Throughout October, the Wolfsburg games were all very satisfying. Although there was such an unhappy little thing as losing to Schalke, the other games were basically won, and the Wolfsburg players were very happy about it. Win after victory, the confidence and form of the Wolfsburg players are rising, which also gives them more confidence in the next games.

After the victory over Nuremberg, Wolfsburg also ushered in a rematch with Montpellier. This is the fourth game in the Champions League, and Wolfsburg has dealt with it well.

After the away victory over Montpellier, Wolfsburg has basically determined that Montpellier is the weakest team in this group, and after returning to the home stadium, Wolfsburg has also made up its mind to slaughter Montpellier as a fat sheep, so as to get together the Champions League points they need early, so when they faced Montpellier at home, Wolfsburg also made a decision to win this game with an offensive approach.

In this game, Shaheen, who has recently picked up form, was once again given the start. With the return to playing in the Bundesliga, the combination of him and Nemanja Matic in midfield seems to be stronger than that of Makoto Hasebe and Nemanja Matic playing together. Shahin's defence is not as conscientious as Hasebe's, but his attacking awareness and passing skills are much better than Hasebe's, and with Nemanja Matic by his side, he can play quite well, and under his control, Wolfsburg's game is significantly more rhythmic.

Wolfsburg's previous offensive weaknesses were made up for by Shahin, who was on a rebound in form. He constantly passed the ball on the field to connect the players in the front court, and also freed up the full attacking power of the Wolfsburg frontcourt. With his passing under control, Wolfsburg completely dominated the field. In the opening less than 20 minutes, Shaheen sent the ball to Gao Shunyao with a straight kick. After two back-and-forth attempts in front of the penalty area to open the void, Ko Shunyao failed to pass the ball to Turan, who was inserted. Turan sent the ball to Mandzukic with a random pass, and Mandzukic fired a close-range shot that gave Wolfsburg the upper hand.

This is certainly not the end of the game, and after Wolfsburg's attack has increased, one goal is no longer enough for them. Soon, Turan also scored his own goal - after Shaheen came on, Turan didn't have much of an organisational task on the pitch. He could have been more involved in attacking, thinking about the middle of the game and finally smashing the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the box with a long-range shot.

Two goals confirmed Wolfsburg's winning situation. In this Champions League game at home, they also ushered in victory. In the face of the Ligue 1 champions, they achieved a home and away double, and also made their Champions League group points rise wildly again.

After the match with Montpellier, Wolfsburg will have a group stage point. 10 points have been reached. At the same time, Arsenal lost one game to Wolfsburg, but relied on their previous victory over Montpellier, and the two games were played with Shakhtar Donetsk with one win and one draw. Now in the group, it is also second with 8 points.

Shakhtar Donetsk is one of the more miserable ones in the group, and they are not weak. If you change to another group, you may be able to qualify easily, but in this group. But they could hardly find a victory. Four games have been played with three draws and one loss, and the points are only a pitiful 3 points. Although it is slightly higher than Montpellier at the bottom, there is only a slim hope of qualifying from the group.

In the next round of the Champions League group stage, unless Wolfsburg and Arsenal lose together, so that Shakhtar Donetsk will turn the points into 6 points and Arsenal will not be able to score again, otherwise, Shakhtar Donetsk will be equivalent to withdrawing from the group stage early.

In the next game, I'm afraid that Shakhtar Donetsk will fight hard - but for Wolfsburg, that's not their concern anymore. After a second win over Montpellier, Wolfsburg have already qualified from the group, the task of the Champions League has been much lighter for them, and the remaining question is whether they can win the group - although this is still some pressure, but it is not the same as before.

The early qualification for the Champions League has made the players all breathe a sigh of relief. Because the pressure on the Champions League has been reduced, they can also pay more attention to how to adjust between the Champions League and the league, so that they can do well enough on both fronts.

Although Wolfsburg ushered in a series of victories during this time, it had a lot to do with the poor strength of the opponent, and the defeat to Schalke was an example.

The two lines go hand in hand, which is equivalent to tensing the nerves for Wolfsburg to deal with every game. And the double game in a week, the thickness of the Wolfsburg lineup is indeed a little unbearable. Although they have been winning all these days, the players are also very tired at this time. Wins are increasing one by one, but the players' form is declining from one game to another, and the season is very long, and it is not a few wins that can determine the outcome of the victory.

