Rongguang, of course, didn't cry and go home to find his mother.

His anger was real.

He lost so completely, he didn't expect it before the game.

The defeat in this game was indeed a huge blow to him, and it can be regarded as a shock.

He was in the Bundesliga before, and he felt that German teams were nothing more than that, and they also performed well in the Champions League, even Barcelona could win, even if they lost, they could score two goals, so for a while, he also looked down on the heroes of the world.

I think even the Champions League is pretty much that's it.

But today, after losing to AC Milan, he found out that there is still such a strong team in the Champions League......

On the way home, he sat in the car, his head bowed and silent, his hands hanging at the sides of the seat, clenched into fists.

Debora drove the car, occasionally skimming the glory out of the corner of her eye.

But she didn't say anything.

She knew that this was the glory that had to be experienced.

There has never been a person or team in the world who can win all the time.

Glory must know this and learn to accept it.

So she didn't do any consolation, but let Rongguang suffer silently alone.

For German football, the first leg of the quarter-finals that has just ended is not a day to be happy about.

In these two days of competition, Werder Bremen lost 0:2 at home to AC Milan and basically bid farewell to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich also lost 4-2 away to Chelsea.

However, Bayern Munich did have two away goals, and there is still a chance to return to home.

Werder Bremen is really dead, dead.

Werder Bremen lost 2-0 to AC Milan in the first leg, and many Werder Bremen fans were unhappy.

Also unhappy is Schalke 04 coach Rangnick.

He watched the game live in front of the TV all the time.

He envisioned Werder Bremen getting into a hard-fought battle at home to AC Milan before beating them 2-1 at home after 90 minutes of intense action.

They emerged victorious, but only one goal ahead of AC Milan. AC Milan, on the other hand, lost the game but scored another away goal.

In this way, the second round is particularly important.

When the time comes, go to the away side, and wait until Werder Bremen's estimate is another hard battle.

After two rounds of hard fighting, regardless of whether Werder Bremen can advance to the semi-finals, Schalke 04 can sit back and take advantage of the fisherman.

That's Rangnick's wishful thinking. But in the end, Werder Bremen lost 0:2 on their home turf! Neat!

This means that the suspense of the second round is basically lost!

Werder Bremen, who have no hope of qualifying, will certainly quickly adjust their focus and put more energy into the league.

In this way, it is definitely not good news for Schalke 04, which is still lagging behind.

As if to confirm Rangnick's thoughts, in the 28th round of the league, before the away game against AC Milan in the middle of next week, Werder Bremen ushered in the "Northern Derby".

The opponent is Hamburg.

However, Werder Bremen did not show mercy in this game because of the Champions League next, and Schaf did his best to try to beat Hamburg away.

The players of Werder Bremen did not disappoint Schaff either.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Werder Bremen beat Hamburg 2-1 away.

Hamburg took the lead for a while, but then goals from Glory and Krasnic gave Werder Bremen a comeback victory.

Although the victory was won, the game was very tangled, and the two sides fought almost hand-to-hand and played very hard.

Such a match will naturally drain the energy of both sides, regardless of who wins or loses.

Rangnick watched the game in front of the TV.

He was happy with the situation. Bad things become good things.

Although Werder Bremen still won, he seems to be able to see that Werder Bremen's players are losing their stamina at a rapid pace......

That's what you want!

Around the quarter-finals against AC Milan, Werder Bremen will play Stuttgart, then Hamburg and finally Hertha Berlin.

Any opponent is a tough nut to crack, and no game is easy to deal with.

Rangnick thinks it's God helping Schalke 04.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, one blow and surpassing Werder Bremen, you can fundamentally form a heavy blow to the other party. When the time comes, the Champions League will be eliminated and the league will be overtaken, and I believe that the morale of Werder Bremen will plummet.

Next up is the battle between Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich. As for Werder Bremen? They've been knocked out!

※※※

The next day, Schalke 04 beat Stuttgart 1-0 away. Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 at home and the two pursuers continued to keep the pressure on Werder Bremen.

By this time, Werder Bremen had no idea about the league and had boarded a plane to Milan, Italy, where they were going to San Siro to work for their last glimmer of hope.

Although we lost 0:2 at home, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, as a professional team, we have to fight to the end.

Schaff also fielded the strongest squad in this game - except for the players who were injured and absent, all of them played.

Especially offensively. Glory, Krasnic, Klose and Miku all started the game.

For Werder Bremen, things were simpler – they had conceded two goals anyway and there was little point in defending on the road.

