Chapter 92 The tenacious clover [Third update, please be the first to order! 】

On October 26, Werder Bremen went to an away game to challenge Fürth.

Fürth Club is located in the small town of Fürth in Bavaria, which is a small city with an area of ​​only 65 square kilometers and a population of only 110,000.

Not to mention that it cannot be compared with big cities like Munich and Berlin, even compared with Bremen, it seems a bit small.

This season is the first time that Fürth has been promoted to the Bundesliga. For them, getting enough points, staying in relegation, and staying on the highest stage of German football is the only pursuit of their entire team.

However, this goal seems a bit difficult. Before the start of the ninth round of the league, Fürth won one, drew two, and lost five out of eight league rounds. It only accumulated 5 points and tied for last place in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg. .

Although the team's record is not good, Felt's football market is still good.

Perhaps because it was promoted to the First Division for the first time, the fans in the small town of Fürth are very supportive of their team.

Their attendance rate in every game is above 80%, and the attendance rate in individual rounds can even exceed 90%.

A total of 17,000 fans came to Playmobile Stadium, which can accommodate 18,000 spectators, for this game, with an attendance rate of more than 90%.

Clover fans held high the team's flags, fan scarves, and carried various slogans and banners supporting the team, showing their support and love for the team without hesitation.

There are many football clubs in Germany, and most of them have their own base.

Like Fürth and Hoffenheim, even if the team is located in a remote and sparsely populated town, it can still get a lot of support.

Even if the number of fans is small, the fans can create a cheering sound at their home stadium that is not inferior to that of fans of wealthy clubs.

Just like this game, Shamrock fans sang the team's anthem throughout the game, cheering for the team regardless of whether the team was leading or lagging behind.

This deeply touched Lin Quan. If domestic football has such a solid community atmosphere and football culture, why worry about the great cause not being prosperous?

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Felt launched a fierce attack on Werder Bremen at the beginning.

The team is already at the bottom of the table and has nothing to lose for them.

If you lose, you will still be at the bottom, but if you work hard at this time, even if you get one point, it will save your life!

Perhaps the cheers from the fans at the scene had an effect. In just eight minutes, Fürth's forward Edu scored against Werder Bremen.

This fantastic start completely ignited the atmosphere at the scene. This goal made the Shamrock fans seem to see the dawn of victory.

They were so happy that they hugged each other excitedly.

The team is so eager for a victory, these precious three points are life-saving for them!

But their joy did not last long. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Lin Quan broke through from the wing and cut inside. He hit a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area and broke Felt's goal. The score changed. It became 1:1, and the three-pointers that Felt fans longed for flew away by two points.

The moment Lin Quan scored, Playmobile Stadium seemed to be equipped with a muffler, and it was silent for an instant.

Shamrock fans seemed unable to accept this reality, and some of the more fragile fans even cried.

Seeing the opponent's fans feeling so uncomfortable, Lin Quan no longer wanted to celebrate.

Fürth's strength is indeed at the bottom level. Their players can only be regarded as the Bundesliga level and may not be able to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga.

It was actually quite unexpected that they could last so long in the first half.

If they hadn't scored a goal right at the start, which boosted their morale and kept them in a state of excitement.

According to Werder Bremen's offensive firepower, at least two goals have been scored in the first half.

But after a moment of silence, the Fürth fans wiped away their tears and continued to wave flags and sing the team anthem.

The team has not been relegated yet, and there are still many rounds in the league. As long as we persist, there will be hope!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Werder Bremen's offensive was overwhelming.

De Bruyne and Lin Quan scored in the 55th and 68th minutes.

The score became 3:1, and there was not much time left for Felt.

After Lin Quan scored the third goal, Schaaf on the coaching bench breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been worried that Lin Quan's condition would be affected after what happened at Fritz's house.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

With the score leading, the opponent's offense has lost its structure, and the defense is running around like a headless chicken.

Schaff didn't think the opponent could come back, so he started to make substitutions. Lin Quan, Elia and Fritz were replaced one after another.

Due to De Bruyne's recent hot form and his initiative to stay on the court, Schaff did not put him in the substitution list.

In the final stage of the game, Fürth still couldn't find a way to break Werder Bremen's goal.

De Bruyne, on the other hand, scored another goal in the final period, completing a brace and helping Werder Bremen beat Fürth 4:1 away from home.

The Shamrock fans were extremely uncomfortable. Before Lin Quan scored in the first half, they thought the team could get their second victory of the season.

But the final result was heartbreaking, but they did not blame the team or players.

