Chapter 144

On November 30, at the Ruhr Stadium, Bochum takes on Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen's previous 13 rounds of record is four wins, three draws and six losses, currently ranked 12th in the league, as long as the second half of the league maintains their form, relegation is worry-free, but with their current strength, it is unlikely that they want to enter the top seven to play in Europe, so they should be a team without desire.

And the current second-place Bochum league standings, is it not easy to deal with them?

With this in mind, Bochum started their game.

Although the Bochum players were very ambitious before the race, they encountered many difficulties after the race.

Perhaps because the expectations were too high, the players of Bochum began to get anxious when the team was unable to open the situation, and their footwork was a little messy, except for a few people such as Shen Peng Grezka, the performance of the other players was not up to standard.

Neururell had no choice but to keep shouting on the sidelines, hoping that the team would quickly adjust.

But his adjustments didn't help.

Bochum's underdog also cost them, and in the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Werder Bremen opened the scoring.

The goal was scored by their right wing-back Elia, who found a mistake in the Bochum defence and fired straight at goal, which bounced off the ground a few times before rolling into the net.

The Ruhr Stadium fans were quiet for a while, and in what they thought was a big win, the opponent scored first.

Some of the fans who understood immediately pointed out the problem with Bochum's style of play, they wanted to score too much in the game, and there were some underweight opponents, so the play was a bit chaotic.

"How did they do it, the level of this game is a bit far from the previous game!"

"Yes, we are all promoted teams, and we are still inferior to the Bundesliga team in the game, how can we win?"

"It seems that they are a little proud to be second in the league."

"It's not just them, I think it's a great result, and I guess only Kaiserslautern has ever done it and finished in the top two of the league as a promoted horse."

"Hopefully they can adjust quickly, they have this result and we can be satisfied."

……

In the 39th minute, Werder Bremen scored another goal!

It was Hunt who scored this time, their central midfielder.

The situation in Bochum immediately worsens!

They're 2-0 down now and it's going to be harder and harder to play in the future.

Shen Peng didn't get much support in this game, he is not a superman after all, if he retreats to get the ball by himself, he will encounter a lot of obstacles, and if he is in front, his teammates will not be able to pass the ball to his feet.

Neururell had stopped directing at this point, and he now lamented that fortunately there was a break soon, and he still had time to adjust, and if the players played well in the second half, they could have recovered two points.

With the half-time whistle blowing as hoped, Bochum trailing 2-0 at home had to adjust his players' mentality.

In the dressing room, Neururell didn't lose his temper, but the players looked a little unpleasant at this time, and they knew how well they played in the first half.

"I can see that you are in a hurry."

Neulurell said slowly, in addition to technical tactics, the head coach must also be able to regulate the psychological state of the players.

"Are you thinking that this game has to be won or you will be opened up by Bayern Munich?"

Neururell asked, and the players were silent and did not answer, and of course Neururell did not ask them to answer.

"I want to tell you that I'm very happy with your performance this season. I still remember, before the season, a friend asked me, what are your plans for this season? What I told him at the time was that he was trying to finish in the top seven and play in Europe next season. He laughed at the time and said it would be nice if we could be relegated this season. ”

"But now, we can't help but be in the top seven, and in the top two, surpassing Borussia Dortmund and just a little worse than Bayern Munich!"

"So don't put any pressure on you, we've done well enough this season, even if we lose, it's nothing. We now have 29 points in the league, and even if we lose all the next games, we still have hope of relegation! ”

"Okay, I won't say more, you relax in the second half, I don't ask for the result in this game, as long as you adjust your mentality."

With that, Neururell left the dressing room and left time for the players themselves.

……

The break passed, and the second half began.

The fans didn't know what was going on in the dressing room, but the Bochum players did perform much better, and finally returned to their previous level, although not enough to crush Werder Bremen, but they had a faint advantage on the field.

Seeing this, the head coach of Werder Bremen waved his hand, and the players immediately began to search for defense!

They scored two goals away from home and are already satisfied! It looks like they're going to stick to those two goals now and take the three points away from home.

Neururell instantly understood what his opponent was thinking, and after a little hesitation, he replaced a defender and a striker to strengthen the attack, so that Bochum's formation became 3-4-3!

However, Werder Bremen has obviously used this hand many times, so they defended like a steel plate, so Bochum couldn't find a chance for a while.

As Neururell had already done his job at half-time, even if he couldn't find the back of the net for a long time, except for a few players who were a little anxious, no other players were still patiently looking for opportunities.

In the seventy-first minute, Bochum's chance finally came.

Due to Shen Peng's constant involvement, Werder Bremen's defense finally showed a flaw, and when Freier broke through on the side, he seized the gap and slid it straight into the ball at the feet of substitute Sukuta Pasu.

Sukuta Pasu received the ball and got up to the attention of the Werder Bremen defender and goalkeeper before slotting the ball to the feet of another striker, Dedic, who slotted home with a gentle push.

1-2, Bochum went through a hard-fought battle and finally recovered a point.

However, the Bochum players were not satisfied, and Dedic picked up the ball in the net and ran towards the halfway line.

Seeing this situation, Dutt, the head coach of Yunda Bremen, frowned, although the players' defense has done a good job, they were still pulled by Shen Peng to get rid of the space and score, and if it goes on like this, it's not good!

So he immediately made a substitution, replacing striker Di Santo and replacing striker Bagfred.
