Schalke 04 faced Bayern on three fronts last season, and the two teams fought each other five times.

Although Schalke lost to Bayern in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, and only won the German Cup, but if you look at the results of the five games alone, Schalke's results are 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses , not too bad.

Unexpectedly, this season has just begun, and Schalke will encounter Bayern many times again.

In the German Super Cup, Schalke first won a game against Bayern.

Now the two teams meet again in the second round of the German Cup, and then there will definitely be two more matches in the Bundesliga.

In other words, this season, Schalke will play against Bayern at least four times.

If this continues, maybe Schalke will replace Dortmund and become Bayern's biggest enemy.

While Li Chenglong is preparing for the new season with the team, the UEFA Champions League qualifying matches for this season are also going on one after another.

Jackie Chan's old club Dundee United successfully eliminated the Greek team Thessaloniki in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round and entered the UEFA Champions League play-offs.

But in the draw for the play-offs, Dundee United was unlucky and drew teams from the five major leagues.

Last season's fourth place in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen.

Now Dundee United's chances of qualifying for the Champions League may be on the line again.

Now that Dundee United has encountered a Bundesliga team, there is still a certain topicality.

After all, Jackie Lee came out of Dundee United. After joining the Bundesliga, he started to soar and became the top star in Europe.

Jackie Lee has also talked to his old teammates on the phone, and when they come to Germany for the away game, he will go to Leverkusen to visit them.

Anyway, Leverkusen is also in North Rhine-Westphalia, very close.

The Bundesliga is about to start, and Jackie Chan was invited to have a meal with team chairman Tenis.

Li Chenglong originally thought that this was to appease him as the core of the team before the start of the new season, and hoped that he could continue to lead the team to achieve good results.

Unexpectedly, at the dinner, Tennis suddenly brought up another topic.

"Bruce, the team is currently planning to introduce a Chinese player."

"Chinese players?" Li Chenglong really didn't expect that Tenis would suddenly talk about such a topic.

"Yes, Chinese players." Tenis took a sip of red wine and continued: "You know, we have introduced Chinese players before, which is very helpful for the team to explore the Chinese market."

"Our performance last season was very good, and many fans in Asia watched our games. Uchida is also a very famous Asian star now, but I think we still need a Chinese player to help us attract the attention of Chinese fans."

Schalke's performance last season was good, and naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially with Lee Chenglong as a Chinese in the team and Uchida Atsuto as an Asian star, they did attract the attention of many Asian fans.

As the team's main right back last season, Uchida reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with the team. Now he can be said to be the number one right back in Asia. Plus he has a handsome face. Shinji Kagawa has become the most famous Asian star.

"Uh..." But Li Chenglong still didn't understand, so he continued to ask: "Mr. Chairman, what do you mean by telling me?"

"I just want to inform you in advance. I hope you have a mental preparation. How we play or how we play will definitely not affect the team's results."

"Then do you have a suitable introduction target?"

"At the end of last season, we asked a related brokerage company to help us with the investigation, but the introduction of Chinese players, you know, the procedure will be very troublesome, it will not be done in a short time, and it may not be successful. ..."

In order to attract Chinese fans, the team intends to introduce Chinese players, but Li Chenglong has no objection.

Anyway, no matter who you bring in, it won't threaten your core position.

Soon, the Schalke club released the news that they planned to introduce Chinese players.

It immediately attracted the attention of Chinese journalists, and many Chinese journalists came to Gelsenkirchen "attracted by the name".

Anyway, regardless of whether it will be successful in the end, Schalke Club's initial goal of attracting attention has been achieved.

On August 9th, the 2013/14 Bundesliga season officially started. The opening game was defending champion Bayern against Borussia at home.

This time Guardiola's Bundesliga debut was finally not messed up. Bayern won Borussia 3:1 at home and did not encounter any difficulties.

Immediately after the next day, other teams in the Bundesliga also played one after another.

Leverkusen won Freiburg 3:1 at home, and Dortmund beat Augsburg 4:0 away.

At present, the German media predicted that in the new season, the teams that may have the opportunity to wrestle with Bayern have basically won.

However, last season's big black polo team Frankfurt, they actually lost 1:6 to the newly promoted Hertha Berlin in the first round of the away game. This can be regarded as the first big upset of the new season.

It is worth mentioning that there are only two newly promoted teams in the Bundesliga this season, namely Hertha Berlin and Brunswick, the champions and runners-up of the Bundesliga last season.

As for Kaiserslautern, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season, they suffered double kills and missed promotion in the relegation play-offs with Hoffenheim, the penultimate Bundesliga.

This can be regarded as a normal result. The Bundesliga team faces the Bundesliga team, and in most cases the Bundesliga team wins.

In the first round of the Bundesliga, Schalke's game was arranged at the end, that is, it was responsible for the tail.

On August 11th, at 5:30 pm local time in Germany, Schalke's first Bundesliga game of the new season will officially start at home.

It was 11:30 p.m. China time, and Yang Ma's commentator was talking loudly.

"Since Gao Junmin returned to the Chinese Super League, there have been no Chinese players in the five major leagues, but recently I heard that Schalke 04 plans to introduce players from the Chinese Super League, and we may see Chinese players in the five major leagues soon. .”

"Schalke 04 was the champion of the German Cup last season, the runner-up of the Bundesliga, and the semi-finals of the Champions League. If we can join such a team, I believe our players can get a good training."

At home, Schalke 04's opponent was the former North King Hamburger.

In the summer, Hamburg sold Sun Xingmin, the star of hope in the team, to the pharmaceutical company Leverkusen, and then introduced the Turkish genius Calhanoglu from the German team Karlsruhe. , The strength of the Hamburg team should be damaged a lot, so it should not be a big problem for Schalke to win a good start at home.

Before the start of the game, Jackie Lee was comforting Gretzka.

"Hey, kid, don't be nervous, if you don't know how to kick later, just pass the ball to me."

Clemens, who had previously started in the Super Cup, performed mediocre. In this game, Stevens tried to start Gretzka because he performed well in the first round of the German Cup.

But the other party's first start in the Bundesliga seems to be a little nervous, so Li Chenglong said half-jokingly.
