In psychology, there was once a guy named Murphy who came up with a law that said that if there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen. This phrase is not recognized many times, but for Wolfsburg, the match against St. Petersburg was like that, and even more than that.

For Wolfsburg, the biggest fear before the start of the game was that they would not be able to win this game. However, the development of the game was even worse than they thought. At the very least, the outcome of the match will not be decided until after 90 minutes, but Wolfsburg have already suffered a blow less than 10 minutes into the game.

Of course, what happened to Wolfsburg actually didn't have much to do with their strength. In this game, Wolfsburg still had the upper hand at the beginning. When the match began, as usual, Wolfsburg tried to launch a quick attack at the first opportunity. Although Zenit St. Petersburg is good and has a greater home advantage, Wolfsburg had only beaten them just two weeks ago, and Wolfsburg was not very afraid of their strength. And in this game, Wolfsburg made the decision to attack at the first time of the game, and fundamentally not give St. Petersburg any respite.

They needed a win, and the cold weather in St. Petersburg made the Wolfsburg players worry about whether the team would lose their ability to take advantage of opportunities if the game dragged on for too long. Therefore, in this game, Wolfsburg took the lead in attacking. They want to use their own offensive.

Once the match began, Wolfsburg's attack unfolded very quickly. It didn't take much for them to adapt and quickly organized their own attack. When Hulk from St. Petersburg cut inside with the ball. When he wanted to make a quick in-cut shot, Wolfsburg's counterattack was officially launched.

In all fairness, although Gao Shunyao has always believed that strong players should not play on the wing, Hulk's breakthrough with the ball is still quite threatening. He's quite physical, average full-back, and it's hard to defend him. Same level of dribbling, those skinny players. It is likely that you will have to shake it two or three times before you can break through, but with his physical fitness, for some defenders who are not strong enough, he can basically squeeze hard with the ball. And full-backs are rarely as physically strong as central defenders, especially in modern football, because the number of full-backs required to participate in the attack has increased greatly, some tall full-backs will not be able to eat in the game because of the lack of offensive ability, therefore. In this position, he is indeed a threat.

The body is strong enough, coupled with the dribbling skills that are not weak, so that he can play at an average level when facing many weak teams. Both in the Portuguese Super League and in the Russian Premier League. He played very well.

But this time, instead of a Portuguese Premier League or a Russian Premier League team, he faced a Bundesliga team. When he cuts inside with the ball on the right flank. Wolfsburg didn't leave him much of a chance. Although he is in one-on-one, it is really difficult to stop. But the Wolfsburg players didn't intend to play him one-on-one from the start.

When he breaks through with the ball. Rodriguez, who was a Wolfsburg full-back, had no choice to stand in front of him. He knew that the gap between his physical condition and Hulk was too great, and it was a little unlikely that one person would want to intercept him. As a smart defender, Rodriguez didn't intend to use his weaknesses and his strengths to fight Hulk head-on, he also chose other methods.

In the face of the breakthrough, he also chose to get close to Hulk, and relying on his close entanglement, he forced Hulk to slow down. He followed Hulk closely step by step, and in the middle, Kjaer also posted at the first time, and the two of them then intercepted Hulk's side through cooperation.

Hulk is indeed strong, but as a tall defensive player, Kjaald's size and physical fitness are no worse than Hulk. He's intercepting head-on, and it's not so easy for Hulk to eat his body. This is especially true when there are people around to guard against you. In the face of this kind of defense, even top technical players will be difficult to break through, and although Hulk's skills are good, his physical fitness also determines that it is difficult for him to change direction with the ball in front of the defenders like a one-meter-seven player, and he does not have much way to intercept this.

The biggest problem with this style of play is that it is very useful against weak teams, but when it comes to strong opponents, better tactics will sometimes greatly reduce their power. In a worse league, no one will do this kind of targeted tactics, but in a better league, or at the national team level, it's different.

Therefore, almost as in the previous game, as soon as the St. Petersburg offensive unfolded, football was shortened by Wolfsburg. Kjaer, of course, didn't give Hulk too much of a chance to shoot, and he was already on the wing before he broke the ball.

