Section 479

If there is something essential in this game and the last game against Chelsea, then compared to the tactics on the field, perhaps the mentality of the Wolfsburg players is more worthy of this evaluation. ,

Unlike in the last game, the Wolfsburg players were bent on winning, and in the game, they even seemed a little impatient and rash, but in this game, the Wolfsburg players had a more correct mentality, whether they were in an advantage or a disadvantage, and there was not much impatience, which was also the biggest difference between them and the previous game.

On the pitch, the Wolfsburg players did not show too much impatience after conceding the goal. On the field, their expressions were quite indifferent, as if they were still debating what to do. In key games, their team has fallen behind, and they can still be so calm, compared to before, the players of Wolfsburg have improved a lot.

This indifference, of course, was not caused by the match against Borussia Dortmund. That game was just a passive game, and it couldn't have made Wolfsburg change so much. If there was anyone who taught them this, it was the game against Chelsea that taught them the need not to be impatient.

Wolfsburg led twice and were twice levelled by Chelsea in their last game, and if there's one thing that can be most frustrating, it's obviously even more frustrating. However, it was because of that experience that Wolfsburg also understood a lot of things: in the Champions League, being in a hurry can't solve the problem. The more you rush to achieve success, the more you will fail. Compared to being psychologically anxious, encountering difficulties, having a firm mentality, and turning your brain more may be a better way, at least it is more useful than being anxious.

For example, at this time, if it was the former Wolf Castle, it might be anxious because of backwardness, and even attack because of this. But the current Wolfsburg is not so crazy. On the pitch, the Wolfsburg players were not in a hurry to attack, but were thinking about what they should do. to be able to knock on Chelsea's door.

After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be done without thinking.

From the beginning of this game to the present, Wolfsburg has always been defense-oriented, but the defense-oriented does not mean that Wolfsburg has no offense. In the middle of the game, they also attacked once or twice in an attempt to open the door for Chelsea. However, Chelsea's defensive intensity is still terrifying. Wolfsburg tried their best, but they were not able to break their gates. However, in the midst of this constant attack, Wolfsburg has also realized what the opponent's weakness is. They also had a preliminary idea of how to attack in order to succeed.

Several of the Wolfsburg players were whispering on the pitch, and their attitudes were quite consistent. In their view, Chelsea's biggest defensive problem is clearly Frank Lampard, the heart of their midfield.

In this game, Chelsea chose Frank Lampard to do it, compared to Ruiz, who played as Chelsea's midfielder in the last game, Lampard's defense is much worse. This player is not a midfielder, and although he can play well in this position, he is already very old, and the defensive coverage has become a problem for him. And as the game progressed, the minutes passed. Under his physical loss, this problem will also become Chelsea's biggest hole, which is the best starting point for Wolfsburg to break the game.

The players at Wolfsburg are not some of the greatest talents. Especially against a strong team like Chelsea, it is not easy for them to find a flaw. However, after finding a flaw, I magnified it and then used it. The Wolfsburg players can do it perfectly.

Of course, it stands to reason that once Chelsea have scored a goal, they can adjust their squad. With 5o minutes on the clock and Chelsea leading and Frank Lampard running out of tasks on the pitch, it would have been possible to replace him and bring Ruiz on defensively.

That kind of substitution is also what Wolfsburg is most worried about: if it is against someone else, they are not afraid of the opponent doing it. After all, switching to the back to defend when leading is a little conservative now, and some giants who advocate offense will even boo the coach for it. But now that you're facing Mourinho, you can't say anything for sure. After all, Mourinho has a very light view of this kind of face-saving thing, the word conservative has almost become his adjective, no matter how people say that he is conservative, he will not waver in the slightest, and he has completely done this kind of thing when he changes to a back midfielder.

Thankfully, Chelsea didn't make such changes.

Maybe it's because Chelsea's goal time is a little early, 5o minutes at this time, but just after half-time, it's a bit early to want to make substitutions at this time, and substitutions are not good for their morale, maybe because Lampard, as Chelsea's meritorious veteran, may leave the team after the end of this season, such a person only plays half the game and comes down, which is a little too unkind. Or because Mourinho really doesn't trust Ruiz and is reluctant to trust him at key moments, on the pitch, Chelsea still maintain Frank Lampard's posture as a defensive midfielder, which can be said to be a relief for the Wolfsburg players.

Frank Lampard, after all, is not young. And his position is not a suitable position for veteran players to walk after all.

