Section 451 Make persistent efforts
As the defending champion of the Bundesliga, the strength of Wolfsburg has always been one of the issues that has been discussed. Since this team overthrew Bayern Munich last year and successfully reached the top, there have been different opinions about whether they are a strong team or not.
Wolfsburg's quality should be said to be quite good, as evidenced by the double win over Bayern Munich in the league last season. However, it is also an indisputable fact that last season's Bayern, the center forward was injured unexpectedly, and the consumption of the third-line operation was quite large. Since the beginning of this season, Bayern has been further strengthened, and Wolfsburg has encountered some injury problems, and the situation between the two sides has immediately reversed, which is also the best proof, in the eyes of many people, Wolfsburg's strength is still far from the strong team.
However, in this game against Manchester City, Wolfsburg also proved its strength with its own attack. After being suppressed by Manchester City, the Wolfsburg players did not completely lose control of the situation, which is also the best proof of their quality.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City's tactical intent was very clear after making adjustments. They just want to rely on the strength of their top players to suppress Wolfsburg, use their personal ability to achieve a blow to Wolfsburg, and even completely decide the winner. However, Wolfsburg's goal completely shattered their illusions, and this made people realize that even if they are more capable than individuals, Wolfsburg is no worse than anyone else.
Turan's beautiful shot made Wolfsburg instantly form a counterattack, and Gao Shunyao's volley made the football fly past Joe Hart and score the goal, such a technical level is enough to make people proud. After the tactical victory over Manchester City, Wolfsburg did not lose to Manchester City in terms of stars, and they proved that they are not bad.
Whoever said that Wolfsburg could not be considered a strong team and who dared to say that their strength was not as good as their opponents, with this goal, the players of Wolfsburg were proud to declare. Although these top stars of Manchester City are famous, when it comes to strength, they have also lost at their hands
Ko Soon-yao's goal. The score of the game has become 21, and the score of 42 makes Manchester City almost impossible to reverse the situation again. The scales of this game. Once again, it fell to Wolfsburg
After 60 minutes of fierce competition, in the face of Manchester City's heavy pressure, Wolfsburg never lost their advantage, and they also played admirably in this game.
It's just that. Maybe others will be full of admiration for Wolfsburg's strength, but the current Manchester City will definitely not show any admiration for Wolfsburg. When they saw Wolfsburg's second goal, the Manchester City players felt despair in their hearts on the one hand, and in their hearts on the other, they were also deeply angry. Tactically, they lost the game, they were not lucky, and now, in terms of player ability, they have also proved to have no absolute advantage. It also made City's players even angrier.
If they can't even suppress the individual ability of the Wolfsburg players, then why should they get a high salary and think of Wolfsburg to attack them like this, and the attack of the Manchester City players is even more crazy.
After 60 minutes, the match between Wolfsburg and Manchester City can be said to have entered the final stage, and in this final stage, Manchester City's attack is more rampant. Although they are two goals behind, their hope of turning the tables is not great, but now Manchester City is unwilling to stop for the sake of face.
As a quasi-giant. With the momentum of not giving up in such a backward situation, it is not bad. At least compared to the decisive confession, it is still worthy of recognition. However, it is precisely because the quasi-giants are not giants after all, that their attacks are too crazy. Instead, there is a lack of moderation. From their attack, Wolfsburg also saw new opportunities, and Wolfsburg after the 42-lead did not give up the attack.
The madness of the opponent is often the dawn of victory. And when Aguero's breakthrough was cut off by Naldo and passed to Benaglio, Wolfsburg's counterattack officially began.
This time offensive. It can be said that Wolfsburg launched an attack from the goalkeeper. Naldo's pass, perhaps meant to stabilize the situation, was at the goalkeeper's feet. The ball was kicked out by Benaglio, and before the opposing players had time to shrink, he directly passed the ball and kicked the ball across the half
For Wolfsburg, all they need now is a quick counter-attack. In a football game, the quickest and most direct counterattack is naturally nothing more than sending the ball directly from the goalkeeper to the front court. Goalkeepers assist teammates directly with big kicks or hand throws, and in football matches, there have been many goalkeepers who are known for being able to support their teammates from long distances, such as Bayern's Manuel Neuer, who is extremely good at throwing the ball with his hands.
It's just that such tactics are rarely used in Wolfsburg in general. The reason for this is because their goalkeeper Benaglio's big kicking skills are not very good. As a goalkeeper, Benaglio has good saves and goalkeeping ability, but he doesn't have anything particularly commendable when it comes to kick-offs.
