Chapter 315: Unexpected Goal (First Guaranteed.)
From the warm-up to the start of the game, reporters in the media gallery were discussing Schaaf's starting line-up.
The likes of Borowski, Scholz and Rolfes made sense of starts. What's going on with this Elton starter?
"I've heard that Elton and Rong have a conflict...... What should Schaaf do, so that he is not afraid of two people fighting in the game? β
"It's an exaggeration to fight, but it's very possible that two people don't pass the ball to each other. I heard that when Rong played in Brazil, his relationship with Kaka was so tense that he didn't pass the ball to each other for a season......"
It seems that as Rongguang's fame grows, these reporters also have a deeper understanding of Rongguang, and they have really put a lot of effort into understanding the untold stories behind Rongguang. Even the affairs of Glory and Kaka in SΓ£o Paulo were dug up.
"If you don't pass the ball to each other, it will cause serious damage to Werder Bremen's attack, right?"
"Who's to say it isn't? Rong is a very stubborn player, and Elton is also a problem player...... These two people get together, and it's really hilarious! β
"No matter how you look at it, this arrangement of Scharf is a failure...... It just depends on how the game is played......"
"When Heathfield heard the news, he must have smiled crookedly!"
β»β»β»
Heathfield really knew the news, but he didn't smile crookedly.
He has been following the situation at Werder Bremen.
Werder Bremen rotated, and he was not very surprised.
But Elton's starter he really didn't expect.
Elton's bad relationship with Schaaf, as well as his feud with Glory, have been reported by these news outlets, and they are not news.
So it's not surprising that Schaaf has been blocking Elton before.
Now that he's starting Elton and partnering with Glory, that's something that many people can't think of.
Bayern Munich's game takes place a day later than Werder Bremen's, so at this time, Heathfield can sit in front of the TV and watch Werder Bremen play.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
He also got his hands on Werder Bremen's starting line-up for the first time, and when he looked at Elton's name, his eyes lingered on that name for a long time.
He frowned, and couldn't figure out what Elton was going to be in the starting lineup.
It stands to reason that Elton is an unstable factor for Werder Bremen, and the manager should do everything possible to eliminate such unrest.
But now Scharf has let Elton, who has a bad relationship with himself and with Glory, play.
Heathfield thought of a possibility.
Werder Bremen's players are running out of energy, and in order to keep fit, Schaaf had to bring on Everton, who rarely play.
Because from a physical point of view, Elton, who didn't play much, was indeed "physically fit".
But will this really help Werder Bremen?
That's hard to say.
Heathfield snorted.
If Schaaf is going to do something, that's fine.
Maybe you really don't have to wait for the 32nd round of the league to decide the winner.
β»β»β»
In this game, in terms of lineup, Werder Bremen played 433, because Schaaf played three forwards in one go, Krasnic, Glory and Elton.
Krasnic is in the middle as a central striker, Elton is on the right and Glory is on the left.
Glory is not a left-footed player, leaving him on the left wing, mainly for him to constantly cut inside in the game, using his long-range shooting and scoring ability. Schaaf doesn't expect glory to cross for the benefit of his team-mates.
Miku, the original playmaker, did not play, and he was given a break.
In this way, Werder Bremen's attacking routine will be simpler. It was to let Borowski attack at the back, split the ball into two wings, and then hand it to Glory and Elton, two wingers with speed and chances, to create a killing chance.
As for whether they will cross from the wing or come on their own, then Schaff does not rule - in attack, he gives his players absolute freedom.
In fact, after seeing Glory's abilities, Saff did just that.
He found that Rongguang's ability to understand tactics was not as good as his personal breakthrough ability, so instead of assigning him a lot of complex tactical tasks, it was better to say something to him: "Go up and perform to your heart's content, score goals if you can, and pass the ball if you can't." β
So Glory has more goals and fewer assists. Just because of this sentence of Scharf.
Therefore, some media and commentators think that Rongguang is too lonely and selfish to play football, and in fact, some people wronged Rongguang, which is not Rongguang himself born like this, but Schaff's arrangement. Glory is nothing more than faithfully executing the manager's tactical arrangements.