Of course, Chelsea's tactics are not without supplements to this problem, and Ramirez is placed on the field to allow Chelsea to strengthen the front court counter-attack. If the backfield can't withstand the impact, they use the front court to disrupt the opponent and prevent the opponent from impacting to defend, and Chelsea's tactics are also considered.

It's just that this change doesn't seem to work well in front of Wolfsburg. In the first half of the game, Chelsea's counter-attack was effective, but after the second half, when Ramires wanted to disturb Wolfsburg's possession of the ball again, he was also surprised to find that Kjaer's position was much earlier, and between him and Rodriguez, a good passing line was formed, and Wolfsburg established a network of balls at the back.

When he wanted to counter-rob again, there was no longer only one person in the backcourt of Wolfsburg who took the ball, he wanted to counter-rob, and the difficulty suddenly increased a lot.

In 5o minutes, Wolfsburg can change a lot of tactics, and for Chelsea's tactics, Wolfsburg have clearly found a way to crack it. At the back, they and Chelsea have adopted very different tactics, in order to defend, Chelsea are eager to replace their two wings with the best defensive players, and in order to attack, Wolfsburg in this game, especially Kjaer adjusted his position and formed a link with Rodriguez.

Kjaer was bought to Wolfsburg that year, and a big reason was that his foot skills were still passable. It's just that after arriving at Wolfsburg, because he didn't be able to integrate quickly at the beginning of the game, and later integrated, Wolfsburg's tactics of flying with both wings don't require him to have too many opportunities to play the ball, so his ball playing skills are basically useless. However, even if the technology has been abandoned for a long time, it is not impossible to pick it up. In this match, he once again used his foot skills to make Ramirez suffer.

The best way to deal with the frontcourt counter-robbery is naturally for the backcourt players to be able to control the ball at their feet. As long as the players can control the football well, then no matter how good the opponent's counter-attack is, it is impossible to cause problems for themselves. Ramirez is certainly a good-stirring stick in the frontcourt, but he is also helpless in the face of Wolfsburg's tactics with multiple points at the back.

His counter-attack in front of the court was directly destroyed by Wolfsburg's multi-point ball. Wolfsburg's attack obviously can't be blocked between defenders and midfielders, and they can easily get the ball to Shahin.

This is certainly not good news for Chelsea, but even so, Chelsea do not particularly care about it, after all, in addition to having Ramires in their midfield, Nemanja Matic is also a barrier that Wolfsburg has to face, and his presence also makes Chelsea full of confidence.

Nemanja Matic used to be a player at Wolfsburg, and since returning to Chelsea this season, Nemanja Matic's reputation has continued to rise. Once unknown at Wolfsburg, and even less famous than Gustavo, he is now considered a strong contender for the world's No. 1 defender, and his value has risen again and again. And almost all these accolades were given to him by Chelsea, and he was naturally willing to give everything for Chelsea in the game.

By the time Shaheen got the ball, Nemanja Matic was almost on the move. He knows that his partner is a man who needs protection, so he is also ready to grab the ball from the feet of Wolfsburg immediately.

However, in the face of the onslaught of his former teammates, Shaheen did not panic. In several confrontations, he also quickly found a way.

When the 7o minutes of the game came, Shaheen found his chance. He made a pass and sent it to Turan, who had already begun to cut inside on the right flank. And when Turan got the ball, Rong also quickly inserted it from the right side, and the two people were on the right side, forming a beautiful cooperation, Turan gave the ball to Rong with one kick, and the two people were on the side, and quickly pressed up.

Wolfsburg's flank raids have always been very famous, and Ma Qi is naturally not ready to let Azpilicueta resist alone, he also moved closer to the right, wanting to help his teammates resist Wolfsburg's attack. However, just as he leaned over, Rong Ye kicked the football under his feet backwards again and sent it back to the midfield.

The ball was back at the feet of Shaheen and made Nemanja Matic's defence meaningless. And with Shaheen kicking the ball to the left, his idea of running back and forth to intercept Wolfsburg's attack was a complete failure.

In midfield, Wolfsburg players passed football back and forth. Shaheen, Turan, and Jung, who formed a good transmission network near the midfield of Wolfsburg. And relying on this network, Wolfsburg was also able to make Matic unable to grab in time in the midfield, and was found vacant by Wolfsburg. And once Nemanja Matic opens up this space, then Lampard behind him will have to face a big problem: Lampard's level of play is of course not in doubt, but now that he is old, he has fallen a lot in terms of coverage and mobility, and 7o minutes have passed since the game, and the long running time makes it impossible for him to cope with the continuous impact of Wolfsburg.

And that's the chance for Wolfsburg. To be continued.
