The Era of Emerald

Bremen is located in northern Germany, surrounded by the huge state of Lower Saxony.However, like the capital Berlin and Hamburg, another important northern town, Bremen is a separate state and does not belong to Lower Saxony.Unlike Berlin and Hamburg, Bremen also has a sister city - Bremerhaven (bremerhaven).The two cities are less than 40 miles apart, and their politics, economy, culture and life are closely related.

The name Bremen has long been known to people because it is the starting point of the Grimm's fairy tales.From here, go southward via Minden, Kassel, Marburg to Frankfurt, with a total length of 600 kilometers. Many place names in the fairy tale world of the Brothers Grimm are taken from the towns and streets along the way, while Bremen is the same in the Brothers Grimm. A paradise that even animals yearn for.In today's Bremen city, you can still feel the atmosphere of fairy tales. A sculpture named "City Musician" is derived from Grimm's fairy tales.The 600-year-old Renaissance-style City Hall, the Roland Warrior Statue and the Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral are also famous attractions in the city.From the Bremen city center train station. It takes only a few minutes to reach the market square by tram.Opposite the market square is the world-famous Bertscher Street.Leave Bertscher Street and walk southwest through the Schnoor district, and come to the theater next to Goethe Square. This is the largest theater in Bremen, with more than 900 seats, and it is an ideal place for various cultural performances.In addition, the Bremen Shakespeare Company, the annual Bremen Music Festival and the Autumn State Concert are well-known among music and theater lovers, and there are many street performances here.It can be seen that the artistic atmosphere in Bremen is quite strong.

When it comes to Bremen, one cannot fail to mention the port here. In 1260, Bremen joined the famous Hanseatic League - when the maritime trade between the German mainland and the northern countries reached its peak, many prosperous autonomous cities (including Hamburg, Rostock, Lübeck, etc.) joined together to resist pirates and established A powerful alliance to ensure the safety of maritime trade.This move brought a lot of money and a lofty status to Bremen.The unique position in history makes the Bremen people a bit arrogant. The residents of this city on the Weser River are proud of being Bremen, and they are willing to show their cultural accomplishment to outsiders, because they I think the education I have received is the most orthodox.For tourists, the locals of Bremen can give off a somewhat cold and inaccessible feeling.This feeling may be true, as Bremen dwellers like to separate their houses from the street with a front garden, which is exactly the same as their habit of keeping strangers at a distance.

Bremen's home stadium, Weser Stadium, is a comprehensive sports field with runways around the stadium for track and field competitions.The stadium can accommodate up to 43000 spectators.If you look down on the Weser Stadium from above, you will feel that the whole stadium is like a rubber boat docked on the Weser River.On the north side of the stadium is the office building of the Werder Bremen club. Four semi-cylindrical transparent buildings attached to one side of the stadium are very eye-catching.What's interesting is that the entrance to the players' locker room is not located in the stadium, but on the ground floor of the club's office building. Players only need to enter a password to enter.

The current Bremen is not the "nervous knife" team built by the offensive madman Schaff in later generations. After more than ten years of hard work by Rehhagel, Bremen led by him has defended with iron and blood. Se's teamwork is well known, and even the rebellious Basler bowed to "Otto the Great".

The referee of this game is Nelson from Denmark. The 34-year-old is a rising star in the referee circle in Europe. He is one of the rising stars in the referee circle trained by UEFA. The Union attaches great importance to this game.

At the start of the game, amid the cheers of more than 4 fans at home, the Bremen players who got the right to kick off took the lead in launching a tentative attack on Fiorentina.

Basler, who has excellent skills and physical condition, launched an attack on Fiorentina's defense line at the beginning of the game, but because Bremen invested too few players in offense, Fiorentina's players destroyed the opponent's defense very easily. First offense.

Standing on the sidelines, Rehhagel saw that Fiorentina's defensive system was very layered. With defense as the first priority, he quickly gestured for the team to play defensive counterattacks according to the pre-match tactical arrangement, intending to take advantage of the negligence of the Italians. Time for a sneak attack.

But Effenberg, who returned to his motherland, ruthlessly shattered Bremen's dream. In the 17th minute of the first half, Effenberg sent a precise shot after breaking through the defense of Bremen captain Votava With a through ball, Inzaghi easily shook off the slow-turning Bremen defender. After successfully anti-offside, he passed the Bremen goalkeeper Rollmann who was attacking, and pushed an empty goal to score, [-]-[-].

Under Rehhagel's order, after conceding the goal, Bremen still tightened the fence and waited for Florence's indiscriminate bombing, and then waited for an opportunity to equalize the score, but to their surprise, all Fiorentina players also returned. Withdrew to his own half.

Ranieri glanced at Rehhagel, who was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, and smiled coldly: Playing defensive counterattacks in front of the Italian team?Don't know this tactic we Italians are pondering every day?This time, let you, a German, have a good experience of what is an authentic Italian-style reinforced concrete defense!

Therefore, under the heavy defense that Fiorentina began to deploy from the midfield, Rehhagel found to his dismay that it was extremely difficult for his players to even advance to the area 30 meters in front of the opponent's goal. The traditional hard bridge of the German team The hard horse's style of play seemed to be struggling under Fiorentina's defense, and what happened next made matters worse.

Towards the end of the first half, Bremen midfielder Basler, who had been double-teamed by Fiorentina players and brought down n times, finally couldn't hold back his temper and "exploded"!

With an uppercut, he swung directly at Massimo Kripa, who had just brought himself down...

Kripa dodged Basler's fist very flexibly. Of course, the smart Italian midfielder knew what kind of punishment the opponent would receive, so instead of rushing up to fight with Basler, he immediately turned around and pulled Lived in Effenberg who was rushing to "revenge" himself.

"Drip——" the referee interrupted the game with a sharp whistle, and at the same time put his right hand into his coat pocket...

red card!

The tall figure of the Danish referee Nelson stood upright in front of Basler like the wind.

Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!It is definitely a serious provocation to the dignity of me, the referee on duty, to make such a bad act under my nose!

Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in a box tens of meters away from the "incident location", had no doubts. Facing the "Super Mario" who lost his mind, this Nelson brother put on a relaxed expression, but He couldn't hide his feelings at all.

At this moment, Nelson raised his right arm high, and the glorious image of showing the red card was standard and forceful. It was so conspicuous in the Weser Stadium in Bremen.

Thank goodness!Basler, you are so talented!

Zhuang Mingge gloated and thought that only a strong referee like Nelson would have more courage to step on a big-name "villain" like Stowe unceremoniously as a stepping stone to "fame".This scene, just like the French World Cup in memory, Nelson shouted at Beckham in front of him with the same posture and the same shape: "out!"

Not a wonderful game, not a beautiful goal, just a red card in the hands of Nelson, which made the Bremen fans who were desperately cheering for the home team silent for a while, and more than 1000 people came from a corner of the stands Cheers from Fiorentina fans.

Soon, the Bremen fans relied on the crowd to suppress the cheers of the fans with boos, and at the same time covered up the short and helpless sigh of Bremen coach Rehhagel.

As Basler, who lost his mind, was sent off, Bremen, who had lost the core of the organization, repeatedly made low-level pass errors. Neither Neubart, Notava, nor Rufer could effectively fill in. The huge gap left after Basler left the field...

In front of Werder Bremen, which lacked a playmaker, Fiorentina players performed with ease, [-]-[-], Inzaghi scored twice, Djorkaeff scored a goal, and Fiorentina finally won the opponent in the away game.
