Schalke's clean defeat made the entire German media silent, no one expected such a crucial game, Schalke actually played such a play, which simply made the media who were looking forward to more changes in the league competition situation depressed home. After the game, the media grabbed Keller and scolded him, and the new Schalke coach's coaching career also looked precarious.

"Turning the league focus into a slaughter, Schalke came home with a poor performance. In the first half of the season, they were able to block the opponent, and in the second half of the season, they played like this, which shows that changing the manager is the biggest mistake for Schalke. ”

The media blamed Schalke one after another, and it looked like it was not over if he didn't oust Keller from power. The coach, who took over Schalke not long ago, looks like he will be really unlucky if he doesn't have some results. However, how people say Schalke is not about Wolfsburg, the three points are in hand, and there should be no more contact between them and Schalke this season.

Successfully defeating the enemy, this is enough for Wolfsburg. Moreover, there is no team left behind in the league, and the Champions League game still retains a good physical strength, this game, Wolfsburg can be said to have gained a lot.

"Maybe the focus battle between Wolfsburg and Schalke, the only good thing is to give Wolfsburg more stamina to face Porto. Although Wolfsburg lost away, maybe this one, they can make a difference. ”

Even the media have to admit that after this game, Wolfsburg can be said to be the biggest winner, and after retaining plenty of physical strength and full morale, they are more hopeful in the Champions League.

Originally, the German media was very worried about the away defeat of Wolfsburg. It has always been very dissatisfied, but when Wolfsburg actually came to face Porto at home. The German media still hoped that Wolfsburg would be victorious. In any case, Wolfsburg is a German team, and their attitude towards Wolfsburg can be said to be angry. But there is absolutely no deep hatred, and when it comes to the real game, although they complain, they still support Wolfsburg.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if Schalke's defeat could be exchanged for a win for Wolfsburg in the Champions League – and, if you look closely, it's not impossible.

With a big score of 2-1, it looks like Porto have a slight advantage. But Wolfsburg did have an away goal, and it was a home game. This also makes people dare not assert that Wolfsburg must be the backward one. Although Wolfsburg can be said to have played the worst game in the first leg of the Bundesliga, their poor performance is also less than that of a completely hopeless team.

This season, Wolves have a big home advantage, and every time they play at home, they have a much better result than on the road. On their home turf, as long as Wolfsburg doesn't give up as voluntarily as they did against Arsenal, the chances of holding on to victory are still quite high. And even if it is a 1-0 victory, Wolfsburg can win Champions League promotion.

Of course, Wolfsburg can't give up on his own initiative - although people have suspected that Wolfsburg has a perfunctory performance for the league in the Champions League, but no matter how perfunctory. Wolfsburg can't afford to have two Champions League games in a row. Moreover, because of the pain of being scolded by the media during this time, Wolfsburg is also determined to play a good game. Anyway, he is also the team that qualified first in the group. If the top 16 are eliminated, it really can't be justified.

Wolfsburg clearly owes Keller of Schalke. Because of his mistakes, against Schalke. Wolfsburg was able to preserve a lot of physical strength. With physical strength, when facing Porto again, Wolfsburg can also send a better lineup and work hard for their turnaround.

In this game, Wolfsburg also sent their strongest lineup. In the front, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic are still on the field, and in the midfield, Nemanja Matic, Shahin, Perisic and Turan are four people on the pitch together. They have not changed at the back, and the combination of defenders who have been more and more stable recently is also worthy of Wolfsburg's trust.

Compared with the previous round of games, their biggest change is the replacement of Shahin in the midfield - Makoto Hasebe is now playing more and more as a substitute player, and after more than half a season, Shahin, who is getting better and better, is now considered to be in the main position.

As he gets older, Hasebe's current problems are indeed more obvious. His dedication may be able to help if the team wants to defend to the death, but if the team wants to play a head-to-head matchup against a strong opponent, then Makoto Hasebe is a little bit lacking.

In the last round against Porto, it was his mistakes that led to Porto's victory. Compared to Shahin, who has been in excellent form recently, he really deserves to be on the bench. After all, Wolfsburg wants to win this game, and they can't just want to be guilty.

There were some minor changes to the lineup on the Wolfsburg side, while Porto's side also used a similar lineup as in the previous round. Only this time, they seem to emphasize the structure of 451 more, with Ronaldo and Varela both flanks in the front court withdrawn more backwards, obviously, compared to the last game, they also seem to be more focused on defense.