Even when the team was lagging behind by a big score, they still stayed at the scene, singing the team song and cheering for the team.

With fans like this, even if the Shamrocks are relegated, they can rise again in the future, right?

…

After this victory, Werder Bremen's points reached 18 points, but because Schalke 04 also won, their ranking has not changed and they are still fourth.

There was a big upset in this round of competition. Bayern Munich, who had been undefeated in eight rounds, lost to Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 1:2 at their home court, while Frankfurt, the biggest dark horse this season, lost to Frankfurt away from home. to Stuttgart.

The losses of the top two teams caused certain changes in the standings.

Bayern Munich ranks first with 22 points, and Schalke 04 has overtaken Frankfurt to second place with 20 points.

Dark horse Frankfurt currently ranks third with 19 points, and Werder Bremen, one point lower than them, ranks fourth.

Four days later, the second round of the German Cup started.

In this round of games, Werder Bremen is at home and faces Augsburg, a team they have played against in the league before.

More than 20 days ago, Werder Bremen returned home in defeat at Augsburg.

In that game, Lin Quan was suspended due to injury. Werder Bremen, whose lineup was incomplete, was passive throughout the game and was kicked three goals by the opponent, setting a record for the most goals conceded in a single game this season.

Therefore, Werder Bremen, who vowed to avenge their humiliation, struck hard in this game. They scored six goals at the Weser Stadium and defeated Augsburg with a score of 6:2, knocking the opponent out of the competition. .

In this game, Lin Quan had two passes and one shot and was replaced in the 65th minute.

De Bruyne still played the entire game, scoring one goal and also providing three assists, ranking first in the German Cup assists list.

After advancing to the third round, everyone at Werder Bremen was very happy.

But their good mood did not last long. In the subsequent third round draw of the German Cup, Werder Bremen had bad luck.

They drew the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich. This is the third time they have played against Bayern this season.

"Here we go, are we in conflict with Bayern? Why do we always have Bayern!"

Werder Bremen's players don't like playing Bayern, even if they have a better record against Bayern this season.

However, the German Cup is not a cup with low gold content like the Telecom Cup. As the most important cup in Germany, the German Cup trophy is very attractive to all clubs.

Therefore, Bayern will not give up the German Cup easily.

It is very difficult for them to replicate the miracle of the Telecom Cup.

After the draw results came out, few people were optimistic about Werder Bremen.

Although they had previously tied with Bayern at home, the occasional upset or two does not mean much.

The gap in hard power between the two teams exists objectively, and everyone can see this.

However, Werder Bremen did not give up the game early because the opponent was very strong, especially after the head coach and club manager announced that their goal this season was to enter the European theater, it was even more impossible for them to give up.

Winning the German Cup will directly lead to a spot in the European competition, which is equivalent to achieving the goal ahead of schedule!

Moreover, meeting Bayern earlier means that they will not meet each other again in subsequent games.

In this case, in the final stage of the league, they will not have to choose between encountering strong opponents in the cup.

If they are eliminated, that might be a good thing. At least they can focus on the league and not be distracted by the cup.

…

Five days later, the 10th round of the Bundesliga started. Werder Bremen defeated the challenger Mainz 2:1 at home and regained its third consecutive victory.

Due to spending too much energy in the Champions League, Schalke 04 lost an upset to Hoffenheim in the instinctive game, while Frankfurt was tenaciously tied at home by Clover Fürth.

After this victory, Werder Bremen rose to second place in the standings with 21 points.

They are 4 points behind Bayern Munich at the top of the table. Although the point difference does not seem big, about two games, it is probably impossible to expect Bayern to lose two games in a row.

On November 8, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage begins.

In this round of games, Bayern Munich faces the challenge of French Ligue 1 team Lille at home.

In order to better observe the competitive state of Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen coach Schaff went to the Allianz Arena to watch the game in person.

In this game, Bayern showed their terrifying ability to cause tragedy. Only 33 minutes into the first half, the score on the field had already become 5:0!

Bayern Munich scored five goals in the 5th minute, 18th minute, 23rd minute, 28th minute and 33rd minute respectively by Bastian Schweinsteiger, Pizarro and Balmonte.

Werder Bremen's team history's leading scorer, the 34-year-old Pizarro even scored three goals and completed a hat trick.

Seeing this scene, Shaf frowned.

Bayern has become stronger than before, their offense has become more impactful, their defense has a better sense of layering, and both offense and defense have made huge progress!

It may be really difficult to defeat Bayern like this!
