Step by Step to Win

Since the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg has played well against most teams. Even the top players like Bayern have failed in front of Wolfsburg. However, Wolfsburg is not without its own pain points. They lost points in three games in the first half of the season. The draw against Dortmund can be said to be a non-war, but against Schalke and Leverkusen. The game, after thinking about it, always made the Wolfsburg players a little distressed.

Those two games were uncomfortable no matter how you think. Obviously his strength is not weak, but because of various maladjustments in the two-line battle, he was defeated by Leverkusen and Schalke. The process of the game was extremely frustrated.

And it was precisely because of those two games that Wolfsburg's psychological pressure lasted for half a season. Bayern’s perverted good results make Wolfsburg no advantage. They can only follow Bayern all the way. After each week, they all want to see how Bayern’s performance is, but the result is always the same. The players are disappointed and repeat this game time and time again. If it is not for good psychological quality, I am afraid it will collapse early.

Similarly, those two games also had a great impact on Wolfsburg's reputation. Being the second in the league, losing to the third and fourth in the league, and a tie in the fifth, giving Wolfsburg a notorious reputation for being invincible in the first half of the season.

The game itself, the influence of the league, the reputation of the team, and the two draws, Wolfsburg suffered multiple blows. Moreover, if there are any additional blows, the media has been prophesying until the second half of the season. Wolfsburg will encounter trouble after meeting Schalke, which makes the Wolfsburg players quite unhappy.

"For Wolfsburg, Schalke is a threshold that has to be considered. Compared to other teams. Their influence on Wolfsburg is much greater than other teams."

Although they defeated Bayern, when the media did not think that Wolfsburg could be unimpeded in the league. From the media's perspective, Wolfsburg still has several important enemies to deal with. If they are not well dealt with, it is still possible. Will lose points. In the eyes of the media. The biggest opponent Wolfsburg needs to deal with is naturally Schalke. Wolfsburg lost to them in the first half of the season, so in this game, Wolfsburg may also lose again.

In all fairness, the media's predictions are not unreasonable. first of all. Schalke has been in a pretty good form recently, and they played quite well. The draw against Valencia in the Cup is the best proof.

Secondly, Schalke’s strength is indeed one of the most threatening in the league. Their player level is quite high. In the Bundesliga, they can definitely be regarded as a middle-upper team, which is beyond doubt.

In addition, the game time between Wolfsburg and Schalke is not very good. In the middle of the week, Wolfsburg is about to usher in the Champions League match with Porto. After losing the first round. Wolf Castle must play well in the second round, so Wolf Castle encountered a very difficult one-week double-match schedule. In contrast, Schalke’s Champions League is only a week away. Compared to Wolf Castle, they still have enough rest time, and they can fight against Wolf Castle.

Of course, fighting against Wolfsburg might not make much sense for Schalke, but the coach of Wolfsburg is Magath, which is enough to make Schalke very happy to block Wolfsburg. The feud between the two sides is not small. Schalke would not be happy to see Magath become a champion coach.

All these are enough to make the game an important level for Wolfsburg.

It's just the latest state of Schalke. It would be difficult to stop Wolf Fort.

This season, Schalke had played quite well, but as the team's two cores, Huntelaar and Farfan, were injured one after another, Schalke began to play badly. Not long ago, the meritorious coach Stevens dismissed get out of class because of six rounds of invincibility. Schalke experienced a lot of turmoil. It can be said that it is not the previous Schalke.

After Stevens, the team chose Jens Keller as the head coach of the team. Since this coach took office, he has been maliciously believed by the media that the reason why he was appointed was only because of the relatively low penalty. It's better to get rid of when you want to change.

And the level of this coach is really not flattering. After taking office, he coached in a mess. Of course, this has something to do with the injured lineup of Schalke's two main core players, but if this situation cannot be reversed, then what is the reason for the coaching change? To talk about being close to the team, how does Keller compare to Stevens?

This time the coaching change was highly questioned, but Keller's coaching was not useless. The most visible bright spot of the team under his rule is Schalke under his coaching, who drew a 1-1 draw with a strong opponent in the Champions League. It is this fact that he still gets a lot. People's recognition quickly gained a foothold in Schalke.

His victory also made people look forward to: Although this coach seems inexperienced, maybe he is full of fighting power against strong teams? There are always some nonsense coaches in this world, playing the underdogs is a mess, playing the strong team is extremely abnormal, Keller may not be such a person.

It's just a pity that although the media held this idea, their expectations soon turned into disappointment after the game started. Keller's tactical arrangement was completely defeated by Magath in the game.

