So towards the end of the first half, he made a second substitution, replacing Holtby with veteran Sharpe, and pushing Ai Huan up front again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sape is thirty-five years old, and after transferring to this place last year, he originally wanted to leave but never found a home, so Schalke also left him, anyway, Magath is willing to leave an experienced old player, and Sappe also wants to retire here, who knows that it was only in the second round of the game, Schalke's backline had a huge crisis, and he even had a chance to play, so he was naturally immediately ready to replace the unwilling Holtby.

Joaquín's performance has been outstanding, he has quickly adapted to his position, playing very seriously on the board, and now with the addition of an Ai Phantom, Schalke immediately took the full initiative.

In the 43rd minute, after Ai Huan won the ball in midfield, he immediately distributed the ball to the left side, and Mata did not rush in after winning the ball, but chose to cross into the penalty area. McKenna protruded in front of him to push the football out of the penalty area, but it was a half-high ball, which made it difficult for him to deal with, and the football was about to fly out of his control range after a little hesitation, and at this time Farfan behind him had already been lightning out, in a desperate situation, he had to reach out and expel the football out of the penalty area, on the surface he still made a head shake, trying to deceive the referee.

But the ball was a bit too blunt, and the referee in the best position immediately blew the whistle, not only awarded a penalty but also sent it off with a red card, for which McKengh didn't even make a defense, and left the field without looking back.

"Penalty, penalty!" Deepp shouted as the crowd roared along, and there was nothing better than that.

However, at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ai Huan's body, because Magath said off the field that all the set-pieces on the field were designated by Ai Huan, so everyone had to look at him a little warmly, because everyone knew that Ai Huan never played penalty kicks, so he would definitely give this opportunity to others.

"Mata, I'll leave it to you. Ai Huan didn't say anything in particular, but said casually when he walked past Mata, "Don't let me down." The latter sentence is a bit ridiculous.

Mata didn't say anything but walked straight up, he stood in front of the ball and exhaled softly, then began to retreat, every step was calculated, and when the referee's whistle blew, he accelerated and fired a low shot into the bottom left corner of the goal, and the score was also dressed up to make it 1-1.

It was Mata's first league goal and he immediately ran to the sidelines excitedly and interacted with the fans off the pitch, who were naturally happy with the equaliser, so the crowd cheered, and the first half was over, with both sides quickly exiting and returning to the lounge.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Cologne made no substitutions, but they made tactical changes in the second half, moving the formation back and the players all retreated to their own half, trying to put a bus in front of their own door to hold on to the draw, but the problem was that they still struggled to do so.

Just two minutes into the opening game, Joaquin made a short pass to Ai Fan, who suddenly accelerated his charge from the right side, and used the accelerated change of direction to shake off the defense of multiple players in a row and then passed the football to the back post, and Mata on the other side quickly followed up with a header to overtake the score.

It was like Ai Phantom putting the ball over Mata's head, just a little tap. In the Chinese studio, Xie Quan laughed, as long as he saw Ai Huan's performance, he couldn't help but be excited.

"Why do I think Ai Huan's skills seem to have improved again?" Tao Wei also couldn't help but sigh, he felt very comfortable watching this kind of goal, Ai Huan's real power is not that he keeps scoring goals, but that he can make his teammates also have excellent performances, which is the quality that a superstar should have.

Just as they were discussing the goal, the scene changed again. It was less than a minute before the game started again, Ai Huan suddenly stepped forward, cut off the ball when the opponent had not reacted, and then easily got rid of Petsko's defense and rushed directly to the opponent's penalty area, several defenders of Cologne were all desperately back to defend, trying to stop Ai Huan's assault, but just when they were not stable, Ai Huan had already passed the football out again, and the unguarded Gundogan quickly followed up and pushed the lower right corner to score, turning the score into 3-1.

Gundogan was so excited after the goal that he ran straight to Ai Huan and hugged him, and the guy finally scored his first league goal for Schalke, and as a Gelsenkirchen he was of course cheered by the fans.

"Haha, our God doesn't just score goals but also passes, you would be naïve to think he's just a goal machine, he's an all-around superplayer, he's a god in Schalke's number 49 shirt. Deep's voice echoed across the pitch and the shouts immediately stirred everyone up, and everything changed less than three minutes into the second half.

This blow also made Cologne feel helpless, with one man behind by two goals, and in this situation, they could only delay the game as much as possible, hoping not to lose too ugly today.

Schalke, on the other hand, played with a boom and the midfield was running very well, which also gave them a huge advantage on the pitch and quickly set off an attacking wave. In the 59th minute, Fuchs attacked the side and Ai Huan made a collision with the wall, directly to the edge of the opponent's penalty area, but his cross was pushed out of the penalty area by the opposing defender, but Ai Huan still passed the football into the penalty area again at the first time, this time he passed the flat ball, the ball speed was fast but like a scalpel directly tore open the opponent's back line, just passed to the feet of Mata, after Mata got the ball, he made a feint to shake the opponent's goalkeeper Rensing down and then easily pushed the far corner to score, turning the score into four to one, he also completed his hat trick, naturally excited, ran to the bench and hugged a group of substitute players。

"Everybody saw Mata's hat-trick, but let's not forget that Ai Fan also scored his own hat-trick in this game, it's horrible to be a player like that, and thanks to him he belongs to us, I can't help but be happy when I think about it. Xie Quan couldn't help but laugh again as he spoke.
