Chapter 300: Bayern Munich's Recovery (10200

After the league officially started in the second half of the season, it didn't take a few rounds for everyone to find that Bayern Munich had changed.

There are more young people playing.

Schweinsteiger even occupies a main position.

Others, such as Misimovic and Trokhovski, also got more playing time than in the first half of the season.

Sauer has already become a regular in the first half of the season and has been reduced to a substitute.

Salihamidzic is no longer an absolute workhorse.

At the same time, Bayern Munich's results are becoming more stable and better.

Bayern Munich have won four of their four league games throughout February.

Werder Bremen, on the other hand, won three and drew one.

Although the league standings of the two teams have not changed, Werder Bremen is in first place and Bayern Munich is second.

But the gap between the two teams has been narrowed.

At most, at the end of the winter break, Werder Bremen was as many as 12 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings. And now the two teams are ten points apart, and they are two points closer.

Glory is still in excellent form, with his league tally now reaching eleven. And his threat isn't just about goals. Time and time again, he used his incisive individual breakthroughs to create chances for his team.

Although Bayern Munich's performance has been excellent and improved, the voices criticizing and mocking Bayern Munich and Heathfield in the media have not decreased.

Especially Heathfield's adjustment turned out to be a reuse of young people!

It's ironic.

“…… He has increased the playing time of young players in recent games. This is really ironic - you have to know that why did Rong leave Bayern Munich and go to Werder Bremen? Then there is Lahm, the youngster who couldn't play at Bayern Munich, went to Stuttgart, and then under Magath, he became an excellent full-back...... Heathfield's stubbornness led to a poor first half of the season for Bayern Munich, and in the second half of the season, he finally woke up, so Bayern Munich began to catch up with Werder Bremen in the league standings, and now we are still ten points behind, compared to the previous 12 points, which is an improvement...... But I would say that if Heathfield had done this earlier, Bayern Munich would have been completely behind all their rivals in the league standings, and maybe we would have won the title in April! ”

In the 23rd round of the league, Werder Bremen defeated Munich 1860 2-0 away, and Glory did not score, but had an assist. He assisted Krasnich for a goal.

However, Bayern Munich also won, also on the road, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-1.

In the 24th round, Bayern Munich defeated Rostock 3-0 at home.

Werder Bremen beat Cologne 3-2 at home.

The two teams are still 10 points apart.

Werder Bremen's two-game winning streak did not leave Bayern Munich behind.

Bayern have been quite resilient in the second half of the season, winning six in a row.

After this league game, it will be the semi-finals of the German Cup.

Bayern Munich host Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen host Lubeck.

Considering that the team has always played in the league with a set of lineups, Schaff is worried that as the league progresses, the team's physical fitness will be problematic, especially now that Bayern Munich has shown a trend of re-emergence, Schaff does not dare to take it lightly, so he did not arrange for the whole team to participate in this German Cup, and absolute main players like Rongguang did not even enter the squad.

Schaff has already decided, if the German Cup is eliminated, it will be eliminated, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is the league championship.

Werder Bremen, who are all substitutes and second-tier teams, have struggled to play on their home turf.

They were 1-0 down in the first half.

However, they were lucky, and towards the end of the second half, Elton, who started in place of Glory, equalised for Werder Bremen.

When he scored, the long-lost cheering for Elton rang out at Weser Stadium – the same sound that has been the main theme of Weser Stadium for the past few seasons.

But this season, a new generation has replaced the old, and while everyone is cheering for glory, Elton has gradually been forgotten, consciously or unconsciously.

It was revealed in advance that Elton had transferred to Schalke 04, which made these fans very dissatisfied with Elton.

Time can dilute everything, though.

Werder Bremen fans now have a fading hatred for Elton.

Now, Elton's goal saved the life of Werder Bremen in the Cup, and the Werder Bremen fans cheered for Elton again.

Although in Schaaf's mind, it doesn't matter if he loses the cup for the sake of the league title.

But Werder Bremen fans are a bit more flexible, hoping that the team can win both the league title and the cup. How nice it would be to be able to win a double crown!

※※※

Werder Bremen fans in the stands cheered for Elton and team-mates on the sidelines celebrated the goal.

