"Thomas? Scharf, a respectable opponent! ”

It was the first time Mourinho had such a high opinion of the opposing manager since his game against Werder Bremen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In terms of line-up, Bremen has nothing to be proud of with the Red Rebels, who claim to be sharp forwards, Klose and Krasnić can show off in Germany, but once in Europe, a large group of extravagant attacking combinations can overshadow them.

The Red Rebels discharged the magic quartet of Drogba, Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka in this game, Robben has recovered well and performed well in training, but in this crucial game, Mourinho obviously trusts Messi, a young player who has been red and purple recently.

The back two are David Beckham and De Rossi, with Essien playing the full game against Charlton Athletic and De Rossi rotating with him as Beckham's partner.

In his pre-match press conference, when asked by the media what tactics Bremen would use in this game, he was very sure that Bremen would not disappoint and would stick to their tactical style.

'It's a lot easier to put 11 men in the back than to organise 11 guys, but for me it's too unchallenged, our Bremen style is attacking, we stick to our football philosophy all the time, no matter what kind of opponent we're facing!"

Against Barcelona, Bremen defended their football philosophy with attack, losing that game and now facing the mighty defending champions Red Rebels, who are also in attack.

In an interview before the game, Mourinho also said that the Red Rebels will not be conservative, and the Red Rebels' football is a balanced offensive and defensive football, sitting at home, under the noses of nearly 60,000 fans, the Red Rebels will not be conservative.

"Our home stadium has a glorious record of not being beaten for many years, Bremen are under psychological pressure, we are not afraid of any opponent, we are confident that at the Red Rebels Stadium our attack is enough to destroy any opponent, including Bremen!"

The two managers didn't have any guns before the game, and they had a real battle, and on the football field, they also fulfilled the promises they made before, and indeed arranged a strong attacking lineup and tactics.

This game almost from the moment the referee blew the whistle, it has been fully entered into the **, without any cold field, if in the words of film critics, this is a commercial blockbuster with the main theme, and if you use the words of ball critics, this is a typical offensive battle.

Schaaf is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, he knows that he can't defend away from home, so he has to attack instead of defending, and use offense to limit the attack of the Red Rebels, so at the beginning, he carefully planned the offensive at the beginning.

In fact, he paid off, Klose received a pass from Krasnich in the 3rd minute and hit the goal with his feet in the box, 0:1! Werder Bremen took the lead with a goal!

But Schaaf guessed the beginning, but not the end!

After the Red Rebels won the Champions Cup, how to crack the Red Rebels' almost unreasonable, wave-like attack, as well as their tightly linked net defense, has become a hot topic and interest for many football professionals, and they are even proud to dismantle the Red Rebels' tactics.

Someone once mentioned shrinking the defense, but this tactic was quickly considered to be poor, because the Red Rebels had a stable and balanced formation, once one side defended the counter, they would not easily press on the back, and would not easily give the opponent the opportunity to defend and counterattack, often the counterattack was not completed, and their own defense was broken first.

Later, it was mentioned that perhaps the full-court pressing could limit the Red Rebels, but this tactic resulted in a heavy defeat, a complete defeat, the most obvious being Keegan's Manchester City, which suffered a 7-0 defeat at the hands of the Red Rebels.

The Red Rebels players have strong individual ability, each player has the strength to take charge of the game, and they have played together for many years, full of tacit understanding, cooperate with each other and echo very skillfully, the whole court pressing is very demanding for the defenders, and it may be okay in the face of a team of equal strength, but in the face of the Red Rebels...... Difficult!

So, how exactly do you crack the Red Rebels?

This has become a big problem in European football!

Scharf's tactics in the first half of this game were very clear, attacking, using offense to break down the Red Rebels' defense, limiting the Red Rebels' offense, and he started very well, scoring a goal against the Red Rebels at once, perfect!

But then, after the Red Rebels reacted, they completely overwhelmed Werder Bremen in an almost devastating manner.

