As one of Germany's top champion coaches, Magath is best known for his FM style in addition to his rigorous training. He is extremely unreliable in trading players, and he is also well-known in the Bundesliga, and before the transfer period, he buys people not to look at quality, but only to look at quantity, buys a lot of people, and then finds one or two that can be used, this unique transfer concept is unique in the entire Bundesliga.

He hasn't been doing this for a day or two, Gao Shunyao once thought he was used to it. But this winter, watching how Bayern and Dortmund have strengthened their teams, and looking back at Wolfsburg's transfer and entering Magath's FM time, Gao Shunyao also sighed in his heart: he couldn't understand whether Magath wanted to be a champion or a trader's fun, and at this time, why did he play FM-style trading again.

Before the arrival of this winter, the entire league was originally staring at what kind of transfer transactions Wolfsburg would make. It's no secret that their squad has some holes that need to be filled through transfers. They have prepared a lot of money to strengthen them, and Wolfsburg have played well this season, and the team has also delegated transfer power to Magath.

However, this winter, Magath's transfer is not not targeted, but can be called an FM-style transfer. When winter arrived, he quickly finalized that Wolfsburg would bring in Mousassissoko from Ligue 1 for 2.5 million.

This reinforcement is actually not bad: Mousassissoko is a player, Gao Shunyao has long heard of it, as a French midfielder, his strength can be said to be quite good: Gao Shunyao's impression. It seems that every player named Sissoko has the physicality of a beast, and he is no exception. With a tall body and a monster body, this player has long been famous in European football.

And. Gao Shunyao once heard that he is not only very physical, but also has good skills, he can rush and run with the ball, not only can defend, but also has the ability to attack. He has been a big hit in the past few years and it is said that he will definitely be able to become a star in the future.

As a midfielder, he compares to Wolfsburg's Pollack. Gu Zizhe and other substitutes can be said to be more than a step stronger. When Gao Shunyao heard that he had arrived, he could immediately imagine what kind of midfield advantage his physical fitness could bring to Wolfsburg. Hasebe's strength lies in diligence, Matic in defense, and Shaheen in attack, and the purpose of this reinforcement is undoubtedly for midfield impact.

It's certainly not a bad thing to have such teammates, but only worth 2.5 million. It made his transfer look like it was picked up for nothing. Wolfsburg has taken a big advantage, there is no doubt about it, and there have been a lot of reports in the media outside these days.

He is undoubtedly an enhancement to Wolfsburg, and Gao Shunyao also understands this - in the first half of the season. Because of the multi-front operation, Makoto Hasebe has begun to show some inadequacy problems, while Shaheen and Matic are somewhat functional. Although they are all good players, they have a special substitute player to make up. It's definitely a nice enhancement as well.

The problem, however, is that it is not this enhancement that Wolfsburg urgently needs right now. As the media commented after the deal: this deal is for Wolfsburg. Except that there is no actual enhancement, almost all of them are perfect.

But what Gao Shunyao wants is precisely the actual enhancement.

As a player who has played football for many years, Gao Shunyao knows very well that the media is quite unreliable most of the time. They sometimes like to make outlandish suggestions to the team, and they like to comment on the team's behavior in a bystander manner. Their words are strange and some contradictory, and whoever really listens to them may play himself to death.

But this winter is different from the past, and Gao Shunyao feels that what the media said at this time is still quite desirable. Wolfsburg's problem is very obvious, even the pig's head can see it, and the media's advice is also very correct - Wolfsburg's top priority is not a good midfielder, but a defender who can support the backline, and an excellent wing substitute!

Wolfsburg this season, the side substitute player is a topic that makes Gao Shunyao feel depressed when he thinks about it: after half a season, they can't find a second person on the side except for a non-genuine side Olich. Last season there was an aging Salihamidzic, and this season, they don't even have such a replacement.

In the summer, Magath bought a group of young people, and his original intention was to exchange one or two talents from among them for a working talent. Wolfsburg has a main player, and it is not very difficult to promote one or two substitutes from a group of young people, and his idea was originally good.

However, Magath's transfer policy itself is not so reliable, and no matter how large the number of reinforcements is, it can't stand the low success rate of these people. Although they all claim to be the stars of hope in Europe, and each of them claims to have very good potential, almost none of them really come in handy.

