No. 294: We are not tourists in Istanbul!

Bremen's strength is undeniable.

Like Wolves, Bremen have a positive and attacking style of play, and it is widely believed that the final will be a Mars vs. Earth match, with the two sides sending the world to a head-to-head battle.

The Munich Zeitung said: "This is the most crucial game of the season for Schaff and his team. As long as they can play the same mercury-like attack away from home as Hamburg, the winner will definitely be theirs. ”

"The key point of this game, in addition to playing a smooth and sharp attack, is the defense against Wang. If the heart of Wolves' midfield cannot be contained, Bremen's title will be overshadowed. This season's UEFA Cup has shown the world that containment is the most crucial factor in defeating Wolves. ”

"So far, no team has solved the problem of the defensive king very well, not even in his worst game, when Wolves took on Marseille away. He still scored the free-kick that was worth a thousand dollars. ”

'Schaff can't focus on Bale and Peter, as he says, and if that were the case, it would have been a dream for Bremen to win the title.'

The Daily Mail said: "Wolves are more eager than Bremen to lift that silver trophy at the Sukuru-Sarakoglu Stadium. It was only the second time in Wolves' history that they reached the final of a European competition, having fallen at the feet of their compatriot Tottenham Hotspur 36 years ago. ”

"Although this is the strongest opponent Wolves will face in the UEFA Cup, and there is a certain gap in the overall strength of the two teams, the final is a fantastic arena where anything can happen, depending on who is more resilient to pressure."

"Wolves! Thirty-six years later, you have once again ushered in a glorious moment! ”

"King, this is your dream UEFA Cup final, you must give a great game to the fans who support you!"

"The two teams in the final have one thing in common, which is their attacking mentality. Wolves are not as weak as people think, although they are weak overall with their opponents. But their attack power is even stronger than that of their opponents. Not to mention other games, let's talk about their elimination of Dynamo Kyiv with an aggregate score of 9-1. ”

"With Kending at the back, Wolves not only have an extra barrier at the back, but also an engine for attacking."

"Wang is the propeller of Wolves' attack, the goal-maker and even the game-finisher when it matters most. With him on the pitch, Wolves' attack deserves the word 'sharp'. ”

'Up front have Walesman Gareth Bale, who has recently switched to wing, and Championship goalscorer Peter. These two are bound to be a headache for any team. Bale's speed and heavy artillery from outside the box brought him fame; Peter's tacit understanding with the king, and his forced breakthrough, was daunting. ”

'With these four young stars, Wolves' attacking power is something that no team can afford to take lightly.

"Schaaf's so-called "not sending someone to keep an eye on the king" is likely to be a smoke bomb. For a natural court conductor like Wang, even if you send someone to keep an eye on him, it is very likely that you will not be able to contain him. The coaches of the teams who have played against Wolves have almost all had one thing in common after the game. They failed to solve Wang's defensive problems. ”

"Of course, it's still too early to say who will have the last laugh, and it's normal for both teams to win the cup in the end. We think. In the finals, whoever is in better shape and has a stronger ability to grasp the opportunity may win the championship! ”

"There could be a big score in this final!"

Judging by the reaction of the media. There is not much difference between the two sides in terms of chances of winning the title, but the three major European gambling companies still think that Bremen has a better chance of winning the championship. They are offering 1:1.9 for Bremen and 2.5 for Wolves.

……

Bremen arrived an hour behind Wolves. Due to the distance and mentality, they seem to be much more relaxed.

At the airport, Schaff generously spoke to the media, "Diego's suspension for the final has a huge impact on us, Almeida and Mertesacker have injuries and are likely to not be able to participate in the final. Injuries and bans are our worst enemies! ”

People have known about Diego's ban for a long time, he has accumulated red and yellow cards and has been suspended, and they have also heard about the injuries of Almeida and Mertesacker, but they did not expect it to be so serious.

'Of course, we were ready for them to be absent. For Bremen, we are not afraid of any opponent! ”

Reporters who know the situation in Bremen nodded, Bremen is not a team like Wolves, relying on a few young people to play the world, and their bench depth is not comparable to Wolves. Without Diego, Bremen and the rising star Mesut Ozil, the new star is growing rapidly, and he can take on the responsibility of Bremen's playmaking attack.

As for the absence of Almeida and Mertesacker, Schaff still has good cards in his hand. The reason why the German dares to talk so openly about his team's injury problems is a sign of self-confidence.

'Wolves were able to reach the final and knock out a team like Marseille in succession, which shows that they have a lot of quality. Especially the 6-1 away game in the semi-finals made me realize that this is a team that is crazy and can beat anyone. ”

"They are a team that deserves respect!"

A local reporter asked: "Some people say that if you don't send someone to keep an eye on the king, you are underestimating him, and you will suffer bitter fruits for it." What was the reason for your decision? ”

Schauff's brow furrowed visibly, did he want to tell me what I really thought?

No!

Absolutely not!

Schaaf said sarcastically: "Before the game started, he began to say that I would suffer the bitter fruit? ”

"As for the reason, I can tell you that he doesn't deserve to be defended by me because he's not Zidane yet. There's a good reason for that! ”

The reporters looked at each other, and they clearly heard signs of anger on Saff. Why was it so light just now that I got angry when I talked about the king?

Why is that?

A reporter immediately diverted the topic: "Some people think that this will be a race between Mars and Earth, do you see it that way?" ”

Scharf thought for a moment and said: "We're the same attacking team as Wolves. In the finals, no one wants to change what they do best, so this final will definitely be the most exciting final in recent years. ”

"Our two teams will give fans all over the world a great, classic final!"

……

After the Wolves came to Istanbul, they went deep and simple, and rarely went out of the hotel except for training, which made the reporters quite helpless.

Bremen were much more generous, and the next morning, Schaaf did not train and allowed the players to move freely. Bremen's players travel in groups to explore the sights of Istanbul.

The German media believes that the two teams have very different performances before the game, mainly because of confidence. The implication is that they don't think Wolves' confidence is as good as Ince suggests.

In a telephone interview with Daily Mail reporter Michael, Wang Rui said: "We are not here to visit Istanbul! ”

This can be interpreted as saying that Wolves are here for the championship, and Bremen is here for tourism!

These words show the Wolves' desire and determination to win the title. (To be continued......)
