Chapter 512 The Bundesliga's Only Hope
"Best!"

Lannick put his arm around Firmino, growled loudly, and made a gesture with his hand.

Retreat and hit the midfielder?
Sun Wu was a little surprised, but still nodded, and asked Firmino who ran to the field in a low voice.

"You and Ivan play double defensive midfielders, and I go forward." Firmino twisted his waist and shook his hands and said: "When attacking, you and Ivan take turns to go forward."

"Okay." Sun Wu went back to discuss with Rakitic.

Although both of them are not strong in frontal defense, they are still strong and weak. In this respect, Sun Wu is much worse than Rakitic.

Van der Vaart took a corner kick. This time Cavani headed the ball to clear before Dawson. Sandro on the outside tried to head the ball back into the penalty area, but Firmino interfered from the side and let the ball fly to the boundary.

Farfan was protecting the ball on the sideline, Van der Vaart and Gareth Bale behind him grabbed the ball with hands and feet, and Sun Wu immediately ran to meet it.

Farfan sent a pass back, and Sun Wu made a big-footed feint, lightly poked the ball through Bell's crotch, and then put his foot on the ground to Firmino who came to meet him, who rubbed the outside of his foot. Behind him, Farfan jumped in at high speed and waded the ball away before Hector.

"Schalke 04's counterattack!"

This time, Sun Wu did not go forward, but quickly ran to the midfielder position. Rakitic, who advanced forward, received a cross from Farfan outside the penalty area and ended the counterattack with a strong shot.

"Flew out of the bottom line by rubbing the beam!" Zhan Jun sighed in admiration, "Rakitic didn't grow fast after coming to Schalke 04, but after Sun Wu came, the growth curve was almost a step in a few months!"

"Firmino is also very good. He has the usual inspiration of Brazilians, but he doesn't dribble too much, which is a bit like Kaka's style." Zhang Lu is very optimistic about Firmino.

Sun Wu glanced at Firmino and had to admit that Rangnick's change had worked. As for the final result, it would depend on the next 10 minutes.

Seeming to capture the weakness of Schalke 04, Modric and van der Vaart kept trying to break through the middle.

Although defense is not the strong point of Rakitic and Sun Wu, both Cavani and Firmino came back to help, especially the latter, who is very good at defense.

In the 71st minute, Firmino forced Sandro, and the two fell to the ground at the same time. Sun Wu grabbed the ball and immediately sent the ball diagonally.

"Cavani...Firmino shoots!"

Cavani headed the ball from the previous point, and Firmino in the middle dived with a header!
Gomez stretched out his hand to stop the ball on a conditioned reflex, but Raul, who rushed over immediately, took advantage of the opportunity and dived under Sandro's close body!
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

"Raul Gonzalez scored twice, Schalke 04 leads Tottenham with three goals!"

Adam Simpson waved his arms excitedly, "Schalke is the only hope for the Bundesliga!"

In another game, Bayern Munich, who played at home, fell behind Real Madrid by the same score. The clash between the two Inter Milan coaches was surprisingly one-sided. Almost half of Bayern Munich had already been kicked out of the semifinals by Real Madrid. outside.

Raul rushed to the away stand to take a flag, and there was an impromptu bullfight dance at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Firmino played the bullfight in a funny way...

After Rangnick took office, only one main player was threatened, and that was Raul. He was the main player in the first half of the season as long as he was not injured, but he shared playing time with Draxler in the second half of the season.

But now Raul is content!

He has scored 20 goals this season!

"Even in the same position, each player has its own characteristics." Rangnick sat back on the coach's bench, "Raul can enter the penalty area, and Draxler needs to draw sideways and retreat."

"By the same token, Best regards himself as a commander no matter where he is, so he rarely enters the penalty area in a tactical sense, and Firmino's ability to insert points in the back row is unmatched by Best. Slomka agrees with Rangnick.

Rolf leaned over and blinked, "Is the overall situation settled?"

Lannick said nothing, and turned to look at old Redknapp.

