The top four teams in the Wolfsburg, Bremen and Schalke 04 all lost in this round of the league, so after this round of the league, the top four positions in the Bundesliga table have not changed, Bayern Munich leads the Bundesliga with 43 points, Wolfsburg is second with 41 points, Bremen is in third place with 40 points, and Schalke 04 is tied for fourth place with Bayer Leverkusen with 35 points.

In addition, the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2007/2008 UEFA Cup has been announced, and Wolfsburg's opponents on the way to the quarter-finals are also from the Bundesliga, so it is a Bundesliga civil war.

The first leg of the UEFA Cup against Hamburg is coming up next week, with Wolfsburg hosting Hamburg in a crucial fit for Wolfsburg to take a step forward in European competition.

Magath is now a little upset, and the notebook in front of him has written down Wolfsburg's opponents in the last few games to come.

On March 2, 2008, in the 22nd round of the league, Wolfsburg away vs Karlsruhe;

March 6, 2008, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, Wolfsburg at home vs Hamburg;

March 8, 2008, the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg home vs Cottage Bus;

On March 12, 2008, the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, Wolfsburg away vs Hamburg

Wolfsburg has four games in the next two weeks, that is, two games in a week, such a dense competition, for a team like Wolfsburg who is not strong enough bench depth, it should be said that it is extremely stressful.

Magath now faces the question of whether the league and UEFA Cup will go hand in hand, or will there be a temporary adjustment that leans towards 'sex'?

In addition, the senior management of the Wolfsburg club is also very excited after the team swept Galatasere 8-0, and they are also looking forward to Wolfsburg's good results in Europe, especially Wolfsburg's sponsor Volkswagen, which also began to value Wolfsburg's achievements in Europe, thinking that this is also very helpful for the promotion of the Volkswagen brand.

In addition, Wolfsburg's opponent in the League Cup this time is the Hamburg team, which is also a Bundesliga team, and the Hamburg team is an old strong team in the Bundesliga. How do you show your strength? Naturally, you will eliminate your opponents.

Naturally, Wolfsburg can't give up on the league, after all, finishing in the top three of the league is the team's goal for the season, but when it is considered to be a league opponent with a great chance of winning, it is still possible to choose a 'sex' rotation.

So, considering next week's UEFA Cup match against Hamburg and the 22nd round of the league against Karlsruhe, Magath has taken a certain rotation. Or it can also be said that Magath was also affected by an unexpected factor at the beginning, so he made up his mind to rotate.

※※※※※※※

On the training ground, Magath ran over and asked the team doctor, "How's it going?"

In today's training, Yang Fan was not in good shape, and during the training break, Yang Fan took the initiative to find the team doctor. Seeing this scene, Magath couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly came over to ask.

"It's not a big deal, it's mainly muscle fatigue. The team doctor replied.

Hearing the team doctor say this, Magath breathed a sigh of relief, however, this also made him vigilant, Yang Fan is the absolute core of Wolfsburg, almost every game starts, if there is no accident, will play the whole game, and Wolfsburg's double-line battle, in such a dense event situation, physical fatigue is certain, athletes are easy to get injured under physical fatigue.

"You don't train today, Yang. Go home and get some rest. Magath said.

"Coach, there's nothing wrong with me, I think I can still hold on... ，

"No, Yang, your body is tired, it's easy to get injured in such a situation, in that case it's bad, go back, I won't let you participate in training"

Magath showed his strength at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked Yang Fan's words.

"Tomorrow is the game against Karlsruhe, and if I don't participate in joint training, it will affect the performance. Yang Fan found a reason for himself.

Magath was 'made' happy by Yang Fan, it should be said that Magath is a very strict coach, he is also known for a lot of training, many players he has coached have complained about too much training, there are quite a few complaints about this, some players once injured, are eager to rest for a few more days, like Yang Fan, he asked him to rest, but he insisted on training the player is the first time to meet it.

"I said, go back and rest. Magath said, "Tomorrow's game against Karlsruhe—" Magath thought for a moment and said, "Don't participate in tomorrow's game." ’

"Huh?" Yang Fan was stunned. Not letting him play, this is definitely worse than killing Yang Fan. He is hungry to play, to score goals, to play away and to score goals, to win the feeling!

Magat waved his hand and motioned for Yang Fan to hurry back and rest, "Go back quickly." ”

"Coach, I can go back and rest, but I still have to play tomorrow. Yang Fan said anxiously.

"I said, tomorrow you rest. ”

"I'm fine, not at all. When he said this, Yang Fan winked at the team doctor, who looked funny, but just shrugged his shoulders, meaning that he couldn't do anything.

