Chapter 273 Chapter [080] Super Devil's Week [Amitabha...]

1:3, Manchester City lost to Arsenal at home, which made Manchester City fans very dissatisfied.At this time, they vented their anger at the head coach of Manchester City. In this game, the Manchester City players did not play desperately, but they still lost a 1:3 at home, which is unacceptable to the home fans.

So, after the game, Manchester City fans began to shout for Manchester City coach Mark Hughes to dismiss him.Of course, such calls are not very serious, and there are not many fans who vent their anger in this way.After all, from the beginning of this season, Manchester City's results are pretty good.Moreover, Manchester City's next schedule can be said to be devilish, and some fans who know a little bit know very well that no big turmoil can be caused at this time!

In the next two weeks, Manchester City will face a week of double matches.My men, in the next week, they will go to Gelsenkirchen, Germany in the middle of the week to play an away game against Schalke 04, and then two days later, Manchester City will return to their home court to participate in the first derby of the season against the mighty Manchester United!

After this week, in the middle of the next week, Manchester City will face the Ligue [-] giants Paris Saint-Germain. On the weekend and there is a league, they will face Fulham away.This can be regarded as a super devilish schedule, which is undoubtedly worse for the Manchester City team that just lost a key game. For Mark Hughes, it will be a very difficult task.

From now on, Manchester City will start preparing for the match against Schalke 04.Schalke 04 Football Club, also known as Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04 Football Club, is a football club located in the Gelsenkirchen Schalke area of ​​​​North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany.The home stadium is the 1904-seat Veltins Arena.In the ten years between 5 and 4, Schalke 55,000 entered 1933 finals of 1942 league or cup matches, that is, entered at least one final each year, won six league and one cup championships, and was the best team in Germany at that time. The Bundesliga was officially established in 04, Schalke 20 is one of the founding members.

Schalke 04 has won 7 Bundesliga titles, 4 German Cup titles, 1 League Cup title and a UEFA Cup title.The UEFA Cup was won by them in the 1996-1997 season. Their opponent in the final was Inter Milan, but they still defeated the powerful Inter Milan!

Although, since the beginning of this season, the results of Schalke 04 are not very good. In the 14 rounds of the league, the Schalke 04 team has achieved a total of 6 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.In the last three rounds, the Schalke 04 team even lost two games. Therefore, Schalke 04 is not their strongest at this time.This may be good news for Manchester City.

On the afternoon of November 2008, 11, all members of the Manchester City team flew to Gelsenkirchen, Germany by plane.Gelsenkirchen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.Located in the Ruhr area, a heavy industry base in the northwest corner of Germany, it is a small city with a population of only 26. In Gelsenkirchen after the 30s, the coal industry gradually shrank, and a large number of coal wells began to close. The city gradually changed from a "black city" to a green city with a beautiful environment.Although there are not many world-famous tourist attractions in this city, if you are a passionate football fan and just want to watch the World Cup, this is definitely the best choice: there are the most enthusiastic fans in Germany and the most advanced football stadium in Europe. More than half of the people in the city are almost obsessed with their team. During a league period, the average audience at the Schalke Stadium is more than 60!

Schalke Arena (Veltins Stadium) - the main stadium of the 2006 World Cup, the Schalke Arena with an investment of 1.92 million euros was officially opened on August 2001 and 8, 13, with a capacity of 14.The arena, with its artsy architecture to a new standard, is located adjacent to the old Park Stadium.The new equipment shows the advancement of stadium design, which makes the arena the most modern stadium in Europe.His field is movable, and the roof can also be extended and retracted, and can be completely closed within 53,804 minutes, and the game will never be affected by bad weather.

The average maximum temperature in Gelsenkirchen is 21.7 degrees Celsius, the average temperature is 16.5 degrees Celsius, the average minimum temperature is 11.3 degrees Celsius, the rainfall is 88.0 millimeters, and the average daily sunshine is 6.6 hours.The main means of transportation here are trams, buses and trains, and you may often need to transfer.

