At Weser Stadium, the stands with a capacity of 42,000 fans were packed.

There were 40,000 fans for the home team and more than 2,000 for the away team Hamburg.

They are the protagonists of the stadium before the game starts.

Regardless of what Schaaf thinks about this game, the fans are very simple. It's a "northern derby", and that's enough to get their blood pumping.

The game against Hamburg was an emotional catharsis, and they didn't care how the game was going to be played afterwards.

Heathfield sat in his hotel room and turned on the TV in advance, which he wanted to see before the game began.

When he saw such a lively stand, he was relieved.

The fans are so enthusiastic, that's the atmosphere of the derby......

Driven by this atmosphere, the two sides are bound to fight fiercely. Whatever Schaff did, by the time the referee blew the whistle for the start of the match, the game was out of control.

He wants to play slowly, he wants to be as calm as possible?

How could Hamburg possibly get him his wish?

That Topmuller guy is holding back his anger and wants to vent in this game......

So, with your knees, this game is sure to be the most intense northern derby in recent years!

And he, Heathfield, will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

After Werder Bremen was exhausted by Hamburg, Bayern Munich reaped the benefits.

Heathfield adjusted his seating position, chose the most comfortable position on the sofa, and was relaxed and ready to tune in to the upcoming game.

Before the start of the game, the media reporters were in the media booth to discuss the match.

Two hours before the game, they were given the starting line-up for both sides – mainly Werder Bremen, in fact.

At yesterday's pre-match press conference, Scharf did not announce the team's starting line-up.

Now the journalists have finally got it.

"It's the same as we expected, Schaaf is definitely a full bench ......"

"As expected...... But in this way, it is confirmed that Schaaf intends to give up this game? ”

"Actually, even if you lose to Hamburg, it's not a big deal, right? They are also three points ahead of Bayern Munich after the defeat to Hamburg and would regain a six-point lead if they can beat Bayern Munich in direct dialogue with Bayern Munich. Even if they lose all of them in the last two rounds, it doesn't matter, Werder Bremen will definitely win the league title......"

……

Journalists were talking.

Everyone thought Schaaf had given up the game and Werder Bremen would lose at home to Hamburg.

Meanwhile, in the locker room, Schaaf was giving his players the most difficult battle mobilization.

This time, the protagonist is not a main player like Glory, but a substitute player led by Elton.

"Listen to the shouting outside......" Schaff pointed out the door, which was still faintly audible from the stands, though the door was closed.

That's not usually the case, not that the locker rooms are not soundproofed.

It's because of this game, the enthusiasm of the fans is far more than usual.

Werder Bremen is the only top-flight team in Bremen, and fans across the city support Werder Bremen, so there's no such thing as a local derby.

But the derby is a game that every fan yearns for.

Fortunately, there is no local derby, but there is a "northern derby". With this game, the fans' emotions also have an outlet.

"It's a northern derby. The fans in the stands knew exactly what kind of game it was. I have to apologize again to you guys here, I really thought about giving up this game. But now, look at the fans, I want to win this game more than ever. I think you are too, right? Schaaf asked, spreading his hands.

'Hamburg's manager, Topmüller, will definitely think we're going to give up this game. Because by this time he had already seen our starting line-up. He's going to make the same mistake as I did, thinking that we were all on the bench and just going to give up the game. That's right, surprise them, and tell him that you're not up there to make up the numbers! ”

"For a long time, there was a perception that the league title was just a matter for the main players. But this is a wrong view. The league championship is the accumulation of the results of all competitions throughout the season. The outcome of any match can have a significant impact on the league title. I know that some of you won't even be on the list of eighteen for the next game against Bayern Munich. But who would dare to say that the league title has nothing to do with you? We are a unit, the whole is not divided into main players and substitutes, and everyone will contribute to this league championship in their own way, I believe so. This is your fight, and once again, I ask you to win this game for the fans who support Werder Bremen! ”

The substitutes who were about to start were a little emotional by what Schaaf said, their chests heaving violently, and their wheezing was much heavier.

