Section 365 The Way of Death
Although the entire Bundesliga has been waiting for a long time, Bayer Leverkusen has not been able to become an obstacle to Wolfsburg's title after all. Wolfsburg, who made up their minds to give up the Champions League, played very well against Bayer Leverkusen, making them cross an important threshold and take a very important step in their long-distance run with Bayern.
As one of the giants of the Bundesliga this season, it is a bit embarrassing that Bayer Leverkusen will be defenseless in front of Wolfsburg. However, this is also because Wolfsburg played too well in this round of games. Before the end of the first half, they had already made it 2-0 and had the advantage, and from the start, they suppressed their opponents.
Although Bayer Leverkusen did not lack counter-attacks in the game, and even after the start of the second half, they did score a goal thanks to Schurrle's counterattack, but this did not change their fate at all. On the eve of the game, Perisic's shot from a small angle after slipping into the penalty area once again extended the score for Wolfsburg, and made Wolfsburg not have to worry about defeat at all.
The 3-1 score gave Wolfsburg the victory, and they continued to maintain their lead in the league. It's just that Wolfsburg's victory didn't bring them too much praise, on the contrary, after the game, many media were worried.
"Hopefully Wolfsburg can play like that against Real Madrid. If their form and stamina can be retained against Real Madrid, then a victory for Wolfsburg is not out of the question. ”
For this race, the media commented more about being happy that Wolfsburg continued to lead the table. More comments are talking about the considerable physical exertion of Wolfsburg in the league. Will there be enough physical strength to cope with the Champions League?
In fact, Wolfsburg's abandonment of the Champions League. The media has basically seen it. Three-line operations, want the same lineup to deal with all of them. That's almost impossible. No matter how strong a team is, once it has a great physical exertion, it is impossible to play well. Against Bayer Leverkusen, how cool is Wolfsburg's win, how much physical exertion they have, and how much of their physical exertion will be in the face of Real Madrid? That's just kidding.
The truth couldn't be simpler, football is a sport, and sport is based on human physical fitness. And want to challenge the limits of human physical fitness, and do things that go against the ability of the human body. That would only lead to defeat for your team.
The Wolfsburg players may be good, Magath may have given them a lot of energy, but that's not a reason to do a miracle. If you want to talk about good players, when Mourinho was at Chelsea, the strength of that team was far better than the current Wolfsburg, and it was not much worse physically. But when they met Liverpool, Mourinho had to insist on winning three games on both fronts, but he was not defeated by Liverpool, who gave up the league, and returned with hatred?
Something that Chelsea can't do. What qualifies Wolfsburg to do it? This game has not yet arrived, and the results of the game can already be seen by many people.
It's just that the media is still a little unbelievable about such a thing. In their opinion. Since it has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Wolfsburg should work hard to win a new victory. A team that has won the last four of the Champions League. It's also a great honour to say it, to give up the Champions League semi-finals for the league titles that the team has already won. Obviously not wise.
Their attitude towards the Champions League is simply too rash. In any case, it is an opportunity to bring glory to German football. Why give up so easily?
Of course, although most of the media believe that Wolfsburg is going to give up the Champions League. But even at this point, there are still people who don't think so. However, the attitude of the person who doesn't think so will only make people feel more bored with the upcoming match.
"Wolfsburg is a tough opponent and we still need to be careful."
Wolfsburg is considered to have given up the Champions League on the German side, but on the Spanish side, Mourinho, who was interviewed, may be the only person who still values Wolfsburg at this time. When he was interviewed, he still did not have the slightest contempt, he still asked his team to pay attention to Wolfsburg, not to relax in the slightest about the Champions League game, and to play this game with all their might.
It's just that as the head coach of Real Madrid, he attaches great importance to Wolfsburg, which means that Wolfsburg doesn't even have a chance to turn the tables by pretending to be a chance. Moreover, everyone knows that Mourinho's emphasis is basically the same as asking the team to defend it. In this game, Wolfsburg's choice made the game no longer suspenseful, and Real Madrid simply cut off the process of the game, making him no longer enjoyable.
These two teams seem to want to join forces and turn this game into a boring event.
