Before the start of the season, the summer at Wolfsburg could be said to have been quite good. Small. Fastest update access: . Throughout the summer, they brought in more than a dozen players, plus the young people they promoted, and they expanded their first-team squad to more than 30 players. In this summer's games, they kept trying to rotate these guys and it worked well.

Everything about them seems to be 'good'. The players have introduced a lot of new players, and these players have also shown their strength. Nemanja Matic integrated into the team quickly, but Makoto Hasebe remained strong. The old demon Salihamidzic and Jack-of-all-trades Oakes have both performed well, and Perisic, although a little slower to integrate, has obvious potential - these players seem to have given Wolfsburg a very good future to succeed.

In particular, their forward line looks extremely 'outstanding'. Mandzukic is still in good form, and their other two strikers have also played well. In the friendlies, Helmos continued to score goals, and after injury, he seemed to show his strength again. Although Gao Shunyao has started to play badly, he has also found his form after starting several friendly matches in a row. Immediately afterwards, he returned to China to play in the national team, and immediately scored another national team hat-trick, and at the same time, Helmos, who returned to the main team on the Wolfsburg side, also turned on the scoring mode again and attacked for Wolfsburg.

Their pre-season friendlies seem to have proved their quality, with eight of their 10 matches won in a remarkable manner. Last season they were relegated and this season they have been reborn.

"This season. Wolfsburg's goal is to compete in Europe. ”

Before the start of the season, Magath also swore that he would pursue it. There was something arrogant about his words. But it's not impossible. In the 11-12 season, the Bundesliga has become the third league. They have increased their European places, and a top-six finish does not seem out of reach for Wolfsburg.

However, in the friendly match before the season, although Wolfsburg played very well, when the official game came, their poor performance made all the previous praise turn into nonsense. Lost the first game, and it was to the Bundesliga. It's just a matter of losing. was also hit by a striker of the opponent in a row. Even Wolves during the relegation period last season did not play so humiliatingly, how can such a performance be regarded as a step towards victory?

Some people take the results of the friendly match at Wolfsburg as a joke, maybe they are just looking for some underdogs to play and deceive themselves; Someone once again took Magath to make fun of him, this coach who is not popular, is the object of ridicule forever. And there are also those who believe that Wolfsburg is sane 'sex' to give up the German Cup - but. Why should a team that has been reborn give up the cup competition? This kind of thing is strange in itself. Giving up the cup so early, that's what the relegation team needs to do, the goal of Wolfsburg. Could it be that it will not be relegated again?

After a summer of rectification, Wolfsburg still lost to the Bundesliga team, which is the standard. It makes people laugh.

The scorn of the outside world, although Magath did not pay much attention. But he was still able to anticipate it. After the game, he has been 'gloomy' in the team. I don't have a good face for anyone. After the players saw his face, they took training a lot more seriously, and the team's senior management also understood that he was in a bad mood and did not talk to him more about the results of the game. These practices gave him a lot of free time, and after the game, he also watched the losing game over and over again, carefully looking for the problem.

"In this game, in the first 70 minutes, the situation was always under our '', and we always had a lot of chances, but we were unlucky to not score. In the last 20 minutes, we played a little bit apart, which is probably because the team has just been formed and everyone is not familiar enough, maybe after a while, it will be much better. ”

As assistant coach, Hollbach has been watching the game with Magath. He has long summarized the problems shown by Wolfsburg in the game. There were a lot of games before the season, but because there were too many players introduced, the players of the team still couldn't really get to know each other. In this game, they played very well when the strength was dominant in the front, but in the situation of falling behind, it was difficult for them to maintain their composure and achieve 'outstanding' cooperation. Such a problem should be regarded as the pain of the team's change of main force, and it is not particularly serious.

It's just a pity that in this game, Wolfsburg lost the German Cup prematurely.

"It's a lie to say that you are unlucky, but in the end, it's not your strength...... I've taken into account all of what you've said, the team has only been playing together for a month now, and of course I know that we don't know each other well. But even if the cohesion of the team is not enough, but as long as it is played with the wind, then the team will not have any problems, I originally thought that against the Bundesliga team, there will be no problems, but if you look at this goal, is this bad luck? ”

Magath had a different idea about his words, and his brows were twisted together as he watched the game.