When the game started, Hamburg did turn away from the start.

They used ferocious pressing and tireless running to seize the initiative on the road.

In the first wave of the offensive, they fought with great success.

"It looks like Werder Bremen are going to be in big trouble at home in this game......" said the commentator.

Heathfield, who was in front of the TV, laughed when he heard this.

That's what he wants to see.

What a coincidence that the schedule was arranged, just before the match against themselves, Werder Bremen met such a derby opponent.

※※※

Five minutes passed, the first wave of Hamburgli's attack passed, they retracted and it was finally Werder Bremen's turn.

After Elton got the ball, he rushed forward, and the Hamburg defender came up to press it.

Elton didn't dwell on them in midfield either, speeding straight past and leaving the Hamburg players behind.

But he relied on speed to pass one person, not two.

He soon faced interceptions from two Hamburg players.

This time he didn't continue with the ball, but quickly passed the ball out.

It was passed to Charlie Steias in front.

Charlisteas had his back to the attack, had just received the ball, tried to turn around.

But as the manager said, the opponent will not let him turn so easily.

Charlie Steas felt his opponent's knee hit his thigh hard.

So he stopped possessing the ball and quickly passed the ball out of the air again - he passed the ball back.

In the path of his pass, Elton reappeared.

Glory saw Elton running towards the football from the sidelines, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - that man was not going to ...... Shoot straight at the goal, right?!

Because he saw Elton adjusting his pace on the run.

Then he saw Elton shout something, and Charlie Steas bent down and leaned down.

Almost as Charles Steas did so, Elton picked up his right foot and slammed the ball into it!

Bang!

The football flew over the head of Charlie Steas, and even ...... Also blew the hair of the Greek striker!

※※※

Hamburg's goalkeeper Wecht was in the air and stretched his arms and body as hard as he could to stop the football.

But Elton's shot was not only sudden, but also at a very tricky angle and with a lot of force.

Wecht couldn't reach the football.

All he could do was watch the football...... Flew into the goal that he was guarding!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL——”

Marcel Leiff let out a long voice.

It didn't stop until the ball hit the net headlong.

But he only changed his tone, and then roared loudly again: "The ball is in!" The ball is in! Elton! He opened the scoring for Werder Bremen! What an unexpected start! After receiving a pass from Charlie Steias outside the penalty area, he did not stop the ball, did not dribble the ball, and did not pass the ball, but shot directly from a distance without stopping the ball! Football drilled into a dead end! Hamburg's goalkeeper Wecht faced such a long-range shot from Elton, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip! Even though he soared into the air and stretched his arms as long as he could, it was still to no avail! ”

"Just six minutes into the game, Werder Bremen took the lead at home! In this northern derby, the Parrot Legion has the upper hand! It's really unexpected, you have to know that Lu Dao was just before, or Hamburg was attacking around Werder Bremen's goal! It looked like Werder Bremen's goal was going to be the first to concede...... A minute later, the tide was reversed! Elton!! His fourth goal of the season and his second since returning to the team! He stepped up when Werder Bremen needed it most! ”

The stands at Weser Stadium rang out again with "Tony! Such a roar, this is Elton's nickname.

And it's been a long time since such a voice has been heard at Weser Stadium......

Elton didn't celebrate after the goal, although his team-mates came up to hug him.

However, at this time, he gave full play to his speed advantage, used his speed to accelerate and shook off his teammates who wanted to come up to celebrate, rushed directly into the goal, and when the goalkeeper Weicht had not yet reacted, he bent down and picked up the football in the goal, turned around and ran back, running towards the center circle.

Although his relationship with Rongguang is definitely not good, and he even took Rongguang in front of him yesterday, there is something that the kid thinks is right.

If Hamburg thinks they have any hope of getting the win out of this game, don't give them hope.

How can a ball be?

Glory on the field watched Elton hold the ball and run back to the center circle, and unconsciously clenched his fists - if he was on the field, if he was the one who scored the goal, he would do the same!
