Section 356 The world's top
Now that you have determined that you are going to encounter a strong opponent, and it is determined that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the best thing to do, of course, is to stop thinking about it. No matter how strong Real Madrid is, as long as Wolfsburg has a good mentality and is not afraid of losing, it will naturally not have any bad effects. Compared to Shahin's expectations and Matic's worries, perhaps Mandzukic is the most correct - what do you want to do so much? It's good enough to be in the quarter-finals, but now it's the league to worry about, not the Champions League.
Real Madrid is too strong, no matter how worried you are, you may not be able to win, but if you work hard in the league, it is completely possible to win the championship. Wolfsburg thought so, and naturally did the same, and when the weekend came, facing Nuremberg, Wolfsburg did not rotate at all, and directly sent their main players.
There is a Champions League in midweek, but in the weekend game, it is still the main lineup, and Wolfsburg's approach is tantamount to making it clear that all the strength will be put on the league. From the time they did this, the players at Wolfsburg knew that they were afraid that after the game, the media would inevitably criticize and scold them.
They scolded like this, and Wolfsburg admitted it. But since he has been scolded, he naturally has to play this game well. Their team managed to secure the top spot, they didn't want to fall down easily, and they were quite desperate in the game.
Perisic was the first in the game to open the door for Wolfsburg. After slotting into the box on the left, he faked a cross and fired a shot into the top corner of the net to get past Nuremberg. And randomly, Shaheen knocked on the door of Wolfsburg for the team for the second time. He plugged in the back row. After receiving Gao Shunyao's knock back at the edge of the penalty area, he dodged the opponent's block with a smash. Then he shot the ball into the back of the net. Immediately after, a corner kick was taken. Naldo's header added another point to Wolfsburg, and in the final moments of the game, Perisic broke through again and tripped in the box, giving Wolfsburg a penalty.
This time the penalty will not be easily wasted at Wolfsburg. Mandzukic scored the goal to make it 4-0 at Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg's victory came quite beautifully, although their two strikers were not particularly in shape because of the national team match just past, but this one. They still got a big win.
Wolfsburg's continued victory made Bayern helpless no matter how hard they tried. Although Bayern played a terrible 9-2 scoreline, they still continued to lag behind Wolfsburg and honestly finished second in the league. In this competition, Wolfsburg did not lose their advantage, they still have the upper hand.
However, in another competition, things are a little different. When the Champions League in midweek arrives, walk through the tunnel and watch the opposing players. Gao Shunyao only had a wry smile in his heart.
Even if they had thought many times before the game, Real Madrid was the strongest opponent they had encountered this season, but when they really met the opponent, Gao Shunyao could still feel the aura of the opponent as the best team of the century. Although Wolfsburg is playing at home. But looking at the other party's name, Gao Shunyao really didn't feel that he had any advantages at all.
In Real Madrid's lineup, the striker is Benzema who starts. And behind him, Ronaldo. Mesut Ozil and Di Maria lined up. They are further behind. It was Alonso and Khedira as starters, and the back line, Arbeloa, Varane, Ramos, Coentrão. Real Madrid's goalkeeper in this game is Diego Lopez, who has been deeply valued by Mourinho in recent times, although he is not necessarily the strongest in terms of strength, but in recent times, he is definitely the main player of Real Madrid.
Obviously, if you look at the opponent's formation, you can see that Real Madrid did not take Wolfsburg lightly because it was weak. Jose Mourinho has always been consistent in his charge, and this time it was the same. The situations that Wolfsburg were hoping for, such as whether they would replace Benzema with Higuain and Modric instead of Khedira, or start Casey and even put Kaka on the pitch, none of these things happened, Kaka, Modric, Higuain, Benzema, Kassi, Pepe, these people were all on the bench, and Real Madrid still used their main line-up.
And this lineup is also the most depressing lineup for the Wolfsburg players. Benzema has strong technical ability and a strong ability to suppress Wolfsburg, Ronaldo's level is needless to say, no one in the world dares to underestimate him, there are so many people, expecting Real Madrid's counterattack to be as ineffective as Bayern, it is basically impossible. And Mourinho did not forget to put a full-time defender Khedira against Wolfsburg, and he was also cautious to the extreme, and Wolfsburg's difficult home stadium ushered in an unprecedented enemy.
The horror of the enemy is indeed unprecedented, the opponent's bench is better than his main force, and the pressure on people is also very terrifying. Although Real Madrid and Bayern should be regarded as teams at the same level, perhaps because they usually meet less and study less, Gao Shunyao still feels that they are more terrifying.
"It's like a dream." Looking at the other party's starlight, Gao Shunyao didn't know whether this should be a nightmare or a dream.
