Chapter 126: Real men fight, Levan, don’t run away!
"It would be great if I wasn't injured, then I could help the team on the field!"
In a house somewhere, a handsome blond young man watched the live game on TV and sighed.
Seeing Lin Quan running all over the field, Royce felt envious.
Why is this guy able to stay healthy all the time, but he is injured four or five times in less than a season?
Something must be wrong!
…
Although Klopp had a heart-to-heart talk with Gotze in the locker room, Gotze also worked hard in the second half to break the cage the opponent had woven for him.
But his efforts had little effect. After most of the game, Werder Bremen's players became more and more proficient in this defensive tactic. All of Gotze's efforts and struggles seemed to them to be in vain. .
Not only that, Lewandowski also received Werder Bremen's attention due to his outstanding performance in the first half.
Schaff replaced Pavlovich, a young defender who spent a huge sum of 650,000 euros during the winter break, and specifically asked him to defend Lewandowski.
Pavlovich is tall and physically strong. Although his skills are not that good, he is very hardworking.
He had an outstanding performance against Bayern's center Mandzukic in the last game at the Allianz Arena.
Although the team was scored five goals by Bayern, he successfully restricted Mandzukic and did not give Mandzukic too many opportunities.
Bayern scored five goals in that game. If Selassie's own goal was deducted, they also scored four goals, but these four goals had nothing to do with Mandzukic.
From this point of view, this young player still has a skill.
After Pavlovich came on the court, he immediately started a real man battle with Lewandowski.
It's okay if Lewandowski doesn't enter the penalty area. Once he enters the penalty area, he will be harassed by the opponent immediately.
Pavlovich had just come on as a substitute and was full of energy. Coupled with his tenacious fighting spirit, he was not discouraged even if he was abused. Lewandowski abused him thousands of times. He treated Lewandowski like his first love.
Lewandowski was annoyed by him.
This guy's skills are very poor. With Lewandowski's escape skills and spiritual movement, it is not difficult to get rid of this guy's entanglement.
But the problem is that this guy is like a weakling who can't be killed. He just stares at Lewandowski. Wherever he goes, the opponent will go. If he stops for a moment, the opponent will pester him and want to play a real man battle game with him!
The key is that the movements of this guy's hands are still very clean. He will pester you, but he will not commit a foul.
Lewandowski is really annoyed to death, and his mentality is about to explode.
Gotze was restricted to death, and Lewandowski was locked up by a strong man.
Although Dortmund's players are working hard to launch attacks, their attacks are becoming more and more loud, and the threat to Werder Bremen's goal is getting lower and lower.
At this time, even the fans at the Weser Stadium could see that Dortmund was out of options!
Dortmund's performance this season is far less impressive than last season.
So far in the league, Dortmund has lost 4 games. The losses include both weak teams such as Hamburg and Wolfsburg, and strong teams such as Schalke 04.
If losing to Schalke 04 in the Ruderby is understandable, then losing to Hamburg twice, both of which were huge defeats, is definitely because their tactics are restricted by their opponents.
Dortmund's outstanding performance last season allowed them to replace Bayern Munich and become the focus of Bundesliga teams.
Therefore, at the beginning of this season, the vast majority of teams will play very conservatively when facing Dortmund, and some teams will even set up their buses to engage in extreme defensive counterattacks.
Faced with this tactic, it is too difficult for Dortmund to win. Once a ball is stolen by the opponent, they may lose.
In this game, Werder Bremen drew on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and summarized a set of very targeted tactics based on the tactics adopted by teams that had defeated Dortmund.
So far, it seems that this tactic has achieved good results.
If Klopp's team wants to become another giant in the Bundesliga, they still have a long way to go.
At the very least, they need to enrich the team's tactical play style, and can't continue to eat everything with one trick.
The reason why Bayern is difficult to play this season is not only because Bayern has a deep bench, but also because Bayern coach Heynckes teaches students according to their aptitude.
He will arrange different tactics based on the different characteristics of the players on the field to fully explore the potential of the players on the field.
This makes it difficult for his opponents to figure out Bayern's true style of play, and it is also difficult to restrict them in a targeted manner.
However, Klopp can no longer care about this at this time.
He replaced a striker, replaced a midfielder, and continued to strengthen the attack.
