'When Ivan hits the left with the ball, you go to the side and if you can get people's attention, then he can cut inside. Follow? Dream? Small? Say?, .com. The update is so fast. △ ↗ Top, you go to the left side, you play as a fulcrum in the middle, Ivan can form a combination with me, switch to the shadow forward position, so that we can have a change in tactics, maybe it will help our team a little bit more as a whole......"

Standing on the training ground, Mandzukic was pointing and talking to Perisic on the left with a football at his feet. Standing beside him, Gao Shunyao listened to his arrangement, nodded silently, and opened his mouth from time to time, saying a word or two to him.

As the two main strikers of Wolfsburg, the two of them are discussing the team's tactics in detail at this time. How to give full play to Perisic's advantages and how to enhance the team's offensive ability by cooperating is also the focus of the discussion between the two of them this time.

This is not the first time that a similar discussion has been made for the two strikers. As for how Wolfsburg can play better, they've tried a lot of times these days. It's not just them, but other teammates are also working with them on similar attempts. During these days, tactical adjustments are a top priority in Wolfsburg training.

This kind of tactical adjustment is subtle, not as big a move as the original change of the main force. Because of the battle against Kaiserslautern, Gao Shunyao scored a beautiful goal. After this goal, the main battle for Wolfsburg has not changed much for the time being.

As a striker, Gao Shunyao proved his offensive ability through this goal. The 'shooting' technique shown in the volley's 'shot' and 'goal'. It is enough to show that his offensive talent is not weaker than that of Helmos. His goal efficiency is enough to satisfy the fans. And considering that his defensive ability is better. He played in the main team, and it was a matter of course.

Wolfsburg's lineup. After seven rounds of competition, with Gao Shunyao's progress, it was finally decided.

Of course, Gao Shunyao's progress certainly did not make Wolfsburg invincible, in fact, just after the victory over Kaiserslautern, Wolfsburg lost another game away to Bayer Leverkusen. Although in this game Mandzukic scored a goal. However, due to poor defending, the players at the back were still not at their best, and they were beaten 3-1 by Bayer Leverkusen.

One or two defeats are not an unacceptable thing for a professional team in a long season. But Wolves have played a bit bad on the road this season, and that's what they have to solve.

The reason is actually very simple: although it is said that after Gao Shunyao determined the main position, the lineup of Wolfsburg has been largely built. But in terms of tactical details, they still haven't done a lot of in-depth and detailed research.

The most difficult problem in football tactics is not the construction of a main line-up: many times, the number of famous players in the team is limited. The difference in the strength of the players is also extremely obvious, unless it is a coach who likes to rotate, there will be no problem with the use of the main lineup.

And the details are very difficult to work out. Same tactics. In the same formation, one or two players have different technical characteristics. The effect of kicking the ball is different. How the players can work together to get the most out of each other is something that needs to be considered. How to connect two players into a line. How to weave a net between several lines, how to bring the whole body with points in a big net, and benefit the players around them by relying on local efforts......

These things are also the most important things that Wolfsburg needs to do after determining the main lineup. Their lineup is set, two high school forwards, two wings, and two back midfielders have basically determined their main lineup and overall tactical style, but many tactical details still need to be further determined by playing more football.

In fact, there are still a lot of problems with Wolfsburg's system. They have two center forwards in the frontcourt, and the impact is quite sufficient, but in terms of subtle changes, it is a little less. Their wing Salihamidzic is full of experience and organizational skills, but first, he is too old and needs to rely on the right-back to constantly 'insert' assists to be able to play on the wing, and secondly, he is not a top striker after all, and he has no ability to revitalize the whole team. And Wolfsburg's midfield, placed two back midfielders, although their defense has strengthened a lot, but who should 'insert' on'shoot' and 'goal'? Who should play with the wings? Who should fill the gap after the 'plug' is allowed? These problems are also very serious problems.

Of course, the problem of wings and midfielders is not something that strikers need to think about, but what strikers need to think about, mainly their own work. During this time, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic have been discussing the most, and how the two of them can take turns to impact, and who of the two should do more retreat. When it is necessary to pull the side, who is more appropriate, scramble for the header, and how to cooperate with the front and back points, these tactical details are also the main directions they discuss.

It's a hard thing to learn in Asia – at least that's what Ko thinks when he returns to the national team to play against Iraq after losing to Bayer Leverkusen. Compared with Wolfsburg, although Coach Gao's overall tactics are okay, at least he does not do a good job in the tactical details of the center. His requirements for Gao Shunyao in the front court are basically to watch and do it himself, any tactics are fake, and he can get the ball in by himself.

