Chapter 135 The Bloody Massacre Shocked the Football World!
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. This principle is also applicable on the football field.
If Schalke 04 is not timid at this time, as long as they can seize the opportunity of Werder Bremen's full pressure and make several successful counterattacks, they will have a great chance to score.
But Schalke gave up. They chose to shrink their troops and retract their own half to strengthen defense, intending to withstand Werder Bremen's offensive frenzy.
This choice played right into coach Schaff's plan. Originally, in his plan, if Schalke did not give up and chose to fight against them, Werder Bremen would have to suspend their offensive for at most ten minutes. Attacked.
First of all, continuous attacks consume a lot of physical energy of the players and cannot last long.
Secondly, players who cannot attack for a long time will become impatient and may easily lose the ball.
But now the opponent has few people in the frontcourt, and almost all the players have retreated to their own half.
They no longer have the threat of counterattack, so why are Werder Bremen so polite?
Just attack and that's it!
As a result, the situation on the field quickly became Werder Bremen's siege around Schalke 04's goal.
"This game is so strange. After all, Schalke 04 is a strong team that has entered the knockout stages of the Champions League. Why are they so passive on the scene? I have never seen them be so passive when they played Bayern Munich!"
"Schalke is scared. Werder Bremen has no performance pressure and can attack boldly with confidence, but Schalke 04 is different!"
"Indeed, Schalke 04's schedule is not very friendly to them. Next, they have to face strong teams at the top of the standings. Every game is a tough battle. I am afraid they dare not let go in this game for fear of exhaustion. If it’s too big, it will make it difficult to play in the next game!”
"Speaking of which, why did Schalke fall to sixth place in the standings? Weren't they all in the top three in the past few years?"
"The reason is very simple. Werder Bremen has risen this season. They have taken away Dortmund's position. Dortmund has occupied Schalke 04's position. Coupled with the outstanding performance of Leverkusen and the dark horse of newly promoted Eintracht Frankfurt, Schalke Erke dropped to sixth place!"
"Haha, after all, Schalke is still the best. Even if they can't beat the first three teams, it's not difficult to beat Leverkusen and Frankfurt. But in the end, I didn't seize the opportunity. Who can blame me?"
"The competition for the Champions League seats in the Bundesliga this season looks so fierce. Under Werder Bremen, the difference between third and sixth place is not big. It seems that everyone has a chance!"
"The third-placed Dortmund position is relatively stable. Except for Bayern Munich, which they have to face in the 32nd round, the remaining opponents are very weak, so it is relatively easy to score points!"
"Fourth-placed Leverkusen's schedule is not as good as Dortmund's. They will encounter Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 in the next six rounds. If they are not careful, they may fall off the standings!"
"Haha, I think the worst one is probably Schalke 04.
In addition to facing Werder Bremen, which is second in the standings, in this game, they will also have to fight against Bayer Leverkusen, a direct competitor for the Champions League seats.
In the next game, we have to face the challenge of Frankfurt, which is fifth in the standings. Each of these three games is a tough battle, especially the game with Leverkusen. If we lose, there is basically no hope of winning. Entering the Champions League next season. "
Werder Bremen's players don't care who Schalke faces next, they just beat their opponents to death.
In the 28th minute, Lin Quan dribbled the ball in front of the penalty area and was tripped by Neustadt, giving Werder Bremen an excellent free kick opportunity.
De Bruyne fired a very high-quality elevator ball. Schalke's goalkeeper had no reaction to the ball and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Werder Bremen took the lead to break the deadlock on the field.
After the goal, the morale of Werder Bremen's players was boosted.
After taking a one-goal lead, they felt more confident and less afraid of losing the ball.
Facing Werder Bremen's stormy attack, Schalke's goal soon fell behind again.
Just five minutes later, Lin Quan received a pass from De Bruyne in the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he picked up the ball, passed the goalkeeper and then pushed the ball into the empty goal.
The score became 2:0, and Schalke's morale showed signs of collapse!
