Since the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg has played very well against most teams, even if it is a top powerhouse like Bayern, it is the same in front of Wolfsburg. However, Wolfsburg is not without its own pains, they lost points in three games in the first half of the season, and the draw against Dortmund can be said to be a non-defeat, but the games against Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen, after thinking about it, always make the Wolfsburg players feel a little distressed.

Those two games, no matter how you think about it, are uncomfortable. Obviously, his strength is not weak, but because of various discomforts in the two-front battle, he was defeated by Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke, and the process of the game can be described as extremely aggrieved.

And it is precisely because of those two games that Wolfsburg's psychological pressure has lasted for half a season. Bayern's perverted good results, so that Wolfsburg can not get an advantage, can only follow Bayern all the way, after each week, they want to see how Bayern results, but the result is always the same to disappoint Wolfsburg players, repeating such a game again and again, if it is not for good psychological quality, I am afraid that it will collapse early.

And again, those two games also had a big impact on Wolfsburg's reputation. As the second in the league, they lost in the third and fourth places in the league, and they drew in the face of fifth, which gave Wolfsburg a notorious reputation for being invincible in the first half of the season.

The game itself, the league impact, the team's reputation, two draws, Wolfsburg received multiple blows. Moreover, if there is any additional blow, then until the second half of the season, the media has been predicting that Wolfsburg will be in trouble after meeting Schalke, which is also something that makes Wolfsburg players quite unhappy.

"For Wolfsburg. Schalke is a threshold that has to be considered. Compared to other teams, their impact on Wolfsburg. Much bigger than other teams. ”

Despite the win over Bayern, the media did not think that Wolfsburg would be able to go all the way in the league. In the eyes of the media, Wolfsburg still has several important enemies to deal with, and if it is not handled well enough, it is still possible to lose points. In the eyes of the media, the biggest opponent that Wolfsburg needs to deal with is naturally Schalke, who lost to them in the first half of the season, so in this game, Wolfsburg may lose again.

In all fairness. The media's predictions are not unreasonable. First of all, Schalke have been in decent form of late, they have played quite well, and the draw against Valencia in the cup is the best proof of this.

Secondly, Schalke's strength is indeed one of the most threatening in the league, their players are quite high-level, and they are definitely in the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga, which is beyond doubt.

In addition, the game time between Wolfsburg and Schalke was really not very good. Midweek. Wolfsburg are about to face Porto in the Champions League. After losing the first leg, Wolves had to play well in the second leg, so Wolves faced a difficult two-game schedule. Schalke, by contrast, have a week to go in the Champions League. Compared to Wolfsburg, they still have enough rest time, and they can fight with Wolfsburg.

Of course, Castle Wolf may not make much sense to Schalke. However, Wolfsburg's coach is Magat. This was enough to make Schalke very happy to stop Wolfsburg. The two sides have a lot of old feuds, and Schalke will not be happy to see Magath become a championship coach.

And so on. It's enough to make the game an important level for Wolfsburg.

It's just Schalke's recent form, and it will be a little difficult to stop Wolfsburg.

This season, Schalke had played quite well, but with the injuries of the team's two cores, Huntelaar and Farfan, Schalke also began to play poorly. Not long ago, the meritorious coach Stevens was sacked because of a six-round winless run, and Schalke experienced a lot of turmoil, and it can be said that it is not the previous Schalke.

After Stevens, the team chose Jens Keller as the team's head coach - this coach has been maliciously believed by the media since he took office, and the reason why he was appointed was only because the liquidated damages were relatively low, and it was easier to get rid of them when he wanted to make a substitution.

And the level of this coach is really not flattering, and what he coached after taking office was also a mess. Of course, this has something to do with Schalke's two main core players injured lineup, but if this situation cannot be reversed, then what is the purpose of changing the coach? When it comes to being close to the team, how does Keller compare with Stevens?

There are many doubts about this change of coach, but Keller's coaching is not without merit. The most visible highlight of the team under his leadership is that Schalke under his coaching team drew 1-1 with a strong opponent in the Champions League, and it is this that has made him still recognized by many people and quickly gained a firm foothold in Schalke.

His victory also raised some expectations: this coach may seem inexperienced, but maybe he is very effective against strong teams? There are always some bullshit coaches in this world, playing a weak team is a mess, playing a strong team is extremely perverted, and Keller may not be this kind of person.

