Chapter 135: Bloody massacre shocked the football world!
When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the bravest one wins. This principle also applies to the football field.
If Schalke 04 had not been afraid at this time, as long as they could have seized the opportunity of Werder Bremen's full-scale pressure and made a few successful counterattacks, they would have had a great chance of scoring a goal.
But Schalke was scared. They chose to withdraw their forces, retreat to their own half and strengthen their defense, intending to withstand Werder Bremen's offensive frenzy.
This choice was exactly what coach Schaff wanted. According to his original plan, if Schalke did not back down and chose to fight back against them, Werder Bremen could only maintain the offensive for a dozen minutes at most and then would have to suspend the attack.
First of all, continuous attack consumes a lot of players' physical energy and cannot be sustained for too long.
Secondly, if the attack fails for a long time, the players will become impatient and easily lose the ball.
But now the opponent has few people in the frontcourt, and almost all the players have retreated to their own half.
They didn't even have the threat of a counterattack, so why should Werder Bremen be polite? Just attack! As a result, the situation on the field soon turned into Werder Bremen besieging Schalke 04's goal.
"This match is so weird. Schalke 04 is a strong team that has made it to the knockout stage of the Champions League. Why are they so passive on the field? I saw them not be so passive when they played against Bayern Munich!"
"Schalke is scared. Werder Bremen doesn't have much pressure to perform well, so they can attack boldly. But Schalke 04 is different!"
"Indeed, Schalke 04's schedule is not very friendly to them. Next, they will face strong teams ranked high in the standings. Every game will be a tough battle. I am afraid they dare not let go in this game, fearing that they will consume too much energy and make it difficult to play in the next game!"
"Speaking of which, why did Schalke drop to sixth place in the standings? Weren't they in the top three in previous years?"
"The reason is very simple. Werder Bremen has risen this season. They took away Dortmund's place. Dortmund took Schalke 04's place. Coupled with Leverkusen's outstanding performance and the dark horse Frankfurt, Schalke dropped to sixth place!"
"Haha, in the final analysis, Schalke is just weak. Even if they can't beat the first three teams, it shouldn't be difficult to beat Leverkusen and Frankfurt. In the end, they didn't seize the opportunity. Who can they blame?"
"The competition for the Champions League spot in the Bundesliga this season seems very fierce. After Werder Bremen, the gap between the third and sixth places is not big. It seems that everyone has a chance!"
"Dortmund's position in third place is still relatively stable. Apart from facing Bayern Munich in the 32nd round, the remaining opponents are very weak, so it is relatively easy for them to score points!"
"The fourth-placed Leverkusen's schedule is not as good as Dortmund's. They will face Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 in the next six games. If they are not careful, they may fall off the standings!"
"Haha, I think Schalke 04 is probably the worst.
In addition to facing Werder Bremen, which is ranked second in the standings, in this game, they will face Leverkusen, their direct competitor for the Champions League spot, in the next game.
The next game is against Frankfurt, who are fifth in the standings. Each of these three games will be tough, especially the one against Leverkusen. If we lose, there will be no hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. ”
The players of Werder Bremen don't care who Schalke will face next, they just want to beat their opponents to death.
In the 28th minute, Lin Quan dribbled past Neustadt in front of the penalty area, giving Werder Bremen a great free kick opportunity.
De Bruyne made a high-quality elevator shot. The Schalke goalkeeper had no reaction to the ball and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Werder Bremen was the first to break the deadlock.
After the goal, the morale of Werder Bremen's players was boosted.
After taking the one-goal lead, they felt more confident and less afraid of losing the ball.
Facing Werder Bremen's fierce attack, Schalke's goal was soon lost again.
Just five minutes later, Lin Quan received a wonderful pass from De Bruyne in the penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper who came out, he picked up the ball, passed the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal.
The score became 2:0, and Schalke's morale showed signs of collapse!
Attack while you are weak. If it were the previous season, Werder Bremen might have chosen to stop after leading by two goals.
