Section 346 Tactical Victory

In fact, Danilo's idea is somewhat boring, although Wolfsburg is not bad, but it is not strong enough to hide its strength when facing a team like Porto. They are not the top giants in Europe, the main team can be rotated to play the weak team, as an ordinary strong team, they also need to put 100% energy into every game to be able to play good enough football.

It's just that Danilo's opinion, if you look at it from his point of view, is indeed not unreasonable, first, Wolfsburg did play better this game than the last time they faced Porto - in that game, Wolfsburg was about to face Bayern, and they were not in the mood to play this kind of pressing tactics to waste their energy. Second, before the Wolfsburg game, there was also an in-depth discussion about Porto, how to deal with Porto, Wolfsburg did not think carefully.

'Porto are a very strong team, there's no denying that. If we don't do something about it, it's going to be very difficult for us to win. They have a lot of players and we have to find a way to deal with them – we don't have an advantage in terms of player quality, we get it back tactically. ”

Before the match against Porto, facing the whole Wolfsburg team, Magath directly expressed his opinion. As for his direct statement that his players are not as good as others, although the Wolfsburg players are dissatisfied, they can only accept it: after all, Magath did not say anything wrong, Porto's players are indeed very strong, these guys are all tens of millions of worth of players, and playing with them, just look at the lineup Wolfsburg is not occupied.

Those tens of millions of players. The geniuses in the eyes of the giants are not in vain, and they completely surpass Wolfsburg in terms of value. But compared to them. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, are a more mature team, which they can't match.

"We've all seen it. Porto played well, but they lacked some variation in their tactics compared to us. They're a bit overly dependent on the quality of the players, so we're going to take advantage of that. We set traps for them, let their players get the ball in important positions more, we flank them, and then we have a much better chance of winning. ”

Before the game, Magath made the corresponding arrangements. Although he is very envious of Porto's squad, but for the tactics of the Portuguese Super League team. He didn't really look down on it. No matter how you say it, he is also a famous coach in the Bundesliga, and as long as there is no more Mourinho in the Portuguese Super League, it will be difficult to compete with him for victory. Jose Mourinho is not that easy to find, and the current Porto coach is clearly not.

As he said, although Porto have a strong team, it is also obvious that they are tactically inadequate. The tactics are simple and the dependence on the ability of the players is very serious, which is also an inherent big problem. If they meet a team like Bayern. The players are not worse than theirs, and the tactical setup is extremely good, and the layers of defense are meticulous and in place, which can suffocate people to death. Porto basically didn't stand a chance at all.

Of course, Wolfsburg is not Bayern, although they are not bad defensively. But there is no Lahm, there is no world's top midfield combination. They can't afford to play Bayern's kind of brilliant defense. So, what exactly should be done in the face of such an opponent? on this. Magath also has his own means of coping for a long time.

He asked Wolfsburg to be in a less important position and not to pay too much attention. And for those players who have the ball in important positions, Wolfsburg has to block their actions at the first time. At the same time, pay attention to blocking long passes, not allowing the ball to enter the penalty area, pay attention to blocking the inside cut, and not let the opponent form a cooperation before the penalty area, but welcome the opponent who wants to play alone - this is the defensive idea of Wolfsburg.

If the other party's strength is very strong, then they will also have blind self-confidence. Even if they don't get into the box, as long as the ball gets to their feet easily and forces them to pick up the ball in a less dangerous position, the better players won't care too much. However, with the ball in these positions, the threat itself is not too great, and under the siege of Wolfsburg, they cannot do more, and with these, Wolfsburg's defensive system has been established.

It is precisely because of this that after Danilo on the side got the ball, Wolfsburg only defended alone, blocked too much contact between him and the middle, did not let him cut inside, did not let him play high, blocked all these kicks, and then, if he wanted to cooperate with the ground, Wolfsburg simply ignored it. Martinez in the penalty area can't get the ball, the ball will only fall to the feet of J Ronaldo in front of the penalty area, once he gets the ball, he will immediately encounter the siege of three people in different directions, although his strength is strong, he can only return with hatred.

Wolfsburg really can't establish a division of labor and a clear defense like Bayern, but they can do a very good job of doing some targeted defense against an opponent who is not too strong. In the last game, their main focus was not on the stadium with Porto, and Porto was naturally very easy to deal with, but this time Wolfsburg's energy returned, and Porto naturally faced big trouble.

