After the league loses, there are national team games mixed in. It is a good thing for the team itself, which can slow them down, but for the reputation of the team, it is not necessarily good, because This also allows the media to find many opportunities to criticize the team.

In the previous game that Wolfsburg lost to Dortmund, the media had a lot of negative comments. In that game, they were beaten by Dortmund in the whole game. In the end, they lost the ball and made a foul that made people extremely disdainful. Such behavior also made Wolfsburg suffer a lot during this time. Great pressure.

Magath’s team has never been very popular in Germany. While Wolfsburg's rise was very fast a while ago, and it reached the second position in the league in a short time, which also caused the media to go into turmoil. However, with their failure, the media seems to have seen their weakness. Many media believe that perhaps the strength shown by Wolfsburg is only a flash in the pan. Compared with the real strong team, it is not on the same level. This time, it loses. , Maybe it is the turning point of their destiny.

Perhaps what the media said about strength is correct. Compared with Dortmund, Wolfsburg is indeed still far behind. However, it cannot be ignored that Wolfsburg still has a great advantage when facing other Bundesliga teams. Especially when Wolfsburg is playing at home, their advantage is very large, and this is something that no one can deny.

In the 13th round of the league, Wolfsburg did not let the media's nonsense continue. They did not sink into this after proving their loss in the game with their performance.

The home game against Mainz, Wolfsburg won very beautifully. In the opening 23 minutes, Wolf Castle relied on the cooperation of Mandzukic to pull the side, so that Salihamidzic entered the penalty area. He rushed into the penalty area along the bottom line and leaned on Gao Shunyao to hit the goal on the other side, thus looking for an opportunity on the back line. He shot from close range and opened the record for Wolfsburg.

After one goal, the veteran who was about to retire continued to prove his strength with a remarkable performance. In an opponent foul. After getting the set kick, he used a free kick of nearly 30 meters to shoot directly and blasted the opponent's gate twice.

This is the first time that Wolfsburg has scored a goal directly from a free kick this season. This goal also allows people to see that Wolfsburg's morale has never declined, and they still maintain a strong morale. Also able to kick a good ball.

It's not that Mainz, who is facing them, has not thought of fighting back. And their counterattack. It did have an effect. Before the end of the first half, Mainz also used a quick counterattack and pulled back a goal. Unfortunately, their efforts were quickly broken in the second half.

Soon after the beginning of the second half, when Salihamidzic took the ball again, he relied on his performance that he had already scored two goals. Attracted the defense of many opponents. After attracting the attention of the opponent, the old player also made a beautiful pass: he directly sent the ball to the other side of the penalty area with a long pass, giving Gao Shunyao a chance to attack.

Gao Shunyao didn't live up to this pass. He didn't even stop the ball and shoot again. Instead, he went straight to the top with a beautiful header and blasted the ball into the goal. With his goal, the score became 3-1. It also proves that Wolfsburg is not just a Salihamidzic but also a fighting force.

The 3-1 score made Mainz no longer have the idea of ​​pulling it back, but tightened the defense in an all-round way, but this did not make their situation much better. In the final stage of the game, Pollack, who came off the bench, also scored a goal. With a 4-1, the morale of Wolfsburg was not degraded.

This victory gave people a glimpse of the fighting power and morale that still exists in Wolfsburg. However, what people pay more attention to at this time is also their next game.

Everyone knows that the problem of Wolfsburg is not at home, but away. They played away against Augsburg. It is the object of people's attention.

As a newly promoted team, Augsburg is certainly not a particularly strong enemy. They are not outstanding in strength just after upgrading.

However, after the battle with Dortmund, Wolfsburg also had a new perspective on the away game. What they are looking for is no longer simply winning, but how to better consolidate their defense in away games: by attacking, they can defeat teams such as Hamburg and Augsburg, but No matter how many such victories, as long as they can’t win against a strong team such as Bayern and Dortmund, their victory will be nothing but a spectacle and cannot last. In contrast, how to steadily improve their defensive ability is that. Wolfsburg needs to care.

The players in Wolfsburg's defense line still have some strengths of their own. First of all, their midfield strangulation ability is very strong, two midfielders can well withstand the midfield pressure of the strong team, this is an advantage that other teams are difficult to match. It's just that their defensive line is relatively weaker.

Frederick is too old, and he has not been in a very good condition after suffering a serious injury last year. Ruth has just entered the team for half a year, and his talent itself is relatively limited. Kjaer has the skills and reputation, but his style of play seems to have always been out of sync with the Bundesliga, while Rong is not like a defensive player, his contribution is more on offense.