Two goals behind, and only scoring goals can save the team at this time.
If a goal can be scored, it can activate the team's currently sluggish morale.
With Dortmund's offensive strength, as long as the team's momentum is strong, let alone falling behind by two goals, what's the fear of falling behind by three goals?
The crazy hornet is invincible on this planet!
Sibel came on as a substitute in the 67th minute of the game.
His appearance relieved some pressure on Lewandowski, allowing the latter to find an excellent goal opportunity in the 77th minute.
But it is a pity that Lewandowski was entangled by Pavlovich for dozens of minutes and was in no condition. This shot actually flew into the stands, causing Dortmund fans to burst into uproar.
Not to mention the fans, even Lewandowski hugged his head in annoyance and couldn't understand the goal.
When Klopp saw Lewandowski hit the goal, he clenched his fists and was ready to pump his fist in celebration.
When he saw the football flying into the stands, he was stunned for a moment, turned around and hammered his fist towards the ceiling of the coaching bench.
The quality of the ceiling of the coach's bench at the Weserstadion is quite good, so it would be fine if he got punched, but Klopp's hand would be.
Although Klopp immediately put his hands behind his back and held them tightly with his other hand, pretending to be a calm expression on his face.
But his suppressed red face and his hands that were still trembling slightly even though he was tightly grasped still betrayed his heart.
This hit will probably hurt a lot!
"Borussia Dortmund's head coach Klopp seemed to be a little emotional. The courtside camera recorded a struggle between him and the ceiling of Werder Bremen's bench."
Taking advantage of the dead ball time, several commentators in the commentary box took the opportunity to joke.
"Haha, the team is passive on the field, Klopp is probably angry, right?
However, it is obviously not a wise choice to be angry with the roof of the Weser Stadium. Klopp seems to be completely at a disadvantage in this encounter and has no hope of winning. "
As time passed, the Dortmund players on the field began to become impatient.
In the 81st minute, De Bruyne received the ball and was about to counterattack. Nuri Shaheen couldn't grab the ball from behind, so he pushed De Bruyne directly in desperation.
De Bruyne was just about to turn around and get away when he was pushed like this and immediately fell to the ground and slid forward on the lawn for a long distance.
Shaheen already regretted it when he took action, but when he saw the other party's "exaggerated" actions, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up.
He stepped forward, not to get up at Radbrune, but to ask why the other party made such an exaggerated flop. Was it to frame him and get him to take a card?
De Bruyne just got up from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, Shaheen pushed him to the ground again.
Now, the Werder Bremen players were not happy.
Hunter, a man of few words, flew up and kicked Shaheen directly in the chest.
Shaheen hurriedly dodged but was still kicked in the side by the opponent. He let out an exaggerated scream and fell to the ground in a more exaggerated posture than De Bruyne's just jumping forward.
Hunter's actions aroused dissatisfaction among Dortmund fans, who quickly gathered around and wanted to beat Hunter.
How can Werder Bremen players allow their teammates to be bullied!
Besides, it was the Dortmund players who started this matter.
So, they also rushed forward, and a large-scale pushing and shoving broke out between the two sides on the field, and it was about to develop in the direction of full martial arts.
The referee was about to rush over to warn Shaheen with a yellow card. After seeing Hunter's move, he took out the ruby card without hesitation and sent him off.
The Werder Bremen players were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision because he only punished Hunter and not the Dortmund players.
The referee showed a yellow card to the Werder Bremen player who protested, then took out a red card and walked towards the initiator of the conflict.
Shaheen tried to explain to the referee, but the referee was livid and ignored his explanation. He directly showed him a red card and sent him off.
Each side was sent off a central midfielder, and the number of people on the field became 10.
The situation didn't seem to have changed much, and neither side suffered much.
However, the conflict lasted for five minutes before it subsided. By the time the referee finally calmed down the situation on the field, the game time was almost over.
In the last few minutes, Dortmund's players tried to launch an attack, but under the concerted defense of Werder Bremen's generals, they were unable to break through Werder Bremen's goal and ultimately had to accept an away defeat. result.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Weser Stadium turned into a sea of joy.
Countless Werder Bremen fans cried with joy, their team reached the semi-finals!
All the opponents who have reached the semi-finals have also been revealed. Werder Bremen will compete with Wolfsburg in the next game.
