Section 431 The Hulk
For Wolfsburg, the season has been quite unfriendly, as their squad is extremely tired from playing on two fronts, and it is arguably their greatest blessing to be able to meet a promoted horse, Brunswick, after a series of away games in the Champions League. And if there is anything more gratifying than that, Gao Shunyao continued his good form against Manchester United, and he played quite a wonderful game this time.
In this game, Gao Shunyao scored a beautiful goal for himself soon after the opening. Wolfsburg immediately launched an offensive after the opening, and soon, Gao Shunyao got a long-range shot in front of the penalty area. Faced with this opportunity, Gao Shunyao did not hesitate or hesitate, and he shot directly at the goal more than 20 meters away, breaking through the opponent's defense. The score of 1-0 came quite quickly, and after the opening, Gao Shunyao first took the lead for the team.
This goal, of course, is not the whole story. After 30 minutes of the game, Gao Shunyao found another opportunity. This time, on the edge of the box, Perisic slotted the ball to his feet. Gao Shunyao rushed to the penalty area with the ball, and when the opponent was on the defensive, he suddenly made a quick stop to get rid of the opponent, and then pushed the shot, expanding the score again.
After scoring consecutive goals, he was in the idea of giving him a break, and Gao Shunyao was replaced shortly after the start of the second half. What is quite a pity is that not long after Gao Shunyao left the field, Perisic's breakthrough was tripped by the opposing player in the penalty area, ushering in a penalty opportunity for Wolfsburg.
This penalty made the fans regret it. If Ko had not been substituted at this point, he would have been able to score a hat-trick – he had never scored a hat-trick at club level since arriving in Europe. This is also a small regret. There is such an opportunity but it is missed, which can only make people sigh.
However, Gao Shunyao himself didn't care much about this kind of thing. Anyway, he's back in form, and winning is more important than anything else. Just like in the next game, against Augsburg, he did not score, but it did not prevent Wolfsburg from winning this time. Turan also scored the ball. With a score of 3-0, Wolfsburg won cleanly.
This time the game was different from the previous one, Wolfsburg played away. Because the national team has just ended, the players are a little tired, so they play a defensive counterattack tactic. And in this game, Gao Shunyao did not go to the front to die. He's a little further back. It's more about guiding the goals of his teammates.
His retreat helped his teammates better. In a fast attack, when Perisic sent the ball to his feet with a diagonal ball, he didn't move his position and passed the ball directly to Olic further forward. Although his pass seemed a little too big to be particularly good, Olic was able to catch up with the football in time. A shot on goal and sent the ball into the goal.
A 1-0 score isn't much better. But it's also a win. Gao Shunyao cherishes this victory very much, and this is the result of his efforts.
After the victory over Augsburg, Wolfsburg also ushered in their third Champions League game, facing Zenit.
Zenit is a team that has some rather unusual significance for the Bundesliga. Because just a few years ago, this team and the Bundesliga boss Bayern met once in European competition.
Bayern were very ashamed to mention that as a top team, it was already a great shame to be forced to play in the Europa League, like Chelsea last year, who never considered themselves proud of their Europa League title. Bayern was not as good as Chelsea that year, at least Chelsea won a championship, while Bayern was beaten by Zenit in the final.
The name Zenit represents a very dark past for the Bundesliga team. In those years, due to the problem of funds and lack of funds, it was difficult for Bundesliga teams to show their strength, and they were always taught a lesson in European competitions.
However, if Zenit can defeat Bayern and completely regard it as a problem caused by Bayern's weakness, it is too much to underestimate Zenit, after all, Zenit not only defeated Bayern at that time, but also lost to Zenit in the European Super Cup, even Manchester United, which was in full swing at the time. The team itself is not weak, and they are not opponents to be underestimated.
There are many ways for a team to become a strong team, but there is only one simplest way, and Zenit's strong way is actually similar to Manchester City and Paris, that is, the strength of the team in exchange for crazy investment. It's just that, unlike those teams, in addition to money, they are also outrageously lucky, and it even makes people wonder if UEFA promised them any benefits when they were sponsored by their owners.
Compared to other teams, Zenit's luck is indeed good and a bit outrageous. In the 11-12 season they were in the same group as the Greeks, Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto, and in the 12-13 season they were in a group with Milan, Malaga and Anderlecht.
