When playing against strong teams, a turtle formation can sometimes have some unexpected effect and win the game. But if your team doesn't have a good enough offensive counter-attacking ability, sometimes, it means that the team basically loses all offensive ability. Hannover is now facing such a problem, they want to put on a rigid formation and Wolfsburg to wear it out, but they never thought that Wolfsburg still has a chance to break through their gates. And when their gate was breached, they were depressed to find that it seemed that it was not particularly easy for them to fight back.

Last season's Wolfsburg defensive counterattack tactics played well, but it was based on their two offensive fullbacks on the wing, and two center forwards on the front court as fulcrums, and compared to Wolfsburg, Hannover's counterattack ability is obviously much worse, the team is behind, but they have no ability to make any counterattacks.

They wanted to call for a draw, but in the end they still couldn't get the result they wanted, thanks to Mandzukic's barbed goal, Wolfsburg won 1-0 on their season debut against Hannover.

The debut victory undoubtedly made Wolfsburg fans breathe a sigh of relief. However, despite the victory over Hannover, the score of 1-0 is indeed not a cause for gratification. Compared to this result, they are looking forward to a more beautiful victory.

And the wishes of Wolfsburg fans were soon fulfilled. In the next home game against Mainz, Wolfsburg played a completely different game.

Since the start of last season, Wolvesburg have played far better at home than on the road. This season. They have clearly continued the characteristics of the previous two seasons as well. Wolfsburg, which is fighting at home, is obviously not worried about the opponent's strict defense. They started with a crazy attack right after the game, and that's the way they played. It also allowed them to score goals very quickly.

The first goal of the game was scored by Turan. After a Wolfsburg free-kick from long distance, Shaheen took the free-kick. Turan, who got the ball on the edge of the penalty area, flashed the opponent's defense with a dangling kick and then knocked on the opponent's door with a direct shot. Fighting at home, Wolfsburg's situation is obviously different, and they are quite skillful in various tactics.

This one ball is just the beginning. Soon. A wing attack from Wolfsburg worked again. This time, Turan took a step towards the right after receiving a pass from Rong on the right flank. Then he kicked the ball back and gave the ball to Yung, who cut into midfield. Rong's cross was transferred and the ball was sent to the feet of Shahin, who directly chose a shot, although his shot was blocked by the opponent's defender, but Gao Shunyao found an opportunity in the penalty area. He grabbed the ball just in time. Then a follow-up shot doubled the lead for Wolfsburg.

After 2-0, the Wolfsburg attack did not stop. Soon, a cross from the wing led to Mandzukic opening the scoring again. And that's not the final result. In a corner, Wolfsburg defender Kjaer managed to kick the ball to the opposition player in the confusion and create an own goal. Let the score of the game also become 4-

A big win. Wolfsburg seemed to announce to the whole league that the first game was not played well. It was just an accident. The embarrassment of the first game seems to have disappeared with this victory. The 4-0 victory, the first home game won a big victory, and the team's mood was also a lot higher. With a high sense of euphoria, Wolfsburg also ushered in its third game. This time, they went away to challenge Schalke 04.

Schalke 04 is an opponent who really has nothing to look out for in Wolfsburg. Over the course of a summer, if there's one of the Bundesliga's powerhouses that has changed the most, it's them.

At the beginning of the year, Schalke had to change the position of head coach because of their poor results. However, the change of manager did not make their situation any better, and in the end, Schalke still fell out of the top four and only qualified for one Europa League competition. Such a result is naturally not enough for a team like Schalke that is considered a strong team in the Bundesliga, especially when he saw that his next-door neighbor actually reached the Champions League final, which made Schalke fans complain.

However, even so, Schalke miraculously did not change the head coach this summer - perhaps because there are not many coaches who can make them look good, or perhaps because they believe that they can play better, Schalke chose to keep the original coaching squad and continue to fight for the new season. This decision made the entire Bundesliga laugh, what is Keller's level, the entire Bundesliga basically knows everything, let him coach, how can the team play well?

Wolfsburg also had this in mind when they went to play away from home. Schalke are no match they can afford to look at and will be hoping for a good away win.

