Section 405 Comparison

The manager made it clear in the dressing room that he was going to give up the league, which may be a big blow to many teams. But for the current Wolf Castle, this incident did not arouse much disgust from them. Because they know very well that what Magath says is basically the truth, and the reason why he says it is because for Wolfsburg, the next game against Manchester United is very important, and before the big game, telling the players that they don't have to be angry about the past failures, but that they have to focus on the goals ahead, which is what a coach should do.

The players know this very well and they understand how important the next game is. If a team is not strong enough, there is always a trade-off. It would have been very smart to save some effort and reduce consumption on certain fronts. After all, it is too difficult to fight on the third front and achieve good results on the third front, and there were only four such things as the Triple Crown in the decades before 2000, which is not an honor that can be easily obtained. It's not a shame to give up on one front, but if you don't play well on multiple fronts, you'll be completely embarrassed.

Of course, the current football world is different from before, with the reform, some of the strong teams in the football world have become stronger and stronger, in recent years, the treble, or the team that is likely to win the treble has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, not a lot at all, but those teams, after all, are still giants, if it is not a giant, but just an ordinary team, if you want to race on multiple fronts, it will often not have any good results.

This has been proven many times, and just recently, Dortmund proved this truth once again.

This season's Dortmund, on two fronts, has been trying to bite Bayern to death. And until a while ago, they did a good job. However, the impact of the injury did not take their toll away from them, and after the win over Wolfsburg, they finally showed signs of fatigue.

Borussia Dortmund did not play well in the upcoming games after beating Wolfsburg. They had a tough task this season, having suffered a group of death in the Champions League, and until the final round of the tournament, they were still in the bottom third of the group. For them, it is very likely that a loss will return them to the situation they were back in. In the league, they have met the top three teams in the league three times in the four rounds, and they have also encountered the devil's schedule. The pressure on both fronts is very high, but they have encountered a wave of injuries, and no matter how much they grit their teeth and hold on, they are just as busy taking care of themselves.

It was at this time that Dortmund ushered in a clash with Bayern. Dortmund, on the other hand, played on their own home turf and did not give them much of an advantage. In the face of Bayern, they lost 0-3 at once, and this game also completely widened the gap between Dortmund and Bayern, and even made the problems they have been gathering for a concentrated explosion. Although after losing to Bayern, they still held on again, but then, in the game against Bayer Leverkusen, Dortmund lost again, losing two of three games in a row, and suddenly opened up the gap with Bayern.

Strong opponents have fallen into the sand, and Bayern seems to be safely included in the league championship this season. And Dortmund is going to have a difficult situation, now they have 15 games, 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, 34 points and Wolfsburg points, a slight advantage in goal difference, but basically there is no way to continue to compete for the championship, and what is even more sad is that they are not only third in the league, but also third in the Champions League group, which is the looming trouble.

On the contrary, Bayer Leverkusen, no one has paid much attention to them before this season, and they did give up early in this year's Champions League game, almost no play, but because they don't play double lines, they have been biting the opponent in front of them in the league in a low-key manner. After 15 rounds, they have 37 points, surpassing Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund to become second in the league.

Their good ranking seems to prove once again the importance of a reasonable allocation of energy, and of course, their second-place status in the league has not been taken seriously by too many. After all, almost halfway through the season, there is still a 4-point gap between the top of the table, which is not a particularly good result, and Leverkusen is a little worse in the end, it is a surprise to have such a result in the first half of the season, and people do not believe that they may win the championship, but it is undeniable that they can run ahead of Wolfsburg and Dortmund, which is really surprising.

And now Dortmund, like Wolfsburg, needs to focus on the Champions League. But they are not as good as Wolfsburg, because they put too much energy into the league some time ago, and they are now in the Champions League, which is also quite difficult. Competing against Napoli and Arsenal is not an easy task after all, and their final round is full of pressure, as long as 90 minutes are not good enough, then for them, the season is basically completely reimbursed.

