Chapter 92 The Tenacious Clover [Third update, please subscribe first! ]

On October 26, Werder Bremen will travel to challenge Fürth.

The Fürth Club is located in the small town of Fürth in Bavaria, a small city with an area of ​​only 65 square kilometers and a population of only 110,000.

Not to mention that it cannot be compared with big cities like Munich and Berlin, even compared with Bremen, it seems a bit small.

This season is the first time that Fürth has been promoted to the Bundesliga. For them, getting enough points, staying in the league and staying on the highest stage of German football is the only pursuit of the entire team.

However, this goal seems a bit difficult. Before the start of the ninth round of the league, Fürth won one game, drew two games, and lost five games in eight league games, accumulating only 5 points, tied with Wolfsburg for the last place in the Bundesliga.

Although the team's record is not good, the market for Fürth's football is still good.

Perhaps because it was the first time they were promoted to the Bundesliga, the fans of the small town of Fürth were very supportive of their team.

The attendance rate of each of their games is above 80%, and in some rounds the attendance rate can even exceed 90%.

A total of 17,000 fans came to the Playmobil Stadium, which can accommodate 18,000 spectators, with an attendance rate of over 90%.

The fans of the Shamrocks held high the team's flags, fan scarves, and various slogans and banners in support of the team, showing their support and love for the team without hesitation.

There are many football clubs in Germany, and most of them have their own base.

Teams like Fürth and Hoffenheim can still gain a lot of support even though they are located in a remote and sparsely populated town.

Even though there are few in number, the fans can create cheers in their home stadium that are no less than those of fans of top clubs.

Just like in this game, the fans of the Shamrocks sang the team's anthem throughout the game, cheering for the team regardless of whether the team was leading or lagging behind.

This deeply touched Lin Quan. If domestic football had such a solid community atmosphere and football culture, then there would be no need to worry about the great cause not being able to prosper.

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, Fürth launched a fierce attack on Werder Bremen at the start of the game.

The team is already at the bottom and they have nothing to lose.

If we lose, we will still be at the bottom, but if we give it a try at this time, even if we get one point, it can save our lives!

Perhaps the cheers from the fans at the scene worked, as just eight minutes into the game, Fürth striker Edu scored against Werder Bremen.

This fantastic start completely ignited the atmosphere on the scene. This goal made the Shamrock fans seem to see the dawn of victory.

They were so happy that they hugged each other excitedly.

The team is so eager for a victory, these precious three points are life-saving for them!

But their happiness did not last long. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Lin Quan broke through on the wing and cut inside. He made a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area and broke through Fürth's goal. The score became 1:1, and two of the three points that Fürth fans longed for flew away.

At the moment Lin Quan scored the goal, the Playmobil Stadium seemed to be installed with a muffler and became silent in an instant.

The fans of the Shamrocks seemed unable to accept this reality, and some of the more fragile fans even started crying.

Seeing the opponent's fans so upset, Lin Quan no longer had the heart to celebrate.

Fürth's strength is indeed at the bottom level, their players can only be considered at the level of the German Second Division, and they may not be able to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga.

It was actually quite surprising that they could hold on for so long in the first half.

If they hadn't scored a goal at the beginning of the game, which boosted their morale and kept them in an excited state.

According to Werder Bremen's offensive firepower, at least two goals were scored in the first half.

However, after a moment of silence, the fans of Fürth wiped away their tears and continued to wave flags and sing the team song.

The team has not been relegated yet and there are still many rounds of the league. As long as we persist, there will be hope!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Werder Bremen launched a wave of offensive.

De Bruyne and Lin Quan scored in the 55th and 68th minutes respectively.

The score became 3:1, and there was not much time left for Fürth.

After Lin Quan scored the third goal, Shaf in the coaching booth breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been worried that Lin Quan's condition would be affected after what happened at Fritz's home.

Now it seems that I was overthinking.

With the team ahead in the score, the opponent's offense had lost its order and the defense was running around like a headless fly.

Schaff didn't think the opponent could turn the tables, so he started making substitutions. Lin Quan, Elia and Fritz were replaced one after another.

Because of De Bruyne's recent hot form and his active request to stay on the field, Scharf did not include him in the substitution list.

In the final stage of the game, Fürth still couldn't find a way to break through Werder Bremen's goal.

It was De Bruyne who scored another goal in the final period, completing a brace and helping Werder Bremen to a 4-1 away win over Fürth.

The fans of the Shamrocks were very upset. Before Lin Quan scored in the first half, they thought the team could get its second victory of the season.

