In the sixteenth round of the league, Wolfsburg ushered in another most important game in the league. In this game, they will face Borussia Dortmund, their most feared opponents in the entire league, who have already put Wolfsburg on the spotlight three weeks ago.

In order to defeat the opponent, Wolfsburg can be said to be elite in this game. Except for Ruth, who is still not recovered from injury, they basically used all of their main forces. As against Shakhtar, Wolfsburg still chose to use the double midfield combination of Makoto Hasebe and Nemanja Matic to avoid being targeted by their opponents, and they prepared very carefully for this game.

Borussia Dortmund, too, are giving it their all.

Unlike Wolfsburg's 442, the formation they put out was a 4231 formation. Lewandowski in front of him, and behind him are Royce, Gotze, and Koopa lined up. Dortmund have used more of Gundogan and Bender in the back this season, and this one was no exception. At the back, Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic, and Piszczek are also excellent in the Bundesliga and even in the world, and their goalkeeper Weidenfeller's defensive efficiency this season is also the fourth in the Bundesliga.

"Now in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg is second in the league and Borussia Dortmund is fifth in the league, but from the perspective of the team's lineup, Dortmund's squad definitely does not look like fifth in the league. In fact, just recently concluded the Champions League, Dortmund also defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the final round, got a victory, and sat firmly at the top of the group stage. Their strength is very worthy of attention. ”

Borussia Dortmund's recent league results have not been great. But in the Bundesliga, no one dares to underestimate them. Although Dortmund did play a mess in the league this season. But the performances against Chelsea and Paris in the Champions League have already shown their quality. Compared to last season, their overall strength may have declined a little, and they are no longer so persevering in long-distance running, but the team's own fighting power against strong teams has gone further.

Everyone knows what the names Chelsea and Paris mean. Just looking at the line-up, Dortmund definitely shouldn't be fifth in the Bundesliga this season – and, when the game starts. And they proved it with their prowess right away.

Unlike Wolfsburg's style of play, Dortmund chose to attack even when facing strong opponents. As soon as the game began, they were on the attack: as soon as they got their hands on the football, Dortmund's two full-backs immediately rushed forward, their impact widening the attacking formation, and Piszczek sent the ball to the feet of Kuba, which also made a Dortmund attack unfold quickly.

Among Dortmund's frontcourt players, Kuba is probably the fastest. After getting the ball, he pulled away the gap with Pišcekla. He also immediately rushed forward with the ball. He was flanked by Piszczek on one side and Bender on the other, and Dortmund's dense attacking tactics with multiple points of play also made Rodriguez's interceptions a bit daunting. Yes, Kuba immediately burst through his defenses.

His impact speed is Dortmund's first sharp knife.

And after entering the backfield, Kuba kicked the ball to Gotze in the middle. In the middle, Götze receives the ball. Immediately turned around and dodged Makoto Hasebe's close guard and faced Matic. He flicked the ball again and spun away, albeit in a small space at the edge of the box. But he controlled the football between the two midfielders and shuttled through the dense defense of the front court, but he seemed to be at ease.

'Götze is in possession...... His technique is really good. In the face of dense defense, his possession skills are Dortmund's greatest reliance......"

The commentator's voice was filled with some pride, and Gotze's skills have long been considered the hope of Germany's future, and the commentator was naturally proud to see him on the ball. Unlike Kuba's long-distance run after getting the ball, Gotze is more skillful control in the front court after getting the ball, which requires higher skill and better talent.

Germany have a long history of tactics, discipline and strength, but they lack players with delicate skills, and Götze is a real source of pride. It is precisely because of his presence that Dortmund played very well in the front.

Dortmund's frontcourt players can be said to have their own characteristics, and each of the four players has their own habits of playing. Kuba is the fastest, Gotze is the most delicate, and their synergy allows for a variety of attacks. They can attack quickly, or they can control the ball and penetrate slowly, and the different abilities of several people make Dortmund's attack unstoppable.

Diverted twice with the ball up front, Götze was never tackled by Nemanja Matic. But Nemanja Matic's defense also made it impossible for Götze to break through. After being forced to turn around, Gotze stopped trying to break through, he found the opportunity to smash the ball forward diagonally, taking advantage of the lack of coordination from the Wolfsburg defenders to send the ball to the feet of Lewandowski in front.

