If there is anyone who has noticed the physical exhaustion of Manchester City players faster than the Manchester City players, it is definitely one of the Wolfsburg players standing on the pitch. ← the top fiction, Wolfsburg players have long regarded Manchester City's possible fitness problems as one of their greatest strengths, and their knowledge of this may still be above Manchester City. On the pitch, when the opponents start to show fatigue, they may not realize it, but the Wolfsburg players have been keen to seize the opportunity.

As for how much energy the Manchester City players have left, they have been calculating it since before the start of the game, even after the Champions League draw, and as the game progresses, watching the Manchester City players wreak havoc, the Wolfsburg players have been waiting for this. As the half-time passed, City's attack began to slow down, and after 60 minutes, City's attack was no longer intense. In this regard, the Manchester City players, perhaps because of their high morale, did not realize it for the time being, but the Wolfsburg players have already sniffed out very sensitively.

The opponent started to get slower, weaker, and their attack didn't have the momentum they had at the beginning. They had just scored a goal, but they still couldn't add a better attack, which is the most obvious evidence that they were running out of energy. This is what Wolfsburg has been waiting for for a long time, and they will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Now, it's finally time for Wolfsburg to strike back.

Just five minutes after Manchester City's goal, a surprise attack from Wolfsburg also came suddenly. After getting the ball once, the Wolfsburg players did not shrink back for the sake of defending, but launched a quick counter-attack. Just after the ball was kicked by Kjaer to Rodriguez on the left flank. He rushed forward with the ball.

60 minutes of the game, because the opponent's offensive momentum has been fierce. Wolfsburg's backcourt players have basically no chance to get involved in the attack. Rodriguez held back for a full 60 minutes and was constantly being played by Navas. It's also accumulated a lot of resentment. At this time, in the face of Manchester City, who had lost his physical strength, he vented all his grievances. He didn't know if his choice was correct, whether the other party really had no physical strength, but what he knew was that compared to just now, he quickly plugged in from the side, and the resistance was significantly smaller.

Keylor Navas doesn't seem to have the strength to get involved defensively right now. This allowed him to rely on his own speed and rush past Manchester City's half in the blink of an eye. Looking at the front of him, Toure was coming over to fill in, and Rodriguez did not hesitate, slotting the ball straight into the ball to Perisic, who was also on the wing, directly in front of him.

There, it seems, Richards' defense is also a step slower. And more importantly, Toure's fill-in. Behind him, there was a vacancy.

After a pass, Rodriguez continued to speed up and changed direction towards the middle. Continued to rush forward. On the wing, Perisic didn't hesitate. After receiving a through ball, he immediately returned it to Rodriguez. In just a few seconds, the two men completed the transition. With a good combination on the wing, they did a good job of shaking off City's backline. Managed to break through to midfield.

Compared to just now, Manchester City's speed has indeed weakened - looking at Toure, who is not so timely in his defense, Rodriguez also understands something. Speed is Wolfsburg's biggest advantage at the moment, and he must not waste it.

Another pass, Rodriguez passed the ball he had just gotten at his feet to Gao Shunyao in front, and his speed did not decrease, and he continued to sprint. And understood what he meant, and after receiving the football, Gao Shunyao immediately passed back with a kick, allowing him to get the ball again. The first collaboration allowed Rodriguez to rush to the middle, and this time, he rushed directly to the front of the penalty area, to the best position.

At this moment, Manchester City's defense has not yet closed, relying on two cooperation, Wolfsburg's counterattack quickly rushed to the front of the penalty area.

This breakthrough, Rodriguez did quite beautifully, and he immediately made a pass to send the ball into the box. Mandzukic, who was standing in the penalty area, was already quickly inserted at this time, and his teammate sent a wonderful pass again, which also made him extremely happy, in the penalty area, he received the ball and accelerated suddenly, after shaking off Demichelis, a beautiful shot from the dead corner, instantly kicked out.

Mandzukic had a beautiful shot, but in front of goal, Joe Hart once again showed his skills. He suddenly fell to the ground, and his hand that was trying to stretch out blocked in front of the football, and just at the last moment, his block saved the door of Manchester City again!

