Section 297
What Gao Shunyao's epiphany was, his teammates didn't know, but at this moment, in the hearts of the players in Wolfsburg, there were definitely few people who were full of joy. Trailing 1-0 at home and conceding goals immediately at the start of the game has made Wolfsburg extremely embarrassed now. After shouting for a long time, they don't want to be the second Dortmund, but their condition can be said to be worse than Dortmund. The horror of the Champions League, the players of Wolfsburg have also seen it, this is not a game of play, this field is more terrifying than the league.
On the field, the Wolfsburg players were a lot more vigilant, but after conceding the goal, the situation of Wolfsburg was greatly reversed. Shakhtar Donetsk began to shrink their defence after scoring. The miners who were fighting away did not intend to press with all their might, which allowed Wolfsburg to be liberated to a large extent.
However, this situation is not something to come as a surprise. Shakhtar Donetsk's attack is strong, but their defense is slightly worse. After all, they are a Ukrainian team, although there are many Brazilian players, but they are mainly concentrated in the front field, and the defense at the back is not particularly good. Although Shakhtar Donetsk can also make their defensive strength much stronger by relying on defensive counterattacks, when the Wolfsburg offensive is fully up, the miners are still under a lot of pressure.
Shakhtar used to be the top defenders, and there was probably only one Srna. This season, as Srna grew older and could no longer adapt to full-backs, and began to play as a central midfielder, Shakhtar's defense was further weakened. In order not to let their defensive weaknesses be penetrated by the opponent's attack, the Shakhtar's approach is naturally to be slightly more restrained, rather than continuing to attack.
Their defensive line began to shrink back. But they still haven't completely given up possession. Their defense wasn't particularly strong. Relying on passing the ball in the backfield, Wolfsburg's attacking opportunities were reduced. On the home ground of Wolfsburg. They are still battling Wolfsburg for ownership of the midfield, and the two sides are locked in a stalemate. Fighting back and forth in midfield.
However, what is subtle is that after the two sides fell into a stalemate, as the midfield tug-of-war, Shakhtar gradually lost its advantage. Although the situation between the two sides is a stalemate, the balance of the game seems to be gradually tilting in favor of Wolfsburg.
Kjaer's significance as a starter is gradually being revealed: when Wolfsburg brought him in, it was because of his superior skills. And now on the pitch. He was also able to pass the ball up the middle and press his defence forward a lot.
In contrast, Shakhtar's defensive line is not good enough because the players are not good enough, and in the face of Wolfsburg forwards have to counterattack, their defense can only retreat to ensure that their passing is not problematic. The more this happens, the bigger the problem. When the Wolfsburg backline players can stand 30 meters from the goal, the Shakhtar players can only stand 20 meters from the goal. Naturally, a stalemate will turn into a more favorable situation for Wolfsburg.
What was originally a confrontation near the center circle gradually turned into a half-court confrontation with the miners. The technical gap between the two sides made the stalemate between the two teams gradually lose their balance. Transmission control on both sides. The gap is gradually being revealed.
And after the gap was widened, both sides were thinking about how to find an opportunity to end their opponent's chance. For the miners, the hope is still on the rapid advance of Mkhitaryan and William. Wolfsburg's idea is to put hope on the abilities of Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic. Speed can be used to counterattack. And the significance of the high school forward is to attack the fortification. The offense of both sides is in line with their own needs.
However. The difference between the two sides is that Wolfsburg have the advantage of home and a better midfield, while Shakhtar's defence is all on Finaldinho.
The defense on Wolfsburg's side can be said to be the result of Magath's long-term devil training. Although their defense at the back is not particularly good, they have good players and tactics in the midfield position. Makoto Hasebe and Nemanja Matic are both able to make quite good interceptions here, and Mkhitaryan can succeed in one assault, but it is unlikely that he will succeed again and again.
When he got the ball again and wanted to hit it quickly, Matic was already close to him, relying on the constant confrontation, which greatly affected the frequency of his feet. And Makoto Hasebe made a frontal steal at this time, cleanly cut off the ball at his feet, and then handed it to his teammates.
Speed is great in football, but there are too many distractions. Wolfsburg's defensive lineup is enough to ensure that they will not be repeatedly attacked by the opponent's speed players.
