Section 440 Relaxation
Strictly speaking, this attack of Wolfsburg is actually not such a sharp counterattack. Fastest update access: . Although it took them a short time to break the ball from the front court to the back court to pass to Mandzukic's feet, there was nothing particularly surprising about the whole process, whether it was the joint encirclement in the backcourt, the coordinated rush on the wing, or the pass after the center attracted the defense and made the teammates press, these are nothing unusual. Tactically, Wolfsburg's offense was anything but unusual, and it could even be said that their offense was mediocre and nothing new or extraordinary.
But having said that, even the most insipid tactics can produce great results if they are used effectively on the court. Although Wolfsburg's attack is simple, it is very fast, and it is aimed at the weaknesses of Dort's 'Monter' shortcomings, and their attack can also be said to have worked wonders.
In this game, in fact, both sides can be said to be remnants. Both of them were substitutes, and they all suffered a lot of trouble because of it. Wolfsburg have conceded the goal, and at the moment, Sarr has made an important mistake. After he was bypassed by Mandzukic's run, he was not able to keep up in time, but ran to the 'goal' line of the ball, trying to save the ball on the 'goal' line.
This practice made the 'goalkeeper' Weidenfeller helpless. There is a 'goalkeeper' in front of the 'goalkeeper', but the defender runs to save the ball, which is completely unaware of his defensive task. This kid is so inexperienced, and it's really bad luck to play with him.
In desperation, Weidenfeller could only choose to attack. He could only rush forward to grab the ball at Mandzukic's feet. It's not that he doesn't know that Mandzukic's 'shooting' skills are very 'fine', and he can 'shoot' a dead corner to make himself helpless, but at this moment, he has no more choices.
He can only take a gamble that he can block Mandzukic.
However, in the face of his attack, Mandzukic appeared quite calm, and he did not rush to 'shoot' the 'goal'. Instead, in front of Weidenfeller, he took a step to the side with the ball, dodged his attack, and left him behind.
Didn't play for two months. Mandzukic is also clearly suffocated. He doesn't want to play so simply, he wants to play something fun. In front of the goal, he passed the goalkeeper, and then glanced at Sarr standing on the goalkeeper line. He pushed the ball out with one kick.
In his opinion, this is already an empty 'door'.
He wanted to block the ball at the goal, but Mandzukic believed that his shot could get around him.
Mandzukic was quite satisfied with his 'shooting' skills, and he believed that his 'shot' from the corner could immediately bring Wolfsburg back into the score. I didn't play for two months, and as soon as I got on the field, I saved the disadvantage for Wolfsburg, and this kind of return is enough to be satisfying.
With a kick out, Mandzukic was even ready to celebrate. His hand was raised. The cheers have also been raised to his throat, scoring goals himself to help the team salvage the situation, and he seems to have seen that he has become the hero of the team again.
However, there were no problems with his other preparations, except for his pushing.
The football rushed towards the dead corner, but the angle was off, just next to the 'goal' post of the ball's 'goal', and the football that should have entered the blind corner was attached to the 'goal' post. Slide out of the ball 'goal'!
Faced with an empty 'door' that was unguarded, Mandzukic actually missed with one kick!
Around the pitch, an unbelievable sigh rang out. No one expected that they had been waiting for Mandzukic for a long time. But Mandzukic's return was not a victory, it was a missed opportunity. It took a lot of effort for Rodriguez and Gao Shunyao to send the ball to the front court and to his feet, but he actually 'shot' the ball wide.
Fans of the ball find it incredible, and Mandzukic's 'shooting' skills have always been deeply trusted. But who knows, he actually went wrong at a critical moment. Standing on the court, Gao Shunyao looked at Mandzukic's 'shot' and 'goal', and he was speechless, and he didn't expect this result.
Mandzukic's comeback is also something he has been looking forward to for a long time. He thought that after a long break, Mandzukic was impatient to play and ready to score for his team. However, he forgot that after such a long break, no matter how good a player is, it is impossible to fully maintain his condition. Mandzukic may have recovered physically, but his form is clearly problematic.
This ball, if it were him in normal times, he would never have a problem, but this time he 'shot' it was missed. Obviously, the injury has had an impact on his poor form, and this impact is completely unconsidered. Mandzukic is not the team's big leg, but a player who needs to get back in shape!
And his deviation almost caused Wolfsburg to suffer the biggest blow. The fact that such a desperate counter-attack did not score was too big a blow for Wolfsburg.
Seeing his mistakes, Mandzukic was almost stunned, and he didn't expect that he had not played for two months, and his footwork had already become unfamiliar to this step. It was supposed to be a beautiful goal from a dead corner, a goal that made the opponent cry, but he actually 'shot' it wide.
