For Wolfsburg, their current Champions League situation can definitely be said to be very good. With a 2-1 win away from home, they have an unbeatable advantage and can get the win even if they defend it all, and they can say they have the advantage against Manchester City.

For Wolfsburg, the pressure of the Champions League has now largely disappeared from them. The most important thing they need to think about is to settle the battle without going wrong in the second round of the Champions League. For Wolfsburg, if you want to go wrong in the second leg of the Champions League, it is also very important to preserve your strength at this stage, but how to save your strength? The most important thing is to be in the league and not to get into trouble because of the game.

As long as there are no problems in the league, Wolfsburg can be sure that they will win the second leg of the Champions League.

Between the two rounds of the Champions League, Wolfsburg has a total of three games, and these three games can also be said to be a heavy task for Wolfsburg. In these three rounds, they have to face three opponents of Bayer Leverkusen, Hoffenheim and Bayern, and two of these three matchups are Champions League battles.

If a team really wants to win all of these games, it is undoubtedly a huge burden. Four of the five games were against top teams, and even the strongest teams faced a heavy load. However, at this point, the effect of the points accumulated by Wolfsburg in the previous games is also reflected.

They are now second in the league with 50 points. Although it is still difficult to catch up with Bayern by 9 points in front, it is also a notch away from the team behind it. These three games. Even if they don't play well, if they just want to maintain their place in the Champions League. It's still not a big problem.

With the advantages accumulated in the past, coupled with the fact that this season's league games were not the focus of their strategy, they can no longer spend too much energy in these rounds, even if they are playing football, they can still ensure that their league has nothing to worry about. Because of the accumulation, they are now losing, therefore, the current Wolf Castle. You don't want to win, you lose to your opponent, it doesn't matter to them.

What's more, although Wolfsburg at this time did have a certain loss of strength due to continuous battles, it did not mean that they must not have any combat effectiveness in the league. After all, this season's Wolfsburg is not last season, and the thickness of Wolfsburg's bench has been greatly enhanced since the beginning of this season. Even if it was a lot of consumption in the match against Manchester City on the 19th, but on the 22nd, when the game against Bayer Leverkusen began, Wolfsburg still played well.

In the middle of this game. Wolves made a number of personnel changes, costing Turan a lot in midweek, with the likes of Mandzukic and Shaheen all rotated for this game. The likes of Olic Olich, Kevin De Bruyne and Moussa also started the game.

It stands to reason. Gao Shunyao did consume as much as he did in the midweek game. However, because Mandzukic was injured not long ago and played the full 90 minutes in this game, Wolfsburg also took more care of him when it came to the rotation. Moreover, Olic and Mandzukic have not worked together much in the club, and the team is still a little uneasy about the two of them rashly combining on the field, so in this game, the team rotates Mandzukic.

The rotation of the striker, it is clear that the team is out of the brain. Above the back line, the use of Moussa is more like a reward for him. In the game against Manchester City, Moussa's performance can be said to be quite good. It didn't take long for him to score a goal for the team. Although that cross is not actually his assist, his contribution is still not negligible, because he was also entrusted with the responsibility of Wolfsburg because of his pass, and he will replace Shaheen as a central midfielder in this game.

Of course, Wolfsburg arranged their lineup like this, in addition to wanting to promote Moussa, another very important reason is also because they have a lot of physical exertion in this game, and in the next game, they will face a strong team like Bayer Leverkusen, on the whole, they also want to defend rather than control. Compared with Shahin, Musa has better physical fitness and stronger defensive ability, and with him on the field, Wolfsburg has further enhanced the ability to intercept in the midfield.

Of course, while the midfield interception is enhanced, Wolfsburg's midfield organization ability will also be weakened to a certain extent because of Shahin's absence. But Wolfsburg didn't take it to heart. Because of this game, Wolfsburg originally did not plan to use him as the organizational core, compared to Moussa, the organizational core of this game, Wolfsburg has another candidate.

