Chapter 271

In the next three games, Union Berlin undoubtedly ended with a complete victory, drawing a successful end to the season.

Two days after the final game, Union Berlin ushered in the German Cup final.Schaff's team Berlin Union is quite familiar, they left a deep impression on Berlin Union in the league last season
To put it bluntly, although the result of that game was a draw, it was Union Berlin who drew with Werder Bremen.

Therefore, the players attach great importance to the opponents in this final.

Seeing the performance of the players, Bosque also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the players would be careless because they won two championships in a row, but he did not expect that the players performed much better than he imagined.

After he understood a little bit, he immediately understood the reason.

Originally, when he was preparing for the Werder Bremen game, he thought Schaff's team was very good, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship between the two sides.

It also deepened his vigilance against Bremen.

But there are some things that seeing is believing. Many teams have watched the Union Berlin game, but they will still be shocked when they go off the field to play Union Berlin.

Bosque is almost in the same state. When he met Schaff's team in the German Cup, his brows tightened soon.

Schaff's team is the best player he has ever seen in the Bundesliga with tactical discipline, and the important point is that the opponent's state of entering the game is also quite fast.

Union Berlin's habitual opening attack did not play a role in Werder Bremen, and was almost counterattacked by the opponent. This situation cannot be ignored by Bosque.

Today Bremen captain Baumann and Frings formed a defensive midfielder combination. These two German midfielders can also attack and defend well. The most important thing is that they have strong running ability and a very large defensive area.

Not only that, these two players are also considered to be one of the few German players born in the 70s with outstanding skills. They pass the ball well and clearly, which is not known how much better than other German midfielders.

Compared with Bremen, which only had Bowman himself before, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Just as Union would now have a playmaker alongside Xavi Alonso, so too at Werder Bremen, with newly transferred Werder Frings assuming Van Bommel's role at Union. .

The tactics of the two sides are somewhat similar, and today, at the request of the players, Union Berlin completely let go of its hands and feet to play against Werder Bremen.

As the strongest team in the Bundesliga in recent years, Union Berlin players are naturally proud of them. The game last season was a pain in their hearts. They are going to win back in this German Cup final!
The airtightness of the two sides also knows the strength of the opponent. Seeing the two teams play against each other, it is inevitable to feel worried for the team they support. Now the only happy people in this situation are the neutral fans. Enjoy a battle of Mars hitting the earth.

The progress of the game did not disappoint those fans who wanted to appreciate the offensive battle. The two sides scored 4 goals together in the first half of the game, and all of them were wonderful.

But in the second half of the game, the style of painting suddenly changed, almost flashing to the waist of the fans.

The two teams coincidentally started to recycle!

There is no way to avoid this situation, after all, it is related to a champion.

If Union Berlin wins this game, they will be able to successfully board the plane for the Triple Crown, and Bremen should only be chasing this one championship this season.

For both teams, this game is not to be missed.

After the first half of the game, both sides were more afraid of their opponents. In the second half, they were afraid that the opponent would find a chance to score goals. Fortunately, they put on a defensive posture.

In this situation, the neutral fans are very depressed, but most of the fans who came to the scene today are fans of Werder Bremen and Union Berlin.

Fans of both sides don't want to see any exciting games, because their teams usually play exciting enough in the league.

The outcome of this game can be related to the ownership of the German Cup champion. Fans of the two teams do not want the team to lose the game in the last 45 minutes.

So their cheering soon overwhelmed the boos of the relay fans. As for the fans watching the game in front of the TV, are they depressed? What does Union Berlin have to do with Werder Bremen?

It is true that offense wins fans and defense wins championships.The unanimous choice of Bosk and Schaff also fully demonstrates their recognition of their opponents. The most important thing is that the tactics of the two are also similar.

Before the game, Posk didn't expect that Bremen would be so difficult.

This is the first time that Union Berlin has scored two goals in the first half since he coached for a season.

In the opening 10 minutes of the second half, the two teams played very cautiously, rarely attacking the opponent's penalty area, and more fighting in the midfield.

There is no way around this. The importance of the midfield is undoubted when football has developed to the present state. There is a saying that those who win the midfield win the world. The contest between the two teams in the midfield is to compete for control of the game. As long as a team can win the midfield advantage, they can easily take the lead.

Edward, who was a spectator in the stands, quickly discovered an important problem, that is, Schaaf's team is more physically fit than last season.

Edward can assure that this is not his delusion, because the league game last season left a deep impression on him. He watched it no less than 10 times. By the time of the second half of the game, some Bremen players were already physically fit. It's not good, but today they are still alive and well. It can be imagined that during the summer transfer period, Schaff must have made a lot of physical reserves for Bremen.

What a formidable opponent.

Edward and Bosque, the two important figures of the Berlin Union, felt the same emotion.

In fact, Schaff was also very surprised by the growth of Union Berlin.

When the two teams met last season, Union Berlin still made some immature moves, but when they met this season, their age seemed to be only one year older, but their wisdom and experience on the court are still there. The rapid improvement seems to have spent at least 5 seasons.

