Volkswagen Arena.

The atmosphere of the European competition is hot.

The encounter between Wolfsburg and Inter Milan filled the home fans with a reverie.

When the starters of both teams came on, Dieter Blackgold could sense Inter Milan boss Manich's absent-mindedness about European competition.

Inter Milan still has reservations about the use of personnel.

Wolfsburg has narrowed the points gap by Bayern Munich in the league, and there are already media suggesting that Wolfsburg abandon the Europa League and concentrate on the league.

However, the feeling of the black and gold for the team is a different matter, and the two cores of the team, De Bruyne and Ye Yifeng, are looking to go further in European competition.

It's human nature that the more powerful the players, the more they want to prove themselves through more high-profile matches, which is a challenge for them, and their strong self-confidence also makes them firmly believe that they can win the challenge.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini really can't be too enthusiastic about the Europa League, the team's poor record in the league, his return to Meazza last November to put out the fire, Inter Milan can't shake Juventus' dominance in the league, and the top-three has become a more realistic goal for the Milan duo, but even the goal of not winning the title is also out of reach.

In the Europa League, he will try to have a good performance in the league so that he can have room to play and start again next season.

The players on the pitch have another idea, everyone knows that the league is out of play, and the Europa League is a stage that can more or less make them shine!

When the starters of the two teams shook hands, the Wolfsburg crowd could clearly feel the arrogance of the Inter Milan players.

Wolfsburg started today with 4312.

Goalkeeper: Benaglio.

Defenders: Vielinha, Naldo, Knohe, Ricardo Rodriguez.

Midfielders: Alexander-Arnold, Gustavo, De Bruyne, Gilavogui.

Forwards: Dost, Ye Yifeng.

Playing European matches is cautious first, so Black and Gold still strengthened their defense and confrontation in the midfield.

Inter Milan started 433.

Goalkeeper: Carrizo.

Defenders: D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Juan Jesús, Thornton.

Midfielders: Medel, Guarin, Hernanes.

Forwards: Shaqiri, Icardi, Palacio.

Players such as the team's main goalkeeper Handanovic and midfielder Mateo Kovacic were all on the bench today.

With the whistle of the game, the game officially began.

Wolfsburg are without Caligiuri and Perisic, and have relied on two strikers and Kevin De Bruyne in attack, plus the rest of the midfielders to get in from time to time and full-backs to assist.

Now they themselves can flexibly switch between this conservative style of play and aggressive style of play, and they have more actual combat, and they are familiar with the operation.

In the 3rd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng received a pass from Giravogui on the left side of the frontfield, and the three midfielders of Inter Milan were all defensive types.

Although it may not be able to play the chain defense signature of the Serie A team at its peak, it is absolutely fine to compress the space and the fundamentals of joint defense.

Medel quickly hit his side to force and intercept, Ye Yifeng protected the ball and turned to complete the dodge, today he feels very good whether he observes the situation or the competitive state.

Take a step towards the middle of the ball to find the passing route and play the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

After Dost acted as a fulcrum to receive the ball in the middle of the game, there was not much pressure behind him, but Guarin's return made it necessary for him to play the ball quickly.

Seeing Ye Yifeng running inward, he hurriedly passed the ball short.

Ye Yifeng did not get rid of Medel, and under the pressure of the opponent's confrontation, he took the ball first and then stopped to protect the ball to block Medel behind him, and defender Ranocchia saw the opportunity to step forward to press.

Ye Yifeng delicately flicked the ball behind Ranocchia at this time, and then suddenly stepped forward into the penalty area.

He had already passed by Ranocchia and thought the breakthrough was a success, but as soon as he entered the penalty area, he saw full-back D'Ambrosio return to the position to control the ball and pass back to the goalkeeper.

Serie A teams do have a set of defensive adjustments, with defenders grabbing and fullbacks filling in the position, which will not make a big gap in the penalty area.

This linkage reminded Ye of the holistic defensive philosophy he had learned under Ranieri.

Inter Milan organized an offensive, the three midfielders advanced with simple and fast passes, and Ye Yifeng took the initiative to retreat to participate in the defense.

When Inter Milan's midfielders were unable to play a delicate pass to keep going, they opted to let the striker create his own chances.

Shaqiri started quickly after receiving on the right side of the front, and he had a strong posture in the advancement of the ball, and in the face of Ricardo Rodriguez's fake break through the outside line, he did have the shadow of the "Swiss Messi" in the past.

His cross was of average quality, with Naldo clearing the ball first, before Wolfsburg switched from defence to attack.

When De Bruyne was intercepted by Hernanes in the centre circle, he crossed the ball diagonally behind him.

Hernanes looked back and was a little surprised to see Ye Yifeng answering nearby, as if for a striker, this distance was a little close.

Guarin immediately stepped forward to press, and Ye Yifeng walked the ball to the right side like a leisurely stroll.

Alexander-Arnold stepped forward to play a short pass.

Kevin De Bruyne stepped forward and Wolfsburg's triangle pass in midfield was easily completed.

With Ye Yifeng and De Bruyne inside, even if the other players in the midfield are sappers and a piece of wood, they can play a role in the attack.

