Of course, Rongguang didn't cry and went home to look for his mother.

His anger was real.

He didn't expect that he had lost so thoroughly before the game.

The failure of this game really hit him with a huge blow, and it can be regarded as a shock.

He had previously thought that German teams were just like this and performed well in the Champions League. Even Barcelona could win. Even if they lost, they could score two goals, so they underestimated the heroes of the world for a while.

I think even the Champions League is almost the same.

But today, after losing to AC Milan, he realized that there was such a powerful team in the Champions League.

On the way home, he sat in the car, lowered his head and said nothing, his hands hanging on both sides of the seat, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Debola drove the car and occasionally glanced out of the corner of her eyes.

But she didn't say anything.

She knew that this was something glory had to go through.

There is never a person or team in the world who can always win.

Glory must know this and learn to accept it.

So she did not give any consolation, but let Rongguang bear it silently alone.

For German football, the first leg of the quarterfinals that just ended was not a day that would make them happy.

In the past two days of the game, Werder Bremen lost to AC Milan 02 at home, basically bidding farewell to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich also lost 24 to Chelsea away.

However, Bayern Munich has at least two away goals, and there is still a chance to return to home.

Werder Bremen is really dead, he is so stubborn.

Werder Bremen lost to AC Milan in the first leg, 02. Many Werder Bremen fans were very unhappy.

The same unhappy person is Schalke 04's head coach Rangnick.

He kept watching live TV in front of the TV.

He imagined that Werder Bremen would fall into a tough battle with AC Milan at home, and then after ninety minutes of fierce confrontation, they defeated AC Milan 2l at home.

They won, but only led AC Milan by one goal. Although AC Milan lost the game, they scored another away goal.

In this way, the second round of the game becomes particularly important.

At that time, I went to the away game, and it was estimated that there would be another hard battle when Werder Bremen was about to fight.

After two rounds of hard battles, no matter whether Werder Bremen can advance to the semi-finals, Schalke 04 can reap the benefits.

This is Rangnick's wishful thinking. But in the end, Werder Bremen lost 0:2 at his home court to win the net.

This means that the second round of the game basically lost suspense

Werder Bremen, who has no hope of advancing, will definitely quickly adjust its focus and invest more energy in the league.

In this way, it is definitely not good news for Schalke 04, which is still behind.

It seems to be to confirm Rangnick's idea. The 28th round of the league, before the away game against AC Milan in the middle of next week, Werder Bremen ushered in the "Northern Derby".

The opponent is hamburger.

However, in this game, Werder Bremen did not show mercy because of the Champions League next time. Schaff sent all his main players to beat Hamburg away.

In this game, Werder Bremen's players did not disappoint Schaff.

After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Werder Bremen defeated Hamburg 2l away.

Hamburg once led the game, but then the goals of Rongguang and Klashnic made Werder Bremen reverse and win.

Although they won, the competition process was very tangled. Both sides were almost fighting with each other and played very hard.

Such a game will naturally consume the energy of both sides, no matter who wins or loses.

Rangnick watched the game in front of the TV.

He was very satisfied with the situation. Bad things turned into good things.

Although Werder Bremen still won the ball, he seemed to be able to see that the physical strength of Werder Bremen players was losing rapidly...

This is what you want

Before and after the quarterfinals against AC Milan, Werder Bremen will first fight Stuttgart, then Hamburg, and finally have a match against Hertha Berlin.

Any opponent is a tough trick, and it is not easy to deal with in any game.

Rangnick believes that this is God helping Schalke 04.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, you can surpass Werder Bremen in one go, and you can fundamentally strike a heavy blow to the opponent. At that time, you will be eliminated from the Champions League and overtake the league. I believe that Werder Bremen's morale will plummet.

Next is the contest between Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich. As for Werder Bremen? They have been eliminated.

※※※

The next day, Schalke 04 was Uj Stuttgart away. Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2l at home, and the two pursuers continued to maintain pressure on Werder Bremen.

At this time, Werder Bremen no longer had time to consider the league. They boarded the plane to Milan, Italy, and were about to go there to San Siro to work hard for their last glimmer of hope.

Although I lost 02 at home, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, as a professional team, I have to fight to the end.

In this game, Schaff still sent the strongest lineup - except for the injured and absent players, they all appeared.

Especially in the offense, Rongguang, Klashnich, Klose and Miku all started.

For Werder Bremen, things are simpler - they have all conceded two goals anyway, so it doesn't make sense to defend on the away game.

So it's better to attack.

And what they are best at and like the most is offense.

Go all out on the road and give it a try, maybe there is still a chance to create miracles.

So before the game, Schaff mobilized the players very simply.

In the San Siro locker room, the players changed their clothes and looked at their head coach.

"Gentlemen, this is our most critical game. If we can't win over two goals, we will be eliminated. Although the hope is slim, I still want you to work hard. No matter what, don't leave any regrets for this season's Champions League game. These ninety minutes... just take it as a final."

※※※

Schaff's words were very pleasant, but unfortunately this could not make up for the gap in strength between the two sides.

Ernst returned from injury in this game, but in the most important position, captain Bauman is still recovering from injury.

In fact, what Bauman once asked Schaff, even if he was closed, he would be fine, allowing him to appear in the battle of life and death against AC Milan.

But Schaff refused Bowman's request.

He pinched Bowman's shoulder and said, "Sorry, Frank. You play a very important role in the team. I can't let you take risks in this game. The Champions League is over, but the league will not end yet. I need you to play a more important role in the league."

So in this game, Bauman could only sit in the stands at San Siro Stadium to cheer for his teammates.

Sitting with him were other teammates who were not on the roster.

In this game, Schaff brought all the first team players to Milan in order to reflect a spirit and tell everyone that they should do their best and be united. This team is a whole. Only in this way can they be unbreakable

After the game started, Bowman seemed very nervous.

He stared at the court intently, his mood fluctuating as the game progressed.

Although he was two goals behind, he still hoped that the team could advance to the semi-finals.

Most of the time, he set his sight on Glory.

He hopes that glory can create miracles.

※※※

But Glory was in trouble.

The game has entered the second half, and neither side was able to score a goal in the first half.

AC Milan is because they put more energy into defense.

Before this game, they took a lead of two goals per kilogram, so there was no need to fight against Werder Bremen.

So in this game, Ancelotti did not even send a starting lineup with all the main players.

Especially on the attack line.

Kaka and Shepchenko both got a chance to rest.

However, on the defense line, Ancelotti let all the main players start, without exception.

Ancelotti's idea can be seen from this starting lineup.

After leading two goals, AC Milan has no need to fight against Werder Bremen.

Let the main players in the offensive rest in order to deal with the next league. After all, as the season goes on, the schedule of the next game will only become more and more dense, and it is absolutely impossible to be relaxed.
To be continued...
