Step by Step to Win

Chapter 405: Compare

The head coach clearly said in the locker room to give up the league, which may be a big blow to many teams. But for the current Wolfsburg, this incident did not arouse them too much resentment. Because they know very well that Magath’s words are basically the truth, and the reason why he said these words is because for Wolfsburg, the next game against Manchester United is very important. In important games Before, tell the players that they don't have to be annoyed by past failures, but to focus on the goals ahead. This is also what a coach should do.

The players are very clear about this, and they also understand how important the next game is. If a team is not strong enough, then there must be some choices. On certain fronts, it’s a smart way to save some energy and reduce consumption. After all, it is too difficult to fight in the third line and achieve good results in the third line. There were only four such things as the triple crown in the decades before 2000. This is not easy to obtain. Of honor. It is not a shame to give up on one front, but if you can't play well on multiple fronts, it will be completely ashamed.

Of course, the current football world is different from before. With the reform, some strong teams in the football world have become stronger and stronger. In recent years, the triple crown, or the teams that are likely to win the triple crown, have mushroomed. It's not a lot of risking to go outside, but those teams are still giants after all. If they are not giants but just ordinary teams, they want to race in multiple lines. There are often no good results.

This kind of thing has been proved many times, and just recently, Dortmund once again proved this truth.

Dortmund this season. On both fronts, they have been trying to kill Bayern. And until a while ago, they did a good job. However, the impact of the injury did not stay away from them. After defeating Wolfsburg, they finally showed fatigue.

After Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg, they did not play well in the next game. Their task this season is already very heavy. Encountered a death group in the Champions League until the start of the final round. They are still in the third position of the disadvantaged group. For them, it is very likely that a defeat will allow them to return to their former situation. In the league, they encountered the top three teams in the league three times in four rounds, and they also encountered the devil schedule. Both fronts are under great combat pressure. But they have encountered a wave of injuries, no matter how hard they gritted their teeth, they are just as overwhelmed.

At this time, Dortmund ushered in a clash with Bayern. And Dortmund, who were sick and sick, played on their own home court, and did not give them much advantage. Facing Bayern, they lost 0-3 at once. This game also completely widened the gap between Dortmund and Bayern, and even caused a concentrated outbreak of the problem they have been gathering. Although after losing to Bayern, they still managed to hold on again. But then, in the game against Leverkusen, Dortmund lost again. Lost two in three consecutive games, and suddenly opened the gap with Bayern.

Strong enemies have fallen into the sand, Bayern this season, it seems that the league champions will also be included in the bag steadily. Dortmund is about to face a tough situation. Now they have 15 wins, 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. The 34 points are the same as Wolfsburg, and the goal difference is slightly superior. But basically there is no way to continue to compete for the championship, and what is even more sad is that they are not only third in the league, but also third in the Champions League group. That is the imminent trouble.

On the contrary, it is Leverkusen. Before this season, no one paid much attention to them. They did give up early in this year’s Champions League and hardly played any role. However, because they did not play double laners, they were in the league. Instead, he kept biting the opponent in front of him in a very low-key manner. After 15 rounds, their points have reached 37 points, but they surpassed Wolfsburg and Dortmund to become second in the league.

Their good ranking seems to once again prove the importance of a reasonable allocation of energy, of course, their status as the league's second has not received too many people's attention. After all, the season is almost halfway through, and it is still 4 points behind the top of the rankings. It was not a particularly good result. In the final analysis, Leverkusen was a little weaker. It was a surprise to have such a result in the first half of the season. May win the championship, but it is undeniable that they can run ahead of Wolfsburg and Dortmund, which is really surprising.

And now Dortmund, like Wolfsburg, needs to focus on the Champions League. But they are still inferior to Wolfsburg, because they have put too much energy into the league some time ago, and they are now in the Champions League, which is also quite unsatisfactory. Competing with Naples and Arsenal is not a simple matter after all. Their last round is under heavy pressure. As long as the 90 minutes is not good enough, then for them, this season is basically a complete reimbursement.