Even Glory was cheering for Elton in the stands - he didn't want Werder Bremen to be eliminated from the competition, he was just as greedy and wanted to win the championship and the cup.

Because, that's all money!

There is a prize for the champion!

In fact, he also took the initiative to ask head coach Schaaf to play before the game, and he told Schaaf that his fitness was not a problem.

However, Schaaf told him that not letting him play was not only due to physical considerations, but also to fears that he would be injured.

The current glory is the treasure of Werder Bremen, and it is easy not to be injured.

Guarantee a healthy body that can contribute more to the team.

Rongguang likes Shaf's statement very much - he doesn't let himself play because he values himself.

So he doesn't care about the appearance fee for a game.

Instead, he happily sat in the stands and watched the game with Debora and Sun Fengyang.

Elton's late goal sent the game to extra time.

The game was almost over, but they came back from the dead, which boosted the morale of the players of Werder Bremen.

In extra-time, they were excellent, scoring two goals, while Lubeck scored just one.

In the end, with an aggregate score of 3:2, Werder Bremen eliminated the second division team Lubeck and advanced to the final in a thrilling manner!

At the end of the game, there was a huge cheer at the Weser Arena in celebration of the team's qualification to the German Cup final.

The TV broadcast captured the footage of Scharf taking the initiative to hug Elton after the game, and the two men used this action to resolve their previous feud.

"I think Bayern Munich's six consecutive wins in the second half of the season have put a lot of pressure on Schaff as well. At a time when the league is becoming more competitive, Werder Bremen also need to keep the team united and quiet, and they also need more rotation players to help the main line-up, and Elton is such a good candidate. Schaff took the initiative to show goodwill, but also to be able to appease Elton and prepare for the next league showdown with Bayern Munich. ”

Commentator Beckman analyzes the significance of Scharf's move.

A day later, Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0 at home.

Also advance to the finals!

It's dramatic that the two teams competing for the title in the league will meet in the final of the German Cup.

In other words, if Werder Bremen are to win the double this season, they will have to beat Bayern Munich in both the cup and the league.

For Bayern Munich, such an arrangement also gives them the opportunity to personally prevent Werder Bremen from reaching the top.

In the league, the difference between the two sides is ten points, which is still a safe distance, but if Bayern Munich continues to win like this, I believe it will still bring some pressure to Werder Bremen.

“…… This season's Bundesliga has suddenly looked good and looks good......," said host Beckmann on the Deutsche TV's flagship program "Sports News".

He spoke to the hearts of many people.

In the first half of the season, Werder Bremen went on a high streak and perhaps only Werder Bremen fans would be happy.

For fans of other teams, it was boring to watch the suspense of the league title end early.

And such a thing is not a good thing for the entire Bundesliga league.

The Premier League is the number one league in Europe because they are highly competitive. The Bundesliga has long been dominated by Bayern Munich, and this season Werder Bremen finally emerged, but Bayern Munich languished again, and Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen have also fallen into trouble.

In the entire league, there is not a single team that can pose a threat to Werder Bremen.

If this continues, the Bundesliga will always be an uncompetitive league.

Fortunately, Bayern Munich recovered in the second half of the season, and although Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen still did not perform as well as they should, at least one team could pose a threat to Werder Bremen.

The league is back competitive.

And the drama is restored.

Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich are two teams competing on both league and cup competitions, and each has a chance to win the double.

The league is in the bottom third of the game, and that's what it looks like.

At a press conference after the semi-finals, Heathfield expressed his ambitions in front of reporters.

"I'm very happy that Bayern Munich has the chance to fight for the title again. We made too many mistakes in the first half of the season. But now it's all out of the way and the team and I are back on track. What happens next? Let's wait and see! ”

Heathfield is definitely not the kind of coach who likes to talk about it, he is relatively low-key. So he rarely announces anything so forcefully and domineeringly in front of the news media.

This time, he broke the routine, which shows that he has a lot of pressure this season.

Ever since he drove away the glory, he has always been shrouded in all kinds of controversy and pressure.

When Glory did well at Werder Bremen, and Werder Bremen topped the list, many people were waiting to see Heathfield's jokes.

In the first half of the season, he had already heard too many such taunts.

The old handsome also has a temper.

So he has always held back his strength in his heart, wanting to prove himself again and show it to those who laugh at him!

He's not dead yet!
