All-around center

Schalke 04 is a team located in the Ruhr industrial area of ​​Germany. They and Dortmund jointly form the famous Ruhr derby.

Because they are located in the coal mining center of Europe, they are also nicknamed "miners".

Speaking of Schalke 04, it is definitely one of the Bundesliga powerhouses.

They form the top three positions in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and Dortmund, and maintain good combat effectiveness.

But compared with the "neighbors" next door who are gradually moving towards the top European arena, showing wonderful games again and again, and tapping talented players, Schalke 04 has less to rely on.

Although it is also threatening Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga, unlike Dortmund who have won the Bundesliga championship many times with actual actions, Schalke 04 has been in a suppressed state.

Even when they come to the European arena, their performance is not as amazing as Dortmund.

Of course, the current Schalke 04 is also brilliant.

Because in the future, they will become even more bleak, especially after being relegated to the second division in the 20/21 season, they can't even see the signs of returning to the first division.

Of course, the current Schalke 04 is still the Ruhr team with strong strength.

However, this strength is also in contrast.

In the Bundesliga, facing those relatively mediocre teams, they are absolutely competitive.

But in the European arena, facing the top team Real Madrid, they are not good enough.

However, Schalke 04 still has the spirit of showing swords against Real Madrid. Even if they are playing away, they did not adopt conservative defensive tactics, but took the initiative.

In the third round of the 2013/2014 Champions League group stage, Real Madrid played against Schalke 04 at home. The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders; Srna, Pepe, Varane, Ramos.

Midfielders: Kroos, Casemiro, Kaka.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

Schalke 04 (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Hildebrand.

Defenders: Uchida Atsuto, Höwedes, Matip, Ogo.

Midfielders: Draxler, Jones, Boateng, Neustadt, Fox.

Forward: Szalai.

"Schalke 04 is in another tough battle. They just tied Bayern Munich in the league, but they also paid the price of the top scorer Huntelaar's injury. Now they are facing the Champions League evergreen Real Madrid again in the European war, which makes their situation even worse!"

"I hope their substitute center forward Szalai can perform well and fill Huntelaar's position!"

The tone of the Bundesliga commentator was a little depressed. There was no way. Schalke 04 had a problem playing Real Madrid in its heyday, not to mention that the top scorer Laporte was injured.

The frontcourt lost a key threat point, and this game is more about defense!

But the problem is that Schalke 04 did not adopt a conservative tactic, but was ready to fight Real Madrid away from home. The momentum was high, but what about the defense problem?

In the stadium, the players of both sides have been arranged, and the game is about to start.

The whole Bernabeu Stadium was filled with thunderous cheers.

The regular matches of the World Cup qualifiers ended, and Spain successfully advanced to the World Cup. They also put all their enthusiasm into the league.

Last season, they failed to win the Champions League, and this season they must make some breakthroughs.

Moreover, since Ancelotti took over this season, the overall style of Real Madrid has also changed a lot.

Their playing style is no longer so conservative, nor so frivolous.

But it is wonderful and gorgeous!

The Real Madrid in Ancelotti's hands can be called a hundred changes.

You never know what tactics he will come up with. He can play pass control, counterattack, play high-altitude bombing over your head, and also use coherent and fast penetrating pass control to break through your defense.

It can be said that this Real Madrid stands out for its comprehensiveness!

What's more, the players in all positions of Real Madrid are top-notch.

With the super attackers on both wings, few teams can withstand the offensive of Real Madrid.

Before the game started, the players of Schalke 04 were a little nervous.

Especially Szalai, as a substitute, he has been suppressed by Laporte for many years and has few opportunities to play.

Now, Laporte is injured and he finally got a chance.

But opportunities are just opportunities. Only by proving himself with performance can he get the opportunity to compete with Laporte for the starting position.

Therefore, he must play a role in this game.

That being said, the opponent is Real Madrid!

Szalai looked at the group of Real Madrid players wearing white jerseys on the opposite side.

Everyone has a "childhood dream". Szalai joined the Real Madrid B team in 2007. If he performed well, he would be able to be promoted to the first team and wear the coveted white jersey.

But not everyone can succeed, and he is not Suker!

Until he left, he had no chance to be promoted to the Real Madrid first team, let alone wear the white jersey.

Now looking at the shining stars on the opposite side, Szalai's eyes are full of yearning and desire.

Once, he also wanted to be like these people.

But now, he is still struggling to find a chance to stand out in the Bundesliga.

Szalai clenched his fists hard. He had to fight hard in this game.

On the other side, Suker jumped on the spot, and his movements attracted the attention of many opposing players.

Needless to say, Suker is naturally the focus of Schalke 04, but it is a bit unrealistic to want to restrict Suker.

After all, since Suker debuted, except for some extreme tactics, there have been very few cases where Suker has been restricted.

