Section 337 Reasons for Victory
In the game against Wolfsburg, Bayern's posture can be said to be low enough. The three backs are placed on the field, making it clear that they want to defend and counterattack, and there are not many people who have enjoyed such treatment in the Bundesliga.
Compared to Bayern's low profile, Wolfsburg's approach looks a bit arrogant. In such a critical game, in the first half of the season, Wolfsburg properly sent Makoto Hasebe to fight the opponent in the midfield. But this time, Wolfsburg didn't do that again, and they used Shaheen in the middle, which also made people feel a little too contemptuous.
The fans were cheering for this approach, but on the field, Bayern's players were very dissatisfied. The key game is so arrogant, does Wolfsburg really treat Bayern as a weak chicken? Looking at the people on the sidelines, Ribery was also thinking about how to teach Wolfsburg some lessons to learn a little better.
As the dominant team in the Bundesliga, although Bayern chose to defend and counterattack this time, their attack was still sharp. The demonstration that Ribery wanted was soon given the opportunity. Not long into the game, when a piggy broke the ball, his pass gave Ribery a chance to make a surprise attack. Along the flanks, Ribery unleashed a surprise attack, and he was so fast that Shaheen barely reacted before he broke through.
Breaking through Shaheen made Ribery quite happy. He is already confident in his breakthrough, especially at the club. With Ram's support behind him, he was not afraid of the defense of Wolfsburg, and replacing Wolfsburg with Shaheen was the biggest mistake.
But on the Wolfsburg side, the defense did not stop. Both Rodriguez and Kjaer moved up the flanks at the same time. Trying to stop Ribery. Rodriguez cut off his inside cut for the first time, and Kjaer also stopped in front of the box. The two of them sealed Ribery on the right side of the road, preventing him from moving closer to the middle.
Such an approach. Ribery has seen a lot, but when Ribery habitually looks for Ram behind him and wants to break through by cooperation, he suddenly finds that Ram has not followed.
Ribery suddenly understood why Wolfsburg had to replace Shaheen in this game.
Wolfsburg played very shrewdly: as a player with strong attacking ability, Shaheen was bound to attract the entanglement of Tony Rose when he came on the field. And once the two of them are tangled in the midfield, then the support from the middle to the wing will be greatly reduced. Lahm is a shrewd player. But a lot of times you need the help of your teammates. Once he loses his support in the middle, his support up front will also be weakened a lot. Like now, he's haunted by Perisic. In order to prevent the opponent from attacking the backfield, Lahm did not dare to insert too much, which is the best proof.
In this way, Ribery's offensive could not be launched. Wolfsburg's wide defence has also been adjusted. Although he can gallop on the side. But he just couldn't cut inside, obviously, Wolfsburg wanted to trap him on the side and prevent him from moving in the middle lane.
Ribery was trapped on the wing, Tonik Rose was able to play in the middle, and Lahm couldn't get forward in the back - Wolfsburg brought on Shaheen, not to attack, but to defend.
Ribery suddenly understood this, but after he did. He couldn't react anymore. He is still in the situation of being forced to rob, helpless. Ribery had no choice but to pass. He kicked the ball towards Di Santo in the middle, causing the ball to move to the middle. The lockdown of Wolfsburg was so tight that he had no choice but to hope for what Di Santo could do.
Getting the ball in the middle, Di Santo was immediately targeted by Naldo, and in the face of the rush of the Wolfsburg defenders, Di Santo kicked the ball towards the goal with some anxiety. However, in his hurry, his shot was not only not good enough, but also had poor power. Benaglio made a direct pounce and pressed the football under his body.
This was the abrupt end of Bayern's attack. Listening to the cheers of the fans around him, Ribery could only sigh that Bayern's center forward was really a little worse.
If you can give Bayern's two center forwards to one, or Bayern's main center Mario Gomez, then this one goal will not be missed. However, if they were really there, Wolfsburg probably wouldn't have arranged this kind of kick that specifically blocked themselves and then released them in the air.
Wolfsburg has obviously also thought about how to play the ball, not only do they not take Bayern lightly, but they have arranged tactics in a very targeted manner.
Ribery stood on the side for a long time, unable to figure out what he was going to do. Because of Shahin's interference, Kroos basically couldn't play a role. The two people also made Ram's support effect greatly weakened. If Robben is here, he can come and work with him, and he can still kill Wolf Castle and abandon his armor, but although Muller is not weak, it is not his forte to break through this kind of thing.
And if there is no one to support, then he is equivalent to being controlled on the side. Tethered himself, Di Santo can't count on the attack in the middle, then Muller is really lonely in the front. And look at the midfield, Javi Martinez is not there, and the ability to insert forward is also a little insufficient, Bayern usually has a lot of attacking methods, but because of this rotation, there is no very good way to attack.
Defensive counterattack is to counterattack after all, if you only defend and don't counterattack, then you can't win. But Bayern just can't fight back now, and it's really depressing.
