Magath comes home!

  Friday afternoon.

  FC Schalke 04's special plane landed inside Wolfsburg Airport.

  The league has reached its most critical point.

  And in the penultimate round, FC Schalke 04 will play FC Bayern München!

  This game, for both Bayern and Dortmund, is one of the most crucial.

  Three teams are still biting off more than they can chew in the standings right now.

  Familiar airports!

  Familiar passages!

  Magath held his glasses up as he walked slowly forward!

  His ears suddenly rang with the familiar sound of the airport announcement, it seemed that even the announcer at the airport was the same person as three years ago, only, he had been away from here for a long time.

  "Mr Magath, may I have your autograph?"

  A little boy suddenly ran up to Magath.

  He was wearing a white and green VfL Wolfsburg jersey, holding a signing pen and looking at Magath with an expectant face.

  It might not have been nice to have Magath sign his name on a VfL Wolfsburg jersey now that he's the head coach of Schalke, but look at the expectant look in the little boy's eyes.

  Magath smiled and stroked the little boy's head before signing his name on the VfL Wolfsburg jersey.

  The city gave him so many memories!

  Not only the little boy, but many of the people passing by nodded in unison towards Magath.

  Yeah!

  At one time he was a hero of the city!

  He brought the city the Bundesliga trophy which they had never touched.

  That feeling of being treated like a hero of the city is really so nice.

  In the first half of the season, FC Schalke 04 won 2:0 at home against Wolfsburg.

  Wolfsburg was still fifth in the league at that point, keeping their hopes of making the Europa League alive.

  But now what?

  Wolfsburg have dropped to 10th in the standings and are not only hopeless in Europe, but are at risk of relegation at any time.

  This is all too common for the rest of the Bundesliga.

  Fucking FC Bayern München!

  The thought of VfL Wolfsburg deepened Magath's resentment towards Bayern.

  The next day, acclimatising to the field in training.

  Magath didn't do anything specifically tactical against VfL Wolfsburg.

  This FC Schalke 04 lineup and playing style is now perfect.

  A very fortunate thing is that other than Raul, the rest of the FC Schalke 04 crew doesn't have much in the way of injuries.

  Su was sparing Midfield as usual.

  Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  It has to be said!

  In Magath's opinion, with Su present, the entire team's tempo and line-outs are completely out of his hands to shout about.

  Every kick out of Su's hand looks like it's been calculated by a computer!

  He always gets the football where he should be most.

  The only problem now, is that the rest of the FC Schalke 04 positions are slowly getting a bit out of step with Su.

  Every time Su played the ball, it was clear to see that he would purposely slow down the ball slightly to ensure that the others would be able to catch the football without any problems!

  It's like...

  A Santana with a Bugatti Veyron engine!

  It runs and crushes every other car of its type, but the limitations of the other components make them completely inadequate for the full load of the super-engine that is the Su!

  "Gaffer! Sources have confirmed that Neuer has reached a private agreement with Bayern!"

  Hughes came up to Magath's side and snuck in.

  "Eh!"

  Watching Magath's lack of reaction, Hughes closes his mouth as well.

  Despite all the gossip that has been going around these days, Magath is having none of it.

  Maybe the old man resigned himself to his fate.

  Actually Hughes himself understands that not many of Schalke's current group of players will be able to stay with the team at the end of this season.

  On the field!

  Su played a windy heeled cross to the feet of Baby Baumann!

  Baby Baumann takes a powerful shot that goes straight into the corner.

  "Yoo-hoo Baumann, you guys are getting more and more consistent with your long range shots lately!"

  Watching Baby Baumann's shot so beautifully, Su and Hao were laughing and gathered around!

  "Haha, I've been practising lately, just like dear Su! At least a hundred long shots a day!"

  Looking at the disciples on the field who were cheeky and relaxed to the core!

  Magath smiled back with satisfaction.

  Regardless of what the future holds, this season, he's going to at least do what he did the Wolfsburg year and help FC Schalke 04 get their first Bundesliga title in team history.

  This way...

  He Magath also became the most decorated manager in the history of Bundesliga, there are at least two cities that will never forget him Magath for the rest of his life!

  ...........

  Sunday's at 7pm!

  The bus carrying the entire FC Schalke 04 team slowly rolled into the Volkswagen Arena.

  As soon as she got out of the car, Magath made light work of her way to the pre-match conference.

  Still a familiar crest, a familiar launch, and even a few of those journalists sitting in the front row, Magath, were familiar.

  Only, unlike before, this time he was sitting in the visiting manager's seat!

  On the other side of the room, current VfL Wolfsburg head coach Stephen McClaren watched Magath arrive and nodded his head.

  "Mr Magath! Returning to the Volkswagen Arena, I wonder what you think?"

  This is the first question Magath needs to answer!

  "Grace! Very nostalgic! I had two of the best years here! I remember everything I experienced in this stadium!"

  "I also remember everything about holding the Bundesliga trophy in this stadium!"

  "Wolfsburg is a great team, and of course, they have an even greater group of fans!"

  "Snap!"

  After Magath's speech, a number of journalists at the venue started applauding Magath's statement.

  A large part of the scene was filled with local VfL Wolfsburg journalists.

  Like the fans, they were thankful for the stubborn old man.

  .........

  From the pre-game press conference to Magath walking onto the pitch!

  It seemed as if everything today was dedicated to Magath.

  The North Stand at the Volkswagen Arena!

  VfL Wolfsburg fans were there with a huge banner!

  "Welcome Home, Dear Felix Magath!

  As soon as Magath walked into the stadium!

  The live DJ also chanted Magath's name in response!

  After!

  All 30,000 VfL Wolfsburg fans in the stadium were on their feet!

  Facing the old man with white hair who had just walked in from the players' tunnel, they delivered their most sincere applause!

  "VfL Wolfsburg fans still seem to remember Magath's favour!"

  "Bringing a city a trophy they haven't touched in a century!"

  "Maybe VfL Wolfsburg fans will never forget Magath in their lifetime!"

  "We China only made it to the World Cup once in '02, and to this day, all the fans still miss Milutinovi?!"

  "Compared to others, we are much more pitiful!"

  Inside the live feed!

  Duan was also envious as he  looked at all the banners, photos and whatnot that VfL Wolfsburg fans were getting for Magath!

  "Hey! But I think Magath is quite miserable!"

  "Go anywhere, bring up a crowd, then get robbed by Bayern!"

  "Ahem!"

  "Oh! We still want to see the starting line-ups for both sides!"

  Duan looked at Wang's mouth and coughed helplessly!

  -[Haha, Dr.Wang is poisonous, I was just immersed in the sad memories of Magath's homecoming, and I can't help but laugh at one of Dr.Wang's words now, and I'm even starting to sympathise with Magath!

  -Magath is really miserable, get up a team, just use it for a year, and then all kinds of big sale at the end of the season! Haha!

  -Magath doesn't go to Football Giants, he pulls the strings every time!

  -[Haha, isn't the football variety show doing a top10? I think we can have a top 10 worst managers, the first and second will go directly to Magath, no one can beat them!
