In just 30 minutes, what Porto had thought of as a good strategic opportunity was completely shattered by a header from Mandzukic. Unlike away games, after Wolfsburg returned to its home stadium, it can be said that it has risen more than one notch in terms of momentum, tactics, and performance. During the game, Porto was suppressed by the whole field, and Wolfsburg's attack quickly took effect, which made the cheers resounded around the stadium, and the Wolfsburg fans continued to cheer for the goal, and their victory made them sincerely proud.

In the face of these cheers, Porto's head coach Victor Pereira looked at the situation with some anger, and he shook his fist fiercely, trying to shout something to his players, but could not say anything.

He didn't know what he was supposed to say, how his team had to change their formation to win? He didn't have a good way to deal with it.

As the head coach of Porto, Victor Pereira's coaching record is still quite good. In last year's Portuguese Super League, he won the league title with Porto, and this year's results in the league are still very good. The former assistant coach of Villas-Boas is clearly a very lucky man. He followed Villas-Boas to Porto, opting to stay with the team when he left for England. Porto's strong squad gave him the capital to make a name for himself, and he led his team to the championship, became the champion coach, and also embarked on the road to success for Mourinho and Villas-Boas.

However, the champion coach is not necessarily a very good coach, Mourinho's road is not easy, and Villas-Boas is the closest to him. It's all the same at Chelsea, and it's embarrassing. And Pereira, who was Boas's assistant. In terms of ability, it is even inferior, although since taking office. His results are very good, but people are more concerned about the outstanding players under him, and there is not much opinion of him as a championship coach.

He signed a two-year contract with Porto, and two years are about to expire. Porto don't seem to have any plans to renew his contract, and other European teams don't seem to have any intention of poaching him for coaching. So far, only a few teams in Asia want him to coach their teams, look at Jose Mourinho, look at Villas-Boas. He's not at all like those predecessors.

He used to feel deeply dissatisfied with this. Everyone also won the championship, what is not as good as others? However, only after facing the European competition, his dissatisfaction will be answered, and the Champions League games again and again have made him gradually understand where his gap is.

For example, this time against Wolfsburg. Also the champion coach of their respective leagues. When encountering an old guy like Magath, Pereira can only feel a deep powerlessness. All his little tricks were seen through by the other party, and then he played tricks in a targeted manner, and from the tactical point of view, he seemed to have completely failed.

Find a tactical core in your own team. Playing around him and then everybody executing a very mature tactical system – that's what happens to the top players. When encountering an average team, it is naturally devastating, but. In a real strong dialogue, there is no targeted change. There is no tactical adjustment, and if you want to defeat an opponent of the same level with the same tactics, it is completely giving hope to fate, and you can only go to failure.

The difference between a good coach and an average coach lies in a deeper understanding and insight into tactics. It's the same championship, but the difference is that they can reflect their own unique tactical thinking in the game. With his own ideas, the coach can be considered successful, and without these things, it will be difficult for Porto to beat Wolfsburg.

In fact, it's not just tactics, even if it's a player, Pereira doesn't think he's the one who has the upper hand. Although Porto's players are indeed sought after by the big clubs all over the world, they all have a very strong reputation. From the former Falcao, Hulk, to the current J Ronaldo and Martinez, they will all be players of the giants in the future, no one will doubt this. However, technically Porto may be stronger, but mentally, Wolfsburg is clearly too much more than Porto.

On the field, the game continued, and the two sides are now in a 2-2 situation, although Wolfsburg has the advantage by relying on away goals, but it is not particularly safe after all. Porto can successfully turn the tables if they score another goal, and Wolfsburg also knows this, and they try to extend the score with the advantage, while Porto has not given up the idea of turning the tables, and the two sides are still fighting on the field.

On the field, Ronaldo got the football again, but on the pitch, he was still playing alone trying to score by himself. He hasn't been able to build a good connection with Martinez and he's still hoping to score goals on his own and turn the game around.

