Section 493 Victory is in sight
In the 63rd minute of the game, Wolfsburg's first substitution was finally belated. After half a game, Gao Shunyao was finally replaced on the field and replaced the veteran Olich, making Wolfsburg's lineup closer to their all-main lineup.
This substitution is undoubtedly a lot stronger for Wolfsburg. But even so, the fans are still a little puzzled in their eyes: Olic has always played well in most of the half, and he frequently pulls the side on the side, which also makes Bayern suffer enough. At the end of the game, Wolfsburg chose to replace him, a decision that was a bit rash
Almost all Wolfsburg fans know that, unlike Olich, who can pull the side, Ko Shunyao's technical ability does not support him in doing so. Originally, Wolfsburg was still on a par with Bayern in terms of tactics, and such a substitution would not make Wolfsburg fall behind Bayern
The fans were worried that Wolfsburg would cause their offense to decline because of this substitution, but after arriving on the field, Gao Shunyao immediately proved that he would not bring such a negative effect, on the contrary, he could make the team stronger.
On the pitch, with the game almost 70 minutes played, Wolfsburg once again found a good opportunity to attack. And this time, when Wolfsburg attacked, De Bruyne also pulled up to the flank. Unlike Olic just now, Gao Shunyao was at the front of the penalty area, waiting for God to cooperate with his teammates, obviously, Wolfsburg's attack changed its way this time.
And such a change obviously did not weaken Wolfsburg's attack, on the contrary, their attack was still fluid.
Passing half-time with the ball, Shaheen's cross was delivered to De Bruyne on the run. De Bruyne didn't stop at his feet, and with another push pass, he sent the ball to the feet of Gao Shunyao, who retreated to receive it. And Gao Shunyao got the ball, withstood Boateng's up-and-coming behind his back, and immediately kicked back the pass, once again bringing the football back to Shahin's control.
On the right side of the road. Olich's departure did not halt Wolfsburg's attack, although the absence of Olic left De Bruyne forced to return to the wing. But on this side, he played just as well. And Gao Shunyao's sufficient physical strength also made Wolfsburg have a fulcrum in the frontcourt, although there was no midfield breakthrough ability just now, but the three people of Wolfsburg had to cooperate to form an inverted triangle structure. Their offense has changed, but it's still very fluid. At the same time as Gao Shunyao gave the ball to Shahin, he also inserted it forward, and Shahin only needed a pass, and he could get a single chance in the penalty area.
However, Bayern's defense is not dry after all, even if Wolfsburg's attack changes, they can't let Wolfsburg's attack penetrate like this. Watch Wolfsburg's pass. Bayern's players were also making slight adjustments, and as the ball flew towards Shahin, Martinez also rushed up to Shahin's side, squeezing Shaheen with his physical advantage, while also reaching out with his foot to snatch the ball from Shahin's feet.
His attempt made Shaheen almost lose possession. However, at the last moment, Shahin still pulled the ball back in time, turned around to block Martinez, and controlled the ball at his feet. His movements are fairly coherent. The football did not get out of control, but because of this half turn, he himself became his back to the goal, and Gao Shunyao originally expected Shaheen to directly stuff the ball into the penalty area after getting the ball. There is no hope at this time.
Bayern's defense will not give them such a good opportunity after all, they are very tight in defense of Wolfsburg players, and it is not easy to attack easily. Olic went down, and Wolfsburg had one less person to cooperate with in the midfield, which also put Shaheen in even greater trouble. Just as Shaheen turned around, Alaba on the flank also blocked the connection between him and De Bruyne at this time, making it impossible for the two of them to pass the ball, trying to stop Wolfsburg's attack.
Behind him was Martinez, the passing path in front of him was cut off again, and Shaheen also noticed, and the piggy also rushed over to cover him. He ran with the ball, on the one hand to avoid the fate of being blocked, and on the other hand, he also found his way to the ball at this time.
Such a route was quickly found by him.
Behind De Bruyne, who was blocked, Rong had already quickly intervened. When Gao Shunyao suppressed Bayern's defense in the front, making them unable to get too forward, the fullbacks of Wolfsburg were also activated to a certain extent. Rong, who was bullied by Ribery for the whole game, also chose to plug in quickly at this time, and on the side, he chose the right time and made a quick insertion.
Olic went down, but at this point, the Wolfsburg full-back stepped in.
In fact, Rong dared to plug in at this time, which is not unrelated to the current game time. If it was the first half, Ribery still had plenty of physical strength, even if there were flaws in the opponent's backfield, he would not dare to insert it easily. However, as the game time passed, after 70 minutes of play, Ribery's physical exertion was already great, and his pace was no longer as light as in the first half, which naturally gave Rong enough courage to dare to let him go for a short time.