When the game started, Hannover didn't press aggressively. They are away from home, and they are weak, and they also know very well what players Werder Bremen have, and there is no need to press hard and leave the space behind them for the opponent to counterattack.
They chose to shrink and hold on.
Anyway, they are still four points clear of the relegation zone, and the most important thing is not to take all three points, but not to lose, and to get a point is also a victory.
Guided by this tactical thinking, Hannover fielded six defenders in this game - in addition to the four defenders, two defenders played in the midfield as a cameo to defend at the back. The aim was to contain Werder Bremen's offensive.
This is a tactic that Hanover has long been prepared for.
When the game started, no matter how much Werder Bremen attacked, Hannover could not shrink into their own thirty or forty meters area.
The announcer of Radio Bremen couldn't help but complain when he saw such a game: "Hannover is not even football!" β
However, TV commentator Marcel Leif praised Ewald Linin's tactics for being very targeted: "In this game, Schaff removed the playmaker Miku, who was originally intended to rest Miku, but now it seems that Miku may not rest well...... Without the playmakers, Werder Bremen were a little overwhelmed by Hannover's stubborn defense, and they didn't know how to break down Hannover's goal...... And Lining's tactics just restrained the current Werder Bremen. There is nothing Werder Bremen can do without the organizers to ...... Hannover."

In the fifteenth minute, Rongguang tried a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. However, when he got up, he had been forced by the players who went to Hannover to about 40 meters from the goal, and the accuracy of shooting at this distance was almost zero.
Glory's last shot was only a little higher, and it was already a high-quality long-range shot.
On the other side, Elton is also in trouble.
He's a fast player and he needs space just as much as glory. And Hanover's stubborn defense just didn't have that kind of space. When speed hits a wall, the result is ...... Bang it against the wall!
Twenty minutes into the game, Werder Bremen's attack was largely unable to threaten the Hannover goal.
The couch also stood up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines.
Seeing Schaaf get up, the commentator Marcel Leif said, "It looks like Schaaf is going to make adjustments." It's time to make adjustments. It's clear that Werder Bremen can't do anything with Hannover, and maybe it's time for Miku to get back on the pitch...... That's the kind of adjustment that has to be made at halftime at the latest......"
However, in the TV broadcast footage, Miku was not seen getting up from the bench to warm up.
When Schaaf walked to the sidelines, he didn't make any adjustments or instructions, he just stood there.

Elton received the ball, and in front of him were two Hannover players.
Such a situation is not uncommon in this game, whether it is Elton or Glory, as long as you get the ball on the wing, it is the same situation.
Therefore, Werder Bremen's attack on the wing was not smooth, and even if they barely crossed from the side, they would fail because there was only one contact point in the middle.
This time, Elton didn't break through or cross directly from the wing.
He took the ball to the middle.
Seeing him go to the middle, Hannover's defensive focus shifted from the wing to the middle.
Especially when Krasnich also pulled back to pick up Elton.
While Elton hasn't played much this season, Krasnic has also scored a lot of goals, and he is the second-highest scorer in Werder Bremen's squad right now, just two goals less than Glory.
His threat is second only to Glory, but much more important than Elton.
So seeing Krasnic moving closer to Elton, Werder Bremen's defenders also pressed over.
However, Elton did not pass the football to KrasniΔ, but twisted his ankle and passed the football diagonally!
The ball rolls diagonally into the gap behind the Hannover backline!
Because Hannover is a shrinking defense, there is not much space behind the defensive line. So I want to take advantage of this kind of space...... You have to have enough speed to do it.
If you run slowly, the ball will roll straight out of the baseline......
So the ball is passed to ......
"Rong ββ!" Marcel Leif shouted.
With his voice, Glory struck in like lightning!
However, because of the small space, when this ball was received by Rongguang, it was almost to the bottom line, and he almost lost the angle of shooting!
Glory didn't hesitate at all, and went straight to the foot after catching up with football!
But not a shot, but ...... Cross!
He passed the football back!
The person who appeared in front of the goal at this time was not the center Krasnic, but ...... Elton!!
It's that Brazilian shooter!
There was also no hesitation, Elton shot angrily at the football that came from the glory!
The ball flew into the goal like a cannonball.
Hannover's goalkeeper Tremel didn't react to the goal β he hadn't even shifted to it, he was still standing in front of the goal, turning around and watching the ball fly into his goal.
"Rong! He passed the football back! Elton! Elton shoots - the ball goes in!! β
Marcel Leff shouted in a long voice.
"Werder Bremen take the lead at home!"
