Chapter 223: Gerald's Invitation

On September 1st, the fourth round of the Bundesliga, the former Liverpool star Hyypia brought Leverkusen to Schalke.

The game has received a lot of attention, especially on the Asian side.

This is not only a civil war between the Bundesliga powerhouses, but also important Asian players participating.

The Schalke team has Atsuto Uchida, the No. 1 right back in Asia, and the Leverkusen team has Sun Xingmin, a Korean super genius, and Lee Chenglong, a Chinese star. In addition, Schalke has been rumored to introduce Chinese players recently. All these make this game has received great attention in East Asia.

Li Chenglong, Sun Xingmin and Uchida Atsuto all started the game, which can be regarded as satisfying the wishes of the fans.

But Leverkusen just returned from a UEFA Champions League qualifier in Scotland in the middle of the week. The state is not very good. The performance of the whole team is average, and the Korean genius Sun Xingmin is also a little lost.

On Schalke's side, Jackie Lee is working very hard.

In just 5 minutes of the opening, Lee received a pass from Neustadter in the penalty area, turned around and shot the center post vigorously, refreshing Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno.

In the 11th minute, Li Chenglong almost went straight to the dead corner with a free kick, but this time Leno performed bravely and flew to save this threatening free kick.

In the 18th minute, Uchida Atsuto made a cross from the side, and when Lee Chenglong moved to pull away the opponent's defender, Kevin Boateng's push in front of the goal missed the post again.

Schalke completely took the initiative at home, but it was just a little bit of luck in the goal.

In the 42nd minute, with a corner kick opportunity, although Leverkusen won the first place to push the ball out, Kanter from the outside took a long shot and finally broke through Leverkusen's gate.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Leverkusen finally regained some form. Sun Xingmin cooperated with Kisling to create some threats, but at this time Navas stepped forward.

Relying on the outstanding performance in the recent training, Navas finally got the chance to start this game, which is also the first chance to play a game. Of course, he wants to take the opportunity to show himself well.

As a result, the few threats Leverkusen made were all accepted by Navas with ease.

In the 74th minute, Schalke relied on a quick counterattack opportunity. Gretzka was brought down by Leno in the penalty area, allowing Schalke to win a penalty.

Huntelaar was injured, of course it was Jackie Chan who took the penalty, easily tricked the goalkeeper and hit the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

In this way, Schalke won Leverkusen 2:0 at home, won this victory with their direct competitors, and also gave the opponent their first defeat of the season, and Navas also lost in his first game. Received zero seals.

"The Bundesliga has only played 4 rounds, and Bruce Lee has scored 6 goals. There is no doubt that he ranks first in the current Bundesliga scorer list."

"Lee said earlier that he planned to compete for the European Golden Boot if he had the chance. At that time, many people thought it was a joke."

"But now, I believe that many people have begun to face up to this matter. As long as Li can continue to maintain this scoring efficiency, I believe he can really compete with those La Liga strikers for the European Golden Boot."

Jackie Chan scored 6 goals in 4 rounds, but 2 of them were penalties.

If you want to compete for the European Golden Boot, you must not only have a high attendance rate and a high goal rate, but you must also not let penalties.

This is probably the only benefit that Huntelaar was injured early on for Schalke, giving Lee Chenglong a better chance to score goals.

In this round of the Bundesliga, in addition to Schalke beating Leverkusen 2:0 in a direct match, Dortmund also won Frankfurt 2:1 away, but Bayern was actually tied 1:1 away by Freiburg.

In this case, the Hornets have climbed to the top of the list with four consecutive victories, and they are the only team that has maintained a complete victory this season.

Bayern ranked second with 3 wins and 1 tie, followed by Schalke and Leverkusen with 3 wins and 1 loss.

After the 4th round of the Bundesliga,

Next is the national team match day.

Li Chenglong received a call from Hodgson early on, asking him to go back to participate in the national team competition, and also guaranteed that he would be arranged to start the game.

England's situation in World Cup qualifiers is not bad at the moment, but it's not really great either.

England played 6 rounds of World Cup qualifiers, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 12 points, temporarily ranking second in the group.

Montenegro ranks first in the group. They currently have 14 points, but they have played one more round.

Although it is said that even if they only get second in the group in the World Cup qualifiers, they can still participate in the play-offs, but England is not stable even in the second place in the group. It is currently only one point ahead of third-placed Ukraine. May drop to third place.

And because the Premier League had just held a double red meeting over the weekend, many players missed this national team game due to injuries, Manchester United's Phil Jones and Rooney, Liverpool's Sturridge and Glenn Johnson.

There are important players absent, and this time there is a very important game on the national team match day. England will go away to challenge its direct competitor Ukraine, so Hodgson has to pin his hopes on Lee Chenglong, who has been in a hot state recently.

On September 6th, Wembley Stadium, England played against Moldova at home.

Moldova's strength is weak, and this can also be regarded as a warm-up match for England. Everyone can play casually and just look for their status.

Hodgson played a 4231 formation, allowing Jackie Lee to play as a single striker at the forefront.

Before the start of the game, there were many signs supporting Jackie Lee in Wembley Stadium.

"Give the ball to Bruce, we want to see Super Bruce score!!!" That's the biggest piece of it.

Although he did not play in the Premier League, Lee Jackie Chan's popularity in England is still rising.

Moldova is really weak. After the game started, they had no resistance at Wembley Stadium.

Only 12 minutes into the game, Gerrard scored from a distance.

In the 26th minute, Li Chenglong received a through ball from Wilshere, first passed the opponent's defender in the penalty area, then passed the opponent's goalkeeper, and directly pushed the empty goal.

The goal instantly detonated Wembley Stadium, and the fans in the audience were chanting Super Blues.

English players have rough feet and a lot of violent long-range shots, but it is relatively rare for this kind of continuous dribble in a small area to directly pass the goalkeeper.

Welbeck then scored twice, and Lee scored another before the whistle.

England beat Moldova 5-0 at home without any difficulties at all. Joe Hart was almost catching a cold standing in front of the goal. He didn't make any saves throughout the game because the opponent didn't even have a single shot on target. .

While England won by five goals at home, Ukraine also beat San Marino 9:0 at home, but Montenegro was tied by Poland 1:1 in the away game, and Lewandowski scored a goal.

In this case, in the standings, both England and Montenegro have 15 points. England ranks first with a goal difference advantage, and Ukraine is also chasing closely behind with 14 points.

So a few days later, England went away to Ukraine, and that game will be the real top game.

At the end of the game, Gerrard, who is currently the captain of the England national team, suddenly said that he would give Lee Chenglong a ride by the way.

It is true that Li Chenglong did not drive today, so he got into his car.

"Bruce, you did a great job tonight."

"This is the credit of the whole team. In fact, the main reason is that the opponent's strength is too weak."

Originally, the two were chatting normally, but Gerald suddenly brought up a big topic.

"Are you interested in coming to Liverpool to play?"

"Liverpool?"

"Yes, you will definitely want to play in the Premier League in the future, Liverpool is a good choice."

"And this is not a rash invitation from me personally, but a sincere invitation from the whole team."

Jackie Lee didn't expect that Gerrard suddenly invited him to join Liverpool.

And the last sentence should mean that the owner of Liverpool asked him to come and speak, and let him know in advance.
