The opening goal, the expansion of the score, and a header by Mandzukic made the Wolfsburg fans fall into a joy from the beginning of the game. Before the arrival of this game, they were also the crowd who were kept in the dark by the team, they thought that their team would play very conservatively against a strong opponent, but the unexpected surprise made their emotions soar like never before, and around the stadium, from the beginning of the goal, the singing never stopped.

Standing on the sidelines of the pitch, Pellegrini also had to admit that in this game, Magath thought smarter than him. He used to think that the German coach was just a physical trainer with a bit of a nervous brain, but now it seems that he still takes it too lightly. In this game, from the pre-match publicity to the game layout, Magath was able to do so well, so he has to admit that the coach can also play something when he needs it.

Although this coach has never understood the psychology of the players, it is clear that he can play psychological warfare. And although this coach has always been known for his almost demanding physical requirements for his players, it is clear that he also understands the importance and significance of physical distribution. The tactical level of his team is still quite good, even if it is some details, you can see it.

On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini had already admitted that his opponent was excellent, and this game, if it was only because Wolfsburg relied on the pre-match set-up to confuse Manchester City, would not have made Pellegrini realize the level of the opponent so quickly. He was more concerned with the details of the game than the smoke bombs, for example, Wolfsburg decided to attack immediately at the beginning of the game, which made him admire.

At this point in time, Wolfsburg chose very correctly.

In terms of attack power, Manchester City is indeed much stronger than Wolfsburg. Their players are good enough to give them the upper hand on the field. However, Manchester City's game, after all, is an away game. It is not easy to play on a foreign court away from your own country, unless you have excellent offensive skills, or your strength is one or two grades stronger than your opponent, or your opponent is too absent-minded when you play, otherwise, it is not so easy to win.

Through the last game, Wolfsburg has been very sure of one thing: although Manchester City's attack is strong, although it can completely suppress Wolfsburg, but because its own style of play is closer to the local style of play in the Premier League, rather than the more modern continental football school, so when attacking, Manchester City's attack can not be regarded as particularly sharp, at least in the European battlefield, Wolfsburg is very sure that it is difficult for them to form a fast and smooth attack immediately after the opening, which poses too much threat to Wolfsburg.

In away games, Manchester City always need time to adjust to the width and length of the opponent's pitch and get used to it with one or two passes. Long passes require a slightly lower degree of accuracy than precise ground coordination, but because they are not so precise, they are also more likely to be blocked by precise defense. Manchester City, who are playing away, have to adapt to the game. After all, they are a Premier League team and long balls are a bit more important in attack.

And it was taking advantage of their unaccustomed time that Wolfsburg launched an attack with confidence.

Of course, Wolfsburg is not without worry, Aguero's level is too high, maybe it will really make Wolfsburg suffer as soon as it comes up. However, if that's the case, Wolfsburg is estimated to be even more unable to hold it, so it's better to just fight. Attacking immediately after the start was the best time to attack anyway, and the timing proved that they did it right.

And it has to be said that Wolfsburg's offense also paid attention to details. Compared to the previous game, they obviously paid more attention to the coordination of the front line this time. In the last game, Wolfsburg's attack was actually not too good, they had too many long-range shots, which is not a good phenomenon. In that game, City's defenders played quite well, and they put a lot of pressure on Wolfsburg on the pitch. This time, Wolfsburg immediately made adjustments, and the excellent cooperation of Perisic, Gao Shunyao, and Mandzukic is the best proof that they have changed their attacking tactics, and scoring goals is also the best reward for them.

Mandzukic's header put Manchester City in a backward position in just ten minutes. The current situation is becoming more and more favorable for Wolfsburg. Looking at such a score, Pellegrini can only sigh.

With a score of 3-1 and two away goals in hand, Wolfsburg's advantage can be said to be surprisingly big. Manchester City need to score at least three goals in this game if they want to beat Wolfsburg, and it has to be said that this is too difficult.

