166 Improved, but still defeated!

VfL Wolfsburg were beaten by Bayern Munich in the 12th round of the league to close the gap to five points.

Bayern Munich also scored four goals in this round, but kept a clean sheet against Hoffenheim.

Wolfsburg summed up the experience of the game, and Dieter Heijin on the one hand to run in the left side of the attack, on the other hand, to strengthen the tactical requirements of Dost.

No matter which aspect it is, Ye Yifeng is the core.

Although Wolfsburg is not as powerful as Monaco on paper, Wolfsburg is richer than Monaco in terms of playing style.

In Ligue 1, as long as the score is ahead, Monaco will control the tempo and take the counter-attacking opportunities.

In many games, there is a counterattack in the first 70 minutes, and if there is no counterattack, wait patiently for the opportunity, and then fight again after 70 minutes!

Wolfsburg is obviously more proactive and more demanding in attacking coordination, even if the score is ahead, they will not immediately control the tempo and counterattack.

It's not that they're not pragmatic, they can only say they're not utilitarian.

After all, Wolfsburg's defense line can hardly be said to be able to absolutely block the opponent's Jedi counterattack.

The team's advantage is also in the front court, and it is natural to make a fuss in the attack.

The league is over, and the fifth round of the Europa League group stage starts in midweek.

VfL Wolfsburg host Everton!

In the first round of the meeting, Wolfsburg suffered a heavy defeat away, and they were holding back a fire in their hearts.

Whoever wins this round of Everton and Wolfsburg will advance to the last 32 of the Europa League.

With only minor rotations and back-to-back Olic up front, Bendtner can't be trusted, and if he could pose a threat to the Premier League defence, he wouldn't have moved from Arsenal to Wolfsburg.

When Ye Yifeng made his debut at the Volkswagen Arena, he was already relieved of the red card in the first round.

Concentrate on the game in front of you.

There are no personal emotions, just trying to have a better performance.

Wolfsburg started 4312.

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Defenders: Vielinia, Naldo, Knoch, Schaefer.

Midfielders: De Bruyne, Gustavo, Maranda, Perisic.

Forwards: Olich, Ye Yifeng.

Dieter Black and Gold are still more afraid of the confrontation of Premier League teams, so they put on two strong midfielders today.

Everton only needed a draw to secure a place in the last 32, with Roberto Martinez also making small rotations in the squad.

Everton started 433.

Goalkeeper: Howard.

Defenders: Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Luke Gabert.

Midfielders: Besic, McGiddy, McCarthy.

Forwards: Milaras, Lukaku, Eto'o.

Dieter Black doesn't really want the team to overspend in the Europa League, but because of the heavy defeat to Everton in the first round, this battle is a battle that the players want to fight for revenge!

If you lose, it will definitely have a negative effect, but if you win, it will have a positive boost to the team's morale and momentum.

For a team to be strong, mature and resilient, there is no doubt that it needs to be positive about the challenge.

If you don't dare to take the risk of failure, then there is no need for this team to talk about growth and the future, because they don't even have the courage.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Perhaps Everton's 5-0 thrashing of Wolfsburg at home in the first round of the meeting gave them a huge psychological advantage, and they quickly got into the groove when they had a lot of quality in their own right.

Fast-paced impact, focusing on physical confrontation to grab local advantages, but the offense is relatively poor in coordination when it hits the front line.

Everton's left and right wings are missing the two engines of Baines and Coleman, and the quality of the attack has naturally declined significantly.

However, it is not too bad to rely on the individual ability of the players.

Every now and then, it can also create a threat.

Wolfsburg also played on the wing, De Bruyne mainly played in the right half of the front today, and Ye Yifeng was in the left half.

Dieter-Blackgold wanted to see if splitting the two cores would make the threat more comprehensive and have the effect of tearing apart the opponent's defense and dispersing the forces.

It turned out that such a fight seemed to be a bit of a suspicion of self-defeating martial arts.

De Bruyne can have more contact with Olich, but the cooperation with Ye Yifeng is more casual.

When Ye Yifeng was caught in the front court when he controlled the ball and fell into a pinch, his interaction with Perisic was basically a path along the side to the black, either a cross or a long shot, and there was too little interaction with other teammates.

The impact is sufficient, but it lacks a sense of rhythm and intelligent scheduling.

After two months of fighting, Ye Yifeng is much more mature than when he met in the first round.

The confrontation is confrontational, not the slightest pestle.

Attention is always on the situation of the game and adapting to the situation.

He can also have an advantage in the confrontation, with Besic being the main defender at the back today, and it will be tricky to face Jagielka and Distin in the box.

It's not an opponent in the confrontation, and there is basically no chance to scramble for a header unless you step on the point accurately.

Everton relied on the experience and ability of the elderly Eto'o and the young Romelu Lukaku to create a killing chance in front of Wolfsburg, but there were no great chances, and the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

Wolfsburg's Ye Yifeng shot twice from the penalty area, and goalkeeper Howard made two wonderful saves in succession to clear the danger.

The Everton defence is under pressure and pays more attention to Ye Yifeng's defense.

So Wolfsburg began to give Olrich frequent opportunities.