In the penalty area, after getting the ball, Lewandowski withstood Naldo behind him, pulled the ball easily at his feet, controlled the ball at the same time, and also got rid of Naldo's entanglement. He's not the same as the two midfielders, he's not bad physically, he's got the ability to fight and he's got the skill at his feet. Although his impact is not too good, and his header is not very advantageous, when it comes to technique, he is very proud.

This pull kick shook off Naldo, and he did it beautifully. After pulling the ball, he half-turned and found a shot on goal. Lewandowski stabbed the ball and kicked the ball towards the bottom left corner of the goal, trying to catch Wolfsburg off guard.

At the last moment, Benaglio fell to the ground in time. Although Lewandowski shot quickly, Wolfsburg also knew his ability for a long time, and Benaglio's seriousness played a good defensive role. The ball was blocked by him and the goal was not scored.

But at this moment, Reuss on the left side also stepped in in time, and he shot a supplementary shot and kicked out the football that no one grabbed in the penalty area!

He plugged it in very well and very quickly. As one of Borussia Dortmund's front four, he is quite versatile, and as last season's Bundesliga player of the year, he can do just that. Gotze's technique, Lewandowski's shooting, and Kuba's speed, he may be the strongest in Dortmund's frontcourt.

It's a pity that this shot didn't work well. Because Reus was a follow-up shot, he raised his foot a little suddenly, and the ball path was not well chosen, and this shot did not shoot the ball into the goal. The ball hit the edge of the net, it was a shot that went wide, and although he caught the chance, he couldn't take it.

The shot made Reus sigh and could only lament his bad luck.

"This ball...... If Royce had shot a little more securely, the ball would have gone in. ”

The football didn't score, and even the commentary was slightly regretful. Dortmund's attacking frontcourt players this time were extremely fluid, and the four showed their abilities and played the attack extremely well, and it was naturally regrettable that they did not score.

In fact, it was not only them, but even the Dortmund fans gave the audience applause when they saw their attack stop like this. Showing that quality in front of their own fans is enough to get enough applause.

Their offense is beautiful enough, and they are indeed very threatening. Seeing that their attack did not enter the door, Wolfsburg also felt a little like he had escaped death.

There is no doubt that Dortmund are still strong. Seeing them play like this, Gao Shunyao even had some doubts in his heart: Could it be that they have been unlucky this season all the time, so that they know that they are still fifth in the league, right?

Of course, such a thought only flashed in Gao Shunyao's mind. Because he knows very well that luck is a very unreliable thing, and a really strong team will not use luck as an excuse to talk about things. Borussia Dortmund's results are not good enough at the moment, not because of their luck, of course, but because of their tactical problems.

Although their attack was gorgeous enough to shock the whole field, but seeing that Dortmund's two midfielders had already stood in front of the center circle, Gao Shunyao immediately understood why they couldn't win the game.

Every tactic will always have weaknesses, and Dortmund is no exception. Their pressing tactical system is based on the fast transition between attack and defense in the front court, and the unusually on-the-spot counter-attack, which of course has the advantage of full offensive power, but the Dortmund players are not all defensive players after all, so when they counter-attack in the frontcourt, they also need to use more dense sieges to target the opponent, and this will be problematic.

The frontcourt players pressed too forward, and the defenders did not dare to press too much, which made Dortmund inevitably have a huge gap in the front and back courts, and once there was such a loophole, Dortmund would naturally be targeted and abused.

In fact, last season, Dortmund also had this problem. It's just that Dortmund's players are very fast, they run aggressively, and sometimes even if there is a hole, it will disappear in an instant, and it is difficult for people to take advantage of. But this season, as they become more and more prominent in the league, they are facing more and more targeted layouts.

Last season, they beat Bayern twice, but this season, they have lost to Bayern twice. Although they are strong in attack, they have a big problem defensively, and the gap between the defender and the midfielder is their big hole, and they have conceded at least six points this season because of this problem - you know, they are only eight points away from Wolfsburg, which is a huge gap.

Before the game, Magath had repeatedly stressed this issue in front of the Wolfsburg players: this is also a loophole that Wolfsburg wants to exploit very much. They would love to address this issue at Dortmund and widen the distance between them again. (To be continued.) )
