Chapter 144

On November 11th, Ruhr Stadium, Bochum faced Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen's record in the previous thirteen rounds was four wins, three draws and six losses. They currently rank No.12 in the league. As long as they maintain their form in the second half of the league, there is no need to worry about relegation. However, with their current strength, it is impossible to enter the top seven and play in European competitions.

And the current strength that ranks second in the Bochum League, is it not easy to deal with them?

With this in mind, Bochum started their game.

Although the players in Bochum were ambitious before the game, they encountered many difficulties after the game.

Perhaps because the expectations were too high, the players in Bochum became anxious and their footwork became a little messed up when the team was unable to start the game. Except for a few people such as Shen Peng Grezka, the performance of the other players was substandard.

Neuluerer had no choice but to keep shouting on the sidelines, hoping that the team would adjust quickly.

But his adjustments didn't help.

Bochum's underestimation of the enemy also cost them. In the No. 204 minute of the game, Werder Bremen scored the first goal.

It was their right midfielder Elia who scored the goal. After finding the error in Bochum's defense, Elia shot directly. The ball bounced a few times on the ground and rolled into the net.

The fans at the Ruhr Stadium were a little quiet for a while. This game, which they thought had a great chance of winning, actually allowed the opponent to score first.

Some of the fans who could understand immediately pointed out the problem of Bochum's playing style. They wanted to score too much in the game, and they underestimated the enemy, so they played a little messy.

"What did they do? The level of this game is a bit far from the previous game!"

"That's right. Originally, we were all upgraded teams. How could we win if we underestimated the Bundesliga team in the game?"

"It seems that they are a little proud to be ranked second in the league."

"Not only them, I think this is a remarkable achievement. It is estimated that only Kaiserslautern has achieved this in history, ranking in the top two in the league as a newly promoted team."

"I hope they can adjust quickly. We are satisfied with their current results."

……

No.309 minutes, Werder Bremen scored another goal!

This time it was Hunter, their central midfielder, who scored the goal.

The situation in Bochum immediately took a turn for the worse!

They are now behind zero to two, and it will become more and more difficult to play in the future.

Shen Peng did not get much support in this game. He is not a superman after all. If he retreats to get the ball by himself, he will encounter many obstacles. If he waits in front, few teammates can pass the ball to his feet.

Neuluerer has stopped directing at this time. What he sighs now is that fortunately, there is a halftime break immediately, and he still has time to adjust. If the players perform well in the second half, they can recover two points.

The halftime whistle sounded as expected, and Bochum fell behind [-]-[-] at home. Neuluerer had to quickly adjust the mentality of the players.

In the locker room, Neuluerer did not lose his temper, but the expressions of the players were a little ugly at this time. They also knew their performance in the first half.

"It can be seen that you are in a hurry."

Neuluerer said slowly that in addition to skills and tactics, the head coach must also be able to adjust the mental state of the players.

"Are you thinking that you have to win this game, or you will be widened by Bayern Munich?"

Neuerurer asked, the players were silent and did not answer, of course Neuerurer didn't want them to answer.

"What I want to tell you is that I am very satisfied with your performance this season. I still remember that before the season, a friend asked me, what is my plan for this season? What I told him was to strive to enter the top seven and play in European competitions next season. He laughed at that time and said that it would be good if we can avoid relegation this season."

"But now, we can't help but enter the top seven, and enter the top two, surpassing Dortmund and only a little behind Bayern Munich!"

"So don't put any pressure on you. We have done well this season. Even if we lose, it's okay. We now have 29 points in the league. Even if we lose all the next games, we still have hope of relegation!"

"Okay, I won't say much. You should relax in the second half. I don't ask for the result of this game, as long as you adjust your mentality."

After speaking, Neuluerer left the locker room, leaving time for the players themselves.

……

The break passed and the second half began.

The fans didn't know what happened in the locker room, but the performance of the Bochum players was indeed much better, and they finally returned to their previous level. Although they were not yet able to crush Werder Bremen, they still had the upper hand on the scene.

The head coach of Werder Bremen waved his hand when he saw this, and the players immediately started searching for defense!

They scored two goals away from home and are already very satisfied!It seems that they are now planning to stick to these two goals and want to take three points from the away game.

Neuluerer understood the opponent's thoughts in an instant. After hesitating for a while, he replaced a defender and replaced a striker to strengthen the offense. In this way, Bochum's formation became 3-4-3!

However, Werder Bremen has obviously used this move many times, so they defended like a steel plate, making Bochum unable to find a chance for a while.

Since Neuluerer had already done his work during the intermission, even if he couldn't score for a long time, except for a few players who became anxious, no other players were still patiently looking for opportunities.

No.701 minutes, Bochum's chance finally came.

Due to Shen Peng's continuous involvement, Werder Bremen's defense finally showed a flaw. When Fryer broke through from the side, he seized the gap and kicked through. The ball came to the feet of Sukuta Pasu, who came on the bench.

After receiving the pass, Sukuta Passu made a gesture to attract the attention of the Werder Bremen defender and goalkeeper, and then crossed the ball. The ball came to the feet of another forward, Dedic, who lightly pushed and scored.

One to two, Bochum went through a hard fight and finally recovered one point.

However, the players in Bochum were not satisfied. Dedic picked up the ball in the net and ran towards the center line.

Seeing this situation, Dutt, the head coach of Yunda Bremen, frowned. Although the players had done a good job in defense, they were still pulled by Shen Peng to save space and scored goals. If this continues, it will not be good!

So he immediately made a substitution, replacing striker Di Santo and putting on striker Bagfried.
