Before the match with Dortmund, Magat, who has always regarded himself very highly and has a big temper, rarely felt a trace of unease. Wolfsburg have suffered a series of injuries this season, and the team is now in trouble on both fronts, so the coach, who still vowed to lead the team to another glory at the beginning of the season, smelled some dangerous smells in the air.

Although Magath is now a well-known champion coach in the Bundesliga, he has not been without encountering various crises with the team back then. Whether it is at Bayern or Schalke, his dismissal is not particularly decent, and it can even be said that his reputation in those places has become stinky. And those crises, in addition to the style he led the team, are not unrelated to the results of the team he led.

After many unhappy breakups, Magath also has some experience with the team's crisis situation. He knows how to tell if his team is in danger and how to analyze the future of the team through the current situation of the team. And this time, faintly, he has already felt the trouble, Wolfsburg has played until now, injury problems, two-line combat problems, player morale problems have all surfaced, for a team, this is not a sign of a championship.

Maybe men's intuition is unreliable, but a coach's judgment of his own team is more about experience than just unreasonable intuition. At least Magath is convinced that his own judgment is not unjustified and not entirely wrong.

As the weekend approached, Wolfsburg picked up their mood and became more aware of his judgment when he greeted the visiting Borussia Dortmund at his home stadium. Just after the whistle blew, it didn't take long for Magath to have a stronger premonition on both sides of the match.

In this game, Wolfsburg played a little badly.

Of course, this kind of badness. It wasn't quite the same as the listlessness he expected. Although the players have just experienced injuries, the mood of the players seems to have recovered a lot in the weekend game. At least on the pitch, they are still running aggressively, not because of their bad luck lately. It completely degenerates into a swarm of lazy insects.

Even, after the start of the game, Wolfsburg played to suppress Dortmund at the beginning: after all, in this game, Wolfsburg's long-lost main striker returned, although he lost one of his main teammates, but the return of another teammate cheered up the players a lot, and they still played the field. This can also be said to be a blessing in misfortune.

Regardless of the team's results, the players are still willing to play, and that's a great thing: and seeing this, Magath has to admit that he used to be a little worried. Wolfsburg's players may not be as good as some of the top teams, but when it comes to work ethic, they are pretty good. And some players because they think they are unlucky. Unlike no longer playing seriously, the Wolfsburg players have a good work ethic. They at least know very well that the game is not for others to play no matter what, and the Wolfsburg players still can't do it if they give up this kind of thing easily.

Moreover, the morale of this game, although Wolfsburg. Mandzukic has also been improved a lot by the return.

After all, after leaving the main squad for a long time, Mandzukic regained the opportunity to play in this game, and played very the court. And following in his footsteps, the players of Wolfsburg. I also have a good fighting spirit. At the start of the game, Wolfsburg had absolutely no problems and played no worse than usual.

Moreover, Mandzukic's return has done more than that.

Mandzukic's comeback is obviously a big change for Wolfsburg. After not returning to the pitch for two months, he was back in the field, which also surprised Dortmund a little. Mandzukic is almost healed from his injury, and Dortmund knows it, but even so, in such an important game, it is somewhat surprising to directly play a player who has just recovered from injury. Just suffered Turan's injury, but Wolfsburg immediately brought Mandzukic back, are they hiding such a killer feature? This question also made Dortmund a little conservative at the beginning of the game.

Fighting at home, the main force is back, and in the face of such an opponent, no matter how bold Dortmund is, he still chooses to be careful. And the conservative opponent, coupled with the home game - Wolfsburg, can be said to have started quite well. However, things have changed a lot as the game has evolved.

And if there is one change that has changed the most, it is Marin, who replaced Turan.

Before this round of the league, Magath had been hesitant for a long time about who should be the team's starting wing-back. Marin has better technique, Stindall is more serious, and the two can be said to have their own advantages. And after thinking about it for a long time, especially after watching the video of the game with Zenit, in the end, Magath still chose to use Marin as the team's starter.

Compared to Stindel, he still preferred to bet on Marin's role. The opponent is a strong team of Dortmund's level, and it is difficult for Stindl to play after he comes on the field, and with his level, it is impossible to break out in good form no matter what, at most it is decent and does not concede goals from him. However, this is not what Wolfsburg wanted, they wanted to play better.

