For the last round of the game, all the generals were in a bit of a slump, this time Magath made adjustments, but he also knows that some things can not be solved by just changing people, this time he is facing the psychological problems of everyone, and if you want to pass this level, you still have to have a heavyweight come out to press the field.

So the day after the last round, the president of the club appeared in front of the players, this time he not only brought the promised winning bonus, but also brought them a new commitment, and announced that the club's marketing work has been done well this year, and the naming rights to Schalke have recently been sold, so the club is very well funded, there is absolutely no problem, which also makes the players finally put their minds at ease.

However, it is a pity that Proud Schalke has changed its name, and it will be called Fieldings Arena in the future, but this kind of name is not as exciting as Proud Schalke, but this is also a helpless thing, who can fight against money?

And the club's fans have also expressed their dissatisfaction, and some even put forward the idea of boycotting, but what makes people feel strange is that Uncle Deep, who has always regarded himself as a fan leader, has never said it publicly, and those fan leaders who have always looked forward to him have not followed suit, so even if there will be some fans lost, it will definitely not hurt the muscles and bones, which is a good thing for the club.

But at this point, it is almost February, and the biennial Africa Cup of Nations is about to begin, which is almost the nightmare of all European clubs, and a large number of key players are leaving, who can stand this kind of thing? And Schalke also has two people who have left, one is Demba Ba of Senegal, who has been in excellent form recently, and the other is the captain of the Cameroon national team, Matip, both of whom are the main players of their national team, how can they go to the Africa Cup of Nations, and at least they will not leave until the end of the group stage, Schalke has no way to do this.

However, there is good news, at least in the middle of the week, Hovedes and Raul have already started training with the team, and they are both ready to play, so that at least the need can be relieved. Farfan, on the other hand, will not be able to play for this game due to a muscle strain in training, while Holtby has not recovered from his injury, and these people have become part of Schalke's injury list.

Mainz's 3-1 home win over Freiburg last time out, with striker Choupo-Moting scoring twice, Polanski scoring a penalty and providing an assist, and bringing in Zidan, the team brought in Zidan for the third time before the winter window closed, but they weren't actually much better. The main striker Alagi is also going to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, and the central defender Svensson, midfielders Ivan Schitz and Reese continue to recuperate from injuries, which is actually not much different from Schalke.

But what really makes all Schalke players and fans feel incredible is that Uncle Deepp did not appear in this game, you must know that his attendance rate is more than any Schalke player, as long as he is at home, he will appear rain or shine, but who knows why he suddenly disappeared?

Ai Huan also called him as soon as possible, but the problem was that Uncle Deepp didn't turn on the phone at all, which also made Ai Huan have to play with suspicion.

Magath also made special arrangements for this game to deal with the current situation. The goalkeeper is still Zhang Chong, Krisito in the back line is resting, Fuchs is in the left wing-back position, and Hegg is the right wing-back, and the center-back combination is Hovides and Metzelde, these two are also Schalke's best center-back combination. Midfielder Evan was still on the pitch, but in this game he played in a central midfield position, with Draxler linking up with him, while Juan Mata and Joaquín formed the Spanish wings, Schalke reverted to a parallel position, and the forward line was made up of Raul and Pukki.

After the start of the game, Schalke used the home advantage to constantly put pressure on the opponent's backline, but probably because there was no Deepp to organize the fans to cheer, the scene was a bit chaotic, and the fans kept cheering loudly, but it was far from the past form.

In the ninth minute, Ai Huan once again used his speedy midfield play to create a threat, Mata half-high ball diagonally crossed, Pukki directly killed to cause a single knife, but the push was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and Joaquín followed up with a follow-up shot that hit the post directly.

In the seventeenth minute, Ai Huan launched a long ball attack, and Raul got the ball outside the penalty area and volleyed directly before the football landed, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Mainz had their first chance on goal in the 18th minute, when Polanski broke down wide and crossed for Motings to be comfortably denied by goalkeeper Zhang Chong.

In the 30th minute, Schalke had another good chance, Ai Huan advanced quickly after a successful break in midfield, found a defensive space on the right side of the box with a cross from the edge of the box, and the unguarded Mata volleyed directly, but the ball grazed the far post and went wide. In the 34th minute, Juan Mata took the ball and split the side, Pukki quickly cut in and curled the ball into the cross, and Raul's cushion shot from inside the box was slightly wide.

In the 37th minute, Ai Huan passed to Draxler, the youngster shook off the defense and passed the ball to the back point, and Rauldon pressed the opponent's defender's header to hit the goal.

Mainz then launched a counter-attack, but the ball was cut off by Illusory in midfield, and then again a quick counter-attack, Pukki scrambled to win the ball and then sent a through ball, and Juan Mata slotted in quickly from behind them, but the linesman signalled for offside. The decision also sparked dissatisfaction among the fans and players on the pitch, with many players arguing around the referee, but it didn't change anything.

The rest of the game looked a little pale, neither side came up with anything better, and Mainz didn't seem to think of any good way, so they followed Schalke on the field for a while, but neither side came up with better substance.

At halftime, as soon as Ai Phantom walked into the players' tunnel, he saw Deepp walking inside.

"Where have you been?" Ai Huan immediately asked.

Uncle Dipper looked very tired, but just smiled reluctantly, "The plane is late, and I rushed back as soon as possible." You guys play well in the second half, beat them, you can't just let them go to Schalke like that. Hehe, it seems to have changed its name now. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take them, just see. But what have you been up to lately?"

"It's all the little things, and they've been taken care of. Dip smiled wearily.
