After the cup loss, Guardiola's explanation was still agreed by many media, and the media was definitely very supportive of such a plan to prepare for the Champions League early. -79- Although Bayern has lost in the cup competition, but thinking about the possible future Champions League defense, the media is now full of praise for Guardiola's choice.

Pep Guardiola has not been overly embarrassed, after all, as a world-class manager, Guardiola has always had a good relationship with the media. He has never been a coach who likes to work against the media, so a lot of the time, the media is willing to say good things about him. Faster, losing the cup is really not a big deal for Bayern, and the Bundesliga media is still full of support for the coach who has just led the team to win the league championship.

The media did not suspect that Guardiola was merely making excuses for his own failures. After all, the Bundesliga media all want to see Bayern win the Champions League again, and they are still willing to believe Guardiola. Their thoughts are as strong as the Bundesliga media want to see Wolfsburg's successful victory over Atletico Madrid, which will make the Bundesliga side win the Champions League final for the second year in a row.

Last year's Champions League final, Bayern Munich and "■ 79, M. Dort 'Monde' division final, much to the German media are extremely proud. And this year's Bundesliga also seems to have the possibility of replicating last year's success. Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg are now in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the media are hoping to see them beat La Liga teams again and face off again in the Champions League final.

It is true that Wolfsburg seems to be a little inferior to Dort 'Monte', but Atletico Madrid is also less famous than Real Madrid. Since Wolfsburg has been able to come all the way here as a dark horse. So it's not impossible to get a black in the end, for these two in the Champions League. The teams that continue to shine in the Bundesliga are now being watched by the media to see them shine again.

And for continuing to create brilliance in the Champions League. It's not just the media that expects that. The Wolfsburg players are also looking forward to this. In fact, after the game with Bayern, the Wolfsburg players have been fully engaged in preparing for the upcoming Champions League match, and even the remaining four rounds of the league have been completely left behind - at the last moment, Wolfsburg still chose to abandon the league and chose the Champions League as their goal.

On the one hand, the choice is because the Champions League is indeed more important. On the other hand, their choice is also related to the fact that the rest of the league is not easy to play.

In the last four rounds of Wolfsburg, the opponents are Hamburg, Freiburg, and Stuttgart, and if you really want to win these games, it is estimated that it will not be particularly easy. The first three teams are now in the league standings at 14,15. 16, even the highest-ranked Freiburg has not gotten rid of the 'shadow' of the relegation zone, in order to relegation. They're going to be desperate for the game as well. And the last team, Menxing, is now sixth in the league, for them. A place in the European competition will also make them very 'excited'. It's impossible to give up easily.

The pursuit of the opponent will make these teams all very 'colorful' hard bones. After all, no team can sit back and watch their team be relegated. And Wolfsburg, which is already destined to have no league title. If you play hard against these teams in the league, then it's really boring. There is no need for his team to fight further, and he has to 'spend' a lot of effort to deal with the relegation team, which is also quite an inauthentic thing, and maybe it will make the two clubs feud, and Wolfsburg is not ready to do this.

In comparison, it seems more rewarding to try to win in the Champions League. Therefore, Wolfsburg also made a decision early: there is no need to fight for league results, the second and third are acceptable, and the two results are not much different for them anyway, as long as they can get results in the Champions League.

The results of the top four are actually satisfactory results for Wolfsburg. To be able to enter the semi-finals has already achieved the goal that many teams dream of, and it would have been very difficult to go any further, but since you have reached this position, it is a pity not to try it.

Therefore, after defeating Bayern and confirming their successful qualification for the German Cup, Wolfsburg also put their 'essence' on the Champions League during this time. Although they are not like Bayern, they can give up the cup title for the Champions League, but at least for the Champions League, they are still willing to see how to prepare for the opponent.

During this time, their main thing to do is to watch the game of Atletico Madrid in their own team and learn all the information about the opponent they are about to face.

And after understanding, they also found that this opponent is indeed not very easy to deal with.

Their opponents are strong, something they've known for a long time. Atletico Madrid's league results this season can be described as very 'outstanding', now the 34 rounds of La Liga have passed, Atletico Madrid is 4 points ahead of Barcelona in the second place in the league, and 5 points is superior to the city rival Real Madrid, and has achieved the lead in the league standings.

