After the Bundesliga weekend, Schalke's three most important weeks of the season are approaching.

In the next three weeks, Schalke 04 will need consecutive double matches, and they are all very critical, especially the midweek matches.

In the middle of next week, it will be the German Cup semi-final match day.

In the middle of next week, it will be the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

In the middle of next week, it will be the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

At present, Schalke 04 has basically secured the Champions League qualification for the top four in the league, but they have also missed the championship. If Schalke still wants to hit the championship this season, only the German Cup and the Champions League are left.

So Stevens has already made arrangements in advance. The next two weekend league games are not the team's key games, but the midweek games are.

For this reason, Stevens also specially talked with Li Chenglong for a while.

Because Jackie Chan is currently competing for the Bundesliga Golden Boot with Lewandowski and Kisling, if he does not play in the two league games, it is likely that he will be able to win the Golden Boot for most of the season.

Li Chenglong can understand that everything is based on the overall situation.

Of course, the most important thing is that at present, Jackie Chan and Lewandowski occupy the top scorer list together, but both of them have to prepare for the semi-finals of the Champions League and will focus on the Champions League, so no one can take advantage of the other.

The only concern is whether Kisling, who is three goals behind, will take advantage of it.

In fact, some German media have already estimated that although Kisling is currently three goals behind, Lee Chenglong and Lewandowski will both be distracted in the Champions League. Maybe Kisling will eventually counterattack and snatch the league golden boot.

For Li Chenglong personally, he is currently not only competing for the Bundesliga Golden Boot, but also competing for the Champions League Golden Boot.

In the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, Jackie Lee scored three goals, Ronaldo also scored three goals, and Messi scored one goal.

Therefore, in the current Champions League scorer list, Ronaldo occupies the top spot with 11 goals, followed by Lee Jackie with 9 goals, followed by Messi and Yilmaz, both of whom scored 8 goals.

Since both Messi and Yilmaz have been eliminated, in general, this season's Champions League Golden Boot should be more about the competition between Lee Jackie and Ronaldo.

Of course, others still have a chance. At present, Lewandowski has scored the most goals in Dortmund with 6 goals, and Thomas Muller has scored the most goals in Bayern with 5 goals.

In principle, these two people still have a chance to counterattack.

On April 17th, the match day of the German Cup semi-final, the Schalke 04 team came to Stuttgart in southwest Germany, and will compete with their opponents for the last place in the German Cup final this season at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

In the game played the day before, Bayern had already entered the final ahead of schedule after beating Wolfsburg 6-1 at the Allianz Slaughterhouse.

Bayern took another step towards their goal of the treble, and it also had a certain impact on this game.

"Because Bayern has entered the German Cup final ahead of schedule, this contest between Stuttgart and Schalke is very important for both sides."

"Schalke naturally want to enter the final to compete with Bayern for the championship. After all, their results this season are very good, but they have no chance in the league at present, and the chances of the Champions League are not too big. On the contrary, the DFB Cup is their best chance. A possible target."

"As for Stuttgart, they are currently ranked 12th in the Bundesliga. It is impossible to qualify for the European competition through the league ranking, so they must beat Schalke. As long as they beat the opponent and enter the final, they will automatically win the Europa League next season. Cup qualification."

"Because Bayern has secured the qualification for the Champions League, so as long as Stuttgart enters the final, no matter whether they win or lose, they will qualify for the Europa League."

"Equally this game will draw attention from other teams, especially those teetering on the brink of European qualification."

"Schalke 04 is also almost locked in the Champions League qualification. As long as Schalke beats Stuttgart to enter the final, the Europa League qualification of the German Cup champion will be given to the seventh place in the league. This will make Borussia, Hamburg, Mainz and other teams see hope in the European war.

"

The German commentator has made the situation very clear. This game is Stuttgart's Europa League qualification battle. Whether you win the European war or lose.

In addition to competing for the championship, Schalke is also very happy to snipe the opponent, so that the opponent cannot qualify for the European war. After all, Schalke lost to the opponent in the championship in the 06/07 season. This matter is brooding.

In the case of occupying the home court advantage, Stuttgart started aggressively.

In the 9th minute of the opening, the opponent's Ivorian full-back Boca sent a very precise cross after forcing Atsuto Uchida, but Macheda, facing a half-empty goal in front of the goal, pushed the ball into the stands.

The absence of Stuttgart's core Ibisevic due to injury still has a big impact.

Although they failed to score a goal, Stuttgart did play a threat, with a lot of momentum, and it quickly received results.

In the 26th minute, the opposing Austrian striker Harnik stole the ball from Matip in the backcourt. Before Hewedes came to make up for it, he took the lead with a long shot and broke Schalke's goal.

The goal excited the home fans, who saw a chance of reaching the final.

But soon Li Chenglong poured a ladle of water on them.

In the 30th minute, Li Chenglong received a pass from Draxler in the frontcourt and made a breakthrough in the right side of the penalty area. He slumped his shoulders to the right to confuse the opponent, and then turned the ball to the left. The two central defenders of the opponent were confused, and they moved to the right at the same time to get out of the way, watching Li Chenglong break through from their side.

After this breakthrough, there was a semi-single-handed opportunity. Li Chenglong swung his right leg and pretended to hit the goal. After deceiving Stuttgart goalkeeper Ulreich, he then pushed with his left foot.

Although the opponent's full-back Hoagland rushed back to the goal desperately, he only barely kicked the ball with his toes, which could not prevent the ball from entering.

"Bruce Lee~~~ Very realistic change of direction~~~ Very beautiful breakthrough goal!!"

"Only four minutes after Stuttgart's goal, Li relied on his own ability to equalize the score."

Not only did Li Chenglong pour cold water on them, but he continued to stab them again.

In the 38th minute, Li Chenglong made an inverted triangle pass back after breaking through from the right. Kanter advanced to the penalty spot and volleyed vigorously. Schalke reversed the score.

2:1 is the final score of the first half and the final score of the whole game.

In the second half, Schalke took the initiative to slow down the pace and pay more attention to defense. Stuttgart was always in a hurry but failed to score goals, so the whole second half of the game was dull. Bastos kicked a single goal in the counterattack. A rare bright spot.

In the end, the two teams ended the game with a score of 2:1.

"Schalke 04 defeated Stuttgart 2:1 in the Mercedes-Benz Arena and reached the German Cup final again after two years."

"Since the opponent in the final has been determined to be Bayern, Schalke 04 will play against Bayern in the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup this season."

"In the league, Schalke was at a disadvantage with a home draw and an away loss. Bayern also successfully won the league championship. Schalke can be said to have lost to Bayern."

"In the Champions League, the confrontation between Schalke and Bayern has not yet begun, and it is hard to predict who will win."

"There is still some time left for the final of the German Cup. I don't know who will have the last laugh."

"But anyway, fans can see Bayern and Schalke play five games on three fronts this season, which is quite rare. Condition."
