In the match between Wolfsburg and Atletico Madrid, Wolfsburg has always been the underdog. ○ If in this game, Atletico Madrid encountered a lot of setbacks because of the overall defense of Wolfsburg, then Wolfsburg's offense simply never played, in front of Atletico Madrid, they have always played timidly, and their expected offense has never been opened, which is also the biggest problem that Wolfsburg faces in this game.

Although before the game, Gao Shunyao had sworn that during the game, he would definitely do his best to score goals. But in this game, the pressure on Wolfsburg was far greater than expected, and it was even difficult for them to counterattack to the backfield, which also made Gao Shunyao's words of wanting to score a goal completely empty talk. Gao Shunyao is a striker, if a striker wants to score, he must have the support of the backcourt players, but in this game, Wolfsburg can't support the frontcourt and launch an attack, which also makes Gao Shunyao helpless in the game.

So far in the game, apart from running back and forth and participating in defense, Gao Shunyao really hasn't contributed much. The overall offensive is not effective, so Wolfsburg has never been able to get a good chance. However, as the game progressed and after seeing Atletico Madrid's attack, Gao Shunyao's mind also began to spin: if Atletico Madrid can get opportunities from set-pieces, why can't Wolfsburg

When it comes to set-pieces, Wolfsburg is not bad at all, but when it comes to headers, Wolfsburg is not afraid of anyone.

Gao Shunyao has always been very confident in his team's ability in this regard. German teams have always been dominant in high balls, and compared to the technical characteristics of La Liga teams, German teams have always excelled in this regard. The Bundesliga may not have as good a technique at the feet as La Liga, and they can't come up with the flashy passing of Spanish football, but because of the style of their own league. Bundesliga teams always get a lot of headers in the game, and the more opportunities there are, the more time the players will naturally get training, and their level will naturally be higher.

Of course, there is no shortage of Bayern in the Bundesliga team who are taking set-pieces like this. Teams that have some problems with their headers. Because some teams like to pursue technology, their own advantages are also lost. But at least, Wolfsburg is not such a team, they are Magath's team, and in that regard, they are just as good.

Magath, the coach, has done a lot of things that have been criticized, but even if he hates him, he has to admit to a few things. He did an excellent job. One is naturally physical training, and in this regard, Magath claims to be the second, and no one dares to say that he is the first. On the other hand, although Magath does not have many offensive moves, set-pieces are one of the things he is good at.

As a coach in the Bundesliga, the offensive tactics of the team under Magath are comparable to those of the teams in La Liga. It's not that great. The Bundesliga itself is known for its technical tactics for execution, not for its subtlety. They don't excel in this either. However, as a famous coach, Magath obviously still has some ways to make up for the team's lack of attack, and set-piece tactics have always been his forte.

As a weak team that wants to challenge a strong team, it is always impossible to do without some excellent means. And the same with Atletico Madrid. Wolfsburg have been very focused on set-pieces over the past few seasons. They have been able to move forward in the Champions League and the league, and set-pieces have always played a role that cannot be ignored, and Magath's team is compared to the teams in La Liga. There is a big gap in the details, in the tactical awareness, in the technique at the feet, but in terms of set-pieces, they have no weaknesses.

In this game, Wolfsburg did not use set-pieces as their main means of attack: when watching the video before the game, they had already noticed that Atletico Madrid's set-piece tactics were also very strong, and Godin and Miranda had good air defense, so this was not the focus of Wolfsburg's breakthrough. And because he thought about playing defensive counterattacks in the middle of the game, he estimated that he would not have many opportunities, so Wolfsburg also hoped to make better use of them. Compared to set-pieces, they prefer to win with quick counter-attacks, and that attack with a higher insurance factor is more suitable for them.

However, with the game now on, it seems that it is a little unlikely that these set-pieces will no longer be used. As it turned out, even if Wolfsburg tried their best, it was difficult to get too good a chance against Atletico Madrid. Surprisingly, Wolfsburg had a terrible number of set-piece opportunities in the game. Atletico's fouls were everywhere throughout the game, allowing Wolfsburg to get a lot of set-pieces, and these opportunities can also be tried to take advantage of.

Anyway, the current situation is already like this, if you don't take advantage of these opportunities, Wolfsburg will definitely lose, and you can still try to use these opportunities to fight.

