190 adversity

On November 5, Freiburg ushered in the tenth round of the Bundesliga, hosting Wolfsburg.

Despite the previous dismal record, the German coach Heijin stepped down and left many famous players such as Kreuzer, Dost, and Schurrle, but there are still powerful players such as Gomez, Gustavo, and Benaglio in the team, and the young striker Mayoral is also loaned from Real Madrid.

As the engine of Freiburg's attack, Sunset was closely guarded by Wolfsburg, and the key guard was former Brazilian national team main defender Gustavo.

In addition to Gustavo, the others in charge of assisting him in restraining him were Traesch and Kuba. In particular, Kuba, the right winger whose full name is Błaszczykowski, became famous as Dortmund's main right wing-back, and his defensive ability and experience are quite amazing.

The three's cooperative defense not only limited Sunset everywhere in the offense, but also made it difficult for Sunset to retreat and catch the ball, forming a well-developed defensive system that limited Sunset everywhere.

And what worries Freiburg and Sunset the most is that something has happened, and the shameful and courageous Wolfsburg no longer has the laziness of the previous games, but keeps running and fighting the ball at the beginning, and the whole team is unanimously and fully engaged.

Freiburg, who are at the top of the standings, no longer have the qualifications to show weakness, and the pressure exerted by Wolfsburg, who put down their strength to fight Freiburg, is all-round, and it is not the sunset that feels limited everywhere.

In the opening ten minutes, not only did Sunset make the only breakthrough after barely shaking Gustavo and was unable to control the ball in time and was stabbed away by Dutch central defender Brumma, but also only three passes to his feet, which illustrated the scarcity of Freiburg's possession opportunities and the extent to which they were suppressed by Wolfsburg.

Basically after 15 minutes, everyone knew that Freiburg was in trouble like never before.

Wolfsburg's defense of Sunset was not close to the eye at all, and Gustavo only kept a distance of one to two meters normally, and his experience was enough to block when necessary. Wolfsburg mainly suppressed Freiburg's exit points, and Kuba mainly intercepted the passing lanes for Sunset, almost not giving Sunset a chance to receive the ball, and his connection and speed skills could not be used at all.

Unlike other teams that focus on sunset and inevitably weaken the defense in other positions, Wolfsburg did not use a dedicated defender, and the team was very well-rounded, and Philip on the right side also had few chances. Freiburg's attack in the middle has always been a weakness of their team, and Schweinsteiger, Franz and Abrahi were suppressed and busy defending, so naturally the attack was helpless.

Defensively Freiburg were finally seized by Wolfsburg on 41 minutes when their Swiss centre-back Ricardo Rodriguez played a long cross into the box, and the veteran centre-forward Gomes headed it over the crossbar.

The goal was a surprise to everyone, and just as the second boot finally fell to the ground, Freiburg let go and Schweinsteiger led a wave of counter-attacks.

His long pass didn't go to his feet or behind him, but to the 10 meters in front of the penalty area, because Gustavo followed Sunset out to show the open crotch. After noticing that Kuba was blocking the line and forcing the ball to force the ball to require Sunset to use unconventional stopping techniques to catch the ball, and then being easily restricted by Gustavo, Schweinsteiger wanted to try to pass an empty crotch ball to change his thinking. It's not a skillful way of passing between them, but when it comes time to change, Schweinsteiger wants to try the sensitivity of Sunset, who passes the crotch ball every day.

Sunset really knows a lot about this kind of ball, and after glancing at the landing point, she turned and started as soon as possible, shook off Gustavo, and grabbed the position before Brumma, and directly sent the ball sideways to Wagner's head in the penalty area without stopping the ball.

Finally, after waiting for a pass, Wagner pressed Rodriguez to get the ball first, and directly shook his head and smashed it into the near corner.

Unfortunately, the ball eventually hit the post and bounced out, leaving goalkeeper Benaglio, who had largely given up and made no save, to the delight of Philip to save the ball before Philip could make a follow-up shot.

The result also sent the sighs of the Black Forest stadium into a river. But when the game ended, the fans still crowded around the stands and loudly encouraged their players.

Freiburg finally played a few counterattacks in the second half, mostly through this way of finding an empty crotch with long passes, but the success rate of this cooperation is not high, and it requires a very high degree of tacit understanding to pass and run, which can only be said to be better than no way, slightly better than nothing.

In the 62nd minute, Freiburg's veteran, Wolfsburg's left winger Kaligiuri, received Gomez's return pass from the penalty area, bypassed Franz and rushed into the penalty area.

Torrejón felt that he had tried too much, and directly subconsciously stabbed him, and then saw Caligiuri fall to the ground, and then the referee took out a yellow card and rushed to the penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot without hesitation.

The fans suddenly stopped, whether they saw it clearly or not, and accused Kaligiuri, who was born in Freiburg, of faking a fall, and the boos and angry scolding rang out.

But that didn't affect the decision, and Gomez's crosshairs, Freiburg, who were playing at home, were two goals behind.

Ignoring the fans' angry rants at Wolfsburg's celebration, Sunset approached Schweinsteiger and Wagner to discuss the possibility of Wagner and Peterson splitting the ball. Seeing that Wagner didn't want to make a move, he hurriedly said:

"You don't think you're as good as Gomez, are you?"

This sentence immediately aroused Wagner's fighting spirit, and he patted his chest and said that he was fine.

Sunset then stops staying in the cage his opponent has woven for him and begins to wander around Wagner in the mid lane.

Freiburg's midfielders began to play long passes directly to Wagner and Petersen, who then played the ball before splitting the ball or shooting straight at goal.

This seemingly unorganized, unbreakthrough, untechnical counterattack is simple and crude, but it is very effective, and the second attempt makes a difference.

In the 72nd minute, Schweinsteiger grabbed the ball directly from the feet of Caligiuri, who was slightly suspected of fouling, and then sent it directly to Wagner in the middle of the penalty area.

This is the embodiment of the experience of the game, the referee who has just awarded a penalty is usually a little soft, and of course there is also the face of Schweinsteiger, the German football big man and former national team captain, and the referee did make a gesture to continue the game despite Caligiuri's protests.

The accident in front and the protest of Caligiuri still somewhat divided the hearts of the Wolfsburg players, and Wagner successfully grabbed the landing point and threw it to the left side of the penalty area.

Was it behind Bruma who was fighting him for the header, or was it empty, was it a mistake?
