Football: Copy the attributes of peak Messi at the beginning

The difficult win against Mustafa, this feeling of regaining something that was lost made everyone at Werder Bremen very excited.

Since the start of this season, Werder Bremen has achieved 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, staying relegated in the league is their top priority, and the cup competition is a type that can be given up.

Therefore, everyone at Werder Bremen is full of confidence.

They felt that playing against Augsburg might be easier than playing against Mustafa.

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 has the advantage.

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 in front and the visiting team in behind.

Werder Bremen lost their first Bundesliga match of the season on the road, ending their three-game winning streak.

In this game, Werder Bremen seemed to have been demoted. Four goals were hit in the game, and two goals were called for offside.

The players were extremely depressed after the game. They obviously had an absolute advantage, but they just couldn't score, and even if they did, they were disallowed.

In this game, Lin Quan hit a goal post and scored a goal that was called offside. His record of scoring goals in four consecutive games was also ended.

If you include the last German Cup game, his goal drought has exceeded 100 minutes.

But it doesn't matter to him whether he scores or not. As long as he can win the game and get points, that's fine.

What he couldn't accept the most was that he neither scored nor the team won the game.

After the game, the attitude of media reporters towards Werder Bremen immediately changed.

The media, which had previously praised them and believed they could become dark horses in the league and create chaos for the top clubs, criticized them one after another.

They criticized Werder Bremen's offense for relying too much on Lin Quan and De Bruyne. Once these two are restricted by their opponents, they lose their offensive threat.

In addition, they believe that coach Schaff's transformation of the team's defense has been a failure.

Werder Bremen has conceded 8 goals in five games 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 not been improved.

Although Werder Bremen currently ranks at the top of the standings, if they cannot change these shortcomings of the team, they will definitely not go far in the league.

In fact, if they only lost one game, reporters would not criticize Werder Bremen so fiercely.

The reason why reporters criticized them in this way is mainly because Werder Bremen's next opponent is Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich is in very hot form this season. They defeated Wolfsburg 3-0 in this round and have started their fifth consecutive victory.

If Werder Bremen does not lose in this round and faces the Bundesliga hegemon with four consecutive wins, then the outside world may think that they still have a chance to compete with Bayern.

But they had already lost a game before the top matchup with Bayern, and their morale level was no longer the same as Bayern's.

Coupled with the huge gap between the two teams in terms of hard power, almost no one outside the 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 taken their strength to a higher level.

They have achieved a complete victory record on three fronts: the league, the Champions League group stage and the German Cup, and are currently undefeated.

Any team that plays against Bayern will be defeated by their luxurious midfield and frontcourt attack group.

With Werder Bremen's current state, I really can't figure out how they can defeat such an undefeated team!

However, not everyone supports Bayern. Dortmund fans hope that Werder Bremen can defeat Bayern Munich at home and end their opponent's winning streak.

In this round of competition, Dortmund challenges newly promoted Eintracht Frankfurt away from home.

Although the latter is a newly promoted team, it is a dark horse, and Dortmund is in poor form this season.

Therefore, they all attach great importance to this opponent and do not dare to underestimate the opponent at all.

However, a dark horse is a dark horse after all.

At home in Frankfurt, Dortmund played a crazy game with their opponents.

Reus, 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. This score was 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 2 points behind Bayern.

Dortmund only scored one point, and they only had 6 points after 5 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, in addition to not making mistakes in the next games, they must continue to win.

Other teams in the league also need to step up and help them block Bayern Munich and prevent the opponent from continuing to score.

Otherwise, even if they directly defeat Bayern in a strong dialogue, they will not be able to completely erase the point difference between the two teams.

In the league, there are not many teams capable of posing a threat to Bayern. Apart from them, there are probably only a few teams such as Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and Monchengladbach that have hope.

Monchengladbach is a strange team. They are not very strong, but they are particularly good at beating Bayern Munich.

Every time they meet Bayern, their players are very energetic and can perform at a super level, so there is a saying that the little pony eats and sleeps to beat Bayern.

As for Bremen, Dortmund feels that their individual players are very threatening and may be able to create miracles.

In order to stimulate Werder Bremen to go all out and fight against Bayern, Dortmund players publicly cheered for Werder Bremen on social media.

Lewandowski tweeted:

Werder Bremen's counterattack is particularly sharp. We have suffered two losses from them. When facing Bayern Munich, they will definitely continue to use this tactic. I don't think Bayern's defense can stop them. Fight back!

Goetze believes:

Werder Bremen's No. 6 (De Bruyne) is an excellent midfielder. His creativity and overall perspective will help Werder Bremen win.

Royce did not express his position publicly, but sent a private message to Lin Quan, asking: "How many goals do you plan to score against Bayern Munich?"

Lin Quan was a little surprised when he saw Royce's private message. He didn't expect Royce to contact him proactively, nor did he expect Royce to think so highly of him.

That's Bayern's, and it's not easy to score their goals.

But he was not the kind of person who would show off his timidity, so he wrote back:

"Of course, we can score as many goals as we can. Don't worry, Werder Bremen will definitely use all our strength to play against Bayern Munich!"

Seeing Lin Quan's reply, Royce couldn't help but curl up his lips. He liked this answer.

But the other party sent back another message:

"Of course, it's the same when playing Dot!"

The smile on Royce's face froze instantly.

…

Because of the loss and the encounter with a strong enemy, the atmosphere within the Werder Bremen team seemed solemn before the start of the sixth round of the league.

Coach Schaaf has been keeping a straight face these days, with no smile in sight.

The same was true for several assistant coaches, all of whom had sad faces and obviously did not have much confidence in the next game.

Bayern Munich's frontcourt attack group firepower this season is really terrifying. Robben, Franck Ribery, Mandzukic, Gomez, Thomas Muller and others all have strong scoring abilities.

Werder Bremen happens to be a very poor defensive team, which makes them almost unable to limit the opponent's offense.

If you can't limit the opponent's attack, do you have to fight with the opponent to attack?

After the introduction of Martinez, Bayern's midfielder has become more powerful. It can not only deliver more shells to the team's forward line, but also effectively intercept the opponent's offense in the midfield.

Facing such a comprehensively upgraded version of Bayern Munich, is there really a chance of winning against the opponent's offense?
