On that day, Bergman and the coaching staff were much more demanding of the team's training.

Everyone has to complete basic training, and when it comes to tactical training, everyone has to do it seriously, not just to complete it, but also to take the process seriously.

The hip-hop slapstick of training will attract a reprimand.

This is very rare.

Several of the 'coached' players understood Bergman's approach, because they all knew that Bergmann wanted to lead the team to victory.

If the loose situation continues, the prospects for the race will certainly be very worrying.

At the end of the day's training, Bergmann gathered all the players and talked seriously about the match against Werder Bremen.

"We're going to fight Bremen, and I'm sure each of you is looking forward to it."

Bergmann spoke of Bremen, "Bremen are one of the top teams in Germany. So our race will attract a lot of attention. ”

"There are a lot of fans who watch the game, there are a lot of TV stations that broadcast the game live, and there are a lot of media interviews. It's a really big stage, and I want each of you to show your level. ”

"I don't talk about winning or losing."

"I'm sure you can also judge, there is a big gap between us and Bremen, the squad, the experience, etc., they have the value of stars, and they can even catch up with half of our club. But we don't need to win, it's enough to show quality. ”

"We have to show the strength of the whole team, and each of you has to show your strength, play your ability, and make the best impression on the fans and journalists."

"That's enough."

"It's too much luxury for us to win, that's a bit unrealistic, and my only request is to see a team of fighting spirits and good performances!"

Bergman's argument made many players breathe a long sigh of relief.

They thought that the coach would strive for victory, but they didn't expect to just hope to perform well, and in the semi-finals of the German Cup against Werder Bremen, anyone will try to perform, and if they waste the opportunity, they may never have it again in their lifetime.

Bergman is pessimistic, but nothing strange about it.

St. Pauli is only a promotion horse in the Bundesliga, even if the results in the Bundesliga are not bad so far, but the gap with Werder Bremen, which is competing in the Bundesliga, cannot be justified at all.

For example, Werder Bremen's most famous star Klose.

Klose alone is worth more than 15 million euros, which is still the 'internal value' of German football, and if a foreign club wants to poach such a star, the transfer fee can easily exceed 20 million euros.

What about St. Pauli?

The star of the house, Sulentik, is worth two million.

The other players are mostly 'worthless'.

Now the most valuable may be Zhen Shaolong, who dominates the German B scorer list, but no matter how good his performance is, he is only the German Second Division, and he has not experienced the top league, so it is difficult for his value to rise quickly.

One Klose can top all the players of St. Pauli.

This is not an exaggeration.

Klose's worth to buy half of the St. Pauli club is not an exaggeration.

Against such a formidable opponent, it would be a joke to try to win, but Bergman's statement made the team relax a lot.

Except for a few players: Zhen Shaolong, Sulentic, Bol and Felix Luz.

Werder Bremen is one of the best teams in German football in recent years.

1999 was a low point in Werder Bremen's 100-year history, but a turning point also took place.

In the midst of the crisis and pressure, the club's presidium, which had been in operation for many years, decided to restructure the club and appoint Thomas Schaff, a former player from Werder Bremen who was in charge of the club's amateur team at the time, as head coach.

Schaff not only led the team to relegation, but also surprisingly won the German Cup for the fourth time by beating Bayern Munich in the final of the German Cup.

Schaff was unremarkable at the time, with many coaches able to pull a big club out of the relegation zone, but the club gave Schaaf enough trust.

Schaff is characterised by a penchant for analysing opponents' strategies and daring to bring in new recruits, while Werder Bremen has transformed from a lower Bundesliga team to a regular in the UEFA Cup.

In 2000 and 2001, it was a transitional period for Werder Bremen, during which goalkeeper Rost and field player Frings transferred one after another.

In the past two years, Bremen has begun to play the role of the "wrecking king" of the Bundesliga, and they always beat those teams who want to win the championship at key moments in the league, making the league confusing again and again, and the new talents cultivated by the team also see hope for fans.

In 2004, a season that Bremen fans will never forget, Werder Bremen won the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

After Werder Bremen brought in top goalscorer Klose on a sky-high contract, they reached the European Champions Cup again the following year and reached the round of 16 in both years.

That's pretty remarkable.

In the past two seasons, Real Madrid's Champions League record is no more than that.

This season's Werder Bremen is also quite strong, although the European Champions Cup round of 16 was eliminated, but it also made them focus on the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

On March 29, the 29th round of the Bundesliga began, and Werder Bremen challenged Schalke 04 away.

This is an important confrontation in the Bundesliga.

Schalke 04 are Germany's traditional powerhouses and can also have a place in Europe, and it is difficult to say which of the two teams is stronger, but after the game, all the media will want to interview Schaf, because Werder Bremen have won by three goals away.

A large number of reporters gathered at the press conference.

Kulentari from Hamburg Sport, who seems insignificant, also has the right to interview, provided that he is called on by the press officer.

Cullentali was lucky.

After an Bild reporter sat down, the press officer asked him to stand up and ask questions.

This is thanks to the fact that he is a Hamburg journalist.

Werder Bremerma are going to play in the semi-finals of the German Cup, and they will face their opponents St. Pauli, and the Hamburg reporter will definitely have to ask relevant questions.

Curlentali's question surprised many people in the venue, "In the next game, Bremen will meet St. Pauli, what do you think of Zhen Shaolong?" ”

“……？”

Schaff repeated a little confused, he was at a loss when he heard the pronunciation of the name, but Ma regained his composure and said calmly, "That's a good player, I know him, he's been doing well all season." ”

The reporters at the venue were shocked.

Schaff revealed in one sentence that he didn't know Zhen Shaolong at all, but Werder Bremerma was going to race against St. Pauli, and he didn't know that the opponent was really good?

Bremen reporters don't care.

They are a strong team in the Bundesliga, and against a Bundesliga team, even if they don't prepare, it's not a big deal, perhaps, they don't have to prepare anything at all.

Other reporters thought Schaaf was arrogant.

The press officer gave Schaff a look, and when he saw the reaction of the reporters, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he said sorry and left the venue.

When he met the assistant coach, Schaff asked, "Do you know that St. Pauli has a ...... Players? It's a mouthful name. ”

"Zhen?"

"Yes, that's the pronunciation."

'He's a national player, he's young, he's doing really well.

"Country?" Schaaf was puzzled.

"Yes, country." The assistant coach advised, "He was a very good goalscorer, he scored a lot of goals in the Bundesliga, and yes, he also scored three goals against Hertha Berlin. ”

"So powerful?"

"Many people say that he was the one who single-handedly led St. Pauli to the semi-finals of the German Cup."

Schaaf nodded.

He is against and saint