Because they don't pass the ball to their teammates, they will give their teammates enough time to watch and receive space, and through their own running, their teammates can find the passing line at a glance to send the pass.

Since Ye Yifeng started the "free mode", Wolfsburg has never encountered difficulties in midfield organization.

He and De Bruyne are now close to each other.

When the two pushed forward together to attack the Inter defence, Hernanes and Guarin chased back, and Medel blocked the middle of the penalty area, aiming to control Ye Yifeng.

De Bruyne stopped the ball to the left at the moment when Guarin returned to him, Hernanes was about to stretch his leg, and De Bruyne played the ball.

The football seemed to be passed to Ye Yifeng, but Ye Yifeng leaked the ball in the diagonal run.

Medel almost touched the football, but he hesitated a little after Ye Yifeng missed the ball.

The missed ball rolled in front of Dost, and he struck the ball wide.

Jesus didn't expect that Dost's ball for Ye Yifeng and Ye Yifeng's running start were just right.

Ye Yifeng took the ball and hit the right rib of the penalty area.

David Thornton defended in the penalty area and wanted to stretch his leg to destroy the ball, but Ye Yifeng grabbed the position to block Thornton first.

Thornton didn't expect Ye Yifeng not to control the ball, but to confront, he staggered a few steps to the side with some unstable center of gravity, and could only watch Ye Yifeng get up and hit the goal!

The ball flew to a remote corner in the middle of the goal, and goalkeeper Carriso moved to save the ball in a step-by-step save.

Ye Yifeng exhaled a long breath and turned around to give Dost a thumbs up.

The ball just made is really beautiful.

Mancini frowned slightly on the sidelines.

Playing the Europa League is a Buddhist mentality, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't matter if you win or lose.

Expect some trouble to get past Wolfsburg, but it shouldn't be so easy to penetrate!

The point is that Wolfsburg did not attack in a big way.

Excluding Alexander-Arnold's strategy, it took them three men to break down Inter's defence and form a shot!

This does not bode well.

De Bruyne has been famous for a long time, and Ye Yifeng belongs to the rising star.

The Wolfsburg twin stars are on the radar of major European giants, but unfortunately Inter Milan is one of the "poor people can't afford it".

Therefore, there is no focus on tracking.

Who in the working class will look at the new product launch of Lari?

Wolfsburg fans at the Volkswagen Arena took it all for granted.

If Inter Milan did not adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics, then Wolfsburg would definitely be able to create a lot of chances in the regular confrontation, with De Bruyne and Ye Yifeng teaming up, even if only one more Dost is needed to act as a fulcrum.

Dost is a fixed role, De Bruyne has the ability to cut back and score in addition to organizing the offensive, and Ye Yifeng is an all-round frontcourt organizer from the midfield!

In the 8th minute of the game, Vielenia and Arnold teamed up to complete the break against the pigtailed coach Palacio, and the Wolfsburg attack was launched again.

Ye Yifeng received the pass from Giravogui on the left side of the front, he pushed forward along the side, the speed was not fast, Medel quickly assisted in the defense of the side, he sank his shoulders and pretended to speed up on the left front side, Medel immediately blocked his forward line, just quickened his pace but found that Ye Yifeng dialed the ball and cut horizontally to the middle.

Medel was passed, and when he went back to chase Ye Yifeng, the latter passed the ball straight ahead.

Dost took the initiative to run to the left in front of the penalty area, and after stopping the ball, he was forced from behind Ranocchia, who took a step back after taking a confrontation on the spot.

Guarin quickly rushed towards him, and just then, Dost struck the ball wide of the right in front of the box.

Ye Yifeng killed.

Ye Yifeng really has a different feeling about the Italian defense.

Even if his impact becomes a threat, the defender will not take the initiative to grab it!

Jesús would rather be cautious than rush to the top of the game.

Ye Yifeng knew what the other party was waiting for.

Hernanes' return support!

Just when Hernanes and Jesús were about to form a pinch attack on Ye Yifeng, Ye Yifeng suddenly changed direction to protect the ball on the spot.

Ever since he had the blessing of Beckenbauer, he had learned a new trick.

You don't have to keep the ball and rush towards the opponent's goal.

Sometimes slowing down, stopping, and dodging the opponent's pressing with a simple way of protecting the ball can lead to better options.

This time, he dodged Hernanes' return press and gently diagonally back into the middle.

De Bruyne shoots the ball diagonally and blasts it out!

No one interfered with him.

Goalkeeper Carrizo was at a loss, and in the blink of an eye, the ball flew over the crossbar.

Almost a goal!

De Bruyne glanced at Ye Yifeng, and the two seemed to be able to read each other's eyes.

Inter Milan, it doesn't seem to be very good.

The generals of the Inter Milan defense looked at Ye Yifeng and thought a lot.

Ye Yifeng seems to be constantly switching styles, without absolutely amazing speed, but at critical moments, he always controls the ball in situ like a classical front waist to dodge and get rid of it, but he does not stick to the ball for a long time.

Crucially, he showed his ability as a striker from the start, finishing a threatening shot from inside the box.

They don't seem to have anything to do with Ye Yifeng, unless...... Squeeze the space and defend the counterattack!
