"Su, do you get up this early every day?"

  Five o'clock in the morning.

  Vardy was on his way to the loo when he suddenly noticed that in the gym, Su had started sweating on the treadmill.

  This puts Vardy is a shock that almost closes his mouth.

  "Yeah, I'm used to it, get some sleep, you'll probably still have a chance to make your debut in the league at the weekend!"

  Su wiped his sweat, then turned to Vardy.

  Since Vardy moved into his house.

  Vardy automatically takes on all roles.

  Su had said there was a maid to clean, but Vardy said he couldn't be bothered, not only was he in charge of the daily hygiene, but the man also did all the breakfast.

  Well, Su grudgingly agreed to do so in order to put Vardy's mind at ease.

  After finding out that Su was waking up so early in the morning to train like hell, Vardy followed Su's lead.

  Only, without SYSTEM he lasted two days.

  It couldn't be helped, that kind of intense training was too scary for him who wasn't really physically dominant himself.

  And he's 23, so honestly the techniques and all that are pretty much set in stone, and the extra training has improved, but not by much anymore.

  Bundesliga Round 20 at the weekend.

  FC Schalke 04 is still riding high.

  Facing the visiting Cologne.

  The Midfielder duo of Su and Baumann crushed it again.

  Su's tandem made the game completely one-sided!

  Just eight minutes into the game.

  Su then assisted Hao to score a great outside-the-box shot from the right side.

  Su didn't bind the perfect partner card for Hao in this match!

  During this time, as Hao's form and self-confidence improved.

  His individual abilities have also increased by leaps and bounds.

  At least for this goal, he scored it after picking up the ball and dribbling away from Cologne Full - back who was in his way.

  Hao sweetly hugged Raul after the goal.

  And then compares peaches to the camera.

  Well, it wasn't until later that Su realised that it happened to be Ivy's birthday and that Hao had given the goal to his wife!

  The scoreline left Cologne wanting and planning to organise a proper counter-attack.

  However, FC Schalke 04, whose playing style is maturing, were completely undeterred by Cologne's painless counter-attacks.

  Nineteenth minute of play.

  Schalke added another goal.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Su used La Croqueta's clever drilling from the huddle in the attacking third before finding Raul in the box with a through - pass.

  Raul connects with a leg kick.

  Once again, the football penetrated the Cologne gate.

  2:0!

  Su assists net a brace.

  After this.

  Perhaps resistance was abandoned.

  Cologne completely retreated their entire defence back into their own penalty area and set up a direct bus!

  This complete abandonment of the face-saving tactic of swinging the bus left FC Schalke 04 with nothing to lose.

  The score didn't change again in the first half after that.

  And Vardy, who was on fire all over Europe during this period, came on as a substitute seventy minutes into the second half.

  "Vardy!"

  "Vardy!"

  "Vardy!"

  What was a bit of a surprise to everyone was when Vardy stood on the sidelines for Hao.

  Veltins-Arena actually rang out with a punchline.

  It's amazing that a substitute making his second appearance in total is getting the same treatment as Su.

  It's the envy of the rest of the FC Schalke 04 crew, too.

  And every time Vardy touched the ball, the Veltins-Arena resounded with earth-shattering chants.

  Under this incentive!

  Vardy lived up to the hype.

  Ninth minute after coming on!

  Vardy receives a slant from Su on the right.

  And then a direct right-footed shot from the outside of the foot!

  That's a close one for Vardy!

  I have to say that Vardy is really a little bit too strong when it comes to shooting ability.

  The man's stickhandling completely flustered Cologne goalkeeper, who had been catching high and blocking low.

  The football was drilled into the dead centre without a hint of surprise.

  The DJ at the venue was even hysterical, shouting out long-silent slogans!

  As for the fans, and the reporters on the sidelines!

  All calling out Vardy's name like crazy.

  Later in the game, FC Schalke 04 also gave up their attack.

  Eventually!

  In the twentieth round of Bundesliga, FC Schalke 04 defeated Cologne 3:0 at home.

  And soon, an even more exciting news for fans came!

  In the distant Allianz Arena!

  Bayern lost the game!

  They lost to Borussia M?nchengladbach!

  And it's still a bit of a mind-boggling 0:2!

  Bayern's loss allowed FC Schalke 04 to overtake FC Bayern München and do a direct second place in the league!

  And now, ahead of FC Schalke 04, there is only Klopp's Dortmund!

  All of this!

  Including the UCL, it seems to be a sign that this season, FC Schalke 04 will be the biggest dark horse in Germany!

  Only, just as everyone was waiting with great excitement for the upcoming UCL elimination match!

  The Bundesliga's twenty-first round of league matches cast a shadow over the psyche of all FC Schalke 04 fans!

  Raul is injured!

  Face Mainz on the road!

  Magath rotated most of his players for the midweek league game.

  It also made the game extremely tough to play at the start.

  Midfield, controlled by Boujellab, becomes vulnerable under the frantic pressure of the Mainz players.

  Forty-five minutes played in the first half.

  Magath's FC Schalke 04 unexpectedly went down 0:1!

  This forced Magath to also replace Su, Raul and Klaas - Jan Huntelaar, the three starters, straight into the half-time break!

  Su and others came on and turned the game 180 degrees directly in place!

  Mainz's ferocious pressing continues.

  But Su's seemingly extremely painful fall to the ground time and time again cost them three yellow cards.

  And right after the Mainz Midfielder players all dyed yellow, Su started his own show at Midfield.

  Fifty-seventh minute of play!

  Su swung a lefty cut away from Mainz defensive midfielder and then found Klaas - Jan Huntelaar, who had dipped in from the left, with an outswinging rainbow pass!

  Facing the incoming ball, Klaas - Jan Huntelaar doesn't make any adjustments with an overhead kick and scores!

  1:1!

  Sixty-ninth minute of the subsequent game!

  Su and Klaas - Jan Huntelaar played a perfect two-on-two down the left before a diagonal kick gave the ball to Raul in the box.

  And just as Raul is about to hit the door.

  Mainz centre - back but shovels Raul directly from behind.

  Raul collapses in an instant and falls to the ground in agony.

  Although the referee showed a red card and awarded a penalty!

  But it was the look of Raul's pain that struck a chord in the hearts of all the FC Schalke 04 fans in attendance and even in front of the TV!

  You know, all season long, FC Schalke 04 has managed to get this far.

  Apart from Su's countless assists, the other thing he relies on is Raul's consistent goal conversion rate!

  It's no exaggeration to say that Raul's consistent shooting is what guarantees that FC Schalke 04 will go second in the league ahah!

  The FC Schalke 04 players didn't even celebrate despite Klaas - Jan Huntelaar's penalty.

  One by one, they looked over to Raul, who was being carried to the ambulance on the sidelines.

  Later in the game, a disinterested FC Schalke 04 also gave up on continuing their attack.

  2:1!

  FC Schalke 04 won the marquee battle in the coach.

  After finishing the game, the whole FC Schalke 04 team also rushed to the hospital in droves to wait for the report on Raul's injury!
