Step by Step to Win

Chapter 259: 3 consecutive victories

The process of the league went by very quickly. After winning 3-0 in the ninth round, nearly a third of the entire league has passed. And when people look back at the past one-third of the league matches, they also found that Wolfsburg had five wins, one draw and three losses, with 16 points, quietly climbing to an unimaginable position.

There are a lot of points changes in the league at the beginning of the league. At this stage, everyone's competition is the fiercest. Often the victory or defeat of a game will change many rankings. After winning 3-0 in the ninth round, Wolfsburg's ranking skyrocketed to the fourth place in the league. Moreover, their points tied with the third-placed Dortmund, but only because the goal difference was not as good as they were behind their opponents. Such a ranking makes the entire league feel incredible. Who would have thought that Wolfsburg, which has been relegated last year, has undergone such a completely reborn change this year.

16 points in 9 rounds may not be enough to fight for the title, but for Wolfsburg, which was still in the relegation battle last year, it was enough to achieve their goals. At least in this way, they are completely likely to get around 60 points at the end of the season. And if it does get this score, Wolfsburg wants to get the European quota, there is absolutely no problem.

There are only 34 rounds in the Bundesliga. From the analysis of the results over the years, the lowest points in the top six in the Bundesliga are 47 points last year, and the highest points are 59 points in the 08-09 season-of course, the previous sixth. No matter whether the score is high or low, there is no European war, but this year, the situation has changed.

Because the Bundesliga has had a good European war in the past two years. Unlike the previous Bundesliga where there were only five places in the European war, starting this year, the top six have all places in the European war. The league rose to the third league. Every team has benefited a lot. In this year's European War, how many points can be scored in sixth place is also something that people are quite concerned about.

Logically speaking, this year's sixth place should still be above 50 points, because this year's competition is fiercer than in previous years. In addition, 11 years is not a major year, the strong team players will not have too much wasted. Therefore, the points will no longer fall below 50 points. But thinking about whether the highest will catch up with the 59-point season, no one has a good opinion.

Wolfsburg's goal this year is the European war quota, and they naturally have to be concerned about this issue. For them, the safest thing is to get a score of 60 points upwards-with 60 points in hand, naturally there is no need to worry too much. In a better situation, maybe they are enough to play in the Champions League. .

But to have such results, for them, the most important thing they need to do now is to play as well as possible on the road. Their away results this season are more problematic. Except for the first game against Bayern, their two losses and one draw were all away, compared with a high winning rate of 75% at home. Only two of the five away games have been won, and they must be more attentive in the away game to go further.

The away game is not easy to play, and it is not an easy task to improve the winning rate of the away game. Fortunately, after the lineup gradually ran in and the strength gradually improved. Wolfsburg is not so embarrassing in the away game. At least, in the next game, they won an away victory.

The unlucky person who lost to them at home was Hamburg. In the tenth round, they also became the dead souls of Wolfsburg.

The Hamburg at home actually played pretty well. At least after the start of the game, it was them who scored the first goal. As usual, when Wolfsburg was playing away, the defense was not particularly strong. Because of Ruth's mistake, Hamburg seized the opportunity and successfully hit the back and broke through the door of Wolfsburg.

Losing the ball again in the opening game, Wolf Castle's away crux is still not small, but this game is different from the previous game in that after the team fell behind this time, Wolf Castle did not lose all the time. On the contrary, in the away game against the enemy, They set off an offensive, and they played against Hamburg without any fear.

Dare to play against opponents in away games, which is generally rare. After all, the opponent has the geographical advantage and the counterattack is very convenient, which is enough to scare many teams. However, Wolfsburg still chose to do this, obviously because they had enough confidence.

With a backline composed of Matic and Makoto Hasebe, there is still a great possibility that Wolfsburg wants to strangle the opponent's counterattack. A good midfielder can give the frontcourt players enough confidence to make them dare to fight hard in the frontcourt. And their confidence is not wrong, this game, they achieved a reversal.

The first to score a goal for Wolfsburg is still Mandzukic. This is already three consecutive rounds of his goal. He is in better form than Gao Shunyao and he has played even more brilliantly. In the game, after the ball passed from the side to the center, it was Gao Shunyao who got the ball first. He made a header near the penalty area and handed the ball to Matic, who was inserted in the midfield. And Matic sent a through ball to the opponent's back, giving Mandzukic a chance to counterattack in the frontcourt, and evened the score with a single shot.