On the screen, Salihamidzic is passing a ball to Helmos in front. It was a pretty good through ball that went straight through the opposition defence and into the feet of Helmos. The situation of a single knife was formed in this way, this is an excellent opportunity, and the strength of Wolf Castle can also be seen.

However, after watching the game many times, Hollebach knew what was next: Hellos cowered in the face of this great opportunity, and did not choose to 'shoot' the 'goal' immediately. He tried to adjust the angle, but he did it worse and worse, and sent the ball directly into the arms of the opponent's 'goalkeeper', so that the attack was stopped.

'At the beginning of the season, it was inevitable that the players would be a little nervous.

To this, he could only sigh.

There are a lot of problems in the team, the players don't cooperate well, and there is some tension at the beginning of the season, these things, I'm afraid Magath has long understood, but he dares to change so many players, just because he firmly believes that the team's strength is good, when he can play downwind, where is the need to worry about the team losing?

It's a pity that this game. There are too many opportunities to 'waste'. Helmos played well in the previous friendlies, but this one. He played very poorly.

His sensitive runs, his sense of smell. They all lost their traces in the game, and even his 'shooting' skills declined a lot because he was not relaxed enough.

This incident made Hollerbach quite depressed: watching the performance of Helmos in the friendly match, he originally thought that he could score a lot of goals for the team and help the team win. However, people really didn't expect that when it came to the official competition, he played so badly.

That's probably what angers Magath the most: the poor performance of the other players. Magath is prepared and he doesn't think it can affect the team's results. However, Helmos's poor performance was unexpected.

And his performance has also become a huge problem for Wolfsburg this season: he lost a cup game, and if he lost, Wolfsburg said goodbye to a season's cup competition.

He is simply drawing an end to his main position.

Although he was justifying, Magath's look was 'looking'. But he was still unhappy, "When he played those weak teams, he was not nervous. As I said a long time ago, I don't like to execute tactics. I know that those little skills and clever players who play with themselves have no future. They are very majestic in the face of the weak. But when facing a strong enemy, there is nothing to do. Against a slightly better team, they lose their effectiveness. I don't know how to play anymore. Looking at this match, he 'waved' a few chances. Isn't that enough? ”

Magath's words, Hollerbach no longer refutes, and he admits that he is not wrong.

"What do the media think about this game?"

Watching the game over and over again, Magath also accepted the reality of losing. And after the acceptance, he also asked Hollerbach what he thought about the media.

He wasn't asking about the media's views on the future of Wolfsburg – things that would only prove that the media were sensationalizing, he was asking about the media's analysis of the game, for which Hollerbach had been prepared for a long time.

"The media is saying that we have too many foreign players, and the mercenaries are not willing to work hard in the face of tough battles, and they don't play hard enough, which leads to our loss......"

"So, our local players are working hard? The result of the efforts of our homegrown players on the pitch is that they can't even play a Bundesliga team? ”

The comments of the media made Magath immediately question, and in the face of his doubts, Hollebach could only smile bitterly.

It is indeed too much to put the blame on foreigners, they are stars when they win, and to become mercenaries when they lose, saying that they are not working hard enough.

And they are really not to blame for the loss of this game. Compared to them, the German players are not much better. Let's not talk about Halmos 'lost' because the opponent's defense was too strong. The defenders at the back, who were mostly Germans, didn't end up being poured three goals in a row.

"Ignore the media's words. I've never been a coach who likes the media, and they certainly don't say nice things about me. And their bullshit tactical analysis is not necessary to mention it to the players. We are not Bayern, we are not Borussia Dortmund 'Monteon', we can't recruit good local players, and we don't count on foreign aid, can we wait for death? Looking at Helmos' play, I think we should use foreign reinforcement and give more intensity. ”

Magath scoffed at the comments of the media. Of course, he knew that the German media did not like Wolfsburg, which used a lot of foreign aid, and even less liked Magath. He has long been used to this kind of thing.

In his heart, he has his own views on winning or losing.

Magath glanced at the screen again before speaking again, "This one has already been lost, and from next week, our league will start." If we lose the cup, we lose, we can't do anything about it, but in the league, we are already light, so we must achieve the goal. I can still give Helmos a chance to play, I'm not against taking care of the homegrown players, but I won't tolerate mistakes like this anymore, and if I want to win in the league, no matter who it is, it can't be an obstacle for me. ”pu