Of the three teams in the Bundesliga quarter-finals, only Wolfsburg chose to face their opponents in the Champions League with such an attitude. Compared with Bayern's insistence on fighting on multiple fronts, compared with Dortmund's practice of winning glory in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg's idea is really debatable. ”
While the media blamed Wolfsburg, they did not forget to cite other teams as examples. And this season's Bundesliga, there are indeed two teams that have performed well in the Champions League. Needless to say, Bayern played well against Juventus, won away from home, improved their set-piece defence problems, and have a good chance of qualifying, and are now known as the new Cosmos team. And Dortmund this season is also contrary to their image of the nest last season, although the league has always been half-dead hanging on the third or fourth place, and even unable to get rid of Leverkusen, but in the Champions League is advancing by leaps and bounds, and there is also the possibility of the Champions League entering the top four.
Compared to them, Wolfsburg's choice can be said to be terrible. The abandonment of international competitions for the sake of domestic glory naturally made the German media quite dissatisfied.
The accusations of the media resounded outside, and Wolfsburg had to pay for its choice after making its own choice. They have to accept all the scolding from the media.
Fortunately, Wolfsburg didn't particularly care about these words, at least the vast majority of people just laughed at what the media said. In the team, when it comes to the comments of the media, they don't care much about what those people say.
"They always say that we are a foreigner's team, and there are not many German players in the whole team. But when it came time to play in the Champions League, they remembered that we were a local team, why didn't they want to think about the honor of German football, why do we care so much? ”
For the media, Shaheen just sneered. He played in Germany for a long time, the genius - the trough - the core - the traitor - the return, he has basically experienced these things, he has long been used to the usual of the media, and it is impossible to influence him with these words.
Obviously they are foreigners, and they don't see how much the German media loves them when they don't play well, so why should they be asked to work hard for the honor of German football? Everyone is a player, so let's take care of our own good.
In fact, he is quite satisfied with Wolfsburg's choice: Wolfsburg has won the league title, but it does not mean that these players do not want to win the league title again. Maybe it's a great honour for the team to reach the last four of the Champions League once, but it's obviously better for the players to make a name for themselves and win the league title is obviously better. Wolfsburg's selection takes care of the players' minds, and this team is not the same as the media who only care about appearances.
"That's right, compare us to Dortmund...... Once we win the league title, it's not too late to derby with Borussia Dortmund. After winning the championship, people can remember that we are also a team with championship strength, if we lose in the league, who cares if we play well in the Champions League? Leverkusen's Sanya King was demolished, Schalke Champions League semi-finals, isn't our head coach still out of class? I'm not against working hard in the Champions League, but at least, give me a league title first. ”
Similarly, Mandzukic sneered at the media's discourse. Last year's Dortmund, wasn't it also scolded by the media and had nowhere to go? If Dortmund did not insist on the league at that time, but wanted to produce results in the Champions League, then it is estimated that they would not have won the league title, and if there was no league championship last year, where would Dortmund receive so much attention, and how could it be possible to attract talents, retain talents, and rise in the Champions League this year?
The road always has to be walked step by step, how can there be a reason to become a fat man in one bite? The media must know all these things, but they just say it - they don't care if Wolfsburg is dead or alive next season, anyway, this season, just win glory for the Bundesliga first.
They don't care, but they can't care less. I am the one I care about the most.
"That's right, and the most important thing is that we haven't played the second leg of the Champions League yet, but the consumption of Bayer Leverkusen in the league is a little bigger, as for what we said we have lost?"
Gao Shunyao is also dissatisfied with the media's words. But his dissatisfaction lies in the fact that the media has now begun to accuse them in a hurry. Even if Wolfsburg is indeed ready to give up the Champions League, at least when the game is over, it is not too late to see if Wolfsburg is embarrassed or not, and it is too much to blame it early.
However, his complaint made Turan on the side laugh, "They are not wrong about this, the consumption is too large, then we can't win against Real Madrid, we can only admit defeat against Real Madrid, and we have no choice." ”
"Who's to say we can't choose now? Even if there is no way to win, it doesn't necessarily have to sit on the ground and wait for death, right? Gao Shunyao raised his head and looked at a few teammates who looked a little surprised, and he immediately added, "Of course, I didn't mean to continue to fight the two lines...... I'm just saying, even if we lose, don't play too humiliating. I thought, we're not going to win anyway, so why don't we play bigger and play hotter? It's all going to die anyway...... Why don't you die vigorously? (To be continued.) )