Wolfsburg's home stadium is good after all, even this season, their own home stadium has been attacked by a strong team like Bayern, but the strength is still quite impressive. It is not easy to score three goals in one go on this field, and if it is so simple, Bayern a few days ago will not stop their long winning streak on Wolfsburg.

Bayern with Ribery and Robben is playing at home, and it is not easy to score a goal, even if Manchester City is stronger, Aguero's strength is against the sky, and they have scruples about playing unlike Bayern, and they can play more fully - however, they are playing away from home, and they have many disadvantages, but they may not play better.

For example, compared to the visible impact of goal difference, this goal conceded also has a great blow to the mentality of Manchester City's players, and this invisible impact should be said to be extremely huge.

Pellegrini knows very well that through this goal, another huge gain for Wolfsburg is that it has successfully given Manchester City a psychological shadow.

Over the past few years, Manchester City have struggled very poorly in the Champions League. Even this year, they were squeezed to second place in the group stage, playing at home, and were defeated by Wolfsburg 2-1. Manchester City's players have always had some difficulty accepting their Champions League journey. Before this game, the players of Manchester City were only afraid that they were also a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

This dissatisfaction is a reflection of the team's policy of placing more emphasis on the league, as well as self-doubt that they themselves have always failed to play in the Champions League: it is true that almost every one of these players plays at Manchester City, and almost every one of them has a very high salary and is rewarded with league honours. But compared to those things, what they want more is still to win the game. It is always impossible to win, even the most generous athletes are difficult to be calm, and the most difficult thing to accept Manchester City's Champions League results is not the media but themselves.

Of course, even if there are emotions, Manchester City's stars have been playing football for a long time, and they know how to control themselves. And Wolfsburg is really weak in their eyes, which makes them still have the courage to break Wolfsburg's stubborn defense and win even if they have doubts about their own strength. Before the game, Pellegrini also mobilized them for a long time to mobilize their emotions, so that they could play better in this game.

But who would have thought that Wolfsburg didn't spend so much effort with them in this game, and it was a goal in ten minutes, which directly expanded their disadvantage. The players, who were already self-doubting, saw hope getting farther and farther away from them again in the game, and their emotions were out of control again.

It's always that bad in the Champions League and it's hard for a player to accept. Wolfsburg easily widened the scoreline, which made it more difficult for the City players to maintain all their energy during the game. Manuel Pellegrini wants the team to go all out and bring down Wolfsburg with all their might, and it's hard to do that now because these players simply can't give it their all.

What's more, because of Wolfsburg's goal, Manchester City also lost the lead in this game. Unlike the last game, although Manchester City also conceded the goal first, it was able to control the situation and was able to tie for a while, and saw the hope of a reversal.

And the situation controlled by Wolfsburg will naturally not go according to Manchester City's ideas. What they think no one knows. For example, now, with such an advantage, Wolfsburg did not immediately shrink, but continued to attack continuously. Their two wingers were still taking turns plugging in, and there didn't seem to be any sign of contraction, which made Pellegrini unaware of their thoughts.

How are Wolfsburg's tactics arranged? Manchester City's players watched Wolfsburg's attack from the pitch and couldn't help but be suspicious. After the first 20 minutes, Manchester City have gradually adapted to the grass of Wolfsburg. After the opening period, if you play the attack again, Wolfsburg is properly going to fail. Compared to attacking, their more correct approach was obviously to shrink, and now Wolf Castle is still not shrinking and defending.

What the hell is Wolfsburg trying to do? Do they have some other conspiracy? The Manchester City players are also skeptical. Wolfsburg played a beautiful hand before the game, successfully letting Manchester City step into the trap, and it is precisely because of this that Wolfsburg will wonder if they have any conspiracy to do anything now. On the pitch, they were also playing suspiciously, and they couldn't launch any decent attacks.

Emotional breakdown, self-doubt, and falling behind in the overall situation, Manchester City is now facing multiple blows. And among these multiple blows, if there are any bright spots, then Aguero on the court may be the only bright spot.
