Section 473 Disgrace

Wolfsburg will play with Dortmund in the league between the Champions League games, such a schedule makes the English media very satisfied, especially when the first leg of the game is over, Wolfsburg and Chelsea played 22 draws, neither side took too much advantage, the English media is all very much looking forward to Wolfsburg will consume part of the strength in the league, so that Chelsea in the second leg, face a more powerful situation.

Of course, if you want Wolfsburg to consume strength in the league, then one of the biggest problems is that Wolfsburg must go all out in this game and not give up. In the eyes of the English media, Wolfsburg will definitely fight hard.

The British media looks at the problem this way, mainly in two aspects, one is the current ranking of the Bundesliga: the current Bundesliga, Wolfsburg is second, and Dortmund is third. Although the difference between them is not small, it is not completely impossible to catch up. Especially Wolfsburg now, there are still no problems on three fronts, the league, the cup, the Champions League, they are all going on, in addition to the Champions League results, the next round of the German Cup will also play Bayern, the same will also affect the league results, a bad trouble, they lost in the last few rounds in a row, lost a lot of points.

In contrast, Dortmund is in a much better position. They were eliminated from the cup and the Champions League, and they were left to play in the league, and their players came back one by one, which also made their results better

The second place in the league for Wolfsburg for half a season may have to be given up. Wolfsburg's advantage over Borussia Dortmund this season has even reached almost 10 points, and it would be too embarrassing to be caught up by their opponents.

And, if Wolfsburg does lose to Borussia Dortmund, there is more than that, there is another very important problem. It is Wolfsburg's performance against strong teams this season, and it has to be written with a strong stroke This season, Wolfsburg's results against several strong teams are not very good. Among the teams at the top of the league, Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke all won against Wolfsburg. And after a season, Bayern won one and drew one against Wolfsburg, and Wolfsburg dropped five points on them, if this one loses again to Dortmund. Then their results against Dortmund are also one draw and one loss, so if you calculate it, Wolfsburg has only won two of eight games against the top five teams in the league, which is a winning percentage. It's a shame and a bit excessive.

In the eyes of the English media, even for the sake of their own face, Wolfsburg should play a game against Dortmund in the league. As for the Champions League, Wolfsburg has no hope of winning the Champions League anyway. Working hard in the Champions League is just to save face. And if you try to save face in the Champions League, you will lose face in the league. So what's the point of playing in the Champions League?

Therefore, in their opinion. In the league, Wolfsburg will definitely try to win.

However, although the English media's considerations do seem to be reasonable, it seems that Wolfsburg does have many reasons to have a head-to-head battle with Dortmund in the league. However, in the eyes of the German media, almost none of these reasons are tenable. Because after all, there is something more important for Wolfsburg now.

"In the midweek game, Wolfsburg should have made some rotation changes. The pressure of playing on two fronts may make Wolfsburg choose to give up sensibly when they face Borussia Dortmund in the league. For Borussia Dortmund, this is the perfect time to close the gap between them and Wolfsburg, while for Bayern, they could bring forward their title win again by moving forward. For Wolfsburg, this is undoubtedly a cheaper two rivals, but even so, it is still the best choice, because their focus this year is still the Champions League. ”

The evaluation of the German media hit the nail on the head and only went wrong. Although the match with Dortmund is a key battle related to the face of Wolfsburg and the results of Wolfsburg, compared to the Champions League results, that little face is nothing

The Champions League results are what Wolfsburg really cares about now. Compared to the Champions League, winning or losing one or two games in the league is actually not that important. The British media said that the relationship between victory and defeat was very embarrassing, but they forgot that winning or losing the Champions League can give a team a long face. Even if it is a giant, it is not easy to win the Champions League semi-finals, and for Wolfsburg, for the Champions League semi-finals, there is no one to lose

Of course, it is indeed a very embarrassing fact that Wolfsburg can win the Champions League semi-finals, then these questions are like when people recall Schalke, who will remember that their league ranking is compared to the Champions League, and the league ranking has risen and is nothing more than that, let alone a few wins and losses

Wolfsburg isn't stupid enough to be that stupid.

In fact, strictly speaking, if you really talk about worrying about the league results, Wolfsburg is really not the team that should be the most worried about right now. After all, in the league, they have been left behind by Bayern a lot, and there is little hope of catching up, and losing to Dortmund is at most to lose some face, and the worst possibility is to be relegated from second in the league to third in the league, and no matter how many problems there are, there is basically no problem.

For Wolfsburg, there is nothing fundamentally harmful about this. The requirements of the team's top management for them were originally to get the top three in the league, anyway, as long as there is the Champions League to play next season, the second is better, but the third is not unacceptable. Although it is said that if you lose this game, it will be equivalent to Wolfsburg's game against Dortmund and Bayern, and there is no ball in four games, which is indeed a little embarrassing, but this season has not won the championship anyway, even if you lose some people, what is the big deal

As long as you get a face, the game with Dortmund is not competitive, and you admit it calmly, this game will not have any impact on Wolfsburg.

In contrast, Chelsea, on the other hand, should pay more attention to their league side of the Premier League, which has been played for 32 rounds. The scores of Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are still very close. All three teams are now less than a game apart from each other, and a win or loss can make all the difference in the final outcome of the season. Especially in the last few games, Liverpool and Chelsea, Manchester City have played, and there is every possibility that this score will change further, so Chelsea at this time, compared to Wolfsburg, is one that cannot be left behind.

Unlike Wolfsburg, Chelsea's disadvantage in the league is so small that if they give up, the fans will not be able to say yes. Chelsea need to continue to work hard in the league, and this situation cannot be easily abandoned, unlike Wolfsburg, who can not play seriously as long as they don't want to save face, they really have to stick to the two-front battle.

Sometimes, fighting on two fronts, there is hope on both fronts, but it is not a very good thing. It is precisely because of the good results on both sides that neither side can be easily put down, which only makes the pressure on Chelsea even greater.

In midweek, Chelsea need to work harder.

Of course, despite that, the German media did not regard Chelsea's current situation as an advantage for Wolfsburg. Because the enemy Chelsea have to deal with at the weekend is really Stoke City. Although Arsene Wenger once joked that this team was the best team to deal with Barcelona, at the end of the day, they are just a mid-table team in the Premier League. Against such a mid-table Premier League team, Chelsea will not spend too much energy.

In fact, when he was interviewed, this issue was raised, and Mourinho's opinion says it all.

'The weekend won't cause us any problems and we'll be able to win for sure. Chelsea are a big team, we're not the kind of game where you can play on one line, we can play on both fronts. To keep a good result on one front, to deal with it on another front, this kind of thing that small teams with little background may do, but Chelsea definitely don't. ”

In Mourinho's remarks, in addition to the ridicule of Manchester City, who have always been hastily dealt with in the Champions League and are now fighting extremely hard with him for the league title, the biggest message revealed is that in the weekend game, his team will definitely not easily admit defeat.

Chelsea are confident of playing on two fronts and have no reason to back down against Stoke City, believing they can definitely win.

Chelsea's confidence undoubtedly comes from their quality. And their confidence also puts Wolfsburg under more pressure. Under heavy pressure, Wolfsburg finally made its own choice. When they saw the roster of players they had arranged for the weekend, the media could only say that it was true.

In this game, Wolfsburg finally chose to rotate sharply, and what they wanted was obviously not a high-eyebrow victory, but to rein in their minions, lower their eyebrows, and wait for the arrival of the Champions League game. To be continued
