181 The Dog Walker is here again!
Adaptation from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, jet lag adjustments, plus minor injuries in the recovery phase.
When Ye Yifeng returned to Wolfsburg, it was only four days before the start of the second half of the season.
Dieter Black Gold deliberately gave him a holiday, given that he played in the Asian Cup, it is unreasonable to let him play in the league so soon, and his physical condition does not allow it.
On January 30, the second half of the Bundesliga season officially began.
In the 18th round of the league, Wolfsburg challenged Eintracht Frankfurt as a guest.
Ye Yifeng stayed at home and did not enter the squad for the game, and he will only report to the club tomorrow for training.
After playing a couple's board game with Tang Mo at home for a night, the two opened the world map and listed the places they wanted to go to the most in their lives.
From going to the North Pole to see the aurora, to adventuring in Antarctica, from the Egyptian pyramids to the Great Rift Valley, it seems to be making a life travel plan for the next ten or twenty years.
He watched the results of the game before going to bed.
In the first half, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt exchanged scores, and Eintracht Frankfurt scored first in the second half, until the 88th minute of the game, De Bruyne scored to save the goal, and Wolfsburg only got one point in a 1-1 draw away.
It is likely that Bayern Munich will close the gap again.
However, Bayern Munich's eight-game winning streak was ended in the 18th round of the league, when Schalke 04 stubbornly held Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.
The gap between the two teams remained unchanged, with Wolfsburg continuing to lead by three points.
The German media lamented that Bayern Munich missed a good chance to chase points, but the opportunity to reverse the situation is imminent, and Bayern Munich will take on Wolfsburg in midweek, and the battle for the top spot is in the spotlight.
Ye Yifeng returned to the club to participate in training, and after nearly a week of recuperation, he recovered from his injury and recovered in physical condition.
While changing clothes in the locker room, he silently glanced at Maranda's wardrobe, where the name tag had been removed and the wardrobe was waiting for the arrival of the next owner.
Then he looked at Olich's closet again, which also had no owner.
Olic transferred to Hamburg during the winter break, Hamburg was willing to give him a two-year contract, although Wolfsburg thought it would be better to keep Olich, but given Olich's age, he was likely not to get a better contract after playing this season, so he let Olic go out of love and recouped the transfer fee of 1.5 million euros.
Ye Yifeng's return has boosted the team's morale, and under the impact of Maranda's unexpected death, the team is a little unable to focus on the field.
Yesterday against Eintracht Frankfurt, Wolfsburg's overall form was a bit stretched, and thanks to De Bruyne stepping up at the last moment, otherwise their mentality could have changed further.
Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne did not exchange bad news about Maranda during training.
The deceased is gone.
They need to look forward.
Even if it's definitely not a sudden situation that a championship team would encounter.
But as the core players of the team, the Wolfsburg twin also need to be stronger at this time.
De Bruyne said he reflected on the team's performance in the first half of the winter break and believes that Ye's ability to run and catch open positions could still be strengthened.
You can see the vacancy, and run to the vacancy.
This is the most basic.
The advanced movement in the offensive push is the S-shaped movement with a deceptive nature.
For example, outside the penalty area, the original impact on the left rib of the penalty area, but suddenly change direction on the line of the penalty area to kill the right rib of the penalty area, so that even if the opponent's speed is not exploded, it can also interfere with the prediction and follow-up of the defender.
Ye Yifeng was as good as a stream, and said that he would study and summarize it when he went back.
The two of them are the hope of the team to forge ahead, and if they don't strive for excellence, then it would be hypocritical to hope that the team will become stronger and better.
As the core, they become 1 point stronger, which is more effective than other players who become 2 points stronger!
When the training was over, Ye Yifeng stayed on the training ground as usual, and Benaglio also stayed.
Ye Yifeng stepped on the football and looked at Benaglio outside the penalty area, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
There should have been Maranda standing in front of him.
It seems that the extra practice can only practice shooting.
"I'll be with you."
De Bruyne suddenly appeared behind him, he turned to look, and said softly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, and I'm even more afraid that you will be injured." ”
De Bruyne's confrontation ability has improved in the past half season, but there is still a certain gap between him and Maranda's innate black and hard.
De Bruyne's expression was light.
"You can't always drop back to the back to share the burden for me, and if I'm going to get hurt, that's what I'm going to do."
Ye Yifeng was no longer verbose, he hit De Bruyne with the ball, and suddenly changed slightly to see the opponent grab, fight in the position, and suddenly speed up after knocking the opponent away!
They are teammates, but they are never in the opposite role.
De Bruyne did not be able to stop Ye Yifeng at first, but he also worked hard to improve the quality of his defense.
The two will also switch roles, with De Bruyne attacking and Ye Yifeng defending.
Benaglio was fully focused on trying to save every shot from both men.