But whenever extreme tactics are used, other positions of Real Madrid will explode one after another, and they will eventually lose the game.

So, when playing against Real Madrid, the prerequisite is not defense, but the ability to use fierce offense to fight against Real Madrid.

The best defense is offense!

If you only pursue defense, you will only be torn apart by Suker and Real Madrid's forwards again and again.

Not long after, the whole audience suddenly cheered fiercely.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Accompanied by this earth-shaking shout, the whistle for the start of the game also sounded.

In the first half, Real Madrid took the lead.

"The game begins! This is the 2013/2014 Champions League group match between Real Madrid and Schalke 04. After the major leagues took a break to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers, the season has now restarted, and Schalke 04 has been harassed by strong enemies in the league and the Champions League!"

"In the league, they tied the powerful Bayern Munich 1:1 at home, but in the Champions League, they have the moment to challenge Real Madrid again!"

"This game is not easy for Schalke 04, and for Real Madrid, they also need to stay vigilant and not relax at all."

After Real Madrid kicked off, it has been maintaining the original situation, with the midfielder taking the lead in controlling the ball.

Suker did not participate in this link. Schalke 04 is indeed a strong team in the Bundesliga, but it is not so strong at the level of European wars, and it has not reached the level that Suker can receive the ball.

He has been active on the wing, linking up with Bale on the right, forming a deterrent on both sides.

Suker and Bale were far apart, fully widening Schalke 04's position.

This also gave Real Madrid's midfield more passing space and distance.

Schalke 04 did not dare to move inward directly, mainly because they were afraid that the two wings would be blown up.

Uchida Atsuto was one of the first batch of Japanese players to go abroad on a large scale. He, Shinji Kagawa, Hidetoshi Nakata and others formed the era of hope for Japan.

Naturally, there were many Japanese fans watching this game.

After all, this was an opportunity for Uchida Atsuto to face Suker, and he did not need to perform too well. As long as he could keep steady, it would be enough to be a sign of Uchida Atsuto's success.

But the problem was that Uchida Atsuto soon became a little dazed.

Suker exerted a lot of pressure on the wing.

Retreat to support, and press forward!

Uchida Atsuto must follow Suker at the first time. If he is a little distracted, he will be directly passed by Suker.

A pair of eyes stared at Suker, paying attention to every detail of the opponent's movements.

At this time, Kroos suddenly passed the ball to Suker on the other side of the field.

"Opportunity!"

Uchida Atsuto made a quick judgment and pressed forward.

He knew that as an offensive player, as long as he pressed forward, the opponent would feel a little pressure and his movements would not be so coherent.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, he could interfere and even compete for the second point.

This trick has been tried and tested in the Bundesliga!

Uchida Atsuto rushed forward quickly and was about to get close to Suker.

At this time, Suker turned his head and looked at him.

Uchida Atsuto was obviously stunned for a moment, but still accelerated.

"Uchida-kun pressed forward! Facing the world's number one Suker, he did not choose to sit and wait for death, but took the initiative to attack!"

The Japanese commentator also shouted excitedly.

Uchida Atsuto and the ball arrived almost at the same time.

Suker stretched out his foot slightly to make a stop, and Uchida Atsuto seized the opportunity and immediately stretched out his foot to steal the ball.

At this moment, Suker's left foot slightly turned outward, making an angle towards the baseline. After the ball touched the instep, it passed through the angle and went under Atsuto Uchida's crotch. Suker then retreated lightly, pushed his supporting foot hard, and got rid of it instantly.

Uchida Atsuto; "!!!"

What the hell is this stop?

"Oh!!! Suker!! Stop and pass, world-class stop technique directly passed Uchida-kun!"

After Suker passed the man, he caught up with the ball in two steps, and the whole action was extremely coherent.

After passing Uchida Atsuto, the entire Schalke 04 defense line became turbulent instantly.

They watched Suker rushing towards the penalty area, their eyelids twitching.

"Go up! Pin him!"

Matip yelled.

As a central defender, Höwedes immediately rushed forward, the whole person was aggressive, even if he was passed, he would knock Suker down and end the opponent's attack.

But at this moment, Suker's foot had an obvious change of rhythm, and he looked up at the middle, where Kroos was rushing forward to meet him.

"Pass the ball?"

Hervides was a little dazed at first, but just this moment made his movements less resolute and his footwork messed up.

Suker took this opportunity to dribble the ball forward and directly into the penalty area.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Hervides reached out and pulled Suker's jersey.

Su Ke's body was pulled back slightly, but he worked hard to tighten his core and directly raised his left foot to shoot.

"Suke!!!!!!——"

At this moment, the entire Bernabeu stadium burst into jubilation.

The ball was like a accurately guided cannonball, drilling straight into the goal along the left goal post.

