Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 136 De Bruyne: There is a feeling of being green...

After entering April, Werder Bremen's schedule has become denser.

After the semi-finals of the German Cup, they immediately ushered in the challenge of Wolfsburg.

This is the second time Werder Bremen have played against Wolfsburg at home in a week.

The two teams fought to the end in the German Cup, and each other's physical energy consumption was great.

If it is another opponent, with Werder Bremen's current state, it is very likely that the opponent will take advantage of it.

But for Wolfsburg, they didn't take advantage of anything.

Wolfsburg, who wanted to avenge Werder Bremen, swallowed two bombs at the Weser Stadium and returned in defeat.

After winning Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen's winning streak in the league and cup has come to 8 games.

But even with eight consecutive victories, the gap between them and the top spot still shows no sign of shrinking.

After the 30th round, Werder Bremen currently ranks No.75 in the standings with 2 points, 9 points behind Bayern Munich.

With four rounds left in the league, Werder Bremen only has a theoretical hope of winning the championship.

To win the championship, they not only need to win all the remaining four games.

Also hope that Bayern lose all four games.

As long as Bayern win a game, with their goal difference advantage, they will win the championship.

But expect Bayern to lose four games in a row?

It's harder than winning the lottery!
So no one in Werder Bremen feels that they have a chance to get their hands on the league trophy, and the salad plate trophy has been booked by Bayern.

In this round of the game, Bayern Munich bloodbathed the visiting Hamburg 9:1 at home, helping Hamburg break the record for the largest away loss in team history.

Coincidentally, the record that was refreshed was also created by Bayern.

In the 1963-1964 season, Bayern beat Hamburg 9:2 at home.

After the victory over Hamburg, Bayern's league points increased to 81 points.

No one doubts that the league championship is theirs, the only suspense is that they can win the championship a few rounds in advance!

This season, under the training of Heynckes, Bayern Munich has shown extremely terrifying dominance.

In the UEFA Champions League knockout round that ended not long ago, facing the Serie A overlord Juventus, they swept their opponents out with a score of 4:0.

In the league, starting from the 18th round of the league, they have won 13 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.

This winning streak is very close to the Bundesliga record of 2005 consecutive victories they created in the 2006-15 season.

Bayern's 13-game winning streak and the slaughter of opponents at home once again caused a shock in German football.

Because the strengths of the two teams are very different, Bayern's massacre has less impact on the outside world, not as good as Werder Bremen's massacre of Schalke 04.

After all, Bayern is a well-known tragedy maker in the Bundesliga, often causing tragedies in the league.

However, no one can pose a threat to Bayern, allowing them to easily win 13 consecutive victories, and even create tragedies.

This is what those people in German football are most worried about!
Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga has never been a good phenomenon.

A healthy league requires multiple teams to attack the championship, so that the suspense of the championship can be maintained every year until the end.

Losing the suspense prematurely will only reduce the enjoyment of the league, which will have a negative impact on ratings, attendance, and broadcast share.

A large part of the reason why the Premier League's commercial operations are so successful is that the Premier League games are exciting enough and suspenseful enough.

If the Premier League is like the Bundesliga, and a team like Bayern is locked in the championship early every year, then there is nothing to watch.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the audience in the Premier League will run away!

So they hope that someone can stand up and stop Bayern, and don't let the suspense of the championship disappear too early.

Among the teams currently at the top of the standings, the games between Werder Bremen and Bayern have all ended, and there is nothing they can do about it.

However, they have already eliminated Bayern in the German Cup, and they have completed the blocking of Bayern in the cup!

And Dortmund, who is third in the standings, still has a game against Bayern, which is in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga.

This strong match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund is likely to become the most important battle of Tianwangshan in the Bundesliga this season.

If they can win this game, Bayern will tie the longest winning streak in team history and the league.

Considering that Bayern's opponents in the last two rounds are very weak, as long as they can win Dortmund, it is very likely to break the record.