After missing the third ball, Lao Lei was ashen-faced, with his hands in his pockets without making any adjustments.

Although Lao Lei has almost given up, the players on the field have not, such as Modric and Gareth Bale!

Only 3 minutes later, Modric broke through Sun Wu head-on and sent a diagonal ball before Rakitic made up the defense.

Gareth Bell took the ball from a diagonal stab and rushed to the penalty area. After a fake spike, he accelerated unreasonably...

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle to suspend the game, and Bell rolled on the ground holding his calf... instead of rolling left and right, he rolled all the way to the right, all the way into the penalty area...

"Penalty!" the home fans chanted in unison.

"On the penalty area line!" Sun Wu struggled to push away Defoe and Van der Vaart who were surrounding the referee. "It's true, the foul was on the penalty area line!"

"Shit, which eye did you see!" Defoe didn't have such a good temper as his teammates.

Looking at Defoe coming over his head, Sun Wu stood on one foot and was ready to fall down at any time... But Modric held Defoe, and Rakitic also held Sun Wu firmly.

The two Croatian midfielders exchanged a look...

He is really as shameless as you describe!
Well, he is so shameless...

The referee separated the two groups, pressed the intercom to ask the line referee, and then gave Pekarik a yellow card for the foul, and the penalty was a free kick.

"There are still 8 and [-] minutes left, so early to apply for a yellow card?" Sun Wu turned around and asked Pecarik a little puzzled.

The corner of Pekarik's mouth twitched... I really didn't apply for it on purpose!
After the chaos, van der Vaart took a free kick, and the left-footed curve ball bypassed Neuer, but the ball hit the outside of the post and popped out of the baseline.

"In the next game, Pekarik will be suspended for accumulating three yellow cards." Zhan Jun looked down at the information, "The ones accumulating two yellow cards are Hewedes and Rakitic."

"Shuffle the cards?" Zhang Lu shook his head, "It shouldn't be a shuffle, it was almost a penalty."

In the next ten minutes, Tottenham launched a Jedi counterattack, but the emptiness in the backcourt was repeatedly exploited. Rangnick replaced Raul who scored twice with Draxler in a timely manner.

Although in the 84th minute, Gareth Bale finally broke through the gate guarded by Neuer with a long shot from a changing line.

But 2 minutes later, Sun Wu boldly played a small-scale cooperation with Rakitic in the backcourt, and sent a long pass with the ball in front of his feet.

Draxler sprinted 40 meters to the bottom line with the ball and cleverly broke through Gallas, assisting Cavani to score Schalke 04's fourth goal.

"4-1."

"This is a surprising score. Although many people are optimistic about Schalke 04, it is still surprising to score such a big score in the quarter-finals of the Champions League."

"It seems that Schalke 04 tends to score big in the Champions League this season. In the first round of two consecutive knockout games, they first swept Inter Milan and now they beat Tottenham."

Adam Simpson was summing up, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, this must be Best's idea!"

In the 90th minute, Sun Wu pulled Rakitic and whispered a few words. Five seconds later, Rakitic pulled down his national teammate Modric in the middle circle, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

Rakitic will also accumulate three yellow cards and miss the second leg.

"This is a shame, a naked (naked) shame!" Mortensen shook his head and sighed, "This is a shame for Tottenham, a shame for White Hart Lane!"

There is no doubt that Schalke 04 has already decided the outcome in one game. They feel that the next round is just going through the motions, so they shuffled the cards unscrupulously.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 4 to 1. Compared with Inter Milan, Tottenham did not have a shaved head after all.

Sun Wu took off his clothes and ran towards Modric... Hey, this Croatian is really a gentleman, and he really handed over the jersey.

"Best, Ivan told me that you are the most special one." Modric pouted, "That's true."

Sun Wu was a little aggrieved, and looked at Rakitic who came over resentfully, what did you say about me behind my back! ?

I have no use for any crooked tricks in this game!

In this game, I don't want to be too serious!