Maybe they are the stars of hope, maybe their starting point is so high that they don't know where to go compared to Gao Shunyao back then, but Gao Shunyao has five seasons of hard work, but they basically didn't play any games before they arrived at the team, and this season Wolfsburg and Bayern have been biting to death, which makes them almost no playing time, and naturally they can't contribute to Wolfsburg in the battle for the top spot.

Bringing in a wide replacement is obviously more important for Wolves. If Perisic or Turan were injured, Wolfsburg wouldn't even be able to find a replacement.

This problem is what Gao Shunyao thinks is important, and if he doesn't solve it, he feels that the team may also be in trouble.

In addition, another important task is naturally to buy a defender: in the first half of the season, Wolfsburg's back line has shown its shortcomings. Ruth's injury made the Wolfsburg game a lot more difficult. Finally, when it came to the winter break, and he knew that he had a problem with his defenders, at this time, it was the most correct thing to add the back line in Gao Shunyao's opinion, however, Magath didn't seem to make any moves.

In this regard, Gao Shunyao was extremely puzzled. The wing players bought a group of waste firewood because they needed substitutes, it was not cost-effective to buy people at a high price, and the proportion of foreigners in Wolfsburg was high, Magath wanted to use local players to promote the substitutions to neutralize it, this Gao Shunyao still understands. But the defender doesn't buy a newcomer, which makes him puzzled. Ruth did recover from injury, but Ruth's original strength was relatively average, and it was not a bad thing to replace him with a good defender, why didn't Magath buy a defender?

When the team's winter break was over and training resumed, he also had questions for Magath.

"Why not buy a defender? Isn't that a simple question? Because in the second half of the season, I want Kjaer and Naldo to continue to play in our main defenders. ”

Magat's answer was very simple, but hearing his words, Gao Shunyao couldn't imagine, "Still kicking like this?" Why? Even if we don't buy people, we should let Ruth play the main team, right? Is it really good to keep them cooperating? ”

Gao Shunyao's problem is actually a problem for many teammates, but Magath has his own views on this issue, "Of course, we can choose to bring in reinforcements in the winter and buy money for a defender, I think Wolfsburg still has it." However, you should understand that no matter how good a defender is, it is impossible to guarantee that every game will be a good match, and if we buy again, we need to re-run, and then the likelihood of our failure will be greatly increased. You know that Bayern's change of striker will cause such trouble, why don't you want to think about it, we change the defender, there will be such a problem? ”

Magath's words left Gao Shunyao speechless. He also has to admit that if he looks at it from this angle, then Magath's approach is understandable. Defenders are more important positions to run in than forwards, and if Wolfsburg changes the central defenders at will in the winter, then it is likely to cause problems in the back line again, and no one can afford to take responsibility for such problems.

'Naldo and Kjaer played well – I know they've conceded a lot of goals, but you have to admit that the talent of the two of them is much higher than Ruth's, and if they're willing to work hard and get used to it, the ceiling is higher than Ruth's. The two of them have been playing together for a month since Ruth's injury, and if you count it, there have been as many as six or seven run-ins. This winter, we will work hard and train for friendly matches, which will be enough for them to cooperate well and become the best pair. ”

Regarding Wolfsburg's current back line, Magath obviously has his own opinion: Naldo's quality is very good, and he can do well in whatever he does. Kjaer's skills are excellent, and it took him a long run-in period to get used to Wolfsburg, so it's a pity to abandon it. Both of them are very talented players, and if they can build up a great combination, it's better than leaving one idle.

They don't lack ability, they just lack running-in. And this kind of thing is not difficult to do - maybe the Premier League team is facing the current situation of Wolfsburg and can only use their regular games to run in the players, but the long winter break in the Bundesliga makes the situation of Wolfsburg different: during the winter break, it is better to arrange a few games and use friendly matches to run in tacit understanding.

It's also good to have a very clear goal in a friendly game.

It is better to expect them to run in than to spend more money on people - the replacement of the main players is not a trivial matter, and random movements are easy to cause unnecessary trouble, Magath knows this very well, at critical moments, he does not want to take risks and strengthen the team, he does not want to rely on transfers.

Compared to Gao Shunyao, his thirst for the championship is not bad at all.

"Actually, compared to our back line, I think you obviously have more important things to care about." After explaining this, facing Gao Shunyao, Magath also raised another question, "You have been at Wolfsburg for two years, and you have been playing better and better this season, you are no longer a small player, but a real star." Stars should be treated like stars, and compared to the team's lineup, should you be more concerned about your own contract renewal? (To be continued.) )
