After playing Borussia Mönchen, Schalke 04 also ushered in his first Champions League group game.

Home to Portuguese Premier League giants Porto.

Previously, when the group stage was drawn.

Schalke 04 was placed in Group D, along with Portuguese Premier League champions Porto, Turkish Premier League champions Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow.

The strength of this group is not very strong, except for the first seed Porto, the other teams are not strong opponents, so Schalke 04 still has a lot of hope to qualify.

September 17th.

Schalke 04 and Porto have released the squad for the match.

It was originally a trifle, but Schalke’s fans soon noticed something was wrong.

Why is there no Lin Chen in the list?

This discovery suddenly made all Schalke fans unable to sit still.

The team’s top scorer was not included in the squad? Did Tedesco have a broken brain?

Disgruntled Schalke fans ran to the team’s official blog to ask the club why there was no Lin Chen in the squad.

Schalke 04 apparently anticipated the reaction of the fans and immediately made an announcement.

Since Lin Chen arrived late on loan, he did not come and register.

This statement was also communicated well between Tedesco and the club.

After all, compared to telling fans that Lin Chen is more willing to register for the Champions League in Real Madrid, the inner damage to the fans is insignificant, at most it is a pity.

Schalke’s fans feel that it is a pity that with Lin Chen’s ability, he can definitely help the team go further in the Champions League.

September 18th.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Schalke 04’s first Champions League match officially began.

Against last season’s Portuguese Premier League champions and the strongest in the group stage, Tedesco was not intimidated by the opponent’s name.

The game was still a three-back formation, putting most of the players in the midfield in hopes of strangling Porto in midfield.

Despite the lack of Lin Chen’s appearance, Tedesco did not let Burgstaler play as the starting center, but chose Embolo from Monaco as the single arrow.

In Porto, former Serie A meritorious bishop Conseção also made some adjustments to the 442 formation.

In order not to cause a commotion among the fans, Lin Chen did not choose to go to the scene this game, but chose to stay in the base to watch the live broadcast.

The final result of the game was not unexpected by Lin Chen.

Embolo, who started the game, lived up to coach Tedesco’s expectations.

In the 64th minute, Embolo received a pass from McKennie and kicked through the gate guarded by Casillas.

Tedesco then made a substitution, hoping to hold the 1-0 situation.

But in the 75th minute, Ottavio’s goal also failed to make Tedesco’s plan work.

In the end, Schalke drew 1-1 with visiting Porto.

After the game.

The German media expressed regret over the result.

Although Lin Chen did not appear, there were many mentions of Lin Chen in the media.

Many people think that if Lin Chen can play, Porto may not be so lucky to take away a point from the Fertins stadium.

Schalke’s local media also looked forward to how far the team could go in the future, but most of them thought that there was no problem with Schalke qualifying from the group, and it was unlikely that they would go further.

Fans can’t help but think back to when Neuer was still in Schalke 04.

In the 07-08 season, Neuer made 50 appearances for Schalke, playing every minute of the 34 rounds of the Bundesliga, helping Schalke finish third in the Bundesliga.

After that, the team advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the 1/8 final, they also met Porto, but this match can be called Neuer’s famous match.

Neuer saved consecutive goals from Bruno Alves and Lisandro López in the penalty shootout to help the team advance to the quarter-finals!

Although the team lost to the star-studded Barça in the quarterfinals, the fans were still very satisfied with the team’s performance.

So Schalke fans are very keen to have a player like Neuer who can lead the team further in the Champions League on his own.

But at this time, Lin Chen, who was waiting for everyone, could not play because he could not register, which disappointed many Schalke fans.

September 21st

While everyone was still immersed in the group stage of the last Champions League, Schalke 04’s fourth round of the Bundesliga match had arrived.

Schalke 04 is about to face Werder Bremen at home.

This small team that has been playing in the Bundesliga for many years has also had some good results.

Interestingly, though, almost every summer, the Parrot Army loses their best players.

This is true of Gnabry last summer, Westgauard the summer before last, or Di Santo, who moved to Schalke 04 three years ago.

This year is no exception, with Denmark international Delaney switching to Borussia Dortmund before the World Cup.

Surprisingly, Bremen changed its previous caution in the transfer market and invested €2400W in the summer window this year.

Directly bought Dutch international Klassen, who joined as the team’s all-time champion.

….

September 22nd, the day before the competition.

The big list of both sides is out.

Lin Chen, who has been absent for a long time, also appeared in the starting list.

……