But now, the two teams are extremely jealous of each other. Werder Bremen will not only not stop, but will rub salt into Schalke's wounds!
In the 38th minute of the first half, De Bruyne's long-range shot caused the Schalke goalkeeper to lose the ball and it rolled into the penalty area.
There was chaos in the small penalty area, with players from both sides fighting for the ball.
In the chaos, Lin Quan kicked the ball into the goal before the goalkeeper could catch it.
3:0!
Before the end of the first half, Werder Bremen was leading Schalke by a large margin.
But that’s not all!
In the first half injury time, Lin Quan passed the ball into the penalty area, and Arnautovic overpowered the opponent's defender and headed the ball into Schalke's goal! 4:0!
Crazy, crazy!
Werder Bremen has gone completely crazy!
This game was heading for a tragedy! Schalke's players had completely lost their fighting spirit, their faces filled with frustration and confusion.
They themselves also knew why their performance was so bad, allowing the opponent to score four goals in just half a game!
Fortunately, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half in time, allowing Schalke players to take a breath.
Otherwise, in their current state, they will probably continue to lose goals if they continue playing like this.
…
"You did a great job, keep playing like this in the second half!"
In the locker room, Coach Scharf praised the team's performance and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
Obviously, Coach Scharf has no intention of stopping.
Since they had already raised the butcher knife, they had to give them a tragic death anyway, so how could they give up halfway? On the visiting team's side, the Schalke coach made what he considered to be an "impassionate" mobilization, trying to awaken the players' fighting spirit and allow them to regain their form in the second half.
But judging by the players' reactions, his encouragement had little effect.
Schalke's players were completely stunned, and the 45 minutes of the first half were simply a torture for them.
When they thought about the torture and humiliation they would suffer from their opponents in the second half, they didn't even want to play the game.
The opponent played like crazy, scoring four goals in the first half. Who knows how many goals they can score in the second half?
If a tragedy really happened on the road, almost all of these players would be nailed to the pillar of shame!
At this moment, they only hope to escape from this hellish place, the Weser Stadium, as soon as possible.
If possible, they never want to return to this sad place.
But just as life goes on, the second half of the game must of course be played to the end!
Fifteen minutes later, the halftime break ended and players from both teams returned to the field.
Werder Bremen did not pop champagne at halftime, nor did they show any complacency.
So, the torture of Schalke continues!
In the 52nd minute of the second half, Werder Bremen scored another goal through a corner kick.
Seven minutes later, Lin Quan scored directly from a free kick, and the score became 6:0!
In the 78th minute, Petersen, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal for Werder Bremen with a difficult volley in the penalty area.
7:0!
The Weser Stadium was already boiling with excitement, and had completely turned into a sea of joy for the fans of the Parrot Army! For the fans of Werder Bremen, the tickets for this game were really worth it!
Not only did they complete a satisfying revenge, but they also humiliated their opponents time and time again.
When the team scored the third goal and secured the victory, their mentality was completely relaxed, and they spent the rest of the time completely immersed in enjoying the beauty of the game.
The singing and cheering at the scene never stopped. Every time the team scored a goal, the fans at the scene would respond with warm applause and cheers.

Some fans even shouted until their throats were almost smoking because their team scored so many goals.
This was such a crazy game! As for Schalke's fans, when Werder Bremen scored the fifth goal in the second half, they couldn't stand it anymore and started to leave the field one after another.
They are not masochists. Seeing that the team has been defeated, they will only witness a tragedy if they continue to watch.
It would be better to leave this sad place early, out of sight, out of mind, and pretend that today's game never happened.
"That's awesome, that's how we should do it to them!"
Although their throats were hoarse from shouting, the enthusiasm of Werder Bremen fans did not diminish at all.
This game gave them a good vent! "To deal with these crude miners, this simple and rough method should be used!"
"Haha, this tragedy will haunt Schalke people for the rest of their lives and wake them up in fear even in their dreams!"
