On January 25, Wolfsburg finally ushered in a 2-0 victory in the 18th round of the league thanks to the successive goals of two forwards. ↗ After the game, basically all the media agreed that if Wolfsburg had not made too many adjustments after the second half in order to make the new De Bruyne find his form and send him too many balls, maybe this game, Wolfsburg could have won more beautifully. At the start of the second half of the season, Wolfsburg seems to be even better, at least a team like Hannover is completely unable to stop them.

Wolves are in much better shape than before. Physical, aggressive, sharp and threatening. In the face of the opponent, the backline players are in danger, joint strangulation, the midfielders are calm, anticipating the enemy's opportunity, the strikers have the courage to take responsibility, boldly try to shoot, this team is more terrible than before.

It's just that if you want to beat a local tyrant team in the Champions League, just beating a Hannover is obviously not enough to be proud of. Hannover are now 13th in the league and are just a stone's throw away from the relegation zone, and no amount of good play against such a team proves that Wolfsburg are ready for the Champions League. If they really want to prove themselves, they need to beat some really strong teams to be convinced that they are ready for anything.

There is no shortage of such strong teams in the Bundesliga. For example, in the next round of 19 matches, Wolfsburg will face Schalke, which will be much more difficult. And whether Wolfsburg can defeat them is also a more important matter.

on this. The media is paying a lot of attention. And what the media doesn't know is that for this game. The Wolfsburg players can be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time.

In the first half of the season, Wolfsburg lost three games. One of them was the loss to Schalke 04. It was their first defeat of the first half of the season and a game that has left them feeling depressed until now. At that time, Wolfsburg was not ready to give up the league completely, as they were the defending champions at the time, and they were ready to meet the challenge in the league with great momentum. However, Schalke gave them a slap in the face at the time, knocking them out completely.

If the defeat to Bayern and Borussia Dortmund was not particularly depressing for Wolfsburg, the loss to Schalke 04. It can be said to be a defeat that has made Wolfsburg depressed for a long time. Both teams were very strong, and even if they lost to them, the Wolvesburg players were still convinced. In comparison, Schalke 04's strength is obviously much weaker, and this defeat is also difficult for Wolfsburg players to accept.

Schalke have played quite poorly this season, and it can even be said that they are one of the teams that have dropped the most compared to before. Former Schalke. It is a team that can guarantee its Champions League place in the league, and in the Champions League, at least the chance of knockout, but this season. They don't have such good results.

They are still sixth in the league and are even behind Borussia Mönchenchen, with the possibility of being overtaken by Hertha Berlin. And in Europe, they don't have a Champions League at all. Even in the Europa League, they couldn't finish first in the group. It was overwhelmed by Turkey's Trabzonspor and squeezed into second place in the group. And in the Europa League round of 32 draw, they were unfortunate to meet Sevilla, a team with quite good Europa League experience, and it can even be said that there is no play to go further, it can be said that this season, whether it is the league or the European battle, they are extremely humiliating, complete failure.

But such a team has also defeated Wolfsburg. It was they who made Wolfsburg suffer the first defeat of the season, thinking of this, the Wolfsburg players are quite uncomfortable, compared to being thwarted by a strong opponent, it is even more depressing to overturn in the gutter. It's normal for teams to win and lose each other, but it's an absolute shame to be beaten by Schalke.

The last time they met, Wolfsburg suffered a defeat, and this time, they don't accept to lose like this again. From the moment the two teams met, Wolfsburg launched their own attack and completely dominated the situation on the field.

For Wolfsburg, they don't have to win in the league, but they are more willing to pay attention to their feud with Schalke when they don't have their own league results. They are not prepared to save their depression for next season, since everyone has met again in this game, then they have already taken revenge.

On the pitch, the Wolfsburg players played quite seriously, but Schalke didn't seem to want to admit defeat so easily. Their results are already very poor, and if they lose, they won't be able to play in Europe next season. Therefore, they and Wolfsburg are also engaged in fierce battles, and the battle between the two sides is quite stalemate.

It's just that in this game, Wolfsburg is obviously more ferocious than the last one. On the pitch, they are not prepared to give their opponents a chance to take the ball in stride. When a football ball reached the feet of Schalke at the front of Huntelaar in the middle of the road, Kjaer rushed up behind him. He immediately stuck to Huntelaar from behind and broke the ball with a kick that made Huntelaar lose control of the ball.

