When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and this principle is also applicable on the football field.

If Schalke 04 is not intimidated at this time, as long as they can seize the opportunity of Werder Bremen to press all the way and play a few successful counterattacks, they have a great chance to score.

But Schalke was instigated, and they chose to shrink their forces and retract their own half to strengthen the defense, intending to withstand this period of Werder Bremen's attacking frenzy.

This choice is in the hands of Coach Schaff, originally in his plan, if Schalke does not instigate and chooses to fight against them, then Werder Bremen will maintain the offensive for more than ten minutes at most, and the attack will be suspended.

First, the continuous attack is very physically taxing on the players and does not last long.

Second, the mentality of players who can't attack for a long time will be impatient, and it is easy to lose goals.

But now there are few people in the front court, and almost all the players have retracted into their own half.

They don't even have the threat of a counterattack, so what is Werder Bremen polite?

That's it!

As a result, the situation on the field quickly turned into Werder Bremen besieging the Schalke 04 goal.

"This game is so strange, Schalke 04 is also a strong team that broke into the knockout stage of the Champions League, why are they so passive on the field, I don't think they have been so passive when they played Bayern Munich!"

"Schalke is instigated, Werder Bremen has no performance pressure, and can rest assured to boldly attack, but Schalke 04 is different!"

"Indeed, Schalke 04's schedule is not too friendly to them, and then they will face strong teams at the top of the standings in a row, every game is a tough battle, I am afraid that I will not dare to let go of my hands and feet in this game, for fear that the consumption will be too large and the next game will not be easy to play!"

"Speaking of which, why did Schalke fall to sixth place in the table? Weren't they all in the top three in previous years? ”

"The reason is very simple, Werder Bremen has risen this season, they have taken the place of Dortmund, Dortmund occupies the position of Schalke 04, plus Leverkusen's excellent performance and the dark horse of the promoted horse Eintracht Frankfurt, Schalke fell to sixth place!"

"Hehe, in the final analysis, it's Schalke's own food, even if you can't beat the first three teams, it's not difficult to overpower Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt, but you didn't take the opportunity, so who can blame?"

"The competition for a Champions League place in the Bundesliga this season looks so fierce, and under Werder Bremen, the difference between third and sixth place is not big, and it looks like everyone has a chance!"

"The position of the third-place Dortmund is still relatively stable, except for the 32nd round to face Bayern Munich, the rest of the opponents are weak, and it is still relatively easy to get points!"

"Fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen don't have a good schedule as Borussia Dortmund, and they will face two obstacles in the next six rounds, Werder Bremen and Schalke 04, and one of them could fall out of the standings!"

"Hehe, I think the worst is probably Schalke 04.

In addition to facing second-placed Werder Bremen in this game, they will face direct rivals Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

The next game is against fifth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, and each of these three games will be a tough one, especially against Bayer Leverkusen, and if they lose, they will basically have no hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League. ”

Werder Bremen's players don't care who Schalke will face next, they just beat their opponents to death.

In the 28th minute, Lin Quan broke through with the ball in front of the penalty area and was tripped by Neustadt, giving Werder Bremen a well-placed free kick opportunity.

De Bruyne unleashed a high-quality lift ball that Schalke's goalkeeper did not react to, and the smart office watched the ball go into the net.

Werder Bremen were the first to break the deadlock.

After the goal, the morale of the players in Werder Bremen was boosted.

With a one-goal lead, they are more confident and less afraid of conceding goals.

In the face of Werder Bremen's stormy attack, Schalke's goal was soon lost again.

Just five minutes later, Lin Quan received a clever pass from Kevin De Bruyne in the box, and in the face of the onrushing goalkeeper, he picked up the ball and slotted it past the goalkeeper before slotting home an empty goal.

The score became 2:0, and Schalke's morale was a bit of a sign of collapse!

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, if it was a previous season, after a two-goal lead, Werder Bremen might choose to stop.

But now, the enemies between the two teams are very angry, and Werder Bremen will not only not stop, but will also rub salt in the wounds of the Schalkes!

In the 38th minute of the first half, De Bruyne's long-range shot caused a save from the Schalke goalkeeper and the ball rolled into the box.

There was chaos in the small penalty area, with players from both sides battling for football.

In the confusion, Lin Quan stabbed the ball and kicked it into the goal before the goalkeeper confiscated it.

3:0！

Before half-time, Werder Bremen had a big lead over Schalke.

But that's not all!

In the first half of injury time, Lin Quan transferred the ball into the penalty area, and Arnautovic pressed the opposing defender to push the ball into Schalke's goal!

4:0！

Crazy, crazy!

Werder Bremen has gone completely insane!

This game is already on the way to a tragedy!

Schalke's players have completely lost their fighting spirit, and their faces are full of frustration and confusion.

They themselves knew why they were so poor, conceding four goals in just half time!

Thankfully, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half in time to give Schalke's players a little breather.

Otherwise, with their current form, I am afraid that they will continue to concede goals if they continue to play.

……

"You guys did a great job, keep playing like that in the second half!"

In the locker room, Coach Schaaf praised the team's performance and encouraged them to keep up the good work.

Obviously, Coach Schaaf has no intention of giving up.

Now that the butcher's knife has been raised, they have to send them a tragedy, how can they give up halfway?

On the visitors' side, Schalke's coach made what he considered to be an 'impassioned' mobilisation in an attempt to awaken the morale of his players and get them back into form in the second half.

But judging by the reaction of the players, his agitation had little effect.

Schalke's players were completely stunned and those 45 minutes of the first half were nothing short of torture for them.

The thought of being tortured and humiliated by their opponents in the second half made them not even want to play.

The opponents have gone crazy, scoring four in the first half, who knows how many more goals they can score in the second half?

