Section 272 Progress under pressure
Football is a sport with a very long history in Europe. It is precisely because of its extremely long history that there are many grievances and hatreds in this sport. Many fans are talking about the contradictions in football games, and the unforgettable hatred between some teams is also a favorite topic of conversation among fans.
Manchester United and Liverpool's dislike of each other, Inter Milan and Juventus' disagreement, Real Madrid and Barcelona's battle of the century, these battles are undoubtedly the stories behind football that have added a lot of highlights, and they can also attract people's attention. Once the word derby is added to a game, there is no need to question how fierce it is.
I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, because the team is small, the city is small, and the team's history is not glorious, Wolfsburg has not had such an enemy who has not shared the sky. Wolfsburg has many opponents in the Bundesliga, but there are basically no enemies, everyone is just playing fair and playing seriously.
However, Wolfsburg has no enemies, but Magath does. As one of the famous coaches in the Bundesliga, Magath can be said to have made countless enemies in the Bundesliga over the years.
Magath has a short temper and is a bit self-righteous in his career. Many people who have worked with him have fallen out with him in the end. There are quite a lot of contradictions between him and Bayern and Schalke, and even many German media are predicting that he will definitely offend everyone in the Bundesliga in the future, and finally he will not be able to get along in Germany~ Go.
And something like that, maybe it will happen in the future. But now for the Wolvesburg players, what they need to worry about is that Magath can't let them go through now. Magath this coach. Never known for his generosity, he likes to take revenge. has always been calculating, the defeat of Schalke. It is something he cannot forgive.
"Schalke! You lost to Schalke! Did you pee your pants after losing to Borussia Dortmund and hearing that your opponent was from the Ruhr area? What is Schalke? What kind of team are they? Last season's 10th-place team, who sold their number one star in the summer, was able to beat you! ”
After the game, the locker room was filled with Magath's roar. His voice was loud and roaring, and it made people aware of the coach. Very angry indeed.
His roar silenced everyone, his anger was not unreasonable, and no one dared to refute it.
In this game, Wolfsburg did play a bit scum. Probably because the first two games were played too well, after beating Borussia Mönchenchen and Freiburg in succession, Wolfsburg also forgot that there were two players in their team who had just arrived in the winter. Playing away from home, they have a lot of attacking momentum. However, it also caused trouble.
Rodriguez, on the left flank, is their biggest problem. The Brazilian defender has just arrived in the squad and has not yet been able to fully integrate. But he already had a little understanding of his mission. Perisic is an attack-minded player who supports defenders. can release a large part of his energy. Therefore, in the game. His plugs also continued. However, as a new defender. There is not much tacit understanding between him and his teammates, and his insertion is often without warning, which makes his teammates' fills in a hurry. Such a problem met Farfan, one of the best right wingers in the Bundesliga, and made the left wing of Wolfsburg a hard-hit area for Schalke's breakthrough.
In the game, the away Wolfsburg was full of momentum, and when they came up, they pressed the opponent to play for nearly 30 minutes, and they also showed their strength. However, compared to them, Schalke played more effectively. A Farfan counter-attack caused problems at the back of Wolfsburg, and he easily shook off Wolfsburg's defence, and then, with a beautiful shot, Huntelaar showed Wolfshound's true top hunter and why he is at the top of the scorer list.
Schalke's performance in this game was obviously better than Wolfsburg. In addition to Huntelaar, Raul's play also made people depressed. When the veteran came to the Bundesliga, people thought he was here to retire, but now he has proved that he can have a second spring.
The second goal conceded by Wolfsburg was scored by Raul. After combining with Farfan on the wing, Raul, who got the ball near the edge of the penalty area, broke through the gate of Wolfsburg again with a hanging shot, making the score 2-0.
The team lost the game because of the poor coordination of the players. What is even more irritating is that after this game, Schalke took all three points, surpassing Wolfsburg's 42 points with 44 points and becoming fourth in the league. This change made Magath angry.
"A striker who was eliminated by Milan, an old man who was abandoned by Real Madrid, no matter how strong they used to be, they are now just two pension scraps. Just like that, two people can abuse you so badly, you guys, don't you think I'm too kind to you? ”
The 2-0 defeat wasn't a big mistake, but when the players returned home after the game, none of them could feel that it didn't matter. Magath got angry after the game, which made it a very difficult day for the players, and they couldn't be calm when they saw that scoreline again.
