In the year 2016 had left Leroy Sané of FC Schalke 04 in the direction of England. Now he returned for the first Time in the Schalke stadium. In the eighth-final first leg of the Champions League, with Manchester City. But Sané came a little earlier than the other players on the lawn. He turned in the direction of a replacement Bank, and took on one of the blue seats in the place. Coach Pep Guardiola had offered instead of Sané, a total of seven years for Schalke active, the Portuguese Bernardo Silva.
What Sané saw him on the very familiar field of play, it appears not to like it. His Team-playful, a guide, and got two penalties against, and was, as he from of 78. Minute, participate was allowed to. Seven minutes later, he ran to the free kick and shot him untenable to the gate. In the 90’s. Minute, Schalke had to contend with a goal by Raheem Sterling and lost 2:3 (2:1). Thus, the chances of making the quarter-finals ahead of the return game on 12. March more of a theoretical nature.
In Ilkay Gundogan is another player who was in the Schalke youth to actively stand in the starting line-up of guests, which came as a big favorite in the game. And so well played. But only at the beginning. Most of them had the Ball, they saw a very reluctant – one might even say, extremely defensive – oriented Schalke Eleven. Coach Domenico Tedesco had used a tactic that you know in Gelsenkirchen still from the time of Huub Stevens: The Zero must stand. To this end, he has pretty much all the players out there that have their core competence in the Offensive. Consequently, striker Mark Uth had very little opportunities to move forward a little.
Neatly kept up, unnecessarily in residue
get Back but of the table 14 made it. the Bundesliga is very good, possibilities had England’s League leaders. Kevin De Bruyne pulled once from a distance, but the surprisingly aufgebotene Ralf Fährmann, who is no longer in the League, the number one, held without problems. This prepared the Schalke. Actually, they had the Ball, but the ferryman played a risky Pass on Salif Sané, and the second Silva of Manchester, first name David, took him to the Ball. He played him in the middle, where Sergio Aguero hit into the empty goal.
the Neatly kept up, unnecessarily in behind – can throw a team that is already trust hardly anything from the train. Can. It doesn’t have to. Instead, Uth approached the gate in one shot. Shortly after, the Ball was in there. The formation of the gate was controversial. It went to the eternal question: hand penalty or not? Yes, said referee Carlos del Cerro Grande from Spain, after Nicolas Otamendi to the Ball and had jumped to the Arm. The scene had been checked by the Video referee. The very reliable penalty taker Nabil Bentaleb scored the equaliser. And just before the break, even taking the lead. From eleven meters distance. This time it was clear that Fernandinho had held Salif Sané in the box.
Even brief relief was the exception
For the fourth Time, met both teams in Europe together, even Schalke had won. That was 49 years ago, 1:0 by Stan Libuda. At the break, victory number two seemed possible. An intermediate conclusion, which had hardly expected someone. It quickly became apparent that the road to victory would still be a more. Schalke stand in the back, short in front of the own penalty area or inside. Even brief relief was the exception. This was a little nice to look at, really exhausting and successful. As in the first half, Manchester long remained ineffective.