Ronaldo's temper has always been a bit stubborn, and this Pereira also knows it. After all, he is young, and he is used to playing tailwind, it is difficult to adapt to setbacks, and he has a lot of temper when he plays. In the face of the opponent's strict defense, Ronaldo can easily make some mistakes because he can't attack for a long time. It's better to just want to attack on your own like today.

Compared to last season, he didn't want to fake a penalty, nor did he want to retaliate because he was guarded by the opponent, which is a big improvement. His character is growing and he is on his way to success.

However, compared to those on the other side, this kind of growth is still too small. Looking at the Wolves players, Pereira can only feel envy: the players of Wolves are not as good and famous as Porto, but it is terrifying to see the tacit understanding when they play on the field.

As Gao Shunyao moved forward, Mandzukic was behind to support him. And when Mandzukic had a chance, Gao Shunyao did not hesitate to pull the defender away and create an opportunity for him. Nemanja Matic swept back and forth at the back, not at all discouraged by the fact that he had no attacking tasks, and Turan was said to have used to be on the left wing, but in order to cooperate with the two high school forwards, he moved to the right, and it was also popular

Compared with the players on Porto's side, the players of Wolfsburg have a better tacit understanding, they know how to sacrifice, know how to cooperate, know how to think about the team instead of just paying attention to their own show, such a psychological quality is really mature enough.

Some of his players may have a few beasts destined to become the king of lions, but they have encountered a group of hungry wolves who are good at cooperation.

Pereira is not surprised that the opponent can play like this, after all, he thinks that all the rumours about the opponent are all right.

Magath is said to have given his team a training session in which he asked the players to run in the woods, and when the players were all running, he poured out most of the players' drinking water. When they returned from their run, the tired and panting players found that all the water had been dumped, and Magath suggested that they share the rest of the water.

When this practice was exposed by the media at that time, it was directly dubbed by the media as madness. Pouring out the players' drinking water after high-intensity training is completely untreatable to the players.

However, looking at the Wolfsburg players on the pitch cooperating with each other and supporting each other, Pereira suddenly understood Magath's thoughts.

His players understand the word sharing far better than anyone else. After all the training they have experienced, their players must understand what it means to share their opportunities – a coach is a coach after all, and there is a difference in the way they train. Magath is not just an inhuman physical training freak, he also has his own means of sharpening the mental training that the Bundesliga is good at.

Of course, these methods cannot be learned by others - not even that others cannot learn them, and Magath himself has a big problem using these methods. It is said that after he did so, the manager of Wolfsburg also came to him for an in-depth conversation, and considering that every now and then after he was out of class, the players of the team would throw parties to celebrate, and you can also see how much these players hated him. This is by no means an approach to be advocated, and the relationship between the coach and the players is too stiff, which is the biggest reason for Magath to go any further.

It's just that, even if he doesn't go any further, his team will be good enough to beat Porto. And even if his players hate him and grit their teeth, at least when facing themselves, his team did not let go of water, but worked very hard.

And a group of players who know how to cooperate and are willing to work hard are more terrifying than warriors who fight alone. And look at the opposing attacking players, where is their strength worse than Porto? People say that the Wolfsburg players are not as good as Porto, but in reality they are not bad at all.

Wolfsburg's two forwards are indeed not top-notch technical players. Their foot skills are quite average, these two people do not have the fine skills of Dzeko back then, dribbling the ball, tossing and turning, this is not what they are good at, compared to the new Henry, the new Shepchenko players at every turn, they are indeed veritable rough brothers.

However, the high striker itself is not a position that requires a delicate skill at the feet. Players in this position could have relied on their physical advantages to offset a large part of their technical disadvantages. These two players, tall, powerful, not weak in impact, and have the same skills as they take the ball near the penalty area, pass the ball, and make the ball, which is enough.

In modern football, it is not required that the center forward must be Henry, Sheva, and Da Luo. It's great to save the team on your own, but to be able to integrate with the team and attack the team is definitely a qualified center. These two players may never come close to the Ballon d'Or in their lifetime, but who is in the middle of the game and underestimates their threat?

Compared to Ronaldo, such a player may be even more terrifying - only the person who faces them can truly understand this fear. (To be continued.) )
