Chapter 351: The Ending (Part II)
"What? What are you kidding? Neuer wants to go? Where is he going?" "Illusory had jumped to his feet, looking at Deepp in disbelief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dipper shrugged his shoulders: "I was just as surprised as you when I heard the news, because I always thought that as our vice-captain Neuer was the second best contributor to this season after you, and we had won the championship should be enough to keep him, but who knows that it was him who was sure to leave." However, there is nothing surprising that after all, not everyone can resist Bayern's invitation, and the German players have some unclear feelings about Bayern. ”
"He's going to Bayern?" Ai Huannian muttered, and then couldn't help but be a little deflated, it is true that not everyone can resist the temptation of Bayern, but in this way, Schalke's most stable place has become the most unstable place, and it seems that there are still many things to do next season.
Just when Ai Huan's mind was in a mess, the game had already begun. As it was the last game and neither side had any real goals, the two sides played very openly after the start, while Schalke continued their slump after the title, and the Cologne team playing at home was in a strong attack.
In the fifth minute, Yayalo passed the ball and Novakovic shot wide of Neuer. In the ninth minute, Petit's free-kick from the edge of the box was directly on goal for Neuer.
It wasn't until the 11th minute that Schalke had the first chance when centre-back Mohammed made a mistake and his cross from the back was denied by Raul, but the Spanish striker's shot went high. After that, the two sides fell into a brief stalemate, but Schalke's sluggish form is still difficult to improve.
In the 25th minute, Cologne scored first, Bretzko crossed from the right, Hovides unfortunately slipped and the unmarked Novakovic scored with a left-footed volley at the back post to take a 1-0 lead.
Schalke returned the favor immediately after conceding the goal, Papadopoulos swooped down and then passed the ball to Raul, who struck a powerful shot from 20 yards out, but the ball went wide of the right post.
Magath made a substitution immediately after conceding the goal, with Draxler coming on for the sleepwalking Jurado. In the 36th minute, Draxler, who had just come on the pitch, received a wonderful pass from Farfan in the penalty area, but his shot did not hit the power and was directly confiscated by Rensing, and Schalke fell behind 0-1 in the first half.
Deepe couldn't help but shake his head, and said regretfully: "Now Schalke is in a state of mind, without you, he is actually a second-rate team, and it seems that it will take a lot of effort to change." ”
Ai Huan was in a very bad mood because he had just learned that Neuer was leaving, so he didn't speak again, just looked at the screen in a daze. Dip also saw his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Don't be too low, as far as I know, Schalke has a good financial situation this year, so they have allocated at least 30 million to prepare for the next transfer wave, so we still have hope." ”
"Oh, who can you buy for 30 million?" Ai Huan couldn't help but be interested.
Dipper smiled hesitantly, "If we can still buy players like you, then we can have three of you, so who is worried about anything, we will soon become the number one team in the universe." ”
"Damn!" Ai Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes, how could there be such a good thing?
In the second half, there were no substitutions on both sides of the rematch, and the scene began to fall into a stalemate. It wasn't until the 55th minute that Farfan took a free kick from 18 meters from the goal, but it was caught by Lensing, who had been prepared. Cologne then launched a counter-attack, with Metzelder bringing down Novakovic as he jumped into the penalty area, but referee Schmidt refused to award a penalty
In the 60th minute of the game, Cologne scored another goal, Yayalo fired a powerful right-footed shot from 20 meters from the goal, the ball grazed the underside of the crossbar and went into the net, Cologne led 2-0.
After that, Cologne gradually relaxed their attack, and their relaxation also gave Schalke the opportunity to attack, in the 71st minute Raul made a clever pass to Pukki, the Pole's shot was saved by Rensing, Farfan's follow-up shot did not hit the target, and the ball flew directly out of the penalty area.
The game continued, Schalke's attack finally improved, and their midfield gradually found some feeling, in the 87th minute, Papadopoulos crossed from the right, Raul scored with a header at the first time, this time the football finally did not joke with the Spaniards, and flew into the goal smoothly, and the score was also made 1-2.
'That's what Raul is capable of, even if our midfield isn't good enough, he can still take advantage of the opportunity and it's an honour to keep this guy. Dip couldn't help but say sincerely.
"To be honest, it's also an honor to play with a player like Raul, and I've learned a lot from playing with him. ”
The day after the game, Schalke's whole team returned to Gelsenkirchen, Ai Huan also came to the club early to report, the players heard the news that he had returned, so they didn't leave, but they all met with Ai Huan, no matter what everyone was thinking, at this time they saw Ai Huan but all were full of smiles, hugging Ai Huan affectionately, but no one mentioned Ai Huan's previous goodbye.
Magath also deliberately called Ai Huan to his office, he felt that he needed to have a good talk with this general, "Have you solved all your problems?" Magath didn't know how to start this conversation, so that's what he said.
Ai Huan smiled slightly, "At this time, I feel that I am in very good shape, I should be able to win any opponent, and I have also decided to go down with Schalke, but I need to know Schalke's real goal next year, are you ready to tell me?"
Magath also knew about Ai Huan's purchase of a house in Gelsenkirchen, so he already knew Ai Huan's determination to stay, and now when he heard Ai Huan's request, he just wanted to know about next year, and immediately said with a smile: "Although the season is over, we still have a German Cup final that has not started, so it is still a bit far to mention this, but I can guarantee that we will not disappoint you." You see, this is the plan I came up with, and the names on it are all our goals. As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Ai Huan.
Ai Huan didn't look at it, but asked directly, "I heard that Neuer is leaving, is it true?"
Magath sighed, "It's true, but his value is at least 20 million, which means that our next transfer funds have been increased to at least 50 million, what does this mean, you shouldn't understand, right?"
