Chapter 701 A Glass of Beer
On April [-]st, April Fool's Day, Westerners traditionally make some harmless jokes with others on this day, and on this day Schalke will also play an away game against St. Pauli.

This is the No.20 eighth round of the Bundesliga. St. Pauli's recent record has been very sluggish. It has plummeted all the way and fell directly into the relegation zone. After all, this is also a very important game. Schalke still needs to win consecutively to ensure the championship, so Schalke also attaches great importance to this game.

Since many people have just participated in the national team's competition recently, Magath still used a group of players who are not very tired, and today's lineup is also a bit strange.

The goalkeeper is Neuer guarding the gate. Although he was also selected for the German national team, he did not play.Defender Howards and Prestan, Metzelder was re-selected for the national team because of his recent performance, but unfortunately he sprained his ankle in the national team game, so Magath left him in this game Gelsenkirchen.

The left and right fullbacks are Avelar and Escudero respectively. Papadopoulos has secured his main position in the Greek national team. He has participated in two games in the past ten days. His physical strength was also severely affected, so he was put on the bench for this game.

The midfielders Draxler and Ai Huan guarded the midfielder. Both Annan and Matip did not appear in the lineup for this game because they played for the national team. The main players of the team, so also participated in all the games.

Midfielders Jurado and Holtby still appeared in the main lineup. Although both of them were selected for the national team, they are still physically strong because they are not main players. They can still handle this game.As for the forward line, Pukki and Raul started in a row, and these two people had a ten-day rest like Ai Huan, so there is no problem in playing such a game.

Magath is very satisfied with the mental state of his players, especially Ai Huan's proud face. At first, he was quite worried that Ai Huan would be in a low mood because of the conflict with Renfa, but now he looked at it completely differently. My mood has also improved.And he didn't say the words that had already come to his lips. He still maintained a normal mind towards Ai Huan. As long as Ai Huan could play, he would not say anything. road.

Pukki was having a hot fight with that model recently, so when he saw Ai Huan, he looked in a good mood, so he smiled and asked, "We all heard that you had a fight with that idiot, why didn't you come back this time?" Listen to what you said? What exactly does that person do, you say a word, let’s go to the United States and teach him a lesson again.”

Ai Huan laughed, "Don't be kidding, that guy is more than two meters tall, and he has practiced mixed martial arts for many years. Otherwise, he dare not say that he can beat ten people like you without any problem."

Puji laughed and was not angry, "I didn't mean that I would teach him a lesson. Don't we have several people? Are we still afraid of them when we go up together?"

Raul rolled his eyes, and kicked Pukki, "Go away." Then he said to Ai Huan, "Actually, I was also in the United States at the time, and the news was overwhelming and you were everywhere. According to the above, you should I'm very angry, why doesn't your state seem to be affected at all today? Is it the girl in the legend, you have already taken it?"

Ai Huan didn't answer and laughed, and said half-truth, "Is there any problem for me to win a girl?"

The game officially started. Although none of St. Pauli's players played in the national team, their condition was very low. After all, they have regarded losing as normal in recent games, so facing the current No. [-] Sao Paulo Erke, they couldn't lift their spirits even more.

From the very beginning of the game, it was time for Schalke. The players on the Schalke field launched a wave-like offensive, overwhelming the opponent.

Only [-] seconds into the game, Holtby was fouled and Schalke got a free kick.Jurado took a free kick from the left and was ejected by the defender. Raul subconsciously pushed his right foot in front of the goal and hit the crossbar.After hitting the goal beam, the football bounced back into the field again. Ai Huan was already in front of the football, but he didn't head the ball directly, but pushed the football to the other side. Pukki didn't wait for the football to hit the ground and directly Headed into the goal.

The two made a beautiful alley-oop, and what is interesting is that none of the St. Pauli players defended during the whole process. They just watched the conceded goal and the score became zero to one.

St. Pauli was still listless in the following games. This conceded goal made them lose their energy in an instant. In the subsequent games, Schalke still took the initiative on the field, threatening the opponent's goal time and time again.

In the 7th minute, Escudero made a successful breakthrough from the wing and made a long pass near the midfield. The football flew directly to the edge of the penalty area. Ai Huan still didn't wait for the football to land, and volleyed directly. The football slipped easily again A goal was scored, and the score instantly became zero to two.

This is Ai Huan's No.30 six goals this season. Just now he also completed No.20 with one assist, taking the top spot in both lists. No one has been able to win his position in these two lists this season.

In the 9th minute, Schalke made another comeback. Holtby dribbled the ball over the opponent's midfield easily, affecting the entire defense line of St. Pauli. Ai Huan, who was behind him, took the opportunity to shoot again, making the score three to zero again.

In just 10 minutes, Schalke has achieved a huge lead, which also makes Magath look very relaxed. He has already discussed the next game with the assistant coaches around him. They will face the Champions League on April [-]. The next opponent, Inter Milan, is the top priority now.

However, Schalke did not relax their offense because they already had a big lead. They took the lead again in No. 206 minutes.

Pukki received a pass from Holtby and shot a long shot that was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.Corner awarded to Schalke.Jurado took a corner kick from the left, and Raul once again rushed to the goal with almost no one marking him. The football bounced into the far corner, and the score became zero to four, which left everyone speechless. Many have gotten up and left.
