Section 26 Waves
It is often said that the outcome of a football match is very unpredictable. Because there are so many variables in the football game itself, a little bit of variables is enough to make the success or failure of the football game unpredictable, the strong are not necessarily stronger, and the weak are not without a chance to turn over, many times the outcome of the football game is unpredictable, it seems that only God can know the answer.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, many times, the reason why some strong teams lose has a lot to do with their own tactics. Regardless of those games where the disparity in strength is too great, those games with similar strength are sometimes purely because the stronger side starts to play nonsense and finally kills themselves. Istanbul Night is said to have opened champagne in the middle of the Milan field, which is a typical example of doing death. Mourinho has just arrived at Real Madrid, and the treble winner is confident to play against Barcelona, and the result is also a very tragic story. Sometimes, some teams lose not because of providence, but because of death, which is a fact that people don't want to admit, but have to admit.
For example, in this game, Manchester United's tactics against Wolfsburg are quite a bit deadly. Obviously, it is a giant team playing at home, and in the face of Wolfsburg's main injury and consecutive away games, they can play better in such a game. However, Moyes's conservative thinking kept Manchester United until the end of the first half, and the score between the two sides remained 0-0 without any change.
This approach is of course blindly seeking stability, but on the calm water, the slightest shaking will bring ripples in circles. The more stable you are, the more turbulent it is, the simpler it is, but Moyes can't restrain his fear of a choppy attack.
And his fear. It's Wolfsburg's chance. The Wolfsburg players are also gradually seeing clearly, judging by Manchester United's attacking power. It's unlikely they'll score. Maybe it only takes one successful attack for your team to win.
Such thoughts. made Wolf Castle, which was originally a little shrunk, attack slightly better over time. It's just that Manchester United's defensive standard is still there, and they can't pose much of a threat for a while. However, the fighting spirit of the Wolfsburg players is not low at all, and since Manchester United are defending well, they will increase the number of strong attacks they have, and in any case, they will also want to pry a hole in the United defence.
For a team with a good defense. There are a lot of offensive methods, and what Wolfsburg chose at this time is the breakthrough of the ground ball: although it is said that they do have a high striker, and you can try it with a high ball, but consider that the coach on the opposite side is a cross lover himself, and his team must also have certain defensive measures for crosses, so compared to crosses. Ground tearing is perhaps a better option.
After all, Manchester United's defense relies on tactics, and their individual defensive ability is indeed not strong, at least Wolfsburg is not without a chance to break through.
When the football fell to Turan's feet again. That's what he did. He rushed up from the right with the ball, first shook off the aging Patrice with a single kick and then ran straight towards the penalty area. Facing Carrick, who was making up for the defense, he turned again with the ball. Gently bypassing his defense, he continued his own dash. For a dense defense. The best offense is a technical breakthrough, and Turan is well aware of that.
If other tactics can't open up the situation, then rely on individual ability, which is also a way of playing.
Turan relied on his skills to make a leisurely breakthrough, which made Manchester United's defense tense all of a sudden. Especially when I saw Gao Shunyao pulled out of the penalty area at this time, waiting in front of the penalty area to cooperate with him, they were in front of the penalty area, trying to form a cooperation and tear apart their defense, the Manchester United players also intersected more.
In the face of this threat, the pursuit of Fellaini was also immediate, he grabbed Turan's clothes from behind, and without thinking, dragged him down.
The whistle blew, and the Wolfsburg attack failed again. While Turan's attack has helped them get to the edge of the box, United clearly don't intend to give them a chance to get straight in.
"Manchester United's fouls, some of them were too direct."
In this regard, even the commentator is a little unbearable. A dull battle finally changed a little, but a foul brought everything back to the beginning.
Turan got up from the ground and shook his head and lamented that the Premier League team's defense was too rough. Compared with the Bundesliga, Premier League football does have too many violent kicks, whether it is muscle confrontation or foul action, there are many more in the Premier League than in the Bundesliga. If you are in the Bundesliga, after such a breakthrough, the opponent probably wouldn't dare to commit such a blatant foul, but players who are used to playing in the Premier League sometimes move so simply and rudely.
This kind of defense also made him a little unaccustomed.
However, at this moment, he didn't think much about it. Because he has more important things to focus on than fouls.
