Chapter 417 After the Game
The Schalke 04 players looked a little absent-minded and very unaccustomed to playing on the pitch today.
In the past, when playing at home, you can always see a blue and white ocean when you look up. This ocean is mainly composed of flags waving by fans.
But today, you can only see the crowd. If it weren't for the jerseys on the fans, no one would be able to tell whether they were home fans or away fans...
The flags that flew in the past are gone today, but the flagpole is still there, but it is used for other purposes.
A close-up of Magath suddenly appeared on the big screen in the stadium...
Half a second later, violent boos suddenly sounded!
Ren raised the flagpole high, and the banner above his head read: "USSER VEREIN IST KEINE DIKTATUR!"
"Our club should not be a dictator." Sun Wu muttered something in Chinese, shook his head slightly and said to Hao Junmin next to him: "It's quite uncreative, and it's quite unliterary. There should be no more than ten people who wrote this slogan. Five years old..."
Hao Junmin looked at Sun Wu dumbfounded, and now Magath has internal and external troubles... You must know that I was bought in the name of Magath, and your Sun Wu is also the most important direct descendant of Magath.
"Okay, you go a little further, don't worry about returning to defense, you are a winger in this game, even if St Pauli wants to counterattack, they will not choose your side." Sun Wu returned his attention to the game.
Although Schalke 04 is a little absent-minded from the players to the head coach and even the fans, the newly promoted St. Pauli's strength is too weak and there is almost no resistance.
After two weeks of double matches in a row, there is no German Cup task in the future. The next round of the Champions League group stage will have to wait until two weeks later. Magath chose to carry out a large rotation to let some of the main players rest.
Farfan, Raul, Fuchs, and Metzelder are all on the bench, but the two most important players of the team are still on the field, one is the playmaker Sun Wu, and the other is the goal machine Mandzukic.
In the alternation of applause and boos, Schalke 04 opened the door to victory in the 25th minute.
Draxler took a corner kick and was cleared. Sun Wu from the periphery immediately headed back into the penalty area. Sun Wu, who has a "God's perspective", naturally did not just head the ball back casually.
Matip, who was inserted in the back row, successfully reversed offside, and the header was ferried to the middle. Mandzukic shoveled and scored.
St. Pauli wants to stand out but is limited by his strength. It is almost difficult for the midfielder to pass more than three feet. He can only send forward with big feet whenever he has a chance, and let the striker chase the ball. The chance of creating a threat in this way is very low.
Towards the end of the first half, Mandzukic scored his 21st goal of the season.
Schalke 04's midfielder kept making horizontal adjustments. Sun Wu suddenly started to attract attention and then divided the ball. Hitzelsperger's explosive shot from outside the penalty area was barely saved by the goalkeeper. Mandzukic scored with a header.
The applause sounded in the stands, and Sun Wu, who ran to the north stand, saw a banner with sharp eyes saying, "Mario, don't go!"
Sun Wu twitched his lips. To be honest, the current Mandzukic is a bit different from the Mandzukic he remembered in his previous life.
In his previous life, Mandzukic was not a striker with a high scoring rate.
At least he moved to the Bundesliga, La Liga, and Serie A and failed to get the top scorer.
"Tactical puzzle center", Mandzukic can provide the team with a stable number of goals every season, and is very versatile. He can stand at the forefront as a tactical fulcrum, can pull the side, and is willing to participate in defense. He has a strong will and a high mental attribute. But it's not the kind of striker who can score goals, and has the shortcomings of slow speed and explosive power.
But now... Mandzukic, who has just landed in the top competition, has scored more than 20 goals in three crazy months after coming to Schalke 04. This is a statistic that can compete with Ronaldo and Messi.
In fact, Sun Wu has nothing to do in the past few days and has counted the distribution of Mandzukic's goals, and a considerable part of them are supplementary shots... This is due to his efforts and also due to the opponent's lack of vigilance.
Sun Wu is not very optimistic that Mandzukic's crazy state can continue. Perhaps one day the Croatian will fall into a vicious circle of not being able to score...
Mandzukic scored twice in the first half and basically killed the game. Magath replaced Cavani at halftime to let Mandzukic rest.
"Edinson, don't be nervous, shoot when you have a chance, pass the ball if you don't have a chance."
Sun Wu comforted Cavani who was a little nervous in a low voice. The Uruguayan striker has come off the bench twice, but his performance was quite poor.
St. Pauli had given up in the second half, but they did not give up their offense.
They don't expect to score points in this game, but they must at least score a goal to keep that bit of dignity. In this case, Cavani's speed and impact can be maximized.
"Brilliant through ball, Cavani... a big trip!"
"Schalke 04's counterattack! Best... oh oh, the accurate long pass found China Artemisia, and the cross...unbelievable! The Uruguayan striker missed the ball!"
Adam Simpson's sighs would be heard every few minutes, and Mandzukic on the bench was expressionless but gloating.
Although Mandzukic's range of motion and running ability is much better than that of Kuranyi last season, speed is not his strong point after all, so Sun Wu didn't give Mandzukic a lot of through balls.
In the forty-five minutes of the second half, Sun Wu sent Cavani six through balls behind him, two of which were judged offside, one time Cavani failed to get the ball, one time he was destroyed, and only two times he succeeded. The ball was shot, but it was a pity that it missed the target... I can't blame Mandzukic for gloating.
But this game... the game process and the score are not the point!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Sun Wu immediately turned to look at captain Westerman, but he couldn't find anyone.
In the North Stand, a fan closest to the pitch yelled and threw a big bag to Westermann and Neuer in the stands.
Schalke 04 players slowly gathered under the North Stand, including Sun Wu.
Every time after a home game, no matter what his teammates do, Sun Wu will always go to the home fans to express his thanks. For this reason, the team equipment manager also complained that Sun Wu's jersey is the most frequently changed by the whole team...
According to the habit, he rolled his jersey into a ball and threw it into the stands. Sun Wu supported Hao Junmin's shoulder and pointed to a banner on the stand with a smile, "Look! 'We don't want dictators'. This slogan is good. It is concise and expressive. precise!"
Hao Junmin, whose face was all stiff, was in the mood to joke with Sun Wu, looking at Neuer's movements out of the corner of his eye, and whispered in Sun Wu's ear, "What should I do?"
"What should I do?" Sun Wu smiled, "Cold salad!"
Under such circumstances, can Schalke 04 punish Westermann and Neuer, two captains and vice-captains who came from local youth training camps?
When a player and Magath have a conflict, the club will definitely favor the player... This is for sure, and this is why Sun Wu is not optimistic about Magath.
Sun Wu's status is quite special. Although he is Magath's number one confidant, he is also the core of the team's organization, the team's trump card, and the number one contributor to the team's double crown last season.
But Hao Junmin is different. If he wants to stay in Schalke 04, he can't offend his teammates.
"Go." Sun Wu pushed Hao Junmin, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mandzukic too...
After Hao Junmin walked over, Sun Wu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the T-shirt on Neuer who walked over. There was something written on it...
Suddenly, the corner of Sun Wu's mouth twitched, how much the person who designed the T-shirt hated Magath!