If you can't make your own choices and put yourself in the right position, the consequences are so terrible.

Compared to them, Wolfsburg is already a better one. At least in this last game, as long as they can win or even just get a draw, they can qualify as top of the group, and even if they play a little worse and only finish second in the group, they can at least play in the Champions League, which is much better than Borussia Dortmund.

It has been said that happiness is something that can only be obtained by comparing yourself to others, and that is the case for the Wolfsburg players. If you look at Bayer Leverkusen, they feel like they're playing badly in the league, but if you look at Borussia Dortmund, they think they're pretty good. And if you look at the opponent of this game, Manchester United...... They feel quite happy.

Manchester United's situation is poor, that is, the opponent Wolfsburg players already feel a little pitiful for them. Since the last time the two teams met, Manchester United has been clamoring for a change of manager, and it is now December, and the Premier League has passed 15 rounds, and this voice is getting louder and louder. Manchester United, like Wolfsburg, is also the defending champion last season, and Wolfsburg is not good now, but it is still in the Champions League in the top four of the league, but Manchester United is now in ninth place in the league, and the results are still shockingly poor.

At the beginning of the season, if the change of manager was still an excuse for bad results, then after so long, the results are still not good, it is a big problem.

When Alex Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United, in addition to the fact that the team's results were not very good in the years when he first took over, his team's results were also in the top three of the league at worst. Manchester United fans are accustomed to having some of the most consistent results in the league and, if underestimated, believe their side should at least have Champions League to play.

Of course, a change of manager will bring turmoil, which is something everyone knows, but under the influence of commercialization over the years, and the continuous accumulation of Manchester United, Manchester United has long been different, whether it is the squad or the funds, they should not be a mid-stream team, even if it is turbulence, but the current situation is still too much. Especially looking at this season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and other old enemies are playing very well, and Liverpool even shouted the slogan of wanting to win the championship, and Manchester United fans feel even more painful.

Ferguson has worked hard all his life to pull Liverpool off the throne, and it would be a big joke if Liverpool went back just one season after he retired.

In this case, Moyes is also under a lot of pressure. And for him, Manchester United's Champions League results are now passable, and they are already the last straw. If his team didn't play well enough in the league but did well enough in the Champions League, it would at least allow him to calm the anger of the fans, and he struggled to do so.

Manchester United have only lost one goal to Wolfsburg in the group, so they also take Wolfsburg very seriously. In this away game, Manchester United can be said to be elite and want to play this game with all their might.

In this game, Manchester United's goal position was still De Gea in goal, and above the back line, Rafael, Evans, Smalling and Evra served as the starters at the back. After being eaten raw by Gao Shunyao in the last game at Wolfsburg, Moyes also understood that for a team with momentum, some strong young people are needed, so this game has also made adjustments, not only the back line has changed, but even the midfield line, Manchester United did not use Carrick this time, in order to deal with Wolfsburg, they let Phil Jones and Fellaini play as the back together, wanting to rely on their muscles to block Wolfsburg's attack.

Of course, the stubborn defense at the back does not bring victory, and if you want to win, you have to rely on the attack in the frontcourt. In this regard, Moyes is also very aware that in this game, he also made adjustments in the frontcourt, with the veteran Ryan Giggs on the left and Valencia on the right, and in the middle, he used Shinji Kagawa, trying to create some chances with his familiarity with Wolfsburg.

And in the end, in this game, Manchester United was at the forefront of Rooney. Van Persie has already suffered an injury due to overuse in the previous game. Although it seems that he has been getting better recently, he is still on the bench. Manchester United also pinned their hopes on their England number one star in the hope that he could bring the Reds a crucial victory.

However, if Manchester United can really get what they want, they won't be where they are now. If Wayne Rooney could really dominate the Wolfsburg stadium, United would not finish ninth in the league. Although Wayne Rooney had high hopes from Manchester United, he was immediately disappointed as soon as the game began.