Kjaer, who broke off the ball, immediately shifted the ball and kicked the ball to Shaheen in front. Because his position is a little forward, this foot is also quite convenient to pass. The attack and defense of the two sides changed in an instant, and Wolfsburg had already organized an attack in a very short period of time.

Shahin, who received the ball, passed the ball to the side. Perisic, who was on the left flank, received his pass as soon as possible. It's just that although the counterattack started, this time the attack did not start immediately, Perisic, who received the ball, did not choose to insert the ball, but after taking the ball, after pausing in place, he made a long pass and kicked the ball to the right side.

Perisic's approach can be described as quite clever: because of Hulk's rage, Rodriguez was in charge of defending him just now. At the beginning of the Wolfsburg counter-attack, Rodriguez was not able to step in to assist the attack in the first place. After getting the ball, Perisic was alone in the opposition backline, and he didn't have many chances.

Although the Wolfsburg players are not afraid of St. Petersburg, they have to admit that Zenit is still very good at home and defending. They play on their own pitch, which is a big bonus in itself, and their players are also quite good: although their defender Witsel is indeed worth a bit of a premium, but his quality has also been proven, at least on the pitch, Perisic has no idea of trying his defensive quality.

So when Perisic got the ball, he didn't have any good chances. He knew that if he forced a breakthrough, he might not have more chances than his opponent. Breaking through with the ball alone, without the support of teammates, it is difficult to play in an away environment, and it is better to give the opportunity to a teammate who is more sure than to come by yourself.

And it is because of this, after getting the ball. He slowed down a bit: after seeing the opposition players rushing towards him and the whole defence deflected, he kicked the ball towards Turan with a long pass.

Long-distance transfer is not what Wolfsburg is best at. Rather than making long passes, they prefer to have one person dribble the ball and seek breakthroughs through small areas with the help of teammates. But this time, Wolfsburg did quite a good job, after all, the quality of their players was already good, and St. Petersburg's defense was not particularly tight, which also made Perisic's passing play quite good.

The ball landed at Turan's feet with ease, and in the face of the ball passing from the other side of the field, he unloaded the ball with an easy kick, and then faced the rushing defenders, he immediately turned around, and then easily flicked the ball, past the defenders who came to defend and then rushed towards the empty space in the backcourt.

The defense of St. Petersburg, in the face of his technology, fell apart at once.

Perisic had a lot to credit for this opportunity, he chose the timing well, and on this side of the pitch, Turan faced a poor defense and basically did not encounter any interceptions. Less than 10 minutes into the game, Wolfsburg had an excellent chance, Gao Shunyao was running with his back to Turan, looking for an opportunity, and Olic was running in front of Turan, looking for cooperation. The help of the two of them also gives Turan the absolute ability to turn this ball into chances.

This was supposed to be the best opportunity, but the nightmare of Wolfsburg began at this time.

When he finally got rid of the defense, Turan slowed down with the ball, and he wanted to see how the ball should be passed. And just as he let his guard down and slowed down, behind him, the defenders had already rushed over.

Maybe Wolfsburg's attack was too smooth, or maybe it was Turan's freehand passing that made the opponent lose face, and the opponent's mentality was obviously out of balance at this time. After being passed by Turan, watching Wolfsburg form a chance on the edge of the box, the St Petersburg defender rushed up behind him to get the ball again. He got close to Turan from behind, but Turan also protected the ball well. Seeing that he couldn't grab the ball, he kicked Turan in the ankle.

With a shrill whistle, Turan fell to the ground. And looking at Turan, who fell to the ground and was holding his leg in pain, Gao Shunyao's brain seemed to stop all of a sudden.

It was a surprise that the opponent chose a rough foul in the game. Compared to losing, this time is a truly scary thing. Seeing the team doctor enter, Gao Shunyao also had an even more bad premonition in his heart, could it be that one of his teammates had just recovered from an injury, and the other was going to lie on the hospital bed again?
