Chapter 99: Big win over Schalke 04! [10th update]
"The ball goes in. In the 84th minute of the game, Peterson, who came on as a substitute, scored a crucial goal!"
"This goal has pushed Schalke 04 to the edge of the cliff. It can even be said that one of their feet is already hanging in the air!"
"If they can't equalize in the last few minutes, they will lose this crucial game and will be 4 points behind Werder Bremen in the standings!"
"For the Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich, they probably don't want to see the game end with this score."
"If Werder Bremen beats Schalke 04, they will continue to maintain a 4-point gap with Bayern and will not be left behind by Bayern, which makes the suspense of the Bundesliga still exist!"
"When Dortmund are not doing well, we need a team to step up and challenge the Bundesliga giants.
And now, Werder Bremen will take on this burden! "
From the perspective of commentators and the vast majority of ordinary fans, they do not want to see Bayern take the lead from the beginning to the end and win the championship several rounds in advance.
This will result in a lack of suspense in the competition for the league's biggest attraction - the championship trophy.
A game without suspense would seem boring.
Bayern's dominance over the Bundesliga has led to a long-term monopoly of the Bundesliga, which is not conducive to the development of the entire league.
In the previous two seasons, Dortmund played the role of spoiler very well.
Snatching the championship from Bayern for two consecutive seasons almost shook the foundation of Bayern's monopoly in the Bundesliga.
But this season, Dortmund's performance has plummeted and they need a spoiler.
Even if the spoiler fails to win the championship in the end, it will at least create some trouble for Bayern Munich and increase the difficulty of their winning the championship.
And Werder Bremen is now playing such a role.
In the commentary booth of the TV station, the commentators were introducing the information of the player who scored the goal and the significance of this team, this game, and even the entire Bundesliga to the audience in front of the TV at an extremely fast speed.
Except for the fans of the two teams, the rest of the spectators didn't really care about the outcome of the game.
What they care about is whether the game is good or not. As for who wins or loses, as long as it is not a draw, it doesn’t matter.
On the contrary, the assist that Lin Quan just gave made them feel refreshed.
"Lin's pass was amazing. How did he do it?"
"I was stunned. How could the ball be passed like this?"
"If I were Schalke's defender, I would have cursed when I saw this ball. The ball was clearly in front of me, but I couldn't intercept it. I could only watch it roll to the feet of the attacking player and be kicked into the opponent's own goal with a clang. That feeling of despair, tut tut..."
"I've seen through balls, but I've never seen a ground-to-ground arc pass, forgive my ignorance!"
"Haha, I can tell from the first glance that you are not an old fan. Beckham once provided such an assist when he was at the club a few years ago."
"The Bayesian curve is worthy of its reputation!"
"It's a pity that Beckham went to the North American Major League Soccer, otherwise we should still be able to see his wonderful performances in the European arena!"
Although fans think that Lin Quan's goal is very similar to Beckham's, in fact, this goal was stolen from De Bruyne.
Of course, the one who stole the trick was De Bruyne, who became the world's top midfielder ten years later, not the current Ding Ding who is still very young and has not learned this trick.
After scoring the goal, Peterson excitedly ran over to hug Lin Quan and celebrated: "Thank you, it was a great pass!"
“You run well, too!”
The two of them laughed out loud, which meant they could forget all their grudges after meeting each other and laughing.
The players of Werder Bremen ran over excitedly and surrounded the two of them.
This goal greatly boosted the morale of the entire team. At the critical moment when the opponent's physical strength was declining, their goal almost secured the victory.
After the game resumed, Schalke 04, unwilling to fall behind, made the final substitution adjustment.
They replaced No. 13 midfielder Jones with No. 20 striker Pukki.
This substitution means that they have not given up and will not surrender so quickly.
The boos at the Veltins Arena disappeared. Seeing that the team was in trouble, the fans of Shakhtar had no time to boo their opponents.
They stood up collectively, sang the team song and cheered for the home team.
At this point, everyone could see that Schalke's players could no longer run.
So we can only hope that they rely on their strong willpower, grit their teeth and persevere to get through these last few minutes.
Just score one goal, one goal.
They no longer dare to hope for winning the game. Now they just want a draw. They will be satisfied with one point.
However, after the substitution, Schalke's passive situation did not change.
On the contrary, because of the loss of a midfielder, their defensive strength decreased and they were penetrated by Werder Bremen in the middle many times.
In the second half, Werder Bremen's attack was not very smooth, and the opponent's crazy pressing had a great impact on them.
Now, as the opponents' physical strength declined, they began to gradually take the initiative and slowly formed a siege on Schalke's goal.