It's no surprise that Porto are tactically a little inferior to the top five leagues, but they are not stupid. A big reason why they conceded goals in the last game was because they relied on interceptions from the back line and were not reliable. Although Mangala is very strong, the performance that was passed by Gao Shunyao that time can be said to be impressive. Wolfsburg's forwards are not bad, both of them have quite good quality, Porto have proven that it is not reliable to defend by defenders alone, and they naturally need to tighten up their lineup.

After all, this time they are playing away from home and dare not play as openly as they do at home. The backcourt is a little tighter and should cause some problems for Wolfsburg. As for the attack, Porto did not give up, but compared to the wild attack in the last game, they are ready to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Wolfsburg this time.

Although just in recent games, Bayern have just proved that defensive counter-attacks are not a good way to deal with Wolfsburg, but Porto used this tactic to foul on duty. After all, they still have their own advantages compared to Bayern, and their advantages give them the courage to try so.

First of all, their striker Martinez is of good quality and should not waste his chances, and he is a counter-attacking weapon himself. He has good pace and explosiveness, and this advantage is enough to make Porto's counter-attack even sharper.

Moreover, the difference between Porto and Bayern is that Porto does not have to seek victory at all. For them, as long as they can score an away goal in this game, they have a huge advantage: although Wolfsburg have an away goal, after all, there is only one away goal, and the advantage is not big. If Porto can score away goals, then Wolves will have to play 3-1 if they want to win.

Scoring three goals in 90 minutes is a certain difficulty for Wolfsburg, and if Porto defends with all their might, Wolfsburg may not be able to take it. And if the game drags into extra time, then the game has a big advantage against Porto: although Wolfsburg said that the consumption against Schalke is not large, there is still a gap in physical strength compared to Porto. Even if it is a home game, Wolfsburg's physical strength will be a headache after entering extra time. What's more, the bench on Porto's side is also much better than that of Wolfsburg, although Devoor, Atsu and others don't have much meaning in regular time and Wolfsburg, but when it comes to extra time, that's another matter.

Because the situation was different, Porto's tactics also made their own sense, and not only did they choose to defend and counter-attack, but they launched an attack as soon as the game started.

Schalke had just been beaten 3-1 by Wolfsburg a few days ago with such a kick. However, Porto still chose this style of play. They dare to play like this, and it is based on the same reason - first, Porto are not afraid of losing, as long as they have a goal, it doesn't matter if Wolfsburg scores. Second, how can Porto's lineup be compared without Schalke after Huntelaar and Farfan?

In terms of attacking power, Porto is much stronger. They have a strong sense of self-confidence in this.

Soon after the start of the game, Porto launched their own attack as soon as they got the ball. On the right side, after Danilo got the ball, he directly pressed the sideline forward and launched an attack, J Ronaldo cut directly to the middle, and Danilo cooperated in pairs, and Martinez in the middle also quickly plugged in, they wanted to form a three-man cooperation and open the door to Wolfsburg.

It's a cliché, but it works. From Arsenal to Bayern now, it is such a fixed routine, but it is very sharp to play. Defensive counter-attacks don't require any particularly obscure coordination system, and one of its biggest features is that it is unusually simple and clear, but it is hugely powerful.

However, simple tactics often have extremely high demands on players. If the players are not strong and the tactics are simple, it is self-defeating. Danilo had a high level of confidence in himself, but he was quickly entangled by Rodriguez. On the wing, Rodriguez directly entangled him, not giving him a chance to cross or break through, and the Wolfsburg left-back firmly locked him on the wing.

In terms of strength, Wolfsburg is not afraid of Porto when it is at full play. With just one person, they can seal Danilo Neche and his association with Martinez.

In desperation, Danilo could only pass the ball to J Ronaldo, who was outflanked in the middle. However, Kjaer, Nemanja Matic and Rodriguez next to Danilo were all close to Ronaldo at the moment of his pass. This is the effect that Wolfsburg wants, forcing the opponent to make a fixed pass, and then intercepting it, which is much simpler. Even if J Ronaldo is very capable, the three of them can't help it, and Porto's offensive just arrived in front of the Wolfsburg penalty area, and it was blocked by Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg's defensive intensity seems to be stronger than in the previous game - watching Wolfsburg play, Danilo suddenly had a thought: perhaps, this is the real strength of Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich competition? (To be continued.) )
