After the game with Arsenal, Schalke was in the limelight for a while, but there were still some doubts about Ai Huan's play, after all, his injury had caused Hummels to be banned for five rounds, and at this time, this matter was immediately infinitely magnified, and even many people thought that Ai Huan was actually injured.

Magath was a little unaware of this situation, but he had the certificates from the two hospitals in Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen, and all the X-rays, MRIs and other things, which could prove that Ai Huan's injury was real, so he didn't care about this rumor, but he had other headaches at this time.

Schalke's problem now is still at the back, who had been unavailable at the beginning of the season, and now that could happen again.

Metzelder suffered a thigh muscle strain during the fight against Arsenal, which is already an old injury. It seems to be a very common injury but it is a headache for Metzelder and Schalke, after all, this is a veteran player, his age can no longer allow him to play directly after a week like young players, and now Metzelder will have a series of problems as long as he suffers this injury, so it is optimistic that he will need at least a month or so to recover from injury.

Of course, this is not the main problem, Hovedes received a fifth yellow card in the last game and was suspended, which once again put Schalke into a huge problem of lack of personnel in the back line, and at this time Schalke has only two substitute defenders available.

One is the 35-year-old Sarpe, the Ghanaian centre-back was very good at his peak, but he was already past his peak when he arrived at Schalke, so he could only be used as a substitute. The other is Hogland, who is only 26 years old this year, but the player's ability is really not worth mentioning, he made huge mistakes in both appearances last season, and Magath has no intention of using him so far this season. And the reason why these two people were not purged at the beginning of the season is also because they really can't be sold, otherwise they would have said goodbye to Schalke a long time ago, but now there is still their place, which is also a very embarrassing thing.

Magath is not happy with this situation, Schalke is very strong in midfield and can even come up with two line-ups, but the back line is really not worth mentioning, so he hopes to use the coming winter transfer period to buy at least one central defender, even if it is a little-known one, as long as it is useful.

But he was immediately rejected by the club's upper echelons, and the chairman talked to him directly: "Ferre, I hope you can understand that now the club has encountered a huge problem, and it can even be said that we have reached a difficult situation, in the second half of the season, we don't want to say what players to buy, even normal club expenses will have problems, so all you can do is to dig the potential inside, after all, we still have the academy, you can find the people you want there." ”

Magath was shocked by this answer, he also vaguely knew some inside information, but he never thought that it would be so serious, because everything was normal at the beginning of the season, why was the season only about four months old, and things were so serious?

Seeing Magath like this, the chairman also looked a little low, of course he would not tell Magath all the truth, let alone tell Magath that the current problems of the Magath club are actually caused by his own management mistakes, and the huge consequence of this business mistakes is that Schalke is on the verge of collapse.

He paused before continuing: "You should know that the economic crisis and the tide of financial collapse are surging, this is the general trend, and we can only barely support the situation. Another thing, that is, the thing you proposed to continue to negotiate contracts with Ai Huan and a few players has been put on hold indefinitely, and it is already a very reluctant thing for us to be able to come up with their salaries now, and if we talk about new contracts, then the result will be that we will be dragged down by these people. ”

Magath was taken aback by this, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately said, "You mean that if someone proposes a price to Ai Huan now, then you will agree to it?"

"Yes. The chairman did not hesitate at all, and replied bluntly, "His annual salary of 8 million is really a heavy rock for our club, if we can put it down as soon as possible, it may make us easier, not to mention that we all know that his value can at least get our club out of the current predicament, and one person is enough to save the club." ”

"But don't you really think about the results of the club, don't you want to be Champions League winner?" Magath cried out as if he had been stabbed.

The chairman sighed, "I really want to, so I won't sell Ai Fan this winter." We all know that he's already in the Champions League this season, so his value will drop so much, but after this season I can't guarantee anything. ”

Magath closed his eyes painfully, he didn't expect that the club he had built to sweep Europe would fall apart after only one year, but fortunately, he still had half a year's chance, and it seemed that this might be his last chance.

"By the way, since Ai Huan's injury has recovered, he must appear in the next game. The chairman suddenly said such a strange sentence.

Magath was stunned for a moment, this was the first time the chairman had directly interfered with his platoon since he moved into Schalke, which made him very unaccustomed to "Why? Ai Huan is now on the cusp of the limelight, if we don't protect him, then his road will be difficult to walk next." ”

"I know that Ai Huan's problem is a bit tricky, but he is not injured after all, and there will naturally be no twists and turns if we have evidence in our hands, and we can't care about what people outside say, now what we care about is the future. I'll be honest with you, our club is going to welcome two important guests, I hope they can see Ai Huan's wonderful performance on the field, as long as they want, we will easily get through this crisis, maybe you will also achieve your dream of building a dynasty in Schalke because of this turnaround, you think about it. ”

Magath immediately understood that they had already started to sell the club, so that meant that everything could really turn around.
