Step by Step to Win

Chapter 258: Towards the goal

The overall strength of a team can increase steadily with continuous tactical adjustments. After the eighth round of the league, after the national team's game, Wolfsburg gained eight months to adjust itself. This period is also very important for them.

With this period of time, their strength has further strengthened, and then they played better in the game.

In the ninth round, the opponent they greeted was Nuremberg with 2 points less than their points. The two teams played at the same level this season. Although Wolfsburg is playing at home, it cannot be said to be a complete victory.

However, in the game, Wolfsburg has played the strongest level.

After the game started, Wolfsburg quickly controlled the situation on the court. At home, they are more familiar with the venue and have greater advantages. In front of Wolfsburg, Nuremberg was able to resist at first and played back and forth, but after 20 minutes passed, they were basically on the defensive, basically not attacking.

In away games, many teams that are not too strong will choose defensive rather than offensive. For example, Nuremberg is now ranked 13th in the league. A team like this does not have the courage to win an away game against its opponents, but rather wants to defend and win. This is also the reason why some famous defensive teams have better away results than home games, because what they fear most is an opponent that can't be shrunk.

However, this situation is very good for Wolfsburg, a deadly defensive opponent. It is more conducive for them to try tactical changes. They don't care if their opponents want to defend themselves, Nuremberg's combat power is limited, and Wolfsburg's double center play style. It also has an advantage over other teams in the face of tight defense. Soon, they launched a series of bombing on the court, and in the 31st minute, Wolfsburg's goal finally arrived.

This time the attack, Wolfsburg did a very beautiful job. The football was passed from the backcourt. Kjaer gave the ball to the right back Rong, who rushed forward with the ball a few steps. He made a simple wall collision with midfielder Matic and rushed to the frontcourt. He was close to the sidewalk. To kill to the bottom line, while Salihamidzic cut towards the center of the court.

Their cooperation formed a good side raid. There is interaction between the full-back and the full-back, which will make the opponent even more frustrated. The Nuremberg defender stopped Rong. But Rong immediately passed the ball to Salihamidzic. After receiving the ball, Salihamidzic immediately cooperated with Mandzukic who retreated to the side of the penalty area: the ball was given to Mandzukic, and he himself rushed into the penalty area. Mandzukic got the ball, gently pushed it onto the line he was advancing, and leaned on his body to prevent Nuremberg's defense from closing in front of him. The passing of the two people tore through Nuremberg's outer defense line very well.

Wolfsburg's breakthrough ability is not very good in the Bundesliga, they do not have a strong player like Robben Ribery. However, relying on enough experience and technology, they can also achieve the results they want.

Inside the restricted area. The defenders of Nuremberg are of course also waiting. However, this does not stop the goal of Wolfsburg. Salihamidzic, who rushed into the penalty area, took a high ball. The ball was sent to the other side of the penalty area.

Through large-scale transfers, Wolfsburg is trying to tear apart Nuremberg's lineup. On the left side of the penalty area, Gao Shunyao pulled to the wing, made a header back, and gave the ball to Perisic, who scored in the penalty area. His own breakthrough was not good, but no one dared to empty him completely. His pull side made Nuremberg's defense line. A crack appeared, and Perisic rushed directly along the crack.

Then, just in front of the Nuremberg players, he pushed the far corner and sent the ball into the goal, scoring the first goal for Wolfsburg.

From the backcourt to the frontcourt, to the right to the left, the players of Wolfsburg are different from the past. They have now fully connected their lineup. Their offensive players are more closely connected with each other, which has gradually increased their opportunities.

When a strong team plays, it is often possible to rely on the players' personal abilities to determine the outcome. If there is a forward who can pass four or five players at once, then even if the tactics are not good enough, the team can have a lot of victories. However, it is impossible for a team that is not strong enough to play so capriciously. They must rely on tactical cooperation to be able to display a good offense.

The frontcourt players changed positions back and forth, and the football passed under their feet, looking for opportunities everywhere. This kind of kicking style does not look as efficient as counterattack, but it is more effective when facing the opponent's more serious defense. For Wolfsburg, it was this tactic that helped them further enhance their strength.

Soon, they had a similar opportunity again. In the 39th minute, Perisic inserted on the left and a long pass gave the ball to Mandzukic in the middle. After Mandzukic got the ball, the defender in front of him had already taken his position, and he had no chance to kick. Therefore, he passed the ball directly and gave the ball to Gao Shunyao another time.