After the score was equalized, Hamburg's defense was also much tighter. After all, they are playing at home, and they have caused a lot of trouble to Wolfsburg. However, this situation was broken after 75 minutes. Misimović, who was replaced, found a second chance for the team.

As a member of the trio of Wolfsburg's frontcourt, Misimović was the only one left on the team. This season, he also lost the main position, more time just spent on the bench. However, when the team needs to attack, he can still stand up and prove that he is not old. This time offensive, he saw an opportunity. After Gao Shunyao ran to tear open the back line, he put the ball against his opponent and sent it into the penalty area.

Such a subtle pass, a little later or a little earlier, will not work, and only he can do it in the team. And this pass, the players of Wolfsburg would naturally not disappoint. After Perisic got the football in the penalty area, he shot a beautiful shot and sent the ball into the net.

That is, with this goal, Wolfsburg won the game.

Compared with the home game, Wolfsburg playing away is still a bit difficult. Fortunately, this situation has been reversed. Being able to win one more away win will also give Wolfsburg a greater advantage to face the next game.

The 2-1 reversal of Hamburg gave Wolfsburg's away score a brighter color, and then, facing Hertha Berlin's home game, they also played more seriously.

As last year's Bundesliga champion and promoted team, Hertha Berlin is now ranked in the middle of the league and can be said to be the strongest in the promotion. However, it didn't take long for them to face Wolfsburg.

In the 17th minute of the game, an attack by Wolfsburg had successfully made Berlin Hertha fall in the middle. In the game, Makoto Hasebe did not choose to split the ball immediately after taking the ball in the middle. He took the ball into it from the center, and when the opponent rushed to grab it, he took the ball to Mandzukic who had not had time to get it in front of him.

Makoto Hasebe did this because he saw that the opponent's central defense was not tight. And Mandzukic also understood his thoughts and made a beautiful cooperation with him. He is not a master of dribbling, so he needs to pass more. He headed the ball and sent the ball back, and Makoto Hasebe immediately put his foot under the ball and continued to send the ball behind Mandzukic. Mandzukic turned and chased after him. Before the opponent's defense was closed, he made a header and sent the ball to the foot of Gao Shunyao who was on the other side.

His pass made Gao Shunyao two quick steps after he got the ball. Just when he was about to get rid of the opposing defender and form a single-handed shot, he kicked the ball to the dead corner of the near post. This choice caught Hertha's goalkeeper off guard. The football got into the net from under his ribs and Wolfsburg scored the first goal.

It can be said that half of the credit for Gao Shunyao's scoring was attributed to Mandzukic, and for this, Gao Shunyao immediately repaid Mandzukic and gave Mandzukic an assist.

In the 31st minute of the game, Mandzukic's shot was hit by the opponent's goalkeeper directly with both punches, hitting it outside the penalty area. Outside the penalty area, after Gao Shunyao grabbed the first point, he didn't rush to attack, but waited for the opponent's defenders to come forward and get rid of it. Then he passed the ball to Mandzukic in the penalty area. When he got the chance again, Mandzukic would naturally not miss it again. His long-range shot also broke the Hertha gate in Berlin once again.

Given the state of Wolfsburg during this period, there is really no problem at all against the enemy's promotion. The two forwards, one person and one goal, basically established the team's victory.

However, victory alone is not enough for Wolfsburg. Their offense still did not stop, and in the second half, they scored again. This time the team's defender Ruth got a chance in the set-kick contention and scored the team's third goal with a header.

Now Wolfsburg's offense has gradually improved, and it has also begun to have the ability to carry out slaughter baptisms on other teams.

In the end, it was Josue who came off the bench to make up for the team. As a former veteran player, he has become a substitute this season, and only after the team is 3-0 can he come up and try.

However, even if time is extremely limited, he still has some play, perhaps because Hertha Berlin's defense has also been completely disrupted.

With a long shot, Josue scored the fourth goal for the team and made Wolfsburg a complete victory in this game. Even after that, because the young player Knoch was not used to the first team game after being replaced, the opponent found the opportunity to score a goal, but, 4-1, Wolfsburg still ushered in a big victory.

This game enabled Wolfsburg to win three consecutive rounds, and after the end of the 11 rounds, Wolfsburg climbed to an incredible position in the standings.

After this round, Wolfsburg became second in the league. (To be continued)
