Seeing Lewandowski, who was still a little shy and came over to congratulate him, Gao Jun suddenly said in his heart, "The tacit understanding is not formed so quickly, and it is unrealistic to expect him to completely replace the role of Xulin." But Lewandowski's ability to grasp opportunities is better than that of Guilin, maybe the tactics are simpler, but the effect will be better, anyway, as long as I can help the team win, whoever scores will be the same, not to mention that I don't have to be unable to score."
Gao Jun used the time before the kick-off in the center circle to tell everyone his thoughts, and they were quickly accepted by everyone, so Magath on the sidelines soon found that the disciples on the field actually played the ancient tactic of flying with both wings and outflanking in the middle
"That's right, Lewandowski has rarely had the opportunity to cooperate with Gao Jun before, maybe this simple style of play will be more effective, I should have thought of this a long time ago. Speaking of which, although there are still many deficiencies, Gao Jun does have the potential to become a world-class coach! Although Magath has always ruled the army with an iron fist, he does not completely denie the players on the field room to play freely, not to mention that Gao Jun is still a "special one" in the Dresden Dynamo team, so Magath was not angry because Gao Jun adjusted his tactics without authorization, but was pleased with Gao Jun's excellent overall view.
After adjusting the tactics, the attacking tempo of the Dresden Dynamo team suddenly increased, which made it difficult for Wolfsburg to adapt for a while, and for the young Lewandowski, Wolfsburg was also obviously a little underguarded, and the result was about to enter stoppage time in the first half. The Dynamo Dresden team equalized the score with a header from Lewandowski Rong Hao's low cross, and the few Dresden Expedition fans in the stands immediately gave him a warm applause, celebrating the youngster's first goal in the team's official game, and Magath on the sidelines also smiled and clapped his hands, secretly thinking about whether to give him more opportunities in future games
In the three minutes of stoppage time. The game became more and more intense, but neither side could change the score, and the first half could only end with a draw. However, the Dynamo Dresden team who scored two goals in a row were demoralized and looked like victory was in sight, and they continued to attack after the start of the second half, and even pressed Wolfsburg through the half-time with a comeback
In the 53rd minute, Hulk, a Brazilian who has been excellent recently, forced a breakthrough of the Wolfsburg team's bag defense on the right side, then turned around and passed the ball with his good left foot to Gao Jun, who was facing away from the goal outside the small penalty area at this time, and a Wolfsburg defender behind him immediately posted it, but Gao Jun unexpectedly used a "Marseille maneuver" at this time. Not only did he avoid his close interference, but he also managed to turn to face the goal. Seeing that the situation was not good, the goalkeeper of the Wolfsburg team immediately yelled and pounced, but his movements were as fast as Gao Jun's feet, only to see Gao Jun fall to the ground and shovel at the first time, and send the ball into the net from the opponent's ribs, 3:2! The Dynamo Dresden team achieved an incredible comeback after being two goals down at one point!
After seeing this wonderful and crucial goal, the visiting Dresden fans couldn't help but burst into tears, and they unconsciously recalled the classic example of last year's Bundesliga when the high army saved the team again and again. And even the Wolfsburg people. There were also many people who applauded Gao Jun's wonderful performance, while those home fans who were more concerned about the result of the game were disappointed. A few of them have even started to leave early. At this time, in the eyes of most fans, the Dresden Dynamo team has already won, and even thinks that the morale of the Dresden people can continue to expand the score advantage
However, less than five minutes after Gao's brilliant goal, Dresden right-back Dexter, who has always been a problem with fitness. Langen fell to the ground with cramps due to the depletion of his body. Unable to hold on to the game any longer, Magath had to send an 18-year-old German right-back to replace him due to the limitation of the number of non-European players on the pitch, which was undoubtedly a significant weakening of the Dynamo Dresden line-up.
