As a professional football team, if you can mention the name of your team all over the world, no matter what the game is, others will feel that this team must be quite difficult after hearing it, and your team must be more than lucky against them, and that kind of team is the most worthy of the players to be proud of. And as a team, it has become a team that everyone wants to meet in the game, so the situation of this team is somewhat problematic.

From the time when the Champions League round of 16 was played and the quarterfinals were born, almost all the media in Europe were predicting who would be the lucky one to face Wolfsburg. Such a situation made the Wolf Castle players naturally quite unhappy, but they also knew very well in their hearts that no matter how unhappy they were, they could only hold back.

It's just that their team is very weak, after all, it's not a very satisfying thing, at least when the players usually train, when they mention the upcoming Champions League match, they can't be calm. Even after Gao Shunyao came back from the national team, he was not very happy because he did not play well in the national team game, and his teammates thought that he was worried about the Champions League game.

"The Champions League has to be played no matter what you say, anyway, we have already reached the quarterfinals, and this result is not ashamed. Don't always be sad, if the Champions League affects the league again, it's not worth it. ”

During the training, seeing that Gao Shunyao was a little absent-minded, Mandzukic was also on the side to persuade him. Although Gao Shunyao was actually depressed not in the Champions League, he nodded after listening to his words, thanked him for his reminder, and also warned himself that he should not make that kind of mistake.

The national team competition is not available until June. And the Champions League is indeed as Mandzukic said, and it is not bad at this point. The most important thing now is the league, nothing else.

Gao Shunyao is also very clear. In the Champions League, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Wolfsburg to make a breakthrough - although it is a little embarrassing to admit that there is no hope, but looking at the draw results, Wolfsburg's chances are really small.

The list of Champions League quarter-finals has been determined long before the national team match. And as the media said, an opponent like Wolfsburg is a big gift for many teams. And even as a big package, Wolfsburg's luck is not very good.

In the draw for the quarterfinals, Barcelona drew against Manchester United, and this game is still a matchup of giants. The two teams have had a lot of romances. In five years, both teams have played in two Champions League finals, and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has said that he once wanted to coach Barcelona, and the two teams have a deep grudge.

And Dortmund's opponent is Valencia, which is not a particularly strong opponent, and it can only be said that Dortmund is still lucky. Although the opponent cannot be regarded as a weak team, compared to Dortmund, which has completely shifted its focus to the Champions League this season, they are not expected to be opponents.

And Bayern is in the draw for this round. The opponent drawn is Juventus, who have recently moved towards a revival. Some people say that the current Juventus is Bayern a few years ago, and it seems that this revived giant is about to meet a giant that has been revived. There is also a lot of competition between the two giants, and think of Bayern's poor set-piece approach to Juventus' Andrea Pirlo recently. This game also seems to have some highlights.

And outside of those three games, Wolfsburg's opponent was naturally decided. They will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, which has been a recent fixture. A name on the cusp.

It was this team that was encountered in the Champions League game, and the Wolfsburg players saw it. They were all a little dumbfounded. The names Real Madrid and Barcelona are definitely the last things that players want to encounter. But they clearly didn't have the good fortune to avoid a strong enemy.

"It's really difficult to get to the quarterfinals and want to avoid the opponent again."

Speaking of this question, several teammates around him also sighed. Everyone was playing on the training ground, and their mood was obviously a little sluggish. It was really frustrating to meet such an opponent in the Champions League, and the Wolfsburg players couldn't be happier.

However, if you think about it, you also know that blindly trying to avoid opponents is unrealistic after entering the quarterfinals. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, including Bayern, none of these teams Wolfsburg want to meet. However, there are only eight teams in the top eight, and it is impossible to avoid them all, but Wolfsburg is quite unlucky, and it is the most troublesome opponent to encounter.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to lose. No matter how strong Real Madrid is, it can't be much stronger than Bayern, right? Bayern is so strong, we all survived, how good can Real Madrid be? Maybe we can create a miracle this season, didn't our coach also lead the team to the semi-finals? ”

Maybe it was because everyone was not in a high mood, and Shaheen also opened his mouth to speak while playing football on the training ground. Unlike others, his mood is quite high.

In this match, the one who hopes to win the most may be Shahin. Although his identity is a little embarrassing as a player on loan from Real Madrid, it is precisely because of his embarrassing identity that Shaheen has more motivation to win. When Shaheen came on loan, Real Madrid did not set an avoidance clause, so the media has been paying attention to his situation during this time, wanting to know if he will become a second Morientes.

