Chapter 136 De Bruyne: I feel like I’m being green…
After April, Werder Bremen's schedule became denser.
After the semi-finals of the German Cup, they immediately faced the challenge of Wolfsburg.
This is the second time Werder Bremen is hosting Wolfsburg at home in a week.
Both teams fought to the end in the German Cup, and their physical energy was consumed a lot.
If it were other opponents, Werder Bremen's current state would likely be taken advantage of by his opponents.
But for Wolfsburg, they didn't take any advantage.
Wolf Castle, which wanted to launch revenge on Werder Bremen, swallowed two bombs at the Wessel Stadium and returned in defeat.
After winning Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen's winning streak in the league and cup matches has reached 8 games.
However, even after eight consecutive victories, the gap between them and the top still showed no sign of narrowing.
After the 30th round, Werder Bremen is currently ranked second in the standings with 75 points, 9 points behind Bayern Munich.
With four rounds left in the league, Werder Bremen only has theoretical hope of winning the championship.
To win the championship, they not only need to win all the remaining four games.
We also have to rely on Bayern losing all four games.
As long as Bayern wins one game and with their goal difference, they will win the championship.
But expect Bayern to lose four consecutive games?
This is even more difficult than winning the lottery!
So no one in Werder Bremen feels that he has the chance to play in the league trophy, and the salad trophy has been booked by Bayern.
In this round, Bayern Munich defeated the visiting Hamburg 9:1 at home, helping Hamburg break the record for the team's biggest away score loss.
Coincidentally, the record that was refreshed was also created by Bayern.
In the 1963-1964 season, Bayern once beat Hamburg with a score of 9:2 at home.
After defeating Hamburg, Bayern's league points increased to 81 points.
No one doubts that the league champion is theirs, the only suspense is that they can win the championship a few rounds ahead of schedule!
This season, Bayern Munich showed extremely terrifying dominance under the training of Heinx.
In the Champions League knockout round that ended not long ago, facing Serie A overlord Juventus, they swept their opponents out with a score of 4:0.
In the league, starting from the 18th round of the league, they have won 13 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.
This winning streak is very close to their 15-game winning streak record in the 2005-2006 season.
Bayern's 13-game winning streak and the game of massacre of opponents at home have once again shocked the German football world.
Because the strength of the two teams is very different, Bayern's massacre brings less impact to the outside world, not as good as the game in which Werder Bremen massacre Schalke 04.
After all, Bayern is a famous tragedy maker in the Bundesliga and often creates tragedy in the league.
However, no one can pose a threat to Bayern, allowing them to easily win 13 consecutive victories and even create tragedies.
This is what those people in German football are most worried about!
It is never a good phenomenon that Bayern dominates the Bundesliga.
A healthy league requires multiple teams to attack the championship throne, so that the annual championship suspense can be maintained until the end.
Losing suspense too early will only reduce the viewing of the league, which will have an adverse impact on ratings, attendance, broadcast share, etc.
A large part of the reason why the business operations of the Premier League are so successful is that the Premier League games are exciting enough and suspense enough.
If the Premier League is like the Bundesliga and a team like Bayern can lock in the championship early every year, that's a big deal.
It will probably take no time for the Premier League audience to run away!
So they hope someone can stand up and stop Bayern and don't let the suspense of the championship disappear too early.
Among the teams currently ranked at the top in the standings, the match between Werder Bremen and Bayern has all ended, so there is nothing we can do about it.
However, they have eliminated Bayern in the German Cup, which has completed the blockade against Bayern in the Cup!
Dortmund, third in the standings, has another match against Bayern, which is in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga.
This strong match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund is likely to become the most important battle in the Bundesliga this season.
If this game can be won, Bayern will tie the longest winning streak in team history and the league.
Considering that Bayern's opponents were very weak in the last two rounds, as long as they could defeat Dortmund, it was very likely to break the record.
I believe Dortmund will never allow Bayern to make such a record on himself, so this game will definitely be very exciting!
...
"Can you stop Bayern?"
After seeing the German media reports, Lin Quan sent a message to Reus.
"certainly!"
Reus quickly replied to him. The other party's speed made him wonder if this guy was chatting with any girl?
Otherwise, how can I reply to the message in seconds?
"Oh? So confident?"
Bayern and Dortmund are the two closest teams in the Bundesliga. If anyone can stop Bayern, it can only be Dortmund.
"Haha, I can't say I'm confident, it's mainly because Bayern's draw was not good. They drew the universe team Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals!"
"It's like your luck is much better than them. Didn't you draw Real Madrid, the Galaxy Battleship?"
Dortmund's schedule is exactly the same as Bayern Munich, both home and away, and go away after playing home.
The two rounds of the Bundesliga are stuck between their home and one away matches.
For both teams, they need to play four games in 10 days.
There are two high-intensity Champions League knockout matches, and they have to go back and forth on the plane. This schedule is really devilish.
The four teams that reached the semi-finals happened to be from two leagues, and they also avoided the fate of fighting in the same room.
If they draw their own league opponents, there is no need to make such a struggle.
However, from the perspective of watching the game, playing civil war in the Champions League semi-finals obviously did not match up with teams from other leagues.
Unfortunately, in the Premier League, the giants in Serie A were eliminated early.
In recent years, Premier League teams have indeed not performed well in the Champions League. Manchester United failed many times and Arsenal has been in the quarterfinals for the first time every year.
The local Manchester City did not even qualify for the group stage, and last season's Champions League champion Chelsea also fell in the group stage early.
If they performed better and made it to the semi-finals to disrupt the situation, they would not have qualified, such as the Bundesliga and La Liga dominance.
"Haha, is the schedule the same? Do you want to take a closer look?"
When Reus heard Lin Quan's words, he laughed.
What's the meaning?
Lin Quan asked, but the other party smiled but refused to answer.
He had to search the schedule for the Champions League semi-finals online by himself.
After taking a look, Lin Quan immediately discovered the problem.
"I'll go, why are your game a day ahead of Bayern's?"
After playing the game one day early, it means that before the Battle of Tianwang Mountain comes, Dortmund can rest one more day than Bayern.
This is absolutely unfair to Bayern!
No wonder Reus said he was confident, but he took such a big advantage!
"Hehe, it's so stupid. Of course, important matches like the Champions League semi-finals cannot be arranged on the same day!"
"If they are all arranged on the same day or even the same time period, how do you let the audience choose?"
"The broadcast ratings of such games will be very high, and the broadcast fee can make a lot of money, so UEFA will specifically stagger the two games, so that you can make more money!"
Considering that Lin Quan had never played in the Champions League, Reus patiently explained to him.
The Champions League is different from the league. In order to pursue fairness, the league will be arranged to start the game at the same time as possible in some key games.
However, in the Champions League, especially in the knockout stage, we should avoid scheduling the matches together.
The league considers fairness, while the Champions League considers fairness, both business interests must be taken into account.
The sharing of the Champions League prize money and broadcast income is very important for all teams participating in the Champions League.
Therefore, major clubs will not complain about such an arrangement.
