Step by Step to Win

Chapter 410: Beginning of the season

When playing against a strong team, a tortoise formation is displayed, and sometimes it can indeed achieve some unexpected effects to win the game. But if your team does not have enough offensive and counterattack capabilities, sometimes, full defense means that the team basically loses all offensive capabilities. Hannover is now facing such a problem. They want to put up a defensive formation and consume Wolfsburg to the end, but they never thought that Wolfsburg still has a chance to break through their gates. And when their door was breached, they were depressed to find that it seemed that it was not a particularly easy task for them to fight back.

Last season’s Wolfsburg defensive counterattack tactics played well, but it was based on their wing with two offensive full-backs, and the two center forwards on the frontcourt were the fulcrums. Compared with Wolfsburg and Hannover’s The counterattack ability is obviously much worse. The team is behind, but they don't have the ability to counterattack.

They wanted to ask for a draw, but in the end they still didn’t get the desired result. Relying on Mandzukic’s barb to score the goal, in the season debut against Hannover, Wolfsburg got 1 -0 victory.

The victory of the first show undoubtedly relieved the fans of Wolfsburg. However, despite the victory over Hannover, the 1-0 score is really not a gratifying achievement. Compared with such results, what they look forward to more is a more beautiful victory.

The wish of Wolfsburg fans was soon realized. In the next home game against Mainz. Wolf Castle played completely differently.

Since the beginning of last season, Wolfsburg has played far better at home than away. This season, they obviously also continued the characteristics of the previous two seasons. Wolf Fort at home. Obviously, they weren't worried about the opponent's strict defense. They launched a crazy attack right after the opening, and this style of play also allowed them to quickly score goals.

Turan scored the first goal of the game. After Wolfsburg got a long-range free kick in the frontcourt, Shaheen took the free kick. Turan, who got the ball on the edge of the penalty area, shook the opponent's defense with a kick, and then shot directly. Knocked on the opponent's door first. At home, Wolf Castle's situation is obviously different. They are quite proficient in various tactics.

This ball is just the beginning. Soon, a side attack by Wolfsburg worked again. This time. After receiving a pass from Rong on the right, Turan took a step towards the right. Then he made a pass back and gave the ball to Rong who cut into the midfield. Rong transferred the cross and sent the ball to Sha Xin's feet. Sha Xin directly chose a shot. Although his shot was blocked by the opponent's defender, Gao Shunyao found a chance in the penalty area. He grabbed the ball in time and then made a supplementary shot. Wolfsburg expanded the score.

After 2-0, Wolfsburg's offense did not stop. Soon, an offense from a wide pass made Mandzukic score again. This is not the final result. In a corner kick attack, Wolfsburg defender Kjaer successfully kicked the ball to the opposing player in the chaos, creating an own goal and making the score of the game 4-0.

A big victory, Wolfsburg seemed to announce to the whole league. The first game was not played well, but it was an accident. The dilemma of the first game. It seems that with this victory, it also disappeared. With a 4-0 victory, a big victory was won in the first game at home, and the team's mood has also risen a lot. With a surge of joy, Wolfsburg also ushered in its third game. This time, they are going to challenge Schalke 04 away.

The opponent of Schalke 04, in the eyes of Wolfsburg, is really nothing worth noting. Over the past summer, if one of the Bundesliga's strong teams has changed the most, it is definitely them.

At the beginning of this year, Schalke had to change the position of the head coach because of poor results. However, changing coaches did not make their situation better. In the end, Schalke still fell out of the top four and only qualified for the Europa League. This kind of performance is naturally not enough for a team like Schalke that is considered a strong Bundesliga team, especially to see that his neighbor next door has reached the Champions League final, and it has made Schalke fans complain.

However, even so, Schalke miraculously did not change the head coach this summer-perhaps because there are not many coaches that can make them attractive, perhaps because he believes he can play better, Schal Ke chose to retain the original coaching lineup and continue to fight for the new season with all his heart. This decision made the entire Bundesliga ridiculed. Keller's level is basically known to the entire Bundesliga. How can the team play well if he coaches him?

When Wolfsburg went to play away games, he also had this idea. Schalke is no longer an opponent they can look down on, and they are also looking forward to a beautiful away victory.

