BL 16 Spieltag

When I was in a commuter train this morning, I was pushed by a woman. I was dropped off from a train car as like as Thurk was pushed down by Ernst.
Gee, she should be shown an yellow card!



By some reasons, SGE fans were so curious about the 16 Spieltag against Schalke 04.
However, it was not only SGE fans to gaze at this game curiously.


Joachim Löw
and DFB coaches!!




Hallo Herr Jogi, did you see two great long distance shots by Marco Russ?
Did you also see Marco Russ won some Zweikampf against your children Kuranyi and Asamoah and so on??
Yes, I strongly recommend you call up Marco Russ for the national team. How about using Russ?


The game ended up as a 2-2 draw, but I think SGE had had a chance to win.
What if Amanatidis and Köhler would have succeeded their shots, even only one shot...?!
Well, but, Neuer is a good goalkeeper so they should have used various ideas on their shots.



So, let's check the data of this game.

There was full enthusiasm at the Commerzbank Arena. It spreaded into Tokio via television circuit! ...Yes, that was because the opponent was Schalke 04. It's the team which will take Albert away from us. It's the team which Jones was transferred controversially last season.

In such mood,

Albert was watching the game at his own pace.



When it comes to Albert, he sang a song at a HR3 radio on 7th December. I wish I could have listened it.




The game got started in an exciting mood...no, in a furious mood by Schalkers.
First of all, Schalkers locked on Spycher who is the pillar of the left side players. Oh no, such rough attacks could crash our Spycher, Nein! OMG!
And then, many other Eintrachters were rolled on the pitch by Schalkers... orz

I wonder if Schalkers had something in their mind when they played against SGE....
Schankers exploded with rowdy as like as their name "Schalke (= rogue)". I felt Jones was the top of "der Schalke" at this game... ^^;

Personally I was surprised that Kuranyi had been such rough all the time of this game. I've watched his play in some games of both Schalke and the national team, but I didn't think he was too rough. But I found he had a sort of fierce nature. Uhhh, that's Schalke like!

It might be a necessity for an athlete, but a great athlete is also demanded to control it. Don't you think so?

Kuranyi shoved our players aside with his arms and kicked our players with his spike. Oh no, it was just violence, not malicia!
Well, I think it's ok Kuranyi can be full of vitality only at a game of the national. hehe. I hope he stays calm at Bundesliga games, bitte! ^^;
Don't hurt our players, bitte.



Back to the main subject, let's have a look at Marco and buddies at this game.

At 13 mins, Kuranyi attacked Marco in the rear, but the referee called it as Russ's foul and gave away a FK.




Hey Kuranyi, don't rough at Marco, eh...?! [my angry look at Kuranyi (`-'#) ]

However, God knows. God of Fussball won't give a goal to a doubtful FK. hihi. :P



At 16 mins, Marco was showed an yellow card after challenging Jones. That is his second yellow of this season.
Nooooo, I thought Marco's long leg reached just the ball! I thought Jones dramatized his rolling down!





At 22 mins, Marco blasted a strong shot on goal from middle range throughout Schalke defenders!! It was definitely a shot on goal!!

Jogi, did you see that? Did you see that with your own eyes?!
Neiiiin, I would never save it if I were Neuer! [me idiot]

But, I haven't been able to find a photo of this Russ's shot by pro-photographers. Heeey, you guys didn't mark Marco as a shooter, right?! ^^;

So..., the Japanese TV commentator confused Russ with Toski at this time...orz.
It was Russ, you know, "RUSS"!



Then, the first half finished 0-0.
What did Funkel tell the players in the locker room???



The second half got started and Schalke changed the members first.
Asamoah changed off with Altintop.

At 50 mins, Toski got a goal!

Congrats, Toski!!! It was his first goal at Bundesliga!



Marco ran up to celebrate Toski.


Umm, I'd like to be hugged by Marco, too! [ me idiot! ]







Jaaa, SGE scored first! Woooo! Opening goal! (^o^)/
The fire of SGE leaped across continents to Tokyo! Eins-Null! Dnake, Bitte!