Wolfsburg was right to be worried: immediately after the win over Montpellier, Wolfsburg won another league game.

While Wolves were rejoicing at their surprise win in the preliminary group stage of the Champions League, they returned to the league and immediately lost to Bayer Leverkusen. And in this game, what made Wolfsburg lose quite frustrating was that the biggest reason for their loss was not their own lack of strength, but because of the loss of the players' lineup.

In this game, Wolfsburg did not pay much attention to it at first: Bayer Leverkusen is a strong opponent, but recently won consecutive games, and Wolfsburg has enough confidence in opponents at this level. However, what Wolfsburg did not expect was that they suffered a attrition problem in the game - less than 30 minutes after the start of the game, Wolfsburg defender Ruth collided with his teammate Naldo in the penalty area and was injured.

The injury came quite suddenly, leaving Wolfsburg with little to deal with for a while. Although Wolfsburg is not without other defenders, Knoch is too young and inexperienced, obviously not suitable for this kind of big scene, and in desperation, Wolfsburg can only catch ducks on the shelves and let Kjaer play football.

In Magath's past tactics, Kjaer has more often been used to replace Narddo. The two of them have basically never played together, and they are extremely unfamiliar with each other. Both of them are up-and-coming players, and no one is honestly wiping their butts for the team in the back. Although their skills are good, they lack a tacit understanding and cooperation, which also makes their defense line full of holes.

And it was this poor defensive line that allowed Leverkusen to find a lot of opportunities. Although Wolfsburg was almost entirely involved in counter-attacking, trying to keep the opposition out of possession, Bayer Leverkusen's attack was still very good. Their striker, Schurrle, seized a chance and fired a long-range shot through the two centre-backs to bring all Wolfsburg's efforts to naught.

A 0-1 win saw Wolfsburg come up with their second defeat of the season. What made Wolfsburg even more depressed was that when they lost, Bayern quietly won another victory, leaving Wolfsburg three points behind.

Bayern's strength is as stable as ever, while Wolfsburg's squad is not so stable in comparison. After the game, news also came from the medical team that Ruth needed to be out for four weeks. 4 weeks, basically a month, and now it's 11-10, which means that when Ruth returns, the first half of the season is also coming to an end.

In the past four weeks, Wolfsburg have four league games and two Champions League games, a total of six games to play, and for these six games, they have to rely on the unreliable defender combination of Kjaer and Naldo.

The lack of depth in the squad and the lack of comprehensive strength of the team as good as Bayern's excellence finally showed up in the long-distance race. The injury to the main defender almost means that it is impossible for Wolfsburg to continue to lock Bayern and die with them.

This year's long-distance race, before the halfway point of the race, they were already tired. A season is a long time, injuries, suspensions are inevitable, non-combat attrition is very fatal for the team, Wolfsburg's squad thickness, even an injury can not afford it, compared to Bayern's top squad in Europe, it is too bad.

Maybe this season, the long-distance running has failed – the thought makes the players feel depressed when they think about it: they played well this season, and if it had been previous seasons, they would definitely be at the top of the table. It's a pity that Bayern have played too hard this season.

In the previous Bundesliga, there was no team that played until November and only lost one game, and Bayern's performance this season is definitely the strongest in history. The Wolfsburg players even somewhat understand the pain of those teams in La Liga, facing such a powerful enemy, and suffering attrition themselves, which can really be described as a bad situation.

"We've played so well this season, but at the end of the day, we still can't win the title, it's sad."

The news of Ruth's injury made the team sigh. None of them are stupid, and everyone knows what that means. It's just that Gao Shunyao didn't complain about this situation. On the contrary, when talking to his teammates, his attitude is also very positive.

"The championship has to be grabbed, if it is so easy to get the championship trophy, then isn't the gold content of the championship also lower? If you want to prove your strength and make the experience of winning the championship a good memory for yourself, how can it be smooth sailing all the way? The process of winning the championship definitely requires hard work, it is a natural thing. Now that the league is not over yet, the season is still very long, who can bet that Bayern will not have an injury wave and fall seven or eight at once? On the football field, everything is possible, and only by persevering can we see the future - at this time, it is the time when we need to show our fighting spirit, that is, no matter how slim the hope is, if you don't persevere, where is the miracle?