Sometimes, however, things can backfire, and Wolfsburg were expecting a victory, but they were greeted with a game that was almost as strange as last season's game against Bayern Munich.

In this game, Schalke's arrangement did not arouse the alarm of Wolfsburg. They were now afraid of defending the enemy, but Schalke seemed to want to fight them, which made Wolfsburg a little careless. But apparently, they ignored Schalke's attacking prowess and Schalke knocked on the door of Wolfsburg with a beautiful attack almost as soon as the game began.

This summer, Schalke has indeed weakened a lot compared to before, and they did not win in the first two rounds, and they played quite badly. But Keller, the coach, always seems to have a rather weird temperament. Schalke was also an underdog against a weak team, but in the face of strong opponents, his team seemed to be promoted to a strong team in an instant.

Their goal can be described as completely bizarre. This offensive cannot even be said to be based on tactics at all. Schalke once got the ball at the back, Atsushi Uchida took the ball and rushed straight up the wing.

It is not a mockery to say that Schalke's attack has no tactics, although their players are good, but many tactics are not too well polished, and they are a little careless. Atsushi Uchida's breakthrough was immediately besieged by Wolf Castle, and there was no way to continue the attack. However, Atsuto Uchida, who was besieged, may have been blessed, and when he was forced to rob, he pushed straight and gave the ball to Farfan in front. Farfan, who got the ball, also faced a siege, and in desperation, he passed directly to the penalty area, hoping to create an attack.

His approach was completely blindfolding, but this blindness had an unimaginable effect. Huntelaar up front showed his nose for dominating the Bundesliga, and before the Wolfsburg defenders could react, he got away with ease and smashed a ball into the back of the net with a header.

Schalke unexpectedly took the lead in the race. And such an advantage also made the players of Wolfsburg a little unable to hold back and began to counterattack. However, before Wolfsburg's counterattack worked, Schalke's attack triumphed again. This time, it was Atsuto Uchida who attacked Schalke, but this time he opted for a long diagonal pass and sent the ball to the left wing. On the left flank, starting Drexler received the ball and took a few steps forward with it, just on the edge of the box, and fired a long-range shot past Wolfsburg.

Schalke scored two goals in just five minutes, which put away Wolfsburg's original contempt. However, at this time, it was a little too late to notice the strength of the enemy. Keller also saw his team's incredible results, and in this case, he did not have the idea of letting the team do further pursuit, but decisively chose to let the team defend all the way, relying on the two-goal advantage to fight Wolfsburg in a war of attrition.

His approach is undoubtedly the most correct choice, with a two-ball advantage in hand, if the turtle can't get out, no matter how strong Wolf Castle is, there is nothing to be done. Although Wolfsburg also increased their threat from the air and long-range shots in the face of this situation, they did not make any effective attacks until the end.

A 0-2 game, in the third game of the league, Wolfsburg lost to Schalke in an upset. Schalke made Wolfsburg snicker last season by holding Bayern to a strong draw, and this season, they have also been counterattacked by Schalke.

In the league, Keller once again proved that he is good at playing against strong teams, and Wolfsburg has become a footnote to his success.

This game also made Gao Shunyao very depressed. He himself failed to score a goal, which also made him blame himself. They suffered a defeat in their third league game and they clearly haven't played well enough this season. This made Gao Shunyao hate himself even more because he was not in shape, Schalke is obviously not last year's Schalke, and their current level is completely a group of weak chickens. It's really a frustrating thing for my own team to not be able to win them.

At this time, the only thing that made him a little happy was that the schedule of Wolfsburg was quite good. For the whole of August, they have only 31 days left against Hertha Berlin, and after that, the fifth round of the Bundesliga will not be played until September 14. With such a long period of rest, Wolfsburg was enough to recover some form, and by that time, facing Bayer Leverkusen, Gao Shunyao was sure that he could play well.

And, ahead of the fourth round, Wolfsburg will have another piece of good news. At the draw on 30 August, they will also need to know who they will face in the Champions League.

It's their second Champions League and they hope this time it's a little bit different from the last time. (To be continued.) )
