"Schalke 04 is a little passive at home. Xu Qi's cross just now created a corner kick for Valencia again." Duan Xuan also felt a little nervous. In fact, he is of course more supportive of Valencia now. After all, Xu Qi is the main force of Valencia, and Hao Junmin is difficult to get a chance in Schalke 04. Although he broadcasts more Bundesliga, based on the current situation, most Chinese fans still support Valencia more.

This time the corner kick was taken, Valencia did not gain any advantage in the penalty area. Schalke 04 still has a considerable advantage in setting pieces.

The game continued, and twenty minutes after the start of the game, the game scene became a little dull.

After all, the competition cannot always be in a fast-paced environment.

Schalke 04 home fans began to sing. The situation on their team seems to have stabilized. So far, they have not lost the ball, which has made their fans feel optimistic.

After the Valencia's offensive at the beginning, I am afraid that I will enter Schalke 04's siege period.

"In recent minutes, Schalke 04's ball possession time has increased. It seems that they have finally stabilized their position. After all, they are fighting at home. If the scene is too ugly, it will be difficult to explain to the fans watching the game on the spot." Duan Xuan also felt that Schalke 04 had some offensives during this period.

Especially in the twenty-five minutes, Hunterlaer received a pass from Raul and then shot from the goal above the crossbar, which was an excellent scoring opportunity.

However, just when Schalke 04 thought they would stabilize the situation, Valencia's inadvertent long pass hidden murderous intent.

The long pass fell, Aduris retreated to catch the ball and grabbed the front point, and Xu Qi directly inserted it from the left side.

In such a critical header, Aduris actually successfully fought for the header and rubbed the ball with the back of his head!

The ball was ferried to the penalty area on the left side of Schalke 04.

At this time, Xu Qi suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the direction of the ball that was swept not far in front of him.

On the side of Xu Qi, Atsuto Uchida was using his strength to stop Xu Qi from moving forward, but this was useless.

Xu Qi's physical fitness far exceeds that of Japanese players who are often not strong, so he just tried to accelerate and threw Atsuto Uchida away, and no matter how he pulled him away, he couldn't hold him back.

During this period, Xu Qi forced himself to throw Atsuto Uchida, kicked his feet near the penalty area line, and volleyed!

At this time, Neuer stood a little further forward, and Xu Qi's ejection was another fast and similar parabola. The ball just jumped over Neuer's head, and he couldn't save it. The ball fell directly into the net.

"Score! Xu Qi, Xu Qi scored! The fifth goal of the Champions League this season, Xu Qi is definitely a major weapon in the Champions League. Currently, Xu Qi's number of goals is second only to Etoo, Gomez and Messi. It's so strong!" Duan Xuan shouted excitedly: "This goal is very critical to Valencia. This is not only the goal that allows Valencia to lead, but also makes Valencia a away goal. After this goal appears, the game will be quite unfavorable to Schalke 04. Everyone knows that Schalke 04's home record this season is very good, but the away record is a mess. If they cannot win Valencia at home, how can they go away to reverse Valencia at Mestalia?"

Duan Xuan's series of commentaries also showed that he was more optimistic about Valencia's view.

On the sidelines, Schalke 04 coach Magath sat in the coach's seat and watched the situation on the scene.

The defensive problem just now was that Schalke 04 did not compete to head the first point, but the more critical problem was that Atsuto Uchida failed to defend Xu Qi again on the second point. Atsuto Uchida's awareness was actually very good. He had successfully noticed Xu Qi's start and had tried his best to organize Xu Qi.

However, he still couldn't do it, after all, the difference in the level between the two was quite big.

Atsuto Uchida is Schalke 04, who has just joined the domestic United Kashima Antlers. He performed well this season, but in this game, he completely exposed his weaknesses.

One-on-one defense and physical disadvantages, in front of a super one-on-one such as Xu Qi, his weaknesses were fully exposed.

At this time, Magath directly called Hao Junmin on the sidelines to warm up, and he was likely to make substitution adjustments in advance.

"We saw Hao Junmin on the sidelines warming up. It seems that Magath has seen that Atsuto Uchida cannot defend Xu Qi at all. Now he wants to send Xu Qi's compatriot Hao Junmin to defend Xu Qi. However, Hao Junmin is not a player who is good at defending. Letting him defend Xu Qi may not have any effect." Duan Xuan analyzed.

However, Schalke 04 team really has no choice. Such a score makes them too uncomfortable. They must make adjustments to ensure that the team stabilizes as soon as possible. Especially now, the team is in a completely unbalanced defense on Xu Qi's side, and no one is stopping him.

Finally, in the 36th minute of the game, Magath used his first substitution adjustment in advance. Hao Junmin appeared and replaced Atsuto Uchida!

Atsuto Uchida was also unlucky enough. He only played for thirty-six minutes before being labeled as having no defense at all.

This is indeed not wrong. Although the score is 1 to 0 now, Xu Qi has challenged Atsuto Uchida many times and won all of them. Atsuto Uchida did not even have a successful steal. This time, it can be said that Xu Qi defeated Atsuto Uchida in just 36 minutes.

Hao Junmin was also expressionless after playing. Xu Qi's outstanding performance made him feel more conflicted. Now he is participating in the game as a Schalke 04 player, and Xu Qi is his opponent.

This time, he appeared as a substitute for Atsuto Uchida, with the main purpose of blocking Xu Qi. Hao Junmin is also a player with outstanding speed and flexibility. In terms of confrontation, Hao Junmin also has an advantage over Atsuto Uchida.

But his defensive awareness and experience are not as good as Atsuto Uchida. This time, Magath filmed Hao Junmin as a show, which was more like an adventure.

Hao Junmin also performed very positively after he came on the court.

When Valencia took the ball and attacked again, the ball was transferred to Xu Qi's feet on the left side, Hao Junmin released the shovel in time and directly shoveled the ball under Xu Qi's feet out of the sideline!

This was a successful defense. Although the ball was still owned by Valencia, it was already very good for Hao Junmin to do this.

At least, he was not as good as Atsuto Uchida, and was beaten by Xu Qi in a juggling manner.

At least, Hao Junmin touched the ball.

This tackle also brought warm applause from Schalke 04 fans at the scene to Hao Junmin.

Xu Qi and Hao Junmin fell to the ground at the same time. The referee did not express it, but just signaled to Valencia's out-of-bounds ball. Xu Qi stood up and pulled Hao Junmin up, smiled and threw the ball to Mathieu, and then the team began to take the penalty kick.

The ball outside the boundary was opened and Xu Qi received the ball. This time he did not continue to treat Hao Junmin like Atsuto Uchida. He still transferred the ball to the right with a long pass and began to approach the middle.