I believe that Dortmund will never allow Bayern to achieve such a record on themselves, so this game will definitely be very exciting!

……

"Can you stop Bayern?"

After seeing the German media reports, Lin Quan sent a message to Royce.

"Of course!"

Royce replied to him quickly. The speed of the other party made him wonder if this guy was chatting with some girl?
Otherwise, how to reply the message in seconds?

"Oh? So confident?"

Bayern and Dortmund are the two teams with the closest strength in the Bundesliga. If anyone can stop Bayern, it can only be Dortmund.

"Hehe, I can't say that I have confidence. The main reason is that Bayern's lottery was not good. They drew the Cosmic Team Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

"It's as if your lottery is much better than theirs. Didn't you also get the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid?"

Dortmund's schedule is exactly the same as that of Bayern Munich. They are all home first, then away, and go away after playing home.

And the two rounds of the Bundesliga are stuck in the middle of their home and away two Champions League games.

For these two teams, they need to play four games in 10 days.

Among them, there are two high-intensity Champions League knockout games, and one toss back and forth on the plane. This schedule is really devilish.

The four teams that reached the semi-finals happened to come from two leagues, and they also avoided the fate of fighting in the same room.

If they have drawn their own league opponents, then they don't have to go through such a hassle.

However, from the perspective of watching the game, the civil war in the Champions League semi-finals is obviously not as exciting as playing against teams in other leagues.

It is a pity that the giants of the Premier League and Serie A were eliminated early.

In the past few years, the performance of the Premier League teams in the Champions League is really not good. Manchester United has repeatedly failed in the quarter-finals, and Arsenal has been in the top [-] every year.

The local tycoon Manchester City didn't even qualify for the group stage, and last season's Champions League champion Chelsea also fell early in the group stage.

If they performed better and made it to the semi-finals to disrupt the situation, they would not be able to qualify for the situation where the Bundesliga and La Liga dominate.

"Haha, is the schedule the same? Would you like to take a closer look?"

When Royce heard Lin Quan's words, he made a laughing expression.

What do you mean?
Lin Quan asked a question, but the other party smiled and did not answer.

He had to do it himself to search the schedule of the Champions League semi-finals online.

After taking a look, Lin Quan immediately discovered the problem.

"I'm going, why is your game a day earlier than Bayern's?"

Finishing the game one day earlier means that Dortmund can have one more day off than Bayern before the battle of Tianwangshan.

This is definitely very unfair to Bayern!
No wonder Royce said he was confident, so he took such a big advantage!
"Hey, what a fool, such an important match as the Champions League semi-finals, of course can't be arranged on the same day!"

"If they are all arranged on the same day, or even at the same time, how do you let the audience choose?"

"The viewership ratings of this kind of game will be very high, and the broadcast fee can make a lot of money, so UEFA will specially stagger the two games, so that we can make more money!"

Considering that Lin Quan has never played in the Champions League, Royce patiently explained to him.

The UEFA Champions League is different from the league. In order to pursue fairness, the league will arrange certain key games to start at the same time as possible.

But in the Champions League, especially the knockout stage, it is necessary to avoid arranging the games together.

The league considers fairness, while the Champions League considers fairness, commercial interests must also be taken into account.

The UEFA Champions League bonus and the share of broadcast revenue are very important for all teams participating in the UEFA Champions League.

Therefore, for such an arrangement, the major clubs will not have any complaints.

Damn, I was despised!

Lin Quan was speechless for a while.

This guy Royce was pulled up after playing in the Champions League.

"You have taken such a big advantage, if you still lose to Bayern, then buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself!"

"Tofu? I like Chinese food. Would you like to treat me to dinner?"

Royce saw the noun given by Lin Quan, and after searching the Internet, he finally figured out what it meant.

"Whenever you come to Bremen as a guest, I will invite you!"

Royce sent a speechless expression:
"The games between our two teams are over. You won't be at Werder Bremen next season. Where can I find you for a treat?"

"How about you invite me to Dortmund to watch the game, and I treat you to dinner?"

