Chapter 253 Invisible Man
Augsburg's goal made the excitement of going to the Schalke Stadium quieter, and Schalke 04 fans were also quite surprised.
But soon, they let out huge boos. Of course, the boos were not directed at Schalke 04, but for Augsburg.
Watching the Augsburg players celebrating on their territory, the Schalke 04 fans were enraged. The loss to Dortmund in the last game was enough to make them angry, but now they can even be defeated by Augsburg at home. An equalizer for Fortuna? Augsburg! Ranked last in the league, do you have the right to act wild in front of us? Hush them!
Just like that, amid huge boos, the game resumed.
It was not only the fans of Schalke 04 who were angered, but also the players of Schalke 04.
After the game restarted, they launched a fierce attack on Augsburg's goal. Looking at their posture, it seemed as if they were going to return the conceded goal tenfold.
But the furious Schalke 04 players seemed to have overlooked one thing. When they pressed forward, there was so much space behind them that the Augsburg players had trouble choosing...
Facing the fierce attack of Schalke 04, Augsburg wisely chose to defend and counterattack.
Moreover, their morale is high after just scoring a goal, the players are full of confidence, and the efficiency of counterattack is naturally different from before...
Therefore, not long after Schalke 04 stormed Augsburg, everyone discovered that in terms of offensive threat, Augsburg was actually greater, because when their counterattack came out, Schalke 04's backcourt There were not many people at all.
"...Since Neuer moved to Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 has not found a replacement for him. This has also put a lot of pressure on their defense. So far this season, Schalke conceded twenty goals. Among the top five in the league, only Werder Bremen conceded more goals than them, but only one more. So what is the normal defensive level of the teams at the top of the league? ? Dortmund conceded nine goals, Monchengladbach conceded nine goals, Bayern Munich conceded even less, only eight goals..."
As Marcel Leif was talking, Schalke 04's attack was blocked by Augsburg. Huntelaar tried to force a breakthrough into the penalty area at the front, but was stopped. Augsburg then launched a quick counterattack and went straight into Schalke 04's half.
At this time, Schalke 04's two full-backs pressed forward and became wingers. Their backcourt was like an endless prairie, allowing Augsburg players to gallop around.
But on the seemingly flat prairie,
But it is not always peaceful and peaceful, and murderous intentions may also be hidden.
Augsburg midfielder Weiner counterattacked with the ball and then passed the football to forward Auel in front.
Auel turned back to watch football and was ready to catch the ball, but just after he caught the ball, he turned his head and saw a blue figure!
"Yang!!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.
There were also loud shouts at the Schalke Stadium, home of Schalke 04.
In the uproar, Yang Muge, who had already reached Auel, made a decisive tackle. Oel hurriedly tried to push the football away, but the football hit Yang Muge's feet, and he himself After jumping over, I could only look back reluctantly and watch the football being left behind by Schalke 04's No. 15...
"Yang Muge, good shot! Beautiful tackle to save the ball!" commentator Duan Xin shouted.
After Yang Muge intercepted the ball, he quickly stood up and passed the football to Holtby, who was returning to defend. However, he did not rush forward himself, but continued to stay in the backcourt and glanced at the Augsburg players warily. of players.
"Lao Yang's kick is so cool!"
"Oh oh oh! Nice tackle!"
In the group, everyone is also very happy.
"By the way, did any of you notice when Lao Yang appeared?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked, making everyone stunned.
"Huh……"
"It seems... I really didn't notice it..."
"It seemed like it suddenly appeared on the TV screen, right?"
The three people replied one after another.
※※※
"Yang Muge! He seemed to suddenly appear in front of Auel, so that Auel didn't react at all!" Marcel Leif said.
It was not just Zhou Yi and Marcel Leif who noticed this. Duan Xin also mentioned the sudden appearance of Yang Muge: "Where was Yang Muge before? I have no memory, but the important thing is that he appeared at the critical moment. He was in a key position and made a key defense!"
