Chapter 163 Penalty Lore

Although Hamburg is known as the King of the North, it has long since declined.

Hamburg only ranked 15th in the Bundesliga last season, an obvious relegation team ranking.

In the current Bundesliga standings, Hamburg is only ranked tenth.

More importantly, the two most important players in the Hamburg team are currently absent.

The former European golden boy van der Vaart, he returned to Hamburg from the Premier League this summer, which is one of the reasons why Hamburg can improve this season.

Sun Xingmin, a South Korean teenager from the Hamburg youth training, has grown rapidly in the past two seasons. This season, together with Van der Vaart, he has become the twin star combination of Hamburg's midfielder.

But at present, both of them are absent, which will definitely greatly weaken the overall strength of Hamburg.

So although the current state of Schalke 04 is not good, it should not be a problem to win Hamburg.

After the start of the game, Hamburg's defense was very tenacious, and Schalke 04 returned without success in the first 30 minutes.

But the game quickly entered the rhythm of Schalke 04.

In the 31st minute, Uchida Atsuto, who came back from injury, made a cross from the right. Li Chenglong headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area. Huntelaar followed up with a volley. The ball went straight into the lower left corner of the opponent's goal. .

"Li Jimin rubbed the ball and assisted Huntelaar to score."

"This is Huntelaar's fifth league goal this season, which means that in the first 13 rounds of the league, Huntelaar only scored 4 goals."

"Before Schalke 04 was able to bite Bayern in the standings, mainly because of Li's outstanding performance."

"If Huntelaar can still have the performance of last season, coupled with the strong joining of Bruce Lee, maybe Schalke 04 really has a chance to compete with Bayern for the Bundesliga championship."

Now Li Chenglong has become the most watched player of Schalke 04, and he is indispensable to be mentioned in the commentary of every game.

Schalke 04 broke the deadlock, Hamburg seems a little unconvinced, they want to show their momentum at home.

So they just wanted to counterattack, Schalke 04's goal came again.

In the 39th minute, Lee Chenglong dribbled the ball in the middle. First, he swung his shoulders and changed direction to pass the opponent's midfielder Jansen. After entering the penalty area, he forcibly accelerated to overtake.

Although the shot was blocked by defender Westermann who came over from the defense, Schalke 04 won a corner kick.

In this corner kick attack, Hewedes ran out of space and successfully scored with a header, helping Schalke 04 expand the score.

After scoring two goals in a few minutes, Schalke 04's momentum was completely up, and soon they made persistent efforts to make another victory.

In the 43rd minute, Draxler dexterously passed through the opponent's Turkish midfielder Arslan in the middle, and then distributed the ball to Li Chenglong on the right.

Li Chenglong made a slight adjustment, throwing off the opponent's full-back Ogo and kicking a cross.

The Nigerian Obasi, who was behind the goal, dived to the top and scored with a header.

Barnetta did not start this game, and it was Nigerian Obasi who served as the left midfielder. Although his strength has declined severely in recent years and has long since lost the strength of the Hoffenheim Trident, he still seized this time. Opportunities for man-marking.

"The game only played in the first half, and Bruce Lee scored twice with an assist, and Schalke 04 has already led by three goals. They should have no problem winning this game."

The commentator's thoughts are also everyone's thoughts. During the intermission, the visiting team's locker room was filled with joy and laughter, and there was only champagne to celebrate.

But at the beginning of the second half of the game, the Hamburg team suddenly broke out.

In the 58th minute, Hamburg's Croatian midfielder Badelli kicked a precise through ball to help his striker Best to run back successfully and finally scored a single-handed goal.

This goal did not arouse the vigilance of Schalke 04. After all, they still lead by two goals, and this is their home court, so it cannot be said that they should not score a single goal.

But soon at the 69th minute,

The opponent's newly replaced Venezuelan midfielder Rincon made a cross from the side. Matip made a marking error, and was seized by the opponent's Latvian striker Rudnievs and scored with a kick.

"The Hamburg team at home played very tenaciously. They chased two goals in a row, and the suspense of the game returned."

"Schalke's recent state is not good. Almost every game is very difficult. They may encounter trouble again in this game, and they encountered trouble when they led by three goals in the first half."

At this time, the Volkspark Stadium in Hamburg was full of cheers, and the Hamburg fans saw a chance to equalize the score or even reverse the game.

The entire Schalke 04 team also knew that something was wrong, and Hamburg showed momentum.

"We must retaliate. We cannot allow them to attack like this." Li Chenglong hurriedly called everyone together and encouraged them loudly.

"We need to attack again and score their goals again."

Under Li Chenglong's call, the entire Schalke 04 team launched a counterattack, creating a threat for the first time.