It's not easy for them to score goals.

Of course, they didn't give up their efforts, and the opening fast break didn't work, but Ronaldo kept trying. If you get the ball in front of the penalty area, you will be surrounded by opponents, and he also understands a little that Wolfsburg's tactics are aimed at him. He quickly changed his strategy and wanted to blast the back of the net with a long-range shot.

It's a pity, where is it so easy to score from a long shot? It's true that he scored in the last game, but there is no reason why he has good luck in every game. He was clearly out of luck in this game, his long-range shot went straight high, and he didn't threaten at all.

The tactics were blocked, the fairy ball could not be kicked out, and Porto's attack also suffered a major setback.

However, even so, they still have the upper hand. Porto have cleverly opted for a defensive-oriented style of play, which can be said to be a good strategy. Although Porto's attack is not effective, as long as the attack on Wolfsburg's side can't be played, then the final winner is still Porto.

Of course, their ideas are good, but it's a pity that Wolfsburg won't let their dreams last long. The start was rushed, and Wolfsburg's attack was a little slower, but when their attack unfolded, they immediately showed their unstoppable momentum.

Soon, when the football fell to Rodriguez, he also opted for the same side-by-side attack. It's just that Wolfsburg's attack is slightly different from Porto's, they didn't let Perisic go straight into the box, instead, he was not far from Rodriguez, and he was also playing on the wing. Behind him, Shaheen had already moved closer, and obviously, the three of them were on the flanks, forming an offensive triangle.

Wolfsburg's attack is not as multi-faceted as Porto's. With no one in front of the penalty area, their attacking style looks more one-dimensional than Porto's. However, this single attack on Wolfsburg is very threatening: the three of them concentrate on the wing, not giving the opponent the possibility of defending at all, and obviously have made up their minds to make wide crosses anyway.

Wide crosses aren't a creative way to attack, but it's another thing because Wolfsburg have a high striker. It's just that the high striker will be able to score? This question also depends on the confrontation between the center and the defender.

On the field, watching his teammates attack, Gao Shunyao was also running around in the penalty area, but the mangala next to him did not relax a single step, staring closely at his movements. In the last game, Mangala was quite embarrassed by him, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again this time. For Gao Shunyao, he will not give him a chance at all.

After losing once, he didn't want to lose a second time. If Gao Shunyao scores again, he will be very faceless.

Mangala has outstanding strength, he wants to lock Gao Shunyao, and he did this, even if Gao Shunyao has moved very far, he still follows. Wolfsburg's pass came, and Gao Shunyao was indeed unable to compete for the header under his watch.

However, Mangala didn't laugh out loud because behind him, Mandzukic had already rushed up. At this point, Mangala realized that in order to defend Gao Shunyao, he was too late to defend!

All he could do was watch Mandzukic jump high behind him. Although Otamendi wanted to intercept, he lowered his height and had nothing to do, he could only watch as Mandzukic hit the net with a header!

1-0!

Gao Shunyao at the edge of the penalty area slapped him hard, and this goal made him ecstatic!

In the last match, Gao Shunyao and Mangala faced off against the whole court, and he has already found that his physical advantage alone is not enough to defeat Mangala. Mangala's physical fitness is too good, and such a brute does make it difficult for him.

However, Wolfsburg do not have only one striker, in addition to him, Wolfsburg also have Mandzukic, and on Porto's side, in addition to Mangala, their other defender Otamendi's height is a big problem. For golf, the mangala need to juggle two people at the same time, and that's their biggest flaw.

Therefore, after that game, Gao Shunyao also thought of a way: to lure Mangala away and create opportunities for Mandzukic. He wouldn't have scored, but what difference did it make if another Wolfsburg striker scored in the middle of the game?

Gao Shunyao influenced the opponent's judgment in front, and Mandzukic inserted a header behind his back to win-this tactic has long been discussed by Wolfsburg. The opposing defenders have shortcomings, and they naturally want to take advantage of them.

Defensively, they can defend against Porto, offensively, how can they lose to them? Porto are strong, but against Wolfsburg, they are not necessarily the winners.

In the opening 30 minutes, Porto conceded a goal and completely lost their advantage. With a big score of 2-2, Wolfsburg has regained its disadvantage by scoring away goals. (To be continued.) )