In the 31st minute of the game, Olic directly knocked the ball and turned to run into the penalty area when he received De Bruyne's pass in front of the penalty area, but he was kicked to the ground by McCarthy's outstretched leg in the defense as soon as he turned around.

The referee blows for a foul on McCarthy.

Olich has an ankle injury!

Dieter-Black Gold's face was ugly.

The 35-year-old Olich is injured, and he doesn't know what his state will become when he returns from injury.

The parts are aging, and at this age, even if it is only a minor injury, it is probably equivalent to a major overhaul when you were young.

Bendtner came off the bench to replace the injured Olich.

Olich is old and flexible, Benittner, positive is always a gust of wind, and the momentum is gone.

The Wolfsburg offense has reorganized and adjusted its thinking, and there will be some changes in the style of play.

As a result, the threat of attack temporarily decreased, and Everton took advantage of the situation to launch an onslaught.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Mirallas attacked on the right side and cooperated with McGiddy to penetrate Schaefer's defense zone and sent a close cross to the ground in the right rib of the penalty area.

Lukaku blocked Knoch in the run, and his physical innate strength was obvious, and he grabbed the ball in place and fired a volley into the Wolfsburg goal!

Everton lead home team Wolfsburg 1-0 away.

The home fans in the stands couldn't hide their frustration.

Obviously, it looks like they are still equal, but the situation changed after Wolfsburg's passive substitution.

At half-time, Dieter Blackgold reworked his attacking tactics.

De Bruyne goes back to the middle, and Wolfsburg forces the left!

At the start of the second half, Wolfsburg quickly picked up the tempo of the game, but Everton deliberately slowed down and strengthened their defence.

Roberto Martinez has the win, so there is no need to spend too much with Wolfsburg.

When Perisic threatened to cut inside, the pressure on the Everton defence increased dramatically, but it wasn't enough to be lethal.

In the 58th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng retreated to open up the distance between himself and Becic under the interference of Perisic's internal cut, and then sent the ball short to De Bruyne.

Perisic and Bendtner were targeted in the box.

However, Ye Yifeng immediately ran to the middle of the penalty area after the ball.

De Bruyne connected the buckle and grazed McCarthy before sending a through ball.

Ye Yifeng ran to control the ball in the middle and stopped sharply to shoot, and Distin immediately stepped forward to block it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yifeng faked his shot!

Then pluck the ball sideways, take a step, shake it over, and then shoot angrily!

The soccer ball flies straight to the near corner of the goal!

American goalkeeper Howard made a flying save and although he touched the football, the ball changed slightly backwards and flew into the goal!

Ye Yifeng's goal ignited the passion of the public arena.

The Wolfsburg fans in the stands shouted with excitement, and those holding up slogans in support of him were even more excited.

VfL Wolfsburg 1:1 Everton!

Robert Martinez frowned slightly, and the situation seemed to be getting a little uncomfortable for him again.

But it's not yet painful.

As long as they can finally get out of the public arena, then Everton will not come in vain, and the effort will be rewarded.

Everton, who won 2 and drew 2 in the first four group stages of the Europa League, are still unbeaten.

Martinez gestured to the disciples on the field, strengthened the defense, and played a good fast attack!

Everton then moved more and more in confrontation and defence.

Originally, it was a little polite to Wolfsburg when he came to the away game, after all, he was not playing at home in the first round, and at the same time, the situation was not like the group stage had just started and needed to grab points.

But since Wolfsburg didn't kill without a neck, he actually fought back!

Then there's no need to be polite.

Within 10 minutes, Becic, McCarthy, and Hibbert received yellow cards for excessive foul action one after another.

Ye Yifeng was seriously violated twice, and after falling to the ground, he endured the pain and got up quickly.

Everton can accept a draw, Wolfsburg can't!

They continued to intensify their attack after 70 minutes of the game.

Everton continued to foul Wolfsburg's dangerous attack and attacking rhythm.

Kevin De Bruyne was also not easy, as a foul on him by McGiddy in the 73rd minute necessitated the need for a team doctor.

After the pain at the impact site was relieved, De Bruyne continued to fight.

As a result, after Wolfsburg's wave of set-piece attacks were cleared by Jagielka's header, Everton's fast attack suddenly threatened!

Samuel Eto'o slid the ball down the flank and advanced the attack quickly, slotting Lukaku into the dangerous zone of attack before slotting into the attacking danger zone.

Lukaku, who blocked Naldo, suddenly stopped and retreated on the spot, Gustavo and Naldo rushed in front of him again, and just as the two were about to grab again, Lukaku suddenly sent a diagonal pass on the spot.

Mirallas followed up and cut inside and slotted into the box to form a one-on-one.

A pinpoint shot into the far corner of the net was impossible for the goalkeeper to save unless it was a world-class save.

Benaglio made a futile save.

Everton lead again!

Robert Martinez picked up a bottle of water on the ground and unscrewed the cap to take a sip before putting the water back in.

It seems that Everton's fight against Wolfsburg is as easy as drinking saliva.

Martinez started making substitutions.

The equaliser looked like a false alarm.

Wolfsburg deserves praise for improving over the first round in his eyes.

But it's still a defeat!
