Section 260 Dortmund

The defeat of Hertha Berlin was not a surprise. ⊙ dream novel, .com. For more recent chapters, visit: . As a relegation team that has just been promoted this year, their strength is already limited. In the face of Wolfsburg, which has been gaining momentum recently, it is an away game again, even if it is a big loss, they do not have too many complaints. Originally, they were not the team that everyone paid attention to in the league, but after this game, the focus of attention was also Wolfsburg.

Another home win over Hertha Berlin took Wolfsburg's tally to 23 points. With 23 points from 11 rounds, the league has achieved three consecutive wins, and it has also made Wolfsburg's points jump to second place in the league in one fell swoop, second only to Bayern, only two points behind, behind the top of the table.

This result, not to mention that no one could have imagined it at the beginning of the season, even in the first two rounds, no one could have imagined it. Wolfsburg were hovering in 10th place until the end of the ninth round, and who would have thought that after three rounds, they would be second in the league?

"Wolfsburg's progress is incredible, at the beginning of this season, people are still wondering if Magath will win another defeat at Wolfsburg, once again causing the team's players to defect, but halfway through the season, Wolfsburg did not have any discordant news, on the contrary, under Magath led to the second place in the league, which almost made people see a repeat of the 08-09 season, it is not known this time, Wolfsburg can do it."

The media has also analyzed the success of Wolfsburg on multiple levels, and the most surprising thing for the media is not the strength of Wolfsburg, but the overall situation of Wolfsburg.

Or rather. What surprised the media the most was that Wolfsburg had not made any changes in the locker room until now.

In the past, Magath's team. The first problem that is easy to arise is that the team has too many people, the rotation is not good, and the players complain, but the training is too heavy, and Magath and the players lack 'communication', which is easy to dislike each other, and even make trouble.

These two questions. It's basically a problem that Magath can't wash clean, and he has a lot of advantages in coaching. But the shortcomings of these two aspects are also well known, and it is surprising that Wolfsburg has no problems now.

But if you think about it, it's not a problem. It was also extremely fortuitous.

Wolfsburg now has a lot of people, and they also have nearly 30 people in the whole team, which is much larger than other teams. If you follow Magath's previous habits, then this team must have to toss around and have nothing to do with rotation.

However, this time at Wolfsburg was different: the German Cup at Wolfsburg was eliminated in the first round. They were relegated last season and are unlikely to have European assignments. The entire Wolfsburg is now a one-line operation. That being the case, where is the need for what rotation?

Magath's players may not be technical, they may not be in good shape, but they definitely have physical problems to keep up with the rhythm. If it's a double game a week, maybe they can't eat it, but it's always a one-line battle. From time to time, because of the national team games, the players in the team who have not played in the national team games have a rest. In such a situation, how can anyone not be able to eat?

Magath does like to 'mess around' to rotate, but that's because he has heavy requirements for the game, and he has often led the team to play multi-front battles over the years, taking last year as an example, Schalke has insisted on going for a long time in the European competition and the German Cup, and there are many games, with his requirements, it is difficult for players to stick to it without rotation.

But this season, Wolfsburg didn't play a rotation game at all, except for Oakes, Josue and a few others will be replaced, Gao Shunyao and Helmos both have to play as substitutes from time to time, the team is at most to rotate the guard line, let Knoch try to play a few games to feel and grow, other rotations, the team basically doesn't have it, and where is the problem?

At the start of the season, Wolfsburg lost their own German Cup. At that time, it seemed that Wolfsburg could really be said to be unfavorable, and it lost the cup when it came up. But looking at it now, maybe losing the cup is not a bad thing for Wolfsburg – it may not be what they wanted, but it will be more profitable in the long run.

On the other hand, Wolfsburg did not make a big 'mess' this time, and the team was relatively stable, which actually had something to do with Magath entering the palace after all.

In the 08-09 season, Magath once coached Wolfsburg, and Wolfsburg won the league championship under him during that period. And when he joined the team again last year, there were still seven or eight people in the main team who were his old subordinates, and although there were resentments against him, they were certainly not as deep as others.

There are more old subordinates, and they are more convinced of his results, which is a situation that Magath has never encountered before - and judging from the deadlocked situation between him and Bayern and Schalke, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to encounter such a good situation in the future.

Of course, in addition to his good luck and the many old subordinates he has encountered, Magath is indeed not lacking in skills when he coaches Wolfsburg this time.

Among the players he appointed and promoted, Gao Shunyao, Perisic, Matic, and Rong are all young players, with sufficient physical strength, and they are very eager for opportunities. Salihamidzic is said to be retiring after this season, and the hard work of playing football is a good memory for him, and naturally there are no complaints.

