It's also hot in May, but today's weather is very suitable for the competition.

The breeze is blowing, very comfortable.

Seeing the starting list of both sides, many media suddenly felt deceived because both teams had their strongest lineup.

There is no problem with the Donetsk Miners team to put on the strongest lineup, because there was no news of their players being injured or suspended before the game.

But Bremen, the smoke bombs released before the game were covered with clouds. Almeida, Mertesac, Naldo and other main players were injured and seemed very weak.

But when their starting list came out, many people realized that these people were all good?

Mertesacker and Naldo both started and showed up, and it was obvious when they warmed up before the game that they were all jumping around.

As for Almeida, he was on the bench. Although he was a Portugal international forward, Almeida was originally the substitute forward of Werder Bremen. Their two starting power forwards Rosenberg and Pizarroko were both on the starting list.

And it seems that Almeida's physical condition is completely fine when she comes on the bench.

Werder Bremen's starter is:

Goalkeeper Wizer and the defense line are Bernish, Naldo, Mertesacker and Bowman;

Midfielders Fritz, Flins, Ozil, Diego;

On the front line, Pizarro's unsurprising partner Rosenberg.

Among them, Diego, Pizarro and Ozil were identified by Lucescu as objects that need to be taken care of, and all three of them have very strong creativity.

The starting lineup of the Donetsk Miners seems to be unchanged, and they are still those people, the most familiar, and the most tacit understanding...

To remain unchanged, respond to changes.

Donetsk Miners' locker room.

Lucescu rarely seems more excited.

"This game is the most critical game of our season. No, it shouldn't be this season. It's the most critical game in these dozen seasons. We have never won such a trophy in history. We will definitely make history! Guys! Don't you want to win?"

"I want to!" Xu Qi and many of his friends shouted loudly.

Who doesn’t want to do this opportunity to create team history?

Moreover, the opponent is just Bremen, not a top team like Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Chelsea. What reason does it have to defeat such a team that ranks outside the top ten in the Bundesliga this season?

Bremen's performance last season was good, second only to Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga runner-up, but this season, they only finished tenth. Obviously, their condition has declined very seriously.

"Kill them and we will be the champion!" Xu Qi roared again. Xu Qi was no less eager for this champion than anyone else.

This may be his second championship trophy in his career and his first championship trophy in Europe!

The significance of this trophy to him is self-evident!

In the locker room on the other side, Schaff was also encouraging the morale of the players.

"We did not perform well in the league this season, but we are honored to reach the final of the UEFA Cup. We have always been under tremendous pressure. Do you want to release this pressure? Kill Donetsk and win this championship! We will become heroes! I believe that no one present does not desire a championship!" Schaff spoke passionately.

No one is eager for a championship. Even a top-level team with weak championships will seriously welcome the arrival of every trophy.

As time goes by, the two teams walked into the stadium with the opening song of the UEFA Cup.

A big battle is about to break out!

The referee whistle sounded and the miner kicked off.

Bremen's midfield is indeed very distinctive. The ball under the Miners' feet was broken without falling four or five feet.

Moreover, this ball was lost by Fernandinho, the team's offensive and defensive hub, which gave Bremen the opportunity to strike quickly at the beginning.

"So fast!" Xu Qi sighed secretly that the pace of the Bundesliga team is indeed quite fast.

However, he was not idle while sighing. After seeing the ball concealed, he returned to defense as soon as possible and looked for players nearby who needed to be guarded by himself.

To defend this, you have to look at the people and the football.

Some defensive players will naturally lose the ball if they watch the ball but not the person; if they watch the ball but not the person, they will have nothing to play.

Xu Qi looked at Flins who was dribbling the ball out of the corner of his eyes, but he himself was approaching Diego.

Flins was also looking for Diego at the first time.

Xu Qi also went up to press the enemy immediately.

However, Diego is Diego after all, and his strength is really undeniable. After using his body to resist Xu Qi, he directly transferred the ball to the right side.

The one who received the ball there was young player Ozil!

Xu Qi didn't grab the ball once, nor was he discouraged, so he still followed Diego.

If it was someone else, it would be easy to choose not to follow the opponent's player after the ball was released, but Xu Qi still followed him because Xu Qi knew that he was the core of Bremen's offensive, and the offense would sooner or later hit him.

Ozil swept the ball into the penalty area.

Pizarro took the ball with his back against the goal, and faced Ziglinsky's tall body, he had no way to turn around.

At this time, Diego started.

Pizarro obviously saw Diego who started and obviously put the ball back and asked Diego to handle the ball.

However, Xu Qi also moved.

With a sudden acceleration, Xu Qi relied on his physical confrontation and squeezed in front of Diego from behind, directly intercepting the ball from Pizarro!

"I want to score a goal so early? This is really too simple!" Xu Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and after intercepting the ball, he passed it directly to Fernandinho with his outer instep.

Offensive and defensive conversion!

At this time, it depends on the speed.

Fernandinho was not too sticky to the ball, and handed it straight through to Judson.

Xu Qi was in the rear and could not rush to the front in time, but the Donetsk miners relied on the two or three people in front to make a wonderful attack.

William made the ball, and Adriano made a strong shot from 15 yards in front of the goal!

A little bit off.》≠》≠,

Just now, the Donetsk Miners almost scored, and if Bremen had not been alert for that attack, he would have hoped to score.

As soon as the two sides started, they showed their unlimited desire for attack!

Xu Qi also knows very well about Bremen's attack power. This is a team that advocates offense very much. They are the team that scored the most goals in the Europa League knockout match, scoring fifteen goals in eight games.

This is a knockout match. It is rare to have a scoring efficiency of about two goals per game while the two teams interpret the defense to the extreme.

But they also conceded quite a few goals, conceding twelve goals.

Therefore, this game was highly anticipated by the media before the game, and they believed that this game would be a rare goal-scoring final.
Chapter completed!