In such an offense, Lin Quan's talent was perfectly demonstrated.
He did a very good job of organizing and connecting the teams in the frontcourt. As soon as there was a gap in the opponent's defense, his pass would fly over immediately.
Unfortunately, the awareness of Werder Bremen's players was a little lacking, and they missed such opportunities several times.
If they had seized these opportunities, the score might have widened to 3:1 or even 4:1.
In the 90th minute of the game, the fourth official on the long side called 3 minutes of injury time.
Lin Quan did not pass the ball to his teammates anymore. He decided to take the shot himself.
Seeing Lin Quan catching the ball, Peterson, who was deeply impressed by Lin Quan's passing ability, immediately started running.
After scoring a goal, his confidence improved a lot.
And because he came on as a substitute in the second half, his physical fitness was much better than other players.
This meant that even when the game was nearing its end, he still had plenty of energy to run around in the opponent's penalty area like a loach.
Schalke's defenders no longer dared to ignore this guy running around. The opponent's previous goal, whether it was due to luck or excellent awareness, reminded them that they would pay a price if they ignored this guy.
So they specially arranged a guard to keep an eye on him, and asked another person to always be on the lookout for assists in defense.

As soon as the ball is passed to his feet, Schalke players will immediately rush up to double-team him and steal the ball from his feet.
Peterson didn't expect that his deterrent power was so great that it attracted so many defensive players.
This made him feel somewhat proud: See, this is my deterrent power!
Although Lin Quan didn't understand Peterson's running position, he saw him take away two defenders and gave him a thumbs up in his heart: Good run! Seeing Lin Quan dribbling the ball to the front of the penalty area, Uchida Atsuto rushed up cautiously, but did not dare to stretch his foot rashly.
Lin Quan looked up behind him, leaned back and made a gesture to pass the ball.
Atsuto Uchida didn't know what was happening behind him, and he didn't dare to look back. He just thought that the other party was going to pass the ball like before.
So he quickly raised his foot to interfere. It would be best if he could block the ball, but even if he didn't block it, it would still serve as a disruptor and reduce his passing success rate.
But unfortunately, Lin Quan was not prepared to pass the ball.
The moment Uchida Atsuto raised his leg, he immediately pushed the ball forward, leaving Uchida Atsuto where he was, letting the ball be blown away by the wind.
Lin Sang's passing was so sudden and deceptive!
When Onastal saw Lin Quan rushing into the penalty area, he felt his scalp tingling.
He lost two goals in this game, and it was all because of this guy.
This guy is simply his nemesis! He had a painful experience of being penetrated in the crotch once, so he dared not take the initiative to attack.
He adjusted his position, expanded the defensive area as much as possible, and was determined to block the opponent's shot in front of the goal.
Lin Quan rushed into the penalty area and after seeing the opponent's position, he subconsciously glanced at Onastal's crotch.
The latter only felt a chill in his crotch and had a bad feeling: Still coming?
He quickly closed his legs together, not giving the opponent any chance to penetrate his narrow door.
But the result was no through-the-crotch ball, and Lin Quan chose to hit the blind spot in the upper left corner.
Damn it, I got cheated! Onastal immediately moved to the right and stretched out his right arm, trying to block the ball.
But his movement was a little slow, and the football brushed past his fingertips, hit the junction of the crossbar and the goal post, and bounced into the net.
The score became 3:1! Veltins was completely silent as the opponent scored the goal in the second minute of injury time.
No one would fail to understand what this means.
It was that damn number 10 again. He scored all three goals and almost killed Schalke single-handedly! The fans were very dissatisfied that their team could dominate the Champions League and remain unbeaten.
Why did they lose to the opponent they defeated twice last season at their home court? They couldn't accept this fact!
The boos rang out again at the Veltins Arena, but this time, no one knew who the Shakhtar fans were booing.
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Werder Bremen, playing away, defeated Schalke 04 3:1 at their opponent's home ground, further consolidating their lead in the standings.
After the game, the miners' fans were very angry.
They tried to climb over the fence of the stands and rush onto the field.
This scared the Werder Bremen players who were in the away team's stands thanking the team for accompanying them on the expedition.
In order to avoid being besieged by Shakhtar fans, they quickly ended the celebration and returned to the locker room to stay quiet.
Finally, under police escort, they left Schalke's home stadium with difficulty on the team bus.
The game did not present any major difficulties on the field, but off the field, the opponent's fans left a very deep impression on them.
Of course, some bad impressions were left.
This unpleasant away trip created a grudge between the two teams.
I can’t write anymore. I’m so tired…