Wolfsburg's defense was very good, but Schalke's counterattack should not be underestimated, after Kjaer got the ball, he wanted to pass the ball forward, but Kevin Boateng had already rushed up at this time and blocked the ball with one foot.

Although the striker who once made a big splash in Milan is regarded by many as a patch upgrade package for Ibrahimovic's tactics, it is undeniable that his tackling ability is still very strong, and he can be an excellent-stirring stick on the pitch. He cut off the ball with one kick and immediately chose to pass it back to Neustadt behind him, ensuring that he had the ball in his hands. After receiving the ball, Neustadt directly chose to make a transition, wanting to hand the ball to Drexler, who was close to the side, and set off an attack again.

His handling can be considered a good choice, at least full of awareness. But between the swaps, the ball was obviously not handled well enough. When Drexler received the ball, Gustavo was already close to him, and before he could take the first step to get the ball, Gustavo had already kicked the ball towards the ball and broke the ball again.

Schalke may be hardworking, but Wolfsburg is clearly better. And this time, they obviously won't miss the ball again, and Gustavo won't make that mistake.

The ball was finally cut off, and Gustavo was in the middle of the chaos and played a ball to the wing, which was sent to Rodriguez on the left. And after getting the ball, facing the already open pitch in front of him, Rodriguez immediately kicked the ball straight and kicked the ball towards Perisic. Wolfsburg's attack was still quite fast and fast, and after two passes, the ball was sent to the front.

It's just that Rodriguez's pass is fast, but it is not very accurate, on the side, Perisic rushed to the football for the first time, but behind him, Atsuto Uchida has also quickly approached him. Just when Perisic was about to touch football, behind him, Atsushi Uchida suddenly pushed him hard and pushed Perisic away.

His idea is still good, although it is a foul action, but the ball itself is very far away, and it is difficult to score a free kick. Even if it was a foul, it was worth it to stop Wolfsburg's quick attack, and his choice was wise.

Atsushi Uchida has been playing well since he played in the Bundesliga, and it is no surprise that he was even named the best right-back in the Bundesliga at one point. He judged very well what was best for the team.

However, just as he put his hands on Perisic's back, Perisic suddenly took a step forward and rushed out with great acceleration. He ignored the ball that was close at hand, and chose to shake off his opponent first. And this step of his made Atsuto Uchida behind him suddenly use his strength in the empty space, and he staggered forward and fell directly to the ground!

In an instant, Perisic shook off his opponent's defence. He may not have the same skill at his feet as Turan, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to fight back quickly. With the ball, he is not so easy to intercept, one-on-one, his threat is not small.

Atsushi Uchida fell, but Perisic took the ball and strode into the box. In the penalty area, in the face of the opponent's backline, which had quickly returned to the defense, he did not choose to kill from the middle, but on the side, firmly controlled the ball, and then passed the ball to Gao Shunyao who was inserted. Compared to going it alone, the threat of two people working together is greater, and he is very aware of this.

And this time, as soon as Gao Shunyao stepped into the penalty area, the football had already been delivered to his feet. Got the football, Gao Shunyao also knew what to do, he immediately pulled to the right, moved with the opponent's backline, and was also looking for opportunities to cooperate with Perisic. Two attackers who cooperate tacitly are an absolute nightmare for the opponent's backline, and Gao Shunyao has long been very clear about this.

His pace is big, unusually resolute, and this kind of tugging also makes the defender who is marking him not know for a moment whether to follow him decisively, or pay more attention to his connection with Perisic. And it was this moment of hesitation, Gao Shunyao had already found an opportunity, he took another big step, picked up his right foot, shot the goal, and blasted the ball out!

In the box, it is dangerous to let a striker go for even a second, and this time, Schalke proved that truth once again. Gao Shunyao's shot flew to the goal at great speed, and Schalke's gate was broken in an instant!

In this battle of revenge, Wolfsburg is superior after all. Gao Shunyao's shot forced Schalke to be one step away from the European zone, which was also the happiest goal for Wolfsburg. (To be continued.) )
