When the news of Mandzukic's injury in the national team game came back to Wolfsburg, Gao Shunyao's first reaction was to not believe it and not want to believe it. His physical condition is getting better day by day, and in the next game, his confidence is getting stronger and stronger, but at this time, Mandzukic is injured and needs to be injured in the next game, which makes Gao Shunyao feel that this is like a malicious joke.

During this time, his form was not good enough, and it was Mandzukic who supported the team in the team. As the team's main centre-forward, his form in the previous games can be said to be quite good. Whether it's scoring goals himself or helping his teammates organise attacks, Mandzukic does his job really well. He looks in excellent form, how could he suddenly get injured?

As soon as he heard the news, Gao Shunyao refused to believe it no matter what. However, when the news was confirmed, and after he called Mandzukic himself, he had to believe it.

Mandzukic is really injured and he suffered injuries during the international game. And when you think about it, it doesn't seem like a particularly surprising thing.

As the main center of Wolfsburg, Mandzukic played games last season, and he has always been no less than Gao Shunyao, the two of them have been playing together, and even sometimes Gao Shunyao will be replaced, and Mandzukic will insist on the court, and his playing time is even longer than Gao Shunyao.

As a team that didn't get close to each other on the three-day front, it was basically a miracle that Wolfsburg basically relied on a set of main lineups last season, and Magath's devilish training gave them plenty of stamina. But it still can't turn them from humans into robots. People will get tired, Gao Shunyao is like this. The same goes for Mandzukic.

To talk about the level of fatigue during this time, Mandzukic is no worse than Gao Shunyao. Gao Shunyao has fatigue accumulation here. He would have this problem too. The only thing he is better than Gao Shunyao is that in June, he only played a national team match on June 8, and did not play the game until June 18, which is a few more days of rest and recovery than Gao Shunyao.

Perhaps because of a few days of rest, or perhaps because he has a higher football IQ and more experience, Mandzukic has at least not shown any fatigue since the start of the new season. Or maybe I've had concerns about it. He still plays quite the court, and when Gao Shunyao is not in good shape, he takes the initiative to shoulder more of the role of organizing the attack and taking on the responsibility of coolies.

Last season, Wolfsburg's attack was almost entirely from the left wing. Gao Shunyao worked as a coolie for a long time, and Mandzukic shouldered the role of finishing goals. And this season, most of Wolfsburg's offense was launched on the right side, and Gao Shunyao was not in good shape, so Mandzukic ran to do coolies on his own. Instead, he let Gao Shunyao stay in front to finish the goal, and also took the initiative to feed him the ball - he played harder than last season during this time, in a sense. It's also harder, and the consumption is more intense.

And greater consumption means faster fatigue accumulation. Inside these days. Mandzukic is also very tired.

In this world, no one is made of steel. No matter how good a player is, he will have problems under the constant accumulation of fatigue. Otherwise, it's not human. After Gao Shunyao accumulated fatigue, he began to become in a bad state. Although he was worried that his performance was not as good as before, Mandzukic was clearly more problematic in comparison to the problems that Mandzukic showed after the accumulation of fatigue.

His accumulation of fatigue did not weaken his form, on the contrary, they turned into injury problems, and Mandzukic usually relied on his mind to carefully hide his fatigue when he played, but in the crucial moments, they all exploded in one fell swoop.

And the key moment for Mandzukic is obviously the national team game. It is only in this kind of game that he will have such trouble.

There are many differences between national team competitions and club competitions in many places. Compared with club games and national team games, the team sometimes pays less attention to the use of players, and some of their tactics wear and tear on the players. After all, they don't need to be responsible for the player's career, they can't care about the decline in the value of the player, plus the national team is scattered and needs to rest for a long time, which has a much smaller impact on the national team, so many national teams use players quite excessively.

These issues are one of the major problems that the national team has been involved with the club for a long time, and the two have been arguing over the use of players for a long time. Speaking of which, Bayern is such an old victim. Ten years later, the quarrel between them and the Dutch Football Association was quite serious. And feng shui takes turns, and this time, Wolfsburg also became a victim.