If you can't decide your choice, or you can't put yourself in the right position, the consequences are so terrible.

Compared with them, Wolfsburg is already a better one. At least in this last match, as long as they can win, or even just get a tie, they can qualify as the group first, and even if they play slightly worse, they only get second in the group. They can at least play in the Champions League, which is much better than Dortmund.

Some people say that happiness is something that can only be obtained by comparing with others. This is the case for Wolfsburg players. Look at Leverkusen, they will feel that they played terribly in the league, but look at Dortmund, they feel that they are pretty good. And if you look at the opponent Manchester United in this game... they feel quite happy.

The difference in Manchester United's situation is that the opponents of Wolfsburg players have already felt a little pity for them. Since the last time the two teams played against each other, Manchester United has been clamoring for a coaching change. The second time is now in December, 15 rounds of the Premier League have passed, and this voice is getting louder and louder. Manchester United, like Wolfsburg, was also the defending champion last season. Although Wolfsburg is not good now, it is still in the top four Champions League. However, Manchester United is now ranked ninth in the league, and the results are still poor. Shocking.

At the beginning of the season, if the coaching change was just an excuse for poor results, then after so long, the results are still not good, then it is a big problem.

When Ferguson coached Manchester United, apart from the fact that the team's performance was not very good in the few years he had just taken over, his team's performance, at its worst, was also in the top three of the league. Manchester United fans have become accustomed to their team having the most stable results in the entire league. Even if they are underestimated, they also believe that their team should at least have the Champions League to play.

Of course, the change of coaches will bring turmoil, which is something everyone knows, but under the influence of years of commercialization and the continuous accumulation of Manchester United, Manchester United has long been different from what it used to be. No matter whether it is the lineup or the funds, they are not. It should be a mid-range team, even if it is turbulent, but the way it looks now is still too much. Especially looking at this season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and other old enemies have played very well, Liverpool even shouted out the slogan of wanting to win the championship, Manchester United fans feel even more painful.

Ferguson worked hard all his life to pull Liverpool off the throne. If he just retired for a season, Liverpool would go back again, that would be a real joke.

In this case, Moyes was also under pressure. For him, Manchester United is still the last Champions League result that can be seen, and it is the last straw. If his team did not play well enough in the league, but got good enough results in the Champions League, at least he can calm the anger of the fans, and for this purpose, he also spent money in this game. Tried my best.

Manchester United lost only one goal to Wolfsburg in the group, so they also attach great importance to Wolfsburg. In this away game, Manchester United can be described as the elite, wanting to play this game with all their strength.

In this game, Manchester United's goal position is still De Gea goalkeeper, above the back line, Rafael, Evans, Smallin and Evra acted as the defensive starters. After being eaten raw by Gao Shunyao at Wolfsburg last game~www.ltnovel.com~Moyes also understood that for an aggressive team, some strong young people are needed, so this game also does it. After the adjustment, not only the defender line was replaced, but also the midfield line. Manchester United did not use Carrick again this time. In order to deal with Wolfsburg, they let Phil Jones and Fellaini serve as the midfielder together, wanting to lean on. Their muscles blocked the attack of Wolfsburg.

Of course, defending in the backcourt cannot bring victory. To win, you have to rely on the frontcourt to attack. Moyes is also very aware of this. In this game, he also made adjustments on the frontcourt. On the left is veteran Giggs, on the right is Valencia, and on the middle, he uses Kagawa Shinji wanted to create some opportunities by relying on his familiarity with Wolfsburg.

And in the end, in this game, Manchester United's top is Rooney. In the previous game, Van Persie has suffered injuries due to overuse. Although he seems to be better recently, he still sits on the bench. In this game, Manchester United also pinned their hopes on their top star in England, hoping that he can bring Manchester United a vital victory.

However, if Manchester United can really achieve what they want, they will not have the current results. If Rooney can really gallop on the Wolfsburg Stadium, Manchester United will not be ranked ninth in the league. Although Rooney was placed high hopes by Manchester United, he disappointed immediately after the start of the game. (To be continued)