Those comments touched Shahin a lot. Those words put a lot of pressure on him, but they also gave him a lot of courage. He can be said to have a mixture of grievances against Real Madrid, both expectations and resentments, so compared to others, he also has a different idea, he wants to win, he wants to win.

But this almost fanciful idea, as soon as he said it, was shattered by Matic.

"Don't be funny, we're playing in Mourinho's team, where is it so easy to take advantage of it? Moreover, how we will play Bayern to win, don't you still know? ”

Unlike Shahin, who was abandoned by Real Madrid, as a former Chelsea player, Matic has a good impression of Mourinho, and when it comes to this question, he is also the first to refute Shahin's words. His retort caused Shahin to open his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Indeed, against Real Madrid, it is impossible to expect the opponent to lose like Bayern.

Wolfsburg have played against strong teams this season, not to mention anything else, and they have done quite a wonderful two games against Bayern. Although Real Madrid is very strong, if it is really said that the strength may not necessarily be stronger than Bayern, some people believe that since Wolfsburg is not afraid of Bayern, then it should not be afraid of Real Madrid.

But what the media can say, but the Wolfsburg players know very well that this is pure nonsense. No one else knows the details, but the Wolfsburg players know very well how their double against Bayern came about.

In the away game, the defensive counterattack was based on Bayern's lack of run-in at the beginning of the season, coupled with the carelessness of the enemy in the home game to press the attack, and Wolfsburg won the victory. In order to win at home, Wolfsburg made a big heel away from home in the Champions League, and then relied on the advantage of sufficient physical strength to defeat Bayern, which was in rotation. In the final analysis, although Wolfsburg beat Bayern twice this season, they encountered Bayern who were not in full form, mentality, physical strength, and lineup, all of which affected their state when they played each other.

But these problems will not be encountered by Real Madrid.

First of all, Real Madrid's mentality will never be chaotic: generally speaking, when a weak team faces a giant, it is nothing more than counting on the opponent to take the initiative to attack, and if there is a problem in the backline, let yourself have a chance. But Mourinho has also heard of the coaching characteristics of the coach, his team has always been known for its defense, and it is expected that his team will take the initiative to attack? That's absolutely unrealistic. Arsenal may take the initiative to attack, Bayern may take the initiative to attack, but expect Real Madrid to take the initiative to attack? How is that possible?

Moreover, it is impossible for Real Madrid to be indebted physically: Real Madrid played very badly in the league this season, because there was a mole within Real Madrid, and Real Madrid was thrown away by Barcelona early - for the two teams in the Spanish Super League, they basically won or lost from the beginning of the season, and Real Madrid estimated that they could not get anything in the league this season, so their main energy was on the Champions League, and with the thickness of their squad, the league could cope with the past, and they were absolutely physically exhausted.

On the contrary, Wolfsburg is now having to give it their all in almost every game. They dare to face Porto absent-mindedly when they play Bayern, but before playing Real Madrid, they definitely don't dare to ignore Nuremberg as much - there are still seven games in the league, and these seven games are related to the final championship, and Wolfsburg will give up the league title at this time to fight for the Champions League unless they are crazy. If there is really a side on both sides that is physically exhausted, it is the physical strength of the Wolf Castle side that is more likely to bottom out first.

In the end, Wolfsburg is unlikely to see Real Madrid rotate their tactics – Jose Mourinho is a notoriously disinclined coach who doesn't like rotation. Unlike many coaches who like to use different players for different games, he likes to go all the way to the black, and his team is basically a lineup.

Therefore, with all this in mind, it is fairly safe to say that Wolfsburg will encounter a super Real Madrid with plenty of physical strength and full concentration, composed of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria and others - it can be said that this opponent who will not be underestimated is the worst situation that Wolfsburg will encounter.

"This opponent is indeed a little stronger." Listening to the discussion of his teammates, Gao Shunyao also sighed.

Indeed, the giants themselves are terrible, and if a top giants ignore their face and stick to the tactics of counterattacking and playing a single line, it will be even more terrifying. Real Madrid may be a hurdle that Wolfsburg cannot overcome, and they will not give Wolfsburg a chance in any way.

However, thinking of these, Gao Shunyao is looking forward to this game even more.

"However, even if you can't kick it, it's good to see the strength of the opponent. We've all played in the lower leagues, who hasn't gotten stronger a little bit? It's not necessarily a bad thing to meet a strong team, but seeing a strong opponent may be more able to stimulate progress - to be honest, I really want to see what Real Madrid can play like.
