Chapter 140: God Falls Asleep (Part I)

Cologne FC is the latest of the 18 Bundesliga teams, and its history is not long, but it also won the Bundesliga championship in 1962, which can be regarded as a glorious past, but in recent years it has been completely reduced to the role of soy sauce.

In the Bundesliga last season, Schalke beat Cologne 2-0 at home and 2-1 away, and currently maintain a three-game winning streak against Cologne and a 10-game unbeaten run at home. The last time Cologne took three points at Schalke was back in 1993, and in the twenty-four years since 1986, the Imperial Blue has only lost this one at home against Cologne, so almost everyone in Gelsenkirchen from top to bottom thinks that there is no problem in winning this game.

But even so, Magath made a careful arrangement for this game, and he only made some changes to the lineup from the previous game. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, defenders from left to right, Escudero, Hovides, Metzelder and Moritz who has not started for a long time, midfielders Maputi and Rakitic guard the back, and Jurado, who has always been the main force that cannot be beaten, was put on the bench, and Holtby still appeared in the position of the forward defender, and he has performed well on and off the field recently. The forward line is still a combination of Farfan and Raul, and the technical characteristics of these two people are somewhat similar, but because of the existence of Ai Huan, the main point of attack, they are not so strange.

Cologne lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which was one they were most familiar with. Goalkeeper Montragon, defenders are Shoch, Gore Omer, Mohammed, Ere, midfielders Petit and Matuszyk, midfielders Clemons, Lanich and Yayak, leaving Ferres alone in the front, it is obviously a combination of defensive counterattacks, but because their toughest striker Podolski is out of action with an ankle injury, this striker is not expected by too many people, which is the main reason why the whole country is not optimistic about Clone in this game.

Because the game is close to Christmas, the Christmas atmosphere at the Schalke scene is relatively strong, many fans are wearing blue Santa hats, looking very playful and cute, while the fans in the die-hard area are still angry and unbearable, and their organizers are still shirtless, looking fearless even in the ice and snow. The two are mixed in the stadium, which is also very interesting.

Uncle Deep's voice echoed over the pitch: "Many people say that Podolski's absence means that Cologne has lost half of it, but what if he does, what if he does? Even when Podolski was at his most ferocious, he only scored 24 goals in 30 games, and looking at the 27 goals scored in 17 rounds now, is this a human task? Therefore, the coach is the real king, and there must be a good coach. This sounds like a satire of Podolski, but Uncle Pope also forgets that it was Magath who now leads Schalke who brought Podolski to work at Bayern, which is also a kind of irony that only the parties can experience.

Fortunately, the fans on the field did not expect this layer, they immediately responded to Magath who was sitting in the private room watching the game, Magath also immediately waved his hand, but the smile at this moment was a little bitter, he still clearly remembered that he was scolded in the newspaper for turning a German genius into waste, and now he has become a God maker, and life is really full of fun.

However, the two sides started attacking at the beginning of the game, which was also a little unexpected for the Schalkes. In the second minute, Clemmons took a corner and Ranich fired just over the crossbar. In the ninth minute, Holterby instigated an attack on the right, and Farfan's powerful shot after escaping the defense in the middle was blocked by the opposing defender with his body. In the 22nd minute, Clermont crossed from the right, and Metzeld cleared in front of the goal and broke the ball out of the box. In the 27th minute, Cologne striker Ferres wasted a great chance when his powerful shot from close range went wide.

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 the whole person disappeared on the stadium of Nuoda, and even the fans below began to be a little anxious, what is their god doing?

Magath couldn't help frowning, this Ai Phantom is really not very worry-free, but there is nothing strange about it, a person's state is good or bad, no one can guarantee that his state will be hot for a season, as long as he can appear in the position where he is most needed at the most critical time. After all, even if everyone felt that he was in poor shape, what would it be? Who would dare to say that there was no need to keep an eye on him?

Uncle Dipper 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 the thirtieth minute, Ai Xuan appeared where he should have appeared most, as if he had a flash of inspiration. Clemons' pass after the ball was wrong, and the ball was passed directly to the feet of Ai Phantom, who was sleepwalking, from the opening to the present, this is the first time Ai Phantom touched the ball, but it was this short moment, Ai Phantom actually stuffed the ball directly into the penalty area, and the ball lightning pierced the entire defense line and fell at the feet of Raul.

In the face of this opportunity, Raul naturally will not let go, and a volley football roared into the door, and the score became 1-0, which was also Ai Huan's thirteenth assist this season. After the goal, Raul was very happy, and ran to Ai Huan's side and hugged him, "Haha, it's really fun to play football with you, boy!" and it wasn't until this time that he found that Ai Huan's emotions were not much higher, so he asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

Ai Huan shrugged his shoulders, "It's not a big deal, but I just can't muster up the strength, I think time will heal everything." ā€

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

"The pass just now can occupy the eighth half of this goal, it just fed the ball to Raul's feet, it is really beautiful. The people of Cologne never dreamed that even our God was sleeping so much better than them. Uncle Dipper laughed.

At this time, the fans in the stadium also began to chant joyfully, "Even if God is asleep, you can pass a deadly good ball!" (To be continued. )