If there is a tragedy on the road, then almost all of their players will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

At this moment, they only hope to escape from the ghost place of Weser Stadium as soon as possible.

If it were possible, they would never want to go back to this sad place again.

But just as life goes on, the second half of the game must be played as well!

Fifteen minutes later, the break ended and the players from both sides were back on the pitch.

Werder Bremen didn't open champagne at half-time, nor did they have any carelessness.

And so, the torture of Schalke continued!

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Werder Bremen scored another goal through a corner kick tactic.

Seven minutes later, Lin Quan scored directly through a fluctuating free kick, and the score became 6:0!

In the 78th minute, substitute Petersen fired a difficult volley in the penalty area to add another goal for Werder Bremen.

7:0！

Weser Stadium has long since boiled over and has completely turned into a sea of joy for the Parrot Legion fans!

For Werder Bremen fans, the tickets for this match are well worth it!

Not only did they complete a hearty revenge, but they also humiliated their opponents again and again.

By the time the team scored the third goal to seal the win, their mentality was completely relaxed and the rest of the game was completely immersed in enjoying the game.

The singing and cheers never stopped, and every time the team scored, the fans at the scene would respond with warm applause and cheers.

Some fans even shouted so many goals that they were about to smoke.

It's a crazy race!

As for Schalke fans, when Werder Bremen scored the fifth goal in the second half, they couldn't stand it anymore and began to leave the stadium one after another.

They are not masochists, seeing that the team has been broken, and if they continue to watch, they can only witness a tragedy happening with their own eyes.

It's better to leave this sad place early, out of sight, as if today's game never happened.

"It's so cool, it's time to do it!"

Although the shouts were already smoking, the interest of the Werder Bremen fans was not diminished at all.

This game gave them a good breath of bad air!

"This is the way to deal with these vulgar miners!"

"Haha, this tragedy will haunt the Schalkes for a lifetime, and they will be scared to wake up from their dreams!"

Fans don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, anyway, it's not their own team that has a tragedy, and they, as the party that created the tragedy, naturally can't feel the sadness and shame of the opponent.

Not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans on the Internet were shocked by the game.

"What's the situation? Werder Bremen 7:0 Schalke 04 at home, and the game is not over yet? ”

"Is the difference so big? I'm afraid this is a tragedy, right? ”

"It's not just a tragedy, this is simply a bloodbath and a slaughter!"

"Will this be the biggest defeat in Schalke 04's history?"

7:0, such a disparity in the score appeared on a strong team like Schalke 04, which is indeed very, very rare.

Although there are many long-time fans who have watched the game online for many years, they have rarely seen such a disparity in scores before, especially in Schalke.

"I checked and Schalke's biggest away defeat came in 1966-1967 away at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where they lost 11-0, which was their biggest defeat in team history."

"It seems like good news for Schalke fans, at least they don't have to worry about a record loss at Weser Stadium."

"That's really 'good news'!"

After scoring the seventh goal, Schaaf began to replace Lin Quan and other main players one after another.

Winning the game and taking a bad breath and creating a tragedy for the opponent is enough.

There is no need to waste energy on the pitch in pursuit of more goals, after all, they will have to prepare for the semi-finals of the German Cup in addition to the league to play.

Finally eliminated Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and won two more games to win the cup, you can't drop the chain at this critical moment, right?

Without Lin Quan and De Bruyne, Werder Bremen's offensive firepower has dropped a lot.

The substitutes came on and were very positive, but they didn't score again.

In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Schalke 04 with a score of 7:0 at home.

With this defeat, Schalke 04 are six points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the standings and have only a theoretical hope of reaching the Champions League places.

And the disparity in the score of this game also caused a huge shock in German football.

Many celebrities and experts have said that they don't understand, the strength of the two teams on paper is not much different, and even Schalke's lineup is more balanced.

But why such a disparity in scores?

Experts and media from all walks of life have given their own analysis

"I think the reason for such a huge disparity is mainly due to the excellent performance of Werder Bremen in midfield, especially De Bruyne!"

'In the last game against Schalke, Kevin De Bruyne went off injured and he played with a vengeance mentality and everyone can see the result, he scored a goal in this game, provided two assists, and made three goals alone!

"Since the second half of the season, the Belgian's performance in the midfield position has become more and more calm, more and more like a midfield master, and Chelsea's eight million dollars are really worth it!"

Some people think that De Bruyne has a lot of credit, and of course some people think that Lin Quan's credit is even greater.

"Lin Quan's performance in the front court in this game is obvious to all, he not only scored two goals, but also completed three assists, he made five out of seven goals, it can be said that without his outstanding performance, this game Werder Bremen would not have won so easily!"

In addition to the outstanding performances of the twin stars De Bruyne and Lin Quan, some people believe that it is the credit of head coach Schaaf.

"Coach Schaff's coaching style this season has been very different from the previous one, where he was only good offensively, but this season, especially in the second half of the season, his defensive improvement is evident."

"Since the game against Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen's defense has suddenly become a lot more solid."

"In the last six games, Werder Bremen have only conceded a total of 2 goals, and it is becoming more and more difficult for other teams to threaten Werder Bremen's goal!"

Werder Bremen has become stronger, and this is almost the consensus of the entire Bundesliga.

But no one knows how strong they are, and Werder Bremen also used seven consecutive wins in one round to show everyone how strong they are at the moment.

A week later, Werder Bremen beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-1 away to make it five wins in a row.

Three days later, in the semi-finals of the German Cup, they beat Wolfsburg 4-1 at home to reach the final and make it seven wins in a row in league and cup competitions.

In Bild's post-match report, the caption was added to the base map of the Werder Bremen crowd hugging and celebrating – Champion, here we come!
