Chapter 391: No One Is Optimistic

Rijkaard didn't know that Klose started in place of Krasnic, but it didn't matter, no matter who started the game, it didn't change the fact that Krasnic was injured and Werder Bremen's attacking load fell on Glory.

Originally, Werder Bremen was highly dependent on Glory's performance, and now it has to hold Glory's thighs tighter.

This is not a good thing for Werder Bremen, but it is good news for Barcelona.

"There's nothing to be afraid of Werder Bremen, just because they lost 3-2 away to us doesn't mean they can beat us 3-2 when they come home. The strongest of their formations is Rong. As long as we contain him, Werder Bremen poses no threat to us. What Rong is best at is speed, don't give him space and time to play his speed, cut off the connection between him and other teammates......"

Before the start of the game, Rijkaard was staring at his players in the last minute.

"Now that Krasnic is out injured, he shouldn't be able to play. It's even more convenient, in the front court, who else but Rong can threaten our goal? Pay attention to cutting off Miku's connection with him and leaving him in a situation where he is alone......"

Rijkaard then began to tell the players in detail how to curb the glory and how to freeze it.

Andres Iniesta was still sitting on the bench for this game, not in the starting line-up, he was not listening very carefully, but watching everyone's expressions.

When it came to how to deal with Glory, everyone's expressions were solemn.

Although the manager has told them how to deal with Glory, it is still not easy for everyone, after all, it is not something to be said - before the first meeting, they really thought so, but after one game, everyone's mind was turned upside down by Glory's brace. You know what he will do, and you know how to defend him, but after the actual fight, you just can't prevent him!

Rijkaard started Edmilson in this game because Deco was not able to limit the glory in the last game. If Glory is good to defend, why bother?

Although Edmilson can also play as a central midfielder, he should actually be the most suitable position for central defenders......

Idols are idols, and they can make everyone feel like a great enemy!

Iniesta thought triumphantly, but soon he reacted - what am I proud of? I'm a Barcelona player!

Messi sat on the other side of the dressing room, and like Iniesta, he was also a substitute, but he was more thoroughly substituted, Iniesta was the chief substitute in the team's midfield, and there were still many opportunities to play, and he could come off the bench in almost every game. Messi, on the other hand, just sat on the bench and watched, feeling the atmosphere on the sidelines, and it was difficult to play.

Listening to the manager's words, he was also observing everyone's expressions.

Everyone is afraid of Rong ......

When will I be able to make my opponents have such an expression of facing a great enemy!

That must be handsome!

Little Messi is fascinated......

"Considering that Werder Bremen lost away to Celtic in their last group game, this game is especially important for Werder Bremen. After four rounds of group stage matches, Werder Bremen has only six points and although they are in second place, they do not have a clear advantage with two rounds of group stage remaining. In the final round, Werder Bremen will travel to Porto away. I think a 3-0 loss away from home will definitely make the defending champions angry. It would be a shame if the defending champions did not make it out of the group stage. So in the last game, Werder Bremen was not easy to play......"

“…… Barcelona now dominate the group, with three wins and one draw in four games, and they are top of the table. Porto drew one and lost one in the conversation with Barcelona, and with the win over Celtic, they have four points. In this group stage, they will take on Celtic away from home. If they can beat Celtic and Werder Bremen lose to Barcelona, then Porto will replace Werder Bremen as second in the group, with Werder Bremen and Porto in the final round. As long as Porto can draw at home to Werder Bremen, they will qualify from the group......"

The situation is complicated, and Werder Bremen, who everyone thought was the big dark horse, has become less secure after losing two games...... That's what the 'Group of Death' should look like! If the teams all qualify easily, what kind of 'group of death' is it? “

……

Before the game even started, the commentators from all over the world were briefing the TV audience about the situation of the group and how important the game was.

Of course, even if Werder Bremen lose to Barcelona, they can take control of their destiny in the final round of the group – as long as they beat Porto away in the last round of the group.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is easier to knock Porto than to beat Barcelona, right?