So it's better to attack.

And what they do best and what they love the most is attacking.

Go all out on the road, give it a go, and maybe have a chance to do a miracle.

So before the game, the mobilization that Schaaf did to the players was also very simple.

In the dressing room at the San Siro, the players changed their clothes and looked at their manager.

"Gentlemen, this is our most crucial game. If we don't win by more than two goals, we'll be knocked out, and although the hope is slim, I want you to try to fight for it. Anyway, don't leave any regrets with this season's Champions League matches! These ninety minutes...... Let's play it like a final! ”

※※※

Schaaf's words are very beautiful, but unfortunately this does not make up for the difference in strength between the two sides.

Ernst returned from injury in this game, but captain Bowman is still recovering from injury in the most important position.

In fact, Bowman once asked Schaff to play in the life-and-death battle against AC Milan.

However, Schaaf refused Bowman's request.

He squeezed Bowman's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, Frank. You have a big role to play in the team and I can't let you risk it in this game. The Champions League is over, but the league isn't over yet, so I need you to play a bigger role in the league. ”

So in this game, Bowman could only sit in the stands at the San Siro stadium and cheer for his teammates.

He was joined by other teammates who weren't in the squad.

Schaaf brought all the first-team players to Milan in this game to show a spirit that they have to give their all, they have to be together, this team is one. Only then will they be unbreakable!

Bowman looked nervous all the time after the start of the game.

He stared intently at the pitch, his mood rising and falling as the game progressed.

Despite being two goals behind, he still hopes his team can progress to the last four.

Most of the time, he set his sights on Glory.

He hoped that glory would work miracles.

※※※

But Glory is in trouble.

The game had entered the second half, and neither side could score in the first half.

AC Milan because they are putting more effort into defence.

Before this game, they had a two-goal lead by a pound, and there was really no need to fight Werder Bremen.

So in this game, Ancelotti didn't even send a full-fledged starting lineup.

Especially on the offensive line.

Kaka and Shepchenko were given a break.

However, at the back, Carlo Ancelotti started all of his main players, without exception.

Ancelotti's thoughts can be seen in this starting line-up.

With a two-goal lead, AC Milan didn't have to fight Werder Bremen.

Letting the main players in the attack go down to rest is to cope with the next league. After all, as the season goes on, the next games will only get more and more dense, and it will definitely not be easy.

At this time, it is necessary to recharge your energy.

Letting the main force rest does not mean letting down the guard.

On the contrary, AC Milan defended very tightly against Glory.

The main goalkeeper is Dida, and the central defenders are Nesta and Stam, who have been working together well in Lazio, with Maldini at left and Cafu at right.

Just by looking at the name, this Milan backline is enough to scare the strikers of the whole of Europe.

Which of these is not a battle-hardened and world-class defender?

Using them to defend Glory shows that Ancelotti attaches great importance to Glory.

Just now, Glory wanted to break through Stam head-on, but Stam used his body to squeeze Glory directly away, and the referee hadn't whistled yet!

The commentators all praised Stam for his clean and powerful defense.

Kaka's eyes on the field have always followed the glory.

He saw Glory being knocked to the ground, and he got up again.

He thought to himself that the reason why the referee didn't blow the whistle might have something to do with the kid getting up too fast, right? When people see that you get up so quickly, it's probably fine, so it's not necessarily a foul, but a reasonable collision...... With this thought in my head, the referee's whistle was not blown.

This idiot...... If you lie on the ground for a little longer, how many more free kicks will Werder Bremen have......

Set-pieces are one of the main means of breaking down dense defences.

But he wasted it so much!

But this game is also too cruel for Rongguang.

Klose and Krasnić were both separated, and there was little they could do against such a defence. And Rong Guang alone has to face four world-level guards, which is too difficult for a strong person.

Compared to AC Milan, the whole Werder Bremen team is still too weak......

Originally, Rongguang joined the giants with him, but he gained a firm foothold in AC Milan, but he couldn't even enter Bayern Munich's eighteen-man squad, and finally went to Werder Bremen.

The gap between the two people widened all at once.

Although Rongguang's individual performance is more eye-catching than his own, when it comes to fighting for overall strength, he has to rely on the team.

Obviously, Glory does not have a good team for him to rely on, and he has to lead the team forward every time, like dragging a heavy train to run wildly, how can the speed be fast? How can the physical strength last?

You're so tired like this...... A sucker.

Kaka sighed softly as he looked at the glory that was still running, looking for an opportunity.
