"The Stuttgart manager went too far with his pre-match comments!"

  "Magath's face is still icy cold this time around!"

  "Ah! That's the tragedy of small clubs!"

  "But this season, Magath has been absolutely flawless!"

  "With a squad like this, it's incredible they've pushed Bayern and Dortmund to maintain this title race until now!"

  "Chance!!!"

  "Hao!!!!"

  "Beautiful!!!!"

  "It's in!!!"

  "Goal!!!"

  "Hao!!!"

  "7th minute!"

  "Hao opens the scoring for Schalke 04!"

  "Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's headed pass finds Hao's alert run at the far post!"

  "Schalke 04 take the lead!"

  "1-0!!!"

  Inside the studio of China's national sports channel,

  Duan Xuan shouted excitedly, slamming the newly replaced stainless steel desk in the broadcast room.

  Though this time, his celebration was slightly more restrained compared to his usual passionate outbursts.

  After all, Schalke 04's opponents were just Stuttgart.

  On the pitch at Mercedes-Benz Arena,

  Hao instinctively lifted his jersey after scoring, revealing large handwritten words on his white undershirt:

  "I love Ivy"

  Alright...

  The man is handing out dog food again.

  Raul stood arm-in-arm with Hao in front of the cameras!

  This image...

  Su might have gotten the wrong idea if he didn't know Hao was referring to Ivy.

  Soon!

  Play resumed.

  Trailing by a goal, Stuttgart prepared their counterattack.

  But whether it was Atsuto Uchida on the right or Smits on the left,

  these were full-backs battle-hardened against Bar?a's world-class forwards.

  Facing Stuttgart—a mid-table Bundesliga side—

  the two defenders moved with ease.

  While maintaining defensive solidity,

  Uchida even found opportunities to push forward occasionally.

  23rd minute!

  Stuttgart, who had set up a compact defensive block, conceded another goal.

  Again, it wasn't assisted by Su this time.

  After dribbling past three consecutive opponents in midfield, Su deftly chipped the ball with his left foot to the overlapping Atsuto Uchida at the far post.

  Uchida displayed his technical quality with a precise 45-degree diagonal cross into Stuttgart's penalty area.

  Raul timed his run perfectly and headed the ball into the net once more!

  2-0!

  After scoring, Raul enthusiastically rushed to embrace Hao in celebration.

  Uchida also joined them, shouting with both fists raised triumphantly.

  This goal effectively ended Stuttgart's attempts to mount a comeback.

  Nearly all their players were now camped in their own half.

  Schalke 04 initially struggled to break down this defensive "iron barrel" formation.

  The first half concluded in this fashion.

  During halftime, Magath made crucial tactical adjustments:

  He switched from 4-3-3, pulling Raul slightly deeper while keeping the more physically imposing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as the lone striker.

  This change paid immediate dividends early in the second half.

  49th minute:

  After combining intricately with Hao in midfield, Su lofted a delicate chip into Stuttgart's crowded penalty area.

  Huntelaar, perfectly positioned between the advancing goalkeeper and covering center-back, rose highest to head the ball back to the trailing Raul.

  Raul calmly volleyed home with his left foot!

  3-0!

  Schalke 04 had effectively secured victory.

  The onslaught continued:

  68th minute:

  From a corner kick, Schalke 04 scored again - this time through veteran defender Metzelder.

  Su provided yet another assist, bringing his staggering season total to 35!

  The 4-0 scoreline finally improved Magath's mood.

  Fearing potential injuries to Su and Raul, he promptly substituted both off.

  In the dying moments, Vardy pounced on another opportunity to make it 5-0 for Schalke 04!

  5-0!!!

  Schalke 04 humiliated their bitter rivals on Stuttgart's home turf.

  With the conclusion of the Bundesliga's 31st round,

  the league's most crucial and final decisive match approaches!

  Bundesliga Matchday 32:

  Schalke 04 will host German giants Bayern Munich!

  Only two rounds remain in the season.

  Schalke 04 leads Bayern by 4 points and Dortmund by 7!

  If Schalke 04 defeats Bayern at home,

  they will clinch their first-ever Bundesliga title two rounds early on their own ground!

  Bayern Munich = Dead Men Walking?

  Magath's Nightmare for Schalke!

  "China's Su's Historic Season - His Bundesliga Title!!!"

  The match hasn't even begun,

  yet German media outlets are already building tremendous hype.

  The frenzy in China surpasses even Germany's excitement.

  A Bundesliga championship!

  For a rookie in his debut season to lead a modest, title-less club to their first-ever championship -

  what an incredible achievement!

  Sports Channel!

  Sina Sports!

  Titan Sports!

  Nearly all Chinese sports media have descended upon Gelsenkirchen in droves!

  And it's not just the media!

  This week,

  flight prices from China to Gelsenkirchen (and Germany in general) have quintupled!

  Even at these inflated prices, seats remain scarce.

  "Dad, Mom! I told you not to come! It's just a Bundesliga title!"

  Back at Su's home,

  his parents called to announce their trip to Gelsenkirchen.

  The elderly couple insisted on witnessing their son's potential championship moment.

  Su's father even visited the family ancestral shrine to properly burn incense for their ancestors!

  Proudly boasting about his son to everyone,

  even the older generation in their ancestral hometown heard of Su's overseas success -

  they competed to hang Su's commemorative plaque in the most prominent position in the ancestral hall.

  You must understand what this honor means to the tradition-oriented older generation.

  Su's father has truly elevated the family's status this time, despite having been just a minor footnote in the genealogy for countless generations.

  Of course!

  With Su's connections, his parents had already secured the best seats for the match.

  The same couldn't be said for other Chinese fans flocking to Gelsenkirchen.

  Ticket scalpers have driven prices up tenfold for this game.

  And with Chinese fans still desperately pouring into Gelsenkirchen,

  even these exorbitantly priced tickets are in critically short supply.

  "Su, do you have any extra tickets? Several friends are begging me—they're all here already!"

  "Hao! I'm completely tapped out here! What, you wouldn't give them yours?"

  "Just two people! All my tickets were taken by your sister-in-law and given to her friends! Damn woman pissed me off! I already promised Wu and Zhang I'd get them tickets!"

  "Ah! Fine, I'll figure something out then!"

  Zhang?

  Wu?

  Why the hell would those two randomly come to a match?

  As far as Su recalled, Zhang had just transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande in 2011, while Wu was still playing in China League One for East Asia.

  Since they were Hao's friends, Su decided to call his agent.

  The call connected immediately!

  "Dear Su! Have you prepared your championship speech? Should I have my team draft one for you? You wouldn't believe it—my phone hasn't stopped ringing these past few days!"

  "So much exciting news I haven't had time to tell you!"

  "Real Madrid contacted me, and my God, you can't imagine how incredible their offer is!"

  "Ah, Carvajal! I'm still at Schalke 04! Let's talk after the season. By the way, do you have any tickets?"

  "Huh??"
