Chapter 538 God Is Asleep
The Cologne club is the latest one among the 1962 Bundesliga teams. Its history is not long, but it also won the Bundesliga championship in [-]. It was once glorious, but it has been completely reduced in recent years. For the role of soy sauce.

In the Bundesliga last season, Schalke beat Cologne 1993-1986 at home and 24-[-] away. At present, they have maintained a three-game winning streak against Cologne and are unbeaten in ten consecutive home games.The last time Cologne took a three-pointer at home to Schalke dates back to [-]. In the [-] years since [-], the Imperial Blue has only lost this one game against Cologne at home, so Gelsenkirchen from top to bottom Almost everyone thinks that there is no problem in winning this game.

But even so, Magath still made careful arrangements for this game, he just made some adjustments to the lineup of the previous game.Goalkeeper Neuer, defenders from left to right Escudero, Howides, Metzelder and Moritz who has not started for a long time, midfielder Maputi and Rakitic guarding the midfielder, has always been Jurado, the unstoppable main force, was placed on the bench, and Holtby still appeared in the forward position. He has performed well both on and off the field recently.The striker is still the combination of Farfan and Raul. The technical characteristics of these two people are somewhat similar, but because of the existence of Ai Huan as the main attack point, they are not so strange.

Cologne played a 4-2-3-1 formation, which is also the formation they are most familiar with.Goalkeeper Montragon, defenders are Schoch, Gore Omer, Mohamed, Ere, midfielders Petit and Matusik, midfielders Clemons, Ranic and Yajak, Only Ferrez was left on the striker line, which was obviously a combination of defensive counterattacks. However, because their most powerful striker, Podolski, was out with an ankle injury, this striker was not expected by too many people. The main reason why the whole country is not optimistic about cloning.

Since the game is close to Christmas, the Christmas atmosphere at the Schalke scene is relatively strong. Many fans put on blue Christmas hats, which look very playful and cute, but the fans in the diehard area are still angry The fever was unbearable, and their organizer was still shirtless, showing no fear even in the snow and ice.The two are mixed in the court to complement each other, which is also very interesting.

Uncle Dipper’s voice echoed over the stadium, “Many people say that Podolski’s absence means that Cologne has already lost half of the game. In fact, what if he came as I said? We have The existence of God. Even Podolski scored 24 goals in 27 games at his most ferocious time. Look at Ai Fan's current [-] rounds and scored [-] goals. This is what a human being can accomplish. What’s more, Podolski has gone from bad to worse these years, and he was dismissed at Bayern. So the coach is the real king, and there must be a good coach.” This sounds like a satire on Podolski Schalke, but Uncle Pope also forgot that it was Magath who led Schalke to lead Podolski in Bayern back then. This is also an irony that only the person involved can understand.

Fortunately, the fans on the court did not think of this. They immediately gave warm applause to Magath who was sitting in the private room watching the game. Magath also waved immediately, but the smile at this moment was a bit bitter. I remember that the newspapers scolded him for turning a German genius into a waste, and now he has become a god maker. Life is really full of fun.

However, the two sides launched a confrontation at the beginning of the game, which also surprised the Schalke people a little.In the 2nd minute, Clemons took a corner kick and Ranish shot slightly over the crossbar.In the 9th minute, Holtby instigated an offensive from the right. Farfan's strong shot after getting rid of the defense in the middle was blocked by the opponent's defender with his body. No.20 In the second minute, Clermont made a cross from the right. Metzelder made a clearance in front of the goal and destroyed the ball out of the penalty area. No. 207 minutes Cologne striker Ferrez wasted an excellent opportunity, his close shot missed the goal.

In the first half hour, Ai Huan seemed to have disappeared, neither on the offensive line nor in the defensive position, he seemed to have turned on the stealth function, and he disappeared on the stadium of Nuoda, even the fans below. I started to feel a little anxious, what is their god doing?
Magath couldn't help but frowned. This Ai Huan is really not worry-free, but there is nothing strange. A person's state can be good or bad, and no one can guarantee that he will be hot all season. People, as long as they can appear in the position where they are most needed at the most critical time, it will be fine.After all, even if everyone felt that his condition was bad, so what?Who dares to say that there is no need to mark him?
Uncle Di Pu also seemed a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only follow suit, but he didn't say a word of nonsense.

Sure enough, in No. 30 minutes, Ai Huan appeared in the position where he should appear most, as if he had a flash of inspiration.After Clemons passed the ball, he made a mistake and passed the ball directly to Ai Huan who was sleepwalking. He even stuffed the ball directly into the penalty area, and the football pierced through the entire defense line like lightning and landed at Raul's feet.

Faced with this kind of opportunity, Raul naturally would not let it go. He volleyed the football and roared in. The score on the field became one to zero. This is also Ai Huan's No. 13 assists this season.After scoring the goal, Raul was very happy, ran to Ai Huan and hugged him, "Haha, it's so good to play football with you, kid!" But it wasn't until this time that he realized that Ai Huan's emotions were not very high, so he asked again, "What are you doing?" What's the matter? I seem to have something on my mind?"

Ai Huan shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing serious, but I just can't get my strength up. I think time will heal everything."

After this goal, Ai Huan still disappeared from the field, but the surprise just now was enough.

"The pass just now can account for [-]% of the goal. It's like feeding the ball to Raul's feet. It's really beautiful. The people of Cologne can't dream of it. Even if our God is sleeping, it is better than them. A lot." Uncle Di Pu laughed and said.

At this time, the fans off the court also began to sing joyfully, "Even if God is asleep, he can deliver a deadly strike!"