Just 4 minutes into the game, Suker completed a dribbling performance on the left wing and scored the first goal.

"Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"

Gonzalez's Spanish refrain erupted and he shouted excitedly into the microphone.

"Suke! Unstoppable Suke!"

"From the moment he passed Atsuto Uchida, the result was already determined! Hewedes's hesitation led to Suker's passing, and after entering the penalty area, Suker's shooting threat greatly increased!"

"The most important thing is that this goal was completed amidst fierce interference. Suker's jersey was stretched so long by Hewedes, but it still failed to shake Suker's stability and perfectly suppressed the ball. Scored this goal!”

"This is Suker. Once there is any chance, he can convert it into a goal!"

"Atsuto Uchida was a little too aggressive. This Japanese player was blindly confident in his own judgment, but he ignored that Su Ke is a player who cannot use common sense!"

Suker scored the first goal, and the entire Bernabeu Stadium entered jubilation mode.

Tens of thousands of fans were cheering and shouting, and they kept blasting cheers towards Suker in the center of the stadium.

Suker opened his hands as if to surround the court, like a king dominating the court.

The excited fans almost shouted the word "King".

There are many princes at the Bernabeu, and Raul is one of the representative players.

But the 'King' so far is only Santiago Bernabeu!

The Bernabeu Stadium is also named after this!

But now, Suker's various performances and values, coupled with the wonderful goals and honors he has given Real Madrid, have gradually made him break away from the so-called 'prince' category and move towards the direction of the king. develop!

Unlike other clubs, Real Madrid is very strict in screening the 'King'.

If you don't achieve the best in history and make enough contributions, it will be an unachievable achievement.

But Suker has won countless honors in Real Madrid, even though he only lasted four years.

As today's representative star of Real Madrid, everything about Suker seems to be integrated with Real Madrid.

There is no doubt that Suker has been labeled as Real Madrid outside.

Real Madrid is also based on Suker and has re-entered the Galacticos era.

Of course, the title of 'King' is still a bit early.

Maybe when Suker wins the World Cup, or maybe when Suker wins a few more Champions League and La Liga titles, he may really be crowned king at the Bernabeu!

In the VIP room, Florentino smiled and clapped his hands.

He doesn't mind if some fans call Su Ke 'King'. If this can further increase the club's influence, he is happy to see it happen.

Of course, he is not stingy. Suk will affect him after he becomes the 'king'.

Suker is a player personally invited by Florentino, which is the basis of everything.

Su Ke and Florentino are tied together and are an interest group.

Unless one day, Su Ke really openly opposes Florentino, or directly curses in front of the media.

As long as this is not an extreme situation, the higher Su Ke's achievements will be, and the more status and resources Florentino will be able to obtain.

Even if necessary, he wouldn't mind promoting this matter personally and crowning Su Ke the king!

"Mr. Santiago passed away in 1978, and Real Madrid also lost its 'King' in 35 years." Florentino looked at Suker in the stadium and couldn't help turning his head and asked; "What do you think of him?" "

The secretary didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer.

I don’t know if there is something in Florentino’s words.

Florentino also smiled and turned to look at the court. His eyes were fixed on Su Ke and he smiled happily.

"Since I returned as Real Madrid president, the best decision was to bring Suker to the Bernabeu! Look, how good he is!"

Casillas looked at the tsunami of cheers in the stadium and couldn't help but feel sad.

As captain of Real Madrid, he also fantasized about his future.

He does not seek to become a symbol of Real Madrid like Raul, a 'prince' at the Bernabeu.

But I also want to be an excellent captain that the fans say.

However, some bad experiences and choices at the end of his career caused him to lose these opportunities.

Looking at Su Ke now, he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy,

Suker is definitely the recognized 'prince' at the Bernabeu!

No one in the outside world or the media will find fault with this.

However, this guy is slowly breaking through this limit and moving towards the 'King'.

The moment he is crowned king, his status in Real Madrid will be infinitely elevated. Combined with his brilliant player experience, he will have a status that cannot be ignored in Real Madrid even after he retires in the future.

The celebration is over.

This goal made Schalke 04 a little confused.

But the worst is yet to come!

In the 18th minute, only 14 minutes after the last goal, Bale copied Suker's goal on the right wing.

With his super personal ability and speed, he directly broke through Schalke 04's defense and scored a goal.

After two goals, Schalke 04 became more passive.

In the 31st minute, Casemiro used a corner kick to score his first goal after joining Real Madrid.

The score was expanded to 3:0, and the whole game entered the rhythm of Real Madrid. Schalke 04's defense was torn many times, and the defenders now became dazed.

There were even several mistakes. If Real Madrid played more resolutely, this would not be a matter of losing three goals.

However, after Real Madrid led by three goals, it obviously stopped and did not add more offensive pressure.

The first half of the game also ended with this score!