In terms of the lineup alone, they are really not very good. Many times in the Wolfsburg game there were some helpless mistakes, which is not a new thing. Their defensive line is very problematic, especially in the midfield defense, and they have always been poorly coordinated. It is also for this reason that Bayern, who plays the wing, can only play 1-0 against Wolfsburg, while Dortmund, who is attacking in the center, scored 3-1.

And if you want to improve the strength of the team, naturally you must first improve the defensive ability. This is also the most important thing that the Wolfsburg players understand after the defense is completely penetrated by Dortmund.

When facing Mainz, the players of Wolfsburg were still thinking about how to adjust their offensive line, and first played enough morale so that the team would not sink down, and when facing Augsburg, Wolf Castle, who has restored its morale, is thinking about how to adjust its defense and increase its overall strength.

"The forward line should do more to grab the ball, interfere with the opponent's ball in the penalty area line, and the back midfielder should pay attention to the connection with the back line. Don't strive for interaction with each other, don't ignore each other. Offensive and fast offensive and defensive conversions, through long passes To complete with the side road, make good use of our height advantage to complete the quick transfer..."

Regarding how to defend, Magath has been unceasing during this period of time. Compared to a while ago, his request can be said to be more and more detailed.

Many teams have different opinions on how to defend to maximize their advantage. In the past two years, the most popular tactical thinking in the world is the Barcelona style of playing that emphasizes the ball. It is emphasized that as long as the ball is under your feet, the opponent will have no chance. This kind of tactics is not that no one learns in the Bundesliga. At least Klopp of Dortmund has always said that he is learning Barcelona.

However, for this tactic, Magath has no interest in learning. He did not die because he did not like to learn, but because his tactical thinking was somewhat different from that of Barcelona. In his defensive philosophy, letting go is done by the full-court press and all players work together. Starting in Stuttgart, his tactical thinking is that of a midfield all-around player. The wing will open up space and his tactics will be Adjustment, but thinking is difficult to adjust.

Therefore, for the current Wolfsburg, he can only make some more detailed adjustments: for example, Gao Shunyao, who requires more retracements and draws more sides, interferes with the opponent's ball in the penalty area and requires the midfielder's wing. Players participated in the counter-grab, requiring Matic and Kayar to make more linkages to enhance the defense of the backcourt, but he would not propose to let the team play technical possession tactics.

That's not his style, nor is it something that Wolfsburg players can do. What they can do is to sew, fix, modify, and modify Magath's tactical thinking.

Starting from the day he returned to Wolfsburg, he has coached the current Wolfsburg for 30 games. Even this season, including the friendly matches, Wolfsburg has played more than 20 games. Many of Magath’s requirements and many internal thoughts can be quickly understood by the team after he mentioned them. It also gives his tactical details room to play.

For example, if previously, he and Helmos said that he interfered with the opponent's ball before the penalty zone, Helmos would definitely not be able to do it. But now, in this position, Gao Shunyao can achieve this tactical arrangement. If it is before, Matic has not yet integrated, where is the ability to take Kyar into consideration? But now, he can also connect before and after the audience.

However, the tactics that have just been adjusted have many problems when they are actually used. What a good team pays attention to is the integration of offense and defense, which can achieve rapid conversion between offense and defense. While being invincible, it must be invincible. However, Wolfsburg is not such a good team. They cannot do both at the same time. Therefore, what they are pursuing now can only be one of them.

Facing the Augsburg game ~www.ltnovel.com~ Wolfsburg chose to defend aggressively. They did not attack much, but took advantage of the not-so-good offensive characteristics of the newly promoted Augsburg to exercise their defensive standards on them.

Their experiment can be said to be quite successful. At least a full 90 minutes of the game, Augsburg failed to capture the gate of Wolfsburg. However, Wolfsburg also paid the price, and during the game, they also failed to break the opponent's door.

But all this is worthwhile.

"At least for this game, we played away, but we didn't concede the ball."

For this game, Magath made an evaluation in the most concise sentence.

Others may not understand the meaning, but the players of Wolfsburg understands: Wolfsburg's away performance this season is quite poor, and it has only won two games so far. It is very important for them to not lose the ball. Meaning.

Only when you have a firm foothold can you be able to beat others. With a solid backcourt defense, Wolfsburg can go further in the league. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
