Section 420 The most difficult week

If one goal only gave Wolfsburg a slight upper hand, then the second goal basically sealed the victory. Marseille, who were playing away from home, had not been very good in attack, and after being 2-0 down, their hopes of a comeback became slim, and they played more and more casually.

In this case, Wolfsburg immediately made adjustments. They replaced Perisic with Musassisoko, moved Turan to the left, and further strengthened their defense with Musa, who was actually a midfielder on the wing, and in this case, Marseille was not able to find a chance to score in the end, although Valbuena was still trying to make some sporadic attacks, but neither Ayew nor Gignac could cooperate well with him, and also let Marseille's offensive collapse hastily.

In the end, the game was fixed on this scoreline. Wolfsburg won their first Champions League game this year. Compared to last year, the momentum of their Champions League this year seems to be more gratifying, with three points in the first game and showing good improvement in the game, Wolfsburg used this game to prove that their form is still there this season.

"The Wolfsburg victory is good news for the Bundesliga. It's always exciting to see the Bundesliga side win in the Champions League. Moreover, this year's league will feel a bit boring if it lacks competition from Wolfsburg. As the defending champions, they will show more strength to make the Bundesliga more exciting. ”

After the game, the German media also expressed their joy at Wolfsburg's victory. And their euphoria, except for the reasons of the Champions League. It's also because the league is more intense, which is not always a bad thing for the Bundesliga.

This year's Bundesliga. Almost all the media are bullish on Pep Guardiola's Bayern. However, after five rounds, Bayern have not been able to close the gap with Dortmund. Dortmund this year. It seems that they have regained their dominance in the league and are competing with Bayern again. In the future, the Wolfsburg players will play well and will definitely continue to work hard in the league. The Bundesliga hasn't had a really strong team play a big three game for many years, and if that happens this year, the Bundesliga will be even more exciting.

And maybe it's because his team's victory in the Champions League has stimulated the team's morale, or maybe it's because he scored two goals in a single game, which has really picked up Gao Shunyao's form. Maybe it's because of playing in Champions League teams like Bayer Leverkusen and Marseille. made Wolfsburg's nerves tense very tight, and the strength shown in the game was also very strong, and in the next game, Wolfsburg really played very well. In the face of Hoffenheim, the state shown by Wolfsburg was really surprising.

In this game, Wolfsburg basically used the same lineup in the game against Hoffenheim as in the Marseille game. And Wolfsburg proved once again that when they were using the full main line-up. Their quality is still very good.

In the face of Hoffenheim's operation, Wolfsburg took the lead tactically from the beginning, although Wolfsburg was playing away, but they still chose to take the initiative to attack. And their arrogance also made Hoffenheim very unhappy, and chose to rely on the home advantage to have a head-to-head attack with Wolfsburg.

However. Their choice happened to fall into the trap of Wolfsburg, which is now more worried. It's an opponent who defends with all his might, and for those who are willing to attack and fight with them head-on. There are many ways to do it in Wolfsburg.

Hoffenheim's onslaught allowed them to step into the trap themselves. Just ten minutes into the game, Wolfsburg's first attack was a success. After a link on the left side of the box, Perisiccili handed the ball to Gao Shunyao, who himself inserted directly into the box, and after he had attracted enough attention in the box, Gao Shunyao did not choose to give the ball to him. In the rib of the penalty area, Gao Shunyao gave the ball to Rodriguez who was inserted on the left side, and Rodriguez decisively chose to cut inside on the left side, and in front of the penalty area, he shot from a distance and sent the ball into the gate.

The 1-0 scoreline came very easily, and it was clearly just the beginning of Wolfsburg's attack. Soon, thanks to a corner, Wolfsburg managed to score again. This time, Wolfsburg actually didn't handle the corner very well, but compared to the previous games, this time they at least did a better job in the chaotic battle. Wolfsburg's high-altitude ball was played to Olic at the back point, although the ball was directly destroyed by the opponent, but in the penalty area, it was grabbed by Gao Shunyao. His shot hit the ankle of the opposing defender, and after a line change, the goalkeeper could only watch as the own goal rolled into the net and his team made up for another goal.