Comparatively speaking, if there is a complaint against Magat, Magat will not tolerate it. Diego's 'trade', knowing that he had lost millions, he must continue to do it, and not give him the opportunity to stay in the locker room and harm the team, Helmos did not play well, so he resolutely let him substitute and promote the younger Gao Shunyao - on the one hand, he is kind to the young, and on the other hand, he is fighting against disobedient, which is also the reason why his team is in good shape.

He is in Wolfsburg, and there is room to play tricks: although the management of Wolfsburg also complained about Magath back then, it is an indisputable fact that after Magath left, Wolfsburg became worse and worse. For the current Wolfsburg, they have no better choice than Magat. Who can you use without him?

It is precisely because of Erjin Palace that Magath can deal with Diego so easily and happily. Otherwise, millions of losses. Where is Wolfsburg so willing? In Schalke, more than 300,000 transfers are not reported to the team, and the team management is not happy.

Because the team gave such convenience, Magath has the opportunity now. Although he was in a mess at Bayern and Schalke, Wolfsburg showed his luck. The old players are basically old clubs, and the young people are also energetic and positive. These players are enough for Magath to show his ambitions.

"As you can imagine, before the young players in this area are fully grown. There shouldn't be much conflict between Magath and Wolfsburg. The players always have some 'excitement' for the coach who is trying his best to bring them out, and even if the coach himself is strict, they will have a higher tolerance base. That's it. This season, next season, maybe next season, it is difficult for Wolfsburg to have too many disputes, and Magath should not be ousted from office again this time. ”

In the eyes of the media, within three years, Wolfsburg is estimated not to have any big problems, and these three years. Presumably, it's time for Magath to give it a go.

Magath is a former league champion coach, and he has put a lot of effort into renovating the team, certainly not for the simple reason of raising a few young children to sell money. So. It is also quite curious to see what he can achieve at Wolfsburg in these three seasons.

There is also a reason for the media's predictions: in three more seasons, the current players will grow up and maybe go to other leagues. And now the old Ministries of Magath will also grow old. Fade out of the team's lineup, and that time. Magath's team, naturally, has little cohesion.

However, I'm afraid that Magath won't care much about this: what will happen in three years, where is the use of him worrying now? He is not Ferguson, and he has no idea of rooting in Wolfsburg for the rest of his life. Compared to that, he was more concerned about the game in front of him.

After the eleventh round, Wolfsburg also ushered in another league rival of their own - this game, their opponent was Dort 'Monde', in Magath's view, this is the opponent that Wolfsburg really needs to pay attention to if he wants to become a team.

As last year's champion, Dort's 'Monde' quality goes without saying. In the league, they, like Bayern, are also considered the favourites to win the championship. And now, they are also in fourth place with a difference of three points, although the ranking is slightly worse, but because they have not played a game against Bayern, no one dares to say that they must be worse than Bayern.

Wolfsburg wants to become a strong team, and the record with Dort 'Monde' is also the best touchstone to measure the strength of Wolfsburg.

For this game, both the team and the media can be said to be very concerned. Although Dort'Mond' Derby is three points lower than Wolfsburg, in the past three months, they have also played four more Champions League games than Wolfsburg, dispersing a large part of their 'spirit' - they have not played in the Champions League for a long time, and Dort'Monde has not played at all in the European arena, and they have not won one of the first three rounds of the group stage, which has also affected them a lot.

During this time, they also suffered a lot of pressure, playing well in the league, but they were beaten up in the Champions League, which made Dort' 'Monde' ridiculed as a nest, referring to last year's Schalke results, they were scolded very much.

However, they won in the fourth round of the group stage – not good news for Wolfsburg, who had won the game just three days earlier, and Dort' Monde's victory showed they were in good form. And the fact that they are playing at home puts pressure on Wolfsburg.

However, there was a match just three days ago, which also shows that Dort 'Monde' may have a certain problem with his physical strength, which is not a bad thing for Wolfsburg.

The 'meeting' between the second and fourth teams in the league can naturally arouse the interest of many people. Borussia Dort' must beat Wolfsburg if they want to compete for the title, and make sure that the difference between themselves and Bayern Munich is not too big, which is what they must do.

It's just that people are skeptical that they can do it. Borussia Dort's attack is more fluid, and the quality of their players is more 'impressive'. The team's two center forwards, Lewandowski and Barrios, played better than Ko Soon-yao and Mandzukic, while midfielders such as Gotze and Shinji Kagawa also played at a higher level. Wolfsburg is indeed strong under the leadership of Magath, but the enemy of Dort 'Monde' is also a formidable opponent.

Compared to teams such as Hamburg and Hertha Berlin, this is a worthy opponent. q