At 55 mins, Jones hit Russ and both were rolling on the pitch.

But no foul. Nein...





At 62 mins, Marco drove a strong Super loop shot on goal from middle range!! Wunderbar!!!

Jogi, did you see that? Did you see that with your own eyes?!
Neiiiin, I would never save it if I were Neuer! [me idiot]

Speaking about Neuer, I hope Neuer will be the regular GK of the national team in the near future, actually. Most of Japanese female fans of Bundesliga stand for Hildebrand or Adler, but I think Neuer will be the best.


At 72 mins, Köhler got a big chance for a goal and faced only Neuer, but he missed a shot.
OHHH, What a waste! What if Köhler made it...?!
Köhler should have used a feint or a loop shot. [me too bold to say]


At 77 mins, Westermann scored by his head. 1-1. orz


At 80 mins, the vital area was a forest of legs and bodies just after a Shcalke's set play, and Marco Russ cleard the ball by his great bicycle shot.


Jogi, did you see that? Did you see that with your own eyes?!


At 81 mins, Amanatidis got a goal! Oh Ama, finally you did...!


Both a beer man and a Banzai man looked so happy with it. :)





And, it was evil 84 mins, Ernst shoved Thurk strongly and a skirmish had happened!


Grossmüller delivered a Chokeslam to Thurk!

Oh no!


Marco found it and arbitrated between them to save Thurk.







...OH, Marco with angry face is so cool, too* [me idiot]






Some players were just in a rage so I couldn't see whether they wanted to enjoy rampaging or they wanted to settle down. But Marco got angry after he saw his teammate was attacked. What a considerate man Russ is! Cool* ;)
I wish I would be hit by someone if Marco would save me. [me too idiot!]
...Ja, there was a fool girl in Tokyo who was thinking such stupid things during this skirmish... ^^;

Jones grabbed Marco by the collar and lashed out at Russ.
Hey Jones, what the hell did you do to my Marco! [me stupid again]


Soto tried to stop Jones, Neuer just looked at.
But, after this,

Jones was told off by Neuer and was hit on his shoulder. hihi.





We can find Jones delivered a Chokeslam to Ochs...! Gee.


I don't know his character, and I'm wondering Jones is such rough always...???



Well, It takes two to tango. The referee showed both Thurk and Ernst YELLOW.

But it was still confused, and Ochs checked them.

Eh? I thinks such job was for the captain Amanatidis?!

At that moment the captain Ama had a drink optimistically. ^^;
Funkel was shouting something to Ama.


After that, Ama came to the flock to see what they were saying.
Kuranyi walked away through between the referee and Ama, and we can find that Kuranyi hit Ama's face with his shoulder behind the referee's eyes...!



After a few minutes break, the game restarted.
I thought the game would finished without changing the score 2-1, but Westermann scored at 89 mins.


Ei, ei, ei, ...orz




Neuer was glad at this goal and danced as like as a Clione.





Finally the game was finished as a 2-2 draw.

Grossmüller who delivered a Chokeslam to Thurk was shown a red card.


No wonder about it!





There remained a sort of unsettled mood after the game.
Papa Funkel interrupted a quarrel among children.


But, both papa seemed to be good friends each other.




Marco exchanged uniforms with a Schalker. With Whom?



Anyway, it was better to salute the fans. I like such attitude of SGE buddies.


There are some teams and players which go back soon if they aren't satisfied with their game. For example, Bayern, Bayern and Bayern... ^^;


So then, there is something grabbing my eyes.

Galindo, you were there just as an onlooker there...?! ^^;

Or, you were going to help your teammates if a quarrel in Spanish would have occurred....? lol






Well, we can say this game was so wild and exciting by various means. ^^;
BUT,
It's regrettable that the topic of the skirmish is way more big topic than the topic of Marco's two great shots. ...me disappointed... orz
At least I hope Joachim Löw has detected Russ's ability. Bitte!



The next game is the last game before the winter break. We would like to see a victory game this weekend.
Give it all you've got, SGE!!
