After completing the seven-game winning streak in the Bundesliga, Schalke will then go all out to prepare for the next round of the league.

In the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went to an away game against Bayern Munich.

Since Schalke is 5 points behind Bayern, this is not a top battle, but it can be regarded as a life-and-death battle for the championship, for Schalke.

The German media has been hyping the game in recent days.

If Schalke loses to Bayern in the away game, then everything will be over. Watching the opponent complete the Bundesliga's 15-game winning streak, and at the same time the point gap is widened to 8 points. It may be difficult for Schalke to compete with Bayern for the championship.

If Schalke draws with Bayern in the away game, that's not too bad, ending the opponent's winning streak, while continuing to hang Bayern, and then we'll see if they make mistakes.

If Schalke can beat Bayern in an away game, it will not only be able to kill Bayern three times in the season, complete the Bundesliga's eighth consecutive victory, but also chase the points gap to 2 points, within one game.

If this is the case, then the competition for the Bundesliga title this season is about to enter a fierce stage.

※※※

In the early morning of March 1, the entire Schalke team came to Munich to prepare for the league tonight.

In the past two seasons, Schalke and Bayern have played more times, and the two sides have won and lost each other. Now the two teams really have some hatred.

As soon as Schalke's bus appeared in Munich, it was immediately surrounded by Bayern fans.

The fans surrounded the bus and made all kinds of disturbances, which are common between teams' games. It doesn't scare people at all, but it's quite funny.

For example, a fat man ran to the front of the bus and took off his pants, revealing his bare buttocks to face Schalke's bus, causing everyone on the bus to laugh.

But Bayern fans will feel that this will allow the Schalke team to shoot their heads tonight, just like dropping their heads.

At 6:30 p.m. local time in Germany, the focus battle officially began.

"At present, Bayern has completed 14 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga, and Schalke has also completed 7 consecutive victories. This is a collision between 14 consecutive victories and 7 consecutive victories. I don't know whose winning streak will be eliminated tonight. Termination, or both parties will be terminated."

"Bayern is a team with 14 consecutive victories, and they are playing at home, so they should be the more dominant side."

"But on the other hand, Bayern has only lost three games so far this season. Except for the careless loss to Manchester City in the Champions League, Bayern lost to Schalke in the other two losses. "

"Looking at it this way, Schalke can also be called Bayern's nemesis, and Bayern can never be said to be a sure win."

The commentator said the same thing, and the two teams also set up their positions on the court.

Schalke still has a 442 formation, but there are some minor adjustments.

Greek defender Papadopoulos got the chance to start and replaced Santana's position. The Brazilian did not perform very well in the last few starts.

And Draxler returned from injury to replace Neustadter in the starting lineup.

Other than that, the rest of the positions are basically unchanged.

Bayern has a 4141 formation. They have Ribery and Thomas Muller absent due to injuries, and Lahm and Jr. Boateng. In this game, Rafinha will play right back and Harvey Martin Ness goes to play centre-back.

When the game started,

Schalke took the initiative to launch an offensive.

Stevens arranged Draxler, Kevin Boateng, Gretzka and Kanter as the starting midfielder today, just to strengthen the offensive and compete with Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

Unexpectedly, the effect is very good, and you can gain something at the beginning.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Lee Chenglong made a one-two with Draxler in front of the penalty area, and then immediately kicked up a high ball to the left side of the penalty area.

The starting Bayern right-back Rafinha may have not entered the state at the beginning of the game. He was easily thrown away by Gretzka and rushed in. He headed the ball and put the ball into the Bayern goal.

"Somewhat unexpected. The game has just started, and Schalke has made a fantastic start at the Allianz Arena. This may not have been expected by many people before the game."

It is indeed somewhat unexpected. Although Schalke has played well recently, most people think that Bayern, the hot cosmos team, will basically not have too much problem in winning Schalke.

But now it is Schalke who have made an excellent start.

Schalke's goal allowed him to take the lead, but it also inspired the state of the Bayern team, which directly opened the curtain of this goal battle.

