On September 14, in the fifth round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went away to challenge Mainz.

This season, Mainz played well under the leadership of Tuchel. They won three games in the first four rounds, and their current record is the same as that of Schalke and Leverkusen.

Since Schalke's performance since last year has been outstanding, many players in the team have been selected for their respective national teams.

For example, on this national team match day, Kanter was selected for the French national team for the first time.

Now affected by the national team's competition, Schalke is a little out of shape, and the Opel Arena in Mainz is not playing well.

However, in many cases, if the game is not played well, it does not necessarily mean that the game will be lost.

Relying on Jackie Chan's wide cross in the second half, Kevin Boateng seized the opportunity to complete a header in the penalty area. He not only reaped his first goal to join the team, but also helped Schalke to save money in the away game Got three points.

"Learning to win ugly in a bad state is the performance of a mature team. Those teams that can only win when they are in a good state are often very fragile." Later, Jackie Chan used such a false truth to defend his team.

In any case, Schalke still got the three points they wanted in the away game.

In other Bundesliga games this round, Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen all won respectively, and the top four in the standings have not changed at all.

After the Bundesliga, the next week is the Champions League match day. Schalke will go to Italy to challenge last season's Serie A runner-up Naples.

Since Jackie Chan will miss the first Champions League group match, the German media are generally not optimistic about Schalke's away win.

Although he was unable to play the game, on September 17th, Li Chenglong went to the away game in Italy with the team to cheer for his teammates.

But at the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Schalke still lost the game.

Tactician Benitez, as the head coach of the Champions League champion, is still good at playing this kind of game. Naples did not give Schalke too many opportunities at home. If it were not for the last moment of the game, Schalke relied on the opponent to win. After the decision was made, he stole a ball carelessly, and the game was simply an away defeat.

Schalke lost 1:2 to Naples in the away game. The first game of this season's Champions League suffered a black start. This is not a good sign.

But even though they lost, the goal stolen at the last moment is still very important.

In this group of death, each team may become a competitor to qualify for the final group stage, and at that time it is necessary to compare the relationship between each other.

To compare the relationship between victory and defeat, a 0:2 loss in an away game and a 1:2 loss are completely two concepts.

In another game in the same group, Arsenal beat Marseille 2-1 away.

In the current group of death, Arsenal and Naples have taken the lead.

After losing the away game, his teammates were in a bad mood, and Li Chenglong became the focus of interviews by German reporters.

"Bruce, you lost the first game of the Champions League. Are you worried that the team won't qualify for the group stage?"

"Actually, I'm not worried. There are six rounds in the UEFA Champions League group stage. We only lost one round, and then I will return to the team. I believe Schalke will be able to get out of this group."

"Then what are your goals for the Champions League this season?"

"The initial goal is to qualify for the group stage. The ultimate goal is to go further than last year."

"Does that mean we're going to the Champions League final?"

"Of course, we reached the semi-finals last year, and of course we will strive to reach the finals this year."

"But in fact, since the reform of the Champions League, there has never been a team that lost the first game that could reach the final of the Champions League."

"Records, of course, are used to break..."

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the results of the four Bundesliga teams were two wins and two losses. Except for Schalke's loss,

Leverkusen also lost 2:4 away to Manchester United.

In addition, Bayern defeated CSKA Moscow 3:0 at home, and Dortmund defeated Steaua Bucharest 3:0 at home. They are naturally the two teams that won the Bundesliga.

And the individual performance of the players in the first round of the group stage, it was Ronaldo and Messi who stole the limelight.

Real Madrid beat Galatasaray 6:1 away, and Ronaldo scored a hat-trick.

Barcelona beat Ajax 4-0 at home, and Messi also completed a hat-trick.

It is a bit embarrassing that Lee Chenglong, who is known as the third player in active service, has been suspended for both the double prides of Melo.

But at this time, some people were not convinced by Li Chenglong.

After Paris Saint-Germain beat Olympiakos 4:1 away, Ibrahimovic started to fire at Jackie Chan.

"I don't know how your so-called third man in football came about? That guy was just lucky enough to eliminate Barcelona once, and he was blown up as the third man in football. It's simply inexplicable."

The conflict between Ibrahimovic and Jackie Lee is ultimately a battle of fame.

Last season was Ibrahimovic's first season in Ligue 1. He became the Ligue 1 Golden Boot with 30 goals and broke many records.

But Jackie Lee suddenly appeared and stole his limelight. Not only did he become the youngest Golden Boot in the Bundesliga, he also led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and he was also the silver boot in the Champions League.

Recently, the European media has been discussing the issue of the best team of the year. Most of the media think that this year's best team of the year, apart from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the last spot should be between Lee Chenglong and Zlatan Ibrahimovic selected.

Last season, Jackie Lee scored more goals than Ibrahimovic, and performed better than Ibrahimovic in the Champions League, but he was not as good as Ibrahimovic in the championship honor. After all, the opponent led the team to win the Ligue 1 championship.

In the end, which of the two is more worthy of entering the best team of the year, there are different opinions for a while.

Now Li Chenglong was drawn into a death group in the Champions League, and lost the first game, it seems that he might not be able to appear in the group.

So Ibrahimovic started to provoke Li Chenglong, and made a name for himself by the way, so as to compete for the best team of the year.

Of course, Li Chenglong couldn't pretend not to know, otherwise he would appear too cowardly, as if he was really inferior to him.

"I don't know what the Swede is trying to convey."

"Last season I scored a total of 41 goals, and no one in Europe has more than me except Ronaldo Messi."

"I have scored 10 goals in the Champions League, and only Ronaldo has more goals than me."

"Helping the team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League is second only to Bayern Dortmund."

Li Chenglong just listed his own data, which is enough.

Except for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi last season, no one has more beautiful statistics than Jackie Lee.