The fans are happy to watch the fun, because it's not their own team that's been involved in the tragedy. As the party that caused the tragedy, they naturally cannot feel the sadness and shame of their opponents.
Not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans on the Internet were shocked by this game.
"What's going on? Werder Bremen beat Schalke 04 7-0 at home, and the game isn't over yet?"
"Is the score difference so big? Is this a tragedy?"
"It's more than just a tragedy. It's a bloodbath and a massacre!"
"Will this be the biggest defeat in Schalke 04's history?"
7:0, such a huge score difference appears against a strong team like Schalke 04, which is indeed very rare.
Although there are many old fans who have watched football for many years online, they have rarely seen such a huge score gap before, especially against Schalke.
"I checked and found that Schalke's biggest away defeat happened in the 1966-1967 season when they faced Monchengladbach away. They lost 0:11 to their opponent, which was also the biggest defeat in their team history."
"This seems to be good news for Schalke fans. At least they don't have to worry about breaking the team's losing record at the Weser Stadium."
"That's really 'good news'!"
After scoring the seventh goal, Schaff began to replace main players such as Lin Quan one after another.
Winning the game, venting my anger, and inflicting a tragedy on the opponent, that's enough.
There is no need to let the main players waste their energy on the field in pursuit of more goals. After all, in addition to playing in the league, they also have to prepare for the German Cup semi-finals.
We finally eliminated Bayern Munich and Dortmund, and we only need to win two more games to win the trophy. We can't fail at this critical moment, right?
Without Lin Quan and De Bruyne, Werder Bremen's offensive firepower has dropped a lot.
Although the substitute players performed very actively after coming on the court, they did not score any more goals.
In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Schalke 04 7:0 at home. After losing this game, Schalke 04 is 6 points behind Leverkusen in the standings, and there is only theoretical hope for them to enter the Champions League zone.
The huge score difference in this game also caused a huge shock in the German football world.
Many veterans and experts expressed their confusion, saying that the two teams' strength on paper was not much different, and Schalke's lineup was even more balanced.
But why was there such a huge score disparity?
Experts and media outlets have given their own analysis. "I think the reason for such a huge score difference is mainly due to the outstanding performance of Werder Bremen's frontcourt, especially De Bruyne!"
"In the last game against Schalke, De Bruyne was injured and left the field. He played this game with a revenge mentality. As we all can see, he scored a goal and made two assists in this game. He created three goals by himself!"
"Since the second half of the season, the Belgian has become more stable in midfield and has become more and more like a midfield master. Chelsea's eight million is really worth it!"
Some people think that De Bruyne made the greater contribution, of course others think that Lin Quan made the greater contribution.
"Lin Quan's performance in the frontcourt in this game was obvious to all. He not only scored two goals, but also completed three assists. He created five of the seven goals. It can be said that without his outstanding performance, Werder Bremen would not have won this game so easily!"
In addition to the outstanding performances of the twin stars De Bruyne and Lin Quan, some people also believe that it is the credit of head coach Schaaf.
"Coach Scharf's coaching style this season is very different from the past. In the past, he was only good at offense, but this season, especially in the second half of the season, his improvement in defense is obvious to all."
"After the match with Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen's defense seemed to have suddenly come to its senses and became much more stable."
"In the past six games, Werder Bremen has only conceded 2 goals in total. It is becoming increasingly difficult for other teams to threaten Werder Bremen's goal!"
It is almost a consensus in the entire Bundesliga that Werder Bremen has become stronger.
But no one knows how strong they are, and Werder Bremen has used a seven-game winning streak to let everyone see their current strong strength.
A week later, Werder Bremen defeated Düsseldorf 3-1 away from home, once again achieving five consecutive league wins.
Three days later, in the semi-finals of the German Cup, they beat Wolfsburg 4-1 at home, advancing to the final and creating seven consecutive victories in the league and cup.
In its report after the game, Bild added a caption to the background image of Werder Bremen players hugging and celebrating - Champions, here we come!
