If Zhuo Yang remembers correctly, the last time Lai Ao went to Schalke was exactly five years ago. At that time, he was still at Real Madrid and they were competing in the top 16 of the Champions League.

In the draw of the top 16 of the Champions League in the 2018-19 season, Manchester City, the top player in Group F, and Schalke, the second player in Group D, were drawn together. So, after five years, Zhuoyang came to Schalke again. However, it is now

The official name is 'Veltins Arena' because Veltins beer (Veltins) pays 6 million in annual naming fees.

Five years ago, Schalke had Hildebrand, Boateng, Maier, Farfan, Matip, Huntelaar and other famous players. Now Schalke, if Zhuo Yang wants to find a

I probably only exchanged a few words with Salif Sane, the Senegal midfielder who transferred from Madiburg last season.

In the game five years ago, Real Madrid played very smoothly. Although Zhuoyang did not score a goal, he used four assists to help Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema all score twice. It was a rare BBC combination that got excited collectively.

One of the games.

The score was 6:1, Schalke only stole one by Huntelaar in stoppage time.

But today, five years later, Manchester City is playing poorly. The all-conquering Blue Moon fell behind 1:2 at the end of the first half, and even received a red card.

The main responsibility for the awkward kick is that bitch Guardiola is messing around again.

Although there are three central defenders in good condition, namely Lao Kong, Shitou and Laporte, Lao Gua suddenly got the idea to let Fernando and Otamendi partner in the defense.

Okay, these two are not shabby, but Manchester City's midfielder has no waist. It stands to reason that Debich can come up to play a role. Matthew's experience is quite tough, but Lao Gua still let Ding Ding, Teacher Jing and Xiwa start.

These three are all offensive geniuses. Ding Ding has become a second forward, Jing teacher Ding Ding has become a midfielder, and Xiwa has become a midfielder. They can make the midfield attack crazy, but Manchester City, who have no waist, can only look at Otamendi and Fernando.

good fortune.

Manchester City got off to a good start. In the 10th minute, Bruma and Caligiuri made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. The B-seat suddenly appeared and stole the ball. Then he passed the ball across the penalty area and Aguero took the lead to score.

But then, Manchester City didn't play well.

Although Schalke put up a 5-3-2 formation, in fact the two full-backs, Italian Caligiuri and German Ochipka, are both wing experts. Schalke is essentially playing like a veteran.

A headache for the two-wing back running and gunning tactic.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Guardiola needs to make some changes. His eyes are not on Schalke, but on Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea.

Although everyone is saying that Manchester City has drawn a good team, Schalke is not a weakling. It was the runner-up in the Bundesliga last season. It is not easy to bully the team. The head coach Domenico Tedesco is a

Amazing person.

There used to be some, but they didn't attract much attention. In recent years, the football world has noticed that many "academic" football coaches have become popular. As the name suggests, they refer to those who have no experience as a professional player, or whose career as a player is extremely superficial and unpopular, but later entered the field through

He went to a sports university or a football coaching academy to study and became an excellent head coach who "can't play football".

Going back further, the first person to become famous as a coach in this school should be Ralf Rangnick. This man is 61 years old and currently coaches Leipzig Red Bull.

If the scope is expanded, Uncle Zha, Mu Niao, Villas-Boas and others can barely be counted. In fact, academics have always existed in international football, and their number is very large, but because they do not have coaches like Qi Zu and Lao Gua

He already has the aura of a football star, so he suffers a lot in terms of fame.

The Bundesliga has produced many young academic coaches in recent years, such as Nagelsmann, Hannes Wolff, Marcus Carlisle (Madeborg), and today Schalke's Tedes

division.

The 33-year-old Tedesco is said to have played in the seventh level of Germany, but his main job at that time was as a screwdriver at the Mercedes-Benz factory. At the age of 28, he worked part-time as a coach student of the German Football Association and got a coaching job after graduation.

With the certificate, Tedesco left football without any hesitation and started his coaching career in the Stuttgart echelon.

Grain feeding

In March 2017, Tedesco served as the head coach of the professional first team for the first time. He was asked by Aue, who was at the bottom of the Bundesliga 2, to put out the fire. Two months later, Aue successfully counterattacked and avoided relegation, and then he was spotted by Schalke.

.

In his first season as coach of the Bundesliga, and also his first full season as coach, Tedesco led Schalke to win the Bundesliga runner-up, which is amazing. Remember, he is only 33 years old this year.

Call me brother.

Rangnick led the academy, and Uncle Zha created the bombardment style. Therefore, the academy young coach Tedesco played a lot of running and bombing with two wing backs in the Bundesliga. This is called inheriting the tradition.

With unreasonable and unreasonable rushing throughout the game and running without hesitation, Manchester City, who had no waist, were gradually scrambled. Schalke's offensive attack faced Otamendi and Fernando, both of whom were going crazy.

In the 27th minute, Horta went about putting out fires to save himself from the fire, but Caligiuri still found a shooting angle at the penalty area line, and then shot home.

Otamendi tried his best, screaming strangely and rushing to block the hole of the gun. He bared his teeth and claws to block the hole and threatened him. As a result, he was hit by the football on the arm of the blind man. The Spanish referee Carlos Del Cerro made a penalty under the prompt of var.

A penalty kick, and he was shown the first yellow card of the game for his persistence.

Schalke No. 10, Algerian midfielder Bentaleb's penalty shot was guessed in the right direction by Ederson, but the ball speed and angle were very tricky, and it passed into the side net and still went in, 1:1.

The 24-year-old Nabil Bentaleb was born in France and graduated from youth training at Tottenham Hotspur. He just chose the Algerian nationality of his father's generation.

In 2014, Bentaleb, who was only 20 years old, participated in the World Cup in Brazil as the main representative for Algeria, and successfully qualified for the group stage with the team. In the top 16 and 120 minutes, 0:0 almost shocked the subsequent champion Germany.

He was not included in the official top ten rising stars of the 2014 World Cup, but some professional media included him in the top ten.

Bentaleb's mental quality was just right, because ten minutes later, he happily stood on the white spot again without any hesitation.

In the 41st minute, Schalke took a free kick in the frontcourt. Bentaleb, who was in the Manchester City penalty area, lobbed a diagonal shot. Salif Sane grabbed the ball in front of him.

Holding his waist behind him, he fell down.

Salif Sane is 1.96cm tall and as strong as a black rhinoceros. With his small frame, Fernando's defense against him at set kicks is useless. Referee Del Cerro robbed the rich and gave to the poor and awarded a penalty kick, and he also did not forget to reward Fernando with one.

Yellow card.

This time Edson simply bet in the wrong direction and was easily teased by Bentaleb with a spoon, 2:1.

The most fundamental reason for the two goals conceded was that the midfielder lacked the protection of the defense line, leaving Otamendi and Fernando who were facing the impact without any room for maneuver. They could not avoid being nervous after making even the slightest mistake.

.

In the 44th minute, Moroccan left winger Hazam Mendil caught the ball in the frontcourt and suddenly stopped and changed direction to get rid of the ball. Otamendi made too much effort and could not control his center of gravity. He stretched his legs behind him and knocked him down.

Referee Del Cerro did not pretend to be pretentious with Manchester City, nor did he pay attention to Otamendi's various pleas. Two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off.

Guardiola stood on the sideline with a sullen face. Zhuo Yang did not add insult to injury and ridicule him, which was too unkind. He just suppressed his expressionlessness and tried his best to cooperate with Lao Gua's calmness.