Although the strength of these teams cannot be said to be weak, they are inferior to the real top teams after all. Being able to be an underdog in the Champions League group stage and always not meet a strong team may make Lyon, who met Real Madrid every year, and Manchester City, who are still struggling in the group stage, jealous. If you really give Manchester City such a group, I am afraid that Manchester City can wake up with a smile in her dreams, and play the group stage with this kind of team, Manchester City will not be embarrassed.
However, as a local tyrant team, Zenit obviously does not have the ability of Manchester City. Although they have a lot of money, they are rarely able to show enough strength in the game. Winning Bayern Munich's Europa League and beating Manchester United to win the Super Cup was indeed their team's crowning moment, but they haven't had a glorious moment since.
The other teams seem to be a god-like grouping, and in their hands, they don't play with god-like momentum. They have a good grouping, but they don't play very well in any year. They seem to have proved perfectly that some teams, even with unbeatable luck, can be embarrassed year after year for playing too badly.
It seems that this year UEFA has lost hope for them, their grouping is no longer good, but more focused on gimmicks. As soon as Ferguson left, Manchester United met Zenit, who made them suffer in the Super Cup, which was obviously a gimmick, and another gimmick, that is, the encounter between Zenit's players Hulk and Gao Shunyao, which is also a big gimmick.
Hulk and Gao Shunyao may not seem to have any similarities at first glance, but if you take a closer look at their backgrounds, you can see that they do have some internal involvement. These two players are both forwards from the J-League, which is a rare thing for the J-League, which has never produced many strikers. What's even more noticeable is that Gao Shunyao was a player from Tokyo FC at the time, and Hulk played for Tokyo Nikshi when he played in Japan - these two teams are rivals in the same city, and they both have strikers who have left the J-League and come to Europe, who is the better one, which is also quite concerned.
Of course, in this contrast, Hulk can be said to have the upper hand.
Zenit's Hulk has long been regarded as one of the strongest players in Europe. This player, who was also born in the J League like Gao Shunyao, has gone all the way up after landing in Europe, from being unknown at the beginning, to now becoming the main player of the Brazilian team, a European red star, and it can be said that he has experienced a very brilliant life. It's just that at his peak, he opted to move to the Russian Premier League, making his career look less remarkable.
Compared with him, Gao Shunyao's career does not seem to be so peak - although he has long been a member of the national team, but when the prefix of the name of the national team is China, there is a huge difference with the prefix of Brazil. Compared with Hulk, Gao Shunyao has experienced three years of hard work in Europe, and now he is recognized, even so, he still relies on himself to play in the Bundesliga, and he is more famous, so he is considered to be able to compare with Hulk.
When it comes to fame, the two of them are really very different. Hulk is too much stronger than Gao Shunyao.
However, although Hulk is famous, when he appeared on the court, Gao Shunyao looked down on him a little. This is not because of any derby-born team, but because Gao Shunyao felt a little ridiculous after seeing his position.
In this game, Hulk did not appear in the middle as a central striker, but on the wing, playing as a winger.
I don't know when it seems to have become a new trend for strong players to play on the wing. It's also quite interesting to have guys who obviously have a center forward around them, but they just have to go to the wing and bully the full-backs with their strength. From Cavani to Hulk, they all seem to like this style of play, and the Belgian little monster Lukaku also likes to pull the side frequently, and it seems that this style of play has become a trend, as if not playing like this, it is not enough to show that he is skilled.
It's just that Gao Shunyao has always looked down on this kind of thing.
Admittedly, it is true that playing on the wing does require more skill than playing in the middle. But as a strong, muscular guy who is known for his muscles, how much skill does it take to run to the wing to bully the wide players? This kind of thing, even Gao Lin can do it, what's the big deal? A strong player should naturally face all kinds of confrontations and interceptions in the middle, and run to the side to show off his might, what is it?
Cavani is just that, he can't compete with Forlan and Suarez was forced, and Hulk also played like this, which can only make Gao Shunyao look down on him.
Whose Hulk is so bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?
Such a guy, no matter how famous he is, there is nothing to be afraid of in his bones. Playing with him, Gao Shunyao is full of confidence. (To be continued.) )