If they can eliminate Wolfsburg, they will reach the final again after four years.
Their opponents in the final will be from Stuttgart and Freiburg.
There is no doubt that this year is the most promising year for Werder Bremen to win the German Cup.
All the traditional strong teams in the Bundesliga have been eliminated at this time, and Werder Bremen is the strongest among the remaining four teams!
As soon as the game ended, the betting website updated the odds of winning the German Cup - Werder Bremen topped the list with an odds of 1.35!
After the game, reporters surrounded Lin Quan on the sidelines and wanted to interview him.
After crossing the high mountain of Dortmund and successfully reaching the semi-finals, Lin Quan was in a good mood, so he readily accepted the reporters' interview requests.
"Lin, how are you feeling now? Before this game, did you ever think that you could win Bayern Munich and Dortmund in a row and reach the semi-finals of the German Cup?"
Lin Quan smiled and shook his head:
"To be honest, if someone had told us before the game that we would face the two biggest powers in the Bundesliga in the next two rounds, I don't think anyone would have thought we had any hope of winning."
The reporters were also surprised to see Lin Quan's honest answer, so they continued to ask:
"Then what do you think Werder Bremen relied on to overcome these two mountains and reach the semi-finals?"
"Of course it depends on the full preparation of the entire team, tenacity and teamwork, and of course, a little bit of luck."
The reporters laughed. This game against Dortmund was not bad. In the previous game against Bayern, Werder Bremen was able to win thanks to their good luck.
However, seeing that Lin Quan did not take credit for himself, but instead gave all the credit to the entire team, this made the reporters admire him a little.
"Lin, you have now reached the semi-finals, and your strongest opponents have been eliminated. Are you confident of winning the German Cup?"
"If I say we are not confident of winning the championship, then you will definitely call me hypocritical!"
Lin Quan's words made some reporters feel a little unnatural. They did have such a plan.
"Yes, our goal is to reach the finals and win the championship. This is not because we disrespect our opponents, but because we have a heart to win the championship. Our desire for the championship is no worse than anyone else. Trying to stop us!"
The reporters were very surprised. Lin Quan was a low-key person and rarely said such harsh words.
But today, he made a declaration to win the championship!
They already realized that this would be explosive news.
…
Sure enough, the next morning, Lin Quan saw the newspaper Mr. William subscribed to on the dining table.
Most of the front-page headlines in newspapers are related to the German Cup game:
"Win the Championship Declaration, Werder Bremen's No. 10 vows to bring the championship trophy back to Bremen!" 》
"Lin Quan: I'm already thinking about my opponent in the final!" 》
There are also some discussions involving Werder Bremen’s outstanding performance this season:
"Grassroots Counterattack?" How did Werder Bremen eliminate the two giants Bayern and Dortmund? 》
"The Parrot Legion has made a strong recovery, or will it regain its former glory?" 》
"Is the Bundesliga going to change?" What does the rise of Werder Bremen bring us? 》
Of course, because there were very disharmonious scenes in this game, and Klopp, who had nowhere to vent after losing, also took the opportunity to spray Werder Bremen, reporters seized the opportunity to make a big deal about this matter. Scope coverage:
"Klopp criticized Werder Bremen for their rough playing style and suggested that Werder Bremen should be renamed the Boxing Legion!" 》
"Dortmund will choose to appeal and apply for severe punishment of fouling players! 》
"The stadium turned into a boxing ring, Werder Bremen and Dortmund almost broke out into a full-scale conflict!" 》
The last report made Lin Quan a little embarrassed because the unscrupulous reporter put him in the center of the page, making him look like a bully on the court!
Seeing this photo, Lin Quan felt that he was more unjust than Dou E!
By the way, guys are there to break up the fight, not to fight!
Well, I really want to give Shaheen a slap in the face to vent his anger for De Bruyne.
But after this guy was kicked down by Hunter, he lay on the ground and rolled around. Even if he wanted to beat him, he couldn't find a chance!
As a result, I went to break up the fight, and you took a vicious photo of me?
You have ulterior motives!
But not to mention, this photo looks quite domineering!
In the photo, Lin Quan is protecting De Bruyne behind him, glaring murderously at the Dortmund players who want to cause trouble for De Bruyne, like an old hen protecting its chicks!
