Section 316 Group First
Persistence will lead to miracles - Gao Shunyao has long understood this truth. In fact, not only in the league, but also in the national team competition, he has to constantly convince himself that maybe a miracle will happen in order to persevere.
After losing to Bayer Leverkusen, Gao Shunyao ushered in the national team again. After the two defeats, it was immediately the national team game, which also made Gao Shunyao have a different view of the national team game, and his mood was not very high during this trip to the national team.
Hurriedly gone, hurried back, Gao Shunyao went to play in the national team this time, and after playing, he quickly returned to the team.
"Your national team game is over? Win? ”
When he returned to the team, Mandzukic, who greeted him, asked casually, Gao Shunyao also nodded, he was still grateful for the care of his teammates.
The national team's competition is not what Gao Shunyao is most worried about these days. In this national team game, the Chinese team only encountered Lebanon, the weakest team in the group, and it was not happy to win in the face of such a team.
Playing with such an opponent, Coach Gao can now be regarded as grasping the point. He also ignored what he had said before that the national football team was going to play beautiful football, and he gave up the requirement of passing the ball on the ground, but blindly used high-altitude balls and more dense set-pieces to ask the players to tear the opponent directly.
Such a tactical formulation made Gao Shunyao play very comfortably. His size ensures that he has too much advantage in the field to fight for headers, and with Mandzukic at Wolfsburg for a long time, he knows exactly how to help his team-mates grab headers, a 4-1 game. He only played 50 minutes and scored a goal. However, he relied on his own rush to create enough opportunities for his teammates. The team was guaranteed the victory.
It's just that what made him not very happy was that while the Chinese team won this game, Iran also won. In the competition with Iran, the Chinese team is still at a disadvantage, and if this competition wants to win, I am afraid that it still needs a new victory. However, in the next game, the Chinese team will face Japan at home. This opponent is the real rival, maybe the Chinese team's score will be pulled away by the Iranian team again.
I want to go to the World Cup. The task is still very heavy. If he defeats the Japanese team, Gao Shunyao has no confidence in his heart. These things made him feel extremely troubled.
"The national team game is fine, it's not a big deal. Asian teams basically don't have strong opponents, just play casually. ”
It's just these thoughts, Gao Shunyao naturally won't talk to his teammates in the club, and he can solve the affairs of his national team by himself. In the club, it is enough to worry about the team's win or loss.
Because of the national team competition. Wolfsburg had a short break on the club's side, but because Wolfsburg had a European mission, they would also play earlier than other clubs. Eight days after the national team match. Gao Shunyao is also going to Ukraine with the team to play the fifth Champions League group stage.
Wolfsburg has now qualified from the group ahead of the group, and the game is naturally much easier. Just that being said. However, the Wolfsburg players also know that they still have to fight for the top spot in the group stage - four teams in the Bundesliga this year. Played very well in the Champions League. In addition to Wolfsburg, the other three Bundesliga teams are also firmly at the top of their respective group standings. If it really goes on like this. They all qualified first in the group, Wolfsburg made a second place in the group, not to mention losing face, and the game will suddenly become very scary.
According to the principle of avoidance of the same country, if Wolfsburg are second in the group, they need to avoid three teams in the Bundesliga, then there are only five opponents left to choose from. Among these five opponents, the strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona is too strong, and the Wolfsburg players are really reluctant to touch it. The odds of a two-in-five draw are ridiculously high, and no one wants to meet such a terrifying team in advance, win the group, and try to avoid them, which can always increase their chances of surviving in the Champions League.
Therefore, this game still needs to be carefully prepared. However, the Wolfsburg players are also well aware that this is not a good game to play - Shakhtar Donetsk have played badly in the previous games, and they are holding their breath now to win a game anyway. Back at home, their group of Brazilian players can be terribly formidable.
In contrast, Wolfsburg's side is a bit more problematic. Ruth's injury made Wolfsburg's defense much worse, and the combination of Kjaer and Naldo was not very reliable, which also made Wolfsburg sweat from top to bottom.
Faced with such a situation, Magath also directly made the simplest and most correct choice: he replaced Shahin, asked Makoto Hasebe and Matic to start, so as to defend with all his strength and not concede the ball.
As long as they don't concede a goal and play to a draw, Wolfsburg can still guarantee that their score is 11 points. The final game will be against Arsenal, who are likely to equalise their scores, but a return to play at home is always more hopeful than playing away against Shakhtar.
