Winning the first game of the second half of the schedule is not very easy, and Hub Stevens is also considering countermeasures.

But soon, the game came one after another.

On January 26, in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 came to Augsburg, a small city near Munich, and will challenge the Augsburg team here.

Augsburg is a standard relegation team, currently ranked 17th in the Bundesliga, a very dangerous position.

This time against Schalke 04 at home, Augsburg played very pragmatically at home.

Basically, the whole field was defended with a bus, constantly pressing and intercepting and blocking the penalty area. The Schalke 04 team blasted 22 shots, but they still failed. In the end, they only got a dull draw in the away game.

Schalke 04 was tied, but Bayern easily won Stuttgart 2-0 in the away game. Now the points gap between Nan Da Wang and Schalke 04 has been widened to 9 points.

Now Schalke 04 really don't have to think about the championship. They can keep the top four with peace of mind, and at the same time work hard in the Champions League to achieve a good result.

In the other games of this round, Dortmund and Frankfurt both won the game. Fortunately, Leverkusen was also tied by Freiburg in the away game, and failed to threaten Schalke 04's second place.

After the away game was tied, seeing that the chances of competing with Bayern for the championship were slim, Stevens also began to accept Barnett's suggestion to arrange more tactics for Lee Chenglong and let him compete for the Bundesliga Golden Boot.

Since the establishment of the Bundesliga, only three Schalke 04 players have won the league Golden Boot. If there is one more player, that would be a good thing.

And the last Schalke player to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot was Huntelaar last season. He won the Bundesliga Golden Boot last season with 29 goals.

If Jackie Lee can win the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season, it will be the first time in the history of the Schalke 04 team that a player has won the Golden Boot for two consecutive years.

So on February 2, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Fürth at home, and Lee Chenglong began to become the team's first choice offensive terminator.

Fürth is a newly promoted team and also a relegation team, and it is the kind of ghost relegation team currently ranked at the bottom of the Bundesliga.

Facing Fürth at home, in the 28th minute, Fox made a cross from the side, and Li Chenglong followed up with a shovel shot from the middle to help the team take the lead.

In the 44th minute before the end of the first half, new aid Bastos cut in from the left and scored his first goal in joining Schalke 04. At the same time, he also helped the team expand the score advantage to two goals.

Everything went well, Schalke 04 was about to win the game, but something happened in the second half.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Felt scored a goal.

Worried about problems in the game, Stevens told the team to be careful not to make mistakes.

So then Schalke 04 played more carefully, and the score was kept at 2:1.

But in stoppage time, Fürth's Serbian striker Djurgic intercepted the ball from Jermaine Jones and fired a long-range shot in front of the penalty area.

Schalke was drawn again.

Schalke 04 was tied for two consecutive games, and they were tied by the second-to-last and last-to-last teams in the standings.

It is more difficult for the relegation team, but it is not so difficult to play, right?

After the game, the German media directly shouted the slogan "Royal Blue has completely withdrawn from the league championship competition".

This round of the match, Bayern was as stable as ever, winning Mainz 3-0 in the away game without bloodshed. At present, the points gap with Schalke 04 has been widened to 11 points.

What is the concept of 11 points? Next, Schalke 04 wants to overtake Bayern. On the premise of maintaining a complete victory, Bayern needs to lose four games.

Because Schalke 04 is currently 26 points behind Bayern in terms of goal difference, and Bayern has lost three games and tied one game. Schalke 04 will still rank second because of the goal difference disadvantage.

But so far this season, Bayern has only lost one game in the league.

Even if all competitions are added up, Bayern has only lost two games in total.

In the Champions League, they lost a Belarusian team Borisov and lost a game to Leverkusen in the league.

After two consecutive draws, Schalke 04 can be said to have completely lost the chance to compete with Bayern for the league championship, but fortunately, the second place is still there and has not been snatched away.

In this round of direct competition with Dortmund, Leverkusen lost 2:3 at home to the opponent.

Speaking of which, Schalke 04 was able to keep the second place thanks to the help of the sworn enemy Dortmund.

Frankfurt won Hamburg 2-0 in the away game.

So in the current Bundesliga standings, Bayern has 51 points and Schalke has 40 points.

Taking advantage of Schalke 04 and Leverkusen losing consecutive points, Dortmund took the opportunity to catch up. At present, the points have reached 39 points, only one point away from Schalke 04.

Next is Leverkusen with 37 points and Frankfurt with 36 points.

Judging from the current standings situation, Bayern is far ahead, and it is not a big problem to win the championship.

Schalke and Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Frankfurt compete for the remaining three Champions League qualifications.

