Chapter 258 Devil's Schedule ([-])

Entering March, due to the resurgence of the Champions League, Monchengladbach began to enter a devil's schedule with double matches a week, including a German Cup match.

In the league, Borussia Mönchengladbach have to compete against Werder Bremen, Dortmund, Schalke 04 and Frankfurt. Except for Frankfurt, the other three teams are strong teams. After the winter break, the strength of these three teams has been greatly improved.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, two consecutive away games against Juventus and Barcelona, ​​and then a home game against Paris Saint-Germain. Although this schedule is still beneficial to Borussia Mönchengladbach, once the first two games are not played well, it is likely to bring the team a collapse.

The German Cup will meet Dortmund in the third round.

There is no doubt that the battle is often tough.

As soon as March is over, the situation will become clear immediately. Therefore, Borussia Mönchengladbach has gathered enough energy to play every game of this devil's schedule as a final.

On March 3, Borussia Mönchengladbach challenged Werder Bremen away, opening the first leg of the devil's schedule.

Schaff said before the game: "Although Borussia Mönchengladbach are very strong, they have not lost a single game so far, but I hope Bremen can break this situation."

Elton also said: "Rolo's performance is very good, I can't wait to play against him."

Nick said: "Bremen want to win? I guess this must be an April Fool's joke. Borussia Mönchengladbach will not give Bremen a chance."

Ronaldinho: "Epang is one of the most outstanding strikers among Brazilian players. He is my predecessor. I learn from him. Of course, I also learn from his goals."

A battle of words was played with great joy, which made fans and the media expect the game to be so exciting.

At 3:3 German time on March 19, the famous Weser Stadium.

Players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel and stepped into the stadium, and the sound of cheering for the teams they supported immediately sounded in the audience.

In fact, although the two teams are at war during the game, the relationship between the two clubs is still good in private. Last season, Bremen also helped Borussia Mönchengladbach stop Bayern.

So during the winter break, Bremen bought two players from Borussia Mönchengladbach's second team: forward young player Kisling and central defender young player Mertesacker.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows the potential of these two teenagers. Bremen also took out 500 million euros to make up for Pizarro and Ismail who will leave Bremen at the end of the season. The former is going to Bayern and the latter is going to Chelsea.

And because Pizarro was injured, so in Bremen's starting lineup, the teenager Kisling started, and he partnered with Elton and Klashnic as the three strikers.

The newly introduced Marchena played right back, captain Bowman and Ismail partnered at center back, and Ernst was left back.

The midfielders are Karagounis, Frings and Magnin, who plays the left midfielder premise.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's lineup has largely remained the same, only Romedal replaced the somewhat tired Madavikia.

When the two sides shook hands, Kisling took Nick's hand and said excitedly: "Captain, I will definitely score a goal. Hehe, be careful."

"Stinky boy, I'm not your captain anymore, play well and strive to enter the national team in the future." Nick patted Kisling on the head and said with some regret.

Kisling's shooting ability is quite good and he is a prolific shooter. Borussia Mönchengladbach lost a lot this time in exchange for money.

After the start of the game, Werder Bremen took control of the ball, Kisling was at the top, and the little guy was very active.

Elton and Klashnic, who followed him, also moved very well, pulling away the entire defensive line of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

However, Karagunis couldn't get around Nick's defense. The Greek star reluctantly handed over the ball to Frings who came in behind. Frings tried his footwork 30 meters away from the goal and hit the anti-aircraft gun with a long shot.

It seems that Schaff's arrangement for this game is to shoot more long shots. Using the restraint of the three forwards, Karagunis and Frings who came in from the back came up to shoot long shots.

Then Borussia Mönchengladbach immediately fought back. Nick took the goal kick from Ilgner and took it to the center circle for a straight pass.

This also shows that Karl's tactical arrangement also includes strengthening long-range shots. The strength of Bremen's defense has greatly increased due to the arrival of Marchena. Karl still hopes that long-range shots can make some achievements.

After both sides tried to attack with long-range shots, the home team Bremen began to take possession of the ball.

Karagunis and the retreating Elton began to form a tacit cooperation pass on the right, which put a lot of pressure on Dex and Hausweiler.

In the 11th minute, Elton received a pass from Karagunis and raised his heel without stopping. Then he turned around and passed Dex.

Nick took advantage of the dead ball and quickly pulled Dex over and said, "Don't worry about this ball, watch his feet."

"Well, this fat man is too fast. I didn't expect him to be able to use his heels to make a ball." Dex really couldn't do anything about it. Elton's skills are so good that a fat man can dance ballet, which is hard for anyone to think of.

"Be careful, don't get a yellow card for Chapter 2." Nick had to remind.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

Werder Bremen's free kick went directly to Borussia Mönchengladbach's penalty area to find Kisling's high point. The little guy may be over-excited. Although he grabbed the spot, the ball was higher than the crossbar when it hit the goal.

The effect of Bremen's offense still makes Bremen fans very happy. They have directly threatened Borussia Mönchengladbach's goal twice. It seems that it is very hopeful to overthrow the leader today.

Nick thought to himself that if he didn't launch an attack, he might not be able to suppress Bremen's momentum.

"Bodo, give me the ball!" Nick yelled at Ilgner.

After receiving the ball, Nick took the ball and rushed towards Bremen's backcourt.

Frings didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't dare to make a move easily. Nick's breakthrough technology has long been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

So Frings has been closely following Nick, and used his body to block the position, blocking Nick's straight line breakthrough, allowing Nick to rush to the side.

Nick yelled, "Rolo catch the ball!"

Ronaldinho was ready to go into the penalty area at this time, but he turned around when he heard Nick's shout, and Nick's ball was passed.

"Send it back!" Nick yelled again.

Ronaldinho hesitated for a moment. With his offensive habits, he must turn around and break through immediately, but Nick, as the captain, asked him to pass the ball, so he couldn't ignore it.

To pass or not to pass?