In comparison, the defensive tactics of the miners seem to be worse. Their defensive pressure is almost all on one person. A good defensive player can certainly guarantee defensive quality, but sometimes, a technical player can handle them.
When the game reached the second half, the football fell to Perisic again, and the Wolfsburg attack began. After getting the ball, Perisic did not attack immediately, but kicked the ball back and handed it to Rodriguez behind him.
He doesn't want a direct impact, but a pass that tears apart the opponent's defence.
The football passed to Rodriguez and Finaldinho had already rushed over to grab the ball. Rodriguez had little chance to break through, he turned and protected the ball and didn't give his opponent any chance. Finaldinho stretched out his foot behind him and stretched out two feet in a row behind his foot, trying to steal his football, but Rodriguez controlled the ball very well, did not show any loopholes, and ran a few steps back himself, taking Fenaldinho with him, leaving the midfield position.
Then, after Finaldinho followed, he crossed the ball to Makoto Hasebe. Makoto Hasebe didn't have any idea of stopping the ball, he directly over-threw the ball to Perisic in front of him, and directly set off a counterattack.
At the same time that Perisic got the ball, on the court, Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic had also begun to run towards the backcourt together. Both of them are impactful players, and once they are running, they have a huge advantage in both heading and receiving long passes. This physical advantage made it difficult for Shakhtar to defend them even one-on-one, and they had to ask the full-backs to give them some more support, and the backline was suppressed very much at once.
Under such pressure, Perisic rushed to the penalty area with the ball. The players in the box were running to see enough space for him to adjust his pace during the run, and then just in front of the box, he fired a long-range shot towards the goal!
Perisic's long-range shot into the far corner of the net was shot from a tricky angle, bypassing the defenders and heading towards the goal. Goalkeeper Pyatov, who had already pounced by this time, stretched out his arm as much as he could, and blocked the shot in front of him.
It was a brilliant save and he kept the ball out of the net!
But at this time, Gao Shunyao had already rushed up. He had already started to notice the path of the ball when Perisic had shot just now. Just after Pyatov's hand touched the ball, Gao Shunyao had already broken free from the defense and rushed to the goal. He didn't hesitate at all, and his shot followed!
The football was kicked up by him and rushed into the goal!
The football went into the net, and the score of the game became a 1-1 draw!
Clenching his fists tightly, Gao Shunyao also let out a sullen breath. It was a simple goal, but it was exactly what he wanted.
On the playing field, watching the rapid counterattack of Shakhtar Donetsk, Gao Shunyao suddenly felt that he understood something. The opponent's concise counterattack was linked to his own goal in the game a few days ago, which made Gao Shunyao more and more clear about his position on the football field.
Players always have to play their part on the pitch, and if you want to be the best star, you have to have the best ability. Even a top superstar doesn't have to be everything, but sometimes, a skill set can make a player stand on their feet.
Last season's Huntelaar is the most typical example, his physical fitness is not very good, and some skills are not even as good as Gao Shunyao, but he has a top sense of smell and shooting skills, just scored more than 40 goals in one season, becoming one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga.
Gao Shunyao has always been thinking about which direction he should go. Whether you want to be a Husky, or you want to be an Olich. But looking at the counterattack of the Donetsk minkhtars, he also thought about what he should do.
The high level of football made him realize what he could and what he couldn't. He can't push like Mkhitaryan, he can't intercept like Fenaldinho, he can't do Shahin's strategy, he can't do Turan's technique, and even he can't become an old fritter like Olich. However, this does not mean that he is useless, he still has his own role on the field.
He showed in the last game that he can score goals on the pitch.
What are the center's top priorities? It's not a pass, it's not a breakthrough, it's not a strategy, it's not an assist. Their task is to grab points in front of them, to score goals after getting the ball. Compared to other tasks, only this task is the most important, as long as this task is a task in which high school forwards have a natural advantage.
What's the point of doing those things? Since he is a center forward, he should rely on shooting to realize his value.
He did it, he relied on his own shot to complete the stunner, on the pitch, he only had one touch of the ball, but that one kick was enough to change the situation.
Archery, point grabbing, awareness, these things are the most likely way forward for him! (To be continued.) )
