Chapter 747 Closing

On Saturday, the last game of the Bundesliga started at the same time. Ai Fan did not show up in Cologne. He watched the game at his home.Originally, he wanted to go to the store, but Ai Huan changed his mind in the end. Now that he and Jennifer were in a delicate period, he didn't want to make troubles, so he changed to his own home.

But before the game started, Di Pu came. Not only did he come, but he also brought a lot of snacks. Ai Huan was very happy with his arrival, and the two of them sat in the living room and chatted while watching the game.

First, let’s talk about Dipper’s house. That house is bigger than the one Ai Huan lives in now. It has all kinds of equipment, but it looks a bit old because no one lives in it for a long time. Dipper doesn’t have a big mouth either. I sold it to Ai Huan for the lowest price in the market, and it also came with decoration. At this time, I was rushing to rush to work, which made Ai Huan very grateful.However, Ai Huan's move to buy a house in Gelsenkirchen still made the Schalke club and the fans very happy, which basically means that he intends to stay, so all the procedures went very smoothly .

However, after seeing Schalke's lineup, Dipp shifted the topic back to the game, "Raul and Pukki should have no problem with the cooperation. They have different characteristics and can easily coexist. And Raul has also renewed his contract with the club, and he should stay here next year, which is a good thing for Schalke. But Raul is getting older after all, and his attendance rate is very high this season. The role of the fulcrum is very obvious, but at the end of the season, it is obvious that he lacks physical strength, so I think he should become the main substitute next year."

Ai Huan agrees with this opinion very much, "Raul's greatest strength is experience. With him on the front line, he can always attract the attention of the opponent, and his pull will bring the most suitable space for the comrades behind and around him. This is enough. .”

"I also agree with this point, but now there is a problem with our striker. Who will be used as the center? Farfan's skills are very good. In this game, Magath is even willing to let him replace you. This is his strength, but as a striker, his attack power is still a little weaker, which is an indisputable fact. As for Pukki, this kid is so fast that he can be used as a surprise soldier, but if he is used as the main force, then Schalke It will become a defensive counterattack team as a whole, which is not what we want to see."

"So you mean we're short of a center forward?"

"Yes, if we can have a player like Podolski, then our striker will immediately become extremely tough. With such a fulcrum, our frontcourt will not have major problems." Ai Huan did not speak, Just nodded silently, and Dipper continued to comment, "The midfielders Jurado, Matip, Farfan and Papadopoulos seem to be pretty good, but they are actually second-rate. The field really needs to have another point that can effectively help you and organize the offense. Recently, we have seen that Schalke’s biggest loophole is in the midfield. When you are in charge of defense, the midfield is weak and weak. You don't have enough support in the midfield when you attack, that's all the problem."

"Actually, there are Holtby and Draxler on the bench. Do you think they can do it?"

Dipper sighed, "Both of these guys are good, but the problem is that they are too young to take on heavy responsibilities. Holtby was in such good shape at the beginning of the season, he was able to do well behind you, but in the second half of the season you retreated to the middle." After the game, he obviously couldn't find his position, and his state has been very sluggish recently. This is all a problem brought about by his youth. He is a hardworking and practical player, but he is far from the word genius. It's too far behind, he can be used as a main substitute, but he can't be a decisive player." He took a puff of cigarette, and then continued, "Draxler is young and scary, but his growth is still relatively fast. Yes, who knows if it will become a new generation of Ballack in the future? But my concern is that until now Magath has not fixed him in any position, which is still a bit of a problem for him."

After all, he is working in a football-related profession, so Di Pu's vision is definitely not inferior to any professional coach. Ai Huan admires his evaluation, but what Di Pu said next makes Ai Huan a little uncomfortable "Actually, whether these people can stay in Schalke is still a problem. I heard that several people are being targeted by other clubs."

"Who is there?" Ai Huan immediately asked.

Di Pu shook his head lightly, "Not many people have been identified, so I don't want to tell you too much at this time."

"You mean someone has already decided to leave?"

Dipper didn't answer right away, but continued to comment on the back line, "Escudero and Avelar guard the wings, and Metzelder and Howards are our best central defender combination in the middle, but the problem is this line. The back line is not stable, and it is not the best in Europe. It is only because our offensive power is strong that we can always suppress the opponent's attack, so we concede few goals. When your role is not obvious, they will Immediately, flaws were exposed. So I feel that if we want to do great things next year, we must change too many places.”

"Well, I agree with you. First of all, the left wing is a huge hole, but next year Fox should be able to return smoothly. I have a deep impression on this guy. He is almost as fast as me within three meters. , I am very optimistic about him." Ai Huan also said along this topic, "I don't think much about the central defender combination. Metzelder and Howards are both good. If we talk about changing one or two central defenders, can we achieve immediate results? The effect is also a problem. I think it is more practical to strengthen the central defender's substitute. The biggest problem this year is that the defender's substitute can't stand up at all. Sarpe has already passed his peak period, and he is no longer capable. But we The goalkeeper is really good, and that's the last thing Schalke needs to worry about."

Unexpectedly, Di Pu sighed more meaningfully, and then under Ai Fan's strange gaze, he seemed to make up his mind and said, "I dare not say anything about others, but Neuer must leave Schalke." Yes, it is absolutely true."
