Although July is far from the end of the summer transfer season, several of Wolfsburg's main players have chosen to stay in the team, which also makes Wolfsburg no longer worry about their team being divided and dismembered. I have to admit that it is really a good thing for the team to have money, and in this era when football has become more and more dependent on capital, if you want to make your team stronger, money is indispensable.

Some teams are short-lived, but because of financial problems, they will soon fall apart, and if you look at how many of the seven sisters of Serie A are left and where the other teams have gone, you can see how important money is to the team. Compared with those teams, Wolfsburg is not famous and has not many honors, but fortunately, they have money, which makes them not end there.

The players stayed in the team, so that Wolfsburg passed a summer without any loss of strength. On the contrary, because they have invested in new players and the young people have grown further, Wolfsburg has improved a bit compared to before. Compared with the life-and-death lineup they fought with Bayern last season, most of them have been retained, and this lineup is enough for them to continue to fight against strong opponents in the new season.

Being able to get rid of the fate of being disintegrated was enough for the upper echelons of Wolfsburg to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the upper echelons of Wolfsburg can breathe a sigh of relief at this time, their players are not the time to breathe a sigh of relief. On the contrary, it is a time for the players to get nervous because the new season is already in sight.

It's July, and Gao Shunyao's rest must also be over. The team has already started preparations for the new season, and I have to go back and report on it. After a short break. I also have to do recovery training in the new season, before the start of the season. Stocked up on enough stamina to prepare for the new season.

Tight time. made Gao Shunyao still feel that he didn't rest enough. But with the team game just around the corner, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. Although he is also worried that the lack of rest will cause his physical strength to keep up in the new season, he can only hope that his body is not so fragile.

After all, a new journey has begun, and the league schedule waits for no one.

Of course, before the start of the new season, there is another very important thing that must be done. After the players are back in the team. Magath also called all the players together and told them the most important thing.

"We have a lot to do at the start of the season. A new season, a new training plan, a new tactical set-up, these are all indispensable. But before that stuff, we also have one thing that needs to be explained the most upfront, which is the new season, what are our goals for the season. ”

There will be a lot of changes in the new season. The players are all aware of this, and in all the changes, the most important thing is not the tactics. It's not training, it's about the team's mission changing, and that's one of the things that are inevitable.

What is the goal of a team. This is something that any team must determine before the start of the season. Especially the strong teams have a clear goal. They will be able to move forward more steadily. Last season, the Wolfsburg players could say that they gave almost everything to win the league. They also have to admit that if they weren't motivated to win the title, it would have been difficult for them to make it to the final stages of the league. And the team's goals for the new season, they are now also curious to know. What kind of results the team wants to achieve in the new season is also a very curious thing.

"For the new season, we have two main goals. One is in the league, we have to continue to guarantee results – maybe it doesn't have to be the league title, but the top three have to be guaranteed. We need Champions League qualification and we can't be wrong about that. ”

Magath's first goal for the team can be said to be not surprising at all, and even Gao Shunyao was slightly regretful when he heard it.

This requirement is already very low, which naturally makes Gao Shunyao a little disappointed. He also thought in his heart that he hoped that his team would continue to strive for the championship in the league, and although there was no special difference between winning the championship and defending the championship in terms of honor, the difficulty was different after all. One championship may be accidental, two times I think it is strength, and if it is three consecutive championships, it is basically certain that it has ruled an era - although he knows that his team's strength is not good, but in the bottom of his heart, Gao Shunyao still can't suppress his thoughts.

But apparently, the Wolfsburg team is much more rational than him. Although they also have the same hopes as Gao Shunyao, they will not gamble with all their might because of a little hope. After all, the players lost the gamble, and it was over if they patted their butts and changed places, but the rebuilding of the team is a very difficult thing. The team definitely wants to be steady, not to gamble.

Wolfsburg did not make such a request that they must win the championship again, and it was also considered practical. After all, they still have some changes this season. Nemanja Matic left the team, Olic is a year older, it is not known how much strength he can play, whether the new players can adapt quickly, how long it will take the team to find form, whether there will be injuries, these are not easy to say, although Wolfsburg is looking forward to results, but these problems they have to consider.

If you want to win the Bundesliga, it is actually not easier than La Liga and the Premier League. Even if the team has the slightest problem, it is impossible to win the championship. Last season, Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich competed in the end, and both of them ran their points above 85 points. For the Bundesliga, which has only 34 rounds, the score is simply incredible. Can they repeat what they did last season? The upper echelons of Wolfsburg didn't dare to bet either.

They would have liked that, but it would have been too much to force it. Therefore, all they ask is to guarantee the top three and try their best to achieve better results.

Such a requirement is not too difficult, the entire Bundesliga can now take the team to shoot Bayern, Dort two teams can compete with Wolfsburg in terms of strength, the top three requirements, basically normal play can be achieved, that is to say, for the league, Wolfsburg's requirements are actually just hope not to be too bad.

Last season, Wolfsburg won the league title, which made them quite proud of this accolade, and it was equivalent to proving their strength in the league. And with strength, it is natural to look forward to having a status and achievements that match the strength. And what kind of status is the level that a strong team should have? At least make sure you can play in the Champions League, that's the most basic requirement.

Arsene Wenger of the Premier League said that every year there is a Champions League to play, and it is a championship. Although this statement sounds a little awkward, I have to admit that it is not easy to have the Champions League to play every year. In European football over the years, those who can really do such a thing, that is, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal and a few other teams, even Barcelona and Milan have not been able to play in the Champions League, which also shows that it is not easy to ensure that the Champions League is played every year.

Wolfsburg's request for this result is also very much in line with their identity, they are not giants after all, and it is not too late to stabilize themselves at the top of the league before thinking about other things. Moreover, this season, Wolfsburg's requirements for the team are not just the same, in addition to the league results, they also have other games to play.

"This season, I think 70 points in the league will almost guarantee us a place in the top three. Compared to last season, we can save a lot of energy. Where should we put all this energy? I've figured this out for you. In addition to training harder, our focus is on the Champions League. Our goal this year is the last four of the Champions League. ”

In front of the team, after talking about his league requirements for the players, Magath also put forward his requirements for the Champions League results. When the request for the semi-finals came out of his mouth, Magath was also paying close attention to the expressions of the players around him. He saw the consternation, the disbelief in the eyes of the players, and the excitement of jumping on the band.

These looks, all of which made him extremely satisfied.

Although the Champions League semi-finals may sound like a semi-final, everyone knows that the requirements are not lower than those of the league winners. What the league needs is long-term stability, and sometimes it can gain some advantages by abusing weak teams, but in the Champions League, what is needed is to really play with enough style against strong opponents, and it can be said that it is more difficult. To play a game like this, he needs the players to have the courage and spirit to try, and such players are good players.

"In five years, Bayern have reached three finals, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke in the semi-finals. In recent years, the strong teams in the Bundesliga have achieved very good results in the Champions League. In the past five years, Wolfsburg have also won two league titles. But our European results are much worse than other teams. ”

Looking at the looks of the players, Magath also slowly spoke. His voice was calm, but what he said was stimulating the players. There's nothing more exciting than telling them that you're too weak, and even though they know it's Magath motivating them, they still have something different in their hearts.

That kind of thing is the courage to try to compete with strong teams.

'We're a strong team, we want to prove ourselves and the league alone isn't enough. Do you remember how Dortmund turned over after being called a nest? They reached the Champions League final. They washed away their stains, and now, it's our turn. This season, let's work together, our minimum requirement is the Champions League semi-finals, last year we managed to stop Bayern in the league, so this season we have to prove that we are enough to compete with any team in Europe!