There are mainly small restaurants here, and the cost is not very high. There are shops and supermarkets near the train station. It is said that roast chicken is very cheap.The Old Town is the center of Dusseldorf. Within less than half a square kilometer, there are more than 260 beer houses, bars and restaurants of various kinds, lined up along the Rhine River, and it is the most luxurious location of German beauty.The beer sold locally is a very famous dark beer in Germany. The German name is Altbier, which literally translates to "old beer".The most famous beer hall is Uerige, where you can taste freshly brewed dark beer.There is also one of the most dilapidated houses in the old city - Heine's former residence.

In the team's bus, Xu Zhou quickly took out his pocket netbook and looked up all the information about Gelsenkirchen.Although there are only two days here, and all the energy is spent on the competition, there is no time to travel to Gelsenkirchen, but he still checks the relevant information about this city in detail. Perhaps this is also Xu Zhou's personal way of traveling!

Rushing to the hotel where they were staying, Xu Zhou and the others immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the media reporters waiting there. Facing the reporters' long guns and short guns, all the members of the Manchester City team showed a tired look.It seems that this long journey is still very tiring.Under the escort of security personnel, the Manchester City players quickly entered the hotel where they were staying, and then went directly to rest.

On the morning of the second day, the Manchester City team conducted a simple training at the location arranged by UEFA, and then in the afternoon, the Manchester City team walked into the Veltins Stadium in Gelsenkirchen for the first time, where they conducted their first adaptive training.Here, the Manchester City team rehearsed the tactics of this game and also carried out some simple physical recovery training.

On the morning of November 2008, 11, under the leadership of the team's head coach, the Manchester City players once again walked into the Veltins Stadium for the last adaptive training before the game. This training was completely closed.The media reporters were not given any chance at all, and all interviews were declined.

Even after training, Manchester City players still did not answer any questions about the game in the face of frantic questions from reporters.This annoyed these reporters, and they were all downcast.However, they did not give up, and he set his sights on the pre-match press conference.

However, to their disappointment, at the pre-match press conference, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes did not answer any questions from reporters about this aspect.After he briefly introduced some information about the game, he left the press conference directly.

Immediately, these journalist friends immediately shifted the focus to Schalke 04.Perhaps because of Manchester City's performance, Schalke 04 did not talk too much about this issue. They just said that they would do their best to win this game.

In the European arena, Schalke 04 and Manchester City have fought 2 games in history, and each team won 1 game; in the 69-70 European Cup Winners Cup semi-finals, Schalke 04 beat the opponent 1-0 at home, but lost 1-4 away to the opponent and was blocked from the final gate with a total score of 2-5.This time they meet again, whether it is the home team Schalke 04 or the visiting team Manchester City, they undoubtedly regard this dialogue with the strongest opponent in the group as an opportunity for the team to qualify ahead of schedule, and a fierce battle is about to start in Veltings.

Currently in Group A of the UEFA Cup, Schalke 04 has one win, one draw and 4 points ahead of Manchester City, which has one game less. Both teams are undefeated in this year's UEFA Cup!Therefore, this powerful dialogue is even more interesting.

After losing to Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in a row, Schalke 04 finally won a long-lost victory at home last weekend against Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1.And Manchester City lost to Arsenal by a big score last week. The situation of these two teams is not very good recently. It really feels like a difficult brother.

3-1胜巴黎圣日耳曼、1-1平桑坦德竞技之后，沙尔克04目前积4分，排名小组第一。如果拿下这场比赛，他们将积7分，这一分数将基本确保他们从这一小组出线。虽然只是存在理论上的4支球队同积7分的可能，但事实上联盟杯到目前为止还没有一个球队在积7分的情况下小组淘汰。曼城上一轮比赛主场3-2战胜特温特队，目前少赛一场积3分，如果他们能在客场战胜沙尔克04，他们将积6分，同样可以基本确保小组出线。在欧洲联盟杯历史上只有一支球队在小组赛阶段积6分而被淘汰（2004-05赛季的格拉斯哥流浪者队）。

Therefore, this game is very important to both sides, and they will definitely fight hard and fight to the end.

This is definitely a great game!