Magath's tactics allowed the Wolfsburg players to shrink almost all of them into their own half after they came on the pitch. Shakhtar, on the other hand, have also started the offensive on the first game, this is their home stadium, they are fed up with the draw, and they want to get a well-deserved victory here.
Their offensive was blocked outside the penalty area by Wolfsburg's stubborn defense, and almost all members of Wolfsburg were involved in the defense, and even Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic were also responsible for harassing the opponent's backcourt players in front of them and preventing the opponent from attacking calmly.
The task itself is not particularly heavy, but for a good team like Wolfsburg, even if it is a harassment task, it is impossible for their forwards not to want to attack.
Harassing counter-tackles doesn't seem like much point, but if you can get the ball down, it's a whole difference. Both of Wolfsburg's strikers know this, and they are always on the pitch and looking for opportunities.
Shakhtar's attack was fierce, and for the first 20 minutes, they almost kept attacking the Wolfsburg defence, repeatedly impacting, and even allowed Hasebe to get a yellow card at the beginning. However, their impact was too great, which also exposed a lot of problems in their midfield. Fernardinho, who was originally in charge of defense, has struggled to juggle defense because he has rushed all the way.
And that gave Wolfsburg the chance – on a Shakhtar pass, Mandzukic lunged up to him, he got ahead of the Shakhtars, and kicked the ball forward!
He used a lot of force because he knew he didn't need to catch up. When he kicked the ball forward, Gao Shunyao had already rushed over. He caught up with the football, flicked the ball at his feet and found the right direction, sprinting all the way into the box in front of the left.
The football came suddenly, and Gao Shunyao rushed very quickly. It's just that his impact speed is a little faster, so that the control of the football under his feet is not particularly secure, which also gives the defenders who rushed up to defend next to him a chance to break the ball. He followed from Gao Shunyao's right side, and his empty run was of course faster than Gao Shunyao's dribbling speed, and after following up, he rushed directly from Gao Shunyao's right side with a tackle, trying to destroy the attack.
His defense was quite threatening, but fortunately, Gao Shunyao still noticed him in time. He reached out with a kick and hit the ball on top of the ball, flicking it backwards to dodge the tackle. Although this pull ball stopped his impact, and his body staggered slightly, he still did a very beautiful job of dodging this kick.
However, Gao Shunyao did not rejoice in his escape at this time, because after a hook back ball, his shooting line was also completely blocked by the defender of the opponent's tackle. His impact had been stopped by a tackle and he couldn't get enough lines to shoot, so he could just flick the ball to the right and try to find another chance in the box.
Gao Shunyao is a high-school striker, his impact is strong enough, but his ball control skills at his feet are definitely not delicate. Finding opportunities with the ball in the penalty area like this is definitely not his forte, just when he dribbled the ball to the right to find the angle of the shot, he had slowed down and wasted a lot of time, and the other defender of the opposing side had already returned to the penalty area, sideways in front of him.
Technically, Gao Shunyao is still not able to play particularly handy.
But at this time, Gao Shunyao thought of a good way. In the face of the defenders who rushed back to the defense, he stopped the ball with one kick and raised his foot to prepare to shoot. Of course, the opponent's defender would not give him this opportunity, and immediately wanted to grab it, but at this time, Gao Shunyao once again flicked the ball with his foot, and the whole person took another step towards the right!
In the penalty area, he did not shoot immediately, but after getting rid of the opponent for the first time, he did another escape maneuver, and threw off two opponents in a row in the penalty area!
Hardly anyone thought of this pass, even Gao Shunyao himself didn't expect that his impact could become such a pass in the forbidden area. Passing two people in a row, such a thing is simply too rare for him, and even he doesn't believe it very much.
He didn't realize how much his consciousness had improved during this period of continuous competition.
But he just did it. The ball under his feet did not rely on any delicate technique, but on his own awareness, and got rid of two opponents. And after getting rid of it in a row, he did find a good opportunity - this kick has already made the opposing goalkeeper stunned, which is the best opportunity for the shooter.
Swing your legs and shoot!
Gao Shunyao's shot rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper's knock was a step slower, the football was already rolling in the middle of the goal, the score was 1-0, in the away game, Wolfsburg took the lead, this game, they did not give Donetsk a chance to fight back, Gao Shunyao's goal led them to the top of the group, one step closer.
