Section 430 Dzeko
Perhaps because of City's tactical choices, Manchester City could be said to have the upper hand in this game by the 30th minute. Their advantage made the fans quite excited, and for a while, they applauded their team's outstanding performance.
Although Dzeko's shot failed to score the goal, the Manchester City fans around the stadium still applauded the goal. Looking at Dzeko's performance in front of him, if there is anyone more excited than Manchester City fans, Gao Shunyao is definitely one of them.
The players affected by Dzeko's goal were not only Manchester City fans, but also Wolfsburg players. Seeing the opposing star in power, it is naturally impossible for them to be indifferent. Among the players in Wolfsburg, the one who feels the deepest about this ball is probably none other than Gao Shunyao.
After all, from the beginning of the game, he cared a lot about Dzeko's performance.
One of the most eye-catching topics ahead of this game was that Dzeko was going to face his old boss again. As Manchester City's main striker, Dzeko has high expectations from his team in this game, and whether he can play in excellent form in the game is also a topic that many media have been concerned about.
The relationship between Dzeko and Wolfsburg can be said to be quite complicated. Dzeko is a player who grew up in Wolfsburg in the true sense, became famous at Wolfsburg, and became a world-class player here. He made his debut in the small league, Wolfsburg gave him the opportunity to make him known, and his fame was absolutely inseparable from the help of Wolfsburg.
However, Dzeko eventually left Wolfsburg. In the season when Gao Shunyao first arrived at Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg hired McLaren as the head coach, and after half a season, their results were amazing, and McLaren's use of Dzeko was also unlawful. Dzeko was disheartened and finally decided on a transfer. Although when he was in Wolfsburg, he was in the limelight, but this one left. But after all, it is missing the glory that some small players should have when they go to the big team.
The encounter was not a pleasant memory for Wolfsburg and Dzeko. And Dzeko will not blame Wolfsburg's rookie McLaren. People are also quite curious. The encounter of players with their old owners is a topic that will never go out of style, and especially the encounter of striker players with their old owners will cause many people to be curious about it.
in this world. I'm afraid that there are not many things more interesting than being abandoned by the team, and the player who broke off with the old owner shows off his power in front of his old master, this kind of blatant ridicule of his old master in front of everyone for not knowing how to read people, no matter how you look at it, it is a very interesting thing. On the side of the Premier League, someone in London City once staged a wild run of 80 meters after facing the old owner's goal, and in La Liga, the two giants have had similar embarrassments, as for Serie A, there are not a few people like Milan City, and the players retaliate. It's always been a topic that people care about.
This game, long before it starts, how Dzeko will play has always been a topic of discussion.
Of course, when people are talking about this, they don't forget to ask Dzeko what he thinks. And Dzeko obviously knows very well that killing the old master is not a good thing, and before the game, Dzeko did not forget his parent team. When he mentioned Wolfsburg in front of the media, he not only reminded Manchester City that his parent club Wolfsburg is a strong team, but also mentioned his glory days at Wolfsburg. He even publicly stated that if he had scored a goal against Wolfsburg, he would never have celebrated.
His statement made the media full of praise for him. But in the Wolf Castle team, Gao Shunyao was hard to be happy when he heard this.
Before the game was played, he was wondering if he should celebrate. This kind of statement that Wolfsburg goals are so taken for granted makes Gao Shunyao quite dissatisfied. Although he also admits that Dzeko is indeed a top striker. But Gao Shunyao still didn't think that he could easily defeat Wolfsburg.
Even, Gao Shunyao has always hoped in his heart that he can play better than him in this game When facing other teams, Gao Shunyao rarely has the idea of comparing with the opponent's striker, but in the face of Dzeko, he has such thoughts.
Because Dzeko used to be a star at Wolfsburg, he can also be said to be the target that Gao Shunyao needs to catch up with at Wolfsburg.
In fact, if you really talk about it, Dzeko is only three years older than Gao Shunyao, and Gao Shunyao has basically won all the honors he won in Wolf Castle. There was nothing between the two of them, and Gao Shunyao couldn't remember Dzeko's honor, but what made Gao Shunyao care a lot was that there have always been people in Germany who compare the two of them, and Gao Shunyao is always the one who falls behind.
When Gao Shunyao entered Wolfsburg, it was just when Dzeko left, and the two of them basically had no intersection in Wolfsburg, so Gao Shunyao's understanding of Dzeko has always been known through coaches, teammates, fans and the media. He has listened to Dzeko's level and Dzeko's skills countless times, and I have to say that these comments are really unpleasant sometimes.