It is not completely impossible to have no tactical details in this way, and in the face of Iraq, the Chinese team also scored. After all, the game was played at China's home stadium, China played quite well, relying on a corner kick opportunity, Gao Shunyao's header back to Shao Jiayi scored a long 'shot' in front of the penalty area, and scored for the Chinese team. However, such a tactic will definitely not be able to fully play the full role of the players, at least in this game, Gao Shunyao was stared at by the Iraqis very much, and failed to score, which also made the Chinese team fighting at home only won a 1-1 draw.

Three games, one win and two draws, the results of the group stage of the top 20 can only be said to be quite average. However, because Iraq defeated Jordan and Singapore in the first two rounds, Iraq is now at the top of the table with 7 points, and the Chinese team is also slightly better than Jordan's 4 points with 5 points. Finished second in the group. The top two teams in the top 20 have a chance to qualify from the group, finishing second in the group. It's not unacceptable.

However, this game also made Gao Shunyao realize. Asian football is indeed poor in the study of tactical details. When he was in Japan, Li Ze said that Japan's tactics stayed in the thinking of the 90s, while the domestic tactical thinking was even more backward than Japan's, and compared with Europe, they were indeed much worse.

This also led him to discuss tactics between Gao Shunyao and his teammates after returning to Germany. More serious. The homework that I fell behind in the past also needs to be made up for now.

The question of how he can play a better tactical role on the court has been discussed with Mandzukic for a long time. Although Magath can provide them with a lot of ideas, they still have to rely on their own feelings to grasp the tactical details. It's not easy, he and Mandzukic are big centre-forwards, and the tactical characteristics of the two are relatively close, and they want to form a good combination. Tapping into the full potential is naturally difficult.

But the good thing is that they at least have the mind to keep trying. And they also have the stamina to talk – football, of course, not just with their mouths. A lot of times, on the training ground, they talk about it. I'm also trying. Every time a new idea comes out, they have to make some tactical adjustments. And with these adjustments, their strength has also increased step by step.

Like this time. Having thought of this tactic, they immediately tried it. Perisic, who rushed with the ball on the side, ran towards the front of the penalty area in front of the penalty area, while Gao Shunyao ran to the side and opened the back line, so that he could cooperate with Mandzukic and then 'shoot' from a distance and hit the big 'goal'.

"This tactic is good, Ivan's 'shooting' and 'goal' are indeed 'quite good'."

Watching Perisic's 'shot' and 'goal' enter the ball 'goal', Gao Shunyao also applauded. Over this period of time, everyone has become more and more acquainted, and Gao Shunyao also knows Perisic's tactical characteristics: his speed is not particularly fast, although his breakthrough ability is already the first in Wolfsburg's current lineup, but it is not the top. In contrast, his offensive skills are quite comprehensive, but he has the appearance of a shadow striker. It is precisely because of this that this tactical design is born.

However, this tactic seems to be successful, but there are still some problems, and he and Mandzukic continue to discuss the tactics, "but after such a pull, I basically have no effect on the wing. My skills are not good, and when I get to the side, it's hard to help the team. ”

"But if I pull the side, I don't know how to kick." Mandzukic has no good way to deal with this, "We have to take turns to sacrifice." When you attack on the left flank, you go to help Ivan on the side. When the right side is 'plugged in', I retreat to form a fulcrum, and you grab a point in the middle to cooperate. The two of us can only take turns to sacrifice like this to open up the team's tactics. ”

"To put it this way, you sacrifice more than me, and we have more on the right side than on the left side."

"My skills are better than yours, my salary is more than yours, and I should have taken on heavier tasks than you." Mandzukic doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, "Besides, if you get the first point in the box, I can also do a counter-insertion, and you can give me the ball back." Let you grab points, but not let you get all the opportunities, how to use the opportunities, we can further discuss. ”

Gao Shunyao nodded, indeed, their tactics could be further changed.

Two center forwards do not necessarily mean that there must be no good tactical coordination, Dzeko and Griffitt in Wolfsburg were also a super-combination with Wolfsburg and a prominent one. Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic are of course inferior in terms of their skills, but when it comes to the desire to win, they don't lose to anyone at all.

The desire to win can allow them to turn all their potential into combat effectiveness and play better and better in the game, Gao Shunyao firmly believes that the tactical system of Wolf Castle will be quickly built in his hands. ,