It is true that Atletico may be strong in this regard, but Wolfsburg is at least not afraid of them. Compared with other attacking methods, the possibility of the opponent committing a foul will be much lower in the set-piece attack. Atletico may be able to keep Wolfsborg back with their excellent defensive and foul tactics, but set-pieces may be their most important weapon to break the deadlock.

Of course, if you want to break the deadlock like this, the premise is that Wolfsburg can find opportunities on the heads of Godin and Miranda, and the two defenders of the opposing side are very good at heading, and it will not be easy to break down their defense.

It's just that Gao Shunyao has a lot of confidence in this. He is confident that he can gain the upper hand against his opponents.

He had to get the upper hand, because this was his last resort. After fighting the whole game, Wolfsburg did not find the opponent's weakness, so Gao Shunyao could only count on his strength to be stronger than the opponent.

This method is feasible, especially looking at the game time, 60 minutes have passed, which also makes Gao Shunyao even more expecting Wolfsburg to get a set-piece: Wolfsburg has already studied Atletico's weaknesses before the game. They play on two fronts, combined with the lack of depth on the bench and the lack of physical strength of the players, which is one of their biggest problems. And as the game time passed, Gao Shunyao also believed that Wolfsburg would gain some advantages.

Maybe this thought is a bit self-comforting, but it is enough for Gao Shunyao to find his way in the next game. Gao Shunyao has never forgotten what he said before the game to give it his all, and now, he finally knows how to push hard.

In his heart, Gao Shunyao sorted out his thoughts, and he also communicated with his teammates, saying his own opinions. It's just that these things did not attract the attention of Atletico Madrid fans who watched the game, for them, the game is now a different situation.

The cheers passed, and on the field, the two sides had started the game again, and as just now, Wolfsburg was still holding on steadily, and there was not much offensive play. However, maybe because of physical problems, maybe because the Atletico players also relented a little after the goal, and when the game started again, the pressure on Wolfsburg was also reduced a lot.

Atletico no longer insisted on pressing, which led Wolfsburg to try to fight back. Soon, when Rodriguez got the ball again, he plugged in again along the flank, thinking of a quick attack.

However, his raid was immediately stopped by Atletico Madrid. And this time Atletico defended better. Behind him, Raul Garcia blocked the line of his return pass, next to him, Gabi blocked the possibility of his cross, and in front of him, Juanfran also resolutely stepped up to seal him on the wing.

When there was no attacking pressure, Atletico's defence improved even further. In the face of such a defense, Rodriguez could only twist near the touchline and protect the ball in embarrassment. However, such a ball protection did not really give him a chance to break through, and Juanfrán, who was unable to grab the ball after two outstretches of his foot behind his back, also kicked him directly to the leg when he extended his foot for the third time, putting him on the ground.

Atletico Madrid is not a suave team, and they don't mind being heavy on difficult opponents.

The referee's warning sounded again, admonishing Juanfran again. But because the foul happened in an unimportant position on the side after all, and it was a static scramble, he still did not receive a yellow card. However, even so, Wolfsburg was awarded a set-piece, and this time, unlike just now, Wolfsburg seemed to have made a more detailed arrangement.

Up front, Ko Soon Yao and Mandzukic pulled back and whispered to their team-mates on the flanks. Soon, the two of them also walked to the penalty area, and together with Perisic, they searched for a place in the box. Shaheen and Turan stood in front of the football, waiting for their teammates to run in the box, as if they were expecting something.

From such a distance, it seemed a little difficult for them to set up a team-mate from a direct free-kick. Atletico fans are also a little puzzled by Wolfsburg's attack.

However, in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans, Wolfsburg really took advantage of this impossible opportunity

Standing in front of the football, Shaheen kicked the football directly into the penalty area with a long pass. In the penalty area, Mandzukic, Gao Shunyao, and Perisic were almost in a straight line at this time, and they were all trying to grab points inside. In the face of the falling football, Perisic and Mandzukic on both sides moved sideways together, and their footsteps made Atletico Madrid's defense also loosen a little, and it was in this loosening that Gao Shunyao had taken a step forward, got rid of their defense, jumped up in front of them, and rushed high towards the football

Relying on the cooperation of three people, Wolfsburg's set-piece attack was officially launched. Unlike Atletico's attack, which relies more on coordination, Wolfsburg players have enough trust in the ability of their players. Wolfsburg's set-piece attack will not be a trick used to divert the tiger from the mountain, their set-piece is a hammer that directly breaks the goal

And this is Wolfsburg's strongest attack method to be continued.