From the day he entered the team, the people around him kept telling him how good Dzeko really is. No matter how much he has contributed to the team, fans still believe that he is not as good as Dzeko. Dzeko's skills are more detailed, Dzeko knows how to score goals, Dzeko also won the championship for the team, and Dzeko's value has set a Bundesliga record, which has been repeatedly mentioned.
And because his entry into the team and Dzeko's departure from the team occurred at about the same time, some people believe that he can be regarded as Dzeko's successor. Maybe it's because people always like to cherish what they've lost, in the eyes of many people, Dzeko will always be stronger than Gao Shunyao, and his successor can only be said to be always on the road.
This statement has always made Gao Shunyao very dissatisfied. How strong Dzeko is, Gao Shunyao has long wanted to see, he doesn't care about others, but he wants to see the former stars of this team.
And I have to say that from the perspective of his performance on the field, Dzeko's level is really high. To be able to shoot with his feet in such a tight defense, his level is really admirable. Wolfsburg, a former star, does have a set, this has to be admitted.
However, no matter how good the shot is, it has to be judged by whether it is scored or not. Seeing that the opponent's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Gao Shunyao's heart also had some confidence.
In the face of such a player, he may not have the strength to fight.
Especially now, looking at the opponent's tactics, Gao Shunyao also has a bold idea in his heart.
Manchester City's attacking tactics are indeed a great test for Wolfsburg, and in front of Dzeko, their goal is indeed facing a great threat, and it can even be said that they are close to death. In 30 minutes, Manchester City's tactics seem to have played a big role.
However, even if his backfield has been very threatened by his opponent, Wolfsburg at this time still has not forgotten to launch his own attack. Standing in front of the court, Gao Shunyao was also thinking about how his team should attack at this time.
Manchester City's tactics did come as a surprise to Wolfsburg: they thought that with the stronger characteristics of Manchester City, they should start to slow down the tempo after the opening onslaught, so as to fight steadily and strive for victory. However, in this game, Manchester City chose to attack in an all-round way, which can be said to be an eye-opener. Manchester City's tactics are indeed well arranged, and even Gao Shunyao has to admit this.
However, the tactics of onslaught have a good side, and naturally there is a bad side. Their offensive is very fierce, and it is certainly a good side of the tactics that the Wolfsburg goal is repeatedly threatened, but Gao Shunyao also noticed that because of the continuous attack, Manchester City's offensive rhythm seems to have been a little chaotic.
Before the game, Gao Shunyao had watched Manchester City's game carefully, and he always knew that Manchester City's attack was generally to get the ball in the backfield and then advance to the midfield by personal ability, and in the midfield, Silva and Nasri controlled the rhythm and launched the attack. This kind of tactic, Manchester City has always done a good job, although because the back field is not too good tactics are always abused by strong teams, but in the frontcourt, they can also abuse others.
If they can maintain their rhythm all the time, Gao Shunyao has nothing to do. However, at this moment, Gao Shunyao was keenly aware that their rhythm had been disrupted. Perhaps because the attack was going well, Yaya Toure seemed to be unable to sit still at the back and always wanted to move forward, and because of Dzeko's advantage in the air, Manchester City also seemed to want to rely on Kolarov's long balls rather than the ground up front to cooperate with them in search of better opportunities, but at the same time, they also lost their own attacking rhythm.
In the midst of the constant attack, Manchester City themselves have disrupted their rhythm. They wanted to draw Wolfsburg in one go, but in the process, they didn't realize that they were also a little disjointed in the midfield because of their too fast attack.
And the disjointed midfield is definitely the best news for Wolfsburg's attacking players. Looking at the excitement of his opponent, Gao Shunyao had already smelled the weakness of his opponent.
As a striker, he may not be as technically good as Dzeko, but he has a strong sense of self-confidence in his nose for chance. He may not be able to change people in the box consistently, but he can grasp the opponent's weakness and bite the opponent hard.
Rushing up and countering their chaotic midfield is the most important thing to do right now. They are strong, but it is not so easy to overcome themselves. Dzeko has already shown his quality in front of him that Wolfsburg will never forget, and now, it is his turn to make Wolfsburg fans even more excited.
The most important thing about who is the stronger striker is who can score goals. To be continued.
