The Augsburg goal silenced the Veltins-Arena somewhat, and Schalke 04 fans were also quite surprised.

But soon, they erupted in a huge boo—this boo was certainly not directed at Schalke 04, but at Augsburg.

Watching Augsburg players celebrate freely on their turf, Schalke 04 fans were furious—losing to Dortmund in the last game was frustrating enough, but now they were being equalized at home by Augsburg? Augsburg! The bottom of the league, do you have the right to run wild in front of us? Boo them to death!

Thus, amidst the huge booing, the game restarted.

It wasn't just Schalke 04 fans who were enraged, but also Schalke 04 players.

After the game restarted, they launched a fierce attack on Augsburg's goal, seeming to want to repay the lost goal tenfold.

But the furious Schalke 04 players seemed to have overlooked one thing: when they pressed forward in large numbers, the gaps behind them were so numerous that even Augsburg players had difficulty choosing...

Faced with Schalke 04's onslaught, Augsburg cleverly chose to counterattack.

Moreover, having just scored, their morale was high, their players were full of confidence, and the efficiency of their counterattacks was naturally on a different level than before...

So, not long after Schalke 04 attacked Augsburg fiercely, everyone realized that Augsburg's attack was actually more threatening, because when their counterattack came out, there were hardly any people in Schalke 04's backfield.

"...Since Neuer transferred to Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 has not found a replacement for him. This has invisibly increased the pressure on their defense. So far this season, Schalke has conceded twenty goals, and only Werder Bremen has conceded more goals among the top five in the league, but only one more. So, what is the normal defensive level of the teams at the top of the league? Dortmund has conceded nine goals, Borussia Monchengladbach has conceded nine goals, and Bayern Munich has conceded even fewer, only eight..."

Marcel Reif was speaking when Schalke 04's attack was defended by Augsburg. Huntelaar tried to force his way into the penalty area, but was stopped. Then Augsburg launched a quick counterattack, heading straight for Schalke 04's half.

At this time, even Schalke 04's two full-backs had pressed up to become wingers, and their backfield was like a vast prairie, allowing Augsburg players to gallop across it.

But the seemingly flat prairie is not always peaceful and serene; it can also hide killing intent.

Augsburg's midfielder, Werner, dribbled the ball on the counterattack and then passed the ball to the forward, Oehrl, in front.

Oehrl turned his head back to look at the ball, preparing to receive it, but just after he received the ball, he turned his head and saw a flash of blue!

"Yang!!" Marcel Reif exclaimed.

And a huge cry rang out in Schalke 04's home stadium, the Veltins-Arena.

In an uproar, Yang Muge, who had already rushed to Oehrl, made a decisive sliding tackle. Oehrl hurriedly tried to push the ball away, but the ball hit Yang Muge's foot, and after he jumped over, he could only reluctantly turn his head and watch the ball be kept by that Schalke 04 number fifteen...

"Yang Muge, great ball! Beautiful sliding tackle!" commentator Duan Xin shouted.

After Yang Muge intercepted the ball, he quickly got up and passed the ball to Holtby, who was returning to defense, but he didn't rush forward with him, but stayed in the backfield, vigilantly looking at the Augsburg players.

"Lao Yang's tackle was so cool!"

"Wow wow wow! Beautiful interception!"

In the group, everyone was also very happy.

"Speaking of which, did any of you notice when Lao Yang popped up?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked, causing everyone to be stunned.

"Huh..."

"It seems...I really didn't notice..."

"It seems like he suddenly appeared on the TV screen, right?"

The three people replied one after another.

※※※

"Yang Muge! He appeared in front of Oehrl as if out of nowhere, leaving Oehrl with no time to react!" Marcel Reif said.

It wasn't just Zhou Yi and Marcel Reif who noticed this; Duan Xin also mentioned Yang Muge's sudden appearance: "Where was Yang Muge before? I have no impression, but the important thing is that he appeared in a crucial position at a crucial moment and made a crucial defense!"

The Augsburg players, who had originally planned to counterattack, were also a little stunned—why was the counterattack gone?

On the other hand, 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 Schalke 04's huge half of the field. Yang Muge didn't go up and remained in the back, still guarding.

"Hey, don't you think Lao Yang is a person with a very weak presence?" Zhou Yi continued to ask everyone in the group.

"It seems that's really the case..."

"Anyway, he doesn't talk much in the group..."

"It's more than just in the group; he doesn't talk much in real life either!" Sun Pan, as Yang Muge's roommate, knows Yang Muge very well.

"Does that mean Lao Yang is not very pitiful?" Guo Nu asked.

"No." Zhou Yi said. "On the contrary, Lao Yang's characteristic gives him a great advantage in defense..."

"Why?" Sun Pan was a little confused.

"Because everyone will involuntarily ignore him and treat him like air, which gives him a chance to sneak up, just like that ball just now," Zhou Yi explained in the group.

"Zhou Yi, I think what you said is too mysterious... It feels like Lao Yang can become invisible," Sun Pan said.

"You can understand it that way. Lao Yang is 'Invisibility Man'!"

Although Schalke 04's next round of attack on the field had already begun, coach Stevens's attention seemed to be no longer on it. He turned his head and said to his assistant coach, Sepp Eichkorn: "Sepp, did you see that?"

"A beautiful sliding tackle," Eichkorn said.

"No, I'm talking about what happened before that sliding tackle," Stevens said. "Did you notice how Yang got up there?"

"Uh..." This question stumped Eichkorn. He thought about it carefully and then shook his head. "I really can't remember..."

"Hmm...I don't have any impression either," Stevens also pondered.

He really couldn't remember where Yang Muge was or what he was doing before he suddenly appeared in front of Oehrl.

In short, he suddenly appeared in front of the opponent's player, then made a clean tackle, and then handed the ball to his teammate. Now Schalke 04 has launched a new offensive, and Yang Muge is still staying in the backfield, as if the noise, excitement and vanity of the frontcourt have nothing to do with him.

Stevens didn't care about his team's attack, but locked his eyes on Yang Muge.

He realized that he didn't really know much about this young player who had always been on the first team.

He thought about it carefully. Yang Muge was not a celebrity in the Schalke 04 team, and there was nothing that could impress him. His personality? Very vague. His face is also very vague.

In short, this is a person who is very low-key in the crowd and does not attract much attention. To put it bluntly, he has no presence. You can't feel whether he is there or not.

It's normal for such a person to be training on the first team all the time without playing in a game.

He is not the kind of person who makes people feel extraordinary at first glance.

But maybe it is his simple characteristics that have made me ignore him?

Stevens asked himself in his heart.

Augsburg got another chance to counterattack. This time, Yang Muge headed the pass they sent forward directly back.

He accurately judged the opponent's passing intention, arrived on the passing route in advance, and then jumped high, heading the ball back without any interference.

A defense that was not brilliant, but very practical.

It is worthy of praise in the eyes of those who understand, but ordinary in the eyes of those who watch the excitement—he just completed the work he should do.

That's what they say, but how many people can't even do their job well?

Or rather, in today's world, there is never a shortage of people who like to show off, but there are far fewer people who are truly down-to-earth and do practical things...

After heading the ball back, Yang Muge still did not go forward. He didn't even cross the center line and stayed in the backfield.

But in the eyes of Schalke 04 coach Stevens, there was more and more interest flashing.

He originally just wanted to give this young man a chance, with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, but he didn't expect to discover a rough jade...

In this world, there are some people who are not very eye-catching, but they are very important.

Maybe this silent and low-key Chinese boy is such a person?