Before the players from both sides came on the pitch, the commentators were given the latest revised starting line-up, in which Krasnic's name was crossed out and replaced by Klose's name.

"Klose starting?"

The commentators were quite surprised, they thought that after Krasnic's injury, the best starting successor should be Charlie Steias.

Many commentators immediately thought of the recent report of the discord between Rongguang and Klose.

Was Schaaf's choice to start Klose too risky?

Or does he want to prove with practical actions that there are no problems between Glory and Klose?

But isn't he afraid that the two of them really have contradictions?

'During the pre-match warm-up, Krasnic was injured and Werder Bremen changed their starting line-up to start Klose in place of Krasnic. But the recent rumors of a feud between Klose and Rong have been rampant, and there are some worries...... These two started together, can they work together? If you can't cooperate, won't it become a solo fight? In this case, Barcelona will be much easier to defend. ”

A commentator expressed his worries, which made the Werder Bremen fans in front of the TV suddenly a little worried......

The match was packed at the Weser Stadium, and many Werder Bremen fans not only came to cheer on Werder Bremen, but also to witness the Barcelona stars.

Especially Ronaldinho.

One of the best midfield artists in football today showed his quality in the last meeting with Werder Bremen, setting up Samuel Eto'o to score with a powerful pass and scoring himself from a free-kick to help Barcelona beat Werder Bremen 3-2 at home. If it weren't for him, Barcelona would have lost at home to Werder Bremen......

His football is so pleasing to the eye, and he always has a smile on his face, it's hard to hate him, even against opponents.

But when the players from both sides came on the pitch, Werder Bremen fans wondered what they were doing here.

When the Werder Bremen players came out, there was a huge cheer in the stands.

This cheer is a reminder to the Barcelona players who are playing at the same time who are at the same time, whose home stadium is this!

One by one, the names of Werder Bremen's players were read on the live broadcast.

When it came to the glorious name, the cheers from the scene were the highest.

Glory's performance against Barcelona not only impressed Barcelona fans, but also made Werder Bremen fans remember it in particular.

Everyone remembers his brace against Barcelona for giving Werder Bremen the chance to fight with Barcelona.

This time, back at home, Werder Bremen fans naturally hope that Glory can put on a better performance and help Werder Bremen beat Barcelona!

Ronaldinho heard such a deafening cheer and turned his head to look at the glory of the team walking next to him.

The hairy boy who was played by himself on Copacabana Beach is now the number one star in a stadium.

This kid's progress is so fast that people can't keep up, just as fast as he runs!

He suddenly understood that he had to train so hard for what Kaka was for, even if it was in the national team, he must be afraid of being caught up by this person!

Looking at the glory, a somewhat absurd thought suddenly popped into Ronaldinho's head - one day in the future, will I also be caught up by this person?

"Klose starting?" When the players came out, Rijkaard saw Schaff's adjustment, and he first turned his head to look at the home team's dugout next door, where Schaaf was sitting in his seat and couldn't read his expression clearly.

Then he turned his gaze to Croe.

What was Schaaf thinking?

Klose and Rongguang obviously have a bad relationship, why do you want him to start?

Forget it, don't think about it, it's always good for yourself anyway.

Klose's appearance will certainly be a source of instability for Werder Bremen.

All you have to do is wait for this time bomb to be detonated...... Barcelona's tactics don't need to be adjusted, it is to divide the glory and cut off the connection between him and other players, and Klose is among them.

Thinking of this, Rijkaard leaned back relaxed and leaned back in his chair.

If Barcelona can win this game, they will determine the status of the group leader in advance, and in the last round of the game against Celtic, they can consider sending more substitutes to play and give them the opportunity to practice. Andres Iniesta, for example, has made so many substitute appearances and has performed well, so he should be rewarded with a chance to start in the Champions League. In addition, Messi is also a promising young man, so he can play and feel the atmosphere of the Champions League......

Rijkaard is already thinking about his next game.
