Chapter 126: The Battle of Werder Bremen (2)
After scoring the first goal, Rehhagel was not carried away by the temporary lead, and he headed the captain of the field, Thomas Brown. Schaaf gestured. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As a result, Werder Bremen, who had been attacking well, began to shrink the backline, slow down the tempo, and play a defensive counterattack. This is always the only way for the leading team to maintain the advantage, and Werder Bremen includes Mario Bremen. The reason why Rehhagel is called "Otto the Great" is because he has absolute control over this team, and his 14 years of coaching experience in Werder Bremen make him have a good command of this team, even if he has a single look, no player dares to disobey it.
Of course, this is why Rehhagel's situation at the hands of the traditional giants is not ideal. The reason for this is that Rehhagel's results are based on the team's high level of discipline. He asked the club and the players to be centered on him and do everything he told him to do. This is also the reason why he can't stay in the traditional big team, because there are too many big stars in the big team, and it is impossible to follow the coach's arrangement for everything.
However, once Rehhagel is in complete control of a team, with his superhuman tactical level, the power is undoubtedly staggering. This can be seen from the first goal of the opening game, although the main reason for the goal conceded was Son Chenghai's mistake, but Prato was suppressed by Bremen at the beginning is an indisputable fact. In fact, Prato had been mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game before the game, so he put on a defensive posture at the beginning, but except for Effenberg and Leonardo, everyone else lacked experience in the tournament, and they paid the price for their youth.
But it is precisely because of their youth that they have infinite possibilities. After being scored first, Prato's young players completely let go of their baggage, as they were left with only one option.
Because of his own mistakes caused the team to fall behind, Sun Chenghai's already somewhat nervous face was even more expressionless, he stood in front of the goal with his head bowed, and it was in his position that Basler scored the goal just now, and not far away were the Bremen players cheering and celebrating the goal. No one wants to be the backdrop for a goal, but obviously he can't avoid it at the moment. He thought about the scene of this game countless times before the game, and even lost sleep in the dormitory one night, from his outstanding performance to be selected for the last 48 players of Jianlibao, to the sudden elimination due to bone age, to the appearance of the Prato staff in front of him to bring him back to Italy, two years of hard training and finally promoted to the first team, he still remembers the envious eyes of the players, and the past scenes are constantly playing in his mind like a movie. He has a lot of experience, different from the young and old adults of other Jianlibao team members, he vows to perform well and seize this rare opportunity. However, perhaps it was too much desire to perform well that made him make such a low-level mistake......
Just as Sun Chenghai was clenching his fists, a big hand pressed on his head and rubbed his slightly messy shack head: "Sun, attack, let's go back one by one and give those arrogant guys a little color." ”
Sun Chenghai looked up at the face full of ferocity and usually made him quite afraid, somehow, a warm current flowed through his heart, maybe at this time, as long as there are teammates who are willing to take care of him, it will be enough for him to be comforted.
Many years later, Sun Chenghai recalled the scene of Effenberg talking to him on a talk show: "You can imagine how indescribable the kind smile squeezed out of a tiger's face is, but I feel inexplicably warm and have always remembered it in my heart." ”
That's right, it was Effenberg, the oldest on the field, who took the initiative to comfort Son Seunghae, and at this time, wearing the captain's armband, took advantage of the time before the restart of the game to gather all the Prato players and form a circle.
"Many of you also heard before the game, some people said that we are a poor team, relying on desperate defense, fighting and playing to get to where we are today, what do you think?"
Effenberg glanced around: "Now we have no way back, if the opponent scores one goal, it loses, and if it scores ten, now we have to let go of our hands and attack, let those people see, we can beat them without fighting, without kicking people." ”
"Prato wins!"
Standing back on the side of the service line, the Werder Bremen players felt that the momentum of the Prato player opposite them had completely changed, as if they had opened up a small universe and opened up the feeling of Ren Du's second vein. This is one of the reasons why Rehhagel asked Werder Bremen to temporarily abandon the attack.
In fact, Rehhagel was right, and the Prato players, who had completely put aside all their scruples, were far better off the beaten side than they had expected. The Prato team, which has long pursued defensive counter-attacking tactics, has always been seen that their impregnable defense has completely obscured their outstanding talent in attack.
Within twenty minutes, Prato had made four dangerous attempts, including one from Vieri that hit the woodwork and nearly resulted in a goal. Had it not been for Rehhagel's timely response, Prato might have equalised.
However, Rehhagel's caution did not keep the score long and Prato was awarded a free-kick in front of a free kick when Doni was tripped by a Bremen player as he cut inside on the way to half-time. In the Prato team, there is no shortage of free kick masters, such as Veron, Jonti, Leonardo, Effenberg and others, but this time it was Materazzi who took the initiative to stand in front of the penalty spot.
Seeing this scene, Chrissy in the live broadcast room of the game said with a smile: "This must be a smoke bomb or a tactical corner, and it is really funny to let a 193cm stupid big defender take a free kick......"
However, before he could say anything, the ball flew from Materazzi's feet and flew straight into the goal. It was as if someone had choked him, and he couldn't make a sound at all. And Blewin, who was seriously upset with Chlich's explanation, said with a smile as if he had a bad breath at this time: "What's wrong with you? Prato, a tall centre-back, has such a great free-kick footwork and looks very skilled, that's the talent you're talking about, right? ”
Christ opened his mouth wide at this time, but he still intended to die: "For a central defender, the free kick is completely unprofessional, and the free kick is a great chance of scoring, it doesn't mean anything, it's just some luck on Prato, I still think Bremen will win in the end." “