It is not easy for any team to beat the two teams in the Spanish Super League, especially the current Spanish Super League duo, which does not seem to show any signs of decline: admittedly, compared to the previous years when their two teams won triple-digit points, they now seem to have regressed, but just look at the fact that they are still nearly 20 points ahead of Athletic Bilbao, who are fourth in the league, and you know that they still have an overwhelming 'sex' advantage in La Liga. And when they can still play such results, Atletico can be on par with them, which has to be admired for their quality.

How difficult it is to compete with super strong teams, Wolfsburg knows in their hearts, after all, there is such a behemoth in their league. Last season, Bayern's center forward was injured for half a season, and they were neck and neck, and this season Bayern's staffing was further strengthened, and Wolfsburg easily got rid of a dozen league points. Competing with such a team, on the one hand, the opponent's 'outstanding' strength makes it almost impossible for his team to make mistakes in any game, and on the other hand, it also requires a strong psychological endurance to be able to persevere all the way.

And now it seems that Atletico Madrid have done both things very well, otherwise they would not be the top of the league. Over the past season, Wolfsburg has also heard a lot of rumours about Atletico. Whether it is their top goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, or their outstanding striker Diego Costa, or their midfielder Koke, as well as coach Simonni and others, it has been a very eye-catching name during this time, and it is difficult for Wolfsburg not to know. And what is the strength of this team, Wolfsburg also wants to take a good look.

In the past few days, they have been watching the video in their own team, and they also know a lot about Atletico.

"First of all, we have to admit that we are a very strong opponent. It is definitely no accident that they can become the top of La Liga now. Look at their defense, it's really 'good', a guy like that, it's going to be a good opponent. ”

After studying the footage of Atletico, the Wolfsburg players are also talking about their feelings. As for this opponent, Mandzukic was the first to express his opinion, and his opinion also made his teammates around him nod yes.

Indeed, if there is one thing that Atletico cares about the most, it is the monkey team's defence.

Atletico Madrid's tactics make Wolfsburg really feel a little familiar: in terms of high-level 'pressing' grabbing, they are very similar to Dort's 'Monde', their siege is as sharp as it will cause great trouble to the opponent, but after the failure of the front-court siege, their sense of hierarchy and defensive strength behind the retreat defense is very similar to the level of Bayern last season, and they also grasp the defensive hierarchy and position.

Their defense seems to have successfully combined the advantages of the other two teams in the Bundesliga, and such defensive characteristics are also amazing: as old rivals, the players of Wolfsburg know very well that Dort's 'mond' counter-robbery is largely due to the cooperation of their players in the front court, which also makes their positional defensive ability slightly insufficient. Bayern's positional defense is of course extremely good, but in comparison, in order to retreat in time, their frontcourt 'force' grabbing strength is also inferior to Dort's 'Meng'. And if you want to make the frontcourt counter-robbery and the backcourt positional battle defense have such a perfect connection, this is something that Bayern and Dort 'Monde' have not done, and it takes a lot of effort to have this kind of defensive ability, Wolfsburg can also imagine. With this kind of defense, Atletico is really strong and terrifying.

For a long time, La Liga teams have not been particularly praised for their defensive skills, and compared to the generally good offensive skills of La Liga teams, La Liga teams have rarely been unanimously recognized in football when it comes to defense. Even when Barcelona is at its strongest, their defense is not top-notch, and Real Madrid's defense has become a laughing stock in football around the world from time to time. Compared with their two opponents in the same league, Atletico Madrid's current defensive performance is simply surprising, and such a defense is simply top-notch.

Wolfsburg has already encountered Chelsea in the previous Champions League games, but even Chelsea, compared to the defense of this Atletico Madrid, it cannot be said to be more victorious. Chelsea have a strong focus on mid-length interceptions and sweeps, and their midfielders make them a formidable player against any opponent. However, in terms of defensive hierarchy and overall formation, they are indeed inferior to this Atletico team.

The advantage of this more holistic defensive tactic is that they can better balance attack and defend – and that's something Atletico do well.
