Chapter 767 is still one point away
The Champions Cup is over, and the final is still a month away, so now Schalke has finally asked for the previous cruel schedule, from playing two games almost every week to one game a week, which is a great thing for Schalke, and Magath also used this opportunity to give many main players a rest.

With only seven games left in the league and Schalke already ahead of a terrifying fifteen points, they now need only four more points to reach the top, and this time they face Hannover 96 at home.
Hannover played well last year and finally qualified for the Europa League, and this year they also performed well in the Europa League, and were not eliminated until the middle of this week, but they were also dragged down enough in the league, and now they are only in the middle of the table, and even the danger of relegation has not been completely ruled out, and they have no confidence in the face of Schalke, who has been on a hot streak recently.
Because the semi-finals of the Champions League have just been played in the middle of this week, the attendance rate of this league is not high now, and even Uncle Deepp seems a little listless, and after casually talking about the opponent's lineup, he directly reported his own lineup.
'The goalkeeper is the young back-up goalkeeper Onnastahl, who is also a lad from our Gelsenkirchen, so it's time to get some work out now. Defender Escudero, who unfortunately will not be able to play in the Champions League final, can still play at any time in the league. Hovides and Metzelder once again formed the best central line, while on the other side of the line it was Fuchs, who was brilliant defensively in the last game, and this game was also placed in that position. Midfielder Draxler replaced Gundogan, while Joaquin and Farfan were on the left and right flanks and Juan Mata was also rested and he didn't even appear on the bench. It seems that Magath is still willing to give us victory in this game. The forward combination is Raul and Pukki, and we haven't seen them for a long time, but we still believe they are powerful enough to defeat any opponent because God is on our side. ”
Sure enough, after the game started, Schalke, who was sitting at home, quickly took control of the situation on the field. In the sixth minute, Hannover full-back Scholz was fouled for handball on the right side of Farfan, and Schalke was awarded a free-kick opportunity.
Ai Huan easily scored this free kick, and the score was rewritten to 1-0, and the fans at the scene seemed to be accustomed to this phenomenon, so for a while, there was no cheering sound like usual, and only Uncle Deepp could be heard excitedly roaring "God has scored for us!"
Schalke played more and more calmly after the goal, firmly controlling the tempo of the game. They came close to doubling their lead in the 14th minute when Draxler picked up a through ball from Ai Phantom in the box and fired a shot from his feet, but Hannover goalkeeper Ziller saved the ball and it was unlucky to keep up with Farfan, who hit the outside of the left post and bounced off.
Twenty minutes later, Hannover's players seemed to have a sudden physical problem, and they looked very confused, and Schalke's advantage on the field was even more obvious, and Hannover could only rely on sporadic counter-attacks to threaten Schalke's hinterland.
In the 28th minute, Hannover took a free-kick on the left edge of the penalty area, and Yaconan's header in the box was weak and cleared by Schalke defender Metzelde, which was also their first attack.
After that, the game was still firmly in Schalke's hands, and in the 34th minute, Fuchs, who had inserted the assist, burst into the box and reversed the triangle back to the middle of the box, Raul followed up with the shot, but unfortunately the play was too right and was blocked by Zeller. Both sides looked a little listless and didn't play better in the first half, but when the referee blew the final whistle for the first half, Schalke went into the half with a 0-0 lead thanks to a goal from Eva.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and Hannover made a personnel change at the beginning of the game, replacing Pandel with Rausch, but this substitution seemed very meaningless, because in the second minute after the start, Pandel made a mistake and allowed Ai Huan to cut off the football in the opponent's hinterland.
Then on the left side of the front of the Hannover penalty area, Ai Huan and Farfan played a one-two combination of hitting the wall, Ai Huan easily entered the small penalty area, and then made a very Raul characteristic pull ball action, easily shook the opposing goalkeeper Zeller, and then hit the ball into the empty goal, and the score became 2-0.
Uncle Deepp laughed, "This ball seems to have been stolen by Ai Huan, Raul, he has a really good sense of the ball now, and when the opportunity comes, he is not like he used to shoot angrily, but it is getting easier and easier, I feel that this year, Ai Huan's level seems to have made great progress." ”
Schalke, who led by two goals, played more easily, and Magath also replaced Ai Huan, replaced by Holtby, Ai Huan went directly to the lounge after he got off the field, his mind today is indeed not on the field, but is very concerned about Anderson's negotiations with the club, since the last time Anderson said that the club may want to force Ai Huan away, Ai Huan began to worry involuntarily.
There was no Eva on the field, but Schalke still firmly occupied the initiative on the field, in the 60th minute they got a corner kick opportunity on the left, Escud Road sent the corner into the box and was cleared out of the box by the Hannover defenders, waiting outside the box Farfan volleyed, after Zeller saved the ball, Joaquin followed the barb to make up the shot, but unfortunately slightly high.
Three minutes later, Fuchs won the ball in the middle and played it straight to Farfan, who cut in quickly on the right flank, who won the ball and dribbled all the way to the right side of the penalty area before crossing the middle, and Raul, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal to score 3-0. Soon after, Magath replaced Raul with Demba Ba, and it seems that he is also a bit of a casual mentality.
Less than a minute after the substitution, Schalke won another free-kick opportunity with Joaquin, Farfan midfielder took a free-kick, and Hovedes, who was ambushed in the box, jumped high to head the goal, but the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and the slow motion of the big screen on the field also showed that Schalke's vice-captain did push the opponent's defender before the header, and the goal was invalid.
'Haha, now you can see that our mentality is really relaxed, now we are only one point away from winning the title again, but unfortunately the next game will be away from home and most of our fans can't go that far and it seems that they can only cheer for their team in front of the TV. ”