That's not to say that Magath is a person who is respected by the players. In fact, although he led the team to achieve good results, he was not very popular because he has always been demanding on the team's training and lacked communication with the players. However, the more unpopular a person is, the more terrible they are sometimes. Magath's name as a tyrant resounded throughout Europe, he was furious, and who knows what he would do.
He said he had been too kind in the past — God knows how he wanted to show his strictness. At least for the team, no one wants to see what he says is strict.
"It is said that when he was in charge of Stuttgart, the team lost, and after the game, he sent the whole team away from going home. The team's players are said to have stood on the pitch for 90 minutes on a snowy day, and Magath described it as a reminder for the team. This guy has a bad stomach, who knows what tricks he will be able to play next time. ”
Gao Shunyao is the same, when he returned home, he and Chen Sirou talked about this matter, and they were also helpless. The pain of losing, or the fear of the coach, he couldn't tell which was more uncomfortable.
In the team, Gao Shunyao is more difficult to accept losing. He is hungry for victory, and he understands that Magath has accumulated a lot of unhappiness after being beaten by Bayern this season. However, when Magath blamed the team, he didn't pick him out and said that he was also scolded, and he was also responsible and careful.
Magath obviously didn't intend to let anyone go, he didn't want to discriminate, what he noticed was the team's overall absent-mindedness, and what he wanted was to clean up the team with an iron fist.
"The coach told us that if there is a next time, then we will all have to practice. Do you remember, when I was in Japan, Li Ze told me bad things about Coach Cheng Fuhao behind my back, he said that Tokyo seemed to care for me, but as long as I dared to raise my salary, then all feelings would be. But I think that Cheng Fuhao is a little unkind enough to do things, but now it seems that ...... Coach Cheng Fuhao is already very good. ”
Gao Shunyao has always rarely complained about Magat, but this time, it was difficult for him to be calm. He understands that the team needs results now and cannot afford to let up: they are now fifth in the league with 42 points, and if they do, they may not be able to keep up. However, compared with Magath's high-pressure policy, he hopes that the team can use more positive means to promote the progress of all players.
It's just that that's not Magath's style. What he likes to do when he needs to work hard is to put pressure on the players and push them forward.
"However, I won't give him a chance to train, and I will definitely be able to play well in the next game."
After complaining about the things in the team, Gao Shunyao also kept silent about this, and quietly listened to Chen Sirou, who was complaining about him, smiled, and did not let this topic entangle the lives of the two people. Magath's football may be nerve-wracking, but at home, Chen Sirou is always able to soothe his emotions.
It is precisely because of this relaxation that he can play well in the game.
In the 23rd round of the league, maybe because of the threat of Magath's training, or maybe because the Wolfsburg players did understand the shame of courage, this game, Wolfsburg played a lot better. In the first 17 minutes, Tulan, who started the game, successfully set off an attack. His long arc pass, directly from the right side of the field to the feet of Gao Shunyao near the penalty area, and Gao Shunyao unloaded the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Perisic on the left side, and the three of them played a large-scale cooperation, so that Perisic smoothly inserted into the penalty area and successfully scored.
One goal, obviously not enough for Wolfsburg. Soon, after Gao Shunyao got the ball, he hit the goal with a low flat ball. He was a little too hasty to get the ball in, but the goalkeeper couldn't get the ball into his arms because of the angle. Mandzukic's follow-up shot allowed the team to extend the score.
The 2-0 score was not the end, Wolfsburg's attack continued, and naturally there were still goals. Before the end of the game, Makoto Hasebe scored with a long-range shot, which also gave Wolfsburg another goal, a 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim.
At the end of the 23rd round, Wolfsburg was also relieved. After this round, they have 45 points, while Schalke were beaten by Bayern Munich and remained on 44 points, and Wolfsburg overtook them to become fourth in the league.
Finally back in the top four of the league, Magath doesn't have to be angry for the time being. This made the players in Wolfsburg breathe a sigh of relief, and at this time, Gao Shunyao also had another very important matter.
On February 29, the quadrennial day, he will play the last game of the top 20. This game is also an important game to determine whether the Chinese team can go further in the quadrennial World Cup qualifiers, and he must be 120% careful. (To be continued......)