This point is the change brought by Bosque. As an experienced coach, Bosque made up for the last shortcoming of Union Berlin. Because he was also a successful player in his player period, he understood the thoughts of Union Berlin players very well. In one point, he is better than Mourinho and Boas combined.

The pair of brothers who studied under Sir Robson didn't have a successful career, so it was difficult to understand the players' minds, and it was difficult for them to let the players grow psychologically after Union Berlin's continuous success.

This is just like what is written in Xianxia novels. A cultivator's cultivation base grows quickly, but his mental state cultivation base cannot keep up, so it is easy to have inner demons, and there is no way to continue to break through to the next level. Stage, and Bosque is like an experience, using his experience to make up for the last shortcoming of Union Berlin, so that the players have made great progress.

The more surprised the coaches of both sides are, the less they dare to let the teams act rashly. The scene of the game looks very different from the first half.

Some fans who just turned on the TV couldn't even believe that this was a match between the two most offensive teams in the Bundesliga.

This looks more like Bolton playing Chelsea in the Premier League.

The game went on until the 75th minute when the offense of both sides gradually improved.

After Frings fouled in midfield, the coaches of both sides unanimously chose to substitute, which was a signal for them to attack.

Neither team wanted to drag the game into overtime.

Schaff feels that Bremen must still be at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness. Even if he has done a lot of targeted training, there is no way to compare with Union Berlin. The longer the game drags on, the worse it will be for them.

And Bosk is because he will play the Champions League final in only one week. If the main players are consumed too much now, it may affect their performance in the final.

After Villa played, Union Berlin changed to a rare double striker formation.

Originally, Klose started the game. After the Villa scene, the competition of Union Berlin has indeed improved a lot. These two forwards with completely different styles have formed a perfect complement.

But after Micoud was replaced, the frontcourt attack that came out dropped a lot.This is the gap in the strength of the substitute players between the two sides.Any player drawn from the Union Berlin bench can seamlessly connect with the team without reducing the team's strength too much, but no other team in the entire Bundesliga can do this, including Schaaf of course. ball.

The old coach Bosque naturally discovered this, and the uneasiness in his heart finally disappeared.

Although some feel pity for Thomas Schaff, after all, it is better for him to win the championship than for others to win the championship.The big deal is to comfort this promising young head coach after the game is over.

However, when the game progressed to the 90th minute, both sides failed to continue to score, and Bosque once doubted his own judgment.

The regular time of the game is over, and there are only 3 minutes of stoppage time.

After Ronaldinho drew Frings in the frontcourt, Posk made two more villains and knocked out the last two cards in his hand.

Messi and Van Persie came off the bench.

And this time the substitution became the key to the whole game. Although there was only 3 minutes of stoppage time, Union Berlin scored a goal in the first minute after two appearances.

This goal has some unexpected elements in it.

Werder Bremen didn't press forward at all, even if Messi broke through in front of the penalty area, it didn't cause too much pressure. After all, he persisted for so long, and Bremen couldn't suddenly collapse in the last 3 minutes, even if his physical fitness was poor Can also rely on willpower to survive.

Messi frequently looked for opportunities in the frontcourt and wanted to enter the penalty area, but he chose to pass it to Villa. Villa quickly passed the ball in an inverted triangle. Harvey Alonso's long shot hit the Werder Bremen defender. Pop out of the restricted area.

Ramos, who had already run to one game, quickly sent a long pass, but it was too big and turned into a direct attack.

Bremen goalkeeper Wiese hit the ball to Van Persie's feet in a panic. The Dutch striker reacted quickly, tapped his toes lightly, and sent the ball into the opponent's goal.

With 1 minute left, although Bremen attacked wildly and wanted to try their luck, they still failed.

With captain Bowman's long shot, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Werder Bremen lost 2:3 to Union Berlin.

Union Berlin once again crowned German Cup champions.

Although the loss was disappointing, Schaff still shook hands with coach Bosque in a very gracious manner.

At the press conference after the awards ceremony, Schaff admitted that his skills were inferior to others.

But also expressed envy for the Union Berlin lineup.

In the summer, he was Edward's first choice. If he hadn't insisted on staying in Bremen with his home team as a player, he might be standing on the podium now.

But the road is chosen by oneself, and there is no one to blame.

After the game, Union Berlin once again became the triple crown, and Edward did not break his promise and held a grand celebration ceremony.

Hoffman Football City considered this kind of thing when it was being built. There is a huge square not far from the stadium, and the open space here is reserved for such occasional use.

Not only that, but the team's sponsors also have various means.

On the day of the celebration, the parade floats were covered with sponsors' logos, and Budweiser even provided free beer to all fans participating in the celebration.

The club also invited many stars, and the fans celebrated until 2 o'clock in the morning.

Naturally, it is impossible for the players to play so late. The biggest test of this season will be a week later. They were very depressed when they were eliminated from the Champions League last season. I'd rather die.

The Champions League is their biggest goal this season. If they fail to win the championship, this season will be a failed season.