Take advantage of your illness to kill you. If it were the previous season, after leading by two goals, Werder Bremen might choose to stop.
But now, the enemies between the two teams are extremely jealous of each other. Not only will Werder Bremen not stop, but they will rub salt in Schalke's wounds!
At the 38th minute of the first half, De Bruyne's long-range shot caused the Schalke goalkeeper to make a save and the football rolled into the penalty area.
There was chaos in the small penalty area, with players from both sides fighting for the football.
In the chaos, Lin Quan kicked the ball into the goal before the goalkeeper could confiscate it.
3:0!
Before the half ended, Werder Bremen led Schalke by a big score.
But it's not over yet!
In the injury time of the first half, Lin Quan moved the ball into the penalty area. Anautovic overwhelmed the opponent's defender and headed the ball into Schalke's goal!
4:0!
Crazy, crazy!
Werder Bremen has gone completely crazy!
This game is already heading towards a tragedy!
Schalke's players have completely lost their fighting spirit, and their faces are full of frustration and confusion.
They themselves also knew why their performance was so poor. They allowed the opponent to score four goals in just half time!
Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half in time, allowing Schalke's players to breathe a little.
Otherwise, with their current state, they may continue to lose goals if they continue to play.
…
"You guys did a great job, keep playing like this in the second half!"
In the locker room, Coach Schaaf praised the team's performance and encouraged them to keep up their efforts.
Obviously, Coach Schaaf has no intention of stopping.
Now that they have raised the butcher's knife, no matter what they do, they will suffer a tragedy. How can they give up halfway?
On the visiting team's side, Schalke's coach conducted what he considered to be an "impassioned" mobilization, trying to awaken the players' fighting spirit so that they could regain their form in the second half.
But judging from the reaction of the players, his agitation had little effect.
Schalke's players were completely stunned, and the forty-five minutes of the first half were simply torture for them.
When they thought about the torture and humiliation they would suffer from their opponents in the second half, they didn't even want to play the game.
The opponent has gone crazy and scored four goals in the first half. Who knows how many more goals they can score in the second half?
If there is a tragedy in the away game, almost all of these players will be nailed to the pillar of shame!
At this moment, they just hope to escape from this ghost place Weser Stadium as soon as possible.
If possible, they never want to return to this sad place.
But just as life must go on, of course the second half of the game must also be played!
Fifteen minutes later, the intermission ended and the players from both sides returned to the playing field again.
Werder Bremen did not pop out the champagne at halftime, nor did they show any carelessness.
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 with an erratic free kick, and the score became 6:0!
In the 78th minute, substitute Peterson fired a difficult volley in the penalty area, giving Werder Bremen another victory.
7:0!
The Weser Stadium has already been boiling and has completely turned into a sea of joy for Parrot fans!
For Werder Bremen fans, the tickets for this game are really worth it!
Not only did they complete a hearty revenge, but they also humiliated their opponents time and time again.
When the team scored the third goal and sealed the victory, their mentality was completely relaxed, and the rest of the time was completely immersed in enjoying the beauty of the game.
The singing and cheering at the scene never stopped. Every time the team scored a goal, the fans at the scene would respond with warm applause and cheers.
Some fans even shouted so hard that their throats were almost smoking because the team scored so many goals.
This is really a crazy game!
As for the Schalke fans, when Werder Bremen scored the fifth goal in the second half, they couldn't stand it anymore and began to leave one after another.
They are not masochists. They see that the team has been destroyed, and if they continue to watch, they can only witness a tragedy.
It's better to leave this sad place early, turn a blind eye, and pretend that today's game never happened.
"It feels so good, this is how you should fuck them!"
Although their throats were filled with smoke from shouting, the Werder Bremen fans' interest did not diminish at all.
This game made them take a good breath of bad breath!
"This is the simple and crude way to deal with these vulgar miners!"
"Haha, this tragedy will haunt the Schalke people for the rest of their lives, scaring them awake even in their dreams!"
