Until the end of the match with Zenit, the turmoil in the game between Wolfsburg and Zenit was the focus of people's discussions. Player injuries, malicious fouls, Champions League battles, these words all touched people's nerves, and after the game, people's attention was all shifted here.

In the Zenit team, their full-back Krisito can be said to be a well-known player in their team in every way. The Italy international is famous, promising, and has always been in the spotlight, compared to fellow Hulk and Witsel, his reputation is not bad at all, and his temper has never been particularly short-tempered, if someone says before the game that he will commit violent fouls during the game, I am afraid that no one will take it seriously.

However, it was in this game that he really made such a mistake. It was also because he was too easy to be by Turan, which caused the world-class player to be dissatisfied. Maybe it's because his team is too cowardly, which makes him gather anger in his heart. In less than ten minutes of the opening game, his foul action completely changed the game.

In the first ten minutes of the game between Wolfsburg and Zenit, Turan was substituted due to injury.

When something actually happens, a player will suffer from it, no matter how much good reputation he has accumulated before. After the match against Zenit, Crischito was criticized by the media for his foul, and accusations against him were everywhere from Russia to Italy, and it was also boiling for a while.

In football games, hurting people is the most hated thing at any time, and this foul has attracted more attention than the game itself.

Wolfsburg and Zenit in the middle of the match. Whatever the reason for his kick, it was enough to make him burn out. But at this time, the real victims, Turan and Wolfsburg, were relatively calm.

It's not that they aren't angry about it, but because of Turan's injuries and the pain they have in their own hands, they are not in the mood to hold them accountable. It's more about thinking about the future first.

On the bright side, Turan was not seriously injured, although Krishitto's kick was a bit heavy, and his foot was swollen at the time, but after the examination, it was only a ligament injury, and there was no major problem. But, on the downside, his injury required four weeks of time. Against Borussia Dortmund, he missed it.

Just a week ago, Wolfsburg was still rejoicing at Mandzukic's return. However, what they didn't expect was that there were new injuries and illnesses in their ward.

At critical moments, the important players of the team continue to be injured one after another, this kind of thing. It's a real headache. And the biggest headache is that Mandzukic is injured. At least Olic could be used as a substitute, but Turan was injured, and Wolfsburg's bench couldn't come up with any decent manpower.

Wolfsburg's wide substitutes, mainly only two. One is Stindale, the other is Marin, and alas. Neither of these two seems to be able to shoulder the responsibilities of Turan: although they are all in the same position, the work to be done on the pitch is very different, and their abilities are very different. It's a bit hard to believe.

In Wolfsburg's tactics, Turan has always had a heavy task. Wolfsburg's two-centre-forward tactics do not have a forward midfield, and both defenders will frequently step forward, so the wingers in front often have to shoulder the task of commanding in the middle.

In contrast, Perisic is more adept at sprinting into the box, while Turan is better at taking the ball at the edge of the box. The division of labor between the two of them has always been very clear, and in this position, Wolfsburg needs a person who can have a certain level of organizational ability.

And their two substitutes, it's a little difficult to do that. Stindl is a good substitute, but it's obviously not a good fit for him to be a playmaker. In this game, when Turan was replaced, he was also replaced, and on the court, although he was able to dedicate his strength conscientiously at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but when it came to the level, compared to Turan, he was much worse.

After all, not everyone has such a thing as talent, and some people don't have talent, no matter how reluctant they are, they can't barely come. What's even more frustrating is that there are people who have talent, but waste it themselves, and refuse to play well – compared to Stindl, Marin is such a person. His technical level, his playmaking talent, but on the pitch, he has not been able to find his form. A third of the way through the season, he still looks like a mess, and now Wolfsburg would rather let Stindl play than let the former German Messi come up and play. And when this kind of team is in trouble, it is also very risky to believe in someone who has not been able to play the form they should be for three months.

These two substitutes, it seems that neither of them is particularly suitable to replace Turan. However, now Wolfsburg has to pull out the general among the dwarfs and find someone to come out and deal with the next game first.

This game really had a bad impact on Wolfsburg.

"It's a terrible game, it's a mess, it's a complete mess, there's no merit at all."

