On the second day after Bayern Munich entered the German Cup final, Bayern Munich general manager Henes applied to the German Football Association to apply to the German Cup final in advance.

In the past, the German Cup finals in each season were after the end of the season, even later than the European Champions League final. It can be said that it was the latest event to end in the five major European leagues.

But there are some exceptions.

For example, the final of the 2UU German Cup was advanced by a month because there was a World Cup that year, and it happened to be held in Germany. In order to facilitate preparation and the smooth convening of the World Cup, the German Football Association advanced the final of the German Cup that year.

The reason why Heness asked the final to be advanced is similar.

Because there is the European Cup in 204, Bayern Munich, as a big international player, has many international players from European countries in the team.

If the German Cup final is too late, it will be very unfavorable to prepare for the national team. The most important thing is that it is not conducive to the preparation for the German national team, because Bayern Munich has the largest number of German internationals.

The original German Cup final was held on May 30th, and the first game of the 204 European Cup in Portugal was on June 12th, which was less than half a month, so it was so nervous.

Therefore, Heness hopes that the German Football Association will allow the German Cup finals to be played in advance, taking into account the actual situation of the national team and other aspects.

Hones's request seems reasonable.

But it still caused controversy in the media.

Especially the media in Bremen, they collectively firmly oppose Heness's proposal.

"...The schedule of the German Cup has been decided long ago. Now Uli Henes says it will change it... I think the whole of Germany, only Bayern Munich, has such ability. The German Football Association sometimes has to soften his knees in front of Bayern Munich..."

"The national team game is definitely not a reason to change the German Cup schedule at will. If the German Cup schedule can be changed for the sake of the national team, then why not change the league and the Champions League schedule? Are there no large number of international players in the two teams that have entered the Champions League final?"

"Obviously, this is Honess's plot against us"

Why did the Bremen media have such a big opinion on Gene demanding that the German Cup final be ahead of schedule?

Because they all could see what Heness was thinking inside.

The real intention hidden under this high-sounding reason is to try every means to weaken the strength of Bayern Munich's opponents and increase the possibility of Bayern Munich winning the German Cup final.

This kind of thing Heness often does, so the media are not surprised by it.

So why can Bayern Munich win by playing in the German Cup final in advance?

The German Football Association will not advance the date of the finals too much, probably only one month. In this case, it will be the final sprint stage in the league.

If Bayern Munich could hold on to Werder Bremen at that time, then it might be the final battle.

At this time, there was a sudden extra German Cup final, which had to be fully promoted. What impact would it have on both sides?

Werder Bremen was the biggest hit, and their physical fitness may face a huge test at that time. This season, more than once mentioned that the reason why Werder Bremen’s entire team can perform like this has a lot to do with them not being distracted by Europe.

This ensures that their physical energy will not be consumed too quickly.

You should know that Werder Bremen basically relies on a lineup this season to support. Their starting lineup is their strongest lineup, and the strength of the bench is far from the main players - this is a problem for many mid-season teams. Because they have no money and do not have enough attractiveness, the lineup thickness is limited. They often cannot fight on multiple lines, but can only achieve their contributions in one battle.

This is very prominent in many Bundesliga teams. In German football, only Bayern Munich has the ability to fight on multiple fronts. Other teams must give up other events for one event.

Werder Bremen, who only relies on a lineup to conquer the world, suddenly had an unplanned key game when the league was most competitive. Can their physical fitness continue?

The German Cup final is not a game where you can give up just by saying you want to give up, and there will be no hesitation at all. It is a final, and it is a relatively important game. Who doesn’t want to win the championship for the team that reaches the final?

But if you want to win the championship, you have to do your best.

It is doubtful whether Werder Bremen still had the strength to fight to the death with Bayern Munich in the German Cup final at that time.

Even if they really fight Bayern Munich and beat Bayern Munich, what about the next league championship?

Werder Bremen must face the issue of choosing the German Cup or Bundesliga.

In this regard, Bayern Munich is not so worried.

Their lineup is thick enough to cope with two events. For them, who have to fight on the third line every year, this is simply a pediatric department.

At that time, Bayern Munich, who is full of energy and has a deeper lineup, will be able to face Werder Bremen easily.

This is what Heness made.

Although Heathfield won the championship, he had something to say. But at this time, Heaness always considers the interests of the team.

