Hoffenheim's head coach also seemed to notice that his team was stuck in the midfield. In the end, the man finally made two changes.
The first one was to put a fresh midfielder to fight for the ball, trying to kill Schalke's two hearts with new blood, and the second one was to take off Christoph Baumgartner for Ihlas Bebou, the new player who they had just recruited from Hannover 96 a few days ago.
Not a single one of Schalke's players treated this seriously. After all, Ihlas Bebou was just a player who had only been wandering around second division teams, never even getting a chance to play in the Bundesliga even once. In their mind, this was just a substitution to add new blood, not a tactical one where the striker from Togo would catch them off guard.
However, that was at least what the outfield players thought. For Higo, this was a different case. His gaze hardened immediately, remembering what Kumiko said about that Togo striker.