Mandzukic's heart was filled with endless chagrin. At this time, he was also complaining that he had to be so cheap, he had already passed the empty "door" of the "doorman", he could just push it with a kick, and he had to hit the dead corner when he was full, and he was simply looking for trouble. And in the end, he also had a problem because of this goal, and he counterattacked well, and he completely failed here.
On the court, Mandzukic held his head and was speechless for a while. He made big mistakes and got the team in trouble.
Empty 'goal' is the biggest blow to a team's morale. After such a blow, a team's confidence is often damaged, because it is afraid of another problem, and it is often unable to launch another attack. If a team has the upper hand in the game, such a problem may not be particularly obvious, but in a stalemate game, to miss such a good opportunity is to give up the opportunity to counterattack to the opponent.
Wolfsburg now, absolutely dare not say that it completely defeated Dort 'Mont', at such a time, it would be strange if Dort 'Mont' did not fight back.
On the field, Dort 'Monde' did not leave too much time for Wolfsburg to reflect, Mandzukic did not enter the empty 'goal', which made Wolfsburg's morale plummet, and Dort 'Monde' had already launched a quick counterattack. The ball was thrown away by Weidenfeller and fell to Durm on the left flank. Durm took the ball and ran up front, and without waiting for the opponent's defense to get closer, he passed the ball to Kyle in the middle, completing the offensive excess.
Dort 'Monde' counterattacked, no less slow. Kyle got the ball and immediately moved forward with it. This is not his forte, but while Wolfsburg is still in the 'chaos' and 'chaos', Dort's 'Mont' overall pressure is obviously greater.
The hearts of the Wolfsburg players are already 'chaotic', and as long as they create a situation where the soldiers are pressing, their formation will also be 'chaotic'.
Sure enough, as he expected, his action of pressing with the ball made Gustavo rush immediately. In the face of the opponent's defense, Kyle immediately sent the ball forward and sent it to the feet of Royce. Reus got the ball up the middle, and as he turned, he accelerated and sprinted towards Wolfsburg's position.
In front of him, Shaheen greeted him. But his stepping forward also caused a vacancy behind him, and Mkhitaryan took advantage of the vacancy in time to 'insert' him behind his back. And farther away, next to the penalty area, Lewandowski has also begun to run away from Kjaer, looking for opportunities.
The Wolfsburg defense line was also torn apart at once. Their defence was also tight, with Mkhitaryan and Lewandowski coming forward together, and Reus having two points on the ball, leaving the Wolfsburg defence at a loss.
Who will Royce's pass to? This makes it difficult for them to tell. Lewandowski's 'shooting' skills are better, but Mkhitaryan's impact is also very threatening, who will be the most terrifying one, and it also loosened the Wolfsburg front a little for a while.
And this loosening is exactly what Royce wants to see. And after seeing this loosening, he didn't think about passing the ball to anyone. Just above the midfield, Royce suddenly made a long 'shot' with his feet, and the football suddenly flew out and formed a bombardment towards the ball 'goal'!
The sudden 'shot' and 'door' were completely unexpected by Wolfsburg. Benaglio in front of the 'door' jumped up quickly, but he was still one step slower. The football was shot by Royce from a distance, directly to the upper right corner of the ball 'goal', and the football with the sound of the wind directly formed a broken 'goal' and hung into the upper corner of the goal 'goal'!
Just after Wolfsburg's attack was not smooth, Dort 'Monde' seized the opportunity and scored the second goal extremely quickly!
Royce's goal made the fans on the scene once again clamour, but in the midst of the uproar, Gao Shunyao was a little quiet.
That's not to say that he still wants to fight back, and he is 2-0 down, but he also realizes that there is no hope in this game. It's just that this failure made him a little relieved.
Since the beginning of this season, Wolfsburg has been in frequent situations, and the pressure on the players has been very high, and the two-line battle is not suitable for the weak team after all, which can be regarded as a lesson they have learned from personal experience. It's hard for a team to just throw in the towel, at least until the week comes, and they're still thinking about how to persevere. But now, losing to Dort 'Mengde', Gao Shunyao also realized that it would not make much sense to persist any longer.
With a 7-point difference, I'm afraid it's hard to catch up. This season's champion, there really is nothing going on with Wolfsburg. However, this is not an absolute bad thing. After all, with the burden of the league removed, Wolfsburg's players can play more easily in many games. In this way, they also have the ability to play in the Champions League wholeheartedly.
The league title, they've already won it. And how far can they go in the Champions League? Perhaps this is the most important question for Wolfsburg to think about next.