The score of 2-0 made Hoffenheim, who was playing at home, even more crazy to attack. But their attack only gave Wolfsburg more chances. Soon, Wolfsburg seized on a goal they had conceded on the attack and launched a quick counter-attack. Shahin's penetrating ground pass was sent directly to the feet of Gao Shunyao in the front court, but Gao Shunyao was not greedy, and immediately inserted the ball quickly, forming a single-knife Olich. This time, Olic did not disappoint, he shook the goalkeeper with a kick and nudged it to turn the score into 3-

At this point, the game can basically be declared over. Although after that, Hoffenheim's counter-attack allowed them to get a goal. However, whether it was 3-0 or 3-1, Wolfsburg won the same way.

The schedule of two games in a week, the injury of the main striker, did not break Wolfsburg. Although they had a tough first few games, it was clear that they were starting to get better against Hoffenheim.

What's even happier is that it's obviously not just the main players of Wolfsburg who are in good shape, even their substitute players, and their recent form has been greatly improved compared to before.

After the victory over Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg are facing the second round of the German Cup. In this game, Wolfsburg carried out a very large rotation, Gao Shunyao and other main players basically did not play, and Wolfsburg used their substitutes to play this game.

This year's German Cup is still not the main direction of Wolfsburg. It's tiring to play two games a week, and there's no need for them to let their main players play too much at this time. Compared with having to let the main force play, it may not be a good thing to let Marin and others, who have not been able to find their form for a long time, play more on the field.

This kind of game, even if it is lost, as long as it can make the players show their form, it can be said that it is very worthwhile. What's more, Wolfsburg's substitutes are not bad, and when they show their form, it is not so easy for the team to lose.

This game did give Wolfsburg a big surprise. Although Marin's form is still not very good, he is still a little inactive on the court. However, Wolfsburg's other substitute, Stindl, showed good form in this game.

As a substitute bought by Wolfsburg for 9 million, Stindl did not get as many opportunities as Marin immediately after arriving at Wolfsburg because of his fame. But in this game, he finally had a chance to shine, and he didn't miss it.

On the field, without the presence of Shahin, Turan and others, Wolfsburg's attack was almost undisciplined. Marin had high hopes, but the delay in improving made Stindall find an opportunity. During the game, he and the veteran Makoto Hasebe, who rotated out, almost shouldered the responsibility of organizing Wolfsburg. Although his technical and tactical awareness is not very good, he relies on decent passing and control to sort out the attack of Wolfsburg in an orderly manner. The opponent is a team like Aaron, who is not too strong, he seems to be almost omnipotent on the field, and his performance on the court is also extremely dazzling.

In the middle of the game, he scored a goal himself. And after Aaron launched a counter-attack to equalise, he assisted his team-mate to break the net again. With one goal and one assist, Wolfsburg won 2-1 in this game, which can be said to be entirely due to him. In this game, he also proved to the coach that he is more suitable to be the team's main substitute than Marin.

And this game also told people that Wolfsburg's substitutes are also quite good, even if they play double lines, they may not be able to do it.

After all, now that six rounds have passed, Wolfsburg has five wins and one loss, and still maintains fourth place in the standings. Even better than them, at this time, there are only five wins and one draw of Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Leverkusen, another strong team, is only on the same points as Wolfsburg, because of the advantage of goal difference, temporarily ranked ahead of them.

At this point in the game, Wolfsburg still did not fall behind. Mandzukic's injury doesn't seem to have had a bad impact on them. At least, in the games against Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille and Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg fought hard, but they still survived.

However, even so, the media is still not very optimistic about Wolfsburg, and in any case, as the defending champions, fourth in the league, it is not really something to be proud of.

And in the eyes of the media, these games cannot be regarded as a real test for Wolfsburg after all. Bayer Leverkusen are not weak, but they have not been able to give it their all against Wolfsburg with the Champions League looming. Marseille are quite strong, but the victory over them is a basket of wasted opportunities for Wolfsburg, and it is not satisfactory. Their state may be able to survive these not too strong opponents, but will they be able to survive in the face of real strong opponents?

In the face of a strong enemy, it is not okay to waste such an opportunity. With this kind of play, they may still fail when they encounter strong teams. And what worries the media the most is that during this time, Wolfsburg will not be able to avoid strong enemies. Because just after the German Cup, Wolfsburg is about to usher in the most devilish week.

On September 28, Wolfsburg will play Bayern Munich away. Then they are about to travel to England to take on Manchester United. Two games in a row, challenging two top teams, the real challenge has just begun. (To be continued.) )