National teams and clubs, when it comes to the use of players, can be said to be natural enemies. Sadly, although the club is doing this for the good of the players, the players themselves are not very grateful to the club. When the players play for the national team, they work harder than they do at the club. In the club, they can still ask for rotation when they are not in good shape, but in the national team, the players are more reluctant to admit that they are not in good shape, and the majority of those who insist on playing are in the majority.

A lot of people see the national team game as much more important than the club game, and they do their best in a game like this. In the history of football, there are some players who have spent their club games in chaos and the national team games have begun to break out, and there are many players like Brazil, and even in Europe, there is no shortage of patriotic heroes Vieira who will be injured as soon as he arrives at the club, and the national team will inevitably recover from his injuries on the day of the national team's matches.

Of course, Mandzukic hasn't gotten that far, he's a man with a strong work ethic and doesn't neglect the club for the sake of the national team, but he can't muster up the courage to say no to the national team, even if it's a friendly game, he doesn't want to say no. And this is where his misfortune comes from, this time he was injured, so to speak, because of the overuse of the national team.

After the qualifier against Serbia on September 7, Mandzukic had no need to play again. After all, their match against South Korea on 9-10 was just a friendly match, and it didn't matter if the team won or lost, it was more about training the players. Originally, he was indeed not selected to start, but sat on the bench and watched the game.

However, in the game, Croatia's situation was not good. They were slow to score against South Korea. Until the end of the first half, and even more than ten minutes into the second half, the score between the two sides was still 0-0. As a European player, Croatia had a hard time accepting that their team would be forced to score 0-0 by South Korea, and in this case, they brought on Mandzukic.

It was just 30 minutes of play, and against a tired South Korean, which was not a big deal for Croatia. However, their decision is obviously extremely wrong.

After Mandzukic came on the pitch, Croatia's situation did improve after he arrived. After all, bringing in a strong centre-forward after 60 minutes to attack the back line is a tactic that is largely inexplicable when used by European teams against Asian teams. In the 63rd and 65th minutes, Croatia scored two goals in a row and quickly established their advantage.

However, perhaps because the attack was too smooth, the Croatian players did not stop there, on the contrary, they continued to wreak havoc and wanted to continue to score. In an attack, after Mandzukic got the ball, he rushed towards the box with the ball, and also wanted to break through and score another goal.

If he played against other strong teams, he probably wouldn't be so arrogant, but South Korea's strength was not strong, but he let him play like this once. But this breakthrough also caused problems, on his side, the South Korean defender, who could not defend well, chose to make a tackle directly, and Mandzukic, who was in high-speed movement, usually had muscle control as usual due to fatigue, and the problem of muscle control was also manifested at this time. This tackle, he couldn't avoid it.

A shovel was broken and kicked right on the top of his foot. He fell to the ground on the spot and was unable to kick again. The impact of fatigue still broke out on his body, in a different way than Gao Shunyao, but the consequences seemed to be more serious.

Of course, this wasn't too much of a bad thing for Croatia, at least they were awarded a penalty to make it 3 – but for Wolfsburg, the next trouble was theirs. Because Mandzukic also needs to recuperate from injuries in the next games.

"Two months, he needs two months off. I always feel that the more advanced our science is, the weaker the players' bodies become, and they will be injured for a month at every turn. ”

Mandzukic's injury test results are coming out soon. A fracture of the fifth metatarsal is not a very serious injury for a player. After the operation, he was able to recover in two months, but Magath still complained about the result.

His complaints, as a player, Gao Shunyao, is extremely disagreeable, the kind of thing that plays on closed games at every turn, which leads to the deterioration of the injury, at least Gao Shunyao himself doesn't want to try - if it is the World Cup or the Champions League final, you can still try some, but for other games, there is really no need to gamble for a lifetime.

Now, for example, he doesn't see the need for Mandzukic to gamble. Although he is now injured and out for two months at once, it will greatly affect the team's game, but it is not something to worry about too much.

Some time ago, because of his care, Gao Shunyao's state has gradually recovered. And now that he needs to rest, it's time for Gao Shunyao to repay him and lead the team forward.

Now, he's the backbone of the team. (To be continued.) )
