If there's anything more scary for a team than challenging one big team, it's two big teams in a row in a week. And if there is anything that can be encountered when challenging the two giants, then when your core players are injured, it is definitely a great misfortune to challenge the two giants in consecutive away games.

Any team, if it encounters such a great unfortunate situation, will probably sigh. Wolfsburg is no exception this time. Looking at the schedule, when I noticed that I needed to challenge Bayern away in the league and then Manchester United in the Champions League in the next game, Wolfsburg was in a rather depressed mood.

"This is definitely one of the most serious challenges for Wolfsburg, who have never had a tougher schedule than ever before, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, two of the best European teams, even if Real Madrid and Barcelona go to play against them, they dare not say they will win. And now Wolfsburg is going to play with them, and what they can do may be to think carefully about which one they should give up. ”

For this week's schedule, the media made their evaluation straightforward. And almost all of their evaluations are not optimistic about Wolfsburg. Although the players of Wolfsburg are resentful of this, they also have to admit that the media's opinion is largely right.

This is not surprising, after all, Wolfsburg are facing two tough battles: although Bayern are also fighting continuously, they are playing continuously at home, and they are also playing weak teams in the Champions League, so the difficulty is completely different. Manchester United are in a mess in the league right now. The Champions League is already a lifeline for Moyes, and he will certainly not give up the Champions League easily. Wolfsburg also needs to fight him to the end. Both games were tough battles and it wasn't that easy to win.

Wolfsburg can win both games. The media is not optimistic at all. Their opponents are the reigning Premier League champions and the reigning Champions League champions, and they themselves have players who have injuries that have not yet been resolved. Wolfsburg have not been a team that has always been good at playing on the road, and now they need to challenge both teams on the road in a row, and the difficulties are self-evident.

For them, they want to win both battles. It's just too hard. What Real Madrid may not be able to do, it is really difficult for Wolfsburg to do it.

Moreover, the media made this judgment because they seemed that Wolfsburg also seemed to have to pursue a two-game victory. After all, no one ever asked Wolfsburg to fight on multiple fronts, and even if they did, they didn't have to win every game. Giving up some games that they didn't have to win might be a better outcome for them and concentrating on one enemy. It is better than dispersing all of them to fail.

In the eyes of the media, Wolfsburg should do just that. If you want to get more out of the league, you don't have to fight Manchester United. If you want to go a little further in the Champions League. Then the game against Bayern should be given up sensibly. Either way, they can't afford to stick with two wins. Proper adjustment is a must for them.

But about this. There are also people who have a different one, at least, Wolfsburg's coach Magath has a very different opinion.

"In both games, we will play seriously. Wolfsburg doesn't have the word "give up the game" in the dictionary, whether it's Bayern Munich or Manchester United, if you want to beat us, let's rely on this ability. ”

Regarding the media's predictions, Magath looked disdainful when he was interviewed. Deciding to give up before the game even started is clearly not his style. It's been a really tough week. He still stressed that although the week was a difficult one, Wolfsburg had absolutely no intention of giving up.

Magath is determined to prove that he is not just a Bundesliga coach this season, and he is very demanding of the team, even surprising. Although the opponents faced were indeed strong, Magath still said that Wolfsburg would do everything they could to win these two games, and they would definitely be able to win.

However, while Magath is fully sure of the game, reality doesn't go his way. At least against Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg still lost.

----------

Since last year, Wolfsburg has surprised many media who underestimate them in many games. This team has come back from behind in the Champions League, won the league in the long run, and has done very well in many strong conversations, even attracting the attention of the whole league. And this time, before the start of the game, although many teams still think that Wolfsburg's strength is far inferior to Bayern, but, no matter how optimistic they are about their team, they don't dare to talk too hard, Wolfsburg's victory over Bayern is not something that has never happened, since the end of the Super Cup, Wolfsburg seems to have been not very convinced by that game. When they meet again, many people don't dare to make up their minds whether they can work a miracle or not, and this team may really be able to create some miraculous victory, and they have been doing it since last year.

But in this game, Wolfsburg is obviously not the existence that makes people believe in miracles. In the middle of the game, they still lost.