Only 2 minutes after conceding the goal, the Red Rebels started the ball on the left side, and Xiao Xiaoluo assisted Drogba to score with a header and equalized the score, 1:1!

1 minute later, the Red Rebels broke the ball in the middle, Kaka retreated to respond, and skillfully cooperated with Drogba, broke through the middle, kicked the goal outside the penalty area, and scored 2:1 again, and the Red Rebels reversed!

But the Red Rebels' offensive is far from over!

In the 11th minute, Messi cut inside after a beautiful dribble on the right side of the ball through 3 people, and the goalkeeper stuck the position in time and saved the ball from the bottom line, which avoided conceding the ball again, but soon, the corner kick of the Red Rebels went to the next city, this time it was Xiao Xiaoluo's former nodding goal and scored, 3:1!

The fans at the scene were almost excited, they saw a tide of offensive in the first 15 minutes, and seeing the team's goal was as simple as cutting tofu, is this going to be a big win again?

Despite being beaten by the Red Rebels and the home side controlling the situation on the field, Werder Bremen still did not change their determination to attack, and the team's defence was pressed very high, but after conceding a few goals, Schaaf still allowed Klose and Krasnicchido to drop back into the midfield to respond.

After the opening round of attacks, the Red Rebels also consciously slowed down the tempo slightly, while Werder Bremen set up a basketball-like zone defense of six men in the midfield, with Klose and Krasnich dealing with Beckham and De Rossi, and then Frings stationed in the hinterland, and the two full-backs were ready to join in the defense.

Judging from the scene, the two sides are still playing very unrestrained, but the Red Rebels really can't come up with a good way to deal with this tactic of Werder Bremen for a while, especially when the midfield is limited.

Although the Red Rebels' tactics do not focus on possession, they do focus on smooth and fast passes, and the midfield is a very important link, once the midfield is clamped, it is difficult for the ball to turn on the field as the Red Rebels expected.

After an early defeat, the clever Schaaf quickly adjusted his team and found a way to contain the Red Rebels, which paid off, resulting in a look of fierce attack for the rest of the first half, but in fact little of a threat.

On the contrary, it was Werder Bremen, before the end of the first half, through a front-court press, Krasnich scored a goal, 3:2, and even commentators said that the Red Rebels had a difficult game to play.

However, at halftime, Schaff misjudged the situation on the pitch, that is, he thought that just limiting the midfield of the Red Rebels could limit the Red Rebels' attack, especially the goal in front of the midfield, which gave him hope of forcing a draw or even defeating the Red Rebels.

But in the second half, he quickly came to his senses.

Mourinho let the two full-backs frequently step forward, frequently launched fast attacks, and cooperated with the two-sided fast horses of Ronaldo and Messi, and frequently succeeded in countering offsides, which led to Bremen's almost unguarded backline being almost hit one by one.

In the 53rd minute, Evra on the left side of the Red Rebels stepped forward with the ball, and suddenly passed a ball over the top, Xiao Xiao Luo pressed the right fullback of Bremen, unloaded the ball with speed, picked up the penalty area, Kaka in the middle followed, and then nodded the ball to the goal, 4:2!

The Red Rebels extended the score again, and the Bremen team suffered another heavy blow.

However, Bremen were clearly desperate and still caused plenty of problems for the Red Rebels in midfield, with Klose having a long-range shot that was thankfully quick enough for Cech to fall to the ground in time to save the ball.

After that, the Red Rebels continued to put pressure on Bremen, especially in the 71st minute, after a beautiful pass on the right side of McConn, he used his speed all the way to the right corner of the penalty area, picked up the back point, Drogba pressed the Bremen central defender, hit the goal with a header, and the ball bounced into the net after touching the ground, 5:2!

After pulling out the gap of three goals, Mourinho saw that some of the players were not in good shape, so he made three substitutions successively.

The successive substitutions did not cost the Red Rebels control of the game, and Bremen's near-lethal attack failed to threaten the Red Rebels again, and the final result of the game was locked at 5-2, and the Red Rebels presented another spectacular game at home.