The goalkeeper's long pass to the front court is certainly beautiful, but this kind of pass is not something that modern football requires. Modern football emphasizes control, but also emphasizes pressing in the front court, and in order to control players and avoid the success of the opponent's pressing, it also requires the goalkeeper's ability to be a scavenger. In modern football, more emphasis is placed on the goalkeeper's ability to pass the ball to his teammates in a stable manner, rather than the ability to open the glue and assist directly. After all, not everyone has long passing skills, and the abilities and responsibilities of players in modern football are becoming more and more detailed, from goalkeeping skills to certain passing and ball control skills, and with a long passing technology, the requirements for goalkeepers are too high.
Maybe that kind of thing, Neuer can try, but Benaglio wants to do it, it's basically impossible. His long balls don't have a lot of accuracy, and there's not even a shortage of things like big kicks straight out of bounds. With such a technology, Wolf Castle naturally will not make it something too unreliable for conventional tactics, and people naturally can't count on it. Therefore, in Wolfsburg's tactics, it is better to let Naldo and Kjaer pass the ball in the backfield than to use him as a point of delivery.
But this time, his pass can be said to be unexpected. Because Manchester City's overall pressure is very strong, when Benaglio kicks out a long pass, it is difficult for their backfield to recover in time for a while. After getting the football, Benaglio did not pass the ball to the defender again, but directly drove the ball through the half, which also allowed the Wolfsburg frontcourt players to get the first opportunity to attack.
And that's crucial for Wolfsburg: after City have further strengthened their attack, Wolfsburg's attack has become more difficult, and for them, any opportunity is not to be missed
The ball fell towards the front, and Turan and Kolarov on the wing also ran towards the point of the ball at the same time. The football passed a little close, Benaglio did not pass the ball accurately, so that Turan and had to run back, and at this moment, Kolarov also rushed over, although he was one step behind, but Kolarov did not give up the defense, he adjusted his position behind Turan, and was also ready to get close to him as soon as Turan received the ball, so as not to let him have the opportunity to turn and accelerate. He can also see that what Wolfsburg wants is a quick attack, so desperately suppressing Wolfsburg's attack speed and slowing down Wolfsburg's attack speed is the best way.
As long as Wolfsburg's attack speed can't be fast, then this attack, they will only return in vain.
However, his intentions, Turan saw very clearly, and he knew better than anyone else that being able to launch a fast attack was the most worthy opportunity for Wolfsburg. At the moment of receiving the ball, there was no pause at his feet, his body showed no signs of turning, and he raised his foot to knock the ball behind him with a backheel pass.
In the fast attack, one kick is naturally one of the fastest offensive methods. It's just that because Turan received the ball with his back to the opponent's half, no one expected that he would directly kick the ball forward and continue to pass. However, Turan did just that, he knocked the ball to the right side of the road, allowing the football to rush to the opponent's half of the court for the first time.
On the right side, Rong had already rushed up quickly. Kolarov was a little biased in order to defend Turan, so that when Rong received the ball, he encountered almost no obstacles. On the wing, he received the ball and drove it straight from the side to the back
Wolfsburg's fast attack was still formed, their attack quickly broke through the midfield, Rong accelerated all the way with the ball, and rushed directly to the vicinity of the penalty area, and he didn't think too much, a long pass, kicked the ball into the penalty area.
From Benaglio to Turan to Jung, none of their passing attacks were particularly accurate, but they all had one of the biggest benefits, which was that they were very fast. A simple routine attack made Wolfsburg's attack quickly knock down the penalty area, and Mandzukic had already rushed up and headed towards the football.
Manchester City's backline has not yet had time to recycle, and they have only Demichelis at the back, who is alone in the defense of Mandzukic. And it has been proven that in one-on-one defense, Demichelis can hardly stop Mandzukic, especially with high headers.
In the penalty area, Mandzukic jumped high, and Demichelis, who rushed with him, jumped together, but he was directly overtaken by him and pressed under him. Mandzukic, who jumped high, met the header that flew over, shook his head, and pushed the ball out
Mandzukic's header skills naturally did not need to be doubted, and this ball was also directly headed by him into the upper left corner of the goal. Joe Hart jumped high, but his defense couldn't stop the ball.
The ball hit the post, bounced off and flew into the goal, and in the 76th minute, Wolfsburg scored the third goal in the middle of the game
The surging cheers, this time completely drowning Wolfsburg 32, they didn't dare to say that they would win, and at 42, the fans were still worried. But now, Wolfsburg has turned the score to 52, and the final winner of this game must be Wolfsburg undoubtedly. To be continued.