Fellaini's foul didn't make him red, but it did deliver a well-placed set-piece. Just to the right of the edge of the box, Wolfsburg won a free-kick. Compared with the opponent's foul, this is the real thing that people care about, this kind of set-piece, such a game, is enough to make people laugh!
Wolfsburg's attack has not been going well, and United's stubborn defense has kept them playing poorly. And in this case, the opponent sent a well-placed set-piece, which is a godsend.
Not to mention how much the players on the field paid attention to the ball at this time, even Magath on the sidelines couldn't sit still. He stood up on the sidelines, shouting and commanding, and he realized what a great opportunity it was.
He really wants that goal will be scored.
For Magath, this game actually has some special significance: when he was disgraced from Schalke two years ago, Schalke lost to Manchester United after getting rid of him. That Champions League match was just a small story in Ferguson's long coaching career for Manchester United, but for Magath, it was enough to remember for a lifetime. He was out of class at Schalke, and after that, Schalke lost the Champions League – and that's none of his business, but he still can't let go of it.
For that Champions League, Magath has always been very concerned, after all, it is the best year of his personal coaching career, and at the moment when he is about to usher in his personal peak, he did not lose to his opponent, but was fired by the boss, he can't forget it so easily. And he always wants to prove that he can beat Manchester United, and it seems that as long as he beats Manchester United, he can show Schalke back then: If you hadn't fired me early, maybe I would have taken you to the Champions League final.
Of course, he won't say such an idea, after all, he didn't watch the Champions League game that year, and he was also convinced of Manchester United's victory - those two games were basically Manchester United beating Schalke, if it weren't for the god-like Neuer, the score would have been unpredictable. No matter how arrogant Magath is, he doesn't think that he can turn the situation around if he becomes a coach, and he also knows how many pounds and taels Schalke has, whether he is against Manchester United.
Moreover, he now wants to take revenge on Manchester United, which is also ridiculous: Ferguson has retired, and by the time he retired, he had never regarded Magath as an opponent. He has Arsene Wenger, Liverpool, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, Mourinho, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to who Magath is. Manchester United, who couldn't beat the Ferguson era, now wants to vent on Moyes, such a thing is also a bit of bullying of children, not very clever. Magath still has to nod his face, and he won't say it.
However, although he didn't say it, when arranging the team's tactics, he obviously planned it very carefully. He has instilled a lot in the team in terms of attacking and defending, and set-pieces have always been an important aspect of his plans.
Of course, the reason why he will focus on set-pieces is largely due to the fact that Wolfsburg have really had problems attacking lately, Mandzukic was injured unexpectedly, Wolfsburg's attack is not as good as before, and they do need some means outside the usual tactics to score. Magath himself is no stranger to set-piece tactics, he has always done a good job in this area, and it is inevitable that he will think of these things first.
And secondly, it is also because in his heart, Magath still regards Bayern as a big enemy, and some of his tactics are also targeted to Bayern. Everyone in the world knows what Bayern's corner kick defense is rotten, and Magath will of course develop some tactics for Bayern's weaknesses.
Of course, his tactics were worked out, but the game against Bayern was still lost. However, this tactic does not work for Bayern, but it does not necessarily work for Manchester United. After all, Manchester United and Bayern have very different tactics, but they also have a lot of problems when it comes to defending set-pieces.
Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea can be said to be a very good goalkeeper, at least at his age, there are few people who do it better than him. Among the players with a full face, except for Van Persie in front, only De Gea in the back is a top star, there is no doubt about this. His contribution to Manchester United, both last season and this season, has been immeasurable, and with him in front of goal, the Reds' threat has been blocked.
However, his defense was not without problems. Compared to Neuer, De Gea's biggest problem is his weak physical fitness. As a goalkeeper, his physical fitness is a little worse, which makes him have a big problem with the control of set-pieces. Coupled with the fact that he himself does not have much experience in commanding the defensive line, this problem is further amplified. And with such a person in front of goal, compared to shooting from a distance, breaking through these chances, maybe set-pieces, is a better chance.
If this opportunity is seized, then the victory belongs to Wolfsburg - watching the set-piece in front of the penalty area also cheered the mood of the Wolfsburg players. This one goal is likely to determine the outcome of the game, and their chances are close at hand. (To be continued.) )
