the Bundesliga may overtake the Premier League and become the second highest league in European points.

In 2011, the Bundesliga succeeded in surpassing Serie A and was promoted to the third league in the European War.

If two years later, they can overtake the Premier League and become the second league in the European War, it will definitely be at the speed of a rocket.

In the last round of the Champions League, Ronaldo and the Turk Yilmaz both scored another goal, so the number of goals for both of them came to 6.

On the current UEFA Champions League scorer list, Ronaldo and Yilmaz are tied for the top spot, Lee Jackie and Messi, Huntelaar, Osorio, Oscar and other players are tied for 5 goals, but Oscar and Osorio Both teams have been eliminated.

At present, it is only the end of the group stage, and the competition for the Champions League Golden Boot is still hard to say. It mainly depends on who goes further in the knockout round.

The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the major sports media in Europe have also begun to summarize the group stage.

Although the results selected by different media are not completely consistent, they are basically the same.

In the summary evaluation of various media,

Li Chenglong has been highly praised.

For example, in the summary of the well-known French newspaper L'Equipe in Europe, Jackie Chan beat Royce and Oscar and was selected as the best rookie in the UEFA Champions League this season.

In the selection of the best player in the Champions League group stage, Li Chenglong even scored higher than Ronaldo and Messi, but lost to Yilmaz, who scored 6 goals to help Galatasaray advance to the knockout round.

Yilmaz's election is related to his goal ratio. Galatasaray only scored 7 goals in the group stage, and Yilmaz scored 6 goals alone. It really seems exaggerated.

Schalke 04 scored 14 goals in six group matches, while Lee Cheng-long and Huntelaar each scored 5. This ratio seems to be quite different.

In the selection of the best team in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Li Chenglong was successfully selected and was ranked in the position of right midfielder. In the Schalke 04 team, captain Höwedes was also successfully selected in the position of central defender.

The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, but the draw for the knockout round will have to wait until December 19th, so we have to wait.

After returning to Germany, Jackie Lee got the exact news from his agent Barnett that he has been successfully elected as the European Golden Boy Award this season.

People from Italy's "Turin Sports News" will present the trophy to Lee Chenglong before that game in the 17th round of the Bundesliga, which is the last league game before the winter break.

That game was Schalke 04's home court, and it was just right to award the trophy, which was jointly decided by Barnett and the opponent after communicating.

However, there is still more than a week before the 17th round of the league, and the team has to prepare for the 16th round of the league first.

On December 8th, in the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went to an away game against Stuttgart.

The relationship between Schalke 04 and Stuttgart is not friendly, mainly because of the championship in the 06/07 season. In that season, Schalke 04 once led Stuttgart by 7 points with only 8 rounds left, but it collapsed inexplicably. , Stuttgart came to an eight-game winning streak and snatched the championship.

The Schalke 04 team has the two most chances to win the league championship in history, one is the "four-minute championship" in the 00/01 season, and the other is the championship with Stuttgart in the 06/07 season.

It is worth mentioning that Schalke fans made a terrifying noise of 129 decibels at the Schalke Stadium, which was made in the 26th round of the Bundesliga in the 2006/07 season, when Schalke 04 played against Stuttgart at home.

It's a pity that although Schalke 04 won that game, they failed to persist until the end to win the final championship.

At the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Stuttgart, Ibisevic, who was once a super Ibi, broke the gate of Schalke 04 in just 2 minutes.

After Ibisevic's serious injury that year, he never recovered to the peak state of Super Ibi, but he can still earn a living in the Bundesliga for a long time.

Schalke 04's state is not very good recently. It is not surprising that everyone concedes a goal in the opening game. As long as the game is played step by step, Schalke 04 is fully capable of reversing the game.

Sure enough, in the 11th minute, Li Chenglong instigated the offensive after consecutive breakthroughs on the right, and finally the Romanian Macari helped the team equalize the score.

But in the 32nd minute, the American Jermaine Jones, who was the starting midfielder, didn't know which muscle was wrong, and inexplicably threw a shovel at the opposing defender Gotoku Sakai.

He did shovel Gotoku Sakai off the field, but he was also sent off by a red card. Schalke 04 could only face the situation of one less player to fight.

So in the second half of the game, Ibisevic seized the opportunity to score two more goals and directly completed a hat-trick.

All the fans were shouting Super Ibi, as if the omnipotent Super Ibi in Hoffenheim had really returned.

In this way, Schalke 04 lost 1:3 to Stuttgart in the away game and suffered three wins in all competitions.

In the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 lost 1:3 away to Stuttgart and directly sent Bayern to become the half-time champion.

In other games later, Dortmund lost 2:3 to Wolfsburg at home, and Leverkusen was also defeated by Hannover 96 2:3 away.

Fortunately, the pharmaceutical company did not win the game "to save face", otherwise Schalke 04 would be driven to the third place.

But both Bayern and Frankfurt won the game smoothly.

So in the standings, Bayern's points came to 41 points, Schalke's 32 points, Leverkusen's 30 points, Dortmund and Frankfurt both had 27 points.

Now it is 9 points behind Bayern directly. You really don't have to think about the league championship. Let's prepare for the Champions League with peace of mind.
