Section 524 Counteroffensive
If someone asks what is the most 'outstanding' of Magath's team, then almost everyone will unanimously answer that Magath's team may not be able to do anything else, but in terms of physical strength, it is definitely the most commendable thing. , the latest chapter access: . For other teams, the end of the season, overtime, these words together are basically synonymous with physical exhaustion, but for Wolfsburg, such a thing simply cannot happen.
On the pitch, Simonny quickly realized this, and with the arrival of extra time, the advantage of the Wolfsburg players became more and more obvious in the confrontation between the two sides. Originally, Simonny thought that the damage caused by overtime would be the same for both sides, but he soon found out that perhaps for Wolfsburg, this kind of physical exertion has long been commonplace.
On the pitch, Wolfsburg attacked. At the back, Rong gave the ball to Turan, and they still started from the wing. Turan, who received the ball, stopped the ball on the halfway line and wanted to break forward. But beside him, Gabi also approached his right side at the first time, blocking his possible 'sex' of acceleration. In the face of the defense, Turan immediately flicked the ball to the left, without giving Gabi any possibility to steal, and protected the football in the midfield.
However, to his left, Raul Garcia was already running fast and wanted to flank Turan with Gabi. However, just as he hit the side, Turan suddenly flicked the ball to the left, and he almost touched Raul Garcia's body, completed a pluck pass, and while dodging Garcia's up-and-comb, he also flicked the ball behind him, and then made a beautiful turn to the left, which had already allowed Garcia to run out of position.
Compared to regular time, after going into overtime. Atletico don't have much of a physical advantage, which allows Turan to play his technical advantage better. After 90 minutes, Turan seemed to have no physical problems at all. He still controls the football firmly under his feet, and there is no 'chaos' under his feet. Didn't give the opponent the slightest chance.
Although after this flick, he also turned to the halfway line, and instead of breaking forward, he walked backwards, but he still had a firm grip on the ball. Turning around, he also looked up, trying to find a way to get the ball, but looking at the front, Felipe locked the flanks tightly. And Gabi blocked the gap that Garcia leaked. Turan wants to pass the ball, and it doesn't seem to be that easy.
Although Atletico Madrid's players have weakened their ability to fight due to the decline in physical strength, their sense of the game is still there after all. Gabi's defense was quite 'impressive' and did not give Turan a chance to pass the ball. He was not alone, when Turan got the ball, Costa behind him also rushed up at this time, wanting to form another pinch attack on Turan.
If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if one person can't do it, it will be two - Atletico Madrid's defensive ability has indeed dropped a lot, but the defensive mentality has not weakened at all. This is already known. They were also forming a siege on Turan. At the same time that Costa stepped forward, Garcia, who had just been passed, had already run over again, and the two of them tried to break the ball at his feet again.
Face the bag clip. Turan didn't bother with them much either. He slammed the ball forward, accelerated a step, and avoided the two men. For the current state, Turan can see very clearly, Atletico Madrid's players can no longer keep up with the physical strength, and now he wants to pass, he doesn't need too many 'fancy' skills at all, and directly competes with body and explosiveness, but is the most direct thing.
Really. As he expected, his acceleration prevented Costa from keeping up with him. And Garcia though closer. But he couldn't stop Turan's dribbling, so he could only push him hard. Trying to affect the balance of his possession. And this exertion made Turan stumble under his feet, and his running speed towards the middle circle slowed down because of this, and it seemed that his feet were a little scattered.
Seeing such a scene, Thiago in the middle and Adrian in the forward line also rushed over at the same time. They were also involved defensively, trying to prevent Turan from getting the ball. Even if the Atletico players are very tired, they still take the game very seriously, and for the sake of a Turan, they have put in five defenders, doing everything to get the ball down.
However, although such efforts were good, they were still helpless in the end. In the face of Adrian and Thiago, Turan suddenly grabbed the ball at his feet, shook his center of gravity, and his body half-turned, which had already allowed Thiago's defense to run out of position. Garcia had not yet caught up behind him, and Thiago was shaken off by him at this point, and on the midfield line, he finally found a breakthrough.
However, in the face of this breakthrough, Turan did not carry the ball forward anymore. He suddenly kicked the ball and kicked it towards Perisic in front of him!