In the 11th minute, Bayern relied on a corner kick and Mandzukic scored with a header to equalize the score.

Papadopoulos' performance is not much better than Santana's. Schalke's central defender combination still only has Hewedes and Matip as a pair of partners.

After the goal, Bayern took advantage of the momentum and continued to attack. After 4 minutes, you directly reversed the score.

Gotze sent a through pass, and Robben successfully caught the ball and volleyed the goal against offside.

"Steady, don't panic!!" Bayern's offensive was like a wave, and Stevens on the sidelines was anxious, standing on the sidelines and shouting.

Schalke stabilized a little bit by Stevens' shouting, but in the end he still couldn't stand it.

In the 39th minute, Alaba sent a precise cross after passing Uchida. Mandzukic's header was saved by Navas, but Robben followed up with a supplementary shot, and Navas was powerless.

In this way, Schalke made a fantastic start, but conceded three goals in a row in the first half and returned to the locker room with a score of 1:3.

"This is not a warm-up match, why are you being so polite, be tough on them, we must not just admit defeat like this!!" Stevens turned on the hair dryer mode during the intermission.

After Bayern's momentum picked up in the first half, Schalke did play badly, especially in defense, and was basically in a state of being blown up.

So at the beginning of the second half, Schalke stepped up the pressing and increased physical confrontation. This is indeed effective for Bayern, who currently focuses on technical control of the ball.

In the 52nd minute, Li Chenglong snatched the ball from Goetze and made a through pass. Huntelaar put his right foot in the back row and shot well, but was bravely saved by Neuer.

In the 56th minute, after passing Schweinsteiger in the front court, Li Chenglong made a powerful low shot from the penalty area line, but the ball hit the post.

Schalke continued to exert force after strengthening the press in the second half, basically suppressing Bayern.

Football games are like this, round-based, you come and I attack each other, and now it's Schalke's turn to play hard.

In the 63rd minute, Atsuto Uchida sent a cross. Lee Chenglong got a point on Dante's head, but he didn't attack the goal directly. , Neuer, who had been attracted by Lee Jackie long ago, was powerless at all.

Immediately after the 67th minute, Li Chenglong broke through Thiago in front of the penalty area, and when he was intercepted by Harvey Martinez, he chose to quickly pass back from the bottom.

Rafinha stretched out his foot near the penalty spot and blocked the ball directly into his own goal.

"Own goal~~~ Rafinha's own goal!!!"

"Schalke equalized, they scored twice in the space of four minutes and they equalized straight away."

"I knew this game would not end like this, Schalke will definitely not just admit defeat like this!"

Li Chenglong scored consecutively within 4 minutes, an own goal and an assist, and finally helped Schalke equalize the score.

In fact, the blitz goal in the opening game was also an assist by Li Chenglong. He has actually made three goals.

Schalke's momentum of consecutive goals soared, and this time it was Guardiola's turn to shout anxiously from the sidelines.

Guardiola's call helped Bayern stabilize the situation, and both sides lived in peace for the next ten minutes.

Seeing that the time was about to enter 80 minutes, Stevens began to make substitutions, and Fox came on to replace Gretzka.

Gretzka came to the Allianz Arena for the first time, and he seemed to be a bit reluctant to let go. Except for the mistake in the opening game due to Rafinilla's mistake, he has not performed much since then.

So Stevens replaced him and let Fox play to strengthen the defense, preparing to keep the 3:3 score.

With the current stability of the two sides, it is difficult for Schalke to have a chance to kill Bayern. On the contrary, Bayern has a greater chance of killing Schalke, so it is better to consider actually getting a point.

Although a draw will end Schalke's winning streak, Bayern's winning streak will also be ended.

It is also a broken winning streak, and the end of the 14-game winning streak must have a greater impact than the seven-game winning streak, so Schalke is acceptable.

And after this round of the game, Bayern will play against Wolfsburg and Leverkusen consecutively, neither of which is a big opponent that can be easily won.

Now that the opponent's winning streak has ended, if Bayern does not adjust properly, they may make mistakes and lose points on those two teams, and then Schalke will have a chance.
