Chapter 158 More Flowers

The two sides entered the second half with a score of 1:2.

Despite the 15-minute break at halftime, and despite Schaff's guidance and encouragement to the players, the shadow of being overtaken by two consecutive goals has always shrouded the hearts of the Bremen players, and it is difficult to dissipate.

Their position on the court is a bit messy, and they are starting to be a little bit concerned about gains and losses.

When they push the ball into the midfield, as long as they are pressed by the Hamburg players, they will choose to pass back, and lose the determination and confidence to attack forward.

On the other hand, in Hamburg, they were like hungry wild wolves, frantically attacking Bremen's defense line, and kept creating opportunities.

Morale is so important to a team!
For Bremen, in terms of the mental attributes of their players, the "compression resistance" is obviously not enough.

One goes up and the other goes up, which has caused the current situation in the second half to be a bit one-sided.

Scharf was in a hurry.

He stood on the sidelines and kept waving, signaling the players to move forward.

People have to move forward, and the ball has to pass forward.

Always in the backcourt, how can you score?
But now there is a problem with the psychology of the Bremen players, coupled with the large-scale running coverage and pressing pressure of the Hamburg players, it is difficult for the Bremen players to find a suitable ball line in the first place.

It's a little bit better in the backcourt, but once you get to the midfield, it seems that every Bremen player has two or three Hamburg players watching. How can this move forward?

Qianqianqian, do you think you are Zhao Xiangqian?

And it would be even more unreliable if the defender did not go through the midfield and directly went to the striker with a long pass.

The opponent's two central defenders Rudiger and Kjaer are both tall and strong masters, and it is not unreasonable to confront Bremen's forwards head-on.

And this kind of backcourt long pass, the defensive side is facing the ball, and the offensive side is facing away from the goal, so the defensive player naturally has an advantage.

After playing a few more times, the Bremen players discovered that the right way to play this way is to pass the ball.

The game went on for another ten minutes, and Hamburg's pressing became more and more fierce, and many players had already crossed the midfield.

Werder Bremen keeper Militz got the ball after a shot from Hamburg failed.

But he soon discovered to his embarrassment that there was no suitable exit point.

According to Schaff's requirement for the goalkeeper, he should try his best to hand over the ball to the defender, and slowly pass the ball before launching an attack.

But at this time, within Millitz's field of vision, there were all Hamburg players in white clothes!

The Werder Bremen players in green jerseys seem to be covered by white one by one, and there is no point to pass the ball at all!
This made Millitz a little helpless, he could only choose a big foot to drive to the frontcourt.

There is no doubt that the ball was taken by Hamburg again.

This time it was Kjaer who grabbed the header and lightly passed the ball to Carvajal next to him.

Carvajal has no defenders around him and dribbles forward.

The nerves of the Bremen players suddenly tensed up.

For the first two goals, the initial initiator of the offense was this damn Hamburg right back!

So, Bremen striker Elia hurried over to defend.

At the same time, the defenders are also tightly attached to the three forwards Sun Xingmin, Vardy and Wu Lei, which can prevent Carvajal from passing the ball to them again and form an offensive cooperation.

This time, since Rudiger and Kjaer are still in Hamburg's own backcourt, as long as they keep an eye on this trident, Hamburg should have nothing to do.

But this time, it was De Bruyne who retreated to get the ball.

In this game, De Bruyne has repeatedly moved in the middle to mobilize Bremen's midfielder, including the reason why there was no Bremen midfielder to help defend when Carvajal passed the ball.

So now when the Hamburg midfielder is running back, Bremen's three midfielders can only strictly stick to their positions, and dare not follow De Bruyne forward, for fear of losing their position.

And Carvajal didn't mean to make a long pass. When he saw De Bruyne coming, he just pushed his arch and passed a ground ball to him.

De Bruyne turned around quickly after receiving the ball, and then made a forward diagonal pass!
On the left side, Sun Xingmin has been watched dead by the opponent's full-backs and central defenders, but behind No. 11 in Hamburg, another figure came up.

This is number 6 Casemiro!
Since he ran up from the midfielder of Hamburg, there are no Bremen players around him to mark him.

After the Brazilian iron waist came up, the ball fell right in front of him.

Casemiro didn't intend to stop the ball, but volleyed directly!

The ball was pulled out to stick to the ground, almost in a straight line, from the side of the goalkeeper Militz, into the Werder Bremen goal behind him.

1: 3!

Hamburg scored again!

The entire Weser Stadium instantly became silent.

The Bremen fans watched the whole process of this goal, and suddenly felt a little desperate.

The attack firepower displayed by Hamburg is really terrifying!

The main reason is that the firepower is very scattered. Even if you have restricted all the strikers, they can still pass through the defenders and score goals through the midfielders!
More flowers, the most deadly!
Corresponding to the excited celebration of the Hamburg players and coaches was Schaff's bitter face in front of the home team's bench.

He just now feels a little regretful.

Shouldn't you be fighting Hamburg?

Bremen gave Hamburg too much space today, so no matter how they defend, Hamburg can always find a breakthrough point.

If you change to a defensive formation like 4141, shrink the line to your own half, and fight back resolutely like at the beginning of the first half, maybe you will get much better results than today.

But, then again, today is Werder Bremen's home game, and the opponent is the relegation favorite Hamburger before the start of the season. If Schaff really chooses to do this, he may also be scolded to death by the fans and the media... …

Alas, being a coach is so hard.

And after Casemiro's goal helped Hamburg almost seal the victory, Pan Yi also gave up as soon as he saw it, and began to replace and train new players.

Yes, although this starting lineup is already fresh enough, there are still some guys waiting to be fed on the bench.

As a result, young players such as Charhanoglu and Lin Zhijian went into battle one after another.

In the last half hour, both sides failed to score again.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the scoreboard at the Weser Stadium showed the final result of the game, 1:3.

Following the whistle, the stadium was quiet for a while, and then boos broke out.

These boos spread to every corner of the stadium and reached everyone's ears. At this moment, they were madly venting their inner dissatisfaction.

Werder Bremen finished ninth in the league last season, so their fans hope that the team can go further this season, at least to reach the Europa League.

But unexpectedly, they suffered a two-game losing streak at the beginning of the season.

It is understandable that Dortmund lost in the first away game, but today, they lost at home to last season's relegation team Hamburg, and they lost so bad temper!
Except for the successful sneak attack in the first half, there were almost no decent opportunities later.

For such a scene and result, Bremen fans certainly cannot accept it.

On the court, although Schaff had a gloomy face, he still greeted Pan Yi with grace and stretched out his right hand.

The fans may not be able to see it, but as the head coach, he understands that at least in the tactical competition, he was completely defeated by Pan Yi in this game.

After the two head coaches held hands together, Schaff said heartily:
"I lost. I hope that in the next fight, I can figure out a way to defeat you!"