…………………… In his post-match press conference, Mourinho was full of praise for Schaff, believing that his side had caused quite a bit of trouble for the Red Rebels, and that his players had done well to withstand the pressure and turn the tide.

Schaff admits that the Red Rebels at home are very strong, and Bremen has hardly been able to bargain for anything from the Red Rebels, but this game has also made him see his own shortcomings, and he believes that he will not make the same mistakes as today when he returns to his home stadium.

What are the shortcomings of Werder Bremen?

After this game, everyone was pleasantly surprised by the adjustment made by Schaff in the game, using a regional defensive situation in the midfield, and the idea of limiting the Red Rebels' midfield with overall defensive pressure, because from the game, this defensive method still made the Red Rebels suffer.

Beckham's poor performance, Kaka's performance was not outstanding despite scoring 2 goals, which obviously makes people see that the Red Rebels can still be so restrained.

The strength of the Red Rebels lies in the echo and support of the players, which makes it difficult for the defenders to limit the Red Rebels, but Schaaf used the numerical advantage in exchange for space in the game, which limited the contact between the Red Rebels players, and thus limited the Red Rebels' pass.

Judging from the results, Schaff was defeated, but he was not defeated in the midfield, but in the backline, Bremen's almost papery backline could not stop the Red Rebels this group of wolf-like warriors, but what if it was replaced by another team?

At the same time as the Red Rebels' victory over Werder Bremen, in the other game in the same group, Barcelona beat the visiting Udinese 4-1 thanks to Ronaldinho's hat-trick and Xavi's goal.

After two rounds of matches, Barcelona won two games and occupied the top spot in the group with the advantage of more goals, the Red Rebels were second in the group, and Udinese and Werder Bremen both lost both games.

It can be said that this situation in the group of death is also expected by experts, don't look at Barcelona and the Red Rebels won both games, but in fact, everyone can see that these two games are very difficult, whether it is the Red Rebels or Barcelona, against Bremen and Udinese, they have done their best, but they are still in danger.

There are no weak teams in the Champions League, Udinese and Werder Bremen are not weak teams, and the group stage has only passed two rounds, so it's too early to qualify!

After playing the Champions League group stage, the Red Rebels set off to take on Blackburn Rovers away from home.

Jose Mourinho's side have just played Bremen in the Champions League group stage, and due to the fitness of his players, Mourinho rotated as many as six key players against Blackburn, including Didier Drogba, Ronaldo, Messi, De Rossi, Curtis and Patrice Evra.

Although the main squad rotated and rested, the Red Rebels' bench lineup was also strong, and in the first half, although Blackburn showed tenacity, even ferocity, the Red Rebels still controlled the situation very well, and Ribery found the goal with a powerful shot from close range.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and Mourinho made another substitution, bringing on Alves and Cesc Fabregas for McCone and Beckham, who had already shown a clear lack of fitness, and after this substitution, Blackburn took the opportunity to make a lot of trouble for the Red Rebels.

But soon the Red Rebels regained control of the game, especially in the 67th minute, Robben rushed on the right side, diagonally passed into the penalty area, Essien hit the goal with a header from close range, the ball hit the post and bounced into the net, 0:2!

After that, neither the Red Rebels nor Blackburn were able to create any more chances, and in the last period, Blackburn even had a few more threatening attacks, but all of them were defused by the Red Rebels seeking stability.

The 0:2 ratio was maintained to the end!

After this game, the Premier League ushered in a two-week break, and the players once again went to the national team to report, and the World Cup European qualifiers were back in action.

For the Red Rebels, the national team competition is undoubtedly difficult, but what is even more difficult is that the Red Rebels have to worry about the players who go to the national team, after all, they spend almost the whole month of September, they spend almost a week in two matches, which makes the players' physical fitness in a bottleneck, if anything happens in the national team, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But as the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!
