Chapter 0173, the era of geniuses

Fike's ferocious tackle caused a clash on the field.

The Bremen players rushed forward to reason with the referee, believing that the foul was definitely a red card, but Silva, Sauer and other Cottbus players also argued that the front tackle was very clean and absolutely not fouled.

In the end, the referee gave Bremen a set-piece in front of the penalty area, only to warn Fick to be careful.

There were also complaints in the Bremen coach's bench, and the assistant coach pulled the fourth official to theorize.

But Schaaf's expression remained the same.

There is no point in arguing about the penalty that has already ended, he is most concerned about the situation of the players.

After being examined by the Bremen team doctor, Diego got up from the ground, his ankle seemed to hurt a little, but it didn't seem to be a big problem.

It was a well-placed set-piece and Diego was ready to take it.

Diego's set-piece skills are top of the pack in Bremen, and he has helped the team win from set-pieces on several occasions over the past two seasons.

You don't need to cover the player, you can retreat slowly, run quickly, and curl the ball very strongly!

The ball went in...... The ball hits the post!

There was nothing Hildebrand could do about it, but luck was on Cottbus's side.

Diego kicked the turf in exasperation, and if it weren't for some slight pain in his ankle, the ball might have gone in.

The home fans were thrilled and escaped; The visiting fans sighed and slapped their hands.

Xander on the sidelines let out a sigh: "We escaped again, but I don't know how long the good luck will last......"

In the next time, according to Yun Sheng's arrangement, Fike went out of the penalty area from time to time to help Li Tie assist in defending Diego, and in the next period of time, Diego did have a lot fewer opportunities.

The reason why Yun Sheng dared to make such an arrangement was because he knew very well that the current Bremen's forward strength was insufficient, and the defensive pressure on his defenders was not great.

Bremen's top scorer Klose moved to Bayern Munich this summer, losing a powerful centre-forward. Although the summer transfer window introduced Almeida and Mosquera two strikers, but they are still a lot worse than Klose, although Bremen played three strikers today, but the threat of the three can't even catch up with Diego alone.

Now that Diego is silent, Cartbus' attack is slowly picking up.

Compared with the 22-year-old Diego, the 20-year-old Yu Hai and the 19-year-old Shahin are younger, because of Adriano's absence, the two were very active in attack today, their breakthroughs and passes, created a lot of chances for Cassano in the middle, and he also had a few dangerous attacks. If it weren't for the brilliant defending of the likes of Bremen centre-back Mertesacker, they might have conceded a goal by now.

Cassano's shot slid past the goal for the second time, and Yun Sheng sighed.

We had good luck defensively today, but we were a little less lucky offensively.

Last night, I drew a C-level [Defensive Bonus] and used it directly in this game. Several defenders did well today, but the team was missing some goal dribbling.

At the end of the first half, the two teams were still unsuccessful.

As the second half began, both sides tried their best to find a goal.

Cassano worked hard, but compared to the previous games, the holes were obvious.

He's not the kind of striker who is particularly physical, and the reason why he has been able to do well in Bari or Roma is because he has a strong centre-forward partner around him to help him attract firepower and create space for him to use his small skills.

It's the same in Cottages, because of Adriano, he's more comfortable, and today it's a little hard to be alone in front.

If Adriano had been present today, with the quality of Shahin and Yu Hai's passes, it is estimated that Cottages would have scored a goal long ago.

The same problem is also on Bremen's side, although Diego is sandwiched by two people and has no chance of breaking through, but his passing is still very threatening. If it weren't for the lack of the strikers, Bremen might have taken the lead long ago.

Both teams played well on the pitch and made a lot of good passes, but they just didn't score.

In the 70th minute of the game, Bremen made a substitution, and Schaff made a decisive substitution, replacing two young strikers, Hundt and Schindler, who were only 20 years old on average.

Schaaf's intention was clear, he wanted the team to score as soon as possible.

On Cartbus's side, Yun Sheng was stretched thin, and he could only replace Sauer and Waxmut, who had declined in physical fitness, and replaced them with Lyerhill and Mittersky.

It's the same substitution, but it's to stabilize the defense. Although Yu Hai, Cassano, Shao Jiayi and others have decreased a lot, the strength of the substitute players is indeed limited, and it is difficult to solve the problem when they play.

In the 81st minute of the game, Yun Sheng replaced Cassano, who had suffered from a serious decline in fitness, and replaced Tretco.

The 20-year-old Poland had a great chance to counter-attack when he came on the pitch, but in the final shot, Bremen centre-back Mertesacker touched the ball on his toes and the ball slid out of the goal, and Tretko missed the chance to be a hero.

In the 89th minute, Diego suddenly fired a shot into the far corner with the outside of his foot close to the left wing, and Hildebrand was a little up front, he quickly retreated and left the ball in front of the goal line in a split second before it went into the net.

Fick took the ball back to the front before Bremen centre-forward Rosenberg arrived, defusing the danger.

The second half was intense, with few downtime, so only one minute of stoppage time was given.

In the final minute, both teams had another chance each, but both missed the goal.

Shao Jiayi suddenly stepped forward and his burst shot was saved in the near corner.

Diego played a Marseille slalom in front of Leshir and fired a very stretched half-volley that went just wide of the goal.

The whistle blew at the end of the game and it was a very exciting game that ended 0-0.

Both teams put on a wonderful performance, and the fans of both teams in the stands gave applause to themselves, not only for themselves, but also for their opponents.

Schroeder in the live broadcast room said with emotion: "Bremen has the young Brazilian genius Diego and the German central defender Mertesacker; And Ketbus also has young Adriano and Cassano, as well as younger Yu Hai, Fike, and Tretko. In this season, not only these two teams, but not just the Bundesliga, many European teams have had a lot of talented players, and I dare say they are leading a new era! ”

"The era of geniuses has come!"