Left and right, Wolf Castle is another large-scale pass. With a high-altitude ball advantage, they also have the capital to make such an attempt. Gao Shunyao, who got the ball, was on the left side of the penalty area and ran to the front left. Behind him, Perisic quickly jumped in to the front right. The two crossed and crossed one by one, which also tightened the nerves of the defending players. Who knows what their cooperation will look like, and will Perisic get another chance?

Fortunately, Gao Shunyao didn't pass the ball that way. After he pulled to the side, he chose a high pass.

This time, Mandzukic still seems to have no chance of passing the ball, but this ball was not originally given to him directly. Gao Shunyao's cross was not very good. It was directly given to Mandzukic. Mandzukic did not have a way to hit the goal. However, it was enough for him to head back after catching the ball.

Perisic's and Gao Shunyao's moves disrupted the backcourt, while Mandzukic's header formed the fulcrum, and his header returned, allowing Matic, who moved forward, to get a chance in front of the penalty area. His long shot immediately blasted out, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal, leaving no chance for the goalkeeper and hit the goal directly!

Of course, a team's offense cannot be done only between the wide players and the forwards. The proper insertion of mid-range players is sometimes an excellent way to put pressure on the opponent. Rong stayed in the backcourt at this time, giving Matic enough opportunities to get in, which is also an aspect of their tactical rotation.

Wolfsburg’s offense is indeed well coordinated, and their mid-range players also know how to get in.

Two goals are enough for Wolfsburg to ensure victory, but even so, they still haven't weakened their attack. Wolfsburg needs to try different attack methods, and their players need to further adapt.

However, after Nuremberg lost the ball, the defense was even tighter. At least in the first half, they did not miss the goal again.

In the second half, Wolfsburg's offense was also adjusted, Gao Shunyao's retreat increased, and he also began to try to shoot from a distance near the front of the penalty area. Mandzukic can withstand the front and Gao Shunyao can shoot behind him. This is also a good tactical change. However, long-range shots are not single-handed after all, and Gao Shunyao's two attempts failed to score goals either.

It is impossible for a team to practice all offensive methods to the extreme in half a month. Obviously, compared with the formation change, Perisic's attempt to activate Perisic, Gao Shunyao's long-range retreat tactic, they are not practicing well now.

However, for a well-coordinated team, even if some attempts are undesirable, there are still other ways to break the goal. For example, after Gao Shunyao's long shot formed a corner kick, Wolfsburg also got a chance.

This is the 67th minute of the game. In addition to Oaks replaced Salihamidz, everyone else is still on the court. They have two high center forwards, and they are more glamorous on the header, which is also a headache for Nuremberg.

Who to defend is a big question. Although Mandzukic is the number one striker of Wolfsburg, Gao Shunyao is also very dangerous.

At least this time, Oakes' pass was directed at Gao Shunyao who was at the previous point.

The football came out and dropped straight to the front point. Gao Shunyao ran forward two steps before reaching the position of the football. His position is a bit off and he is not good at attacking the goal. Facing the coming ball, he doesn't seem to want to turn around, guide the direction of the football, and push it into the net. On the contrary, after he took a favorable position, he stuck in the place and stopped moving.

In this way, he was stuck in the position, and it was not enough to get the ball-the defender behind him was also tightly squeezing him at this time, affecting his balance.

However, Gao Shunyao really didn't want to attack the goal-the football fell, he hit the header with a header, instead of hitting the ball towards the goal, on the contrary, he nudged towards the far post.

It's not a header, it's not a header back ~www.ltnovel.com~ but it's a goal to the far post. Such passing made the back line suddenly chaotic. Mandzukic at the back point, because the defensive players have already moved forward to look at Gao Shunyao, at this time, he is basically unguarded.

Mandzukic, who has no burden, will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. He rises up from the ground, his whole body is straightened as if he is bouncing upright, and then he throws the ball towards with a heavy head hammer. goal. Football is played at the close corner of the goal, very fast, and there is no change. However, the more simple and crude the header, the more undefensible it is.

A goal was scored and Wolfsburg scored again. Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic's header relay made their score 3-0.

This time the attack is obviously not a tactic-there is no tactic, so dare to play so outrageous. However, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic managed to attack well. This is also because in the exercise of tactical coordination, their tacit understanding has been further deepened.

Wolfsburg's offense is increasing step by step. This rebuilding team has now gone through the most difficult part of the journey. The players' cooperation is getting better and better, their strength is getting stronger and stronger, and they have taken another big step towards success.

Towards their goal, they went one step further. (To be continued)