In this game, De Bruyne, who could not play in the Champions League, played his part in the game. He was brought in by Wolfsburg in the winter to make a difference in the league and at this moment he is really showing his quality.

He replaced Turan, who had played all Champions League games, and with Shaheen also out on the pitch, he had plenty of possession in the game. And as a technically outstanding midfielder, he has been integrated into Wolfsburg and has a lot of possession, his performance is enough to make people feel amazing.

In this game, Leverkusen originally thought that they would definitely be the dominant side: Wolfsburg's strategic focus this season has always been in the Champions League, while Leverkusen's strategic focus has always been in the league. The Champions League has just passed, and Wolfsburg's physical exertion is not small, and in the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen did not put too much energy, so they also retained a lot of energy to cope with one game. Just as in the last game against Manchester City, Wolfsburg took advantage of Manchester City's lack of energy to win, and in this game, Bayer Leverkusen also wants to draw a picture and win.

However, Wolfsburg is not Manchester City, they don't want face, and they don't have any psychological pressure to play in a disadvantageous position. And the league is different from the cup, you can afford to lose, and you don't care about the outcome of one or two games, and the psychological burden is completely different. What's more, the Wolfsburg players are also very good, even if they play counter-attacks, they play very well.

In this game, from the beginning of the game, De Bruyne used his excellent skills to give Leverkusen a dismount. His play made Leverkusen's idea come to naught.

This game was similar to people's expectations, in the game, Bayer Leverkusen, who was playing at home, was more energetic, and not long after the start, they were blindly attacking. However, Wolfsburg's central defense, after adjustments, also has stronger strength, and although Leverkusen's onslaught is ferocious, it was intercepted this time, which did not help at all.

And after a Bayer Leverkusen attack was intercepted by Moussa in the middle, Wolfsburg's counter-attack was immediately launched.

Unlike usual, this time on the counterattack, Moussa rushed forward with the ball on his own. He's not Shaheen, he doesn't have too good passing ability, and he likes to rush more than passing. Although everyone knows that breaking through with the ball in the middle can be said to be the most difficult thing in a football game, but after he got the ball, he did it without hesitation.

The chances of such a breakthrough succeeding are naturally almost non-existent, and Leverkusen's defense will not be directly broken by his brainless brute force. However, his impact still made Leverkusen's backline tighten under pressure, and for a while, it also gave Wolfsburg's players more room to move.

And it was in this context that De Bruyne found a good opportunity. He stretched out his hand and shouted for Moussa for the ball, showing his position. And Musa's impact finally couldn't hit forward after reaching the opponent's half. In the face of interception, in desperation, he could only pass the ball and give the ball to De Bruyne's feet.

His passing skills are quite average, and if it weren't for De Bruyne's constant shouting, he might not have seen anyone. But regardless of his passing ability, as long as the football is within De Bruyne's control, his job is done. Got the ball at his feet and faced a back line that had made a mistake, De Bruyne immediately found his chance. He stopped the ball with one kick and then kicked it directly over the top and kicked it into the box.

Although De Bruyne's position is still near the right wing, it cannot be said to be close to the wing. It's hard to say whether it's a cross or a long ball. However, no matter what the name of this kick is, at least his role is very clear to everyone, the football fell directly into the penalty area, and smashed it to Gao Shunyao accurately.

In the face of high-altitude passes, Gao Shunyao naturally will not let go of the opportunity. Bayer Leverkusen's defence is good, but they don't have Kompany, and the Bundesliga is not as savage as the Premier League, so he has nothing to worry about. He jumped high in the box, headed at the passing football, and smashed the ball into the goal!

As the whistle blew, Ko Shunyao's goal once again made the Wolfsburg fans cheer. Once again, Gao Shunyao scored for Wolfsburg, and against Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg did not lose because they were too tired in the Champions League, on the contrary, they once again proved that their strength cannot be easily defeated!