But the final result was heartbreaking, but they did not blame the team or the players.

Even when the team was trailing by a large margin, they still stayed on the field, continuously singing the team song and cheering for the team.

With fans like this, even if Shamrock is relegated, it will be able to rise again in the future, right? ...

After this victory, Werder Bremen's points reached 18 points, but because Schalke 04 also won, their ranking remained unchanged and they are still in fourth place.

There was a big upset in this round of games. Bayern Munich, which had been unbeaten for eight games, lost to Leverkusen 1:2 at their home ground, while Frankfurt, the biggest dark horse of this season, lost to Stuttgart away.

The losses of the top two teams have led to certain changes in the standings.

Bayern Munich ranks first with 22 points, while Schalke 04 has 20 points, overtaking Frankfurt to move into second place.

Dark horse Frankfurt is currently in third place with 19 points, while Werder Bremen, one point lower than them, is ranked fourth.

Four days later, the second round of the German Cup kicked off.

In this round of the game, Werder Bremen will play at home against Augsburg, a team they had played against before in the league.

More than 20 days ago, Werder Bremen lost at Augsburg's home ground.

In that game, Lin Quan was sidelined due to injury. Werder Bremen, with an incomplete lineup, was passive throughout the game and conceded three goals to the opponent, setting a record for the most goals conceded in a single game this season.

So, Werder Bremen, vowing to avenge their defeat, struck hard in this game, scoring six goals at the Weser Stadium, defeating Augsburg 6:2 and eliminating the opponent.

In this game, Lin Quan made two assists and one goal, and was substituted in the 65th minute.

De Bruyne still played the whole game, scored a goal and provided three assists, ranking first in the German Cup assist list.

After advancing to the third round, everyone in Werder Bremen was very happy.

But their good mood did not last long. In the subsequent third round draw of the German Cup, Werder Bremen was not very lucky.

They drew the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, and this is their third time playing against Bayern this season.

"Oh my god, are we in conflict with Bayern? Why is it always Bayern?"

Werder Bremen's players don't like playing against Bayern, even though they have a better record against Bayern this season.

However, the German Cup is not a cup competition with low gold content like the Telecom Cup. As the most important cup competition in Germany, the German Cup trophy is very attractive to all clubs.

Therefore, Bayern will not give up the German Cup easily.

It is very difficult for them to replicate the miracle of the Telecom Cup.

After the draw results came out, few people were optimistic about Werder Bremen.

Even though they had tied with Bayern at home before, one or two occasional upsets don't mean anything.

The gap in hard power between the two teams is objective, and everyone can see it.

However, Werder Bremen did not give up the game early just because their opponent was very strong, especially after the head coach and club manager announced that their goal this season was to enter the European competition zone, it was even less likely for them to give up.

Winning the German Cup will directly earn them a spot in the European competition, which means they have achieved their goal ahead of schedule! Moreover, meeting Bayern earlier means they will not meet each other again in the subsequent games.

In this way, when it comes to the final stage of the league, they won’t have to be in a dilemma when facing strong opponents in the cup competition.

If they are eliminated, it might be a good thing. At least they can focus on the league and don't have to worry about the cup competition.

…

Five days later, in the 10th round of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen defeated Mainz 2-1 at home and regained their three-game winning streak.

Due to spending too much energy in the Champions League, Schalke 04 lost unexpectedly to Hoffenheim in this game, while Frankfurt was tied tenaciously by Shamrock Fürth at home.

After this victory, Werder Bremen moved up to second place in the standings with 21 points.

They are 4 points behind the top team Bayern Munich. Although the difference does not seem large, about two games, it is probably unlikely to expect Bayern to lose two games in a row.

On November 8, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage kicked off.

In this round of the game, Bayern Munich will host the French Ligue 1 team Lille at home.

In order to better observe Bayern Munich's competitive state, Werder Bremen coach Schaff personally went to the Allianz Arena to watch the game.

In this game, Bayern showed their terrible ability to create tragedies. In the 33rd minute of the first half, the score on the field had become 5:0! Bayern Munich scored five goals in the 5th, 18th, 23rd, 28th and 33rd minutes respectively by Schweinsteiger, Pizarro and Balmonte.

Pizarro, the 34-year-old top scorer in Werder Bremen's history, scored three goals and completed a hat trick.

Seeing this scene, Shaf frowned.

Bayern has become stronger than before. Their offense has become more powerful, and their defense has become more layered. Both offense and defense have made great progress! It is probably really difficult to defeat Bayern like this! (End of this chapter)
