Step by Step to Win
Chapter 343: Opportunity Knocks
Before the start of the season, Wolfsburg has always believed that his two biggest enemies this season, one is Bayern, the other is Dortmund. A Bundesliga hegemon, a champion last year, in the eyes of Wolfsburg, these two teams can be said to be the most powerful enemy of Wolfsburg.
But after half a season of hard work, Wolfsburg was delighted to find that Dortmund obviously had no intention of competing for the league championship this year. They paid more attention to their Champions League results and set their sights on higher trophies. This practice made Wolfsburg lose one of its strongest competitors, which is a good thing.
After the second victory over Bayern, the players of Wolfsburg also breathed a sigh of relief. The only enemy was double-killed by his own season, which is definitely the most pleasant thing. After this battle, Wolfsburg has a great advantage in momentum. During the long-distance race of the season, they can also raise their heads and walk proudly.
It's just that at the same time, Wolfsburg also needs to deal with some other things. For example, during this period of time, Wolfsburg has suffered a lot of accusations because of his poor Champions League results, and the players of Wolfsburg are also looking forward to finding a chance to stand up.
After all, the players of Wolfsburg still know that they rely on it in their hearts-civil war insiders, foreign war outsiders, it is indeed not worthy of pride. Although their goal has always been determined, there is no more pursuit other than the league championship, but in the Champions League they also hope that they will not be too embarrassed-Dortmund's tenacity mentality last year can be learned. But the foreign war layman shouldn’t learn well.
In any case, the other three Bundesliga teams are all unbeaten away, and Wolfsburg is now behind them. Even if Wolfsburg is not seeking a Champions League title, it is better to win Porto in this round.
Of course, after this round of victory, will you continue to compete for the top four? The opinion of Wolfsburg on this is different. Some people think that it is better to compete if you have the ability. Others think that the Champions League is not easy to play, and the semi-finals are not so easy to enter. Distractions may not be thankful in the end. The past accounted by the quarterfinals is fine. There is no need to waste energy and affect the league-these two statements. There are supporters in the team, and now they have not been able to agree, and they have no plans to fight again. After all, this round is not over yet. Porto is not an underdog, thinking about the next round early on is ridiculous.
Compared to the distance, it is better to look at the game in front of you.
After defeating Bayern, the next league opponent of Wolfsburg is Bremen. This opponent is not too weak in the league, but during these days the morale of Wolfsburg is on the rise, facing Bremen, they played in excellent form.
In the game, Mandzukic, who played a supporting role in the last game, scored the first goal of Wolfsburg within five minutes of the opening. Rodriguez's left foot directly hit the ball and crossed the layers of defense. Makes Mandzukic directly started his own siege.
Although they didn't score a goal against Bayern, whoever underestimated Mandzukic was an extremely wrong idea. The two strikers of Wolfsburg are the ones who are in good condition, and they are more brilliant. In the last game, Gao Shunyao was in the limelight. This time, Mandzukic became the mainstay. Facing Bremen, Mandzukic was clearly in good condition. After the header, Mandzukic quickly found another opportunity. After a smash from the front of the penalty area and avoiding a steal, he took another shot and scored twice.
And immediately. Turan also added the icing on the cake and scored a goal. This time, after he moved around with the ball on the edge of the penalty area. A long shot hit the gate when the opponent thought he was going to pass, once again adding a goal to Wolfsburg.
With a 3-0 result, Wolfsburg won the game. In addition to looking at points, the Bundesliga also depends on goal difference, and three goal difference in a game is enough to make Wolfsburg very happy. In this race, they also hope to add some advantages and continue to put pressure on Bayern.
League goals are one aspect of pressure, and another aspect of pressure comes from the cup. After this round of the league, the German Cup has come again. This is also a great opportunity to consume Bayern.
Wolfsburg reached the quarter-finals of the German Cup in the Cup and has not been eliminated yet. And it’s very gratifying. Among the eight remaining teams, Wolfsburg can be said to be a very lucky one, because their opponents in this round can be said to be the weakest among all the quarter-finals. One.
Wolfsburg was lucky enough to draw Offenbach’s kicker, the weakest team. This gives people reason to believe that Wolfsburg is definitely lucky this time. Although everyone is also in a double game in a week, the opponents of Wolfsburg are not even the German second team, but only a German third team. Such a two-line battle is basically no loss to Wolfsburg.
Of course, even so, Wolfsburg dare not care, after all, although the opponent's ability is average, but the luck is amazing-Offenbach kicker can be regarded as the biggest lucky player in German football this year. This is not a strong C-level team. The team, even in the Bundesliga, is just a mid-range team.