For the result of this game, not to mention the players, even Magath as a coach was also out of shape after the game. In the locker room, he also muttered back and forth, scolding and thinking about what to do.

There is nothing the players can do about the coach's anger. They don't dare to touch the coach's head at this time, they know that half of the coach's anger is a foul on the opposing player. And the other half is against their own team.

After all, he said the game was useless, not just because of Turan's injury, but also because Wolfsburg didn't win the game. They played in a 0-0 draw and that's the most heart-wrenching thing.

This game should not have ended like this. In the middle of the game, Crishitto's foul, although it made Turan go down immediately, was not a good thing for himself. Because of the foul, he himself received a red card and was directly punished.

In this game, from the beginning, both sides suffered a catastrophe, the players on the Wolfsburg side were injured and replaced, while the Zenit side was directly dyed red and left the game. The game is played like this, it is not at all about who is stronger, but worse than whom.

And to put it mildly, although Wolfsburg is indeed the more depressing one in the long run, there is no need for them to be sad about this in this game. The opponent has changed from 11 people to 10 people, one less person should play the whole game, no matter how you look at Wolfsburg, it should be said that it is the one with a greater chance.

And Magath's dissatisfaction comes from here, it stands to reason that the opponent has sent off a player, and at this time, his team should take advantage of the situation to chase after it. However, in this game, Wolfsburg failed to do so. In the opening 10 minutes, the opponent sent off a man, and in the next 80 minutes, Wolfsburg did not score a single goal.

The reason why they didn't score was largely because of the decision. Immediately after being sent off, Zenit St. Petersburg changed tactics. Although it was a home game, because there was one less person, Zenit also began to defend confidently in the middle of the game.

It's a shame for a team to defend on their home turf anyway. But because one person has been sent off, no one can blame the team for being conservative and unmotivated. With the gold medal of no death of one person sent off, Zenit no longer thought about attacking, their players were all piled up in the backfield, even if it was a good opportunity, they didn't care, just wholeheartedly maintained the defense.

And this change has also made Wolfsburg suffer a lot.

Originally, in this game, Zenit still had some offensive ideas, and using their offensive opportunities to launch counterattacks was originally the dominant idea of Wolfsburg at the beginning. I have to say that St. Petersburg's home stadium is indeed difficult to play, long-distance travel coupled with climate change, Wolfsburg's players are not particularly good at controlling football, their attack has been affected to a certain extent, and in the case of the opponent's blind defense, Wolfsburg's attack has not been able to work again.

It has to be said that Wolfsburg's positional attack has always relied heavily on Turan's ball control skills, and without him on the field, it is difficult for Shahin and Perisic to create good scoring opportunities. In particular, Shaheen was not a player known for his stable form, and it was really difficult for him to play exceptionally in the expedition to Russia.

Of course, Gao Shunyao and Olic were not without chances in the game, whether it was set-pieces or sports battles, they also got a few chances, but unfortunately, they were not able to grasp the opportunities they should have.

In a corner kick opportunity, Gao Shunyao's header had already been grabbed, but because of the pursuit of angle, he hit the ball on the crossbar, and a long shot from Olic in front of the penalty area had been opened, but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper and did not form a goal.

It's not just that it's not because of Turan's injury, but Wolfsburg didn't play well enough in this game. In the end, it was just a draw, and their Champions League journey seemed to have some troubles. Especially thinking that whether it is playing Marseille or Manchester United, Turan will not be able to return in time, and Wolfsburg is even more depressed about his own situation.

However, those things, after all, are still a matter of the future. The biggest difficulty Wolfsburg is facing now is the weekend against Borussia Dortmund. Looking at the players of his team, this is also deeply depressed for Magath: what he is most worried about is that the state of the players is indeed affected by the injury of his teammates, if that is the case, he is afraid that Wolfsburg will definitely lose this game.

And even if you don't consider the state, how to arrange the lineup, how to organize the tactics, this is a very serious problem, and these problems are also difficult for him to solve.

Before the big game even started, the coach was at a loss – which didn't bode well for Wolfsburg. (To be continued.) )