This game was played at the home court of Wolfsburg-for a week of double matches are played at home. This is the only advantage of Wolfsburg. Because of Wolfsburg’s double matches a week, in Keller’s view, perhaps Wolfsburg’s tactics will be more conservative. In order to save energy for the midweek game, they may choose to defend and counterattack. Precisely because of this, Keller’s tactics are also from the beginning of the game, to immediately attack-taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold to score goals, perhaps a good way to break the dense defense.

He had a good idea, but it was a pity that he had completely guessed the reaction of Wolfsburg. During the game, Wolfsburg had no idea of ​​shrinking the defense at all. What was going on at Schalke was that Wolfsburg also played offensive football. Compared to sticking to the penalty area to save energy, Wolfsburg seems to want to break Schalke directly, so that the game loses suspense. And, sacrificing the league for the Champions League? How could Wolf Castle do that kind of thing?

What they want is the league championship, and naturally they will only work hard in the league. After the start of the game, their offensive waves were higher than the waves, especially when they discovered that Schalke did not want to defend but were ready to attack in away games, which made the Wolfsburg players ecstatic.

Compared to their opponents who are shrinking away, this open style of playing obviously makes them extremely admired. At first they thought they were going to face the tortoise shell, but they suddenly realized that their opponents were so open, they would naturally not be polite.

In less than ten minutes, Wolfsburg ushered in his first goal. When Perisic made a cross from the side of the penalty area on the side, Gao Shunyao got the ball with his back to the goal and tried to turn around to shoot, but he pushed the ball to Shaheen who had inserted it. Shahin shot from a long range and blasted Schalke's door directly. This goal reminds people that Gao Shunyao used to be a tactical center. If there is a suitable responder behind him, he can play surprising football.

Schalke's open style was hit by Wolf Castle quite ruthlessly, and soon Wolf Castle created another opportunity. After Shahin kicked in this time, he gave the ball to Gao Shunyao. Gao Shunyao rushed into the penalty area with the ball, facing the opponent's defense, seemingly waiting for Perisic and Mandzukic to respond from left to right. However, just as the opposing defender was careful to respond to him, Gao Shunyao suddenly kicked and volleyed with a powerful calf, turning the game score into 2-0.

Shortly after the opening, he fell behind by two goals, and Schalke's tactics were completely defeated. They had to recycle in advance and pile up in front of the restricted area. However, this accumulation still did not have any interception effect. Wolfsburg began the bombardment of the high-altitude ball. Before the end of the first half, Mandzukic's header was saved by the goalkeeper and he made a supplementary shot into the net. , Let Wolfsburg expand the game again.

Keller's tactics basically failed completely. Until the end of the game, Drexler scored a goal, taking advantage of the carelessness of the opponent, so that Schalke would not be ashamed. However, such a goal didn't help, Schalke still lost, and Wolfsburg once again secured a three-pointer.

3-1, Wolfsburg won a beautiful victory at his home court. After all, Keller did not become the magical coach expected by the media. Although the team he coached was able to draw Valencia away and created a miracle that shocked the media, facing Wolfsburg, he returned to the chaotic command of his own command. The facts have proved that a young coach and a team that has lost their main core players cannot have enough strength to stop a strong team like Wolfsburg.

In the first half of the season, Schalke, who caused a lot of trouble to Wolfsburg, was easily defeated by Wolfsburg. And the victory of Wolfsburg also proved one thing: in the face of a strong enemy, even if they lose in the away game, they can still win back at home ~www.ltnovel.com~.

After all, this home field is Wolfsburg's own territory. Throughout the season, they have not lost on their home field. No matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be afraid.

"Wolfburg is in good condition, and there is still some hope of a comeback in the Champions League. An away goal will become an important condition that affects their final victory. Wolfsburg must be very careful to use its own advantages to be able to Fight for a victory."

After the game, the media also had to admit that Wolf Castle really kicked out its own prestige in this game. And they also have some expectations for whether Wolfsburg can face Porto's comeback.

Just after looking forward to it, the media still said a lot of words to remind Wolfsburg to pay attention. After all, Porto is not Schalke. They have no major players injured or change coaches. Wolfsburg is still facing a complete opponent. Although playing at home, it is definitely not that good to play.

However, the media's reminder is obviously superfluous. If this game is good or not, Wolfsburg has already counted it. The opponents are strong, but they are definitely not invincible. Wolfsburg’s home court has not fallen so far. They believe that Porto will not be the team that tramples on their home court. (To be continued)