Fortunately, the league points are three points ahead of Bayern - and Ribery can only console himself with the current situation. Even if this game is really a draw, it is still Wolfsburg who suffers, not Bayern. The three-point gap was enough for Bayern to maintain their advantage and continue to put pressure on Wolfsburg.
Of course, this premise is that Wolfsburg can't break through Bayern's door this time, and everyone ends 0-0. I'm afraid that Wolfsburg is not very happy to see such a situation, but does Wolfsburg have the ability to attack? Ribery was also skeptical about this.
Shaheen's introduction was a good change, and he was able to contain Bayern's attack on the right and in midfield on his own, which was undoubtedly a good practice. However, in order to contain them, Shahin was also nailed to his own position, and he could no longer be inserted at will. Otherwise, Rahm will definitely wait for an opportunity to counterattack, which also makes it difficult for Wolfsburg's offensive to unfold. Bayern was in a stubborn situation in this game, and the defenders in the middle were very hard. Wolfsburg wants to break through Bayern's door, but it will not be easy.
On the pitch, Wolfsburg had possession, they passed back and forth in midfield, and even Mandzukic came back to receive the ball, but there was still no chance to pass forward. Bayern defended very tightly, as a player who was used to attacking from the wings. Bayern defended very well with the combination of the wings and the centre, and they were not afraid of attacking from the wings. And the excellence of the central defenders also makes them not afraid of passing the ball directly in the middle. Neither in the middle nor on the wing. How is Wolfsburg going to attack? I'm afraid that no matter how much I attack, it will be ineffective.
Ribery made this judgment with a hint of pride, but before his thoughts were over, Wolfsburg had already attacked.
Surprisingly. This time it was Shaheen who attacked. And his attack was not a ground pass, but a direct high kick kicked out. Instead of falling towards the middle, his ball flew towards the right!
His pass made Ribery immediately understand Wolfsburg's thoughts: maybe Dante and Van Bitten can watch Wolfsburg's two center forwards, but Wolfsburg's long pass is looking for the wing!
How should Wolfsburg's attack be played? They gave a good answer to this question: maybe Wolfsburg's left wing and Bayern's right wing were abolished, maybe their proud double center forward was targeted by Bayern, but the long ball to find Turan is a very beautiful approach.
The defender on Bayern's side is Alaba. Although his strength is not weak, he is full of talent. But both experience and technology are far inferior to Turan. Wolfsburg has created a strong point in this position, and it only takes one strong point to form an offensive.
With this point, Wolfsburg will be able to attack.
Turan received the ball with ease: Alaba is a good defender, but as Ribery expected, he is not as good as Turan in terms of experience. Easy to get in position, easy to get the ball, Turan made a long pass, and also kicked the football into the box.
The ball flew high and landed in the middle of the penalty area. After the over-the-top pass, the power is greatly enhanced. Gao Shunyao rushed forward and rushed to the landing point of the football with Van Bitten. The two of them jumped almost together, and Gao Shunyao relied on the power brought by his impact to jump a little higher than Van Bitten. However, the confrontation between the two in the air also made Gao Shunyao unable to play the ball well. The ball flew towards the goal, but the angle was clearly not good, and Neuer jumped up and lifted the ball off the crossbar with one hand.
Wolfsburg's attack was good, but Bayern's defense was also excellent. Bayern, who had already made up their minds, had a good defensive system, and the presence of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the biggest obstacle for Wolfsburg to score.
Even if the tactics have gained an advantage, it is not so easy to win. How to break through the opponent's door is also a very big problem.
But standing in front of the goal, seeing that he didn't score, Gao Shunyao was not discouraged at all.
Bayern are indeed strong, and Gao Shunyao admits it. As the boss of the entire Bundesliga and a world-class powerhouse, if it is really a confrontation full of momentum, it will be difficult for Wolfsburg to win, which Gao Shunyao also knows very well.
However, Wolfsburg are not facing a in-form Bayern Munich right now. They are missing four main players, Boateng, Robben, Javi Martinez, and Mario Gomez – and that's because Alaba is playing well, not counting Bad Stuber. No matter how strong a team is, how much strength can be left after missing four absolute main forces? If Wolfsburg can't even clean up Bayern, which has just lost a number of soldiers and just fought with others, then isn't it a complete joke to say that they are winning the championship?
The opponent's remnants, fatigue, conservativeness, so many factors come together, it can be said that it is the weakest time. Wolfsburg sacrificed the Champions League in exchange for a chance to compete with Bayern, which is already a desperate gamble. When he is the strongest, when he is the weakest in the face of the enemy, Wolfsburg can only accept victory, not defeat.
After five years of playing football, Ko has never been so close to a league title as he was this year. For this purpose, he is willing to fight hard with his opponents. Maybe Bayern are strong, but for Wolfsburg it's their final.
Bayern may have 10,000 reasons to win the game, but Gao Shunyao only needs one reason to win: he wants to win, and this is the best reason. (To be continued.) )