In the last two rounds of the league, Lee Chenglong only scored one goal, but he is currently the second most goals scored among the top four players on the scorer list.

Lewandowski has scored two goals in the last two rounds of the league, while Meyer and Kisling have not scored a goal. Of course, Lee Chenglong scored a goal is the second most.

So in the current scorer list, Lee Jackie and Kisling tied for the top spot with 13 goals at the same time, followed by Lewandowski with 12 goals and Meyer with 11 goals.

The ranking of the Bundesliga's scorer list only depends on the number of goals scored. If there are as many goals as many goals, they will be tied. If two players score the same number of goals at the end of the season, they will tie for the Golden Boot.

Li Chenglong boarded the top scorer list, which naturally attracted the attention of the German media.

"Kicker" also made a special report for this - "Super Blues' Ambition".

"In this season's Bundesliga, Bayern has regained their dominance, making other teams that want to compete with them feel desperate. The newly promoted Frankfurt is the super dark horse of this season, which makes everyone shine."

"In addition to these two teams, Schalke 04 in the Ruhr area also performed very well, which attracted the attention of a large number of fans."

"Since the ninth round of the league, Schalke 04 has firmly occupied the second place in the standings and has never been taken away by other teams."

"The excellent performance of Schalke 04 is not unrelated to the excellent performance of their current core player Bruce Lee. Now the whole of Germany knows that Gelsenkirchen has a super Bruce, but many people don't know that this Super Blues is also very ambitious."

"After this round of the league, Lee has scored 13 goals in the league, tied for the top spot with Leverkusen's Kisling."

"Maybe some people haven't realized what will happen if this ranking situation is maintained until the end of the season?"

"Currently Bruce Lee is only 20 years old. If he really wins the Bundesliga Golden Boot, he will surpass Gerd Müller and Kirsten to become the youngest Golden Boot in Bundesliga history and the first 20-year-old. Year-old Golden Boot."

"At the same time, if Li wins the Golden Boot, he will also become the second midfielder in Bundesliga history to win the Bundesliga Golden Boot after Mario Basler..."

Li Chenglong only found out after reading the report of "Kicker" that he could create so many records by winning the Golden Boot.

First of all, Li Chenglong is registered in the midfield position this season. He will be counted as a midfielder. If he wins the Golden Boot, he will be the second midfielder in the history of the Bundesliga to win the Golden Boot.

There was only one time in the history of the Bundesliga that a midfielder won the Golden Boot, and that was Mario Basler who played for Werder Bremen in the 94/95 season.

Basler may not be well-known, but he was also a well-known genius in Germany back then. Unfortunately, his brain is not good. He can be said to be the white version of Balotelli and the white version of Bassin at that time.

The phrase "world-class below the neck" was first used by Beckenbauer to describe Basler. It's village class."

The Germans like to use world-class, national-level, etc. to describe the level of athletes, and it is also widely quoted in football. Even today, the German media often selects which players are world-class and which players are in each season. Is at the continental level, which is at the national level.

Basler won the Golden Boot as a midfielder back then. He is indeed talented, but he often does some inexplicable things.

Fighting with teammates, smoking, drinking and clubbing are all commonplace for Basler.

He also has some more inexplicable things, such as the finale of his favorite TV series, he is not happy, so he doesn't go to training. His girlfriend was upset, so he coaxed her at home and didn't go to training.

In short, in the eyes of strict Germans, Basler's mind is simply full of shit.

And the most brilliant performance of Basler's career should be the UEFA Champions League final in 1999, when Manchester United created a miracle at the Nou Camp.

At that time, Bayern's midfielder Effenberg was suspended, and Basler started the game. He broke Manchester United's goal with a direct free kick in the opening 6 minutes, helping Bayern take the lead, and the score was maintained until 90 minutes.

Of course, everyone knows what happened next. Bayern almost won the game, but Manchester United scored two goals in the final three minutes of stoppage time to reverse the game, making Bayern lose inexplicably.

But now Lee Jackie not only has the opportunity to become another midfielder who won the Bundesliga Golden Boot after Basler, but also has the opportunity to become the youngest Golden Boot in Bundesliga history.

In the history of the Bundesliga, the earliest young Golden Boot record is held by Gerd Müller, who won the Bundesliga Golden Boot at the age of 21.

Gerd Müller held the record for decades until Leverkusen's Kirsten broke Gerd Müller's record in 1993 when he won the Golden Boot more than Gerd Müller One month younger, so breaks Gerd Müller's record.

If Jackie Lee finally wins the Bundesliga Golden Boot, he will become the first 20-year-old Golden Boot in Bundesliga history.