"But, this game—"

"Yang, do you think the team can't win without you?" Magath said sternly. Seeing that Yang Fan was disobedient, Magat was also a little annoyed, he was thinking, was he too indulgent to Yang Fan?

Yang Fan wanted to say, that's it, at least, if I have it, I will definitely have a greater chance of winning, but he can't say it, he is not stupid, if he says this, he will offend too many teammates.

"I didn't mean that. Yang Fan said helplessly.

"Then go back and rest and watch your team-mates win in the stands tomorrow. "Rest well and get ready for next week's game against Hamburg." ”

"Oh well. Yang Fan could only nod helplessly and said.

"Rest well. Magath smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "You have to trust your teammates." Go ahead, go back and rest. ”

In the game with Karlsruhe, the commentator was surprised to find that Yang Fan, who had started every game in recent times and was almost full-time, did not start, not only was he not in the starting list, but even Yang Fan did not appear in the team's squad.

Where did Yang Fan go? What happened? I didn't hear that he was injured.

Soon, the director saw Yang Fan in the stands. This is to let Yang Fan rest and prepare for the League Cup match with Hamburg with all his might?!

Soon, people looked at Wolfsburg's starting list, and soon found that not only Yang Fan was resting, but also Boateng, Marin, and Dzeko and other main players were resting.

After Magath decided to let Yang Fan take a turn, considering that Yang Fan was tired, he asked the team doctor to conduct a check on the players of the whole team, and found that many players were also fatigued.

In the back line, Magath did not make any changes, in the midfield, Magath sent the lineup of 'Mont' Taianu, Santana, Marcelinho, Gentena, and in the forward line, Lewandowski and Radu became today's starting partners.

Although there are a lot of main players in rotation, Wolfsburg's midfield lineup can be regarded as a decent strength in the Bundesliga, so Magath still has some confidence in winning Karlsruhe at home.

However, he still overestimated the strength of the team's rotation and underestimated the strength of Karlsruhe, as a result, Wolfsburg, who rotated some of the main players, lost 0-1 at home to Karlsruhe.

The good news is that Schalke 04 lost 0-1 at home to Bayern Munich, so the difference between Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 is still six points, and the difference is not close by Schalke 04.

The bad news is that Werder Bremen, who were behind Wolfsburg, beat Borussia Dort 2-0 at home in this round of the league, and they surpassed Wolfsburg in second place in the league.

Originally, Magath's intention was to give important players a break in this game and win something in the UEFA Cup without affecting the league goal, but he didn't expect it to be planted in Karlsruhe.

It can also be seen from this that the impact of the two-front battle on Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg played European for the first time, lacked European experience and preparation, if it was not for the UEFA Cup match, the main force to Karlsruhe was sent to play, and it would definitely be able to blow Karlsruhe at home......

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan and Dzeko and others sat in the stands of the stadium and witnessed the team suffer a depressed defeat at home, especially after learning that Schalke 04 had lost after the game, they once again missed the opportunity to pull away and Schalke 04 behind them, and they were all depressed.

But with rotation being a manager's decision, what can they say as players?

On the contrary, the media after the game made a lot of criticism of Magath's rotation in this game, they believed that the current Wolfsburg did not have the strength of rotation at all, especially that no one in the rotation could rotate Yang Fan.

Four days later, Volkswagen Arena Wolfsburg.

The first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals between Wolfsburg and Hamburg.

Eighty-one minutes into the game, the whole stadium erupted in loud cheers.

“zeeeeeeeeeeeee！！’

"The ball is in! 1-0! Wolfsburg finally broke through Hamburg's goal, and they finally smashed Hamburg's shield with great difficulty! Yang Fan! Yang Fan! At the critical moment, the Chinese 'shooter' stood up again! 1-0! Wolfsburg took the lead!"

In this game, the tactics of Hamburg, who are playing away, are clear, that is, to defend to the death, they have no hope of winning, and they are satisfied to be able to take away a draw from Wolfsburg. As a result, Wolfsburg dominated the entire game, but they didn't have much of a good chance to score in the face of Hamburg's retrenched defence.

Finally, eighty-one minutes into the game, taking advantage of a set-piece opportunity, Yang Fan stabbed the 'shot' and broke the 'goal' in the 'chaos' battle in front of the 'goal' and scored a golden goal.

After the goal, Yang Fan was unusually excited, he rushed to the side of the stands, took off his jersey while running, and shouted loudly in his mouth, this week, he and the whole team were too depressed, the team's two consecutive defeats in the league made the whole team depressed, and if this game still can't be won, the whole team is likely to be in trouble in the face of this huge pressure.

It was a big goal.