Although Bayern is now at the end of the league and is almost a one-line operation, in the past few weeks, they have been fighting on multiple fronts like Wolfsburg. Robben and Ribery have consumed no less than Wolfsburg this season, and their physical strength is not much stronger. After 70 minutes of play, Bayern, who insisted on the tactics of flying on both wings, was already a little exhausted, and this also made Wolfsburg's attack more sharp with the support of the backfield players.
As Magath's team, Wolfsburg is definitely better than Bayern in this aspect. And since you have an advantage, if you don't use your good physical strength, it's really stupid.
Shaheen saw his team-mate, and his pass was unmistakable. And just over the halfway line, after Rong got the ball, he didn't hesitate, he kicked straight and sent the football straight forward against the sideline, and handed it to De Bruyne in front of him, and he didn't choose to move forward more, although he is now involved in the attack, but he is still very clear that his main task is still to guard Ribery.
It's just that, even though his main task is to defend, his offense is just as good. The pass distance of this foot sticking to the side is quite long, and because Wolfsburg's attack just now has been entangled between the midfielders, this pass sticking to the side is also unexpected by Bayern players. Before Alaba scrambled, De Bruyne controlled the ball at his feet, although Alaba immediately posted it, but on the side, De Bruyne has already got the ball and will no longer be afraid of one-on-one with Alaba. On the wing, he suddenly took a step forward, stepped forward with a big foot, and then directly crossed and kicked the ball out.
His cross flew straight towards the near post in the box. Gao Shunyao was there, and he had already run to the front quickly, answering his pass. Wolfsburg's attacking players cooperated very tacitly, and this time, it was De Bruyne who sent a wonderful pass to Gao Shunyao.
It's just that by Gao Shunyao's side, Boateng did not let go of his domination, when Gao Shunyao jumped up against the football, Boateng also jumped up with him, and the confrontation between the two continued, because of his interference, Gao Shunyao also lost the possibility of hitting the goal. However, even so, Ko Soon-yao snatched the ball in the air, and he flicked it straight towards Mandzukic with a beautiful header
Unlike just now, after Olic pulled out, there was only one striker in the Wolfsburg penalty area, Mandzukic, when Gao Shunyao came on the field, Wolfsburg's high points in the penalty area increased, and the threat was greatly enhanced. This time, Wolfsburg's attack is not over if Gao Shunyao is blocked alone, there is another threat in their penalty area
In the penalty area, Mandzukic faced the ball flying and chose to stop the ball at his feet. Under the interference, Gao Shunyao's ball pass was not too good, and the ball was too low for Mandzukic to shoot directly, so he could only stop for a moment and then choose to hit the goal. His approach made his shooting seem to be a step slower, but even so, he did not hesitate, and after stopping the ball, he still fired a low shot towards the bottom corner of the goal.
Mandzukic's shooting skills have never been doubted, but this time, the opponent he faced was not an ordinary player. In front of the goal, Neuer also jumped up suddenly, he stretched out his arms, swung violently, and blocked the ball off the line in front of the goal.
The attack on Wolfsburg, here in Neuer, came to an abrupt halt. They broke through all the interceptions in front of them, but in the end they still failed to overcome Neuer, Bayern's last gate. In the penalty area, Mandzukic was slightly disappointed, and he shook his head at Gao Shunyao on the side, indicating that he had done his best.
Gao Shunyao smiled and nodded to his teammates. He certainly doesn't doubt that Mandzukic has done his best, it's not his problem. The opponents are a bit tough, and they are one of the top powerhouses in Europe anyway, and even if Wolfsburg have the upper hand, it will not be easy to conquer them.
However, even if this attack failed to knock on their door, it was enough to make Gao Shunyao very satisfied. In any case, when he came on the pitch, Wolfsburg's attack did not stop there, but became stronger, which is an indisputable fact. Because of his play, Wolfsburg's ability to compete in the penalty area has obviously become much stronger, and De Bruyne's play on the wing is just as good, which also makes Wolfsburg's attack even more skyrocketing. It wasn't a problem that the attack didn't open the door and with 20 minutes to go, they could have tried again.
Wolfsburg's substitution was obviously a good move, because Gao Shunyao's play, their offensive power was suddenly revealed. Bayern's Robery, after 70 minutes of running, was tired after all, which also tilted the balance of the game in favor of Wolfsburg, who was the side with the advantage in this ball. In front of them, victory was in sight. To be continued.