And that's just the beginning, and the winger Reus is working hard. But he is still not yet 18 years old, and because of his physical disadvantage, he has more physical exertion than others in the physical confrontation with the senior players of the Wolfsburg team, and after more than 60 minutes of fighting, he can no longer hold on. To make matters worse, at this time, the Dynamo Dresden team had no substitutions available, and Reuss could only hold on to the field even if he was so tired that he couldn't even stand on his feet
Therefore, when the game reached the 60th minute, the Dresden Dynamo team was equivalent to one less player on the field, and among the players who could play was an absolute rookie, and the strength inevitably declined significantly. The coach of the Wolfsburg team on the sidelines quickly realized this, and immediately asked his disciples on the field to fight back with all their might, and strive to equalize or even overtake
Due to the strict problem of the lineup on the field, the once unstoppable Dresden Dynamo team had to retreat on all fronts, and the shape on the field quickly reversed, and the Dresden fans in the stands of the away team couldn't help but worry, "The consumption of playing two away games in three days is too great, and the boys have attacked so fiercely before"
"Alas, this damn non-European personnel limit, if you can play this game with all the main force, how can it become like this?" , A fan complained like this, and he couldn't say any more, because he also knew that the restrictions of the German Football Association were very loose, and the more important Bundesliga did not have any restrictions on non-European players, just a German Cup with restrictions, and it really couldn't ask for more.
In the end, the fan could only say, "If we want to do well in the cup, we have to localize, and it is definitely not possible to rely too much on non-European players." ”
But his words immediately attracted objections from others, "If it weren't for a non-European player like Gao, Dynamo Dresden would have been playing in the regional league this season, a good local player?" Do you think we don't want it? The question is how many are willing to come to our team? How high can we give the transfer fee and salary? Be content! I'm very satisfied with being able to play well in the Bundesliga, and in the cup, it's best to be able to move on, and it's acceptable to be eliminated."
As time went on, the fitness of the rest of the Dynamo Dresden squad began to suffer, and the two forwards, Gao Jun and Lewandowski, simply retreated to assist the defence after finding that they could not provide support from midfield, making it more difficult for Wolfsburg's attack to achieve tangible results.
Seeing that the time of the game has entered injury time, even many home fans in the stands have felt desperate, but Lewandowski, who returned to the defense, subconsciously reached out and pulled the jersey of a certain Wolfsburg player in the defense because of his lack of experience, and the guy immediately fell in the penalty area in an exaggerated manner
Under the pressure of the home fans, the referee quickly pointed to the penalty spot, Lewandowski desperately pleaded, but only attracted a senseless yellow card for himself, if it wasn't for Gao Jun to pull him in time, this outstanding young man today will be punished
While his team-mates and fans alike were expecting to look at Neuer, he was not able to pull off a miracle this time around, as Wolfsburg struggled to equalise with just a few minutes remaining
The equaliser should have been a good time to strike while the iron is hot and strengthen the attack, but because Wolfsburg also played a Bundesliga game away three days ago, they are not very physical (of course, because this game is at home, there are not as many non-European players in the team, and the situation is slightly better than that of the Dynamo Dresden team). After attacking continuously for so long, it has been consumed, and after the equalizer, as soon as the breath is released, it is no longer able to maintain the previous fierce offensive
For the same reason, Wolfsburg failed to score again in extra time, but so did the more physical Dynamo Dresden, so the two teams had to go into a brutal penalty shoot-out with the same unwillingness
"Gao Jun first, Mark second, Lewandowski third, Neuer fourth, Hulk fifth", Magath announced the penalty order to surprise the players, the most sure of the penalty shooters are in the first five rounds, so if the first five rounds are not decided, this penalty shootout will not be lost?
"We are too light this time, we have not practiced penalties before the game, and we have not understood the habits of the opponent's jersey penalty and pounce, and now everyone's physical strength is very little, and there are even completely overdrawn people like Royce, except for us, if others come to penalty, they really have little confidence, so the vest intends to divide the winners and losers in the first five rounds, right? In this case, the key is to look at Xiaoxin's table", Gao Jun was the first to understand the head coach's thoughts, and unconsciously looked at Neuer, who suddenly understood, although he felt the pressure on his body instantly increased, but he still confidently told his teammates, "Don't worry, look at my good, solve the battle in the first five rounds!" ”
Neuer did not disappoint the manager, teammates and fans, although the young Lewandowski kicked the penalty away because of too much physical consumption and psychological tension, but Neuer bravely saved two penalties from the opponent, helping Dresden finally eliminate Wolfsburg on penalties 7:6 and advance to the semi-finals of the German Cup!
