Chapter 157: More Blossoms

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

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

They're a bit messy on the pitch and they're starting to get a little bit out of the way.

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.

Hamburg, on the other hand, are like hungry wolves, frantically attacking the Bremendi defense and creating chances.

Morale is too important for a team!

For Bremen, in terms of the mental attributes of these players, the "ability to resist pressure" is obviously not enough.

This has created a somewhat one-sided situation in the second half.

Schaaf was in a hurry.

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

The man has to move forward, and the ball has to pass forward.

Always at the back, how can you score?

But now the Bremen players have a psychological problem, coupled with the Hamburg players' wide range of running coverage and pressing pressing, making it difficult for the Bremen players to find the right line of play in the first place.

It's a little bit better at the back, but once you're close to midfield, it seems like every Bremen player has two or three Hamburg players on their side, so how can that move forward?

Forward forward, do you think you are Zhao Xiangqian?

And if you don't go through the midfield, you can directly find a striker with a long pass from the defender, which is even more unreliable.

The opposing centre-backs, Antonio Rudiger and Kjaer, are both tall and strong, and it would be nice to face Bremen's forwards head-to-head.

And this kind of long pass in the backfield, the defender is facing the ball, and the offensive side is facing away from the goal, and the defender naturally has an advantage.

After a few more Bremen players, I found that this style of play is the right to give the ball.

With more than ten minutes to play, Hamburg's pressing became more and more ferocious, and many players had already crossed the halfway.

After a failed shot from Hamburg, Bremen goalkeeper Militz got his hands on the ball.

But he soon found out in embarrassment that there was no suitable exit point.

Schaaf's request to the goalkeeper is to give the ball to the defenders as much as possible, and slowly attack through passes.

But at this time, in Militz's field of vision, it turned out to be all Hamburg players in white clothes!

The Bremen players in green jerseys seem to be covered by white, and there is no point where they can pass the ball at all!

This made Militz a little helpless, so he could only choose a big foot to drive to the front.

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

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

Carvajal had no defender next to him and moved forward with the ball.

The nerves of the Bremen players suddenly tensed.

The first two goals, the original initiator of the attack was this damn Hamburg right wing-back!

So, Bremen striker Elia hurried over to defend.

At the same time, the defenders also clinged to the three strikers of Son Heung-min, Vardy and Wu Lei, which could prevent Carvajal from passing the ball to them again and forming an offensive combination.

This time, with Rudiger and Kjaer still in Hamburg's own backfield, as long as they keep an eye on this trident, Hamburg should be out of the way.

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

In this game, De Bruyne has repeatedly pulled in the middle to mobilize Bremen's midfield, including Carvajal's pass, and the reason why there is no Bremen midfielder to help defend is precisely because of this.

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

Carvajal, on the other hand, didn't mean to make a long pass, and when he saw De Bruyne coming, he pushed the arch of his foot and passed a boccia ball to him.

De Bruyne received the ball and turned quickly, and then it was a long diagonal pass forward!

On the left, Son Heung-min has been seen dead by the opposing wing-backs and centre-backs, but behind the Hamburg No.11, another figure has stepped in.

This is No. 6 Casemiro!

As he came up from Hamburg's midfield position, there are no Bremen players around him at all.

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

Casemiro wasn't ready to stop the ball, he volleyed straight away!

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

1:3!

Hamburg has scored again!

The entire Weser Stadium fell silent in an instant.

Bremen fans watched the whole process of this goal and immediately felt a little desperate.

The offensive firepower displayed by Hamburg is really terrifying!

The main thing is that the firepower is very scattered, even if you have limited all the strikers, they can still score goals through the defenders, through the midfielders!

More flowering, the deadliest!

Corresponding to the excited celebration of the Hamburg players and coaches was the bitter face of Schaff in front of the home team's bench.

He only now felt a little regretful.

Shouldn't you fight against Hamburg?

Bremen gave Hamburg too much space today, so no matter how much they defended, Hamburg could always find a way to break through.

If you change to a defensive formation like 4141, shrink the line to your own half, and fight back with the same determination as you did at the beginning of the first half, you may have achieved much better results than today.

But, then again, Bremen's home stadium today is against relegation favourites Hamburg, who were relegation favourites before the start of the season, and if Schaaf does choose to do so, he may also be scolded by the fans and the media......

Alas, it's hard to be a coach.

And after Casemiro's goal helped Hamburg almost seal the win, Pan Yi also accepted it when he saw it and began to make substitutions to train newcomers.

Yes, while the starting lineup is new enough, there are still some guys on the bench waiting to be fed.

As a result, Calhanoglu, Lin Zhijian and other young generals have put on the battlefield.

In the final half hour, neither side was able to score again.

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

With the sound of the whistle, the stadium was quiet for a while, and then there was an earth-shattering boo.

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

Werder Bremen finished ninth in the league last season, so their fans will be hoping that the team can go one step further this season and at least reach the Europa League.

But unexpectedly, at the beginning of the season, it suffered two consecutive defeats.

It is understandable to lose the first away game against Dortmund, but today, it was at home to last season's relegation team Hamburg, and the loss was so untempered!

Aside from a sneak attack in the first half, there were few decent chances behind.

For such a scene and results, Bremen fans are of course unacceptable.

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

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

When the hands of the two managers were shaken, Schaaf said heartily:

"I lost. Hopefully, the next time we fight, I'll be able to figure out how to beat Ling! ”
