Section 359 Inducement and Reflection

Standing on the field, looking at Mourinho, who was more excited than the players on the sidelines, frantically doing celebrations, Gao Shunyao was also slightly annoyed in his heart that this game would be played like this. Trailing 2-0 at home and the opposing coach's cheering and celebrating, this is not the scenario Wolfsburg players want to see.

In his home game, he was so easily won 2-0 by the opponent, and watching the crazy celebration of the opposing coach, Gao Shunyao's heart also felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't the result he wanted, and although he was mentally prepared to lose before the game, a big defeat at home was definitely not what he wanted.

Looking at the other party's fanaticism, in the bottom of his heart, Gao Shunyao forced himself to calm down. He knew that the other person was also excited, and the calmer he had to be, the more he could figure out what the problem was. What went wrong with your team? From seeing the opponent's second goal, Gao Shunyao also began to think about this problem.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Gao Shunyao actually already had an answer in his heart: the biggest reason why this game was played so badly should actually be because Wolfsburg was led by Real Madrid almost all the time. This game is played like this, and the biggest contributor on Real Madrid's side can be said to be Mourinho.

When he was playing football just now, because of excessive self-pity and wanting to find the reason from himself, Gao Shunyao didn't realize that Real Madrid's strength was the fundamental reason for losing. But now, as the mood calmed down, Gao Shunyao also discovered that in the final analysis, it was not Wolfsburg that really decided the victory, but Real Madrid.

The tactical arrangement of a football team is, in the final analysis, to compete for the initiative on the playing field. If a team's tactical design is good enough, then on the pitch. They are able to take the initiative big enough to make the most of the responses.

It's a very basic football philosophy. There are also a lot of tactics derived from this concept. Barcelona's football philosophy has always emphasized possession because they believe that as long as they can control the football. They have a much bigger initiative than their opponents, they can make all kinds of choices, and all the opponent can do is just watch and defend passively.

It's no secret that Mourinho and Barcelona have not always been very friendly. But that doesn't mean he won't absorb the right things in Barcelona's philosophy. In fact, there were times when he was more thorough than Barcelona. His approach isn't just on the pitch, and there are times when he doesn't refuse to use off-the-beaten-track moves. For example, Mourinho has always done a great job of using the media.

Before this round. The media has repeatedly stressed how Real Madrid are being targeted by Carlo Ancelotti's team and are powerless. The existence of the controversial ball makes this round of matches look like Mourinho has picked up a big bargain. Coupled with Real Madrid's poor league results this season, it seems that people have found a trick to deal with Real Madrid. Mourinho seems to be out of order, his tactics are outdated, and the media comments have been creating that sound.

This kind of comment has always been heard, and even Wolfsburg has heard a lot. It is precisely because Wolfsburg is afraid of Real Madrid's strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has heard that the other party has weaknesses. Therefore, when facing Real Madrid, Wolfsburg will deliberately adjust its defense line and try to have a defensive counterattack with Real Madrid, so as to defeat Real Madrid.

But. Wolfsburg has overlooked a very important thing: Real Madrid's Champions League controversy is due to Ancelotti's targeted play. However, Magath is not Ancelotti. Ancelotti is best known for his tactics, but he is best known for his devilish training. Tactically, he is not as good as Mourinho. Even if you make up your mind, you just stick to it. Wolfsburg is unlikely to have much of an advantage. It is estimated that no one in this world will play defensive counterattack better than Mourinho, and how much advantage can Wolfsburg have when playing defensive counterattack with him?

But these Wolfsburg didn't expect that, because of the constant rumors in the media, Wolfsburg subconsciously believed that Ancelotti's way to deal with Mourinho was the best. They learned from Carlo Ancelotti's approach, but it was clearly not suitable for Wolfsburg, which led to their heads being broken in front of Real Madrid.

After the controversial goal, Mourinho also made some defenses for Real Madrid, but he has not refuted the words of others that Ancelotti beat him, and now that I think about it, he does not feel that he is really inferior to Ancelotti, but it is more likely that he deliberately wants to let other opponents go into more dead ends. Wolfsburg was the victim, and was defeated by Real Madrid.

Their own team has to attack: Wolfsburg has no chance to defend it. and Mourinho are more than shrinking, just sitting and waiting to die. In contrast, there may be a glimmer of life when attacking out, and after all, you are fighting at home, and in a familiar environment, you may not have no chance at all.