It is not a big deal for the fans to watch the excitement. Anyway, it is not their own team that caused the tragedy. As the party that caused the tragedy, they naturally cannot feel the sadness and shame of their opponents.
Not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans online were shocked by this game.
"What's going on? Werder Bremen 7-0 Schalke 04 at home, and the game isn't over yet?"
"Is the score difference so big? Is there a tragedy?"
"It's not just a tragedy, this is simply a bloodbath and massacre!"
"Will this be the biggest defeat in the history of Schalke 04?"
7:0. It is indeed very, very rare for such a disparity to appear against a strong team like Schalke 04.
Although there are many old fans on the Internet who have watched football for many years, they have rarely seen such a disparity in scores before, especially against Schalke.
"I checked and found that Schalke's biggest away defeat occurred when they faced Monchengladbach away from home in the 1966-1967 season. They defeated their opponent 0:11. That was also the biggest defeat in their team history. "
"This seems to be good news for Schalke fans. At least they don't have to worry about breaking the team's losing record at the Weser Arena."
“That’s really ‘good news’!”
After scoring the seventh goal, Schaff began to replace Lin Quan and other main players one after another.
After winning the game, he let out a bad breath and caused a tragedy for his opponent. This was enough.
There is no need for the main players to waste their energy on the court in pursuit of more goals. After all, in addition to the league to play, they also have to prepare for the German Cup semi-finals.
After finally eliminating Bayern Munich and Dortmund, we can win the cup in two more games. We can't let things slip at this critical moment, right?
Without Lin Quan and De Bruyne, Werder Bremen's offensive firepower has dropped a lot.
Although the substitutes performed very actively after coming on, they did not score again.
In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Schalke 04 at home with a score of 7:0.
After losing this game, Schalke 04 is 6 points behind Leverkusen in the standings, and there is only a theoretical hope of reaching the Champions League.
The disparity in the score of this game also caused a huge shock in the German football world.
Many celebrities and experts expressed their incomprehension. The paper strength of the two teams is not much different, and Schalke's lineup is even more balanced.
But why was there such a disparity in the score?
Various experts and media have given their own analysis
"I think the reason for such a disparity in the score is mainly due to the outstanding performance of Werder Bremen in the midfield and frontcourt, especially De Bruyne!"
"When facing Schalke in the last game, De Bruyne was injured and retired. He played this game with a revenge mentality. Everyone can see the result. He scored a goal in this game. The ball, sent two assists, and made three goals by one person!"
"Since the second half of the season, the Belgian's performance in the midfield position has become more and more stable, and he has become more and more like a midfield master. The eight million spent by Chelsea is really worth it!"
Some people think that De Bruyne has made greater contributions, and of course some people think that Lin Quan has made greater contributions.
"Lin Quan's performance in the frontcourt in this game is obvious to all. He not only scored two goals, but also completed three assists. He made five of the seven goals. It can be said that without his outstanding performance, this game would not be the same. Werder Bremen won't win so easily!"
In addition to the outstanding performance of the twin stars De Bruyne and Lin Quan, some people also believe that it is the credit of the head coach Schaff.
"Coach Schaff's coaching style this season is very different from the past. In the past, he was only good at offense. But this season, especially in the second half of the season, his improvement in defense is obvious to all."
"Since the game against Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen's defense seems to have suddenly become enlightened and has become much more stable."
"In the past six games, Werder Bremen has only conceded 2 goals in total. It is becoming increasingly difficult for other teams to threaten Werder Bremen's goal!"
Werder Bremen has become stronger, this is almost the consensus of the entire Bundesliga.
But no one knows how strong they are, and Werder Bremen also used a round of seven consecutive victories to let everyone see their current strength.
A week later, Werder Bremen defeated Dusseldorf 3:1 in an away game and once again achieved five consecutive league victories.
Three days later, in the semi-finals of the German Cup, they beat Wolfsburg 4:1 at home and advanced to the final, creating a seventh consecutive victory in the league and cup.
In its report after the game, Bild added the title - Champions, here we come - on the bottom image of Werder Bremen's generals embracing and celebrating!