However, there are times when things go against their expectations. Wolfsburg is looking forward to victory, but they are greeted by a game that is almost weird to Keller against Bayern last season.

In this game, Schalke's formation did not arouse Wolfsburg's vigilance. What they are afraid of now is that they are defending the enemy, but Schalke seems to want to attack them, which makes Wolfsburg have some care. But obviously, they overlooked that Schalke's offensive ability was really good. The game was almost just beginning, and Schalke knocked on the door of Wolfsburg through a beautiful attack.

This summer, Schalke really weakened a lot compared to before. In the first two rounds, they did not win and played very badly. But Keller, the coach, always seems to have a very strange temperament. Schalke was also a weak team against a weak team, but in the face of a strong opponent, his team seemed to be promoted to a strong team in an instant.

Their goals can be said to be very strange. This attack can not even be said to be based on tactics. After Schalke got the ball in the backcourt once, Uchida took the ball and rushed directly on the wing.

To say that Schalke’s offense has no tactics is not a ridicule. Although their players are good, many of their tactics have not been well polished, and they have played a little carelessly. Uchida Atsushi's breakthrough was immediately besieged by Wolf Fort, and there was no way to continue the attack. However, the besieged Uchida Atsushi may be the most blessed, and when he was pushed, he threw the ball straight and gave the ball to Farfan in front. And Farfan, who got the ball, also faced a siege. In desperation, he passed the ball directly to the penalty area, hoping to create an attack.

What he did was to be blind, but this time the blind blindness had an unimaginable effect. Huntelaar in the frontcourt showed his excellent sense of dominance in the Bundesliga at this time. Before the Wolfsburg defender could react, he easily got rid of Naldo and smashed the football into the goal with a header.

Schalke unexpectedly gained a lead in the game. And this advantage also made the players of Wolfsburg a little uncontrollable and began to counterattack. However, Wolfsburg's counterattack had not yet worked, and Schalke's attack had succeeded again. This time, Schalke still launched the attack by Atsushi Uchida, but this time he chose a long diagonal pass and sent the ball to the left. On the left, the starting Drexler received the ball. He took the ball and broke through a few steps forward. Just above the edge of the penalty area, he took a long shot and broke through the gate of Wolfsburg.

Schalke scored two goals in just five minutes, which made Wolfsburg's original contempt also closed. However, it would be too late to notice the enemy's strength at this time. Keller also saw the incredible results of his team. In this case, he did not have the idea of ​​letting the team pursue further, but decisively chose to let the team defend the whole game, relying on two The advantage of the ball comes to a war of attrition with Wolfsburg.

His approach is undoubtedly the most correct choice. The two-ball advantage is in hand, and the turtle can't get out, no matter how strong Wolf Fort is. Although in the face of this situation, Wolfsburg also increased their air ball and long-range threats, but until the end, they did not make any effective offense.

A 0-2, in the third game of the league, Wolfsburg upset and lost to Schalke. Last season, Schalke drew a strong draw with Bayern, making Wolfsburg snicker, and this season, they have also been counter-attacked by Schalke.

Keller in the league ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ once again proved that he is good at fighting against strong teams, and Wolfsburg has become a footnote to his success.

This game also made Gao Shunyao very depressed. He himself failed to score a goal, which made him blame himself. The league had just played the third game and suffered a defeat. They obviously didn't play well this season. This made Gao Shunyao even more hate that he was not in the state. Schalke was clearly not the Schalke of last year. Their current level is completely a group of weak chickens. My own team hasn't even been able to take them down, which is really a very depressing thing.

At this time, the only thing that made him a little happy was that Wolfsburg's schedule was pretty good. Throughout August, they will have the 31st match against Hertha Berlin, and after that, the fifth round of the Bundesliga will not take place until September 14. With such a long period of rest, Wolfsburg is enough to recover some form. At that time, facing Leverkusen, Gao Shunyao is sure that he can play well.

Moreover, before the arrival of the fourth round, Wolfsburg will also usher in another piece of good news. At the draw on August 30, they also need to know who they will face in the Champions League.

This is the second time they have played in the Champions League, and they hope that this time will be a little different from the last time. (To be continued)