This was something that Wolfsburg should have thought of earlier. Against a team like Real Madrid, they lost half of their own timid before fighting, and then formulating tactics based on their past performances fell into the rhythm of the opponent.

And playing with a coach of Mourinho's level and following his rhythm, it's no wonder if you don't lose.

They didn't understand this truth at first, but now Gao Shunyao understands it, but it's a little late. Mourinho deserves to be a top coach, such a small trick has already made Wolfsburg pay a heavy price, and Gao Shunyao is a little admired.

However, this also made Gao Shunyao a lot easier. Anyway, Wolfsburg is already down 0-2, so there is no point in holding on any longer. It's redundant to wait any longer, and it's better to rush out and have a head-to-head confrontation with your opponent.

Gao Shunyao gradually figured out this truth, but new problems also followed. How can this head-to-head confrontation break down the opponent's defenses? This is also a big problem.

Mourinho as a coach, although he has always been criticized for attacking, he is still famous, which is not unrelated to his excellence and persistence in defensive counter-attacking tactics.

Any team that is good at counter-attacking has a good backline, and if a team doesn't even have a backline, then there is no way to talk about counterattacking. Jose Mourinho has been reprimanded by many for being conservative, and the conservative coach is unusually serious about his defence.

The same is true for Jose Mourinho, who has been in charge of Real Madrid for so long and has been most complained about because he has not played well enough at Real Madrid, but few people dare to say that his team's backline is poor. Even those who hate him the most have to admit that Real Madrid are a very good team to defend.

The backline composed of Varane and Ramos is still quite good, although one of them is young, and the other is a little careless from time to time, but under the coaching of Mourinho, they have worked together long enough, and the tacit understanding is also very sufficient. It's not an easy pair of defenders, at least a little bit better than the combination of Otamendi and Mangala against Porto.

Great physicality, great football, fame, quality, talent – Ramos and Raphael Varane are the kind of players who rose to fame at a young age and joined the big clubs early, and they don't even need a springboard team like Porto because they're super talented and can shine everywhere.

Gao Shunyao is still very clear about how capable he is. When facing Porto, that pair of defenders had already made him suffer enough. Although he won the final confrontation, it also made him realize his shortcomings, and against the likes of Ramos and Varane, can he really break down their defences? Maybe, but looking at the game with only half time left, Gao Shunyao is not in the mood to try.

The opponent is very strong, and seeing Ronaldo's goal, Gao Shunyao has already denied it in his heart for the frontal toughness. Rather than going hard, he would have liked to have found some better ways to break down his opponent's defense.

What he wants is a successful attack to break down Real Madrid's defence. If he tried repeatedly, he was afraid that Mourinho would soon shut it up.

Thinking about different ways to attack is not something Gao Shunyao likes to do, but when facing a strong enemy, the mind is indeed more useful than brute force. Compared to fighting them, you have to think about other ways to see if the other party has other loopholes that can be exploited.

On the pitch, the game has resumed. Gao Shunyao was running around and thinking about ways to do so. His eyes wandered over the defence of Ramos and Varane a few times, and his eyes were on them and behind them, and he was also thinking about his own tactics in his head.

If this backline can't be broken, maybe it will be more likely to target Real Madrid's other weaknesses.

On the court, Gao Shunyao began to retreat. He was supposed to be in the position behind the Real Madrid midfielder, but as he carefully considered the other side's problems, he began to retreat, even in front of the opponent's midfield.

His pullback was very deep, but it didn't attract much attention. Wolfsburg are now 2-0 down and it looks like he wants to get there and stop the opposition players more. As a high school striker, Gao Shunyao's counter-attack is very good, and in the face of Real Madrid's sharp counterattack, he retreats a little to affect the opponent's back pass, which is not an unusual tactic.

However, only the players on the court knew that Gao Shunyao didn't think so. On the pitch, he gestured to his teammates to cooperate with him. And the intention is very obvious, he doesn't want to defend, but to prepare to attack.

Real Madrid is very strong, but that doesn't mean there are no loopholes. On the court, what Gao Shunyao is doing now is looking for the other party's problems.

And, he seems to have found the loophole. (To be continued.) )