It's just a pity that although the media had this idea, after the game started, their expectations quickly turned into disappointment. Keller's tactical arrangement was completely defeated by Magath in the game.

The game was played at home to Wolves – the only advantage they had for a week of playing at home in both games. Because of Wolfsburg's two-game week, in Keller's view, Wolfsburg's tactics may also be more conservative, and in order to save energy for the midweek game, they may choose to stick to the counterattack. It is precisely because of this that Keller's tactics are also to attack immediately from the beginning of the game - taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to score a goal may be a good way to break through the dense defense.

He had a good idea, but unfortunately he had completely guessed Wolfsburg's reaction. During the game, Wolfsburg did not have the idea of shrinking the defense at all, and in Schalke's attack, Wolfsburg also played offensive football. Compared to sticking to the penalty area to save physical strength, Wolfsburg seems to prefer to directly knock Schalke down, so that the game will lose suspense. And, sacrificing the league for the Champions League? How could Wolfsburg do something like that?

What they want is the league championship, so naturally they will only work hard in the league. After the start of the game, their offensive wave after wave was higher, especially when they found out that Schalke was playing away from home and was not thinking about defending but preparing to attack, which made the Wolfsburg players ecstatic.

Compared to their away opponents, this open style of play is clearly something they admire. Originally, they thought that they were going to attack the turtle shell, but when they suddenly found that the opponent was so open, they naturally would not be polite.

Within ten minutes, Wolfsburg had their first goal. When Perisic crossed the ribs of the penalty area on the wing, Gao Shunyao got the ball with his back to the goal, and wanted to turn and shoot, but he pushed it and gave the ball to Shahin, who was inserted. Shaheen fired a long-range shot straight open the door of Schalke. The goal was a reminder that Ko Soon-yeol had also played as a tactical centre-forward, and that he could play surprising football with the right receiver behind him.

Schalke's open style of play was dealt a rather ruthless blow by Wolfsburg, and soon, Wolfsburg created another chance. After Shaheen stepped forward this time, he gave the ball to Gao Shunyao with one kick. Gao Shunyao rushed into the penalty area with the ball, facing the opposing defense, seemingly waiting for Perisic and Mandzukic to respond left and right. However, just when the opposing defender was careful to respond, Gao Shunyao suddenly got up and volleyed with a calf, making the score of the game 2-

Falling behind by two goals soon after the opening period, Schalke's tactics were a complete defeat. They had to be recycled in advance, piled up in front of the penalty area. However, the accumulation did not have much effect, and Wolfsburg began to bombard the ball in the air, and just before half-time, Mandzukic had a header saved by the goalkeeper and he fired into the net himself, allowing Wolfsburg to extend the game again.

Keller's tactics were basically a complete failure. It wasn't until the end of the game that Drexler scored a goal to keep Schalke from being embarrassed. However, such goals did not help, Schalke still lost, and Wolfsburg once again secured three points.

3-1, Wolfsburg got a beautiful win on their home turf. Keller didn't become the magical coach that the media expected after all, and although his team was able to pull away at Valencia and create a miracle that shocked the media, he returned to his own chaotic command against Wolfsburg. And it turns out that a young coach and a team that has lost its main core players cannot have enough strength to stop a strong team like Wolfsburg.

In the first half of the season, Schalke, who caused a lot of trouble to Wolfsburg, was easily defeated by Wolfsburg. And the victory at Wolfsburg also proves one thing: against a strong opponent, even if they lose away from home, they can still get back when they return to home.

After all, this home field is Wolfsburg's own territory, and they have not lost on their home ground all season, and no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be afraid.

'Wolfsburg are in good form and have some hope of a comeback in the Champions League. A goal away from home can be an important condition for their final victory, and Wolfsburg will have to be very careful to make the most of their advantages in order to secure a victory. ”

After the game, the media had to admit that Wolfsburg did play its own prestige in this game. And they also have some expectations about whether Wolfsburg can face Porto's comeback.

It's just that in anticipation, the media still says a lot of words to remind Wolfsburg to pay attention, after all, Porto is not Schalke, they have no main players injured, and there is no change of coach on the spot, Wolfsburg is still facing a completely powerful opponent, although playing at home, it is definitely not so easy to play.

However, the media's reminder is obviously superfluous, this game is good or not, Wolfsburg itself has long been counted. The opposition is strong but definitely not invincible, and Wolfsburg's home ground has yet to fall, and they believe Porto will not be the team to trample on their home turf. (To be continued.) )