After a series of dribbles, almost everyone thought that Turan wanted a hard attack in the middle. And everyone can see that if Turan can really enter Atletico Madrid's backfield under such a heavy siege, then after the game, the major giants will definitely treat him as a superstar. In the semi-finals of the Champions League, the opportunity to become famous by a goal is in front of you, which is not something that everyone can encounter, and some players may not be able to fight for such an opportunity in their lifetime.
However, in the face of such an opportunity, Turan did not choose to go on his own. He completed his attack with a one-kick pass. Such a choice made the ball 'fans' a little embarrassed, and they sighed that they could not see a strong break in the middle of this game. However, this choice also made the teammates excited, and they could see what a wise choice it was.
Wolfsburg is playing against Atletico Madrid, a team that has never been known for its clean style. Although Turan relied on small skills to toss and turn, and put five of his players into defense in a row, at the end of the day, his position was always near the halfway line. He didn't break forward, so that the Atletico players didn't hurt the black hand, but if he really ran forward, then no matter what he asked, the Atletico players would definitely foul without saying a word.
No one is a fool, and anyone can do such things as tactical fouls. If you want to drive straight into the middle lane, this kind of thing is too difficult, even if the Turanian technique is good, this can't be done.
However, this pass made a lot of difference.
Turan's run just now, although it did not directly form an offensive, but his movement with the ball still attracted a lot of attention, and the five players before and after put into the counter-robbery, although it made Atletico's defense look oppressive, but because of this pressure, their backfield now has a leak' hole. Thiago, who was supposed to be responsible for filling in the back, had pressed up, although Gabi ran backwards again, but he was originally close to the left wing, and he couldn't run to the other side for a while, and at this time, the football passed to the midfield, completely aiming at Atletico Madrid's defensive gap!
For 90 minutes, Atletico barely had such defensive gaps. When their players have enough energy, they can take advantage of the confrontation, and it is absolutely impossible for Wolfsburg to tear out such a big gap. However, the Atletico players are now running out of energy, and their vacancy has finally appeared.
In midfield, Perisic, who had lost his restraint, had already got the ball and ran towards the penalty area with the ball to face the Atletico backline. On Atletico Madrid's defensive line, Miranda had to meet his position at this time and rushed straight up, but, in the face of the defense, Perisic picked the ball and picked the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
There, Mandzukic had already rushed up. Wolfsburg doesn't have a habit of going it alone, and team-mates are something players have to do. While Perisic rushed up, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic were both doing the impact together, and now, they have both gone inside.
And this time for the attack, Perisic chose to pick the ball up and pass it to Mandzukic. His idea is obviously to let Mandzukic rely on his own 'excellent' header skills to complete an attack. However, beside Mandzukic, Godin was also following Mandzukic closely, and when the football flew over, he relied on his strength to resist Mandzukic and did not give him any chance to jump.
In the penalty area, Atletico's defense still did not relax in the slightest, although Godin was also very tired, but his physical condition still ensured his ability to fight. Wolfsburg still struggled to score goals. However, Godin's confrontation was intense, but after a long match, it was impossible for him to completely block Mandzukic. Despite the fierce confrontation, Mandzukic did not lose all his chances after all, he still managed to lift his foot, and in the face of the falling football, he kicked the ball on the ball and kicked it towards the middle!
This opportunity, even if Mandzukic couldn't take advantage of it, still turned it into a cross!
In the middle, Gao Shunyao was firmly blocked behind the defenders who had come over, and Atletico Madrid's defense was finally broken by Wolfsburg. Although Alderweireld was following closely, it was almost impossible to stop Gao Shunyao with his strength.
In the restricted area, Gao Shunyao jumped high. Facing the falling soccer ball in the air, he smashed the ball out with a fierce headbutt.
During the 90 minutes of the game, Gao Shunyao never scored. In the face of Courtois's defense, Gao Shunyao did not contribute much in the 180 minutes of the two-legged game. It stands to reason that the time of extra time can no longer be regarded as regular game time, so it is equivalent to saying that Gao Shunyao did not play very well when facing Courtois. However, even so, Gao Shunyao still didn't give up after all - even if he didn't play for 180 minutes, it didn't matter. As long as you can score in extra time, it's the same. This goal can still bring victory, and in this game, victory will still belong to Wolfsburg! q