The Augsburg players who originally planned to counterattack also didn't come back to their senses and asked why the good counterattack was gone?
However, the Schalke 04 players who had been frantically returning to defense breathed a sigh of relief. They turned around and continued to attack.
Behind them was the half of the huge Schalke 04. Yang Muge did not go up, but still stayed behind.
※※※
"Hey, do you think that Lao Yang is a person with a weak sense of existence?" Zhou Yi continued to ask everyone in the group.
"It seems like this is really the case..."
"Anyway, he doesn't talk much in the group..."
"Not just in the group, he doesn't talk much in reality, okay!" Sun Pan, as Yang Muge's roommate, knows Yang Muge very well.
"So, isn't Lao Yang very pitiful?" Guo asked angrily.
"No." Zhou Yi said. "On the contrary, this characteristic of Lao Yang gives him an advantage in defense..."
"Why?" Sun Pan didn't understand.
"Because everyone can't help but ignore him and treat him as air, which gives him the opportunity to sneak up on him, just like the ball just now." Zhou Yi explained in the group.
"Zhou Yi, why do I think what you said is so mysterious... It feels like Lao Yang has become invisible." Sun Pan said.
"You can understand it this way, Lao Yang is the 'Invisible Man'!"

Although another round of Schalke 04's attack on the court has begun, head coach Stevens' attention seems to be no longer on that. He turned to his assistant coach Sepp Eichkorn and said: " Sepp, did you see that?"
"Nice tackle," Eshkorn said.
"No, I'm talking about what happened before that tackle," Stevens said. "Did you notice how Yang got up there?"
"Uh..." This question stopped Eshkorn in his tracks. He thought about it carefully and then shook his head. "I really can't remember..."
"Hmm...I have no impression either." Stevens also pondered.
He really couldn't remember where he was or what he was doing before Yang Muge suddenly appeared in Auel.
In short, he suddenly appeared in front of the opponent's player, then made a clean tackle, and then handed the football to his teammates. Now Schalke 04 has launched a new offensive, and Yang Muge is still in the backcourt, as if he was in front of him. The hustle and bustle and vanity of the scene have nothing to do with him.
Stevens did not care about his team's offense, but focused on Yang Muge.
He found that he actually didn't know much about this young player who had been in the first team.
He thought about it carefully and found that Yang Muge was not a celebrity in the Schalke 04 team, and there was nothing that could impress him. His character? Very vague. His face was also blurred.
In short, this is a person who is very low-key in the crowd and does not attract much attention. To put it harshly, he has no sense of existence. You can't feel his presence or absence.
It is normal for such a person to have been training with the first team but not play in the game.
He is not the kind of person who makes people think that this person is extraordinary at first glance.
But maybe it was his simple qualities that made me ignore him?
Stevens asked himself in his mind.

Augsburg once again got a chance to fight back. This time, the pass they sent forward was directly pushed back by Yang Muge in the air.
He accurately judged the opponent's passing intention, arrived at the passing route in advance, then jumped high and pushed the football back without anyone interfering at all.
It wasn't a great defense, but it was useful.
In the eyes of those who understand, it is worthy of praise, but in the eyes of those who watch the excitement, it is unremarkable. He just completed the work he was supposed to do.
That being said, how many people can’t even do their own jobs well?
In fact, in today's world, there is always a shortage of people who are in the limelight, but there are far fewer people who are really down-to-earth and willing to do practical things...
After pushing the football back, Yang Muge still didn't move forward. He didn't even cross the center line and still stayed in the backcourt.
But in the eyes of Schalke 04 head coach Stevens, there is a gleam of growing interest.
He originally just wanted to give this young man a chance, with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, but unexpectedly he seemed to have discovered a piece of jade...
In this world, there is a kind of person who is not very eye-catching but very important.
Maybe this silent and low-key Chinese guy is just that kind of person? (To be continued.)
