In the visiting team's locker room, you can hear singing and shouting outside when you close the door.

The Forest Stadium, which can accommodate 52,000 people, is full in this game.

Although Frankfurt has performed poorly this season, the home attendance rate has rebounded as the end is approaching. Because everyone has to cheer for the team's relegation.

When the team is in the most difficult time, they naturally have to support their team.

Just as the Frankfurt team sang: "No matter hell, we will go through with you"

They had already realized this when they warmed up before the game. When they appeared to warm up, the whole field was filled with boos, overwhelming and rushing towards them.

It almost suffocated them.

Schaff looked at his players and frowned slightly.

He knew the situation was not good, not because he was worried about the pressure brought by the Frankfurt fans, but because of the physical strength of the Werder Bremen players.

Although I have been practicing once a day during this period, I have added physical training content to daily training.

However, physical recovery is not a matter of one or two days, it is a very long process.

It always takes time.

"In this game, try to slow down the pace and deal with the opponent."

This is Schaff's solution to the problem of the game in front of him.

If Frankfurt is to be fast, then Werder Bremen should be slow, slow down the pace and try to control the football at your feet. At the same time, when the opponent is attacking, do not get in the frontcourt and retreat quickly and then shrink the defense, so that the physical fitness requirements should be lower.

After talking about the tactical requirements, Schaff also wanted to say a few words to the players who boosted morale.

But he is really not good at doing this kind of thing...

Just like he is not good at dealing with the media.

Looking at the players in front of them, they were looking at themselves, hoping to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

Speaking of which, he was even a little nervous...

This is not the first time he led the team to compete for a championship. In 1999, he led Werder Bremen to the German Cup. However, the cup championship and league championship give people a completely different feeling.

The league champion is obviously more valued and has more valuable content.

Moreover, the last German Cup champion was not his part of the credit. Before him, Magat led the team to the German Cup final. He replaced Magat as a firefighting coach in the last four rounds of the 196-1999 season.

Before that, Magath had led the team to the German Cup final, and he only needed to play one final. So he had no such experience in how to reach the final step by step.

This is also the first time in Schaff in his life.

How to deal with stress?

"There's nothing to worry about, gentlemen." After holding it in for a long time, Schaff said. "Even if we lose the game, we still lead Bayern Munich in the standings with three points, and we are still the first. And we have another chance to face them head-on. As long as we beat them away, we are still the champion, so let's relax. Frankfurt in this game is not strong, and as long as we perform normally, they can't beat us."

After saying that, he looked at the players' reactions... Well, it seems that the effect is not good.

But for me, I can only do this.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "Go on the field, guys."

When Werder Bremen players walked out of the player's passage and walked onto the stadium, the booing at Forest Stadium was almost suffocating.

Fortunately, the boo only lasted for a very short period of time.

If it continues, it may really cause heart disease.

However, this short boo has also shown the attitude of Frankfurt fans to Werder Bremen's players - this game is definitely more difficult than Werder Bremen's players imagine

When the game started, the game seemed to be really moving in this direction.

Just 11 minutes into the game, Werder Bremen was sent off - central defender Ismail flew to Frankfurt in the penalty area. Not only was he sent off with a red card, but the referee also gave Frankfurt a penalty.

"...It's a double blow," said commentator Marcel Lef. "They were just starting the game, and they were behind, and there was one less number of people. Originally, Werder Bremen's physical fitness has begun to have problems now. If you want to play the game in this situation, I think it would be good if you don't lose... If you lose or draw in this game, it will be great news for Bayern Munich."

When the head coach Schaff on the sidelines saw this scene, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a rope.

There's nothing worse than this

What he thought was not just the backward caused by this goal loss, but the tactical changes between the two sides after the backward...

He wanted to use his knees to fight, so he would definitely shrink his defense.

In this way, my pace will be slower, but it will become more difficult to score goals.

If Frankfurt's intensive defense cannot be broken, the game will be decisive

Although he was saying something on his lips that even if he lost, he would still lead three points... But if this is true, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the team's collapse...

But how can we win?

Schaff felt a headache.

※※※

South Korean striker Che Duri, who created the penalty kick, took the penalty himself, kicked the football into Werder Bremen's goal and scored his first goal of the season...

"Damn it, that Korean broke the goal drought." On Werder Bremen's coaching seat, substitute coach Kemp was very dissatisfied with the result. Amid the huge cheers of the home team fans, he started to curse.

Schaff frowned: "Now is not the time to consider this. Ismail has been sent off. We must make adjustments to the defense... Let Bowman retreat and replace Ismail for the time being. Let Skripnick warm up."

Kemp took the order and left.

Aslov next to him then said, "What if we lose this game?"

Schaff turned his head and glanced at the club's general manager.

"There is still a direct conversation between us and Bayern Munich. That's the last chance."

Aslov heard Shaf's words and stopped talking.

So...isn't this the worst result?

※※※

"Werder Bremen is behind, and they were sent off." In another game at the same time, Heathfield's assistant coach was also paying attention to Werder Bremen's game.

The two sides are only six points away now. If Werder Bremen makes any mistakes, Bayern Munich can take the opportunity to narrow the gap again and continue to put pressure on Werder Bremen.

"Who was sent off?" Heathfield asked.

"Ismail, their main center back."

Heathfield's mouth curled up when he heard this.

This is really good news.

Werder Bremen is behind in the score, and the main central defender is sent off again. It seems that God is standing on Bayern Munich's side this time.

Has our spirit of not giving up touched God?

"Very good." He nodded slightly.

In fact, when Ismail fouled against Cheduli, the Werder Bremen players did not surround him with excitement at the first time and protested to the referee.

They were a little confused and stared blankly at the referee pointing at the penalty spot, watching the Frankfurt players cheer and celebrate.

In a game where I can't lose, they all felt a little incredible - is this true? Is this true? It's really a penalty and a red card?

By the time they realized it, Cheduli had already bent down to place the football on the penalty spot.

See you

They clenched their fists unwillingly.

But what if you are unwilling to give up?

As long as the Korean scored the ball, they were behind.

This game was not easy to play, but now the score is behind. How to play the next game?

Can we still win the game?

Will we still win the league?

From the beginning of the season to the present, they have been confused about the future and doubted themselves for the first time.

There is only one person who is the exception.

※※※

When Cheduli kicked the football into the goal, he opened his arms and turned around and ran to celebrate. He wanted to celebrate it with all his heart, even if he was the only one.

This is his first official goal in Frankfurt this season

He has been waiting for this goal for too long

After transferring to Frankfurt this season, as the main striker, he started almost every game but failed to score. He has always been under pressure.

He is worried that if he can't score again, the pressure will completely crush him.

Now it's OK.