Compared to him, Marin has a great chance of playing a mess, but if he can find his form and help the team score a goal, then Wolfsburg will be considered earned.

Anyway, he has the ability to do so – even for the sake of the former German Messi's fame, Magath would rather gamble.

But apparently, he lost the bet.

On the pitch, Marin's form has not changed much from the previous period, and he can't play Turan's role at all in Wolfsburg's attack.

Because it is a home game, Wolfsburg is also the side that attacks more after the start of the game. After getting the ball in the middle of Wolfsburg once, after one or two passes, the ball reached Shaheen in midfield. Standing in the midfield, facing the opponent's slightly tight defense, Shaheen did not choose to directly dribble the ball to break through, he nudged and sent the ball to the feet of Marin on the right side, hoping that Marin would try to break through with the ball in the front court and cut the opponent's backline.

This kind of cooperation is often done in Wolf Castle. If Turan gets the ball, he will cut into the middle as soon as he dribbles the ball, and at the same time allow him to plug in on the right side, and the center forward will pull out in the penalty area, and the team will form a triangular pass attack combination on the right wing. One person attacking is always less deterrent than three people attacking, and this style of play is also their consistent tactic.

But this time, Marin took the ball, but did not immediately cut inside, after receiving the ball, he stepped on the ball, first looked up for an opportunity, and after seeing that there was no opportunity to pass the ball immediately, he took the ball and slowly moved towards the middle.

There wasn't much of a mistake in his choice, and the reason why he wanted to slow down was to give himself room to accelerate his breakthrough. But the biggest problem with his approach is that he and his teammates are not in the same rhythm at all.

Rong inserted on the side is a bit of a dilemma at this time, the attack slows down, which has a great impact on the wide players, if he continues to rush forward, it is very likely to be blocked on this side, especially the opponent's counterattack is very fast, which makes a fullback a lot of pressure. And if he falls back, it will put the full-back in danger, and no matter what, it will be difficult to deal with the trouble of breaking through with the ball alone.

This is not the rhythm that Wolfsburg's tactics have always liked, and this sudden slowdown in tempo will not only affect the attack, but may even affect the defense. Ma Lin thought about how he was the most happy, but he ignored that he didn't play the game alone.

Sometimes, the players don't fit in, largely because they take themselves too seriously.

Rong was also a little depressed about his approach. But apparently, he didn't have to worry about it for long. Marin in the middle has not yet broken through a few steps before he is already in trouble, and the most frustrating thing is that although he has made all the preparations just now, but in the face of Dortmund's defense, Marin still encountered problems.

Wolfsburg's attack attracted the attention of Dortmund, and Kyle posted it at the first time and immediately stuck to Marin. And at the same time as he pasted it, Bender also rushed over together, and the two of them completed a pincer quite beautifully, rushing towards Marlin from two different directions.

In this case, the best thing to do is to pass the ball as soon as possible - on the side of the penalty area, Gao Shunyao has already begun to withdraw sharply, and he is also the best point of play. However, Marin didn't do that, he took the ball, first half-turned to avoid Kyle, and then immediately tried to dummy past Bender, trying to make a one-two in the middle.

Relying on technology to deal with two by one person - Marin's choice at this time is simply surprising. It's not a bad thing for a technical player to have confidence. But if you come out of faith because you are bursting with confidence, that's a bad thing. Seeing him play like this, two Dortmund defenders immediately rushed together. Just when Marin's feint did not shake off Bender and wanted to dunk the ball to protect it, Kyle made a steal and had already cut the ball off.

It's not so easy to get over two, especially two players who are well coordinated. Germany's Messi is not Messi after all, and his strength can't do that.

The attack on Wolfsburg ended like this. Kyle, who got the ball, immediately kicked the ball out and helped Dortmund launch a counterattack. It wasn't just a successful defence, it should have been a successful attack for Borussia Dortmund.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is: Dortmund can see clearly this attack, Wolfsburg is afraid that there is no backhand to deal with Turan's injury, otherwise they will not put a Marin.

It was only one round for them to see the weakness of Wolfsburg, and that was the most troublesome thing. (To be continued.) )