Dortmund will play Real Madrid in the first leg at home in four days. Dortmund is not far from Werder Bremen.

If you take the intercity railway, you can get there in an hour.

Lin Quan has traveled this route twice with the team before, and he is already familiar with it.

It is an irresistible temptation for anyone to be able to appreciate the top competitions at the Champions League level up close.

"Okay, I'll leave you a ticket, remember to come and get it from me when the time comes!"

Tickets for Dortmund are hard to come by, especially for games like the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

If you don't find an acquaintance, you can only buy it from scalpers at a high price.

"Two, I'll bring a friend to watch together!"

Lin Quan tried to bargain, he wanted to bring De Bruyne to open his eyes, and observe Mourinho's coaching style by the way.

"Damn, there's only one, do you want to love it or not!"

Royce is not happy anymore, this is it!

It's not that he doesn't have two tickets, but if Lin Quan brings other people over, how can he invite him to dinner?
"One ticket is all you need. Check to see if your teammate still has a ticket. I'll buy a ticket myself, right?"

……

In the end, Royce still gave him two tickets without asking him to pay.

After getting the tickets, Lin Quan immediately told De Bruyne the good news.

"Going to see Real Madrid vs Dortmund?"

When De Bruyne heard that there was a game to watch, his eyes straightened.

"Yes, whether to go or not, the ticket is not a problem!"

"Go, of course, but what about the coach?"

The game time is in the afternoon, and they can go there after training.

But after the game is over, I'm afraid it will be night, and De Bruyne is worried that it will affect the next day's training.

"The coach is so reasonable, let's say hello to him and promise not to affect tomorrow's training!"

The two came to Schaff's office hand in hand, and told them that they wanted to go to Dortmund to watch the Champions League semi-final.

"Go, go early and return early, just pay attention to safety on the road!"

After hearing what the two said, Shaf did not embarrass them, not only agreed to their request, but even granted them a half-day leave.

If they really can't make it back tomorrow morning, they can come to the training ground for training in the afternoon.

What is a peerless coach!

……

After taking the Intercity Express to Dortmund, Lin Quan contacted Royce by phone and got the ticket from him.

"Ahem, this is my friend Marco Royce!"

Seeing De Bruyne's surprised expression, Lin Quan introduced him solemnly.

The two actually played against each other in the league. De Bruyne was surprised because he didn't know that Lin Quan had become friends with Royce without anyone knowing it.

This made him feel a little strange, as if he felt green...

"Hi, I've seen you play football, you pass the ball really well!"

Royce smiled and stretched out his hand, and De Bruyne quickly handed it up:

"You are amazing too!"

De Bruyne is obviously not as talkative as Royce, and even the polite words are so blunt.

Royce is a group favorite in Dortmund's dressing room, while De Bruyne is a stuffy can in Werder Bremen's dressing room. If you don't take the initiative to find him, he won't say a word.

"Then enter the field by yourself. I'll go back to warm up first. You are not allowed to cheer for Real Madrid in this game, and you are not allowed to ask Ronaldo for an autograph!"

Royce's words were directed at Lin Quan. He was a little skeptical. Did the kid come to Westphalia to watch the football because of Ronaldo?
After all, in the hearts of many young players, Ronaldo and Messi are their idols.

Ronaldo, who has a better external image, is obviously more popular.

"I know, I know, let's go, I wish you all the best and a big victory over Real Madrid!"

"Thank you for your good words, if we really win, then I'll treat you to dinner instead!"

Royce became happier when he heard Lin Quan's blessing.

"That's what you said, I didn't force you!"

Lin Quan's eyes lit up, but he remembered that Dortmund beat Real Madrid 4:1 at home.

Royce smiled and said nothing. After waving to the two of them, he hurried back.

The two then followed the fans into the Westfalenstadion.

The huge stadium was full of seats at this time, and on the south stand where Dortmund's diehard fans gathered, a huge picture was spread out early.

Half an hour later, the first match between Dortmund and Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final officially started.
