Honestly, no one expected Morita to send the ball there.
After all, the boy had done all the flashy things alone, and everyone thought that he would just complete the sequence by executing everything by himself.
Hell, even if he passed the ball, they all would think that the target would be Hoppe, the one who was on fire with four goals in two games at this point. That was definitely the most logical thing to do for the midfielder.
However, that was the beauty of this play.
In all honesty, this was one of the schemes that gave Schalke a lot of goals this season. When Morita held the ball and forced all the eyes on him, the two wingers would disappear into the shadows, just for them to pop up once again in the channel area to receive Morita's through ball.
At this point, there was no way the other teams in the league didn't know about it. However, that didn't mean they could stop this scheme, at least not that easily.