What matters is not his personal grudge with Heathfield, but whether Bayern Munich club can have one or two more championships.

What he will do is beneficial to Bayern Munich.

He has no personal feelings about the honors of the club.

Although everyone can see that Uli Henes has made a wishful thinking, the media also has many complaints about Bayern Munich's dominance.

However, the German Football Association finally agreed to the request of Bayern Munich club and arranged the German Cup final on May 4th.

When this decision and date came out, the media in Bremen responded strongly.

"What am I saying? What am I saying before? I said, this is Uli Henes' conspiracy against Werder Bremen. Now let me be right? Why is it this day? Because it is followed by Werder Bremen's away challenge to Bayern Munich, Henes obviously hopes to disturb our preparations by adding a German Cup final and increase the difficulty of our away games."

"The German Football Association is almost a dog raised by Heness and Beckenbauer - after seeing this, will anyone still doubt what I said?"

"Playing Bayern Munich for two consecutive games, one determines the title of the German Cup and the other determines the title of the league. Uli Henes really plays a good deck of cards."

Unlike the Bremen media, which has complained, the Munich media cheered on this decision.

The Munich Daily even gave the name of these two games, "Four Days of Decisive Battle".

From the German Cup final on May 4th to the 32nd round of the league on May 8th, it was indeed four days.

Four days is a decisive battle.

Whoever loses wins and whoever wins and wins, and whoever wins, is watching two games in four days.

Moreover, the result of the first game can affect both the second game and the second game.

It is a test of the adjustment ability of the head coaches of both sides and the psychological endurance of the players.

In the 25th round of the league, Werder Bremen defeated Wolfsburg 20 away.

Rongguang scored another goal in this game. This is his twelfth goal this season.

Bayern Munich also defeated Hertha Berlin 2l away.

The two teams are still ten different.

Werder Bremen did not leave Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich did not catch up.

At present, the situation is still beneficial to Werder Bremen, so only the Bremen media are clamoring for unfairness. Werder Bremen Club has not made any comments on the Cup final date in advance.

If this score difference can be maintained until the 32nd round, then the final battle that Bayern Munich hopes will no longer exist. Because there are only three rounds left in the league, Werder Bremen leads Bayern Munich ten percent, and even if they lose all the last three rounds, they can win the championship. In fact, before the match against Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen will win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

Now it depends on Werder Bremen who can maintain this tenth advantage.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich will not make Werder Bremen so relaxed. They will keep chasing behind and put pressure on Werder Bremen.

After all, although Bayern Munich performed poorly in the first half of the season, their remaining strength is still there. They are the bosses of the Bundesliga.

If they really exert their strength, I'm afraid there is no one to stop them.

"The performance of Werder Bremen has never been stable, and it has been like this in the past few seasons. The unstable Werder Bremen meets the stable Bayern Munich. I think this league has a highlight..." Some media commented on the remaining games of this season.

Schaff is not worried about the players' psychological problems, what he is worried about is the team's physical fitness problems.

From training, he had already noticed that the team's physical energy was consumed very quickly and could not be replenished for a while.

After all, it is too difficult to make the whole season with just one lineup.

But he didn't dare to change the lineup easily because the substitute lineup was not as strong as the main player, and maybe he would not be as good as the main player's performance after coming up.

In order to give players enough rest, the current training has changed from two practices a day to one practice a day

But even so, the decline in the team's physical fitness may be just a drop in the bucket.

It can be seen that the team is very tired.

Although the team's fighting spirit is still very strong, they are tens of thousands ahead of Bayern Munich, ranking first, and have the chance to win the double championship... These make Werder Bremen players very excited.

However, Schaff felt that this kind of mental excitement could not solve all problems. Physical energy is the foundation of modern football, and spiritual power must always be implemented.

He led the team on a journey with a worried mood - challenging Stuttgart, who performed well this season, away.

This is a contest between the first and third in the league.

It is also the encounter between Rongguang and Ram, two Bayern Munich "abandoned players" in the league.

Two players abandoned by Bayern Munich have reborn in their respective teams.

Rongguang has scored twelve goals and is currently the number one scorer of Werder Bremen.

Ram, after Magath's transformation, took the position of Stuttgart's main left-back.

This scene is really ironic to the Bayern Munich fans - if they don't leave, Bayern Munich now doesn't have to compete with Werder Bremen for the championship, and there is no team in the league that can threaten their dominant position.