......
Wednesday night, Volkswagen Arena.
Ye Yifeng stood in the players' tunnel and already heard the cheers coming from the stadium.
Perhaps this clash will be more eye-catching in the closing stages of the season, but the DFB should not have expected Wolfsburg to be Bayern Munich's fierce rivals when it arranged the fixtures.
Looking at the starting lineup of Bayern Munich not far away, Ye Yifeng has also been looking forward to this confrontation for a long time.
The starters of both teams were in action.
The cheers of the mass arena shook the earth.
With Bayern Munich ahead of Bayern Munich after the start of the second half of the season, Wolfsburg fans are naturally excited.
And this clash will inevitably affect the Bundesliga championship, the pinnacle of the fate of the two teams!
Pep Guardiola and Dieter Blackgold shook hands before the game, and then each stood in the coach's command area, calmly waiting for the game to begin.
"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the 19th round of the Bundesliga, and today we are at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg to give the crowd a live commentary on the Bundesliga top spot!
With 14 wins and four draws, Wolfsburg are currently three points ahead of Bayern Munich.
If Bayern Munich win away from home today, they will claim top spot on goal difference.
In the season opener, Wolfsburg beat Bayern Munich 3-2 at the Allianz Arena with a hat-trick of Ye Yifeng's goal, which is still fresh in memory.
It can be said that today's contest is a revenge battle for Bayern Munich.
It's just a pity for Bayern Munich fans that their team is still plagued by injuries.
VfL Wolfsburg started today with 4312.
Goalkeeper: Benaglio.
Defenders: Vielinha, Naldo, Knohe, Ricardo Rodriguez.
Midfielders: Caligiuri, Gustavo, De Bruyne, Giravogui.
Forwards: Ye Yifeng, Perisic.
Dieter Heijin is obviously very jealous of Bayern Munich, but compared to the lineup in the first round of the meeting, he still strengthened the attack at home today, at least he didn't let Ye Yifeng play a single striker.
Bayern Munich started 433.
Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.
Defenders: Bernart, Dante, Boateng, Alaba.
Midfielders: Xavi Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Rode.
Forwards: Robben, Lewandowski, Thomas Muller.
There were stars such as Gotze, Benatia and Pizarro on the bench, but Lahm, Ribery and Thiago were not included in the squad due to injury.
The biggest headache for Guardiola is that Ribery and Robben have played too few times this season, but even so, Bayern Munich is still the most attacking and defensive team in the Bundesliga.
The next game will start soon, let's look forward to what kind of excitement this battle for the top of the Bundesliga will be! ”
After the referee blew the whistle, the visiting Bayern Munich took the lead, and Ye Yifeng and Perisic swept and counter-attacked in the midfield.
Bayern Munich is still the first to be stable, the defenders interact with the ball, the formation is stretched, and Alonso actively carries out a one-kick pass.
Alonso joined Bayern Munich in last summer's transfer to replace Kroos' role after his departure, and Alonso's experience and solid skills continue to set a new record in the Bundesliga: the number of passes in a single game.
From 100 passes in a single game to 110,120......
The Spanish midfield commander seems to fit seamlessly into Pep Guardiola's tactical system.
When Alonso started to get Bayern Munich up and running from midfield, Bayern Munich's dog-walking style was more powerful than it was in the league opener.
Fifteen minutes passed in the game, Bayern Munich's two shots were a little poor, Wolfsburg had zero shots on goal, Ye Yifeng only succeeded once in the front, and then was cut off under the attack of Rod and Dante.
Bayern Munich's prolonged pass-and-control dog walk meant Wolfsburg could only play a counter-attacking fast attack, but there was no consistency, and it was not clear when the next counter-attack would come.
Ye Yifeng decisively retreated to the midfield to strengthen the defense, and when he launched an attack from the back, he also formed a duo with De Bruyne, and Perisic's role in the front court was to bring the potential threat of anti-offside and contain the Bayern Munich defense.
Bayern Munich is strong and solid, but the creativity of threatening opportunities is a little low, without Ribery and Thiago, the left and middle of the front are obviously less lethal, and the wing impact is more dependent on the frequent forward insertion of Bernat and Alaba.
Robben was heavily targeted by Wolfsburg, and Giravogui and Ricardo Rodriguez never took Robben lightly.
Ye Yifeng found himself in the midfield counter-attacking and seemed to be of little use.
Bayern Munich is not Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund's midfielders, Sven Bender and Kyle's passing and playmaking skills are far from Alonso's, after all, the style roles are different.
Bayern Munich were able to easily play into the attacking threat zone, and Ye Yifeng had some concerns about whether he needed to retreat to the front of the box.
Because of the retracement, then the distance of the forward impact is too long.
Bayern Munich's method of passing and controlling the dog really makes him feel painful!