However, although Gao Shunyao was nervous, as the team walked onto the court, the anxiety gradually disappeared. Perhaps for the players, there is nothing more than cheers to dispel anxiety, when they walked on the court, a burst of shouts rang out, but also reminded Gao Shunyao that this is still a public stadium after all.
"Wolfsburg, win! Wolfsburg, come on! ”
Although the opponent was extremely strong, the cries of the fans did not stop from the moment the players entered. Even against the best team of the century, fans are still convinced that their team can fight. Listening to the support of his fans, thinking about his achievements this season, and seeing that the other party has indeed shown caution like a great enemy, Gao Shunyao is also proud in his heart.
The other party is the best team of the century, even they don't dare to underestimate themselves, why should they look down on their own team? The game hasn't been played yet, so who knows what the final outcome will be?
Maybe it was because he had already been mentally prepared for losing, so when the game started, Gao Shunyao's mood quickly adjusted. Standing on the field, on the one hand, he watched the actions of the opponent's top players running to get the ball, and on the other hand, Gao Shunyao's heart also turned quickly, where is the weakness of Real Madrid's football.
Although Real Madrid is very strong, it is definitely not invincible in the world. Others don't say it, it's their old enemy Barcelona, who can always play on par with them. And in the past Champions League round of 16, Real Madrid was almost defeated by Paris, and the media said that Ancelotti's tactical arrangement was stronger than Mourinho in that game, and the noise was also boiling for a while.
Of course, Gao Shunyao also knows those rumors and understands those statements. Thanks to the media, Real Madrid's tactical characteristics, it can be said that no one is unaware.
Real Madrid's biggest advantage is that they move very quickly in midfield, because of this speed, they can form extremely beautiful and fast counter-attacks in front. In this case, the best way is to adjust the position at the back, and the two lines are closer, so that the opponent has no space to counterattack, which can make Real Madrid unable to play.
In this game, Wolfsburg also made a similar arrangement. Their backcourt players have also been tweaked accordingly. Real Madrid's tactics have been studied too much, and the methods against them have been thought about too much, and they may not be able to have much advantage against Wolfsburg.
Moreover, you can find a way to further weaken the opponent's offense.
After the start of the game, Gao Shunyao also radiated great enthusiasm for fighting. As soon as the game began, he rushed forward to snatch the ball from the feet of Alonso, who was in possession in midfield. Since your own team is weak, you can't go wrong by defending from the forward line.
Gao Shunyao's rush can be said to be very threatening, and in the face of his rush, Alonso turned backwards to avoid him and gave the ball to Arbeloa, as if trying to control it. Of course, Gao Shunyao didn't want the opponent to be in control, and he also pounced on Arbeloa at the first time, wanting to get the football.
But at this moment, Arbeloa made a pass and gave the ball back to Alonso. And Alonso, unlike the slow control of the pass just now, without Gao Shunyao's interference, Alonso immediately showed a threat, passed the ball with one kick, and sent the ball forward.
Wolfsburg's midfield was tighter this time, and they were fully guarding against Real Madrid's midfield. But that's what it is, giving Alonso plenty of opportunities. The football was stuffed by Alonso and sent directly to Di Maria on the right side of the penalty area!
Straight up front from the back, Alonso's passing was pretty good. Real Madrid's counterattack is still unguardable!
Di Maria, who got the ball, also rushed up on the wing in the first moment, and his impact was very fast, and naturally he was also a big threat. It's just that Rodriguez is also watching him closely at this time, not giving him the slightest chance to cut inside. The two men were running against each other, and this time the loser was clearly Di Maria. He didn't have a chance to cut inside, he could only cross and kick the ball out.
Di Maria's cross from the right was a lot less of a threat than his in-cut cut. The crooked cross landed near the near post and didn't seem to be a big threat at all. The left-footed player could only barely deliver crosses down the right, and Wolfsburg's defence was somewhat successful.
But they overlooked an important issue. Although the landing point is not good, Ronaldo has already rushed up. He chose to grab the point quite persistently, the whole person was like a sharp arrow, straight up, and his choice was also amazing, just when the football had not fallen, he suddenly bounced, a header, and blasted the ball towards the goal!
In the penalty area, Ronaldo did not choose to shoot, but used a header to end this attack! This change was something the goalkeeper didn't expect at all, and he didn't even react to watch the football fall into the net!
As soon as he started, Ronaldo broke through the gate of Wolfsburg. And looking at his goal, Gao Shunyao suddenly understood something: maybe Real Madrid's tactics have no advantage, but their players have too much advantage.
What is the world's top player, Gao Shunyao finally met. (To be continued.) )
