Chapter 785 Three Wins in a Row
A week passed quickly, and the third round kicked off in a blink of an eye. Schalke went to Mainz again to play against this team. Schalke easily won Mainz in the Telecom Cup before the season. Ci, but both sides had reservations at that time, and the time was only 10 minutes, so it was not a big deal.

Schalke had a lot of problems before this game. Both Escudero and Metzelder were injured, Matip was still suspended, and Farfan also had a cold for no reason. Fortunately, Schalke's defense has already had a huge problem. Schalke, who was originally looking at the talent, has no one available in the defense.

Especially at the right back position, Fuchs's performance in the last game was very average. Although the defense was quite satisfactory, he did not show what he should have at all on the offensive end, which made people very uncomfortable.

It is because of this that Magath quickly signed Hegel with a price of 150 million. This young man was born in 89. He was not the main force in Aachen, and he had never even played, but even so A player like him spent 50 million on Schalke. From this point, we can see a problem. The whole of Germany has already begun to calculate Schalke.

Hegel shows a right midfielder on the registration form, which is meaningless for a team like Schalke with a large number of midfielders, but Magath just took a fancy to this person. He sent scouts to scout the decision for a long time, and what is more interesting is that Magath immediately started training him as a right back after Heger arrived, which also made many people a little confused.

In the lounge of the Brugge Road Stadium, Magath wrote today's lineup on the tactical board and made the final arrangements. The players all looked at the tactical board and listened attentively to Magath's words.

"We have already played against Mainz. We know how strong they are, so what I want in this game is victory, but we still have to face some problems. Fortunately, we have been doing special training this week. I hope everyone can cheer up and not relax."

Magath is not aimless. The biggest problem in this game still comes from the defense line. Zhang Chong is in a very good state now, and no one has questioned him occupying the main position.However, the huge hole in the back line is a headache. The central defender Howards had a back strain after the last game. Fortunately, it is no longer a serious problem, but it is also because there is no one available, so he has to be placed. An important position in the back line.And in this game, he can only cooperate with Kristo, but the two seem to be incompatible, and they can't be inseparable, but at this time, there is no other better way .

Fuchs stood at the left back position. He was really far from being as good at the right back as he was at the left back. But what surprised everyone was that the right back was Hegel who had just joined the team. Many Schalke players were surprised, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, the current Schalke back line is really short of people.

The midfield has not changed much. Gundogan and Ai Huan have once again become a midfielder partner. Pulling Ai Huan to the back is also to enable him to better assist the defense. This is also a no-way solution, and today's The Spanish wings were dispatched to the left and right, Joaquin and Mata lined up on the left and right.

The striker finally dispatched Raul. He scored a goal at the last moment of the last game to let everyone see that Raul is in good condition, so it is correct for him to be placed in this position, and his partner is Pukki, The Polish striker can finally play, and he is very excited about it. After all, he has changed from the second striker last year to the fourth striker after a large increase in manpower this year. He must seize the few opportunities to let him Fight for the main position.

As for this formation, even the CCTV commentary that still chooses to broadcast it also put forward his own opinions. Xie Quan asked Tao Wei, "Tao Zhi, what do you think of Schalke's formation? Hegel only made it this week. Joining Schalke, and he was playing in midfield before, how could he be placed in such an important position? Do you know anything about this person?"

Tao Wei shook his head lightly, "This player has never played in the Bundesliga before, and he was born in 89, but he was not even selected for the German National Youth Team before. I really can't say what kind of ability this player has. But this game is really a bit difficult for Magath. The defense line went down all of a sudden with three generals. It would be confusing to anyone. I think he pulled Ai Huan to the defense line again, just to be able to fill This vacancy."

"So will this affect Ai Huan's offense? He is still the most exciting in the forward line."

"I think so too, and I'm afraid the big fans all over the world will see it that way, but there's no way to let go of something for the sake of winning the game."

As they spoke, the game had begun.

It is also because the two sides have played against each other before, so there is no need to test and start the attack directly. Mainz also concentrated all their firepower on Schalke's right. They also felt that this team was the biggest. The problem is here, so I also hope that I can use my offensive to catch Schalke by surprise.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, they quickly rushed to the right. However, in the face of the pincer attack of the two players of Mainz, Hegel seemed very mature. The opponent couldn't use it at all. When they wanted to take advantage of the cooperation, Hegel, who suddenly came up, easily intercepted the ball.

Hegel ran forward immediately after stealing the ball. His explosive power was average, but it was enough to pass two opposing players who turned around. Then he immediately passed the football to Ai Huan, but he continued to run forward without stopping. At this time, everyone discovered a very interesting situation. His long-distance running speed was not slow at all. When he charged, he immediately showed his power.

Ai Huan didn't take the ball forward, but pushed the football directly in front of Hegel, and then he also moved forward quickly, and almost at the same time, Mata, Pukki, Joaquin and others all rushed out quickly At this moment, the whole Schalke is like a sports car that speeds up in an instant, directly hitting the formation of Mainz.
