Chapter 64
It was difficult to win Musta, and this feeling of regaining something made Werder Bremen very excited.
Since the start of this season, Werder Bremen has won four consecutive victories in all competitions.
And their opponents in the next round of the German Cup also appeared. They met the Bundesliga team Augsburg.
Although the opponent is a Bundesliga team, they are currently ranked 16th in the standings and are in the relegation zone.
For relegation teams, relegation in the league is their top priority, and cup games are a type that can be given up.
Therefore, Werder Bremen is full of confidence from top to bottom.
They felt that it might be easier to play against Augsburg than against Musta.
There is a saying that good luck will not always favor a person.
In the fifth round of the league, Werder Bremen challenged Freiburg away.
Werder Bremen are currently third in the standings, while Freiburg are eighth.
Judging from the rankings of both sides, it seems that Werder Bremen is more dominant.
But the result of this game was surprising. When the final whistle sounded, the score on the field was 2:1, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.
Werder Bremen lost their first Bundesliga game of the season on the road, ending their three-game winning streak.
In this game, Werder Bremen seemed to be lowered. Four goalposts were hit in the whole game, and two goals were blown offside.
After the game, the players were so depressed that they had an absolute advantage, but they couldn't score a goal, and even if they scored a goal, they were blown away.
In this game, Lin Quan hit a goal post, scored a goal and was blown offside, and his record of scoring goals in four consecutive games was also terminated.
If you count the last German Cup game, his scoring drought has exceeded 100 minutes.
But he doesn't really care if he scores or not, as long as he can win the game and get points, that's fine.
What he can't accept the most is that he neither scored nor the team won the game.
After the game, the attitude of media reporters towards Werder Bremen changed immediately.
The media who touted them before, thinking that they could become dark horses in the league and create chaos for the top giants, criticized them one after another.
They criticized Werder Bremen's offense for relying too much on Lin Quan and De Bruyne. Once the two are restricted by their opponents, they will lose their offensive threat.
In addition, they believe that coach Schaff's transformation of the team's defense has failed.
Werder Bremen has conceded 8 goals in five rounds this season, averaging 1.6 goals per game, ranking third from the bottom among the 18 Bundesliga teams.
Their shortcomings of strong offense and weak defense have still not been improved.
Although Werder Bremen currently ranks at the top of the standings, if they can't change these shortcomings of the team, they will definitely not go far in the league.
In fact, if they only lost one game, the reporters would not criticize Werder Bremen so fiercely.
The reason why the reporters criticized them like this is mainly because Werder Bremen's next opponent is the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich is in a very hot state this season. They beat Wolfsburg 3:0 in this round, and they have already achieved a five-game winning streak.
If Werder Bremen does not lose this round of the game and faces the Bundesliga hegemony with a four-game winning streak, then the outside world may think that they still have a chance to break their wrists with Bayern.
But they had already lost a game before the top duel with Bayern, and the morale level is no longer the same as Bayern.
Coupled with the huge gap between the two teams in terms of hard power, almost no one in the outside world is optimistic about them. Everyone thinks that Werder Bremen will lose to Bayern Munich at home.
Bayern Munich has become even more terrifying this season. The addition of Martinez has brought their strength to a higher level.
They have achieved a record of complete victories in the three fronts of the league, the Champions League group stage and the German Cup, and they are currently undefeated.
Any team that played against Bayern was defeated by their luxurious midfield and frontcourt attack group.
With the current state of Werder Bremen, it is really hard to imagine how they can defeat such an undefeated team!
But not everyone supports Bayern. Dortmund fans hope that Werder Bremen can beat Bayern Munich at home and end the opponent's winning streak.
In this round, Borussia Dortmund challenged the newly promoted Frankfurt in an away game.
Although the latter is a newly promoted horse, it is a dark horse. In addition, Dortmund's poor state this season.
So they attach great importance to this opponent from top to bottom, and they dare not underestimate each other at all.
However, a dark horse is a dark horse after all.
At home in Frankfurt, Dortmund played a crazy game against their opponents.
Royce, Gotze, and Lewandowski scored goals one after another. Dortmund took the lead three times, but was tenaciously equalized by the opponent three times.
In the end, the two sides shook hands with a score of 3:3, which can be described as a lose-lose for both sides.
Frankfurt had been chasing Bayern Munich in points before, but after a draw in this game, they were opened up by Bayern by 2 points.
But Dortmund only scored one point, and they only scored 5 points after 6 rounds. The gap with Bayern continued to widen to 9 points, and the hope of defending the title was getting lower and lower.
If they still want to get their hands on the championship trophy, apart from not being able to make mistakes in the next games, they must continue to win.
It also needs other teams in the league to step up and help them stop Bayern Munich and prevent the opponent from continuing to score.
Otherwise, even if they directly defeated Bayern in the strong dialogue, they would not be able to completely smooth the difference between the two teams.
In the league, there are not many teams capable of threatening Bayern. Apart from them, there are probably only Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is a strange team. They are not strong, but they can especially play against Bayern Munich.
Every time they meet Bayern, their players are very motivated and can perform at a super level, so there is a saying that the pony eats and sleeps to beat Bayern.
As for Werder Bremen, Dortmund feel that their individual players are very threatening, and they may be able to create miracles.
In order to stimulate Werder Bremen to do their best and smash Bayern, Dortmund players publicly cheered Werder Bremen on social media.
Lewandowski tweeted:
Werder Bremen are particularly sharp on the counter-attack. We have suffered against them twice. When facing Bayern Munich, they will definitely continue to use this tactic. I don't think Bayern's defense can stop them. Fight back!
Gotze believes:
Werder Bremen's No. 6 (De Bruyne) player is an excellent midfielder. His creativity and overall situation will help Werder Bremen win.
Royce did not make a public statement, but privately sent Lin Quan, asking: "How many goals do you plan to score against Bayern Munich?"
Seeing Royce's private message, Lin Quan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Royce to contact him actively, and he didn't expect Royce to have such a high opinion of him.
That's Bayern and it's not easy to score goals for them.
But he is not the kind of person who will show timidity, so he replied:
"Of course we can score as much as we can. Don't worry, Werder Bremen will definitely show all our strength against Bayern Munich!"
Seeing Lin Quan's reply, the corner of Royce's mouth couldn't help curling up. He liked this answer.
But the other party returned a message:
"Of course, it's the same when playing Dortmund!"
The smile on Royce's face froze instantly.
……
Because of the loss and the encounter with a strong enemy, before the sixth round of the league, the atmosphere in the Werder Bremen team was very dignified.
Coach Shaf has been keeping a straight face for the past few days, and there is no smile in sight.
The same is true of several assistant coaches, all of them are frowning, obviously not having much confidence in the next game.
This season, Bayern Munich's frontcourt attack group firepower is really terrifying. Robben, Franck Ribery, Mandzukic, Gomez, Thomas Muller and others all have extremely strong scoring ability.
Werder Bremen happened to be a poor defensive team, which made them almost unable to limit the opponent's offense.
Unable to limit the opponent's attack, do you want to fight the opponent's attack?
After the introduction of Martinez, Bayern's midfield has become stronger. It can not only deliver more shells to the team's striker, but also effectively intercept the opponent's attack in the midfield.
Facing such a fully upgraded version of Bayern Munich, is there really a chance of winning against the opponent?
