Bremen is located in northern Germany and is surrounded by the huge state of Lower Saxony. However, like the capital Berlin and the other major northern city of Hamburg, Bremen is a separate state and does not belong to Lower Saxony. Unlike Berlin and Hamburg, Bremen has a sister city, Bremerhaven. The two cities are less than 40 miles apart and are closely linked to politics, economy, culture and life.

The name Bremen has been known for a long time, as it is the starting point of Grimm's fairy tales. The 600-kilometre journey south from here to Frankfurt via Minden, Kassel and Marburg is a paradise for animals in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale Shijie, which is based on towns and streets along the way. In today's city of Bremen, you can still feel the atmosphere of fairy tales, and a sculpture called "City Musician" is based on Grimm's fairy tales. The 600-year-old, Renaissance-style town hall, the Roland samurai statue and the Gothic St. Peterly's Cathedral are also famous attractions in the city. Exit from Bremen city centre train station. It takes less than a few minutes by tram to reach Market Square. Across the market square is the world-famous Bertscher Street. Walk southwest from Bertcherstraße through the Schnoor district to the Goetheplatz, the largest theatre in Bremen with more than 900 seats, ideal for theatrical performances. In addition, the Bremen Shakespeare Company, the annual Bremen Festival and the Autumn National Concert are well-known among music and theatre lovers, and there are plenty of street performances here. It can be seen that Bremen's artistic atmosphere is quite strong.

You can't talk about Bremen without mentioning its port. In 1260, Bremen joined the famous Hanseatic League, and when maritime trade between mainland Germany and the northern states reached its peak, many prosperous autonomous cities (including Hamburg, Rostock, Lübeck, etc.) joined forces to defend against pirates, forming a powerful alliance to ensure the security of maritime trade. This move brought Bremen a wealth of money and a high status. Historically fortunate, the Bremen people have a bit of pride, and the residents of this city on the banks of the Weser are proud to be Bremen and are happy to show their culture to outsiders because they consider their education to be the most orthodox. And for tourists, the locals of Bremen can feel a little cold and inaccessible. Perhaps rightly so, Bremen houses like to separate their houses from the street with a front garden, much like they like to keep their distance from strangers.

Bremen's home stadium, Weser Arena, is a sports complex with a running track around the stadium for athletics competitions. The stadium can accommodate up to 43,000 spectators. If you look down at Weser Stadium from above, it will feel like a rubber boat docked on the Weser River. On the north side of the stadium is the office building of Werder Bremen, and four semi-cylindrical transparent buildings are attached to the stadium side. Interestingly, the entrance to the players' dressing room is not located in the stadium, but on the ground floor of the club's office building, and the players can enter it by simply entering the password.

The current Bremen is not the "nerve knife" team built by the attacking madman Schaff in later generations, under the hard work of Rehhagel for more than ten years, the Bremen led by him is known for its iron-blooded defense and excellent team cooperation, and even the unruly Basler has bowed down to "Otto the Great".

The referee of this match is Nielsen from Denmark, the 34-year-old can be called a rising star in the European refereeing world, and is one of the new stars in the refereeing world that UEFA focuses on cultivating, which also reflects the importance that UEFA attaches to this game.

At the start of the game, cheered on by more than 40,000 home fans, the Bremen players who won the kick-off took the lead in launching a tentative attack on Fiorentina.

Basler, who was both physically fit and in good shape, attacked the Fiorentina defence from the start, but with so few players in the attack, the Fiorentina players easily disrupted the opposition's first attack.

Rehhagel, who was standing on the sidelines, saw that Fiorentina's defensive system was very layered, and he hurriedly made a gesture with defense first, signaling the team to play a defensive counterattack according to the tactical arrangement before the game, intending to sneak attack when the Italians were negligent.

But Effenberg, who returned to his homeland, ruthlessly shattered Bremen's dream, in the 17th minute of the first half, Effenberg broke through the defense of Bremen captain Wotawa and sent a precise through ball, Inzaghi easily shook off the Bremen defenders who turned slowly, and after the successful anti-offside position, he dribbled past the attacking Bremen goalkeeper Rolmann and pushed the empty goal to score, 1-0.

Under Rehhagel's order, Bremen still tightened the fence after conceding the goal, waiting for Fiorentina's bombardment and waiting for an opportunity to equalize, but to their surprise, Fiorentina's players also retreated to their own half.

Ranieri glanced at Rehhagel, whose jaw was about to drop in surprise, and smiled coldly: Playing defensive counterattack in front of the Italian team? Don't you know this tactic, which we Italians ponder every day? This time, let you German take a good look at what an authentic Italian-style reinforced concrete defense is!

As a result, under the heavy defense that Fiorentina began to arrange from the midfield, Rehhagel was depressed to find that it was extremely difficult for his players to even advance to the 30-meter area in front of the opponent's goal.

Towards the end of the first half, Bremen midfielder Basler, who had been surrounded by Fiorentina players and put down N times, finally couldn't hold back his temper and "exploded"!

He landed an uppercut that went straight at Massimo Krippa, who had just taken him down......

Kripa was very nimble enough to dodge Basler's fist, and the clever Italian midfielder certainly knew what kind of punishment the opponent would receive, so he did not rush to fight with Basler, but immediately turned around and pulled Effenberg, who was rushing over to "avenge" himself.

"Drop-" The referee interrupted the game with a sharp whistle as he reached into his jacket pocket with his right hand......

Red!

The tall figure of the Danish referee Nelson stood in front of Basler like the wind.

Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable! To create such a bad act under my nose is definitely a serious provocation to the dignity of me, the referee on duty!

Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in a box dozens of meters away from the "place of the incident", had no doubt that in the face of the "Super Mario" who had lost his mind, although the Nelson dude put on a relaxed expression, he couldn't hide his heart at all.

At this moment, Nelson raised his right arm high, and the glorious image of the red card was so conspicuous in the Weser Stadium in Bremen.

Thank God! Basler, you're so talented!

Zhuang Mingge thought of schadenfreude that only a strong referee like Nelson had more courage to unceremoniously act as a stepping stone to "fame" and trample on his feet. In this scene, just like in the memory of the French shijie cup, Nelson shouted at Beckham in front of him with the same posture and the same shape: "OUT!" ”

It wasn't a good game, it wasn't a beautiful goal, it was just a red card in Nelson's hand that silenced the Bremen fans who were desperately cheering for the home team for a while, and in the corner of the stands, more than a thousand Fiorentina fans cheered.

Soon, the Bremen fans relied on the outnumbers to silence the cheers of the pair with boos, and at the same time concealed the short and helpless sigh of Bremen coach Rehhagel.

With the loss of his mind, Bremen, who had lost the core of the organization, repeatedly made low-level passing errors, and neither Neubart, Notava, nor Rufel could effectively fill the huge gap left by Basler's departure......

In front of Bremen, who lacked a playmaker, Fiorentina's players were at ease, 3-0, with Inzaghi scoring twice and Djokaef netting a goal as Fiorentina won away from home.