Of course, this failure, strictly speaking, is very different from the media's predictions. At least, although Wolfsburg was a complete loser in the result of the game, but tactically, they were not completely suppressed by Bayern throughout the game as expected by the media, and then beat like a monkey. In this game, it was Wolfsburg who scored first.

In this game, there are many similarities with what the media expected. For example, after the opening, Bayern had the upper hand on the ball, and Wolfsburg once again chose to defend and counterattack, and there was nothing different from what people predicted. However, Bayern had the upper hand but they didn't get on the scoresheet right away. Although they had the ball most of the time, their attack did not go well against a Wolfsburg defence. Obviously, Pep Guardiola still hasn't found a Barcelona-like rhythm at Bayern, at least in attack, it's still a little delayed.

In contrast, although Wolfsburg used counter-attack tactics, this time, it was used much better than the last time. Although it was an away game, this time, Wolfsburg's counterattack line was quite clear, and the game was very clear, although there were few opportunities, but the grasp was not bad.

And, perhaps because of the recent lack of attacking strength, Wolfsburg has clearly played harder from set-pieces. Their first goal came from a set-piece.

It was a corner kick – Wolfsburg's counter-attack was Perisic with the ball, but with Lahm defending, he could only create a corner. Bayern defended quite tightly, at least on the ground.

However, when it comes to defending corners, that's not what Bayern is good at. They were the same last season, and it's the same this season.

The corner kick sent by Turan directly bypassed an arc and flew into the penalty area, and Gao Shunyao on the front point jumped up and seemed to rush towards the football. His actions attracted almost all of Bayern's defensive attention to him, not only Dante followed him closely, but even Neuer moved forward at this time, trying to rely on his own attack to block Gao Shunyao's header.

His idea was good, but the problem was that this was what Wolfsburg wanted.

Neuer is a very strong goalkeeper, and even now that Buffon, Cassie and others are aging, he is already a well-deserved world No. 1 goalkeeper, and in the face of such a goalkeeper, many of Wolfsburg's tactics are difficult to work. They can play a lot of tricks in the frontcourt, but Neuer is like a needle in the backcourt, no matter how Wolfsburg plays, he can make Wolfsburg suffer a big loss if he defends here. If you want to beat Bayern, he has to think about it.

And how to beat him, this is the problem that Wolfsburg thinks about the most, and after thinking about it, set-piece tactics, this is also the best way.

After all, this is an old problem for Bayern.

Manuel Neuer is indeed one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but he has always had a big problem that he is a little discreet in his attack. Although his level is enough to guarantee that there will be no problems most of the time, if he can take one chance in the game, Wolfsburg will be enough to win.

This time, it was the opportunity that Wolfsburg had been planning for a long time: what Wolfsburg wanted was to lure Neuer to take the initiative - Bayern's set-piece defense in the box was poor, and Gao Shunyao only needed to run a little better, so that Bayern's defense could not keep up with him. And in this case, because Mandzukic is not there, Neuer has no worries, and it is very likely that he will attack - once he does, Wolfsburg's plan will be half achieved.

Although Gao Shunyao jumped high, the football was let by him. Neuer, who wanted to block him in front of him, did not manage to hold the ball in his arms, instead, the ball flew past the two men and flew behind them.

There, Olic had already cut in, and he headed the ball out!

The ball flew out and went straight into the net. Wolfsburg's set-piece tactics worked successfully at this point!

In the penalty area, Gao Shunyao rushed to Olic excitedly and high-fived him in celebration. Olic was a great contributor to the goal – if it had been Mandzukic at the back of Wolfsburg, Neuer would not have been so careless. If it was someone else, it wouldn't be so easy to score. And only the old but still strong Olic can create this kind of beautiful goal, so that Wolfsburg is away from home, taking the lead in breaking the door of Bayern!

With this goal, Wolfsburg once again showed their courage to beat Bayern Munich in a double last season, and it also made the Wolfsburg players extremely excited. However, when they were excited, they also didn't notice that with their goal, the frustration of the Bayern players had also reached the moment of exploding.

They don't want to lose like this again. (To be continued.) )