Joe Hart saved the team again, but it is undeniable that Manchester City have become worse than they were just now. In the first half, they pressed Wolfsburg almost out of breath, but now, Rodriguez can kill half assists, such a change, anyone can understand that Manchester City is really too tired now.

In this game, Manchester City still failed to seize the advantage before they ran out of energy. Therefore, they still have to pay enough tuition fees for their immaturity in the Champions League.

Of course, in the face of a difficult situation, Manchester City will naturally not sit still. They have also begun to adjust their personnel at this time. Since the players on the pitch can no longer cope with the fierce confrontation, relying on their own thick enough squad to defeat the opponent is also one of Manchester City's tactics. Soon, Manchester City made a personnel change. Nasri was replaced by Milner, and Garcia also brought on Yaya Toure at this time, and they immediately made adjustments when faced with a difficult situation.

Obviously, Pellegrini has long had his own arrangements for tactics. Such a substitution, I'm afraid he has already thought about it: his two substitutions are very targeted. On the one hand, replacing an offensive all-round midfielder Yaya Toure with a defensive midfielder Xavi Garcia can make his team have better defensive ability, and on the other hand, replacing Nasri with English-style midfielder Milner is equivalent to giving the team's frontcourt more running ability. At a time when Manchester City's players are generally declining in physical strength and losing their ability to run, the replacement of these two people obviously just strengthens the team's defensive ability.

On the other hand, Kolarov, who is still on the field at this time, can be said to be a very important part of Manchester City. In this game, Manchester City deliberately launched more attacks from him, and also mobilized his offensive participation very well. Now after the players in the front court have been adjusted and replaced, Manchester City's attack has also changed from the crazy full-court attack just now, to a defensive counterattack that retreats to the half, and in such tactics, Kolarov's role is becoming more and more prominent.

In the first half, he relied on the whole court to attack to seize the opportunity, and in the second half, he relied on substitutions to strengthen the defense, and at the same time relied on Kolarov to maintain a certain offensive ability to deter the opponent - here, all of Pellegrini's tactical design, Wolfsburg players are also well aware.

His tactics were really well laid out - it's just that the situation on the field didn't seem to be quite what he thought. Because of Manchester City's tactical execution problems, they did score goals and ran out of energy, but at this moment, their score did not dominate, and it was still a 1-1 draw. And with such a score, choosing to go on the defensive is not a smart approach.

In doing so, he is tantamount to motivating Wolfsburg, and even telling them plainly that Manchester City has no offensive ability now, and the rest of the time will depend on Wolfsburg's attack. If it had been a 1-0 lead, it might have made Wolfsburg impetuous, attacking frequently and even making mistakes, but now that the score is 1-1, then things are very different.

The Wolfsburg players don't need to rush at all right now, so they don't need to be impatient to launch a wild attack. On the contrary, they could have attacked slowly and forced City to death - although Manchester City's defense is also very good, it is still very unwise to give the initiative to attack to an opponent who has no disadvantage.

Pellegrini was afraid that he didn't expect such a thing, and even if he thought of it, he had no choice: how many people, how many teams, can have enough confidence to leave the team with a chance to make mistakes? No matter how good a coach is, he is helpless to make mistakes in the team.

Because of this, when Manchester City really made a mistake, they also had to accept their unlucky fate.

With Manchester City's substitutions, Wolfsburg's side has also made player changes. This time, Perisic was replaced by Wolfsburg, and they brought on Mousassisoko to play. After he came on the field, he was directly placed on the right side by Wolfsburg, Turan moved to the left side to continue the attack, and he was on the right, responsible for dealing with Kolarov.

Since Manchester City want to use Kolarov as the starting point of the attack, then Wolfsburg can scrap him as soon as possible. When Moussassoko was an attacking player, some of the attacks were very brainless, and it could even be said that one of the team's wings was basically dead as soon as he came on the pitch, and there was no hope, but his strong body was enough to ensure that he could make Kolarov dumb, and in this way, Manchester City's attack had collapsed.

And after their offense is over, Wolfsburg has nothing to worry about, facing a team that has a lot of physical exertion and no counter-attacking ability, Wolfsburg has no reason to worry more. For the past 60 minutes, Manchester City have been pressing them down, and although the Wolfsburg players have counter-attacked, they are not enough to breathe, and now is the moment for them to raise their eyebrows.