However, they can be said to be lucky in the German Cup this year. In the first game, they faced the newly promoted Fürth, who had no intention of fighting in two lines. They won a victory. Then, they met again. The strength is not outstanding. German second team Berlin United, once again promoted. In the third round, they unexpectedly met another newly promoted team, Dusseldorf, and met these opponents consecutively, making them all the way to the quarterfinals of the German Cup.
It is not difficult for a team to draw the underdogs in the lottery, but it is difficult to draw the underdogs every time. Looking at the luck of Offenbach along the way, the players of Wolfsburg also teased each other privately. If their luck in the draw is given to Wolfsburg, no one needs to be afraid of Wolfsburg. They dare to enter the Champions League final.
Of course, the joke is a joke, Wolfsburg still understands that the game cannot be ignored. Since the opponent can get to this point, it shows that they still have a certain strength. Although Offenbach’s opponents were either the Bundesliga second or the newly promoted Bundesliga, these teams are not very strong in the eyes of Wolfsburg, but they have been able to defeat these teams repeatedly, they also have some advantages. They are better off.
If you lose to such an opponent in a cup match, you won’t be able to erase the shame even if you win the league championship, and you must be laughed at for a long time.
Therefore, this game Wolfsburg still sent a semi-main lineup to play. Forward Gao Shunyao and Mandzukic both got a rest. Olic once again acted as a single forward to prop up the lineup, and the new substitute Moussa in the midfield also got a chance to play, even at the back line. There have been some rotations. However, the recent outstanding performance of Shaheen, as well as the more important players such as Nardo on the back line, Wolfsburg still retained, not really all of them are used as substitutes.
However, it is clear that Wolfsburg was a little worried about this game. Although the opponent's luck is very strong, the real strength is really not very good. Although they can defeat the newly promoted Bundesliga and Bundesliga, they are still not opponents when they encounter a team at the level of Wolfsburg. Less than 20 minutes after the start of the game, the impact of Wolfsburg had already caused the opponent's defense to retreat. In front of a truly powerful opponent, playing by luck is not a long-term solution after all. Offenbach may have had great luck in the first few rounds, but this round obviously gave their luck to Wolfsburg.
The game went on very smoothly, the opponent's loss to Wolf Castle's intrepidity also allowed Wolf Castle to immediately display its own level. Seeing the opponent's losing streak, Olic seized the opportunity to strike head-on. Just after 20 minutes, he knocked on Offenbach's door with a shot after getting rid of it. Then, Moussa repeatedly tried long shots on the field. Although he did not score a goal himself, his long shot made Olic a successful refill and another goal.
In this game, relying on the efforts of veteran Olic, Wolfsburg won a crucial victory. They also told people that this is not a story of a dark horse against the sky. On the contrary, Offenbach’s kicker is the fat meat delivered to Wolfsburg at this time to help Wolfsburg get a rest.
On the other hand, Bayern at this time is simply depressed home. In the league, they were overtaken by Wolfsburg. They had not yet finished their second match with Arsenal in the Champions League. However, in the cup, they drew the most troublesome opponent Dortmund. The weekly double match of Wolfsburg regards the league as a business and the cup as a leisure game. However, Bayern and Dortmund had a real fight against Dortmund in the cup.
After all, they are Bayern Munich, and they want to win the championship in the third line. That is their real pursuit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Moreover, the opponent they met is Dortmund, and the grievances between the two teams were not in the first place. Allow Bayern to easily admit defeat.
Bayern will not lose its courage even if it is embarrassed. But Dortmund did not play well in the league this season. They are already in a semi-giving state. Compared to working hard in the league, they are more willing to smash Bayern in the Cup. And this result makes Bayern's multi-line combat more difficult.
In this game, Dortmund simply dragged Bayern into overtime. The two sides did not decide the outcome within 90 minutes, and it was not until overtime that Bayern narrowly defeated Dortmund with a goal from Robben. Unlike the easy and free play of Wolfsburg, Bayern continued to wear off their vitality in this game. How long they can continue playing like this is even more elusive.
Compared with weak opponents, bad luck for competitors is the real luck.
But anyway, Bayern eventually won. And in Bayern’s view, although they consume a lot of their own, in the league, Wolfsburg may not be much better than them. In the middle of the next week, it will be the Champions League soon, and before that game, Wolfsburg still needs to play against Sand. Erke played a game-if Wolfsburg really doesn't want to be the laughingstock of the Champions League in the Bundesliga, then they must win both games in the next week-for Wolfsburg, the real test has just begun.