Draxler's through ball sent the ball to Li Chenglong's feet. Li Chenglong turned around in the penalty area and volleyed vigorously.

Although the ball was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper Adler, Huntelaar was nearby, and he followed up with a supplementary shot.

But this close shot was missed by him.

"Oh, it's a pity, this is a very good opportunity. The state of the hunter this season is indeed not as good as before." The German commentator said.

Huntelaar means hunter and hunter in Dutch, so Huntelaar's nickname is also called hunter.

It's a pity that his hunting ability has dropped significantly this season.

Huntelaar missed this almost must-goal opportunity, which made the Hamburg players feel that God was helping them and they could win the game.

In the 80th minute, Hamburg midfielder Badelli passed Jermaine Jones and Matip consecutively from the center, entered the penalty area and volleyed, breaking Schalke 04's goal again.

"Unbelievably, Hamburg equalized the score. After falling behind by three goals in the first half, they chased three goals in the second half and evened the score."

"Is the story of the night in Istanbul going to be staged in the People's Park Stadium?"

After scoring three goals in a row, the People's Park Stadium was completely boiling, and the Hamburg team celebrated wildly and roared wildly on the sidelines.

At this time, Li Chenglong had to call everyone together again.

"We still have a chance, there is still time now, we must not just give up like this, if the three-goal lead is reversed, we will immediately become the laughing stock of the whole of Germany, don't you think so?"

After the crazy celebration in Hamburg, the game restarted. They did not choose to be conservative, but wanted to continue to reverse the game in one breath.

If Hamburg has this idea, then they do have a chance, and Schalke 04 also has a chance.

If the opponent chose to be conservative at this time, then Schalke 04 might not have a chance to win the game.

Hamburg still played very openly, and the game time was passing by a little bit.

In the 88th minute, Jermaine Jones intercepted the ball in the midfield and gave it to Lee Chenglong in the frontcourt.

The advance of this pass was given very well, allowing Li Chenglong to catch the ball after a successful start, and he passed the opponent's midfielder directly by speeding up the ball, and went in from the front of the penalty area.

Facing defender Dick Meyer who came to defend, Lee Chenglong swayed his left and right feet alternately, stepped on his bicycle and passed the opponent, and then immediately kicked up and volleyed to the far end of the goal.

Hamburg goalkeeper Adler flew over, but was still a step behind.

But at the far post there was the midfielder Jansen who had just rushed over. Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal from his side, he raised his arm and blocked the ball.

"Handball~~~Handball!!" The entire Schalke team immediately complained loudly to the referee.

In fact, there is no need to complain, the referee has already seen it clearly, immediately blew the whistle, awarded a penalty kick, and sent off Jansen for handball.

"Janssen's choice is actually not a big problem. He is betting on Schalke's penalty kick." The commentator was explaining.

"Anyway, if the ball is not blocked, it will definitely fly into the goal. Although he received a red card for this shot, the game is about to end, so it doesn't have much impact."

"If Schalke 04 kicks the penalty away, or if Adler saves the penalty, Janssen's effort will help the team score an extra point."

Schalke 04 won the penalty, and Huntelaar had already been substituted after missing the must-goal, so this penalty was taken by Jackie Lee.

Standing at the penalty spot, Li Chenglong felt quite calm.

Hamburg goalkeeper Adler is dancing here, but it can't affect Li Chenglong in the slightest.

Adler was a more talented goalkeeper than Neuer back then, but unfortunately his injuries did not allow him to fully grow, and now he can only play for a relegation team like Hamburg.

Even Neuer's goal has been scored, so is he still afraid of this Adler?

The referee blew the whistle, and Li Chenglong ran up, swung his legs and volleyed, and kicked the ball directly to the upper left corner of the goal.

Adler threw it completely in the wrong direction, and it was impossible to stop the ball.

So the ball flew into the net in the upper left corner with great force.

"Goooooooooal~~~~~~~"

"Bruce Lee~~~ scored a goal!!!"

"He personally made the penalty, and he personally took the penalty. This is a lore penalty!!"

"Hamburg wanted a big comeback, but Lee said no to them, and Lee refused their comeback!"

After scoring the goal, Jackie Lee rushed to the sidelines and lifted his trouser legs to show off his thigh muscles to the Hamburg fans in the stands.

In the second half of the game, Hamburg kicked off, and Lee Chenglong became the target of the Hamburg fans. Now that the penalty kick is lore, he has to vent his anger.

After the celebration of Schalke 04, there is not much time left in the game.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"At the end of the game, with Bruce Lee's two passes and one shot, Schalke beat Hamburg 4:3 away."

"But Stevens needs to help the team adjust as soon as possible. This kind of game should be an easy victory, but in the end it can only be a lore and narrow victory. This is by no means the performance of a competitive team."

The narrator's last words were on point.
